Blind people and mobile touch-based text-entry: acknowledging the need for different flavors. In The proceedings of the 13th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibility (ASSETS '11). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 179-186. DOI=10.1145/2049536.2049569 http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2049536.2049569 SIGACCESS Scholarship in Computers and Accessibility The SIGACCESS Scholarship Award aims to provide support for participation in the ASSETS conference for individuals who would not otherwise be able to attend. Practitioners, researchers, members of advocacy groups, or individuals with disabilities are eligible to apply. Applicants must have a demonstrated interest in accessible computing. Awardees will have the opportunity to actively participate in the ASSETS conference and gain experience and knowledge from interacting with experts in the field. The scholarship award is in the amount of $2,000. SIGACCESS awards up to two scholarships per year, pending availability of funds. The 2011 scholarships were awarded to Heather Markham and Willam Li to attend ASSETS 2011. Supporting ACM-W Scholarships Beginning with ASSETS 2010, SIGACCESS now supports the ACM-W Scholarship program by providing a complimentary registration to ACM-W Scholarship recipients. For ASSETS 2011, SIGACCESS hosted Sanjana Prassain, University of Washington, who was also a participant in the ASSETS ’11 ACM SRC. Significant Programs ASSETS Conference ASSETS’11 was held in Dundee, Scotland. Once again, conference attendance exceeded projections, with over 145 attendees. Consistent with recent history, submissions for the technical program were received from numerous counties and accepted papers covered a wide variety of topics. Once again, the conference featured an NSF sponsored Doctoral Consortium (see http://www.sigaccess.org/community/newsletter/january_2012/jan_2012.pdf). This consortium allowed doctoral students to present their dissertation topics and receive feedback during formative stages of their work. The conference also hosted a Microsoft Student Research Competition (SRC) event (see information about the winners of the competition above). The SIGACCESS Business Meeting, held at ASSETS, updated attendees on SIG activities and discussed ideas for new activities. We continued discussions regarding supporting workshops or other smaller events that were more focused with regard to topic or geographical location. ASSETS offers a mentoring program to authors who are new to the conference as well as authors who are new to presenting research or are submitting work to a new category. Authors who are not familiar with preparing papers in English can also seek assistance. Mentors are experienced ASSETS authors, providing advice to the prospective authors about how their work may fit with the conference and how to effectively present their ideas. Normally, mentoring does not include detailed copyediting. This year the mentoring program received 12 requests. To provide some context, the conference normally receives approximately 100 full paper submissions. ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing The inaugural issue of the ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS) appeared in May, 2008. Volume one included three issues, with volumes two and three both including the full set of four issues. The number of submissions continues to grow. TACCESS is a quarterly journal that publishes refereed articles addressing issues of computing as it impacts the lives of people with disabilities. It provides a technical forum for disseminating innovative research related to computing technologies and their use by people with disabilities. The SIGACCESS newsletter continues with its regular online publications: see http://www.sigaccess.org/community/newsletter/. Jinjuan Feng (Towson University) has served as the Newsletter Editor since June, 2010. Also available on the SIGACCESS website is the periodic ‘Left Field’ column (see http://www.sigaccess.org/community/left_field/), which is now produced by Marko Vigo of the University of Manchester. The goal of Left Field is to bring to the attention of members publications from the ACM Digital Library that are of interest, but published in venues typically outside the reading of SIGACCESS members. SIGACCESS Website The SIGACCESS website was created and maintained by the SIGACCESS webmaster, Jeffrey Bigham (University of Rochester). The SIGACCESS web site provides information about the SIG’s activities including awards and conferences as well as a repository of dissertations and theses, our newsletter, the “Left Field” column, writing guidelines, and other resources which may be of value to the community. Innovative programs SIGACCESS has developed several resources which are made available to the community at large via the SIGACCESS web site. The first is a set of writing guidelines which reflect current thinking on language for writing in the academic accessibility community. Certain words or phrases can (intentionally or unintentionally) reflect bias or negative, disparaging, or patronizing attitudes toward people with disabilities and in fact any