Computer Science Methods for Effective and Sustainable Simulation Studies (Dagstuhl Seminar 22401)
Abstract
This report documents the program and the (preliminary) outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 22401 "Computer Science Methods for Effective and Sustainable Simulation Studies". The seminar has been dedicated to addressing central methodological challenges in conducting effective and sustainable simulation studies. Lightning talks provided the opportunity for participants to present their current research and ideas to advance methodological research in modeling and simulation. However, the lion’s share of the seminar was dedicated to working groups. One working group investigated how machine learning and modeling and simulation can be effectively integrated (Intelligent Modeling and Simulation Lifecycle). Another working group focused on methodological challenges to support policy via simulation (Policy by simulation: seeing is believing for interactive model co-creation and effective intervention). A third working group identified 4 challenges closely tied to the quest for sustainable simulation studies (Context, composition, automation, and communication - towards sustainable simulation studies) thereby, focusing on the role of model-based approaches and related methods.

Foundations for a New Perspective of Understanding Programming (Dagstuhl Seminar 22402)
Abstract
Software is created by people who think, feel, and express themselves to one another and their computers. For a long time, researchers have investigated how people read and write code on their computers and talk about code with one another. This way, researchers identified skills, education, and practices necessary to acquire expertise and perform software development duties. While these investigations are valuable, we have yet to devise and validate a scientific theory of program comprehension, which would be an important step in designing support for developers that is tailored to their cognitive needs. To succeed, we need techniques to shed more light on how programmers think. To this end, we need to look beyond computer science research.
Specifically, in the field of psychology and cognitive neuroscience, considerable progress has been made in building theories of cognitive processes. Important enabling technologies include eye tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). These methods have revolutionized the understanding of cognitive processes and are routinely used in non-computing disciplines. Such techniques have the potential to also modernize classic approaches to program comprehension research by informing new experimental designs. However, the use of such technologies to study program comprehension is recent, and many of the challenges of this interdisciplinary field remain unexplored.
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 22402, "Foundations for a New Perspective of Understanding Programming", which explores these challenges. In total, 23 on-site participants attended the seminar along with two virtual keynote speakers. Participants engaged in intensive collaboration, including discussing past and current research, identifying gaps in the literature, and proposing future directions for improving the state of the art in program comprehension research.

Theory and Practice of SAT and Combinatorial Solving (Dagstuhl Seminar 22411)
Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 22411 "Theory and Practice of SAT and Combinatorial Solving". The purpose of this workshop was to explore the Boolean satisfiability (SAT) problem, which plays a fascinating dual role in computer science. By the theory of NP-completeness, this problem captures thousands of important applications in different fields, and a rich mathematical theory has been developed showing that all these problems are likely to be infeasible to solve in the worst case. But real-world problems are typically not worst-case, and in recent decades exceedingly efficient algorithms based on so-called conflict-driven clause learning (CDCL) have turned SAT solvers into highly practical tools for solving large-scale real-world problems in a wide range of application areas. Analogous developments have taken place for problems beyond NP such as SAT-based optimization (MaxSAT), pseudo-Boolean optimization, satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solving, quantified Boolean formula (QBF) solving, constraint programming, and mixed integer programming, where the conflict-driven paradigm has sometimes been added to other powerful techniques. The current state of the art in combinatorial solving presents a host of exciting challenges at the borderline between theory and practice. Can we gain a deeper scientific understanding of the techniques and heuristics used in modern combinatorial solvers and why they are so successful? Can we develop tools for rigorous analysis of the potential and limitations of these algorithms? Can computational complexity theory be extended to shed light on real-world settings that go beyond worst case? Can more powerful methods of reasoning developed in theoretical research be harnessed to yield improvements in practical performance? And can state-of-the-art combinatorial solvers be enhanced to not only solve problems, but also provide verifiable proofs of correctness for the solutions they produce? This workshop gathered leading applied and theoretical researchers working on SAT and combinatorial optimization more broadly in order to stimulate an exchange of ideas and techniques. We see great opportunities for fruitful interplay between theory and practice in these areas, as well as for technology transfer between different paradigms in combinatorial optimization, and our assessment is that this workshop demonstrated very convincingly that a more vigorous interaction has potential for major long-term impact in computer science, as well for applications in industry.

