FUNDING and AWARDS:

CiE 2014 has received funding for student participation from the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS.  Please contact the PC
chairs if you are interested.

The best student paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.


CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe), 
a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists,
philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in
computability and their underlying significance for the real world. Previous
meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007),
Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011),
Cambridge (2012), and Milan (2013).

The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special focus
on relations between computational linguistics, natural and biological
computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory.  This is to 
be understood in its broadest sense including computational aspects of 
problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and algorithms 
inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as exhibiting limits 
(and non-limits) of computability when considering different models of 
computation arising from such approaches.

As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new computational
paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with respect to practical
applications and a deeper theoretical understanding.  We particularly invite
papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community.

For topics covered by the conference, please visit
       http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu/?Topics
We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as bioinformatics
and natural computation, where they have a basic connection with
computability.

CALL FOR PAPERS

ESSoS Doctoral Symposium
February 26, 2014, Munich


IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: January 13, 2014
Notification of Acceptance: January 21, 2014
Camera Ready Version: February 12, 2014


The ESSoS Doctoral Symposium 2014 will be held in Munich, Germany on
Wednesday, February 26, 2014 in conjunction with the ESSoS 2014 Symposium. 

Following the aim of the past ESSoS-DS edition, the scope of the current
event will be focused on providing PhD students an opportunity to discuss
their research in Engineering Secure Software and Systems (ESSoS) in an
international forum, and with a panel of well-known experts in the field.
NEW in this year's Symposium is the fact that we aim to bring together a
broad range of students: PhD students at the start of their trajectory,
students who are about to finish (What are the pitfalls in the final
stages?) and students in the middle (aiming for the first top-level
publication).
Students will have the occasion to discuss, in a welcoming and informal
atmosphere, the goals already achieved or planned, the research challenges
they are interested in, the projects they are working on, the facilities
they are developing, the problems they want to solve and are solving in
their doctoral work.

During the Doctoral Symposium students will receive useful feedback from
senior researchers, industrial partners and experts. It will also be a good
opportunity for meeting and sharing experiences with other PhD students that
are addressing similar topics, or are at a similar stage in their doctoral
work. This way, the students will obtain guidance both on the academic
content of their current work and on potential future research trajectories.
PhD students carrying out research in Engineering Secure Software and
Systems are invited to submit a position paper to the PhD Symposium.
Short papers will be peer-reviewed by the Symposium's program committee
members. The criteria used for accepting a paper include contribution of the
work to the ESSoS field, originality of the work, and overall quality of the
position paper.


TOPICS

PhD proposals fitting into the ESSoS conference topics are especially
encouraged. This includes a diversity of topics, such as (but not limited
to): 
- scalable techniques for threat modeling and analysis of vulnerabilities
- specification and management of security requirements and policies
- security architecture and design for software and systems
- model checking for security
- specification formalisms for security artifacts
- verification techniques for security properties
- systematic support for security best practices
- security testing
- security assurance cases
- programming paradigms, models and DSLs for security
- program rewriting techniques
- processes for the development of secure software and systems
- security oriented software reconfiguration and evolution
- security measurement
- automated development
- trade-off between security and other non-functional requirements
- support for assurance, certification and accreditation 
 
Accepted position papers will be presented during the ESSoS 2014 Doctoral
Symposium and will be published on the ESSoS website. Presenters of the
doctoral Symposium will get an opportunity to present their work in poster
format during the main program of ESSoS 2014. The organizers of the doctoral
symposium intend to publish post-proceedings of the Doctoral Symposium -
details will follow.

Second CALL FOR PAPERS

TTNLS: EACL 2014 Type Theory and Natural Language Semantics Workshop

Co-located with EACL 2014, Gothenburg, Sweden

27th of April, 2014

Submission deadline: 23rd January 2014

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Type theory has been a central area of research in logic, the semantics of programming languages, and natural language semantics over the past fifty years.  Recent developments in type theory have been used to reconstruct the formal foundations of computational semantics (Ranta (1994), Fox and Lappin (2005), Ginzburg (2012), Retor? (2012), Cooper (2012), Cooper et al. (2013)). These theories are generally intensional and polymorphic in character, and they allow for structured, fine-grained encoding of information across a diverse set of linguistic domains.

The work in this area has opened up new approaches to modeling the relations between, inter alia, syntax, semantic interpretation, dialogue, inference, and cognition, from a largely proof theoretic perspective.

The workshop provides a forum for the presentation of leading edge research in this fast developing subfield of computational linguistics. To the best of our knowledge it will be the first major conference on this topic hosted by the ACL.


TOPICS

We invite papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

* subtyping
* lexical semantics
* record types
* intensionality
* probabilistic type theory
* type theory and the interface among syntax, semantics, phonology
* type theory and functional programming
* type theory, logic, and inference

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 of interest and in the scope of WPTE are:

* Correctness of program transformations, optimizations 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 arguing 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 inversions and program synthesis.

The programming languages of interest include pure, deterministic, impure,
non-deterministic, concurrent, parallel  languages, and may employ programming
paradigms such as functional, logical, typed,  imperative, object-oriented, 
and higher-order.

Abbreviated instructions for authors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* By Saturday, 1 March 2014, 23:59 UTC-11 (anywhere in the world),
  submit a full paper of at most 12 pages (6 pages for an Experience
  Report), including bibliography and figures.

The deadlines will be strictly enforced and papers exceeding the page
limits will be summarily rejected.

* Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission,
  on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it.

* Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as
  explained on the web at
  http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication

* Authors of resubmitted (but previously rejected) papers have the
  option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous
  submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous
  reviews in the present submission.  If a reviewer identifies
  him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to
  see how his/her comments have been addressed, the program chair will
  communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous
  review.  Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of
  the previous reviews.

Overall, a submission will be evaluated according to its relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity.  It should
explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly
identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and comparing it with previous work.  The technical
content should be accessible to a broad audience.  Functional Pearls
and Experience Reports are separate categories of papers that need not
report original research results and must be marked as such at the
time of submission.  Detailed guidelines on both categories are on the
conference web site.

Proceedings will be published by ACM Press.  Authors of accepted
submissions are expected to transfer the copyright to the ACM.
Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the presenter
consents.  The proceedings will be freely available for download from
the ACM Digital Library from one week before the start of the
conference until two weeks after the conference.

Formatting: Submissions must be in PDF format printable in black and
white on US Letter sized paper and interpretable by
Ghostscript. Papers must adhere to the standard ACM conference format:
two columns, nine-point font on a ten-point baseline, with columns
20pc (3.33in) wide and 54pc (9in) tall, with a column gutter of 2pc
(0.33in).  A suitable document template for LaTeX is available:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm

Submission: Submissions will be accepted on the web at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfp2014 . Improved
versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the
submission deadline using the same web interface.

Author response: Authors will have a 72-hour period, starting at 0:00
UTC-11 on Wednesday, 23 April 2014, to read reviews and respond to them.

CSL is the annual meeting of the European Association for Computer Science
Logic (EACSL) intended for computer scientists whose research activities
involve logic, as well as for logicians working on issues significant for
computer science.

LICS is an annual international forum on theoretical and practical topics in
computer science that relate to logic.

The organizers of these two series of meetings have chosen to join the 2014
editions of these meetings into a single event within the Federated Logic
Conference (FLoC) that will be part of the Vienna Summer of Logic 2014. Thus,
in 2014, these meetings will have one program committee, one program, and one
proceedings. No decision has been made to hold CSL and LICS jointly beyond
2014.

We invite submissions on topics that fit the themes of both conferences. These
topics include (but are not limited to):

Automata theory; automated deduction; categorical models and logics;
constraints programming; constructive mathematics; database theory; decision
procedures; domain theory; finite model theory; formal languages; formal
methods in software engineering; foundations of computability; functional and
reactive synthesis; game semantics; graph games; higher-order logic; lambda
and combinatory calculi; linear logic; logic programming; logics for AI;
logics of programs; logical aspects of computational complexity; modal and
temporal logics; model checking; program analysis; proof theory; semantics of
programming languages; specification and verification of hardware, software,
and complex systems; term rewriting; and type theory.

Also welcome are papers describing models and logics for biological systems;
concurrent, distributed, and mobile computation; quantum computation;
security; and real-time, probabilistic, and hybrid systems.


INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

Important Dates
===============
Submissions deadline:	March 20th 2014.
Notification:		May 4th 2014.
Final version:		May 25th 2014.
Workshop:		July 17th-18th 2014.


Novelty of this edition
=======================
The 2014 edition of NSV will be published electronically by Elsevier
in the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science Serie (ENTCS).

In this new NSV edition, we encourage publications about the numerical
issues in new domains, in particular computational finance and
biological systems: problems, consequences and state-of-the-art
approaches.


Description of the Workshop
===========================
Numerical computations are ubiquitous in digital systems: supervision,
prediction, simulation and signal processing rely heavily on numerical
calculus to achieve desired goals. Verification of numerical
algorithms has a unique set of challenges, which set it apart from
the rest of software verification. To achieve the verification and
validation of global properties, numerical techniques need to
precisely represent local behaviors of each component. In fact, in
numerical algorithms, coarse abstractions are unlikely to succeed
essentially because of the above mentioned issue. The implementation
of numerical techniques on modern hardware adds another layer of
approximation: the use of finite representations of infinite
precision numbers usually lack basic arithmetic properties such
as commutativity and associativity. It is hence imperative to develop
logical and mathematical techniques that would allow reasoning about
programmability and reliability. The NSV workshop is dedicated to the
current development and the future prospects for such techniques.


Topics
===============
The scope of the workshop includes, but is not restricted to, the
following topics:
- Models and abstraction techniques
- Specifications of correctness for numerical programs
- Formal specification and verification of numerical programs
- Quality of finite precision implementations
- Propagation of uncertainties, deterministic and probabilistic models
- Numerical properties of control software
- Hybrid systems verification
- Validation for space, avionics, automotive and real-time applications
- Validation for scientific computing programs
- Optimality of program behavior
- Trade-offs between quality of service and resource (for example
  energy) consumption in programs
- Benchmarks and tools for numerical software verification
- Numerical issues in computational finance



Submission information
======================
We solicit regular and short papers.
Paper submission must be performed via the EasyChair system:

http://easychair.org/?conf=nsv14

Regular papers must describe original work, be written and presented
in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with refereed proceedings. Submitted papers will be judged
on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and
clarity. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and
why it is significant.

Regular paper submissions should not exceed 15 pages in ENTCS style,
including bibliography and well-marked appendices:
      http://www.entcs.org/prelim.html
Program committee members are not required to read the appendices, and
thus papers must be intelligible without them.

Short papers are also welcomed, they should present tools, benchmarks,
case-studies or be extended abstracts of ongoing research. Short
papers should not exceed 6 pages.

Regular papers will be published electronically by Elsevier in the
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science serie ENTCS), all
accepted (regular and short) papers will also be included in the
Vienna Summer of Logic USB-stick distributed to all participants to the VSL.

   programming languages, dynamical systems, term rewriting, etc.)
- Coalgebras in (functional, object-oriented, concurrent, and constraint)
   programming
- Model checking, theorem proving and deductive verification
   using coalgebraic techniques
- Coalgebraic data types, type systems and
   behavioural typing
- Proof principles and (coinductive) definitions for
   coalgebras (e.g. with bisimulations or invariants)
- Coalgebras and algebras
- Coalgebraic specification and verification
- Coalgebras and (modal) logic
- Coalgebra and control theory (notably of discrete event
   and hybrid systems)
- Coalgebra in quantum computing
-  Coalgebra and game theory
- Tools exploiting colgebraic techniques

[This is an informal announcement, with a formal call for applications 
possibly to follow in the future.]
I am seeking a postdoctoral research associate at the University of 
Athens, for a program generation/language design project, but also with 
significant leeway for other pursuits, as long as our interests align. 
The position is available immediately (initially for 1.5 years but with 
the possibility of longer-term funding). The gross salary is at slightly 
over 28Keuros/yr. Please visit http://www.di.uoa.gr/~smaragd/ 
<http://cgi.di.uoa.gr/%7Esmaragd/> for information on my research 
interests and latest work and contact me for details on the position, 
life in Greece (esp. as a non-Greek speaker), potential for non-EU 
citizens, and any other research or pragmatic questions you may have.

Thanks...
   Yannis.

CALL FOR AFFILIATED WORKSHOPS

Prospective workshop organizers are invited to submit proposals for
workshops to be affiliated to iFM 2014 and FACS 2014, on topics related
to the conferences main subjects.

iFM 2014 is concerned with how the application of formal methods may
involve modeling different aspects of a system which are best expressed
using different formalisms. Correspondingly, different analysis
techniques may be used to examine different system views, different
kinds of properties, or simply in order to cope with the sheer
complexity of the system. The iFM conference series seeks to
further research into hybrid approaches to formal modeling and
analysis; i.e., the combination of (formal and semi-formal) methods for
system development, regarding modeling and analysis, and covering all
aspects from language design through verification and analysis
techniques to tools and their integration into software engineering
practice.

FACS 2014 is concerned with how formal methods can be used to make
component-based development fit for the new architectures of today and
the systems that are now pervading the socio-economic world. Formal
methods have provided foundations for component-based software through
research on mathematical models for components, composition and
adaptation, and rigorous approaches to verification, deployment,
testing, and certification. Whilst those avenues still need to be
further explored, time is also ripe to bring new techniques to the
fore, such as those based on stochastic models and simulation.

The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a
friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and
discussing their application.

The workshops take place on Tuesday, Sept 9th and Friday, Sept 12th, 2014.

Proposals should include:

* The name and the preferred date of the proposed workshop (Sept. 9th or 12th). FACS affiliated workshops are expected to be held on the 9th and iFM affiliated workshop on the 12th.
* A short description of the workshop.
* If applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop, including dates, organizers, submission and acceptance counts, and attendance.
* The expected number of participants.
* The name and short CV of the organizer(s).
* The publication plan (only invited speakers, no published proceedings, pre-/post-proceedings published with EPTCS/ENTCS/...).

The iFM+FACS organization will provide registration and organizational support for the workshops (including link from the conferences web sites, setup of meeting space, on-line and on-site registration). Registration fees will be used to cover lunches, coffee breaks and organizational expenses and must be paid by all workshop participants (one free registration can be offered for an invited speaker).

The scientific responsibility of organizing a workshop goes to the workshop organizers, including:
* Workshop publicity (possibly including call for papers, submission and review process).
* Scheduling workshop activities in collaboration with the iFM+FACS workshop chair.

analysis, expressive operational semantics,  linear programming languages, and
techniques   for   program   transformation, update  analysis   and  efficient
implementation.

The aim of  this workshop is to bring  together researchers  who are currently
developing   theory   and applications  of linear   calculi,   to foster their
interaction and provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress,
and enable    newcomers  to learn  about  current   activities  in  this area.
Linearity is a key  feature in  both  theoretical and practical  approaches to
computer science, and the goal  of this workshop is  to present work exploring
linearity both in theory and practice.

Topics of interest  include new  results that  make central  use of linearity,
ranging  from foundational work to  applications  in any  field, are  welcome.
Also welcome  are  more exploratory  presentations,  which  may   examine open
questions   and  raise  fundamental  concerns   about  existing  theories  and
practices.  Specifically, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * sub-linear logics
  * linear term calculi
  * linear type systems
  * linear proof-theory
  * linear programming languages
  * applications to concurrency
  * interaction-based systems
  * verification of linear systems
  * quantum models of computation
  * biological and chemical models of computation


Important Dates
---------------
  * April 13, 2014: Submission deadline
  * May   10, 2014: Author notification
  * May   28, 2014: Deadline for final versions of accepted papers
  * July  13, 2014: Workshop 


Submission and Publication

CALL FOR PAPERS

Interest in the fundamental problem of the combination of formal notations and theories of programming has grown consistently in recent years.  The theories define, in various different ways, many common notions, such as abstraction, refinement, choice, termination, feasibility, locality, concurrency and communication.  Despite these differences, such theories may be unified in a way which greatly facilitates their study and comparison.  Moreover, such a unification offers a means of combining different languages describing various facets and artifacts of software development in a seamless, logically consistent way.

Hoare and He's Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) is widely acknowledged as one of the most significant such unification approaches. Based on their pioneering work, the aims of the UTP Symposium series are to reaffirm the significance of the ongoing UTP project and to stimulate efforts to advance. The Symposium provides a focus for the sharing of results by those already actively contributing, and raises awareness of the benefits of such unifying theoretical frameworks among the wider computer science and software engineering communities.

To this end the Symposium welcomes contributions on all the themes that can be related to the Unifying Theories of Programming.

SUBMISSIONS

Papers may be up to 20 pages in length and should be prepared using LaTeX in Springer LNCS paper format.  Submissions should be made through the UTP 2014 EasyChair site; instructions are at http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~pat/UTP2014

The Thirtieth Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of
Programming Semantics will take place on the campus of the
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY USA from June 12 through June 15, 2014.
MFPS conferences are devoted to those areas of mathematics, logic,
and computer science that are related to models of computation, in
general, and to the semantics of programming languages, in
particular. The series has particularly stressed providing a forum
where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and
exchange ideas about problems of common interest. As the series also
strives to maintain breadth in its scope, the conference strongly
encourages participation by researchers in neighboring areas.

TOPICS include, but are not limited to, the following: biocomputation;
concurrent qualitative and quantitative distributed systems; process
calculi; probabilistic systems; constructive mathematics; domain
theory and categorical models; formal languages; formal methods; game
semantics; lambda calculus; programming-language theory; quantum
computation; security; topological models; logic; type systems; type
theory. We also welcome contributions that address applications of
semantics to novel areas such as complex systems, markets, and
networks, for example.

AIM:

SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see  http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/

SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.

SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 5
keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific

MOTIVATION

The increasing amount of energy consumption in today's IT solutions
significantly contributes to green house gas emissions. "Green Computing" or
"Green IT" emphasizes the need for reducing the environmental impacts of IT
solutions by reducing their energy consumption and, consequently, their green
house gas emissions. Among others, green computing can be achieved in software
and by software. While greening by software aims at saving energy (or other
resources) by the help of software, greening in software aims at reducing the
environmental impact caused by the software itself. The GIBSE workshop aims to
bring together academic and industrial researchers to share their experience
in achieving the green-ness in and by software.


WORKSHOP FORMAT

The workshop participants will be selected based on their experience and ideas
related to this new and emerging field. You are invited to apply for
attendance by sending a full-paper (5 pages), work-in-progress paper (3 pages),
tool demonstration paper (3 pages) or a position paper (3 pages) in PDF. 
The paper must conform to the ACM SIGPLAN formatting guidelines:
http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm.
Submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 PC members. The authors will be
notified about acceptance before the AOSD 2014 early registration deadline. A
primary deliverable of the workshop is a report that clearly outlines (1) the
research issues and challenges in terms of specific research problems in the
area, and (2) a synopsis of existing solutions that target some well-defined
aspect of greenness in or by software. Potential attendees are strongly
encouraged to submit position papers that clearly identify research issues and
challenges, present techniques that address well-defined problems in the area,
and are supported by small demos.


GOALS

With this workshop, we intend to raise the interest in the topic and bring
together junior and senior researchers working in this field. It is our
intention to receive submissions from researchers new to the field as well as
experienced researchers and practitioners. For the former, we want to offer a
platform for discussing their ideas and receiving feedback on them. This will
be supported by question and answer sessions as well as by group discussions.
The planned workshop agenda interleaves presentations of accepted papers,
lightning talks about green computing by participants without accepted papers,
and discussions. To stimulate participants we intend to invite at least one
expert in the field for a keynote talk.

 
TOPICS OF INTEREST

The topics of interest include, but not limited to:
- Green-ness in software engineering:
  - Methods and techniques to elicit and model green-ness requirements
  - Methods and techniques to identify and analyze the trade-offs among the
    green-ness requirements themselves and other quality attributes
  - Methods and techniques to model and analyze the green-ness attributes of
    software architecture and their trade-offs
  - Dedicated programming infrastructures, component models, compilers, and
    linguistic constructs to achieve green-ness in the implementations
  - Methods and techniques to represent green-ness requirements in test
    scenarios
  - Method and techniques to test the green-ness of software
  - Crosscutting nature of green-ness attributes and the aspect-oriented
    techniques to cope with it

- Green-ness by software engineering:
  - Design of self-energy-adaptive system architectures
  - Estimating and measuring the energy-consumption of system at design and
    runtime
  - Design and run-time energy models for self-energy-adaptive system
  - Multi-objective optimization of energy and other quality attributes

Message-ID: <BDEFD397B0F1C4499B0C9E42A876A51D454320D0@usimbox02.usilu.net>

*** CALL FOR PAPERS - FOAL: Foundations of Aspect-Oriented Languages ***
                *** Papers are due January 26, 2014 ***

A one day workshop affiliated with MODULARITY?14 at the University of
Lugano (USI), Switzerland on April 22, 2014.


=== THEMES AND GOALS ===

FOAL is a forum for research in foundations of aspect-oriented and other
advanced separation of concern mechanisms. Areas of interest include but
are not limited to:

* Semantics of advanced separation of concern mechanisms,
* Specification and verification for languages with such mechanisms
* Type systems,
* Static analysis,
* Theory of testing,
* Theory of composition,
* Theory of translation (compilation) and rewriting,
* Comparison of different advanced modularization and separation of
  concern mechanisms.

The workshop aims to foster work in foundations, including formal
studies, promote the exchange of ideas, and encourage workers in the
semantics and formal methods communities to consider advanced separation
of concern mechanisms. All theoretical and foundational studies of this
topic are welcome. Even though the workshop title contains the term
?aspect-oriented?, the workshop is not limited to aspect-oriented
programming languages, but welcomes topics on other advanced separation
of concern mechanisms such as feature-oriented or context-oriented
programming.

The goals of FOAL are to:

* Make progress on the foundations of aspect-oriented and other advanced
  separation of concern mechanisms.
* Exchange ideas about semantics and formal methods for aspect-oriented
  and other languages with advanced separation of concerns.
* Foster interest within the programming language theory and types
  communities in languages with advanced separation of concerns.
* Foster interest within the formal methods community in aspect-oriented
  programming and other advanced separation of concern mechanisms, and
  the problems of reasoning about them.


=== WORKSHOP FORMAT ===

The planned workshop format is primarily presentation of papers and
group discussion. Talks will come in two categories: regular (25 minutes
plus 5 minutes of discussion) and short (7 minutes plus 3 minutes of
discussion). The short talks will allow for presentations of topics for
which results are not yet available, perhaps for researchers who are
seeking feedback on ideas or seek collaborations.

We also plan to ensure sufficient time for discussion of each
presentation by limiting the overall number of talks.


=== SUBMISSIONS ===

Invitation to the workshop will be based on papers selected by the
program committee; those wishing to attend but not having a paper to
submit should contact the organizers directly to see if there is
sufficient space in the workshop.

FOAL solicits regular and short papers on all areas of formal
foundations of advanced separation of concern mechanisms. Submissions
will be read by the program committee and designated reviewers. Papers
will be selected for regular and short presentation at the workshop
based on their length, scientific merit, innovation, readability, and
relevance. Papers previously published or already being reviewed by
another conference are not eligible. Some papers may not be selected
for presentation, and some may be selected for presentation in shorter
talks than their paper length would otherwise command. We will limit the
length of paper presentations and the number of papers presented to make
sure that there is enough time for discussion.

Additional information is available online:

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

ESSoS Doctoral Symposium

February 26, 2014, Munich

 

 

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline: January 13, 2014 January 20, 2014

Notification of Acceptance: January 28, 2014

Camera Ready Version: February 12, 2014

 

 

The ESSoS Doctoral Symposium 2014 will be held in Munich, Germany on
Wednesday, February 26, 2014 in conjunction with the ESSoS 2014 Symposium. 

 

Following the aim of the past ESSoS-DS edition, the scope of the current
event will be focused on providing PhD students an opportunity to discuss
their research in Engineering Secure Software and Systems (ESSoS) in an
international forum, and with a panel of well-known experts in the field.

NEW in this year's Symposium is the fact that we aim to bring together a
broad range of students: PhD students at the start of their trajectory,
students who are about to finish (What are the pitfalls in the final
stages?) and students in the middle (aiming for the first top-level
publication).

Students will have the occasion to discuss, in a welcoming and informal
atmosphere, the goals already achieved or planned, the research challenges
they are interested in, the projects they are working on, the facilities
they are developing, the problems they want to solve and are solving in
their doctoral work.

 

During the Doctoral Symposium students will receive useful feedback from
senior researchers, industrial partners and experts. It will also be a good
opportunity for meeting and sharing experiences with other PhD students that
are addressing similar topics, or are at a similar stage in their doctoral
work. This way, the students will obtain guidance both on the academic
content of their current work and on potential future research trajectories.
PhD students carrying out research in Engineering Secure Software and
Systems are invited to submit a position paper to the PhD Symposium.

Short papers will be peer-reviewed by the Symposium's program committee
members. The criteria used for accepting a paper include contribution of the
work to the ESSoS field, originality of the work, and overall quality of the
position paper.

