This inc= ludes subjects like query languages based on logical concepts (Datalog, var= iants of SQL, XML, and SPARQL), novel database-theoretical methods (schema = mappings, information extraction and integration), logic programming, knowl= edge representation and reasoning (ontologies, answer-set programming, beli= ef change, inconsistency handling, argumentation, planning). *Verification, concerned with logical methods and automated tools for reaso= ning about the behavior and correctness of complex state-based systems such= as software and hardware designs as well as hybrid systems. This ranges fr= om model checking, program analysis and abstraction to new interdisciplinar= y areas such as fault localization, program repair, program synthesis, and = the analysis of biological systems. *Formal Methods for Security and Privacy, covering design and analysis tech= niques for security and privacy critical systems, such as cryptographic pro= tocols, software, hardware and so on. The category of formal methods is to = be meant in a broad sense, including related questions in logic, model chec= king, static analysis, dynamic monitoring, theorem proving, and artificial = intelligence. ----------------------------------In Memory of Helmut Veith----------------= ------------------ The award is dedicated to the memory of Helmut Veith, the brilliant compute= r scientist who tragically passed away in March 2016, and aims to carry on = his commitment to promoting young talent and promising researchers in these= areas. ----------------------------------Awards---------------------------------- *The Outstanding Master Thesis Award: 1200 EUR=20 *The Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis Award: 800 EUR=20 *The winners will be invited to present their work at an award ceremony in = Vienna. ----------------------------------Eligibility------------------------------= ---- *The degree must have been awarded between November 15th, 2018 and December= 31st, 2019 (inclusive). *Students who obtained their degree at TU Wien are not eligible. ----------------------------------Nomination Requirements------------------= ---------------- Nominations must include: *A cover page that contains the name and contact details of the nominated p= erson, the title of the work for which the person is being nominated, award= category, the date on which the degree was awarded, and the name of the un= iversity=20 *An English summary of the thesis of maximum 3 pages, excluding references = (A4 or letter page size, 11pt font min).

The l= etter must clearly state the independent and novel contribution of the stud= ent, and why the proposer believes the student deserves the award. The endo= rsement letter may be provided after the submission deadline, and emailed d= irectly to award (AT) logic-cs.at. *The full thesis All documents should be in English, with the exception of the thesis. In ca= se the thesis is in a different language, it must be accompanied by a resea= rch report in English of at least 10 pages that should be sufficient for th= e committee to evaluate the merit and quality of the submitted work. ----------------------------------Instructions for submitting nominations--= -------------------------------- *Nominations should be submitted electronically using the following link to= EasyChair here=20 *Submissions consist of two pdf files.
