VCLA International Students Awards 2019 in Logic & Computer Science, Deadline: 15 March 2019

The Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms (VCLA) at TU Wien seeks 
nominations for the VCLA International Student Awards 2019. The annually 
awarded VCLA International Student Awards for Outstanding Master and 
Undergraduate Research (Bachelor) Theses (or equivalent) recognize authors 
of scientific works across the wide spectrum of Logic and Computer 
Science. Final Submission Deadline:  15.3.2019

AWARD

*Outstanding Master Thesis Award:  1200 EUR

*Outstanding Undergraduate Research (Bachelor) Award:  800 EUR

*The winners will be invited to present their work at an award ceremony in 
Vienna, Austria.

ELIGIBILITY

*The degree must have been awarded between November 15th, 2017, and 
December 31st, 2018, (inclusive).

*Students who obtained their degree at TU Wien are excluded from the
nomination.



MAIN AREAS OF INTEREST

*Computational Logic, covering theoretical and mathematical foundations such
as proof theory, model theory, computability theory, algorithmic lower and
upper bounds, Boolean satisfiability (SAT), QBF, constraint satisfaction,
satisfiability modulo theories, automated deduction (resolution, refutation,
theorem proving), non-classical logics (substructural logics, multi-valued
logics, deontic logics, modal and temporal logics), computational complexity
and algorithms (complexity analysis, parameterized and exact algorithms,
decomposition methods).

*Databases and Artificial Intelligence, concerned with logical methods for 
modeling, storing, and drawing inferences from data and knowledge. This 
includes subjects like query languages based on logical concepts (Datalog, 
variants of SQL, XML, and SPARQL), novel database-theoretical methods 
(schema mappings, information extraction and integration), logic 
programming, knowledge representation and reasoning (ontologies, 
answer-set programming, belief change, inconsistency handling, 
argumentation, planning).

*Verification, concerned with logical methods and automated tools for 
reasoning about the behavior and correctness of complex state-based 
systems such as software and hardware designs as well as hybrid systems. 
This ranges from model checking, program analysis and abstraction to new 
interdisciplinary areas such as fault localization, program repair, 
program synthesis, and the analysis of biological systems.