 

 

TOPICS

 

PhD proposals fitting into the ESSoS conference topics are especially
encouraged. This includes a diversity of topics, such as (but not limited
to): 

- scalable techniques for threat modeling and analysis of vulnerabilities

- specification and management of security requirements and policies

- security architecture and design for software and systems

- model checking for security

- specification formalisms for security artifacts

- verification techniques for security properties

- systematic support for security best practices

- security testing

- security assurance cases

- programming paradigms, models and DSLs for security

- program rewriting techniques

- processes for the development of secure software and systems

- security oriented software reconfiguration and evolution

- security measurement

- automated development

- trade-off between security and other non-functional requirements

- support for assurance, certification and accreditation 

 

Accepted position papers will be presented during the ESSoS 2014 Doctoral
Symposium and will be published on the ESSoS website. Presenters of the
doctoral Symposium will get an opportunity to present their work in poster
format during the main program of ESSoS 2014. The organizers of the doctoral
symposium intend to publish post-proceedings of the Doctoral Symposium -
details will follow.

====================================================

UNIF 2014 is the 28th event in a series of international meetings 
devoted to
unification theory and its applications. Unification is concerned with the
problem of identifying terms, finding solutions for equations, or making
formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number of fields
of computer science, including automated reasoning, term rewriting, logic
programming, natural language processing, program analysis, types, etc.

The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for
researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new
colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new 
ideas
and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and 
scientists
working in related areas to get an overview of the current state of the 
art in
unification theory.


Topics

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WORKSHOP ORGANISATION DETAILS

In order to make SEFM workshops appealing for participants, we plan to
keep the fares as low as possible. Precise figures have not been
decided yet, but we estimate that the workshop fee will be about 80
euros per day, with a full fee of around 500 euros for the whole week
(SEFM conference + workshops).

We also understand that having a good proceedings publication will 
attract submissions. For that, we plan to organize a joint LNCS 
proceedings volume. Nevertheless, if you have your own agreements 
for proceedings or special issue publication, you can maintain them. 

All accepted workshops would be asked to produce a Webpage and a call 
for papers. Both workshop organizers and participants will be required 
to register through the SEFM 2014 registration Webpage and attend their 
workshop.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Fourth Halmstad Summer School on Testing (HSST
	2014): Call for Participation
Message-ID: <CANNPCKZcdhEb6koVQAKW9E4oWgk3PnJVS12KoHgcbsdg+jcKVQ@mail.gmail.com>

===========================================

The Fourth Halmstad Summer School on Testing

Halmstad University, Sweden

June 9 - June 12, 2014

http://ceres.hh.se/mediawiki/index.php/HSST_2014

===========================================


Scope
========

Software testing accounts for a major part of software development cost and
effort, yet the current practice of software testing is often
insufficiently structured and disciplined. There have been various attempts
in the past decades to bring more rigour and structure into this field,
resulting in several industrial-strength processes, techniques and tools
for different levels of testing. The 4th Halmstad Summer School on Testing
provides an overview of the state of the art in testing, including theory,
industrial cases, tools and hands-on tutorials by internationally-renowned
researchers.

Tutorials
========

Automated Test Generation via Satisfiability Modulo Theory Solvers (Thomas
Ball, Microsoft Research)

Model-Based Testing, the Difference between Theory and Practice (Machiel
van der Bijl, Axini BV)

Improved Testing of Multithreaded Programs with Dynamic Symbolic Execution
(Keijo Heljanko, Aalto University)

Property-based testing with QuickCheck  (John Hughes, QuviQ and Chalmers)

Testing and Verifying Software Properties with ACL2 and ProofPad (Rex Page,
University of Oklahoma)

Practical Model-Based Testing With Papyrus and RT-Tester (Jan Peleska,
Verified International GMBH and Bremen University)

Model-Based Testing - There is Nothing More Practical than a Good Theory
(Jan Tretmans, Radboud University Nijmegen and TNO - ESI)



Registration
==========


The registration deadline is April 15, 2014.

To apply to the summer school, please send an email to
Veronica.Gaspes at hh.se with
"Halmstad Summer School on Testing" in the title. If you have any dietary
requirements, or would like to attend only certain days of the summer
school, please specify in your email text.


The registration fee is 2000 SEK (approx. 225 EUR, ) and covers lunches,
coffee breaks, the social event, and the study material but does *not* include
the social dinner.

A ticket to the social dinner costs 500 SEK and can be requested upon
registration (please indicate in your email). After sending the
registration email, you will receive a confirmation. Please proceed to
payment after you receive the confirmation email through the summer school
web site.


Venue
======

The summer school will be held on the campus of Halmstad University  in
Halmstad, Sweden.
Halmstad is a popular summer destination located on the Swedish west coast.
Just a few minutes by bicycle or bus takes you from campus to city centre,
sandy beaches or forested Galgberget Hill.
Trains take you directly to G?teborg in 75 minutes, to the Malm?-Copenhagen
area in about 2 hours and to Stockholm in 4.5 hours.
There are also daily flights from Halmstad Airport to Stockholm.

If you are flying in internationally it is generally easiest to fly into
Copenhagen (CPH) airport (also known as Kastrup).
The best thing about flying into CPH is that you just buy a train ticket
when you arrive at the airport and simply take a train from the airport
directly to Halmstad.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] RA position in automated verification,
 logic and theorem proving at UCL
Message-ID: <52D56274.1010104@cs.ucl.ac.uk>

*Research Associate positions in Automated Verification, Logic and 
Theorem Proving
*

*Dept. of Computer Science, University College London, UK

*

The UCL Dept. of Computer Science invites applications for a 
postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the EPSRC-funded project 
"Boosting Automated Verification using Cyclic Proof".

Automatic verification tools based on separation logic have recently 
enabled the verification of code bases that scale into the millions of 
lines. Such analyses rely heavily on the use of inductive predicates to 
describe data structures held in memory.  However, these predicates must 
currently be hard-coded into the analysis, which means the analysis must 
fail when encountering a data structure not described by a hard-coded 
predicate. This project is about using *cyclic proof*, a relatively new 
technique in inductive theorem proving, to add general inductive 
reasoning capability to the various components of interprocedural 
program analysis and thereby, hopefully, to extend the reach of current 
verification methods.

The project will be run under the supervision of Dr. James Brotherston 
and Prof. Byron Cook, in the Programming Principles, Logic and 
Verification (PPLV) group at UCL. Other permanent PPLV members include 
Prof. David Pym, Dr. Jade Alglave and Dr. Juan Navarro Perez.  See 
pplv.cs.ucl.ac.uk for details.

The Research Associate post is funded full-time for 3 years, and is 
available immediately.

Applicants must hold, or be about to hold, a PhD in computer science or 
a closely related field, and should have a strong background in 
verification, automated reasoning, or program logics, as evidenced by 
their work history and/or publication record. Expertise in inductive 
theorem proving, separation logic and/or program analysis techniques is 
particularly welcome, and prior experience in OcaML programming would 
also be beneficial.


The application closing date is *14 Feb 2014*, with interviews expected 
to be held in the period 25-28 February.


Further information on the position, including salary information and 
how to apply, may be found at: http://tinyurl.com/naqk5ze

CSF 2014 Call for Papers and Panels
27th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium

http://csf2014.di.univr.it/
July 19 - 22, 2014
Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien)
part of FLoC 2014 - Federated Logic Conference
part of VSL 2014 - Vienna Summer of Logic - http://vsl2014.at/

*****************************************************

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium is an annual conference
for researchers in computer security. CSF seeks papers on foundational
aspects of computer security, e.g., formal security models,
relationships between security properties and defenses, principled
techniques and tools for design and analysis of security mechanisms, as
well as their application to practice. While CSF welcomes submissions
beyond the topics listed below, the main focus of CSF is foundational
security: submissions that lack foundational aspects risk rejection.

Topics
------
New results in computer security are welcome. Possible topics include,
but are not limited to: access control, accountability, anonymity,
authentication, critical infrastructure security, cryptography, data
and system integrity, database security, decidability and complexity,
distributed systems, electronic voting, executable content, formal
methods and verification, game theory and decision theory, hardware-
based security, humans and computer security, information flow,
intrusion detection, language-based security, network security, novel
insights on attacks, privacy, provenance, resource usage control,
security for mobile computing, security models, security protocols,
software security, socio-technical security, trust management, usable
security, web security.

Special Sessions (NEW)
----------------------
We strongly encourage papers in three foundational areas of research
not traditionally represented at CSF:

 AI & SECURITY. (Chairs: Ariel Procaccia & Benjamin Rubinstein.)
 In recent years, a number of communities overlapping with AI---
 notably algorithmic economics and machine learning---have made
 significant forays into security & privacy. This session aims to
 collect theoretical viewpoints on security & privacy, particularly
 from researchers across diverse communities such as those
 identifying with AAAI/IJCAI, AAMAS, EC, WEIS, ICML, NIPS, COLT,
 STOC/FOCS, S&P, and CCS (including the AISEC workshop). Papers in
 the following areas intersecting with information security are
 highly encouraged to submit to this special session: Economics: Game
 theory, mechanism design, market design, social choice; Learning:
 Online learning, robust statistics, adversarial machine learning,
 privacy-preserving technologies such as differential privacy.

 PRIVACY. (Chair: Vitaly Shmatikov.) CSF 2014 will include a special
 session on privacy foundations and invites submissions on
 definitions, models, and frameworks for communication and data
 privacy, principled analysis of deployed or proposed privacy
 protection mechanisms, and foundational aspects of practical privacy
 technologies. Submissions investigating connections between privacy
 law and policy and computer science are especially encouraged.

 USABLE SECURITY. (Chair: Lujo Bauer.) It has become accepted that
 any user-facing security technology or mechanism is unlikely to be
 secure if it is not usable.  Hence, understanding, measuring, and
 designing for usability are foundational aspects of building secure
 systems.  CSF 2014 encourages submission of papers that describe new
 results, quantitative or qualitative, in usability as it pertains to
 security and privacy.  Particularly encouraged are papers that focus
 on foundational aspects of usability, as well as those whose results
 generalize beyond a specific environment or system.

These papers will be reviewed under the supervision of expert invited
session chairs. They will be presented at the conference, and will
appear in the CSF proceedings without any distinction from the other
papers.

Challenges and Vision Papers
----------------------------
We particularly encourage challenge/vision papers, which may describe
open questions and raise fundamental concerns about practical
security. Challenges and/or vision papers should typically identify a
real world security problem, argue why it raises foundational issues,
explain why the currently available and relevant techniques are
inadequate for addressing it, and identify foundational challenges
that have to be addressed to solve the problem.  These papers will be
presented at the conference, and will appear in the CSF proceedings
without any distinction from the other papers.


Proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, will be
available at the symposium, and selected papers will be invited for
submission to the Journal of Computer Security.

*****************************************************
PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with published proceedings. Failure to clearly identify any
duplication or overlap with other published or submitted papers is
ground for rejection without full review.

Papers should be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers
submitted in a proprietary format such as Microsoft Word cannot be
considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required
to attend CSF to present the paper.

Papers must be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style
available for various document preparation systems at the IEEE
Conference Publishing Services page. Papers must not be anonymized.
Authors should use appropriate keywords from "AI & Security", "Usable
Security", "Privacy" and "Challenge/Vision" to indicate that the paper
is meant for a special session. All papers should be at most 12 pages
long, not counting bibliography and well-marked appendices.

Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the
paper must be intelligible without them. Papers not adhering to the
page limits will be rejected without consideration of their merits.

Papers should be submitted using the CSF 2014 submission site.
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csf2014

*****************************************************
PANEL PROPOSALS

Proposals for panels are welcome. They should be no more than three
pages in length, and should include the names of possible panelists
and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed a desire
to participate. They should be submitted by email to the program
chairs.

SCOPE

Software Language Engineering (SLE) is the application of systematic, disciplined, and measurable approaches to the development, use, deployment, and maintenance of software languages. The term "software language" is used broadly, and includes: general-purpose programming languages; domain-specific languages (e.g. BPMN, Simulink, Modelica); modeling and metamodeling languages (e.g. SysML and UML); data models and ontologies (e.g. XML-based and OWL-based languages and vocabularies).

---------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST

The overall principle of SLE is to be broad-minded and inclusive about relevance and scope. We solicit high-quality contributions in areas ranging from theoretical and conceptual contributions to tools, techniques, and frameworks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Tools and methods for software language design and extension (incl. meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches)

- Generative approaches, transformation and transformation languages, code generation

- Techniques for analysing software language descriptions

- Techniques for software language reuse, evolution and managing variation (syntactic/semantic) within language families

- Integration and coordination of software languages and tools

- Engineering Domain-Specific Languages (for modeling, simulating, generation, description, checking)

- Novel applications and/or empirical studies on any aspect of SLE (development, use, deployment, and maintenance of software languages)

- Cross-fertilization of different technological spaces (e.g. modelware, grammarware, etc)

---------------------------------------------------------
TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS 

- Research papers: These should report a substantial research contribution to SLE or successful application of SLE techniques or both. Full paper submissions must not exceed 20 pages (in LNCS format).

- Tool papers: Because of SLE's ample interest in tools, we seek papers that present software tools related to the field of SLE. Selection criteria include originality of the tool, its innovative aspects, and relevance to SLE. Tool papers should include an appendix outlining the proposed demonstration, including screenshots etc. A short video may be linked as well. Tool paper submissions must not exceed 10 pages (in LNCS Format).

- Industrial position papers: These papers discuss practical applications of SLE technology with an emphasis on the advantages and disadvantages of the method, techniques, or tools used. Industry paper submissions must not exceed 10 pages (in LNCS Format).

- Bridging position papers: These papers discuss bridging ideas from the different areas of SLE (e.g. modelling, PL, grammars, etc). This includes both foundational ideas and/or practical techniques. Bridging position papers must not 4 pages (in LNCS Format).

All papers have to be submitted electronically in PDF format via Easychair: 

   https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sle2014

Papers should follow the LNCS format: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently be submitted for publication elsewhere. The program chairs will apply the principles of the ACM Plagiarism Policy throughout the submission and review process.

---------------------------------------------------------
PUBLICATIONS

All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Authors will be given a brief opportunity for a reply to the reviews. The replies will be considered in the PC's discussions, and considered in the selection of the best reviewer. All accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (www.springer.com/lncs). All papers must be formatted according to the Springer?s Lecture Notes in Computer Science style.

Authors of best papers from the conference will be invited to revise and submit extended versions of their papers for a special issue of the Journal on Science of Computer Programming.

          CALL FOR PAPERS FOR

???The Third International Workshop on
?????STRUCTURES AND DEDUCTION (SD14)

???????http://vsl2014.at/sd/

????????July 12-13, 2014

????Affiliated with CSL-LICS 2014
??Part of the Vienna Summer of Logic


Overview
========

This is the third in a series of meetings that bring together
researchers in different areas of proof theory. The main interest is
in new algebraic and geometric results in proof theory that expand our
abilities to manipulate proofs, that help to reduce bureaucracy in
deductive systems, and that ultimately lead to new methods for proof
search and new kinds of proof certificates.

Topics of the workshop include

- syntactic presentations of proofs, like sequent calculi and deep
?inference systems, in their focused and non-focused variants;

- combinatorial presentations of proofs, such as proof nets;

- algebraic presentations of proofs, for example via game semantics or
?category theory;

- methods for proof manipulation and normal forms for proofs;

- methods for incorporating computation and rewriting in proof search,
?such as deduction modulo or fixpoint definitions.

Since the past two meetings, held in 2005 in Lisbon and in 2009 in
Bordeaux, there has been a tremendous amount of progress in the the
theoretical foundations of the topics mentioned above.

The time is ripe for moving towards implementations of these ideas in
terms of new interactive and automated reasoning tools and
modifications to existing tools. Thus, we encourage contributions not
only of regular papers, but also of system descriptions, work in
progress, and programmatic/position papers.

********************************************************************************
	  1st International Workshop about Sets and Tools (SETS 2014)

********************************************************************************

AIM

Sets and constructs built upon them like relations, functions, sequences are
the main modeling ingredients of formalisms such as VDM, Z, B, or Event-B.
Sets also occur in the formalization of mathematics, as evidenced by the large
library of the Mizar proof system for example. In addition, still in the
domain of theorem proving, there is an increasing interest to automate set
theory (which is known to be a difficult problem), with some concrete
realizations, such as mp (the "main prover" of Atelier B) or Muscadet (an
automated theorem prover for natural deduction, which gives some good
performances in set theory). Sets are also the main features of some
programming languages like the former SetL language or the more recent {log}
language (pronounced as setlog).

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers interested in set theory,
especially to design tools for dealing with set theory, such as interactive or
automated theorem provers, proof checkers, theories for general purpose proof
tools, constraint solvers, programming languages etc. These tools may be
dedicated or general purpose tools. Contributions by theoreticians working on
set theories or fragments of set theories in the aim of designing concrete
tools, and by practitioners using set-based tools are both welcome. We are
also interested by contributions providing some comparisons between set
modeling techniques and other formalisms, such as type theory (and variants)
for instance. Finally, regarding the domains of application, we mainly expect
contributions in the framework of formal methods, but not exhaustively, and
contributions reporting formalizations of mathematics using set theory for
example could be of interest for this workshop as well.

TOPICS

Topics of interest for this workshop include all aspects of set theory and
corresponding tools. More specifically, some suggested topics are:

 * Proof tools for sets
 * Constraint solvers for sets
 * Set-based programming languages
 * Automated deduction in set theory
 * Set theories for SMT solvers
 * Encoding of sets in provers
 * Use of set-based tools in formal methods
 * Use of set-based tools in mathematics
 * Comparison of set-based tools
 * Comparison between set and type theories
 * Experience reports

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

Submitted papers must be 6-15 pages in length, following the Springer LNCS
format. These submissions may be:

 * Research papers providing new concepts and results
 * Position papers and research perspectives
 * Experience reports
 * Tool presentations

Proceedings, including all the papers selected for the workshop, will be
available electronically at the workshop. No copyright transfer agreement will
be required from the authors. For this first edition of this workshop, we
would like to put the emphasis on discussions rather than on conventional
publications.

  TERMGRAPH 2014: FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

  8th International Workshop on Computing with Terms and Graphs
  (affiliated with RTA-TLCA as part of FLoC)

  July 13, 2014, Vienna

  http://cl-informatik.uibk.ac.at/events/termgraph-2014/

*************************************************************************

submission:      April 16, 2014
notification:    May 16,   2014
final version:   May 28,   2014
workshop:        July 13,  2014

*************************************************************************

Research in term and graph rewriting ranges from theoretical questions
to practical issues. Computing with graphs handles the sharing of common
subexpressions in a natural and seamless way, and improves the efficiency
of computations in space and time. Sharing is ubiquitous in several
research areas, for instance: the modelling of first- and higher-order
term rewriting by (acyclic or cyclic) graph rewriting, the modelling of
biological or chemical abstract machines, the implementation techniques
of programming languages: many implementations of functional, logic,
object-oriented, concurrent and mobile calculi are based on term graphs.
Term graphs are also used in automated theorem proving and symbolic
computation systems working on shared structures. The aim of this workshop
is to bring together researchers working in different domains on term and
graph transformation and to foster their interaction, to provide a forum
for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers
to learn about current activities in term graph rewriting.

Previous editions of the workshop took place in Barcelona (2002), Rome
(2004), Vienna (2006), Braga (2007), York (2009), Saarbruecken (2011), and
Rome (2013). This year TERMGRAPH is affiliated with the joint RTA and TLCA
conference, which is part of FLoC, which in turn participates in the
Vienna Summer of Logic 2014.


*** Topics of interest ***

Topics of interest include all aspects of term graphs and sharing of
common subexpressions in rewriting, programming, automated reasoning
and symbolic computation. This includes (but is not limited to):
- graph transformation
- graph-based implementations of lambda-calculus
- representation of concurrent systems
- models of computation
- graph-based languages
- semantics and implementation of programming languages
- compiler construction
- interaction nets and proof nets
- pattern recognition
- bioinformatics
- system descriptions


*** Submission ***

There are two categories of submissions:

(1) Extended abstracts describing new results, work in progress, or
   problems.
(2) Short versions of articles recently published or submitted elsewhere.
   Papers in this category are not considered for the post-workshop
   proceedings.

The page limit for submissions in both categories is 5 pages in EPTCS
style. Submissions should be marked with the category (either 1 or 2) and
submitted electronically in PDF via the EasyChair submission site:

   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=TERMGRAPH2014

Papers will be judged on relevance, originality, correctness, and
usefulness.

The proceedings of TERMGRAPH 2014 will be included on the FLoC USB flash
drive. Post-workshop proceedings of full versions of selected (category 1)
contributions will be published as a volume of EPTCS.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoc position in Nominal Structural Operational
 Semantics (Reykjavik University)
Message-ID: <CA+Hgy6HhbYHuvcYQW+F3mJvQXxbj-d7N9ba_TO-dzbWvi_xwoQ@mail.gmail.com>

*Nominal Structural Operational Semantics*

*School of Computer Science, Reykjavik University*

*One postdoctoral position*


Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position at the School of
Computer Science, Reykjavik University.  The position is part of a research
project funded by the Icelandic Research Fund, under the direction of Luca
Aceto and Anna Ingolfsdottir. The general aim of the project is to bring
the framework of Nominal Structural Operational Semantics, proposed by
Cimini, Mousavi, Reniers and Gabbay, to a level of maturity that is
comparable to that of the standard theory of Structural Operational
Semantics. More specifically, the main general goals of the research
project are

   - to provide further evidence that Nominal SOS is expressive enough to
   capture the original semantics of nominal calculi, such as value-passing
   CCS, variants of the (higher-order) pi-calculus, the spi-calculus, the
   psi-calculi and the object calculi, and to prove formally the
   correspondence between the presentation in terms of Nominal SOS and the
   original ones;
   - to develop the meta-theory of Nominal SOS and to extend a wealth of
   classic SOS meta-results and techniques to the framework of Nominal SOS; and
   - to provide tool support for Nominal SOS.

See

http://www.ru.is/~luca/PROJECTS/NOSOS/nominal-sos-rannis-2014.pdf

for details on the project.

The successful candidates will benefit from, and contribute to, the
research environment at the Icelandic Centre of Excellence in Theoretical
Computer Science (ICE-TCS). For information about ICE-TCS and its
activities, see

http://www.icetcs.ru.is/.

*Qualification requirements*

Applicants for the postdoctoral position should have, or be about to hold,
a PhD degree in Computer Science or closely related fields. Previous
knowledge of at least one of concurrency theory, process calculi,
(structural) operational semantics and logic in computer science is highly
desirable.

*Remuneration*

The wage is 400,000 ISK (roughly 2,550 EURO at the present exchange rate) per
month before taxes. The position is for two years, starting on August 1,
2014 (earlier starting dates are possible), and is renewable for another
year, based on good performance and mutual satisfaction.

*Application details*

Interested applicants should send their CV, including a list of
publications, in PDF to both addresses below, together with a statement
outlining their suitability for the project and the names of at least two
referees.

============================================================

The 16th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods (ICFEM
2014) will be held at the Melia Hotel in Luxembourg, Luxembourg from
3rd November to 7 November 2014. Since 1997, ICFEM has been serving as
an international forum for researchers and practitioners who have been
seriously applying formal methods to practical applications.

Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and
government, are encouraged to attend, present their research, and help
advance the state of the art. We are interested in work that has been
incorporated into real production systems, and in theoretical work
that promises to bring practical and tangible benefit.

ICFEM 2014 is organised and sponsored by The University of Luxembourg.
The city of Luxembourg itself is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, on
account of the historical importance of its fortifications. Luxembourg
was the first city to be named European Capital of Culture twice.


SCOPE AND TOPICS
----------------------------------------
Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged,
but any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and their
practical applications will also be considered.

+ Abstraction and refinement
+ Formal specification and modelling
+ Program analysis
+ Software verification
+ Software model checking
+ Formal approaches to software testing
+ Formal methods for self-adaptive systems
+ Formal methods for object and component systems
+ Formal methods for concurrent and real-time systems
+ Formal methods for cloud computing and cyber-physical systems
+ Formal methods for software safety, security, reliability and dependability
+ Tool development, integration and experiments involving verified systems
+ Formal methods used in certifying products under international standards
+ Formal model-based development and code generation

This year, ICFEM will have special tracks on application of formal
methods in three areas:
+ Computer Security
+ Biology
+ Healthcare

Submissions in these topics are especially encouraged. Papers in these
areas will be subject to the same rigorous review process as other
papers. Accepted special track papers will be organised into special
sessions.


SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
----------------------------------------
Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be
concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions
will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field,
technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the

Complex computer systems are common in many sectors, such as
manufacturing, communications, defense, transportation, aerospace,
hazardous environments, energy, and health care. These systems are
frequently distributed over heterogeneous networks, and are driven by
many diverse requirements on performance, real-time behavior, fault
tolerance, security, adaptability, development time and cost, long
life concerns, and other areas. Such requirements frequently conflict,
and their satisfaction therefore requires managing the trade-off among
them during system development and throughout the entire system
life. The goal of this conference is to bring together industrial,
academic, and government experts, from a variety of user domains and
software disciplines, to determine how the disciplines' problems and
solution techniques interact within the whole system. Researchers,
practitioners, tool developers and users, and technology transition
experts are all welcome. The scope of interest includes long-term
research issues, near-term complex system requirements and promising
tools, existing complex systems, and commercially available tools.
SCOPE AND TOPICS
---------------------------
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished research
results, case studies and toolsed research results, case studies and tools.
Papers are solicited in all areas related to complex computer-based systems,
including the causes of complexity and means of avoiding, controlling, or
coping with complexity. Topic areas include, but are not limited to:
* Requirement specification and analysis
* Verification and validation
* Security and privacy of complex systems
* Model-driven development
* Reverse engineering and refactoring
* Architecture software
* Big Data Management
* Ambient intelligence, pervasive computing
* Ubiquitous computing, context awareness, sensor networks
* Design by contract
* Agile methods
* Safety-critical & fault-tolerant architectures
* Adaptive, self-managing and multi-agent systems
* Real-time, hybrid and embedded systems
* Systems of systems
* Tools and tool integration
* Industrial case studies
SUBMISSION
---------------------------
Different kinds of contributions are sought, including novel research, lessons
learned, experience reports, and discussions of practical problems faced by
industry and user domains. The ultimate goal is to build a rich and
comprehensive conference program that can fit the interests and needs of
different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, and
students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both
academic and industrial papers on a given topic and culminate panels to discuss
relationships between industrial and academic research. Papers are divided into
two categories:
* Technical Papers and
* Experience Reports.
The papers submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program committee
members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in the
conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original research, and
industrial experience reports should describe practical projects carried out in
industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them.
FULL PAPERS
Full papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and Experience
Reports. The papers submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program
committee members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in
the conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original research,
and experience reports should present practical projects carried out in
industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them.
POSTER PAPERS
Poster paper submissions should specify in their abstract whether they describe
ongoing or PhD research. Both types of poster papers will be reviewed by program
committee members, and accepted posters will be published in the conference
proceedings.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the
Conference Publishing Services (CPS) Proceedings Format. Papers should not
exceed 10 pages for full papers and 2 pages for poster papers, including
figures, references, and appendices. All submissions should be in PDF format.
Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be rejected
immediately, without review.
All submissions should be made through the Easychair Website:

	     Reconciling Performance with Predictability

	       Grenoble, France, Sunday April 6th, 2014

		    An ETAPS 2014 satellite event
				

Workshop description
====================

The RePP workshop targets embedded systems with both efficiency
requirements and critical temporal constraints, occurring in many
industrial domains: avionics, automotive, railway, energy, and
robotics.

Guaranteeing the temporal constraints depends on the predictability
properties of the whole system (processor architecture, software, OS,
scheduling strategy, communications, and middleware). However, system
efficiency is measured by means of average-case behavior with
performance, resource utilization, and power consumption criteria.

Reasons for the gap between average-case and worst-case behavior are
the variation and non-determinism of the system environment, and the
interferences caused by shared resources. Unfortunately, new classes
of hardware platforms such as multi-core processors and
multiprocessors-on-a-chip as well as the demand for adaptive and
multi-mode applications quickly increase system efficiency if
worst-case behavior needs to be guaranteed.

The workshop will discuss approaches that attack the improvement of
both worst-case predictability and of average-case performance. Topics
of interest include mixed-criticality approaches, predictable
(multi-core) architectures, worst-case execution time and interference
analysis, resource-aware compilers, scheduling and allocation
considering worst-case and average-case performance, and
certification.

Workshop topics
===============

Contributions should relate to the main subject of the workshop. The
following issues and questions are of special interest:

- Concepts and metrics for characterizing predictability.

- Computer science has been successful in removing resource
   interactions from interfaces. Does it make sense to enrich
   interfaces with resource-related information. If yes, on which level
   of abstraction (instruction set, software components, ?).

- Do resource interactions have an influence across abstraction
   layers? In particular, can improvements on one layer lead to
   degradation on another layer?

- Designing new hardware with special support for predictability.

- Using mainstream software development for predictability, for
   instance with the support of new compilers for classical programming
   languages.

- Multicore predictable processors: How can embedded multicore
   processors be designed in a time predictable fashion?

- Parallel predictable processors: How can embedded control algorithms
   that require a higher performance than sequential processors can
   deliver be parallelized and allow for time predictability of the
   parallel task?

- Mixed criticality: Is the execution of mixed real-time and
   non-real-time applications on an embedded multicore processor
   feasible?

- Case studies involving applications where one needs to guarantee
   deadlines AND average performance.

Scope
=====
Component-based software development is a paradigm that has been
proposing sound engineering principles and techniques for coping with
the complexity of software-intensive systems. However, many
challenging conceptual and technological issues remain that require
further research.
Moreover, the advent of service-oriented and cloud computing has
brought to the fore new dimensions, such as quality of service and
robustness to withstand inevitable faults, which require established
concepts to be revisited and new ones to be developed in order to meet
the opportunities offered by those architectures. As software
applications become themselves components of wider socio-technical
systems, further challenges arise from the need to create and manage
interactions, which can evolve in time and space, and rely on the use of
resources that can change in non-computable ways.
FACS 2014 is concerned with how formal methods can be used to make
component-based development fit for the new architectures of today
and the systems that are now pervading the socio-economic
world.
Formal methods have provided foundations for component-based
software through research on mathematical models for components,
composition and adaptation, and rigorous approaches to verification,
deployment, testing, and certification. Whilst those avenues still need
to be further explored, time is also ripe to bring new techniques to the
fore, such as those based on stochastic models and simulation.

Topics of Interest
==================
The symposium seeks to address the development and
application of formal methods in all aspects of software
components and services. Specific topics include, but are not
limited to:

?- formal models for software components and their interaction
?- formal aspects of services, service oriented architectures, business 
processes,
cloud computing, ensembles, or similar programming artifacts
?- design and verification methods for software components and services
?- composition and deployment: models, calculi, languages
?- formal methods and modeling languages for components and services
?- model based and GUI based testing of components and services
?- models for QoS and other extra-functional properties (e.g., trust, 
compliance,
security) of components and services
?- components for real-time, safety-critical, secure, and/or embedded systems
?- stochastic techniques for modelling and verification
?- simulation techniques for complex networks of interacting components
?- industrial or experience reports, and case studies
?- update and reconfiguration of component and service architectures
?- component systems evolution and maintenance
?- autonomic components and self-managed applications
?- formal and rigorous approaches to software adaptation and self-adaptive 
systems
?- tools supporting the formal methods for components and services

Call for Papers
===============
We solicit high-quality submissions reporting on (as related to topics 
mentioned
here):
- A) original research contributions (18 pages max);
- B) applications and experiences (18 pages max);
- C) surveys, comparisons, and state-of-the-art reports (18 pages max);

                     Tenth ICLP Doctoral Student Consortium
                   to be held in Vienna, Austria, 20 July 2014

                     https://sites.google.com/site/iclpdc14/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ICLP Doctoral Consortium (DC) is the tenth doctoral consortium to be held as
part of the 30th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2014). The
DC will take place during ICLP 2014 in Vienna, Austria. It provides a forum for
doctoral students working in areas related to logic and constraint programming,
with a particular emphasis to students interested in pursuing a career in
academia. The DC gives students the opportunity to present and discuss their
research and to obtain feedback from peers as well as world-renowned experts.

** Target Audience **

The DC is designed for students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, though we
are also open to exceptions (e.g., students currently in a Master's program and
interested in doctoral studies). Students at any stage in their doctoral studies
are encouraged to apply for participation in the DC. Applicants are expected to
conduct research in areas related to logic and constraint programming; topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):

- Theoretical Foundations of Logic and Constraint Logic Programming
- Sequential and Parallel Implementation Technology
- Static and Dynamic Analysis, Abstract Interpretation, Compilation Technology,
  Verification
- Logic-based Paradigms (e.g., Answer Set Programming, Concurrent Logic
  Programming, Inductive Logic Programming)
- Innovative Applications of Logic Programming

Submissions by students who have presented their work at previous ICLP DC
editions are allowed, but should occur only if there are substantial changes or
improvements to the student's work.

The DC allows participants to interact with established researchers and fellow
students, through presentations, question-answer sessions, panel discussions, and
invited presentations. The Doctoral Consortium will provide the possibility to
reflect - through short activities, information sessions, and discussions - on
the process and lessons of research and life in academia. Each participant will
give a short, critiqued, research presentation.

** Application Process **

An application for participation in the ICLP DC 2014 consists of a cover letter,
a research summary, and a letter of recommendation (e.g., from your supervisor).
All applications must be in English and submitted electronically via EasyChair,
due to the application submission deadline. Detailed submission instructions are
provided at the ICLP DC 2014 website.

The DC program committee will select participants based on their anticipated
contribution to the DC objectives. Students will be selected based on clarity and
completeness of their submission package, relevance of their research area w.r.t.
the focus of ICLP, stage of research, recommendation letter, and evidence of
promise towards a successful career in research and academia, such as published
papers or technical reports.

The works accepted for presentation at the DC will be published in conjunction
with the ICLP proceedings. Updates follow as soon as we have more information
regarding this.

** Best Contribution Award **

The DC program committee will review submission packages and judge DC
presentations to assign the "Best ICLP DC 2014 Contribution" award among
participants. The award-winning contribution will also be presented in the ICLP
main program.

** Participant Funding **

The Association for Logic Programming supports ICLP DC 2014 participants. Updates
follow as soon as we have more information regarding this.

15th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
May 26-28, 2014
Utrecht University
Soesterberg, The Netherlands
http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/WebHome

*** Submission for TFP 2014 is now open: please direct your browser to
*** http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/PaperSubmission

The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international
forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional 
programming,
taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to
be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and 
other
contributions (see below), described in draft papers submitted prior to the
symposium. A formal post-symposium refereeing process then selects a subset
of the articles presented at the symposium and submitted for formal
publication.

Selected revised papers will be published as a Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) volume.

TFP 2014 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming events.
The other is the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming
in Education (TFPIE). TFPIE will take place on May 25th. Its website is 
located
at http://www.cs.uwyo.edu/~jlc/tfpie14/

The TFP symposium is the heir of the successful series of Scottish 
Functional
Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in
Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2003, in Munich (Germany) in 2004,
in Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005, in Nottingham (UK) in 2006,
in New York (USA) in 2007, in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008,
in Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009, in Oklahoma (USA) in 2010, in Madrid 
(Spain) in
2011, St. Andrews (UK) in 2012 and Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013.
For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage.

INVITED SPEAKERS

TFP is pleased to announce talks by the following two invited speakers:

John Hughes of Chalmers, Goteborg, Sweden, is well-known as author of
Why Functional Programming Matters, and as one of the designers of 
QuickCheck
(together with Koen Claessen); the paper on QuickCheck won the
ICFP Most Influential Paper Award in 2010. Currently he divides his time 
between
his professorship and Quviq, a company that performs property-based 
testing of
software with a tool implemented in Erlang.

Dr. Geoffrey Mainland received his PhD from Harvard University where he was
advised by Greg Morrisett and Matt Welsh. After a two year postdoc with the
Programming Principles and Tools group at Microsoft Research Cambridge, 
he is
now an assistant professor at Drexel University. His research focuses on
high-level programming language and runtime support for non-general purpose
computation.

SCOPE

The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes.
As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the
following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited 
in any
of these categories:

     Research Articles: leading-edge, previously unpublished research work
     Position Articles: on what new trends should or should not be
     Project Articles: descriptions of recently started new projects
     Evaluation Articles: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project
     Overview Articles: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject

Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to
any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming:
theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented.
Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are
also within the scope of the symposium.

Topics suitable for the symposium include:

     Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing
     Functional programming in the cloud
     High performance functional computing
     Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs
     Dependently typed functional programming
     Validation and verification of functional programs
     Using functional techniques to reason about 
imperative/object-oriented programs
     Debugging for functional languages
     Functional programming in different application areas:
       security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded 
systems,
       global computing, grids, etc.
     Interoperability with imperative programming languages
     Novel memory management techniques
     Program analysis and transformation techniques
     Empirical performance studies
     Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages
     (Embedded) domain specific languages
     New implementation strategies
     Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area

If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP,
please contact the TFP 2014 program chair, Jurriaan Hage at J.Hage at uu.nl.

BEST PAPER AWARDS

To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper
accepted for the formal proceedings.

TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students,
acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject
trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper
is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors,
and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper
is awarded each year.

In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize.
In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then
receive both prizes.

SPONSORS

TFP is financially supported by NWO (Netherlands Organisation for 
Scientific
Research), Well-Typed and Erlang Solutions.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a
lightweight peer review process of extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in
length) or full papers (16 pages). The submission must clearly indicate
which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation,
or overview paper. It should also indicate whether the main author or
authors are research students. In the case of a FULL STUDENT paper, the
draft paper will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members 
shortly
after the symposium has taken place.

We use EasyChair for the refereeing process.

=========================================================================

Several new models of computation have emerged in the last few years, 
and many developments of traditional computational models have been 
proposed with the aim of taking into account the new demands of computer 
systems users and the new capabilities of computation engines. A new 
computational model, or a new feature in a traditional one, usually is 
reflected in a new family of programming languages, and new paradigms of 
software development.

DCM 2014 is the tenth in a series of international workshops focusing on 
new computational models. The aim of this workshop is to bring together 
researchers who are currently developing new computational models or new 
features for traditional computational models, in order to foster their 
interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in 
progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in 
this area. DCM 2014 will be a one-day satellite event of CSL-LICS 2014, 
in the context of VSL 2014.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation and their 
properties, and their applications to the development of programming 
languages and systems:

CALL FOR PAPERS

WS-FM:FASOCC 2014

11th International Workshop on Web Services and Formal Methods:
Formal Aspects of Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing

September 11-12, 2014, Haifa, Israel

http://wsfm2014.haifa.ac.il/

#####################################################################

Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) has been established as a major paradigm for system development, revolving around functional and autonomous building blocks that are available over the Internet and independent of platforms and programming languages. To support the SOC paradigm, infrastructures provide standard mechanisms and protocols for describing, locating and invoking services.

Cloud computing has seen a remarkable uptake and facilitates distributed computing based on virtualization. Here, abstractions centred on services, such as Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Infrastructure as a Service, enable dynamic sharing of resources and allow for tailoring service delivery to clients' needs. As such, cloud computing provides a backbone for more effective and efficient service-oriented computing.

Formal methods can play a fundamental role in research on SOC, cloud computing, and their interplay. They can help us to define unambiguous semantics for the languages and protocols that underpin existing Web service infrastructures, and provide a basis for checking the conformance and compliance of bundled services. They can also empower dynamic discovery and binding with compatibility checks against behavioural properties and quality of service requirements. Formal analysis of security properties and performance is essential in cloud computing and in application areas including e-science, e-commerce, workflow, and business process management. Formal models further enable linking service abstractions to event-driven, reactive middle-ware and execution infrastructures. Moreover, the challenges raised by this area can offer opportunities for extending the state of the art in formal techniques.

The aim of the WS-FM:FASOCC workshop series is to bring together researchers working on SOC, cloud computing, and formal methods in order to catalyse fruitful collaboration. The scope of the workshop is not only limited to technological aspects. In fact, the workshop series has a strong tradition of attracting submissions on formal approaches to enterprise systems modelling in general, and business process modelling in particular. Potentially, this could have a significant impact on the ongoing standardization efforts for SOC and cloud computing technologies.

CSF 2014 Call for Papers and Panels
27th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium

http://csf2014.di.univr.it/
July 19 - 22, 2014
Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien)
part of FLoC 2014 - Federated Logic Conference
part of VSL 2014 - Vienna Summer of Logic - http://vsl2014.at/

*****************************************************

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium is an annual conference
for researchers in computer security. CSF seeks papers on foundational
aspects of computer security, e.g., formal security models,
relationships between security properties and defenses, principled
techniques and tools for design and analysis of security mechanisms, as
well as their application to practice. While CSF welcomes submissions
beyond the topics listed below, the main focus of CSF is foundational
security: submissions that lack foundational aspects risk rejection.

Topics
------
New results in computer security are welcome. Possible topics include,
but are not limited to: access control, accountability, anonymity,
authentication, critical infrastructure security, cryptography, data
and system integrity, database security, decidability and complexity,
distributed systems, electronic voting, executable content, formal
methods and verification, game theory and decision theory, hardware-
based security, humans and computer security, information flow,
intrusion detection, language-based security, network security, novel
insights on attacks, privacy, provenance, resource usage control,
security for mobile computing, security models, security protocols,
software security, socio-technical security, trust management, usable
security, web security.

Special Sessions (NEW)
----------------------
We strongly encourage papers in three foundational areas of research
not traditionally represented at CSF:

  AI & SECURITY. (Chairs: Ariel Procaccia & Benjamin Rubinstein.)
  In recent years, a number of communities overlapping with AI---
  notably algorithmic economics and machine learning---have made
  significant forays into security & privacy. This session aims to
  collect theoretical viewpoints on security & privacy, particularly
  from researchers across diverse communities such as those
  identifying with AAAI/IJCAI, AAMAS, EC, WEIS, ICML, NIPS, COLT,
  STOC/FOCS, S&P, and CCS (including the AISEC workshop). Papers in
  the following areas intersecting with information security are
  highly encouraged to submit to this special session: Economics: Game
  theory, mechanism design, market design, social choice; Learning:
  Online learning, robust statistics, adversarial machine learning,
  privacy-preserving technologies such as differential privacy.

  PRIVACY. (Chair: Vitaly Shmatikov.) CSF 2014 will include a special
  session on privacy foundations and invites submissions on
  definitions, models, and frameworks for communication and data
  privacy, principled analysis of deployed or proposed privacy
  protection mechanisms, and foundational aspects of practical privacy
  technologies. Submissions investigating connections between privacy
  law and policy and computer science are especially encouraged.

  USABLE SECURITY. (Chair: Lujo Bauer.) It has become accepted that
  any user-facing security technology or mechanism is unlikely to be
  secure if it is not usable.  Hence, understanding, measuring, and
  designing for usability are foundational aspects of building secure
  systems.  CSF 2014 encourages submission of papers that describe new
  results, quantitative or qualitative, in usability as it pertains to
  security and privacy.  Particularly encouraged are papers that focus
  on foundational aspects of usability, as well as those whose results
  generalize beyond a specific environment or system.

These papers will be reviewed under the supervision of expert invited
session chairs. They will be presented at the conference, and will
appear in the CSF proceedings without any distinction from the other
papers.

Challenges and Vision Papers
----------------------------
We particularly encourage challenge/vision papers, which may describe
open questions and raise fundamental concerns about practical
security. Challenges and/or vision papers should typically identify a
real world security problem, argue why it raises foundational issues,
explain why the currently available and relevant techniques are
inadequate for addressing it, and identify foundational challenges
that have to be addressed to solve the problem.  These papers will be
presented at the conference, and will appear in the CSF proceedings
without any distinction from the other papers.


Proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, will be
available at the symposium, and selected papers will be invited for
submission to the Journal of Computer Security.

*****************************************************
PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with published proceedings. Failure to clearly identify any
duplication or overlap with other published or submitted papers is
ground for rejection without full review.

Papers should be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers
submitted in a proprietary format such as Microsoft Word cannot be
considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required
to attend CSF to present the paper.

Papers must be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style
available for various document preparation systems at the IEEE
Conference Publishing Services page. Papers must not be anonymized.
Authors should use appropriate keywords from "AI & Security", "Usable
Security", "Privacy" and "Challenge/Vision" to indicate that the paper
is meant for a special session. All papers should be at most 12 pages
long, not counting bibliography and well-marked appendices.

Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the
paper must be intelligible without them. Papers not adhering to the
page limits will be rejected without consideration of their merits.

Papers should be submitted using the CSF 2014 submission site.
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csf2014

*****************************************************
PANEL PROPOSALS

Proposals for panels are welcome. They should be no more than three
pages in length, and should include the names of possible panelists
and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed a desire
to participate. They should be submitted by email to the program
chairs.

in the Foundations of Computing Science.

Kind Regards,
Roy Crole.

=====================


The Midlands Graduate School (MGS) in the Foundations of Computing
Science is a collaboration between researchers at the Universities of
Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham and Sheffield. It was established in
1999. The MGS has two main goals: to provide PhD students with a sound
basis for research in the mathematical and practical foundations of
computing and to give PhD students the opportunity to make contact with
established researchers in the field and their peers who are at a
similar stage in their research careers.

This year, the MGS is at the University of Nottingham. It will start on
22 April and finish on 26 April.

Paper submission deadline:	April 1, 2014

AIMS AND SCOPE

Formal tools coming from logic, category theory, 
are important for natural language processing
and especially for computational semantics. 
Moreover, work on these tools borrows heavily 
from all areas of theoretical computer science. 
In the other direction, applications 
having to do with natural language 
have inspired developments on the formal side. 
The workshop invites papers on both topics and their applications, 
as well as on the combination between logical and statistical methods. 

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* linguistic, computational and logical aspects of the interface between syntax and semantics
* logical aspects of linguistic theories 
* logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog
* continuations in natural language semantics
* formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language inference
* applications of category theory in semantics
* linear logic in semantics
* formal approaches to unifying data-driven (quantitative, statistical) and declarative (logical) approaches to semantics
* natural language processing tools using some logic

The ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) embraces all aspects of software construction and delivery to make it the premier conference at the intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. SPLASH is now accepting submissions. We invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished work.

** OOPSLA Research Papers** 
Papers that address any aspect of software development are welcome, including requirements, modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, maintenance, reuse, replacement, and retirement of software systems. Papers may address these topics in a variety of ways, including new tools (such as languages, program analyses, and runtime systems), new techniques (such as methodologies, design processes, code organization approaches, and management techniques), and new evaluations (such as formalisms and proofs, corpora analyses, user studies, and surveys).

Submissions Due: 25 March, 2014
http://splashcon.org/2014/oopsla.html

** Onward! Research Papers ** 
Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, communities, and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting on programming language and software engineering research.

Submissions Due: 25 March, 2014
http://splashcon.org/2014/onward.html

** Onward! Essays **
Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community. An essay can be an exploration of a topic, its impact, or the circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps that by which the author reached an understanding of such a topic. The subject area should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings.

Submissions Due: 29 March, 2014
http://splashcon.org/2014/essays.html

** Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) **
DLS is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and research on dynamic languages, their implementation, and applications. The influence of dynamic languages ? from Lisp to Smalltalk to Python to Javascript ? on real-world practice, and research, continues to grow. We invite high quality papers reporting original research, innovative contributions, or experience related to dynamic languages, their implementation, and applications.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoctoral Researcher on formal
 methods/web/security at Imperial College London
Message-ID: <52F383C4.10300@doc.ic.ac.uk>


One Postdoctoral Researcher position (RA) is available in the Department 
of Computing at Imperial College London.


JavaScript is pervasive in most web applications. JavaScript 
applications can be programmed directly, or can be obtained by compiling 
from other languages. Either way, a rigorous model of JavaScript is 
invaluable to develop trustworthy analyses of web programs. The JSCert 
project (http://jscert.org) has developed a mechanised specification of 
JavaScript in the Coq proof assistant, and a corresponding reference 
interpreter for JavaScript in OCaml, provably correct and thoroughly 
tested.


The post-doctoral researcher, leveraging (and contributing to) the 
JSCert infrastructure, will work on some combination of:

- Security: information flow control, secure subsets, defence against 
web vulnerabilities;
- Verification: static/dynamic analysis tools for guaranteeing safety or 
finding bugs;
- Compilation: translation from other languages into JavaScript, from 
JavaScript to bytecode or asm.js.

JScert is a collaboration between Imperial College and INRIA. The 
position will be based in London, but will offer significant scope of 
collaboration with various INRIA sites.


The position is for up to 3 years, starting as soon as possible. The 
salary is in the range 32k - 41k GBP (depending on experience) plus a 
budget for travel and equipment. Imperial College is in the heart of 
London, close to beautiful parks, good restaurants, cultural attractions 
and entertainment venues. Candidates must hold a PhD, should have a 
strong track record in formal methods, and an interest in some of: proof 
assistants, development of verification tools, static analyses, web 
security.

CALL FOR PAPERS

13th International Conference on
Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences 
(GPCE 2014)

September 15-16, 2014
V?ster?s, Sweden
(collocated with ASE 2014 and SLE 2014)

IMPORTANT DATES

* Submission of papers:    May 30, 2014
* Paper notification:      July 7, 2014


SCOPE

Generative and component approaches and domain-specific abstractions are 
revolutionizing software development just as automation and componentization 
revolutionized manufacturing. Raising the level of abstraction in software 
specification has been a fundamental goal of the computing community for 
several decades. Key technologies for automating program development and 
lifting the abstraction level closer to the problem domain are 
*Generative Programming* for program synthesis, *Domain-Specific Languages* 
(DSLs) for compact problem-oriented programming notations, and corresponding 
*Implementation Technologies* aiming at modularity, correctness, reuse, and 
evolution. As the field matures *Applications* and *Empirical Results* are 
of increasing importance.

