    The Combined KEAPPA - IWIL Workshops Proceedings Proceedings of the workshops Knowledge Exchange: Automated Provers and Proof Assistants and The 7th International Workshop on the Implementation of Logics held at The 15th International Conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning November 23-27, 2008, Doha, Qatar Knowledge Exchange: Automated Provers and Proof Assistants (KEAPPA) Existing automated provers and proof assistants are complementary, to the point that their cooperative integration would benefit all efforts in automating reasoning. Indeed, a number of specialized tools incorporating such integration have been built. The issue is, however, wider, as we can envisage cooper- ation among various automated provers as well as among various proof assistants. This workshop brings together practitioners and researchers who have experimented with knowledge exchange among tools supporting automated reasoning. Organizers: Piotr Rudnicki, Geoff Sutcliffe The 7th International Workshop on the Implementation of Logics (IWIL) IWIL has been unusually sucessful in bringing together many talented developers, and thus in sharing information about successful implementation techniques for automated reasoning systems and similar programs. The workshop includes contributions describing implementation techniques for and imple- mentations of automated reasoning programs, theorem provers for various logics, logic programming systems, and related technologies.

  • Invited Speakers
    Invited Speakers In addition to six paper presentations, which will be accompanied by discussions, the work- shop features two keynote speakers: Anthony Cohn (University of Leeds, UK) and Henry Kautz (University of Rochester, USA). Anthony Cohn holds a Personal Chair at the University of Leeds, where he is professor of automated reasoning and served a term as head of the School of Computing, from August 1999 to July 2004. He is presently director of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Biological Systems. He holds BSc and PhD degrees from the University of Essex, where he studied under Pat Hayes. He spent 10 years at the University of Warwick before moving to Leeds in 1990. He now leads a research group working on knowledge representation and reasoning with a particular focus on qualitative spatial/spatio-temporal reasoning, the best known being the well cited Region Connection Calculus (RCC). His current research inter- ests range from theoretical work on spatial calculi and spatial ontologies, to cognitive vision, modeling spatial information in the hippocampus, and integrating utility data recording the location of underground assets. He has received substantial funding from a variety of sources, including EPSRC, the DTI, DARPA, the European Union and various industrial sources. Work from the Cogvis project won the British Computer Society Machine Intelligence prize in 2004. Henry Kautz is chair of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Rochester. He performs research in knowledge representation, machine learning, pervasive computing, and assistive technology. His academic degrees include an A.B. in mathematics from Cornell University, an M.A.

  • Recent Progress in Propositional Reasoning and Search
    Ten Challenges Redux: Recent Progress in Propositional Reasoning and Search Henry Kautz1 and Bart Selman2 1 Department of Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195 USA [email protected] 2 Department of Computer Science Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 USA [email protected] Abstract. In 1997 we presented ten challenges for research on satisfia- bility testing [1]. In this paper we review recent progress towards each of these challenges, including our own work on the power of clause learning and randomized restart policies. 1 Introduction The past few years have seen enormous progress in the performance of Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solvers. Despite the worst-case exponential run time of all known algorithms, SAT solvers are now in routine use for applications such as hardware verification [2] that involve solving hard structured problems with up to a million variables [3, 4]. Each year the International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing hosts a SAT competition that highlights a new group of “world’s fastest” SAT solvers, and presents detailed performance results on a wide range of solvers [5, 6]. In the the 2003 competition, over 30 solvers competed on instances selected from thousands of benchmark problems. In 1997, we presented ten challenges for research on satisfiability testing [1], on topics that at the time appeared to be ripe for progress. In this paper we revisit these challenges, review progess, and offer some suggestions for future research. A full review of the literature related to the original challenges, let alone satisfiability testing as a whole, is beyond the scope of this paper.

    Guide: Towards Understanding Daily Life via Auto- Identification and Statistical Analysis Kenneth P. Fishkin1, Henry Kautz2, Donald Patterson2, Mike Perkowitz2, Matthai Philipose1 1 Intel Research Seattle, 1100 NE 45th St, 6th floor Seattle, WA 98105, USA {kenneth.p.fishkin, matthai.philipose}@intel.com 2 Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195-2350, USA {kautz, djp3, mikep}@cs.washington.edu http://seattleweb.intel-research.net/projects/guide Abstract. Many recent studies have underscored the applicability to health- care of a system able to observe and understand day-to-day human activities. The Guide project is aimed at building just such a system. The project com- bines novel sensing technology, expressive but scalable learners and unsuper- vised mining of activity models from the web to address the problem. An early prototype, Carnac, has shown considerable promise. This paper provides a high-level overview of the Guide approach, briefly discusses Carnac, and de- tails our expectations of the workshop. 1 Introduction Understanding the day-to-day activities of individuals (such as eating, cleaning, cooking, watching television, exercising, shaving, and playing) has been recognized as a capability with a wide range of applications to healthcare. Applications include reminders to perform missed activities, prompts to help in completing activities, monitoring to assess the ability to live independently, notifications to caregivers as a response to anomalous or undesirable patterns of activity and logs to help understand a patient’s current state based on recent activity [2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12]. Many systems address the problem of activity recognition, but all the ones we are aware of are se- verely limited in the variety of activities they recognize, the robustness and speed with which they recognize them, and/or the ease of adding new activities for the system to detect.

  • Embedded Surface Attack on Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystems from Diophantine Equation
    Embedded Surface Attack on Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystems from Diophantine Equation A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Mathematical Sciences College of Arts and Sciences University of Cincinnati Author: Ai Ren Chair: Professor Jintai Ding Degrees: B.S. Mathematics, 2004, University of Science and Technology of China M.S. Information Systems, 2008, Benedictine University ii Abstract In 2011, Gao and Heindl proposed a family of Multivariate Public Key Cryp- tosystems by combining the triangular scheme and the oil-vinegar scheme. The new design was claimed to be secured under known attacks. Besides that, they also used the Medium-Field Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystem as an ex- ample of their general frame and explained how it works. Later, by introducing several Diophantine equations into their design, they presented the Diophan- tine Equations Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystem (DEMPKC) with three sets of suggested parameters and the claimed security level were high. In this paper, we present our cryptanalysis on DEMPKC. Our cryptanalysis uses embedded surfaces associated with the DEMPKC and shows the attack can break the system efficiently. Our work provides an example of more general embedded surfaces other than linearization type of equations can be very useful to attack cryptosystems. iii c by Ai Ren. All rights reserved. Acknowledgments Firstly, I want to thank Dr. Jintai Ding for his endless support, his patience, and immense knowledge. Jintai is very famous in the area of cryptography. He and his remarkable work provide us the opportunity of doing the important research. To me, he is not just an advisor but my family member.