identifiable group of people. Choosing language that is neutral, accurate, and represents the preference of the groups to which it refers can convey respect and integrity. The second resource is a guide for planning accessible conferences. This document contains information for organizers of academic conferences who wish to make their events as accessible as possible, so that people with disabilities can participate fully. SIGACCESS is pleased to be supporting a workshop that will be held in conjunction with the upcoming ECRC event in 2013 in Paris. Key Issues Moving forward, there are a number of issues that SIGACCESS must address including developing future leaders for the community and continuing our efforts to reach new audiences. The SIG is actively engaged in developing leaders, recruiting new members of the community to participate both in the conference organizing committee and in other SIG activities. To reach new audiences, and become a more international organization, the SIG arranged for ASSETS to be held in Europe. We were pleased that ASSETS 2011 received numerous submissions and had very strong attendance. We will be considering the possibility of holding ASSETS outside of the US more frequently. SIGACCESS just held a successful election with a full slate of candidates. The current Chair and Secretary/Treasurer were re-elected and Clayton Lewis of the University of Colorado was elected to serve as the Vice Chair starting in July. We thank Enrico Pontelli of New Mexico State University for his service as Vice Chair of SIGACCESS for the previous three years.

  • On Invariant Synthesis for Parametric Systems
    On Invariant Synthesis for Parametric Systems Dennis Peuter and Viorica Sofronie-Stokkermans Universit¨at Koblenz-Landau, Koblenz, Germany {dpeuter,sofronie}@uni-koblenz.de May 30, 2019 Abstract We study possibilities for automated invariant generation in parametric systems. We use (a refinement of) an algorithm for symbol elimination in theory extensions to devise a method for iteratively strengthening certain classes of safety properties to obtain invariants of the system. We identify conditions under which the method is correct and complete, and situations in which the method is guaranteed to terminate. We illustrate the ideas on various examples. 1 Introduction In the verification of parametric systems it is important to show that a certain property holds for all states reachable from the initial state. One way to solve such problems is to identify an inductive invariant which entails the property to be proved. Finding suitable inductive invariants is non-trivial – the problem is undecidable in general; solutions have been proposed for specific cases, as discussed in what follows. In [Kap06], Kapur proposes methods for invariant generation in theories such as Presburger arithmetic, real closed fields, and for polynomial equations and inequations with solutions in an algebraically closed field. The main idea is to use templates for the invariant (polynomials with undetermined coefficients), and solve constraints for all paths and initial values to determine the coefficients. A similar idea was used by Beyer et al. [BHMR07] for constraints in linear real or rational arithmetic; it is shown that if an invariant is expressible with a given template, then it will be computed. Symbol elimination has been used for interpolation and invariant generation in many papers.

  • Origins of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence
    AI Magazine Volume 26 Number 4 (2006)(2005) (© AAAI) 25th Anniversary Issue The Origins of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Raj Reddy ■ This article provides a historical background on how AAAI came into existence. It provides a ratio- nale for why we needed our own society. It pro- vides a list of the founding members of the com- munity that came together to establish AAAI. Starting a new society comes with a whole range of issues and problems: What will it be called? How will it be financed? Who will run the society? What kind of activities will it engage in? and so on. This article provides a brief description of the consider- ations that went into making the final choices. It also provides a description of the historic first AAAI conference and the people that made it happen. The Background and the Context hile the 1950s and 1960s were an ac- tive period for research in AI, there Wwere no organized mechanisms for the members of the community to get together and share ideas and accomplishments. By the early 1960s there were several active research groups in AI, including those at Carnegie Mel- lon University (CMU), the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, Stanford Research Institute (later SRI Interna- tional), and a little later the University of Southern California Information Sciences Insti- tute (USC-ISI). My own involvement in AI began in 1963, when I joined Stanford as a graduate student working with John McCarthy. After completing my Ph.D. in 1966, I joined the faculty at Stan- ford as an assistant professor and stayed there until 1969 when I left to join Allen Newell and Herb Simon at Carnegie Mellon University Raj Reddy.