The International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences 
(GPCE) is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques 
that use program generation, domain-specific languages, and component 
deployment to increase programmer productivity, improve software quality, 
and shorten the time-to-market of software products. In addition to exploring 
cutting-edge techniques of generative software, our goal is to foster further 
cross-fertilization between the software engineering and the programming 
languages research communities.



SUBMISSIONS

We seek research papers of up to 10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style 
(sigplanconf.cls, see
http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm) reporting original and
unpublished results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, or
experimental research that contribute to scientific knowledge in the
areas listed below (the PC chair can advise on appropriateness).

4-page short papers and tool demonstrations are also accepted (see website).


TOPICS

GPCE seeks contributions on all topics related to generative software and 
its properties. As technology is maturing, this year, we are particularly
looking for empirical evaluations in this context. Key topics include 
(but are certainly not limited too):

* Generative software
    Domain-specific languages
    Product lines
    Metaprogramming
    Program synthesis
    Implementation techniques and tool support
* Properties of generative software
    Correctness of generators and generated code
    Reuse and evolution
    Modularity, separation of concerns, understandability, and maintainability
    Performance engineering, nonfunctional properties
    Application areas and engineering practice
* Empirical evaluations of all topics above

A more detailed list of topics can be found on the website.

Examples of key challenges in the field are
*   Synthesizing code from declarative specifications
*   Supporting extensible languages and language embedding
*   Ensuring correctness and other nonfunctional properties of generated code; 
    proving generators correct
*   Improving error reporting with domain-specific error messages
*   Reasoning about generators; handling variability-induced complexity in 
    product lines
*   Providing efficient interpreters and execution languages
*   Human factors in developing and maintaining generators

Note on empirical evaluations: GPCE is committed to the empirical
evaluation of generative software. Publishing empirical papers at
programming-language venues can be challenging. We understand the
frustration of authors when, for example, reviews simply recommend
repeating entire experiments with human subjects with slight
deviations in execution. To alleviate such problems, we have recruited
forto program committee experts who routinely work with empirical
methods, and we will actively seek external reviews where
appropriate. During submissions, authors can optionally indicate that
a paper contains substantial empirical work, and we will endeavor have
to the paper reviewed by experts familiar with the empirical research
methods that are used in the paper. The program-committee discussions
will reflect on both technical contributions and research methods.

Policy: Incremental improvements over previously published work should
have been evaluated through systematic, comparative, empirical, or
experimental evaluation.  Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN's
republication policy (http://www.sigplan.org/republicationpolicy.htm).
Please contact the program chair if you have any questions about how
this policy applies to your paper (chairs at gpce.org).

*3rd International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in 
Education (TFPIE 2014)*
May 25, 2014
Utrecht University
Soesterberg, The Netherlands
(http://www.cs.uwyo.edu/~jlc/tfpie14/ 
<http://www.cs.uwyo.edu/%7Ejlc/tfpie14/>)


The 3rd International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in 
Education, TFPIE 2014, will be co-located with the Symposium on Trends 
in Functional Programming (TFP 2014) <http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/> 
at Soesterberg, at the "Kontakt der Kontinenten" 
<http://www.kontaktderkontinenten.nl/conferentiehotel/home.aspx?lang=en-US> 
hotel in the Netherlands on Sunday, May 25th.  TFP will follow from May 
26-28.


The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, teachers and professionals 
that use, or are interested in the use of, functional programming in 
education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested 
ideas and work-in-progress on the use of functional programming in 
education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of 
open discussion by having a review process for publication after the 
workshop. The program chair of TFPIE 2014 will screen submissions to 
ensure that all presentations are within scope and are of interest to 
participants. Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended 
abstract (4-6 pages) or a draft paper (up to 16 pages) in EPTCS style. 
The authors of accepted presentations will have their preprints and 
their slides made available on the workshop's website/wiki. Visitors to 
the TFPIE 2014 website/wiki will be able to add comments. This includes 
presenters who may respond to comments and questions as well as provide 
pointers to improvements and follow-up work.  After the workshop,

     --- Second Call for Contributions ---

Important Dates

Submission deadline: March 01, 2014
Notification of acceptance: March 08, 2014
Final version due: April 22, 2014
Workshop: May 13th, 2014

General
---------------
This workshop will bring together researchers from formal methods, 
automated reasoning and AI; it will address the issue of how AI can 
be used to support the formal software development process, including 
requirement analysis, modelling and proof. Previous AI4FM workshops 
have included a mix of industrial and academic participants and we 
anticipate attracting a similarly diverse audience. 

Rigorous software development using formal methods allows the construction 
of an accurate characterisation of a problem domain that is firmly based 
on mathematics; by applying standard mathematical analyses, these methods 
can be used to prove that systems satisfy formal specifications. Research 
has shown that with tools backed by mature theory, formal methods are 
becoming cost effective and their use is easier to justify, not as an 
academic exercise, legal requirement or niche markets -- but as part of 
a business case. However, while industrial use of formal methods is 
increasing, in order to make it more mainstream, the cost of applying 
formal methods, in terms of mathematical skill level and development 
time, must still be reduced. We believe that AI can help with these 
issues.


Scope
---------------
We encourage submissions presenting work in progress, tools under
development, and PhD projects, in order that the workshop can become 
a forum for active dialogue between the groups involved in  automated 
reasoning, formal methods and artificial intelligence.  Particular 
areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

- The use of AI and automated reasoning to support and guide the formal 
  modelling process.
- The use of AI and automated reasoning in the requirement capture process.
- The use of AI to reuse formal models, programs and proofs.
- The use of machine learning to support interactive theorem proving.
- The use of machine learning to enhance automated theorem proving.
- The development of search heuristics.
- The use of AI for term synthesis, invariant generation, lemma discovery 
  and concept invention.
- The use of AI for counter-example generation.
- The use of constraint solvers in formal methods. 
- The role of AI planning for formal systems developments, from requirements 
  to the end product (including software and hardware).
- The interplay between reasoning and modelling and the role of AI in this 
  framework.
- Ontologies in the formal engineering process.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] FP7 ONTIC project. PhD Open positions.
Message-ID: <b079cf24fe8fd938ab535b5c04513d14@upm.es>

Dear all,

Technical University of Madrid offers a Ph.D. studentship for 3 years in 
the context of the FP7 ONTIC project.

-----------------------------
TITLE
-----------------------------
Online Network Traffic Classification

-----------------------------
KEYWORDS
-----------------------------
Big Data Analytics, Scalability, Network Traffic Classification, Data
Stream Mining, Machine Learning

-----------------------------
RESEARCH DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------
The research will be conducted at the Technical University of Madrid,
within the Internet Next Generation Research Group at E.T.S. Sistemas
Informaticos and founded by the ONTIC European Project (FP7).

Accurate identification and categorization of network traffic according
to application type is an important element of many network management
and engineering tasks related with QoS, capacity planning and detection
of network attacks.

Terabytes of data may be transferred through the core network of a
typical ISP every day. Moreover, it is expected an exponential growth of
more than 50 billions of connected devices to Internet. Therefore, this
scenario hampers network data capture and analysis.

ONTIC (Online Network TraffIc Characterization) project investigates:

1)
A novel architecture of scalable mechanisms and techniques to be
able to a) characterize online network traffic data streams, identifying
traffic patterns evolution, and b) proactively detecting anomalies in
real time when hundreds of thousands of packets per second are
processed.

2)
A completely new set of scalable offline data mining mechanisms and
techniques to characterize network traffic, applying a Big Data
analytics approach and using distributed computation paradigms in the
cloud on extremely large network traffic summary datasets consisting on
trillions of records.

Under the context of the project, the proposed Ph.D. project aims at
investigating and proposing a new set of online and offline algorithms
and machine learning techniques to build autonomous network traffic
characterization systems while tackling scalability and real time
network traffic issues in a Big Data analytics scenario.

2014 TARRAGONA INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON TRENDS IN COMPUTING

SSTiC 2014

Tarragona, Spain

July 7-11, 2014

Organized by
Rovira i Virgili University

http://grammars.grlmc.com/sstic2014/

*********************************************************************

--- February 15, 3rd registration deadline ---

*********************************************************************

AIM:

SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see  http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/

SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.

SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 6
keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.

SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.

REGIME:

In addition to keynotes, 3 parallel sessions will be held during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.

VENUE:

SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:

Introduction of the Workshop
-----------------
The International Workshop on Engineering Safety and Security Systems
(ESSS) aims at contributing to the challenge of constructing reliable
and secure systems. The workshop covers areas such as formal
specification, (extended) type checking, model checking, program
analysis/transformation, model-based testing and model-driven software
construction. The workshop will bring together researchers and
industry R&D expertise together to exchange their knowledge, discuss
their research findings, and explore potential collaborations.


Theme of the Workshop
-----------------
The main theme of the workshop is methods and techniques for
constructing large reliable and secure systems. The goal of the
workshop is to establish a platform for the exchange of ideas,
discussion, cross-fertilization, inspiration, co-operation, and
dissemination. The topics of the workshop include, but are not
limited to:

-- methods, techniques and tools for system safety and security
-- methods, techniques and tools for analysis, certification, and
   debugging of complex safety and security systems
-- model-based and verification-based testing
-- emerging application domains such as cloud computing and
   cyber-physical systems
-- case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods
   for analyzing safety and security systems


Submissions guidelines
-----------------
Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Submissions
should be in made via the Easychair site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esss2014.

We invite two types of submissions:

--Regular papers (up to 15 pages) describing original and unpublished
work within the scope of the workshop.
--Short papers (up to 6 pages) describing work in progress or less
mature results.

Case studies and tool papers are welcome as well. All submissions must
be prepared in LATEX using the EPTCS macro package.

The final versions of accepted regular and short papers will be

                        CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

                      Co-located with ICFP 2014
                         Sponsored by SIGPLAN
           Talk Proposal Submission Deadline: May 19, 2014

==============================================================================

The OCaml Users and Developers Workshop brings together industrial users of
OCaml with academics and hackers who are working on extending the language,
type system and tools.
Previous editions have been colocated with ICFP 2012 in Copenhagen, and
ICFP 2013 in Boston, following the OCaml Meetings in Paris in 2010 and
2011. OCaml 2014 will be held on September 5, 2014, in Gothenburg,
colocated with ICFP 2014.

Scope
=====

Discussions will focus on the practical aspects of OCaml programming and
the nitty gritty of the tool-chain and upcoming improvements and changes.
Thus, we aim to solicit talks on all aspects related to improving the use
or development of the language and of its programming environment,
including, for example:

- compiler developments, new backends, runtime and architectures

- practical type system improvements, such as (but not limited to) 
 GADTs, first-class modules, generic programming, or dependent types

- new library or application releases, and their design rationales

- tools and infrastructure services, and their enhancements

- prominent industrial uses of OCaml, or deployments in unusual
 situations.

Submission
==========

It will be an informal meeting, with an online scribe report of the
meeting, but no formal proceedings. Slides of presentations will be
available online from the workshop homepage. The presentations will
likely be recorded, and made available at a later time.

To submit a talk, please register a description of the talk (about 2 pages
long) at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocaml2014, providing a
clear statement of what will be brought by the talk: the problems that are
addressed, the technical solutions or methods that are proposed. If you
wish to perform a demo or require any special setup, we will do our best to
accommodate you.

ML family workshop and post-proceedings
=======================================

The ML family workshop, held on the previous day, deals with general issues
of the ML-style programming and type systems, and is seen as more research
oriented. Yet there is an overlap with the OCaml workshop, which we are
keen to explore, for instance by having a common session.  The authors who
feel their submission fits both workshops are encouraged to mention it at
submission time and/or contact the Program Chairs.

As another form of cooperation, we are considering combined post-conference
proceedings of selected papers from the two workshops. The Program
Committees shall invite interested authors of selected presentations to
expand their abstract for inclusion in the proceedings. The submissions
would be reviewed according to the standards of the publication.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoc in provably secure systems at KTH
Message-ID: <93798E81-778A-4417-9A80-BEED9CB96232@kth.se>

The Theoretical Computer Science Group at the School of Computer Science and Communication, KTH, invites applications for *one postdoctoral position in provably secure systems*.

The candidate will join the PROSPER team, led by Prof. Mads Dam, working on security verification of low-level code. The goal of the PROSPER project is to develop novel security kernels and hypervisors, primarily for embedded applications (smartphones, microcontrollers), that are fully formally verified at the machine code level. This involves a wide variety of challenging tasks, including theory and methods, tool development, kernel development and verification, prototype implementation, and benchmarking. The verification work uses a mix of program verification and semi-automated theorem proving methods. The project is currently in a fertile phase and needs an ambitious and creative postdoc interested in pushing the envelope for real systems verification. 

Within the framework of the PROSPER project, the postdoc will have ample opportunity to contribute to student supervision at both PhD and MSc levels, to take courses in university pedagogics, to contribute to undergraduate teaching on a voluntary basis, and to assist in project development and grant applications.

The research project is financed by a framework grant from the Swedish Strategic Research Foundation, but the group also conducts industry-sponsored research. The successful candidate is likely to be involved in both types of work.

The postdoc position is a full-time research position for one year with a possible one-year extension, subject to funding available as expected. The successful candidate is expected to start at the latest in August-September 2014, although this may be to some extent negotiable.

Application deadline is Feb 28, 2014.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Higher-order, Typed, Inferred,
	Strict: ACM SIGPLAN ML Family Workshop
Message-ID: <276D9B6E-69D8-4918-BC88-D9762375A2A3@math.nagoya-u.ac.jp>

Higher-order, Typed, Inferred, Strict: ACM SIGPLAN ML Family Workshop
Thursday September 4, 2014, Gothenburg, Sweden
(immediately following ICFP and preceding OCaml Users and Developers Workshop)

Call For Papers         http://okmij.org/ftp/ML/ML14.html

ML is a very large family of programming languages that includes Standard ML,
OCaml, F#, SML#, Manticore, MetaOCaml, JoCaml, Alice ML, Dependent ML, Flow
Caml, and many others. All ML languages, beside the great deal of syntax, share
several fundamental traits. They are all higher-order, strict, mostly pure, and
typed, with algebraic and other data types. Their type systems inherit from
Hindley-Milner. The development of these languages has inspired a significant
amount of computer science research and influenced a number of programming
languages, including Haskell, Scala and Clojure, as well as Rust, ATS and many
others.

ML workshops have been held in affiliation with ICFP continuously since 2005.
This workshop specifically aims to recognize the entire extended ML family and
to provide the forum to present and discuss common issues, both practical
(compilation techniques, implementations of concurrency and parallelism,
programming for the Web) and theoretical (fancy types, module systems,
metaprogramming). The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of the design,
semantics, theory, application, implementation, and teaching of the members of
the ML family. We also encourage presentations from related languages (such as
Scala, Rust, Nemerle, ATS, etc.), to exchange experience of further developing
ML ideas.

The ML family workshop will be held in close coordination with the OCaml Users
and Developers Workshop.

Format

Since 2010, the ML workshop has adopted an informal model. Presentations are
selected from submitted abstracts. There are no published proceedings, so any
contributions may be submitted for publication elsewhere. We hope that this
format encourages the presentation of exciting (if unpolished) research and
deliver a lively workshop atmosphere.

Each presentation should take 20-25 minutes, except demos, which should take
10-15 minutes. The exact time will be decided based on the number of accepted
submissions. The presentations will likely be recorded.

Post-conference proceedings

We are considering post-conference proceedings of selected papers. The Program
Committee shall invite interested authors of selected presentations to expand
their abstract for inclusion in the proceedings. The submissions are to be
reviewed according to the standards of the publication.

Coordination with the OCaml Users and Developers Workshop

The OCaml workshop is seen as more practical and is dedicated in significant
part to the OCaml community building and the evolution of the OCaml system. In
contrast, the ML family workshop is not focused on any language in particular,
is more research oriented, and deals with general issues of the ML-style
programming and type systems. Yet there is an overlap, which we are keen to
explore in various ways. The authors who feel their submission fits both
workshops are encouraged to mention it at submission time or contact the
Program Chairs.

Scope

We acknowledge the whole breadth of the ML family and aim to include languages
that are closely related (although not by blood), such as Rust, ATS, Scala,
Typed Clojure. Those languages have implemented and investigated run-time and
type system choices that may be worth considering for OCaml, F# and other ML
languages. We also hope that the exposure to the state of the art ML might
favorably influence those related languages. Specifically, we seek research
presentations on topics including but not limited to

 * Design: concurrency, distribution and mobility, programming for the web and
   embedded systems, handling semi-structured data, facilitating interactive
   programming, higher forms of polymorphism, generic programming, objects
 * Implementation: compilation techniques, interpreters, type checkers,
   partial evaluators, runtime systems, garbage collectors, etc.
 * Type systems: fancy types, inference, effects, overloading, modules,
   contracts, specifications and assertions, dynamic typing, error reporting,
   etc.
 * Applications: case studies, experience reports, pearls, etc.
 * Environments: libraries, tools, editors, debuggers, cross-language
   interoperability, functional data structures, etc.
 * Education: ML and ML-like languages in college or high-school, in general
   or computer science curriculum.

Four kinds of submissions will be accepted: Informed Positions, Research
Presentations, Experience Reports and Demos.

 * Informed Positions: A justified argument for or against a language feature.
   The argument must be substantiated, either theoretically (e.g., by a
   demonstration of (un)soundness, an inference algorithm, a complexity
   analysis), empirically or by a substantial experience. Personal experience
   is accepted as justification so long as it is extensive and illustrated
   with concrete examples.
 * Research Presentations: Research presentations should describe new ideas,
   experimental results, or significant advances in ML-related projects. We
   especially encourage presentations that describe work in progress, that
   outline a future research agenda, or that encourage lively discussion.
   These presentations should be structured in a way which can be, at least in
   part, of interest to (advanced) users.
 * Experience Reports: Users are invited to submit Experience Reports about
   their use of ML and related languages. These presentations do not need to
   contain original research but they should tell an interesting story to
   researchers or other advanced users, such as an innovative or unexpected
   use of advanced features or a description of the challenges they are facing
   or attempting to solve.
 * Demos: Live demonstrations or short tutorials should show new developments,
   interesting prototypes, or work in progress, in the form of tools,
   libraries, or applications built on or related to ML. (You will need to
   provide all the hardware and software required for your demo; the workshop
   organizers are only able to provide a projector.)

WORKSHOP SCOPE

ACL2 2014 is the major technical forum for users of the ACL2 theorem
proving system to present research related to the ACL2 theorem prover
and its applications. ACL2 2014 is the eleventh in the series of ACL2
workshops, which occur approximately every 18 months. ACL2 is an
industrial-strength automated reasoning system, the latest in the
Boyer-Moore family of theorem provers. The 2005 ACM Software System
Award was awarded to Boyer, Kaufmann, and Moore for their work in ACL2
and the other theorem provers in the Boyer-Moore family.

ACL2 2014 is a two-day workshop to be held in Vienna, Austria.
The workshop will feature technical papers, invited
talks, and rump sessions discussing ongoing research. We invite
submissions of papers on any topic related to ACL2 and its
applications, and we strongly encourage submissions related to other
theorem provers or formal methods that are of interest to the ACL2
community. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the
following:

    * software or hardware verification with ACL2,
    * formalizations of mathematics in ACL2,
    * new libraries, tools, and interfaces for ACL2,
    * novel uses of ACL2,
    * experiences with ACL2 in the classroom,
    * reports of and proposals for improvements of ACL2,
    * comparisons with other theorem provers,
    * comparisons with other programming or specification languages,
    * challenge problems and their solutions,
    * foundational issues related to ACL2, and
    * implementations connecting ACL2 with other systems.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format, as directed in
the ACL2 2014 website. Submissions should be prepared in the EPTCS
templates, available from http://style.eptcs.org.

The ACL2 Workshop accepts both long papers (up to sixteen pages) and
extended abstracts (up to two pages). Both categories of papers will
be fully refereed, but only long papers will be included in the final
workshop proceedings. At least one author of each accepted papers must
register for the workshop and give a presentation summarizing the
paper's results. Authors of long papers will have more time to present
their work at the workshop. One of the main advantages of the ACL2
Workshop is that attendees are already knowledgeable about ACL2, its
syntax, its basic commands, and the art of writing models in it. So
authors may assume that readers have this familiarity. The workshop
proceedings will be published as a volume of Electronic Proceedings in
Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

Many papers presented at the workshop will describe interactions with
the theorem prover. We strongly encourage authors of such papers to
provide ACL2 script files (aka "books") along with instructions for
using these books in ACL2. Such supporting materials should follow the
guidelines at
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/moore/acl2/books/index.html. For
accepted papers, we will ask authors to make these books available
by adding them to the ACL2 books repository.

The workshop will also feature ``rump sessions'', in which
participants can describe ongoing research related to ACL2. Proposals
for rump session presentations, including a title and short abstract,
will be accepted until the workshop.

Dear Colleagues,

PERSYVAL-Lab and NASA-JPL are organizing the second edition of the CPS Summer School. The broad objective of the CPS Summer School is to explore the manifold relationship between networked embedded systems (? the internet of things ?) and humans as their creators, users, and subjects. The format of the Summer School is a five days meeting, organized around different aspects of rigorous engineering of Cyber-Physical Systems.

This year, the objective of the school is to survey fundamental and applied aspects of modelling, monitoring and learning of systems as well as to identify novel opportunities and research directions in these areas through a series of lectures by international experts. Participants will also experience the relevant technologies during hands-on courses and be given a chance to present their own work. The school will provide a great opportunity to know other people working in the field, to meet distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the future.

The school will concentrate on the fields of system modelling, monitoring and learning. Over the last ten years we have seen a lot of growth in these areas, building on strong theoretical foundations to apply and extend techniques to new application domains. Runtime verification is a growing field with more and more efffective applications in safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems software, autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy. The field of specification mining (learning specifications from system behaviour) has also seen a surge in research effort, with the establishment of a number of competitions to drive forward the development of practical tools. This research community is at an ideal stage to benefit from a school such as this, to inspire, motivate and instruct new researchers into the field.

Students participating at this summer school will learn the current state of the art in modeling, monitoring, and learning. Students will be able to apply new techniques coming from various communities and backgrounds to their own domain. The CPS Summer School will be held at Grenoble University. Courses will be given in English by experts from industry and academia working in various fields of CPS.

Topics:

	? System modeling.
	? Monitoring.
	? Learning.
	? Medical devices.
	? Sensor networks.

                       June 6, 2014, Berlin, Germany
            http://www.discotec.org/workshops/ice-2014


                  Satellite workshop of DisCoTec 2014
                             http://www.discotec.org


=== Highlights ===

- Innovative selection procedure
- ICE welcomes submissions of full papers, short papers, and brief announcements of already published papers
- Invited talks: Kim Larsen and Pavol Cerny
- Special issue in a highly-reputed journal


=== Important Dates ===

12 March 2014...................Abstract submission
15 March 2014...................Full paper submission
16 March - 15 April 2014....Reviews and PC discussion
16 April 2014......................Notification to authors
6 June 2014.......................ICE in Berlin
15 September 2014...........Camera-ready for post-proceedings


=== Scope ===

Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers with special interest in models, verification, tools, and programming primitives for complex interactions.

The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer science in the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and analysis to studies inspired by emerging computational models.

We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency, including but not limited to:
* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques

The special focus of ICE 2014 is automation in concurrency and interaction.


=== Selection Procedure ===

Since its 1st edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion amongst authors and PC members. 

During the review phase, each submission is published on a dedicated discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of the submission and by all the PC members not in conflict with the submission. The forum is used by reviewers to ask questions and clarifications to the authors, allowing them to better explain all the aspects of their submission. The evaluation of the submission will take into account not only the reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion.

As witnessed by the past six editions of ICE, this procedure considerably improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, the quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop.


=== Submission Guidelines ===

We invite for three types of submissions:
(1) Full Papers;
(2) Short Papers;
(3) Brief Announcements of already Published Papers. 

Full and short papers will appear in the post-proceedings and must report previously unpublished work and not be simultaneously submitted to other conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The ICE 2014 post-proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/). In addition, we invite for brief announcements of already published results, should the authors be interested in discussing their published research with the ICE community and giving a talk. Brief announcements will not be part of the post-proceedings.

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2014). Full papers should not exceed 15 pages in length, while short papers and brief announcements should not exceed 5 pages with the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/).

Accepted (full and short) papers and brief announcements must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.


=== Special Issue ===

We plan to invite extended versions of selected full papers to a special issue in a highly-reputed journal. Such contributions will be regularly peer-reviewed according to the standard journal policy, but they will be handled in a shorter time than regular submissions.

[Apologizes for duplicates]
14th International Conference on
Runtime Verification
September 22 - 25, 2014
*Toronto, Canada*

http://rv2014.imag.fr/

 <http://rv2014.imag.fr/images/CfP.pdf>

Scope:

Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of software
and hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques are crucial
for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they are significantly
more powerful and versatile than conventional testing, and more practical
than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime verification can be used prior
to deployment, for testing, verification, and debugging purposes, and after
deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for providing
fault containment and recovery as well as online system repair. Topics of
interest to the conference include:

   - specification languages
   - specification mining
   - program instrumentation
   - monitor construction techniques
   - logging, recording, and replay
   - fault detection, localization, containment, recovery and repair
   - program steering and adaptation
   - metrics and statistical information gathering
   - combination of static and dynamic analyses
   - program execution visualization
   - monitoring techniques for safety/mission-critical systems
   - monitoring distributed systems, cloud services, and big data
   applications
   - monitoring security and privacy policies

Application areas of runtime verification include safety/mission-critical
systems, enterprise and systems software, autonomous and reactive control
systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and
privacy.