Intelligent Security: Is "AI for Cybersecurity" a Blessing or a Curse (Dagstuhl Seminar 22412)
Abstract
This report documents the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 22412 "Intelligent Security: Is "AI for Cybersecurity" a Blessing or a Curse". The seminar brought together 25 attendees from 10 countries (Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, and the USA). There were 17 male and 8 female participants. Three participants were from the industry, and the rest were from academia. The gathered researchers are actively working in the domains of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, emphasizing hardware security, fuzzing, physical security, and network security. The seminar aims to foster sharing experiences and best practices between various cybersecurity applications and understand how and when certain approaches are transferable. The first two days were devoted to 20-minute self-introductions by participants to achieve these goals. At the end of the second day, we made a list of topics that were decided to be the focus of the seminar and that will be discussed in the groups in the next few days. On the third and fourth days, the work was conducted in four discussion groups where at the end of each day, all participants gathered to report the results from the discussion groups and to align the goals. On the last day, we again worked in one group to summarize the findings and foster networking among participants. A hike was organized in the afternoon of the third day. The seminar was a success. The participants actively participated in the working groups and the discussions and went home with new ideas and collaborators. This report gathers the abstracts of the presented talks and the conclusions from the discussion groups, which we consider relevant contributions toward better interdisciplinary research on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

Security of Decentralized Financial Technologies (Dagstuhl Seminar 22421)
Abstract
The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector has grown to a 13+ billion USD economy, encompassing various financial activities. The non-custodial nature of DeFi requires users to take responsibility for managing their assets, but it also provides them more control over their assets. The Dagstuhl Seminar brought researchers together to examine the security, privacy, and financial properties of DeFi and explore ways to protect users. The seminar aimed to reconcile the conflicting demands of security, usability, and performance in DeFi and outline best practices. Despite progress made in the DeFi sector, there is still much to be explored and improved, such as user education, regulatory compliance, and the scalability and performance limitations of decentralized ledgers. To build a secure and user-friendly DeFi ecosystem, continued collaboration among experts is needed.

Data-Driven Combinatorial Optimisation (Dagstuhl Seminar 22431)
Abstract
Machine learning’s impressive achievements in the last decade have urged many scientific communities to ask if and how the techniques developed in that field to leverage data could be used to advance research in others. The combinatorial optimisation community is one of those, and the area of data-driven combinatorial optimisation has emerged. The motivation of the seminar and its design and development have followed the idea of making researchers both in academia and industry belonging to different communities - from operations research to constraint programming, from artificial intelligence to machine learning - communicate, establish a shared language, and ultimately (try to) set the roadmap for the development of the field.

Optimization at the Second Level (Dagstuhl Seminar 22441)
Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 22441 "Optimization at the Second Level". The seminar was held on October 30 - November 4, 2022 in Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik. Participants gave overview talks and presented recent results in bilevel, robust, and stochastic optimization. These three areas have in common that they typically deal with optimization problems which are contained in the second level of the polynomial hierarchy. The goal of the seminar was to bring together experts of bilevel, robust, and stochastic optimization in order to connect and work towards new insights and approaches for such problems. During the seminar, the relationships between these different areas of optimization were intensively discussed and interesting connections were identified.

Toward Scientific Evidence Standards in Empirical Computer Science (Dagstuhl Seminar 22442)
Abstract
Many scientific fields of study use formally established evidence standards during the peer review and evaluation process, such as Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) in medical research, the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) used in education in the United States, or the APA Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS) in psychology. The basis for these standards is community agreement on what to report in empirical studies. Such standards achieve two key goals. First, they make it easier to compare studies, facilitating replications, through transparent reporting and sharing of data, which can provide confidence that multiple research teams can obtain the same results. Second, they establish community agreement on how to report on and evaluate studies using different methodologies. The discipline of computer science does not have formalized evidence standards, even for major conferences or journals. This Dagstuhl Seminar has three primary objectives:
1) To establish a process for creating or adopting an existing evidence standard for empirical research in computer science.
2) To build a community of scholars that can discuss what a general standard should include.
3) To kickstart the discussion with scholars from software engineering, human-computer interaction, and computer science education. In order to better discuss and understand the implications of such standards across several empirical subfields of computer science and to facilitate adoption, we brought together participants from a range of backgrounds; including academia and industry, software engineering, computer-human interaction and computer science education, as well as representatives from several prominent journals. Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Numbers NSF HCC: 2106392 and NSF I-TEST: 2048356.
