The iTWIST workshop series aim at fostering collaboration between international scientific teams for developing new theories, applications and generalizations of low-complexity models. These events emphasize dissemination of ideas through both specific oral and poster presentations, as well as free discussions. For this fourth edition, iTWIST18 gathered in CIRM, Marseille, France, 74 international participants and featured 7 invited talks, 16 oral presentations, and 21 posters. From iTWIST18, the scientific committee has decided that the workshop proceedings will adopt the episcience.org philosophy, combined with arXiv.org: in a nutshell, the proceedings are equivalent to an overlay page, built above arXiv.org; they add value to these archives by attaching a scientific caution to the validated papers. This means that all papers listed in the HTML page of this arxiv publication (see the menu on the right) have been thoroughly evaluated and approved by two independent reviewers, and authors have revised their work according to the comments provided by these reviewers.
The implicit objective of the biennial international - Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology (iTWIST) is to foster collaboration between international scientific teams by disseminating ideas through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions. For its second edition, the iTWIST workshop took place in the medieval and picturesque town of Namur in Belgium, from Wednesday August 27th till Friday August 29th, 2014. The workshop was conveniently located in The Arsenal building within walking distance of both hotels and town center. iTWIST14 has gathered about 70 international participants and has featured 9 invited talks, 10 oral presentations, and 14 posters on the following themes, all related to the theory, application and generalization of the sparsity paradigm: Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing; Union of low dimensional subspaces; Beyond linear and convex inverse problem; Matrix/manifold/graph sensing/processing; Blind inverse problems and dictionary learning; Sparsity and computational neuroscience; Information theory, geometry and randomness; Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods; Sparsity? Whats next?; Sparse machine learning and inference.
The third edition of the international - Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology (iTWIST) took place in Aalborg, the 4th largest city in Denmark situated beautifully in the northern part of the country, from the 24th to 26th of August 2016. The workshop venue was at the Aalborg University campus. One implicit objective of this biennial workshop is to foster collaboration between international scientific teams by disseminating ideas through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions. For this third edition, iTWIST16 gathered about 50 international participants and features 8 invited talks, 12 oral presentations, and 12 posters on the following themes, all related to the theory, application and generalization of the sparsity paradigm: Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing (e.g., optics, computer vision, genomics, biomedical, digital communication, channel estimation, astronomy); Application of sparse models in non-convex/non-linear inverse problems (e.g., phase retrieval, blind deconvolution, self calibration); Approximate probabilistic inference for sparse problems; Sparse machine learning and inference; Blind inverse problems and dictionary learning; Optimization for sparse modelling; Information theory, geometry and randomness; Sparsity? Whats next? (Discrete-valued signals; Union of low-dimensional spaces, Cosparsity, mixed/group norm, model-based, low-complexity models, ...); Matrix/manifold sensing/processing (graph, low-rank approximation, ...); Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods/optimization; Electronic/optical compressive sensors (hardware).
This volume contains the formal proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Rewriting Techniques for Program Transformations and Evaluation (WPTE 2017), held on 8th September 2017 in Oxford, United Kingdom, and affiliated with the Second International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2017).
This volume contains the formal proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Rewriting Techniques for Program Transformations and Evaluation (WPTE 2018), held on 8th of Juli 2018 in Oxford, United Kingdom, and affiliated with FLoC 2018 and FSCD 2018. Scope of WPTE: Rewriting techniques are of great help for studying correctness of program transformations, translations and evaluation, and the aim of WPTE is to bring together the researchers working on program transformations, evaluation, and operationally-based programming language semantics, using rewriting methods, in order to share the techniques and recent developments and to exchange ideas to encourage further activation of research in this area. Topics in the scope of WPTE include the correctness of program transformations, optimisations and translations; program transformations for proving termination, confluence and other properties; correctness of evaluation strategies; operational semantics of programs, operationally-based program equivalences such as contextual equivalences and bisimulations; cost-models for reasoning about the optimizing power of transformations and the costs of evaluation; program transformations for verification and theorem proving purposes; translation, simulation, equivalence of programs with different formalisms, and evaluation strategies; program transformations for applying rewriting techniques to programs in specific programming languages; program transformations for program
This volume contains the proceedings of the First International Workshop of Formal Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems (FTSCS 2012), held in Kyoto on November 12, 2012, as a satellite event of the ICFEM conference. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers interested in the application of (semi-)formal methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. FTSCS is particularly interested in industrial applications of formal methods. Topics include: - the use of formal methods for safety-critical and QoS-critical systems, including avionics, automotive, and medical systems; - methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis, certification, debugging, etc.; - analysis methods that address the limitations of formal methods in industry; - formal analysis support for modeling languages used in industry, such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE, Modelica, etc.; and - code generation from validated models. The workshop received 25 submissions; 21 of these were regular papers and 4 were tool/work-in-progress/position papers. Each submission was reviewed by three referees; based on the reviews and extensive discussions, the program committee selected nine regular papers, which are included in this volume. Our program also included an invited talk by Ralf Huuck.