Technical Research Papers Track:

Technical research papers can be submitted in two categories: regular and
short papers. Papers in both categories will be reviewed by the conference
Program Committee. All accepted technical papers will appear in an
LNCS<http://www.springer.com/series/558> volume.
Submitted papers must use the LNCS
style<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>.
At least one author of each accepted paper must attend RV'14 to present the
paper. Papers must be submitted electronically using
theEasyChair<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv2014>
 system.


   - *Regular papers* (up to 15 pages) should present original unpublished
   results. Theoretical and experimental papers as well as papers on
   applications of runtime verification and case studies are all welcome. A
   non-monetary Best Paper Award will be given. A selection of accepted
   regular papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of the Springer
   Journal on Formal Methods in System Design.


   - *Short papers* (up to 5 pages) may present novel but not necessarily
   thoroughly worked out ideas, for example emerging runtime verification
   techniques and applications, or techniques and applications that establish
   relationships between runtime verification and other domains. Accepted
   short papers will be presented in special short talk (10 minutes) and
   poster sessions.

Tool Demonstrations Track:

The aim of the RV 2014 tool demonstration track is to provide an
opportunity for researchers and practitioners to show and to discuss the
latest advances, experiences and challenges in devising and developing
reliable software tools for runtime verification. Tool demonstration papers
will be reviewed by the Tools Track Program Committee. All accepted tool
demonstration papers will appear in the conference proceedings LNCS volume.
Submitted papers must use the LNCS style. At least one author of each
accepted paper must attend RV'14 to present the paper. Papers must be
submitted electronically using the
EasyChair<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv2014>
 system.

Tool papers should meet the following criteria:

   - A tool paper should present a new tool, a new tool component or novel
   extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification. Each
   submission should be original and not published previously in a tool paper
   form.
   - Each submission must not exceed 8 pages in the LNCS/Springer
   proceeding format, including all text, references and figures. The paper
   must be written in English and provided in PDF format.
   - Each submission must be accompanied at the time of the submission by a
   short screencast (between 5-10 minutes), with voice and overlay text
   commentary illustrating the demonstration of the tool (a link to it should
   be provided in the paper).
   - The paper must include information on tool availability, maturity,
   selected experimental results and it should provide a link to a website
   containing the theoretical background and user guide. Furthermore, we
   strongly encourage authors to make their tools and benchmarks available
   with their submission.
   - Each tool paper must include a script in an appendix (not included in
   the page count) describing how the demo will be conducted during the
   conference presentation with screenshots presenting step-by-step the tool's
   capabilities, highlighting the main characteristics and the usage.



Evaluation

Each submission will be reviewed by at least four members of the tool
demonstration track program committee. The evaluation criteria will include:

   - the presentation quality
   - the availability (possibly in a open-source format) of the software.
   - the relevance for the Runtime Verification audience
   - the technical soundness of the presented tool
   - the originality of the underlying ideas

Competition on Software for Runtime Verification (CSRV-2014)

 A satellite event of RV'14 is the first *International Competition on
Software for Runtime Verification* (CRVS'14). The main aims of CSRV-2014
competition are to:

   - Stimulate the development of new efficient and practical runtime
   verification tools and the maintenance of the already developed ones.
   - Produce a benchmark suite for runtime verification tools, by sharing
   case studies and programs that researchers and developers can use in the
   future to test and to validate their prototypes.
   - Discuss the metrics employed for comparing the tools.
   - Provide a comparison of the tools running with different benchmarks
   and evaluating using different criteria.
   - Enhance the visibility of presented tools among the different
   communities (software engineering, formal methods and automated
   verification, distributed computing, security, and safety-critical systems)
   involved in software monitoring.

CRVS'14 will follow the following time line:

   - *Declaration of intent:* December 15, 2013
   - *Deadline for submission of benchmarks:* March 1, 2014
   - *Monitoring tool submission:* June 1, 2014
   - *Notification:* July 1, 2014

** Theme and Goals **

Applications today are built using numerous interacting services; soon off-the-shelf CPUs will host thousands of cores, and sensor networks will be composed from a large number of processing units. Many applications need to make effective use of thousands of computing nodes. At some level of granularity, computation in such systems is inherently concurrent and communication-centred.

To exploit and harness the richness of this computing environment, designers and programmers will utilise a rich variety of programming paradigms, depending on the shape of the data and control flow. Plausible candidates for such paradigms include structured imperative concurrent programming, stream-based programming, concurrent functions with asynchronous message passing, higher-order types for events, and the use of types for communications and data structures (such as session types and linear types), to name but a few. Combinations of these abstractions will be used even in a single application, and the runtime environment needs to ensure seamless execution without relying on differences in available resources such as the number of cores.

The development of effective programming methodologies for the coming computing paradigm demands exploration and understanding of a wide variety of ideas and techniques. This workshop aims to offer a forum where researchers from different fields exchange new ideas on one of the central challenges for programming in the near future, the development of programming methodologies and infrastructures where concurrency and distribution are the norm rather than a marginal concern.

** Topics of Interest **

*Design and implementation of programming languages with first class support for concurrency and communication
* Behavioural types, including session types
* Concurrent data types, objects and actors
* Verification and program analysis methods for concurrent and distributed software
* Runtime systems for scalable management of concurrency and resource allocation
* High-level programming abstractions addressing security concerns in concurrent and distributed programming
* Multi- and many-core programming models, including methods for harnessing GPUs and other accelerators
* Memory models for concurrent programming on relaxed-memory architectures
* Integration of sequential and concurrent programming techniques
* Use of message passing in systems software
* Interface languages for communication and distribution 
* Novel programming methodologies for sensor networks 
* Programming language approaches to web services
* Concurrency and communication in event processing and business process management

Lambda Calculus with Types

This handbook with exercises reveals in formalisms, hitherto mainly used
for hardware and software design and verification, unexpected mathematical
beauty. The lambda calculus forms a prototype universal programming
language, which in its untyped version is related to Lisp, and was treated
in the first author's classic The Lambda Calculus (1984). The formalism has
since been extended with types and used in functional programming (Haskell,
Clean) and proof assistants (Coq, Isabelle, HOL), used in designing and
verifying IT products and mathematical proofs.  In this book, the authors
focus on three classes of typing for lambda terms: simple types, recursive
types and intersection types. It is in these three formalisms of terms and
types that the unexpected mathematical beauty is revealed. The treatment is
authoritative and comprehensive, complemented by an exhaustive
bibliography, and numerous exercises are provided to deepen the readers'
understanding and increase their confidence using types.

? Presents three type disciplines using a unified framework
? Reveals many mathematical gems through the simple definitions of terms
and types
? Introduces the reader to applications and includes almost 300 exercises

Co-located with the Vienna Summer of Logic (http://vsl2014.at/)
**********************************************************************

Submission Deadline: April 25, 2014

SCOPE:

The Sixth Working Conference on Verified Software:
Theories, Tools, and Experiments follows a successful inaugural
working conference at Zurich in 2005 followed by
conferences in Toronto (2008), Edinburgh (2010), Philadelphia
(2012), and Atherton (2013). The goal of this conference is to advance
the state of the art in the science and technology of software verification,
through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and
experimental validation.

We welcome submissions describing significant advances in the
production of verified software, i.e., software that has been
proved to meet its functional specifications.  We are
especially interested in submissions describing large-scale
verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory unification,
tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge.  We welcome papers
describing novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification
techniques and technologies.  Topics of interest include education,
requirements modeling, specification languages,
specification/verification case-studies, formal calculi, software
design methods, automatic code generation, refinement methodologies,
compositional analysis, verification tools (e.g., static analysis, dynamic
analysis, model checking, theorem proving, satisfiability), tool
integration, benchmarks, challenge problems, and integrated
verification environments.


PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the
Program Committee. We are accepting both long (limited to 16 pages)
and short (limited to 10 pages) paper submissions, written in English.
Short submissions also cover Verification Pearls describing an
elegant proof or proof technique.  Submitted research papers and
system descriptions must be original and not submitted for publication
elsewhere.

Research paper submissions must be in LNCS format and must
include a cogent and self-contained description of the ideas, methods,
results, and comparison to existing work.  Submissions of theoretical,
practical, and experimental contributions are equally encouraged,
including those that focus on specific problems or problem domains.

Papers should be submitted through:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vstte2014.

Submissions that arrive late, are not in the proper format, or are too
long will not be considered.  The post-conference proceedings of VSTTE 2014 will be
published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series.  Authors of accepted
papers will be requested to sign a form transferring copyright of
their contribution to Springer-Verlag.  The use of LaTeX and the Springer
LNCS class files, obtainable fromhttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html,
is strongly encouraged.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
         FIRST INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON BEHAVIOURAL TYPES

                          LOVRAN, CROATIA

                     30th JUNE - 4th JULY 2014

               summerschool2014.behavioural-types.eu

Organized by COST Action IC1201: Behavioural Types for Reliable
Large-Scale Software Systems (BETTY)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Modern society is increasingly dependent on large-scale software
systems that are distributed, collaborative and communication-centred.
Correctness and reliability of such systems depend on compatibility
between components and services that are newly developed or may
already exist. The consequences of failure are severe, including
security breaches and unavailability of essential services. Current
software development technology is not well suited to producing these
large-scale systems, because of the lack of high-level structuring
abstractions for complex communication behaviour.

COST Action IC1201 uses behavioural type theory as the basis for new
foundations, programming languages, and software development methods
for communication-intensive distributed systems. Behavioural type
theory encompasses concepts such as interfaces, communication
protocols, contracts, and choreography. As a unifying structural
principle it has the potential to transform the theory and practice of
distributed software development.

In order to train PhD students and early-career researchers in the
theory and applications of behavioural types, the 1st International
Summer School on Behavioural Types will take place from 30th June to
4th July 2014, in Lovran, Croatia.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission:                     April 18, 2014
Notification of acceptance:     May 30, 2014
Final papers due:               June 25, 2014
Workshop:                       July 18, 2014


BACKGROUND, AIM AND SCOPE

Computer security is an established field of computer science of both
theoretical and practical significance. In recent years, there has been
sustained interest in logic-based foundations for various methods in
computer security, including the formal specification, analysis, and
design of cryptographic protocols and their applications; the formal
definition of various aspects of security such as access control
mechanisms, mobile code security and denial-of-service attacks; and the
modeling of information flow and its application to confidentiality
policies, system composition, and covert channel analysis. 

The aim of the FCS-FCC 2014 workshop is to provide a forum for continued
activity in this area. Historically, FCS has contributed to bringing
computer security researchers in closer contact with the LICS community,
and given LICS attendees an opportunity to talk to experts in computer
security. FCC, traditionally affiliated with CSF, provides a dedicated
venue to present recent advances in the field of computationally-sound
cryptographic protocol analysis. Both these areas---logical foundations
and protocol analysis---are of interest to large subsets of the CSF
community.

We are interested both in new results in theories of computer security
and also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions
and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories, as well as in
new results on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques
and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security
protocols. We thus solicit submissions of papers both on mature work and
on work in progress.


SUBMISSION

All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Authors of accepted papers must
guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop.

FCS-FCC 2014 welcomes two kinds of submissions:
* short abstracts (1 page, including references and appendices), and
* full papers (at most 12 pages, excluding references and well-marked 
appendices).

Short abstracts will receive as rigorous review as do full papers. Short
abstracts may receive shorter talk slots at the workshop than do full
papers, depending on the number of accepted submissions. Papers should
be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style available for
various document preparation systems at the IEEE Conference Publishing
Services page.

Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically, as portable
document format (pdf); please, do not send files formatted for word
processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files). 
Papers must be submitted at the following site: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fcsfcc2014


INFORMAL PROCEEDINGS

The workshop has no published proceedings. Presenting a paper at the
workshop should not preclude submission to or publication in other
venues. The papers presented at the workshop will be made publicly
available, but this will not constitute an official proceedings.

========================================================================

Biological systems are complex systems whose modeling
requires a dramatic change in paradigms that has seen
reductionism challenged by holism and
Systems Biology a stimulating field to let evolve
the science of Complex Systems as a convergent
branch (a sort of hyperedge) of Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics.

The aim of this workshop is to gather researchers interested in the
convergence
of Computer Science, Biology and the Life Sciences. In particular, in this
5th edition, we solicit the contribution of original results, from any
research
areas, such as Mathematics, Physics, Complex Systems, and
Computational Science that address both theoretical aspects
of modelling and applied work on the comprehension of biological
behaviour. Furthermore, to facilitate the integration of different research
areas
we encourage the presentation of main objectives and preliminary results of
active projects on the CS2Bio topics conducted by interdisciplinary teams.


*** SCOPE ***

Papers selected for presentation at CS2Bio should either present the
modelling of a specific biological phenomenon using formal techniques, or
a modelling, simulation, testing or verification approach in computer
science that leads to a novel and promising application to a range of
biological or medical systems. In the latter case, some emphasis on
the scope and scalability of the approach will be required. The
workshop intends to attract researchers interested in models,
verification, tools, and programming primitives concerning the complex
interactions encountered. In general, topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:


- Formal Biological Modelling
  - Formal methods for the representation of biological systems and
    their dynamics;
  - Theoretical links and comparisons between different formal models
    for the modelling of biological processes;
  - Quantitative (probabilistic, timed, stochastic, etc.) languages
    and calculi;
  - Spatial (geometrical, topological) languages and calculi;
  - Prediction of biological behaviour from incomplete information;
  - Model checking, abstract interpretation, type systems, etc.

- Novel Computational Paradigms for Understanding Biological Complex
  Systems
  - Quantum information and life sciences;
  - Computational topology and biomathematics;
  - Information processing and biomedicine;
  - Statistical mechanics and biophysics;
  - Complex Networks and biomolecular dynamics

- Tools and Simulations
  - Modelling, analysis and simulation tools for systems biology;
  - Emergence of properties in complex biological and medical systems;
  - Tools for parallel, distributed, and multi-resolution simulation
    methods;
  - Detailed biological case-studies.


*** INVITED SPEAKERS ***

*** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ***

We solicit three kinds of contributions:
  - Regular papers: must report previously unpublished work and not be
    submitted concurrently to another conference with
    refereed proceedings (limited to 14 pages).
  - Tool presentations: describing new tools or platforms for the
    modelling of biological systems (limited to 14 pages).
  - Dissemination of project results: concern recent or ongoing work
    on topics relevant to CS2Bio and are intended to provide discussion
    and stimulate feedback during the workshop. The focus of a
    dissemination should be put on the main objectives and preliminary
    results of active projects on topics relevant to the workshop. There
    are no restrictions about previous or future publication of the
    contents of a dissemination, it could also be based on a recently

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Position announcement in Aix-Marseille university
Message-ID: <20140214231202.GD29150@garbure.info>

A permanent position of "ma?tre de conf?rences" (more or less equivalent
to associate professor, or senior lecturer) in mathematics is opened at
Aix-Marseille university.

The hired candidate will work in the newly founded Institut de
math?matiques de Marseille[1] and is expected to do research in discrete
mathematics, preferably in logic and computation, information theory or
number theory.

The logic group here[2] was founded by Girard and has a strong
background in the subjects of proof theory central to the
proofs-as-programs paradigm: lambda-calculus, linear logic, denotational
semantics, etc. It is also active in, e.g., rewriting and homotopy,
applications to linguistics, implicit complexity, classical
realisability, concurrency and process algebras. To get a good idea of
the wider interests of the team and of its collaborations, you can have
look at the programme of the Logic and interactions 2012 conference[3].
The profile is broad and we will welcome interesting additions to the
research directions of the team.

Teaching will be in the mathematics department: fluency in french is required,
and experience in teaching mathematics is welcome.

More information is available in the announcement[4]. Also be aware that
applicants for a permanent university position in France have to hold a
so-called "qualification".

Candidates with a "logic and computation" profile are invited to contact
Laurent Regnier <regnier at iml.univ-mrs.fr>.

Best regards,
Lionel Vaux.

The 32nd CREST Open Workshop: Software Engineering for Systems Developed in Functional Languages

Date:  24th - 25th March 2014

Venue: University College London, UK

Through the kind support of the EPSRC in the form of a platform grant, we have funding to support the workshops, so registration is free (but there is a charge for registering and then *not* attending, since places are limited). Registration includes lunch on both days and light refreshments. 


Overview:
Functional programming has become a mature practical tool for software development. Large complex functional programs require many of the software engineering techniques developed for other languages and paradigms, such as testing, slicing and refactoring. Some of these techniques, originally designed for imperative languages, such as amorphous slicing and refactoring may prove highly amendable to functional styles of programming. This workshop will bring together software engineers and functional programmers to concentrate on aspects of software engineering that can be extended, adapted and augmented for application to functional programs.

5 PhD Positions in Formal Methods, Functional Programming, and Information
and Software/Web Security at the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

Application deadline: March 31, 2014

Expected starting date of positions: September 1, 2014

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Job description*

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University
of Technology invites applications for PhD positions in Formal
Methods/Automated Reasoning,
Functional Programming, and Information and Software/Web Security, as
follows:

-----------------------------
* 1 PhD position in Formal Methods:

The PhD student will join the Formal Methods group and contribute to its
research on improving the quality of complex software systems. The Formal
Methods group of Chalmers is an internationally recognised research group
with a high-profile research track record and an excellent network of
collaborators. The group's research focus is in the theoretical and
practical aspects of formal software verification, including automated
reasoning, interactive theorem proving, runtime verification, and test
generation. Together with international collaborators, the group members
co-developed widely recognised verification tools like KeY (
www.key-project.org), Vampire (http://vprover.org), ALIGATOR (
mtc.epfl.ch/software-tools/Aligator), and LARVA.

The research of the advertised PhD position will be in the area of Software
Verification, with a strong focus on the creative use and development of
automated reasoning techniques for software verification.  In particular,
we are interested in designing and combining new methods in automated
first-order theorem proving, satisfiability modulo theory solvers, symbolic
computation, and program analysis for the generation and verification of
complex program properties, such as invariants, interpolants, pre- and
post-conditions.

Background in one or more of the following areas is expected: logic, formal
methods, formal verification.

This position will be supervised by Prof. Laura Kovacs in the frame of her
recently granted junior researcher project by the Swedish Research Council.
Laura Kovacs is the main developer of the ALIGATOR tool and the
co-developer of the world-leading theorem prover Vampire for applications
of program analysis and verification.

-----------------------------
* 1 PhD Position in Functional Programming

The PhD student will join the Chalmers Functional Programming (FP) Group,
one of the leading groups in the field. The Chalmers FP Group has a strong
interest in Embedded Domain Specific Languages, beginning with their work
on Lava for hardware design. The focus of the advertised position is on
returning to the problem of how to use Functional Programming to support
hardware design and deterministic parallel programming.

We are particularly interested in the implementation of cryptographic
algorithms. Our favoured platform is the open source Parallella board from
Adapteva (http://www.adapteva.com/parallella-board/), which combines Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), two ARM cores and 16 or 64 cores connected
in a grid. This small board promises high performance, low power computing,
but the question of how best to program it is an interesting one. The new
PhD student will work on the use of Functional Programming to enable
programming of such highly parallel heterogeneous systems.

The ideal candidate for the position in Functional Programming will have a
strong background in functional programming and at least one of hardware
design and parallel programming.

The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Mary Sheeran, who has long
pioneered the combination of hardware design and functional programming,
particularly working with her former students Koen Claessen and Satnam
Singh. The work will be closely connected to the SSF funded project on
Productivity and Performance through Resource Aware Functional Programming (
http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~ms/SSF10Final.pdf).

-----------------------------

* 1 PhD Position in Information Security

The PhD student will join the Chalmers Information Security group, working
in the area of information and communication security with a focus on
authentication problems in constrained settings. This is particularly
important for applications involving mobile phones, wireless communication
and RFID systems, which suffer from restrictions in terms of power
resources, network connectivity, computational capabilities, as well as
potential privacy issues. The overall aim of the announced PhD position
will be to develop nearly optimal algorithms for achieving security and
privacy while minimising resource use.

More concretely, part of the research will involve the analysis and
development of authentication protocols in specific settings. This will
include investigating resistance of both existing and novel protocols
against different types of attacks, theoretically and experimentally. In
addition to investigating established settings, such as RFID
authentication, the research will also explore more general authentication
problems, such as those that arise in the context of trust in social
networks, smartphone applications and collaborative data processing. This
will be done by grounding the work in a generalised decision-making
framework. The project should result in the development of theory and
authentication mechanisms for noisy, constrained settings that strike an
optimal balance between reliable authentication, privacy-preservation and
resource consumption.

Experience in one or more of cryptography, probability and statistics,
decision and game theory are beneficial. Mathematical maturity is essential.

The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Katerina Mitrokotsa and will
have the chance to collaborate with well-known researchers in the area of
information security. Some previous research related to this research
project can be found here: http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~aikmitr/ . Katerina
Mitrokotsa's research is currently funded by the European Commission and
the Chalmers ICT Areas of advance.

---------------------------------

* 2 PhD Positions in Software/Web Security

The PhD students will join a world-leading team of researchers on software
security. Software is often the root cause of vulnerabilities in modern
computing systems such as the web. By focusing on securing the software, we
target principled security mechanisms that provide robust protection
against large classes of attacks. The focus of the advertised positions is
on the following directions of work:

- To design rich security policies for confidentiality, integrity and
availability, as demanded by practical applications (such as web and mobile
applications).

- To develop practical enforcement mechanisms for these policies in
expressive programming languages (such as web and mobile languages). These
enforcement mechanisms may combine static (for example, static program
analysis-based) and dynamic (for example, run-time execution
monitoring-based) techniques.

- To support the above with case studies in web-application security. In
pursuing these goals, there are possibilities for collaboration with our
high-profile academic and industrial partners. We run a number of ambitious
projects with top international partners in academia and industry,
including the European project WebSand on web application security:
https://www.websand.eu/

These positions will be supervised by Prof. Andrei Sabelfeld, recipient of
a number of recent awards, including SSF Advancement of Research Leaders
award (2008), Chalmers Research Supervisor of the Year (2010), and ERC
Starter/Consolidator (2012). Promotional video about the team's research on
securing web applications: http://vimeo.com/82206652

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Details about Employment*

PhD student positions are limited to five years and normally include 20 per
cent departmental work, mostly teaching duties.  Salary for the position is
as specified in Chalmers' general agreement for PhD student positions.
 Currently the starting salary is 26,250SEK a month before tax.  The
positions are intended to start in fall 2014.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Suitable Background*

Applicants should have a Master's Degree or corresponding degree in
Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or in a related discipline.  As for
all PhD studies, a genuine interest and curiosity in the subject matter and
excellent analytical and communication skills, both oral and written, are
needed.

Message-ID: <945FEE280EE9864F95ECF2B2AF8C62C83C735A@grunt.ita.chalmers.se>

5 PhD Positions in Formal Methods, Functional Programming, and Information and Software/Web Security at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

Application deadline: March 31, 2014

Expected starting date of positions: September 1, 2014

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Job description*

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology invites applications for PhD positions in Formal Methods/Automated Reasoning,
Functional Programming, and Information and Software/Web Security, as follows:

-----------------------------
* 1 PhD position in Formal Methods:

The PhD student will join the Formal Methods group and contribute to its research on improving the quality of complex software systems. The Formal Methods group of Chalmers is an internationally recognised research group with a high-profile research track record and an excellent network of collaborators. The group's research focus is in the theoretical and practical aspects of formal software verification, including automated reasoning, interactive theorem proving, runtime verification, and test generation. Together with international collaborators, the group members co-developed widely recognised verification tools like KeY (www.key-project.org), Vampire (http://vprover.org), ALIGATOR (mtc.epfl.ch/software-tools/Aligator), and LARVA.

The research of the advertised PhD position will be in the area of Software Verification, with a strong focus on the creative use and development of automated reasoning techniques for software verification.  In particular, we are interested in designing and combining new methods in automated first-order theorem proving, satisfiability modulo theory solvers, symbolic computation, and program analysis for the generation and verification of complex program properties, such as invariants, interpolants, pre- and post-conditions.

Background in one or more of the following areas is expected: logic, formal methods, formal verification.

This position will be supervised by Prof. Laura Kovacs in the frame of her recently granted junior researcher project by the Swedish Research Council. Laura Kovacs is the main developer of the ALIGATOR tool and the co-developer of the world-leading theorem prover Vampire for applications of program analysis and verification.

-----------------------------
* 1 PhD Position in Functional Programming

The PhD student will join the Chalmers Functional Programming (FP) Group, one of the leading groups in the field. The Chalmers FP Group has a strong interest in Embedded Domain Specific Languages, beginning with their work on Lava for hardware design. The focus of the advertised position is on returning to the problem of how to use Functional Programming to support hardware design and deterministic parallel programming.

We are particularly interested in the implementation of cryptographic algorithms. Our favoured platform is the open source Parallella board from Adapteva (http://www.adapteva.com/parallella-board/), which combines Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), two ARM cores and 16 or 64 cores connected in a grid. This small board promises high performance, low power computing, but the question of how best to program it is an interesting one. The new PhD student will work on the use of Functional Programming to enable programming of such highly parallel heterogeneous systems.

The ideal candidate for the position in Functional Programming will have a strong background in functional programming and at least one of hardware design and parallel programming.

The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Mary Sheeran, who has long pioneered the combination of hardware design and functional programming, particularly working with her former students Koen Claessen and Satnam Singh. The work will be closely connected to the SSF funded project on Productivity and Performance through Resource Aware Functional Programming (http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~ms/SSF10Final.pdf).

-----------------------------

* 1 PhD Position in Information Security

The PhD student will join the Chalmers Information Security group, working in the area of information and communication security with a focus on authentication problems in constrained settings. This is particularly important for applications involving mobile phones, wireless communication and RFID systems, which suffer from restrictions in terms of power resources, network connectivity, computational capabilities, as well as potential privacy issues. The overall aim of the announced PhD position will be to develop nearly optimal algorithms for achieving security and privacy while minimising resource use.

More concretely, part of the research will involve the analysis and development of authentication protocols in specific settings. This will include investigating resistance of both existing and novel protocols against different types of attacks, theoretically and experimentally. In addition to investigating established settings, such as RFID authentication, the research will also explore more general authentication problems, such as those that arise in the context of trust in social networks, smartphone applications and collaborative data processing. This will be done by grounding the work in a generalised decision-making framework. The project should result in the development of theory and authentication mechanisms for noisy, constrained settings that strike an optimal balance between reliable authentication, privacy-preservation and resource consumption.

Experience in one or more of cryptography, probability and statistics, decision and game theory are beneficial. Mathematical maturity is essential.

The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Katerina Mitrokotsa and will have the chance to collaborate with well-known researchers in the area of information security. Some previous research related to this research project can be found here: http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~aikmitr/ . Katerina Mitrokotsa's research is currently funded by the European Commission and the Chalmers ICT Areas of advance.

---------------------------------

* 2 PhD Positions in Software/Web Security

The PhD students will join a world-leading team of researchers on software security. Software is often the root cause of vulnerabilities in modern computing systems such as the web. By focusing on securing the software, we target principled security mechanisms that provide robust protection against large classes of attacks. The focus of the advertised positions is on the following directions of work:

- To design rich security policies for confidentiality, integrity and availability, as demanded by practical applications (such as web and mobile applications).

- To develop practical enforcement mechanisms for these policies in expressive programming languages (such as web and mobile languages). These enforcement mechanisms may combine static (for example, static program analysis-based) and dynamic (for example, run-time execution monitoring-based) techniques.

- To support the above with case studies in web-application security. In pursuing these goals, there are possibilities for collaboration with our high-profile academic and industrial partners. We run a number of ambitious projects with top international partners in academia and industry, including the European project WebSand on web application security: https://www.websand.eu/

These positions will be supervised by Prof. Andrei Sabelfeld, recipient of a number of recent awards, including SSF Advancement of Research Leaders award (2008), Chalmers Research Supervisor of the Year (2010), and ERC Starter/Consolidator (2012). Promotional video about the team's research on securing web applications: http://vimeo.com/82206652

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Details about Employment*

PhD student positions are limited to five years and normally include 20 per cent departmental work, mostly teaching duties.  Salary for the position is as specified in Chalmers' general agreement for PhD student positions.  Currently the starting salary is 26,250SEK a month before tax.  The positions are intended to start in fall 2014.

================================================================
Track Calculemus: Symbolic Computation and Mechanised Reasoning
================================================================

Calculemus   2014  invites   the  submission   of   original  research
contributions to be considered for publication and presentation at the
conference.  Calculemus  is a series  of conferences dedicated  to the
integration  of  computer  algebra   systems  (CAS)  and  systems  for
mechanised  reasoning  like   interactive  proof  assistants  (PA)  or
automated theorem  provers (ATP).  Currently,  symbolic computation is
divided into several (more  or less) independent branches: traditional
ones  (e.g., computer  algebra and  mechanised reasoning)  as  well as
newly emerging ones (on  user interfaces, knowledge management, theory
exploration, etc.) The main concern  of the Calculemus community is to
bring these  developments together in order to  facilitate the theory,
design,  and  implementation   of  integrated  mathematical  assistant
systems  that  will  be  used routinely  by  mathematicians,  computer
scientists and  all others who need  computer-supported mathematics in
their every day business.

All  topics  in  the  intersection  of computer  algebra  systems  and
automated  reasoning systems  are  of interest  for Calculemus.  These
include but are not limited to:

* Automated theorem proving in computer algebra systems.
* Computer algebra in theorem proving systems.
* Adding reasoning capabilities to computer algebra systems.
* Adding computational capabilities to theorem proving systems.
* Theory, design and implementation of interdisciplinary systems for
  computer mathematics.
* Case studies and applications that involve a mix of computation and
  reasoning.
* Case studies in formalization of mathematical theories.
* Representation of mathematics in computer algebra systems.
* Theory exploration techniques.
* Combining methods of symbolic computation and formal deduction.
* Input languages, programming languages, types and constraint languages,
  and modeling languages for mathematical assistant systems.
* Homotopy type theory.
* Infrastructure for mathematical services.

================================================================
Track DML: Digital Mathematical Libraries
================================================================

Mathematicians  dream of  a digital  archive containing  all validated
mathematical literature ever published, reviewed, properly linked, and
verified.   It is  estimated that  the entire  corpus  of mathematical
knowledge  published over  the centuries  does not  exceed 100,000,000
pages,   an   amount   easily   manageable  by   current   information
technologies.

The  track objective  is to  provide a  forum for  the  development of
math-aware  technologies, standards,  algorithms and  formats  for the
fulfillment  of the  dream of  a global  digital  mathematical library
(DML).  Computer scientists (D) and  librarians of the digital age (L)
are  especially welcome to  join mathematicians  (M) and  discuss many
aspects of DML preparation.

Track topics  are all topics of mathematical  knowledge management and
digital libraries applicable in the context of DML building, including
the  processing  of  mathematical  knowledge expressed  in  scientific
papers in natural languages:

* Math-aware text mining (math mining) and MSC classification
* Math-aware representations of mathematical knowledge
* Math-aware computational linguistics and corpora
* Math-aware tools for [meta]data and fulltext processing
* Math-aware OCR and document analysis
* Math-aware information retrieval
* Math-aware indexing and search
* Authoring languages and tools
* MathML, OpenMath, TeX and other mathematical content markup
  languages
* Web interfaces for DML content
* Mathematics on the web, math crawling and indexing
* Math-aware document processing workflows
* Archives of written mathematics
* DML management, business models
* DML rights handling, funding, sustainability
* DML content acquisition, validation and curation
* Reports and experience from running existing DMLs

================================================================
Track MKM: Mathematical Knowledge Management
================================================================

Mathematical  Knowledge Management  is an  interdisciplinary  field of
research in the intersection of mathematics, computer science, library
science, and scientific publishing. The objective of MKM is to develop

                       Submission Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------

Electronic submission is done through Easychair

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cicm2014

All papers should be prepared  in LaTeX and formatted according to the
requirements of Springer's LNCS  series (the corresponding style files
can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
By submitting  a paper  the authors  agree that if  it is  accepted at
least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it.

Submissions  to the research  tracks (Calculemus,  DML, MKM)  must not
exceed 15 pages  in the LNCS style and will  be reviewed and evaluated
with respect to relevance,  clarity, quality, originality, and impact.
Shorter papers,  e.g., for  system descriptions, are  welcome. Authors
will have  an opportunity to  respond to their papers'  reviews before
the programme committee makes a decision.


System descriptions  and projects descriptions should be  2-4 pages in
the LNCS style and should present

* newly developed systems,
* systems not previously been presented to the CICM community, or
* significant updates to existing systems.

Systems must either be  available for download or currently executable
by the general public as a web application.

Project presentations should describe

* projects that are new or about to start,
* ongoing projects that have not yet been presented to the CICM community or
* significant new developments in ongoing previously presented projects.

Presentations of  new projects  should mention relevant  previous work
and  include  a roadmap  that  outlines  concrete  steps. All  project
submissions must have a live  project website and should contain links
to demos, videos, downloadable systems or downloadable datasets.

Accepted conference submissions from all tracks will be published as a
volume in  the series Lecture Notes in  Artificial Intelligence (LNAI)
by  Springer. In  addition to  these formal  proceedings,  authors are
permitted and encouraged to publish the final versions of their papers
on arXiv.org.

Work-in-progress submissions  are intended to provide a  forum for the
presentation of original  work that is not yet in  a suitable form for
submission as a full paper for a research track or system description.
This includes work in progress  and emerging trends. Their size is not
limited, but we recommend 5-10 pages.

The  programme   committee  may  offer  authors   of  rejected  formal
submissions  the   opportunity  to  publish   their  contributions  as
work-in-progress   papers  instead.   Depending  on   the   number  of
work-in-progress  papers  accepted,  they  will be  presented  at  the
conference either  as short talks or as  posters. The work-in-progress
proceedings will be published as a technical report, as well as online
with CEUR-WS.org.

			  Doctoral Programme
----------------------------------------------------------------

Chair: David Wilson (University of Bath, UK)

CICM  is  an  excellent  opportunity  for graduate  students  to  meet
established researchers from the  areas of computer algebra, automated
deduction, and mathematical publishing.

The Doctoral Programme provides a  dedicated forum for PhD students to
present  and discuss  their ideas,  ongoing or  planned  research, and
achieved  results   in  an  open   atmosphere.  It  will   consist  of
presentations  by  the  PhD  students to  get  constructive  feedback,
advice, and suggestions from the research advisory board, researchers,
and  other PhD  students.  Each PhD  student  will be  assigned to  an
experienced researcher  from the research advisory board  who will act
as a mentor and who will provide detailed feedback and advice on their
intended and ongoing research.


Students at  any stage of  their PhD can  apply and should  submit the
following documents through EasyChair:

* A  two-page  abstract  of   your  thesis  describing  your  research
  questions,  research   plans,  completed  and   remaining  research,
  evaluation plans and publication plans;

* A   two-page  CV   that  includes   background   information  (name,
  university,  supervisor), education  (degree sought,  year/status of
  degree, previous degrees), employments, relevant research experience
  (publications,  presentations,  attended  conferences or  workshops,
  etc.)

Submission Deadline: 28 April 2014.

			  CALL FOR PAPERS -- SETS 2014

********************************************************************************
	  1st International Workshop about Sets and Tools (SETS 2014)
			 June 2, 2014, Toulouse, France
			     Affiliated to ABZ 2014
			    http://sets2014.cnam.fr/
********************************************************************************

AIM

Sets and constructs built upon them like relations, functions, sequences are
the main modeling ingredients of formalisms such as VDM, Z, B, or Event-B.
Sets also occur in the formalization of mathematics, as evidenced by the large
library of the Mizar proof system for example. In addition, still in the
domain of theorem proving, there is an increasing interest to automate set
theory (which is known to be a difficult problem), with some concrete
realizations, such as mp (the "main prover" of Atelier B) or Muscadet (an
automated theorem prover for natural deduction, which gives some good
performances in set theory). Sets are also the main features of some
programming languages like the former SetL language or the more recent {log}
language (pronounced as setlog).

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers interested in set theory,
especially to design tools for dealing with set theory, such as interactive or
automated theorem provers, proof checkers, theories for general purpose proof
tools, constraint solvers, programming languages etc. These tools may be
dedicated or general purpose tools. Contributions by theoreticians working on
set theories or fragments of set theories in the aim of designing concrete
tools, and by practitioners using set-based tools are both welcome. We are
also interested by contributions providing some comparisons between set
modeling techniques and other formalisms, such as type theory (and variants)
for instance. Finally, regarding the domains of application, we mainly expect
contributions in the framework of formal methods, but not exhaustively, and
contributions reporting formalizations of mathematics using set theory for
example could be of interest for this workshop as well.

TOPICS

Topics of interest for this workshop include all aspects of set theory and
corresponding tools. More specifically, some suggested topics are:

 * Proof tools for sets
 * Constraint solvers for sets
 * Set-based programming languages
 * Automated deduction in set theory
 * Set theories for SMT solvers
 * Encoding of sets in provers
 * Use of set-based tools in formal methods
 * Use of set-based tools in mathematics
 * Comparison of set-based tools
 * Comparison between set and type theories
 * Experience reports

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

Submitted papers must be 6-15 pages in length, following the Springer LNCS
format. These submissions may be:

 * Research papers providing new concepts and results
 * Position papers and research perspectives
 * Experience reports
 * Tool presentations

Proceedings, including all the papers selected for the workshop, will be
available electronically at the workshop. No copyright transfer agreement will
be required from the authors. For this first edition of this workshop, we
would like to put the emphasis on discussions rather than on conventional
publications.

- Keynote speakers: V?ronique Cortier (CNRS, France) and Catuscia Palamidessi (INRIA Saclay and LIX, France)
- Deadline for abstract submission: May 2 2014

The TGC series focuses on providing frameworks, tools, algorithms, and protocols for rigorously designing, verifying, and implementing open-ended, large-scaled applications. The related models of computation incorporate code and data mobility over distributed networks that connect heterogeneous devices and have dynamically changing topologies.

We solicit papers in all areas of global computing, including (but not limited to):

- languages, semantic models, and abstractions
- security, trust, and reliability
- privacy and information flow policies
- algorithms and protocols
- resource management
- model checking, theorem proving, and static analysis
- tool support

Submission instructions

Contributions must be in PostScript or PDF format and consist of no more than 15 pages in the Springer's LNCS style. Clearly marked appendices may include additional details and proofs omitted due to space limitations.

Submitted papers must describe work unpublished in refereed venues, and not submitted for publication elsewhere, with the exception of CONCUR. Concurrent submissions to CONCUR 2014 and TGC 2014 are allowed, and in fact encouraged, for those papers that may potentially enhance both conferences. Authors of such double submissions should flag them to the program chairs at the time of submission (by choosing the ?Regular Paper submitted to CONCUR? paper category). Reviews may be shared between CONCUR and TGC. CONCUR's timeline is ahead of TGC's; submissions accepted by CONCUR will be considered automatically withdrawn from TGC.

We plan to publish post-proceedings shortly after the conference, to give the authors the opportunity to take into account discussions and suggestions at the conference.

The post-proceedings will appear as a volume in Springer?s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Paris, France, from 12 to 15 May 2014.

The TYPES Meeting is a forum to present new and on-going work in all
aspects of type theory and its applications, especially in formalized
and computer assisted reasoning and computer programming.

Invited speakers:

* Thierry Coquand
* Xavier Leroy
* Andy Pitts

We invite all researchers to contribute talks on subjects related to
the Types area of interest. These include, but are not limited to:

* Foundations of type theory and constructive mathematics;
* Homotopy type theory;
* Applications of type theory;
* Dependently typed programming;
* Industrial uses of type theory technology;
* Meta-theoretic studies of type systems;
* Proof assistants and proof technology;
* Automation in computer-assisted reasoning;
* Links between type theory and functional programming;
* Formalizing mathematics using type theory.

We would like to especially encourage talks proposing new ways of
applying type theory.

The talks may be based on newly published papers, work submitted for
publication, but also work in progress. There are no formal
pre-proceedings, but we will make available the abstract book for the
conference.

TYPES has post-proceedings which will be announced in a separate call
for papers. Participation in TYPES 2014 is no prerequisite for
submission to the post-proceedings.

TYPES 2014 is intended to be a conference in our traditional workshop
style. We expect submission of short abstracts that fit on one or two
pages, presenting in sufficient detail the content of the talk and its
relevance for TYPES, as judged by the program committee.

Submission for a contributed talk consists in a short LaTeX abstract
in EasyChair style that fits on one or two pages to be included in the
abstract book. The submission site is
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=types2014 .
Please announce your intention to submit an abstract by first
submitting a title one week in advance.

Two PhD positions are  available in the "Verification" team in LIAFA, 
Paris.


*Subject 1: Software  verification**
**------------------------------------------*

The subject of the thesis is about   concurrent programs verification.
The PhD student is expected to investigate and develop novel 
techniques,  algorithms and tools for
the analysis of  software.

Indeed, nowadays, software is everywhere: in telecommunication, in 
navigation, in nuclear plants, etc.
The tasks that software deal with  are becoming more and more complex 
and critical, in the sense that any
small error can cause huge human and/or economical damages. Therefore,  
it is crucial to be sure that
a software does not contain any error before using it.   Programmers 
need then to have rigorous
formal mathematical techniques that allow to verify and check their 
programs.
Unfortunately, programs present several complex features that make their 
analysis very complex:
concurrency,  synchronisation, recursion, procedure calls, pointers, 
manipulation of integer and real variables, etc.
Thus, the objective of this thesis is to develop new techniques for 
software model-checking that can deal with all these complex features.




*Subject 2: Model-checking for malware detection*
*-----------------------------------------------------------------*

The  topic  of the thesis is the development of  new original 
model-checking and static analysis
  techniques for malware detection.  Indeed, the number of malwares is 
growing extraordinarily fast.
Therefore, it is important to have efficient  malware detectors.
To identify viruses, existing antivirus systems  use either  code 
emulation or signature (pattern) detection.
These techniques have some limitations. Indeed, emulation based 
techniques can only check the
  program's behavior in a limited time interval, whereas signature based 
systems are easy to get around.
To sidestep these limitations, instead of executing the program or 
making a syntactic check over it,
  virus detectors  need to use analysis techniques that check the 
/*behavior*/ (not the syntax) of the program in a /*static*/ way, i.e. 
without executing it.
Towards this aim, we propose in this thesis  to develop new 
/*model-checking*/ and /*static analysis */ techniques for virus detection.


*How to apply:**
**==========*
The positions are available immediately. Candidates must have a master 
in computer science.
The candidate must send a CV, university grades, recommendation letters, 
and a motivation letter to Tayssir TOUILI

Message-ID: <917DCFDB-7386-475B-BCD2-A5AE979FF2CA@math.nagoya-u.ac.jp>

===============================================================
APLAS 2014
    12th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems
    http://www.math.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/APLAS2014/

    17-19 November 2014, Singapore

    CALL FOR PAPERS
===============================================================

==========
BACKGROUND
==========

APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a
forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas
in programming languages and systems.  APLAS is based in Asia, but is
an international forum that serves the worldwide programming language
community.

APLAS is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software
(AAFS) founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many researchers
from Europe and the USA.  Past APLAS symposiums were successfully held
in Melbourne ('13), Kyoto ('12), Kenting ('11), Shanghai ('10), Seoul
('09), Bangalore ('08), Singapore ('07), Sydney ('06), Tsukuba ('05),
Taipei ('04) and Beijing ('03) after three informal workshops.
Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer's LNCS.

======
TOPICS
======

The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues in
programming languages and systems.  Papers are solicited on topics such
as
* semantics, logics, foundational theory;
* design of languages, type systems and foundational calculi;
* domain-specific languages;
* compilers, interpreters, abstract machines;
* program derivation, synthesis and transformation;
* program analysis, verification, model-checking;
* logic, constraint, probabilistic and quantum programming;
* software security;
* concurrency and parallelism;
* tools and environments for programming and implementation.

Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums.
Papers identifying future directions of programming and those
addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms
are especially welcome.  Demonstration of systems and tools in the
scope of APLAS are welcome to the System and Tool presentations
category.  Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic
are welcome to consult with the program chair prior to submission.

==========
SUBMISSION
==========

We solicit submissions in two categories:

*Regular research papers* describing original scientific research
results, including tool development and case studies.  Regular
research papers should not exceed 18 pages in the Springer LNCS
format, including bibliography and figures.  They should clearly
identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant.
Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance,
correctness, originality, and clarity.  In case of lack of space,
proofs, experimental results, or any information supporting the
technical results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a
link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them.

*System and Tool presentations* describing systems or tools that support
theory, program construction, reasoning, or program execution in the
scope of APLAS.  System and Tool presentations are expected to be
centered around a demonstration.  The paper and the demonstration
should identify the novelties of the tools and use motivating
examples.  System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages in the
Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures.  Submissions
will be judged based on both the papers and the described systems or
tools.  It is highly desirable that the tools are available on the
web.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2014

Acceptable formats are PostScript or PDF.  Submitted papers must be
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere.  Papers must
be written in English.  The proceedings will be published as a volume
in Springer's LNCS series.  Accepted papers must be presented at the
conference.

Message-ID: <53071478.4010802@uni-bremen.de>


                      SYNT 2014 - Call For Papers

                       3rd Workshop on Synthesis

                    Vienna, Austria, July 23-24, 2014

                         http://vsl2014.at/synt

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The idea of synthesis, i.e., the process of automatically computing
implementations from their specifications, has recently gained a lot
of momentum in the contexts of software engineering and reactive
system design. While it is widely believed that, due to complexity/
undecidability issues, synthesis cannot completely replace manual
engineering, it can assist the process of designing the intricate
pieces of code that most programmers find challenging, or help with
orchestrating tasks in reactive environments.

This workshop aims at bringing together and providing an open
platform for researchers interested in synthesis. Research on
synthesis exists well alongside conferences on formal methods and
verification, such as CAV, which aim at improving the reliability of
systems. Driven by the vast potential for practical applications of
synthesis, we aim at fostering scientific exchange not only within the
areas of software and reactive synthesis, but also between them.

SYNT 2014 is a satellite event of CAV 2014 and will take place in the
scope of the Vienna Summer of Logic (VSL) 2014.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* algorithms and tools for software synthesis and reactive (discrete-
   time, timed, hybrid, ...) synthesis
* specification languages and optimization in synthesis
* complexity and impossibility results for synthesis
* case studies of software or hardware synthesis
* connections between verification and synthesis

----------------------------------------------------------------------

We welcome scientific contributions of the following forms:
* regular papers (max. 15 pages in EPTCS style, excluding references)
* tool papers (max. 7 pages in EPTCS style, excluding references)

Submitted regular and tool papers must be original and unpublished.
Papers accepted for presentation at the workshop will appear in the
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science series; hence,
submissions must be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS macro package.
Given sufficient interest, extended versions of selected papers will
appear in a special issue of the journal Acta Informatica.

Paper submission deadline is April 15, 2014.

                        FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
                        
         8th International Verification Workshop (VERIFY?14)
              in connection with IJCAR 2014 at FLoC 2014
                  July 23?24, 2014, Vienna, Austria

                       http://vsl2014.at/verify


The formal  verification of  critical information  systems has  a long
tradition  as one  of  the  main areas  of  application for  automated
theorem proving. Nevertheless, the area is of still growing importance
as the number of computers  affecting everyday life and the complexity
of  these systems  are  both  increasing. The  purpose  of the  VERIFY
workshop  series is  to  discuss problems  arising  during the  formal
modeling and  verification of  information systems and  to investigate
suitable solutions.  Possible perspectives include those  of automated
theorem proving, tool support, system engineering, and applications.

The VERIFY  workshop series aims  at bringing together people  who are
interested in the development of safety and security critical systems,
in formal  methods, in  the development  of automated  theorem proving
techniques,  and  in  the   development  of  tool  support.  Practical
experiences gained in  realistic verifications are of  interest to the
automated theorem proving community and new theorem proving techniques
should  be transferred  into practice.  The overall  objective of  the
VERIFY workshops is to identify  open problems and to discuss possible
solutions under the theme

What are the verification problems? What are the deduction techniques?

The 2014 edition of VERIFY aims for extending the verification methods
for processes implemented in hard-  and software to processes that may
well include computer-assistance, but have  a large part or a frequent
interaction  with non-computer-based  process  steps.  Hence the  2014
edition will run under the focus theme

                    Verification Beyond IT Systems

A  non-exclusive list of application areas  with these characteristics
are

       * Ambient assisted living
       * Intelligent home systems and processes
       * Business systems and processes
       * Production logistics systems and processes
       * Transportation logistics
       * Clinical processes
       * Social systems and processes (e.g., voting systems)

The scope of VERIFY includes topics such as

       * ATP techniques in verification
       * Case studies (specification & verification)
       * Combination of verification systems
       * Integration of ATPs and CASE-tools
       * Compositional & modular reasoning
       * Experience reports on using formal methods
       * Gaps between problems & techniques
       * Formal methods for fault tolerance
       * Information flow control security
       * Refinement & decomposition
       * Reliability of mobile computing
       * Reuse of specifications & proofs
       * Management of change
       * Safety-critical systems
       * Security models
       * Tool support for formal methods

Submissions are encouraged in one of the following two categories:

A. Regular  paper:  Submissions  in  this  category  should   describe
   previously unpublished  work (completed or in  progress), including
   descriptions of research, tools,  and applications.  Papers must be
   5-14  pages  long (in  EasyChair  style)  or  6-15 pages  long  (in
   Springer LNCS style).

B. Discussion  papers: Submissions  in this  category are  intended to
   initiate discussions and hence should address controversial issues,
   and may include  provocative statements. Papers must  be 3-14 pages
   long  (in EasyChair  style) or  3-15 pages  long (in  Springer LNCS
   style).

Scope
=====

The TAP conference is devoted to the synergy of proofs and tests,
to the application of techniques from both sides and their combination
for the advancement of software quality.

Testing and proving seem to be orthogonal techniques: once a program
has been proven to be correct then additional testing seems
pointless; however, when such a proof in not feasible, then
testing the program seems to be the only option. This view
has dominated the research community for a long time, and has
resulted in distinct communities pursuing the different
research areas.

The development of both approaches has led to the discovery of
common issues and to the realization of potential synergy.
Perhaps, the use of model checking in testing was one of the
first signs that a counterexample to a proof may be interpreted
as a test case. Recent breakthroughs in deductive techniques
such as satisfiability modulo theories, abstract interpretation,
and interactive theorem proving, have paved the way for new and
practically effective methods of powering testing techniques.
Moreover, since formal, proof-based verification is costly,
testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to
detect errors early and to improve cost effectiveness. Summing up, in
the past few years an increasing number of research efforts have
encountered the need for combining proofs and tests, dropping earlier
dogmatic views of incompatibility and taking instead the best of what
each of these software engineering domains has to offer.

The TAP conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in the converging fields of testing and proving by offering
a generous forum for the presentation of ongoing research,
for tutorials on established technologies and for informal discussions.


Topics of Interest
==================

Topics of interest cover theory definitions, tool constructions and
experimentations, and include (other topics related to TAP are welcome):

- Bridging the gap between concrete and symbolic techniques, e.g. using
   proof search in satisfiability modulo theories solvers to enhance
   various testing techniques
- Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage criteria)
   and from proving to testing
- Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
- Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests
- Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive techniques
   such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic execution,
   constraint logic programming
- Model-based testing and verification
- Generation of specifications by deduction
- Automatic bug finding
- Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis
- Case studies combining tests and proofs
- Domain specific applications of testing and proving to new application
   domains such as validating security protocols, vulnerability detection
   of programs, security
- Testing of verification environments and reasoning engines like solvers
   and theorem provers
- New approaches such as crowd-sourcing and serious games to
   infer intended semantics and assess correctness
- Formal frameworks
- Tool descriptions and experience reports

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission:   May 2
Notification:   June 3
Final papers due:   June 19
Workshop:   July 17

DESCRIPTION: Logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common
substrate for representing, implementing, and reasoning about a wide
variety of deductive systems of interest in logic and computer
science. Their design and implementation on the one hand and their use
in reasoning tasks ranging from the correctness of software to the
properties of formal computational systems on the other hand have been
the focus of considerable research over the last two decades. This
workshop will bring together designers, implementers, and
practitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on the structure
and utility of logical frameworks, including the treatment of variable
binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques and the
expressivity and lucidity of the reasoning process.

TOPICS: LFMTP 2014 will provide researchers a forum to present
state-of-the-art techniques and discuss progress in areas such as the
following:
- Encoding and reasoning about the meta-theory of programming
   languages and related formally specified systems.
- Theoretical and practical issues concerning the treatment of
   variable binding, especially the representation of, and reasoning
   about, datatypes defined from binding signatures.
- Logical treatments of inductive and co-inductive definitions and
   associated reasoning techniques.
- New theory contributions: canonical and substructural frameworks,
   contextual frameworks, proof-theoretic foundations supporting binders,
   functional programming over logical frameworks, homotopy type theory.
- Applications of logical frameworks, e.g., in proof-carrying
   architectures such as proof-carrying authorization.
- Techniques for programming with binders in functional programming
   languages such as Haskell, OCaml, or Agda and logic programming
   languages such as lambda Prolog or Alpha-Prolog.
   with encoding programming languages theory will be particularly
   welcome.

SUBMISSIONS: In addition to regular papers, we also solicit "work in
progress" reports, in a broad sense. Those do not need to report
original or fully polished research results, but should be interesting
for the community at large.

Submitted papers should be in PDF, formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN
style guidelines
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). The
length is restricted to 8 pages, except for "work in progress" papers,
which are restricted to 4 pages.  Submission is via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfmtp2014).

Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the
workshop.

PROCEEDINGS: Accepted regular papers will be included in the
proceedings, which will be published in the ACM International
Conference Proceedings Series, available in the ACM Digital
Library. Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with
their paper (technical appendixes, source code, scripts, test data,
etc.).

Two PhD positions are  available in the "Verification" team in LIAFA, 
Paris.


*Subject 1: Software  verification**
**------------------------------------------*

The subject of the thesis is about   concurrent programs verification.
The PhD student is expected to investigate and develop novel 
techniques,  algorithms and tools for
the analysis of  software.

Indeed, nowadays, software is everywhere: in telecommunication, in 
navigation, in nuclear plants, etc.
The tasks that software deal with  are becoming more and more complex 
and critical, in the sense that any
small error can cause huge human and/or economical damages. Therefore,  
it is crucial to be sure that
a software does not contain any error before using it.   Programmers 
need then to have rigorous
formal mathematical techniques that allow to verify and check their 
programs.
Unfortunately, programs present several complex features that make their 
analysis very complex:
concurrency,  synchronisation, recursion, procedure calls, pointers, 
manipulation of integer and real variables, etc.
Thus, the objective of this thesis is to develop new techniques for 
software model-checking that can deal with all these complex features.




*Subject 2: Model-checking for malware detection*
*-----------------------------------------------------------------*

The  topic  of the thesis is the development of  new original 
model-checking and static analysis
  techniques for malware detection.  Indeed, the number of malwares is 
growing extraordinarily fast.
Therefore, it is important to have efficient  malware detectors.
To identify viruses, existing antivirus systems  use either  code 
emulation or signature (pattern) detection.
These techniques have some limitations. Indeed, emulation based 
techniques can only check the
  program's behavior in a limited time interval, whereas signature based 
systems are easy to get around.
To sidestep these limitations, instead of executing the program or 
making a syntactic check over it,
  virus detectors  need to use analysis techniques that check the 
/*behavior*/ (not the syntax) of the program in a /*static*/ way, i.e. 
without executing it.
Towards this aim, we propose in this thesis  to develop new 
/*model-checking*/ and /*static analysis */ techniques for virus detection.


*How to apply:**
**==========*
The positions are available immediately. Candidates must have a master 
in computer science.
The candidate must send a CV, university grades, recommendation letters, 
and a motivation letter to Tayssir TOUILI

===========================================================


The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international
research and collaboration on logic-based program development. LOPSTR
is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any
language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively,
friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress. Formal
proceedings are produced only after the symposium so that authors can
incorporate this feedback in the published papers.

The 24th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2014) will be held at the University of Kent,
Canterbury, United Kingdom; previous symposia were held in Madrid,
Leuven, Odense, Hagenberg, Coimbra, Valencia, Lyngby, Venice, London,
Verona, Uppsala, Madrid, Paphos, London, Venice, Manchester, Leuven,
Stockholm, Arnhem, Pisa, Louvain-la-Neuve, and Manchester.
LOPSTR 2014 will be co-located with PPDP 2014 (International ACM SIGPLAN
Symposium on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming).

Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program
development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both
programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large. Both full
papers and extended abstracts describing applications in these areas
are especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of
logic-based program development, including, but not limited to:

    * synthesis
    * transformation
    * specialization
    * composition
    * optimization
    * inversion
    * specification
    * analysis and verification
    * testing and certification
    * program and model manipulation
    * transformational techniques in SE
    * applications and tools

Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new
perspective, and application papers that describe experience with
industrial applications are also welcome.

Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in
English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,
conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already
appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings
may be submitted (please contact the PC co-chairs in case of questions).

in PDF, formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style.
Each submission must include on its first page the paper title; authors
and their affiliations; contact author's email; abstract; and three to
four keywords which will be used to assist the PC in selecting appropriate
reviewers for the paper. Page numbers should appear on the manuscript to
help the reviewers in writing their report. Submissions cannot exceed 15
pages including references but excluding well-marked appendices not
intended
for publication. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and
thus
papers should be intelligible without them.
Paper should be submitted via the Easychair submission website for LOPSTR
2014.
If electronic submission is impossible, please contact the program
co-chairs
for information on how to submit hard copies.


Proceedings

The formal post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Full papers can be directly
accepted

presentation at
the symposium and inclusion in informal proceedings. After the symposium,
all
authors of extended abstracts and full papers accepted only for
presentation
will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions in the light of
the
feedback solicited at the symposium. Then, after another round of
reviewing,
these revised papers may also be published in the formal proceedings.

General
---------------
This workshop will bring together researchers from formal methods, 
automated reasoning and AI; it will address the issue of how AI can 
be used to support the formal software development process, including 
requirement analysis, modelling and proof. Previous AI4FM workshops 
have included a mix of industrial and academic participants and we 
anticipate attracting a similarly diverse audience. 

Rigorous software development using formal methods allows the construction 
of an accurate characterisation of a problem domain that is firmly based 
on mathematics; by applying standard mathematical analyses, these methods 
can be used to prove that systems satisfy formal specifications. Research 
has shown that with tools backed by mature theory, formal methods are 
becoming cost effective and their use is easier to justify, not as an 
academic exercise, legal requirement or niche markets -- but as part of 
a business case. However, while industrial use of formal methods is 
increasing, in order to make it more mainstream, the cost of applying 
formal methods, in terms of mathematical skill level and development 
time, must still be reduced. We believe that AI can help with these 
issues.


Scope
---------------
We encourage submissions presenting work in progress, tools under
development, and PhD projects, in order that the workshop can become 
a forum for active dialogue between the groups involved in  automated 
reasoning, formal methods and artificial intelligence.  Particular 
areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

- The use of AI and automated reasoning to support and guide the formal 
  modelling process.
- The use of AI and automated reasoning in the requirement capture process.
- The use of AI to reuse formal models, programs and proofs.
- The use of machine learning to support interactive theorem proving.
- The use of machine learning to enhance automated theorem proving.
- The development of search heuristics.
- The use of AI for term synthesis, invariant generation, lemma discovery 
  and concept invention.
- The use of AI for counter-example generation.
- The use of constraint solvers in formal methods. 
- The role of AI planning for formal systems developments, from requirements 
  to the end product (including software and hardware).
- The interplay between reasoning and modelling and the role of AI in this 
  framework.
- Ontologies in the formal engineering process.


History
---------------
This will be the fifth workshop in the series. Previous workshops were held at:
 - Rennes, France, July 2013 @ ITP (www.ai4fm.org/ai4fm-2013/)
 - Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, July 2012 (www.dagstuhl.de/12271)
 - Edinburgh, UK, April 2011 (www.ai4fm.org/ai4fm-2011.php)
 - Newcastle, UK, May 2010 (www.ai4fm.org/ko-meeting.php)


Submission
---------------
The main aim for the workshop is discussion, thus submissions do not

	Models for Process Languages 2014
Message-ID: <9D6FBC91-C52E-42D4-99F2-78582593F935@uniud.it>

== CALL FOR PAPERS == 

1st International Workshop on Meta Models for Process Languages (MeMo) 2014

affiliated to DisCoTec (http://www.discotec.org)

June 6th, 2014, Berlin, Germany

http://www.itu.dk/research/models/wiki/index.php/MeMo2014

== Aim and Topics: ==

The workshop targets research in and new applications of formal meta models
for the definition of process languages and their semantics. 

Examples of such meta models are bigraphical reactive systems, psi-calculi, the 
tile Model, term and graph rewriting, SOS formats, presheaf models, co-algebras and
specification of processes in logical frameworks such as CELF.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on the development
of theory and tools for meta models for process languages - to share insights,
uncover similarities and differences, possibilities for cross-fertilization and stimulate
further research in this exciting area. The workshop will be welcoming old and new
members of the community alike.

In addition to presentations of contributed papers the workshop will offer two
1-hour tutorials, a poster session and a round-table discussion at the end of the
workshop.

== Tutorials ==
* Psi-calculi (given by Joachim Parrow)
* Bigraphical Reactive Systems (given by Marino Miculan)


== Important Dates ==

* Abstract regular papers: 20 March 2014
* Submission regular papers: 24 March 2014
* Notification regular papers: 25 April 2014
* Camera-ready copy: 5 May 2014

THedu'14 Scope
--------------

THedu is a forum to gather the research communities for computer
Theorem Proving (TP), Automated Theorem Proving (ATP), Interactive
Theorem Proving (ITP) as well as for Computer Algebra Systems (CAS)
and Dynamic Geometry Systems (DGS).
The goal of this union is to combine and focus systems of these areas
and to enhance existing educational software as well as studying the
design of the next generation of mechanised mathematics assistants.

ThEdu's aims
-------------
address elements for next-generation assistants, which include:

   * Declarative Languages for Problem Solution: education in applied
   sciences and in engineering is mainly concerned with problems, which
   are understood as operations on elementary objects to be transformed
   to an object representing a problem solution. Preconditions and
   post-conditions of these operations can be used to describe the
   possible steps in the problem space; thus, ATP-systems can be used
   to check if an operation sequence given by the user does actually
   present a problem solution. Such "Problem Solution Languages"
   encompass declarative proof languages like Isabelle/Isar or Coq's
   Mathematical Proof Language, but also more specialised forms such
   as, for example, geometric problem solution languages that express a
   proof argument in Euclidean Geometry or languages for graph theory.

   * Consistent Mathematical Content Representation: libraries of
   existing ITP-Systems, in particular those following the LCF-prover
   paradigm, usually provide logically coherent and human readable
   knowledge. In the leading provers, mathematical knowledge is covered
   to an extent beyond most courses in applied sciences. However, the
   potential of this mechanised knowledge for education is clearly not
   yet recognised adequately: renewed pedagogy calls for enquiry-based
   learning from concrete to abstract --- and the knowledge's logical
   coherence supports such learning: for instance, the formula 2.Pi
   depends on the definition of reals and of multiplication; close to
   these definitions are the laws like commutativity etc. Clearly, the
   complexity of the knowledge's traceable interrelations poses a
   challenge to usability design.

   * User-Guidance in Step-wise Problem Solving: Such guidance is
   indispensable for independent learning, but costly to implement so
   far, because so many special cases need to be coded by
   hand. However, TP technology makes automated generation of
   user-guidance reachable: declarative languages as mentioned above,
   novel programming languages combining computation and deduction,
   methods for automated construction with ruler and compass from
   specifications, etc --- all these methods 'know how to solve a
   problem'; so, using the methods' knowledge to generate user-guidance
   mechanically is an appealing challenge for ATP and ITP, and probably
   for compiler construction.

   * Pedagogical strategies: Using TP technologies in learning
   environments call for strategies for linking and adapting the
   availble tools for specific educational needs and new methods for
   the management of mathematical knowledge capable of filling the gap
   between repositories and end-user system and new visual and/or
   natural language interfaces to allow the use of rigorous reasoning
   methods and tools.

   In principle, mathematical software can be conceived as models of
   mathematics: The challenge addressed by this workshop is to provide
   appealing models for mathematics assistants which are interactive
   and which explain themselves such that interested students can
   independently learn by inquiry and experimentation.



Submission

Subject: [TYPES/announce] CFP: 6th Workshop on the Theory and Practice of
	Provenance (TaPP 2014)
Message-ID: <CAAdciC1KbzqsM9iW1DFzG+j4MNhaeHUOfB9kJkLt_ZFXrUqxsw@mail.gmail.com>

Call for Papers
6th Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP'14)
In cooperation with USENIX
June 12-13, 2014
German Aerospace Center (DLR), Cologne, Germany

Provenance provides needed insight into the origins and derivation of data.
Provenance provides documentation that is an essential part of data quality
assessments, debugging and search. Topics in provenance range from:
capture, storage, usage, security, interoperability. Of particular interest
are the fundamental areas that must be solved in order to make provenance a
useful and usable tool in the world today. What theoretical problems need
to be solved? What practical problems can we tackle? What lessons have we
learned from real implementations?

Workshop Format
As with the previous editions of the workshop, the Program Committee is
determined to make TaPP'14 a real workshop at which new ideas are discussed
and developed and where the participants can learn how other disciplines
make use of provenance. While the workshop will have online proceedings
(indexed through DBLP), we do not want the workshop to become another
"mini-conference" with only paper presentations. Instead, we are eager to
receive short papers and vision papers describing challenges for provenance
research, brief descriptions of new applications, pie-in-the sky research
ideas, and anything else that will create a successful workshop. While
brief and readable descriptions of research are encouraged, recycled
conference submissions are strongly discouraged.

After the submission date for these various contributions, the Program
Committee will decide on the details of the workshop format. It is expected
to be a mixture of presentations, discussions, poster sessions, and a panel
(in conjunction with IPAW'14 as part of Provenance Week). Anyone with an
accepted submission will have ample opportunity to present their ideas at
the workshop.

How and What to Submit
Submissions should be no more than 4 pages in ACM SIGPLAN (two-column)
format. If supporting material is needed, an extra 4 pages may be
submitted, but the committee will not be obliged to read them.
All contributions must be submitted online at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tapp14.

Venue
The 6th TaPP will be co-located with IPAW during Provenance Week (June
9-13, 2014) at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne, Germany.

Important Dates
- Submission deadline: March 14, 2014
- Notification: April 11, 2014
- Final version due: May 9, 2014
- TaPP Workshop: June 12-13, 2014

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Post-doc in Japan: JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship
In-Reply-To: <CAAbTGZXXHxUTnp_cBX1wKT4Wp4i4FS=vuk-RZ=YrpOOLm4F9JA@mail.gmail.com>
References: <CAAbTGZXXHxUTnp_cBX1wKT4Wp4i4FS=vuk-RZ=YrpOOLm4F9JA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear colleagues,

Let me advertise **JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship**, a postdoctoral
fellowship for foreign researchers to work in Japan, funded by the
Japanese government via the funding body JSPS.
https://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/postdoctoral.html

Unlike common post-doc positions in which a principal investigator
(PI) gets positions and calls for applications to fill them, an
application to JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship is made jointly by a
foreign researcher and a host researcher in Japan. Your first step
therefore would be to contact a prospective host researcher.

(So please note that I'm advertising not positions that I have, but a
scheme that you can use with me or other researchers in Japan as your
host. Note also that this is not an official advertisement by JSPS
either :) I can only answer questions if I am to be your host.)

Some further notes:

 - Fellowships are awarded for a period of 12 to 24 months.

 - The fellowship will award:

   * A round-trip air ticket
   * A monthly maintenance allowance of approx. JPY 360,000
     (I'd say this is quite enough for living even in Tokyo.
      Believe me, Japan is not an expensive place as is
      commonly believed!)
   * A settling-in allowance of approx. JPY 200,000, overseas
     travel accident and sickness insurance coverage, etc.

   In addition you will get your own grant money of max. JPY
   1,500,000 per year, for your trips, computers, books, etc.

 - There are two application paths:

    1) through Open Recruitment in Japan (the next round to be
        closed in mid April); and
    2) through an Overseas Nominating Authority, including the
       Royal Society (UK), CNRS (France), NWO (the Netherlands),
       etc.
       https://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/long_list.html

   It seems that the latter path is often less competitive.

In fact the common kind of post-doc positions (a PI gets them and
he/she advertises them) are somewhat rare in Japan. Therefore many
researchers, including myself, are waiting for your contact on
an application to JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship!

There are other funding opportunities for foreign post-docs as well; I
myself would be very happy to seek opportunities for promising
researchers with similar research interests.

Thank you, Ichiro

  each other during 5 minutes. Every 5 minutes, they have to find a new
  partner.

* Collaborative Writing
  In small groups, students will develop an idea of how to incorporate
  their respective research into a coherent, joint project. They will
  write down a motivation and problem statement for it, as well as an
  approach. In the end, they present their research idea to the whole
  group. During the afternoon, the panelists consult the students and
  give additional input.


PREPARATION

It is mandatory to register for the participation in the Student Forum
by sending the following information to students at aosd.net by April 6,
2014.

* Prepare one or more questions you would like to be discussed in the
  panel.
?
* Write a short description about yourself (max. 100 words) including
  what is your field of research (e.g., languages, tools, design,
  applications) a brief problem statement for your research and what is
  your experience (i.e., how long have you been a PhD student).

Panel: "Future Directions of Specifications for Formal Methods"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Panelists:
     Matt Dwyer, University of Nebraska, USA
     Hadas Kress-Gazit, Cornell University, USA
     Moshe Y. Vardi, Rice University, USA
Panel Description: Specifications are required for all applications of 
formal methods yet extracting specifications for real-life safety 
critical systems often proves to be a huge bottleneck or even an 
insurmountable hurdle to the application of formal methods in practice. 
This is the state for safety-critical systems today and as these systems 
grow more complex, more pervasive, and more powerful in the future, 
there is not a clear path even for maintaining the bleak status quo. 
Therefore, we propose highlighting this issue in the home of an 
important critical system, the Mission Control Center of NASA's most 
famous critical systems, and asking our panelists where we can go from here.

        July 7-11, 2014 at University of Coimbra, Portugal

             http://www.cicm-conference.org/2014

                     Call for Papers

          ** Extended Deadline: March 14th, 2014 **

-------------------------------------------------------------------
* Co-located Workshops *
- CCA'14: Workshop on Compact Computer Algebra 
  (organiser: Elena Smirnova)
- MathUI'14: Workshop on Mathematical User Interfaces 
  (organisers: Andrea Kohlhase, Paul Libbrecht)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

As   computers   and   communications  technology   advance,   greater
opportunities  arise for  intelligent mathematical  computation. While
computer  algebra, automated  deduction,  mathematical publishing  and
novel user interfaces individually have long and successful histories,
we  are now seeing  increasing opportunities  for synergy  among these
areas.  The  Conferences on  Intelligent  Computer Mathematics  (CICM)
offer a venue for discussing these areas and their synergy.

CICM has been held annually  as a joint meeting since 2008, colocating
related conferences  and workshops to advance work  in these subjects.
Previous meetings have been held in Birmingham (U.K. 2008), Grand Bend
(Canada  2009), Paris  (France 2010),  Bertinoro (Italy  2011), Bremen
(Germany 2012) and Bath (U.K. 2013).

This is  a call for papers  for CICM 2014,  which will be held  at the
University   of  Coimbra,   7-11   July  2014,   following  the   10th
International Workshop on Automated Deduction in Geometry.

The principal tracks of the conference will be:

  Calculemus (Symbolic Computation and Mechanised Reasoning)
  Chair: James Davenport

  DML (Digital Mathematical Libraries)
  Chair: Petr Sojka

  MKM (Mathematical Knowledge Management)
  Chair: Josef Urban

  Systems and Projects
  Chair: Alan Sexton

The local  arrangements will be coordinated by  the Local Arrangements
Chair,   Pedro  Quaresma  (U.  Coimbra,  Portugal),  and  the  overall
programme will be organised by the General Program Chair, Stephen Watt
(U. Western Ontario, Canada).

The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag
as a volume in Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI).

As in  previous years, it is  anticipated that there will  be a number
co-located workshops, including one to mentor doctoral students giving
presentations.

                               Tracks
----------------------------------------------------------------

================================================================
Track Calculemus: Symbolic Computation and Mechanised Reasoning
================================================================

Calculemus   2014  invites   the  submission   of   original  research
contributions to be considered for publication and presentation at the
conference.  Calculemus  is a series  of conferences dedicated  to the
integration  of  computer  algebra   systems  (CAS)  and  systems  for
mechanised  reasoning  like   interactive  proof  assistants  (PA)  or
automated theorem  provers (ATP).  Currently,  symbolic computation is
divided into several (more  or less) independent branches: traditional
ones  (e.g., computer  algebra and  mechanised reasoning)  as  well as
newly emerging ones (on  user interfaces, knowledge management, theory
exploration, etc.) The main concern  of the Calculemus community is to
bring these  developments together in order to  facilitate the theory,
design,  and  implementation   of  integrated  mathematical  assistant
systems  that  will  be  used routinely  by  mathematicians,  computer
scientists and  all others who need  computer-supported mathematics in
their every day business.

All  topics  in  the  intersection  of computer  algebra  systems  and
automated  reasoning systems  are  of interest  for Calculemus.  These
include but are not limited to:

* Automated theorem proving in computer algebra systems.
* Computer algebra in theorem proving systems.
* Adding reasoning capabilities to computer algebra systems.
* Adding computational capabilities to theorem proving systems.
* Theory, design and implementation of interdisciplinary systems for
  computer mathematics.
* Case studies and applications that involve a mix of computation and
  reasoning.
* Case studies in formalization of mathematical theories.
* Representation of mathematics in computer algebra systems.
* Theory exploration techniques.
* Combining methods of symbolic computation and formal deduction.
* Input languages, programming languages, types and constraint languages,
  and modeling languages for mathematical assistant systems.
* Homotopy type theory.
* Infrastructure for mathematical services.

================================================================
Track DML: Digital Mathematical Libraries
================================================================

Mathematicians  dream of  a digital  archive containing  all validated
mathematical literature ever published, reviewed, properly linked, and
verified.   It is  estimated that  the entire  corpus  of mathematical
knowledge  published over  the centuries  does not  exceed 100,000,000
pages,   an   amount   easily   manageable  by   current   information
technologies.

The  track objective  is to  provide a  forum for  the  development of
math-aware  technologies, standards,  algorithms and  formats  for the
fulfillment  of the  dream of  a global  digital  mathematical library
(DML).  Computer scientists (D) and  librarians of the digital age (L)
are  especially welcome to  join mathematicians  (M) and  discuss many
aspects of DML preparation.

Track topics  are all topics of mathematical  knowledge management and
digital libraries applicable in the context of DML building, including
the  processing  of  mathematical  knowledge expressed  in  scientific
papers in natural languages:

* Math-aware text mining (math mining) and MSC classification
* Math-aware representations of mathematical knowledge
* Math-aware computational linguistics and corpora
* Math-aware tools for [meta]data and fulltext processing
* Math-aware OCR and document analysis
* Math-aware information retrieval
* Math-aware indexing and search
* Authoring languages and tools
* MathML, OpenMath, TeX and other mathematical content markup
  languages
* Web interfaces for DML content
* Mathematics on the web, math crawling and indexing
* Math-aware document processing workflows
* Archives of written mathematics
* DML management, business models
* DML rights handling, funding, sustainability
* DML content acquisition, validation and curation
* Reports and experience from running existing DMLs

================================================================
Track MKM: Mathematical Knowledge Management
================================================================

Mathematical  Knowledge Management  is an  interdisciplinary  field of
research in the intersection of mathematics, computer science, library
science, and scientific publishing. The objective of MKM is to develop
new and better ways  of managing sophisticated mathematical knowledge,
based on innovative technology  of computer science, the Internet, and
intelligent   knowledge   processing.  MKM   is   expected  to   serve
mathematicians,  scientists,   and  engineers  who   produce  and  use
mathematical  knowledge; educators  and students  who teach  and learn
mathematics;   publishers  who   offer   mathematical  textbooks   and
disseminate   new    mathematical   results;   and    librarians   and
mathematicians who catalog and organize mathematical knowledge.

The  track is  concerned with  all aspects  of  mathematical knowledge
management. A non-exclusive list of important topics includes:

* Representations of mathematical knowledge
* Authoring languages and tools
* Repositories of formalized mathematics
* Deduction systems
* Mathematical digital libraries
* Diagrammatic representations
* Mathematical OCR
* Mathematical search and retrieval
* Math assistants, tutoring and assessment systems
* MathML, OpenMath, and other mathematical content standards
* Web presentation of mathematics
* Data mining, discovery, theory exploration
* Computer algebra systems
* Collaboration tools for mathematics
* Challenges and solutions for mathematical workflows

================================================================
Track Systems and Projects
================================================================

The  Systems and  Projects  track of  the  Conferences on  Intelligent
Computer Mathematics  is a forum for presenting  available systems and
new and ongoing  projects in all areas and topics  related to the CICM
conferences:

* Deduction and Computer Algebra (Calculemus)
* Digital Mathematical Libraries (DML)
* Mathematical Knowledge Management (MKM)

The track aims  to provide an overview of  the latest developments and
trends within the CICM community  as well as to exchange ideas between
developers and introduce systems to an audience of potential users.


----------------------------------------------------------------
                       Submission Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------

Electronic submission is done through Easychair

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cicm2014

All papers should be prepared  in LaTeX and formatted according to the
requirements of Springer's LNCS  series (the corresponding style files
can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
By submitting  a paper  the authors  agree that if  it is  accepted at
least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it.

Submissions  to the research  tracks (Calculemus,  DML, MKM)  must not
exceed 15 pages  in the LNCS style and will  be reviewed and evaluated
with respect to relevance,  clarity, quality, originality, and impact.
Shorter papers,  e.g., for  system descriptions, are  welcome. Authors
will have  an opportunity to  respond to their papers'  reviews before
the programme committee makes a decision.


System descriptions  and projects descriptions should be  2-4 pages in
the LNCS style and should present

* newly developed systems,
* systems not previously been presented to the CICM community, or
* significant updates to existing systems.

Systems must either be  available for download or currently executable
by the general public as a web application.

Project presentations should describe

* projects that are new or about to start,
* ongoing projects that have not yet been presented to the CICM community or
* significant new developments in ongoing previously presented projects.

Presentations of  new projects  should mention relevant  previous work
and  include  a roadmap  that  outlines  concrete  steps. All  project
submissions must have a live  project website and should contain links
to demos, videos, downloadable systems or downloadable datasets.

Accepted conference submissions from all tracks will be published as a
volume in  the series Lecture Notes in  Artificial Intelligence (LNAI)
by  Springer. In  addition to  these formal  proceedings,  authors are
permitted and encouraged to publish the final versions of their papers
on arXiv.org.

Work-in-progress submissions  are intended to provide a  forum for the
presentation of original  work that is not yet in  a suitable form for
submission as a full paper for a research track or system description.
This includes work in progress  and emerging trends. Their size is not
limited, but we recommend 5-10 pages.

The  programme   committee  may  offer  authors   of  rejected  formal
submissions  the   opportunity  to  publish   their  contributions  as
work-in-progress   papers  instead.   Depending  on   the   number  of
work-in-progress  papers  accepted,  they  will be  presented  at  the
conference either  as short talks or as  posters. The work-in-progress
proceedings will be published as a technical report, as well as online
with CEUR-WS.org.


----------------------------------------------------------------
			  Doctoral Programme
----------------------------------------------------------------

Chair: David Wilson (University of Bath, UK)

CICM  is  an  excellent  opportunity  for graduate  students  to  meet

deduction, and mathematical publishing.

The Doctoral Programme provides a  dedicated forum for PhD students to
present  and discuss  their ideas,  ongoing or  planned  research, and
achieved  results   in  an  open   atmosphere.  It  will   consist  of
presentations  by  the  PhD  students to  get  constructive  feedback,
advice, and suggestions from the research advisory board, researchers,
and  other PhD  students.  Each PhD  student  will be  assigned to  an
experienced researcher  from the research advisory board  who will act
as a mentor and who will provide detailed feedback and advice on their
intended and ongoing research.


Students at  any stage of  their PhD can  apply and should  submit the
following documents through EasyChair:

* A  two-page  abstract  of   your  thesis  describing  your  research
  questions,  research   plans,  completed  and   remaining  research,
  evaluation plans and publication plans;

* A   two-page  CV   that  includes   background   information  (name,
  university,  supervisor), education  (degree sought,  year/status of
  degree, previous degrees), employments, relevant research experience
  (publications,  presentations,  attended  conferences or  workshops,
  etc.)

INTRODUCTION

SBMF 2014 is the seventeenth of a series of events devoted to the development, dissemination and use of formal methods for the construction of high-quality computational systems. 

The symposium will be part of CBSoft: Theory and Practice, the largest Brazilian conference on software,  that includes, together with SBMF, three other symposia:
* XXVIII Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES)
* XVIII Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP)
* VIII Brazilian Symposium on Components, Software Architecture and Software Reuse (SBCARS)

CBSoft'14 will be held in Maceio', the capital and the largest city of the coastal state Alagoas, Brazil. The new Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport connects Maceio' with many Brazilian cities and also operates some international flights. The city is home of the Universidade Federal de Alagoas, which will host CBSoft'14. 

The aim of SBMF is to provide a venue for the presentation and discussion of high-quality work in formal methods, in a broad perspective. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* techniques and methodologies, such as method integration; software and hardware co-design; model-driven engineering; formal aspects of popular methodologies; formal design; development methodologies; software evolution;
* specification and modeling languages, such as well-founded specification and design languages; formal aspects of popular languages; logics and semantics for programming and specification languages; code generation; formal methods and models for objects, aspects, component-based, real-time, hybrid, critical, and service-oriented systems;
* theoretical foundations, such as domain theory; type systems and category theory; computational complexity of methods and models; computational models; term rewriting; models of concurrency, security and mobility;
* verification and validation, such as abstraction, modularization and refinement techniques; program and test synthesis; correctness by construction; model checking; theorem proving; static analysis; software testing; software certification; software inspection;
* education, such as teaching of, for and with formal methods;
* applications, such as experience reports on the use of formal methods; industrial case studies; tool support.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers with a strong emphasis on Formal Methods, whether practical or theoretical, are invited for submission. They should present unpublished and original work that has a clear contribution to the state-of-the art on the theory or practice of formal methods. They should not be simultaneously submitted elsewhere. 

Papers will be judged by at least three reviewers on the basis of originality, relevance, technical soundness and presentation quality and should contain sound theoretical or practical results. Industry papers should emphasize practical application of formal methods or report on open challenges. 

Contributions should be written in English and be prepared using Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format. Papers submitted as full papers may not exceed 16 pages. Short papers may not exceed 6 pages in LNCS format. Accepted full papers will be published, after the conference, in a volume of LNCS. Abstracts of accepted full papers together with the accepted short papers will be published in CBSoft's proceedings. A special issue of a reputable journal with extended versions of selected papers from SBMF'14 is anticipated. Special issues of Science of Computer Programming with selected papers from SBMF'11, SBMF'12 and SBMF'13 are in preparation.

Every accepted paper MUST have at least one author registered in the symposium by the time the camera-ready copy is submitted; the registered author is also expected to attend the symposium and present the paper.

                               WGP 2014

            10th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming
                          Gothenburg, Sweden
                        Sunday, August 31, 2014

                    http://www.wgp-sigplan.org/2014

                          Co-located with the
    International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2014)
======================================================================


Goals of the workshop
---------------------

Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making
them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds
of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably
instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the
parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for
example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class
hierarchies, or even programming paradigms.

Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to
practitioners and to theoreticians, and, for at least 20 years,
generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research
in the functional and object-oriented programming communities. Generic
programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream
languages, and today is widely used in industry. This workshop brings
together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming
from around the world, and features papers capturing the state of the
art in this important area.

We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as
practical, of

    * generic programming,
    * programming with (C++) concepts,
    * meta-programming,
    * programming with type classes,
    * programming with modules,
    * programming with dependent types,
    * type systems for generic programming,
    * polytypic programming,
    * adaptive object-oriented programming,
    * component-based programming,
    * strategic programming,
    * aspect-oriented programming,
    * family polymorphism,
    * object-oriented generic programming,
    * implementation of generic programming languages,
    * static and dynamic analyses of generic programs,
    * and so on.

Syntax and Semantics of Low Level Languages

Sunday 13th July 2014, Vienna, Austria

A satellite workshop of CSL/LICS 2014
at the Vienna Summer of Logic

http://vsl2014.at/lola/

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOP

It has been understood since the late 1960s that tools and structures
arising in mathematical logic and proof theory can usefully be applied
to the design of high level programming languages, and to the
development of reasoning principles for such languages. Yet low level
languages, such as machine code, and the compilation of high level
languages into a low level ones have traditionally been seen as having
little or no essential connection to logic.

However, a fundamental discovery of this past decade has been that low
level languages are also governed by logical principles. From this key
observation has emerged an active and fascinating new research area at
the frontier of logic and computer science. The practically-motivated
design of logics reflecting the structure of low level languages (such
as heaps, registers and code pointers) and low level properties of
programs (such as resource usage) goes hand in hand with some of
the most advanced contemporary research in semantics and proof
theory, including classical realizability and forcing, double
orthogonality, parametricity, linear logic, game semantics,
uniformity, categorical semantics, explicit substitutions, abstract
machines, implicit complexity and sublinear programming.

The LOLA workshop, affiliated with CSL-LICS, will bring together
researchers interested in many aspects of the relationship between
logic and low level languages and programs. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

Typed assembly languages,
Certified assembly programming,
Certified and certifying compilation,
Proof-carrying code,
Program optimization,
Modal logic and realizability in machine code,
Realizability and double orthogonality in assembly code,
Parametricity, modules and existential types,
General references, Kripke models and recursive types,
Continuations and concurrency,
Implicit complexity, sublinear programming and Turing machines,
Closures and explicit substitutions,
Linear logic and separation logic,
Game semantics, abstract machines and hardware synthesis,
Monoidal and premonoidal categories, traces and effects.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

LOLA is an informal workshop aiming at a high degree of useful
interaction amongst the participants, welcoming proposals for talks on
work in progress, overviews of larger programmes, position
presentations and short tutorials as well as more traditional research
talks describing new results.

The programme committee will select the workshop presentations from
submitted proposals, which may take the form either of a two page
abstract or of a longer (published or unpublished) paper describing
completed work.

                              SAS 2014

                   Static Analysis Symposium 2014

                           Call for Papers

                http://cs.uni-muenster.de/sev/sas14/

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------


Objective
- ---------

Static Analysis is increasingly recognized as a fundamental tool for
program verification, bug detection, compiler optimization, program
understanding, and software maintenance. The series of Static Analysis
Symposia has served as the primary venue for the presentation of
theoretical, practical, and application advances in the area. The 21th
International Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2014, will be held in
Munich, Germany. Previous symposia were held in Seattle, Deauville,
Venice, Perpignan, Los Angeles, Valencia, Kongens Lyngby, Seoul,
London, Verona, San Diego, Madrid, Paris, Santa Barbara, Pisa, Aachen,
Glasgow, and Namur.


Topics
- ------

The technical program for SAS 2014 will consist of invited lectures
and presentations of refereed papers. Contributions are welcomed on
all aspects of static analysis, including, but not limited to:

     * Abstract domains		* Abstract interpretation
     * Abstract testing		* Bug detection
     * Data flow analysis	* Model checking
     * New applications		* Program transformation
     * Program verification	* Security analysis
     * Theoretical frameworks	* Type checking


Paper Submission
- ----------------

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including
concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic,
object-oriented, aspect, multi-core, distributed, and GPU
programming. Papers must describe original work, be written and
presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers
that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
journal or a conference with refereed proceedings. Submitted papers
will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness,
originality, and clarity. They should clearly identify what has been
accomplished and why it is significant. Paper submissions should not
exceed 15 pages in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science LNCS
format, excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices. Program
committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus
papers must be intelligible without them.


Artifact Submission
- -------------------

As last year, we are encouraging authors to submit a virtual machine
image containing any artifacts and evaluations presented in the
paper. The goal of the artifact submissions is to strengthen our
field's scientific approach to evaluations and reproducibility of
results. The virtual machines will be archived on a permanent Static
Analysis Symposium website to provide a record of past experiments and
tools, allowing future research to better evaluate and contrast
existing work.

Artifact submission is optional. Details on what to submit and how
will be forthcoming.

The submitted artifacts will be used by the program committee as a
secondary evaluation criteria whose sole purpose is to find additional
positive arguments for the paper's acceptance. Submissions without
artifacts are welcome and will not be penalized.


Dates
- -----

  * Submission deadline: abstracts must be received by March 7, 2014,
    and complete papers by March 14, 2014.  These deadlines are
    strict; submissions where abstract or paper are received later
    will not be evaluated.

  * Rebuttal: May 15-18, 2014

  * Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2014

  * Final version due: June 22, 2014

  * Early registration: On or before July 20, 2014

  * Workshop day: September 10, 2014

  * Conference: September 11-13, 2014

biological systems: problems, consequences and state-of-the-art
approaches.


Description of the Workshop
===========================
Numerical computations are ubiquitous in digital systems: supervision,
prediction, simulation and signal processing rely heavily on numerical
calculus to achieve desired goals. Verification of numerical
algorithms has a unique set of challenges, which set it apart from
the rest of software verification. To achieve the verification and
validation of global properties, numerical techniques need to
precisely represent local behaviors of each component. In fact, in
numerical algorithms, coarse abstractions are unlikely to succeed
essentially because of the above mentioned issue. The implementation
of numerical techniques on modern hardware adds another layer of
approximation: the use of finite representations of infinite
precision numbers usually lack basic arithmetic properties such
as commutativity and associativity. It is hence imperative to develop
logical and mathematical techniques that would allow reasoning about
programmability and reliability. The NSV workshop is dedicated to the
current development and the future prospects for such techniques.


Topics
===============
The scope of the workshop includes, but is not restricted to, the
following topics:
- Models and abstraction techniques
- Specifications of correctness for numerical programs
- Formal specification and verification of numerical programs
- Quality of finite precision implementations
- Propagation of uncertainties, deterministic and probabilistic models
- Numerical properties of control software
- Hybrid systems verification
- Validation for space, avionics, automotive and real-time applications
- Validation for scientific computing programs
- Optimality of program behavior
- Trade-offs between quality of service and resource (for example
  energy) consumption in programs
- Benchmarks and tools for numerical software verification
- Numerical issues in computational finance



Submission information
======================
We solicit regular and short papers.
Paper submission must be performed via the EasyChair system:

http://easychair.org/?conf=nsv14

Regular papers must describe original work, be written and presented
in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with refereed proceedings. Submitted papers will be judged
on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and
clarity. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and
why it is significant.

Regular paper submissions should not exceed 15 pages in ENTCS style,
including bibliography and well-marked appendices:
      http://www.entcs.org/prelim.html
Program committee members are not required to read the appendices, and
thus papers must be intelligible without them.

Short papers are also welcomed, they should present tools, benchmarks,
case-studies or be extended abstracts of ongoing research. Short
papers should not exceed 6 pages.

Regular papers will be published electronically by Elsevier in the
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science serie ENTCS), all
accepted (regular and short) papers will also be included in the
Vienna Summer of Logic USB-stick distributed to all participants to the VSL.

CALL FOR PHD ABSTRACTS

Journal of Functional Programming

Deadline: 30th April 2014

http://tinyurl.com/jfp-phd-abstracts

============================================================

PREAMBLE:

Many students complete PhDs in functional programming each
year, but there is currently no common location in which
to promote and advertise the resulting work.  The Journal
of Functional Programming would like to change that!

As a service to the community, JFP is launching a new
feature, in the form of a yearly publication of abstracts
from PhD dissertations that were completed during the
previous year.  To start this new feature off, we would like
to reach back three years for the first round of abstracts.
The abstracts will be freely available on the JFP website,
i.e. not behind any paywall, and will not require any
transfer for copyright, merely a license from the author.

Please submit dissertation abstracts according to the
instructions below.  A dissertation is eligible if parts
of it have or could appear in JFP, that is, if it is in
the general area of functional programming.  JFP will not
have these abstracts reviewed.  We welcome submissions
from both the PhD student and PhD advisor/supervisor
although we encourage them to coordinate.

============================================================

SUBMISSION:

Please submit the following information to Graham Hutton
<graham.hutton at nottingham.ac.uk> by 30th April 2014.

o Student: (full name)

o Advisor/supervisor: (full names)

o Dissertation title: (including any subtitle)

o Dissertation abstract: (plain text, maximum 1000 words;
  you may use \emph{...} for emphasis, but we prefer no
  other markup or formatting in the abstract, but do get
  in touch if this causes significant problems)
   
o Dissertation URL: (please provide a permanently accessible
  link to the dissertation if you have one, such as to an
  institutional repository or other public archive; links
  to personal web pages should be considered a last resort)
   
o Awarding institution: (full name and location)
   
o Date of PhD award: (depending on the institution, this
  may be the date of the viva, date when corrections were
  approved, date of graduation ceremony, or otherwise)
   
Please do not submit a copy of the dissertation itself, as
this is not required.  JFP reserves the right to decline
to publish abstracts that are not deemed appropriate.

16th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods
ICFEM 2014, Luxembourg, 3-7 November 2014

http://icfem2014.uni.lu
----------------------------------------

The 16th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods (ICFEM
2014) will be held at the Melia Hotel in Luxembourg, Luxembourg from
3rd November to 7 November 2014. Since 1997, ICFEM has been serving as
an international forum for researchers and practitioners who have been
seriously applying formal methods to practical applications.

Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and
government, are encouraged to attend, present their research, and help
advance the state of the art. We are interested in work that has been
incorporated into real production systems, and in theoretical work
that promises to bring practical and tangible benefit.

ICFEM 2014 is organised and sponsored by The University of Luxembourg.
The city of Luxembourg itself is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, on
account of the historical importance of its fortifications. Luxembourg
was the first city to be named European Capital of Culture twice.


SCOPE AND TOPICS
----------------------------------------
Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged,
but any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and their
practical applications will also be considered.

+ Abstraction and refinement
+ Formal specification and modelling
+ Program analysis
+ Software verification
+ Software model checking
+ Formal approaches to software testing
+ Formal methods for self-adaptive systems
+ Formal methods for object and component systems
+ Formal methods for concurrent and real-time systems
+ Formal methods for cloud computing and cyber-physical systems
+ Formal methods for software safety, security, reliability and dependability
+ Tool development, integration and experiments involving verified systems
+ Formal methods used in certifying products under international standards
+ Formal model-based development and code generation

This year, ICFEM will have special tracks on application of formal
methods in three areas:
+ Computer Security
+ Biology
+ Healthcare

Submissions in these topics are especially encouraged. Papers in these
areas will be subject to the same rigorous review process as other
papers. Accepted special track papers will be organised into special
sessions.

 Vienna (Austria), 17-18 July
Message-ID: <5315D14C.30109@cs.ucl.ac.uk>

----------------------------------------------------------------------
           14th International Workshop on Termination (WST)

         Affiliated with CAV, IJCAR and RTA-TLCA at FLoC 2014
                  17 - 18 July 2014, Vienna, Austria

                        http://vsl2014.at/wst/
----------------------------------------------------------------------

OBJECTIVES

The Workshop on Termination traditionally brings together, in an
informal setting, researchers interested in all aspects of
termination, whether this interest be practical or theoretical,
primary or derived. The workshop also provides a ground for
cross-fertilisation of ideas from term rewriting and from the
different programming language communities. The friendly atmosphere
enables fruitful exchanges leading to joint research and subsequent
publications.

The 14th International Workshop on Termination in Vienna continues the
successful workshops held in St. Andrews (1993), La Bresse (1995),
Ede (1997), Dagstuhl (1999), Utrecht (2001), Valencia (2003),
Aachen (2004), Seattle (2006), Paris (2007), Leipzig (2009),
Edinburgh (2010), Obergurgl (2012), and Bertinoro (2013). More
information on earlier WSTs is available on the Termination Portal:

http://www.termination-portal.org/wiki/WST


TOPICS

The 14th International Workshop on Termination welcomes contributions
on all aspects of termination and complexity analysis (and their
automation) for various models of computation, ranging from rewrite
systems and state transition systems to programming languages.

Contributions from the imperative, constraint, functional, and logic
programming communities, and papers investigating applications of
complexity or termination (for example in program transformation or
theorem proving) are particularly welcome.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

      * Termination of programs
      * Termination of rewriting
      * Termination analysis of transition systems
      * Complexity of programs
      * Complexity of rewriting
      * Implicit computational complexity
      * Implementation of termination and complexity analysis methods
      * Certification of termination and complexity proofs
      * Termination orders, well-founded orders, and reduction orders
      * Termination methods for theorem provers
      * Strong and weak normalization of lambda calculi
      * Termination analysis for different language paradigms
      * Invariants for termination proving
      * Challenging termination problems
      * Applications to program transformation and compilation
      * Comparison and classification of termination methods
      * Non-termination and loop detection
      * Termination in distributed and concurrent systems
      * Proof methods for liveness and fairness
      * Well-quasi-order theory
      * Ordinal notations and subrecursive hierarchies

There will be no formal reviewing, but we will provide informal
feedback for each submission. Accepted papers will be made available
electronically, both on the WST 2014 web page and on the FLoC USB
proceedings. The workshop proceedings are informal as well. Thus,
submission to WST 2014 is not in conflict with an earlier, concurrent,
or later submission of the same material to a journal, a conference,
or another workshop. In case of simultaneous submissions to several
FLoC events, please state in the abstract on easychair to which other
FLoC venues you are submitting as well.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission page:

    The 28th International Workshop on Unification
           July 13, 2014. Vienna, Austria
     a FLoC workshop hosted by RTA-TLCA and IJCAR
               http://vsl2014.at/unif
====================================================

UNIF 2014 is the 28th event in a series of international meetings 
devoted to
unification theory and its applications. Unification is concerned with the
problem of identifying terms, finding solutions for equations, or making
formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number of fields
of computer science, including automated reasoning, term rewriting, logic
programming, natural language processing, program analysis, types, etc.

The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for
researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new
colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new 
ideas
and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and 
scientists
working in related areas to get an overview of the current state of the 
art in
unification theory.


Topics
------
A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest includes:

   * syntactic and equational unification
   * matching
   * constraint solving
   * unification in modal, temporal, and description logics
   * narrowing
   * disunification
   * anti-unification
   * semi-unification
   * higher-order unification
   * complexity issues
   * implementation techniques
   * applications


Submission
----------
Short papers or extended abstracts, up to 5 pages in EasyChair style, 
should be
submitted electronically as PDF files through the EasyChair submission site:

High Performance Computing at extreme scale sets new challenges which have
to be faced to guarantee fault tolerance and reliability. The Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) and Autonomic Computing (AC) paradigms have emerged as highly
appealing, scalable solutions to tackle the above issues and the growing
complexity of such software and hardware technologies. While P2P solutions
put the emphasis on decentralization and sharing of resources, AC solutions
are based on equipping computational entities with autonomic (self-*)
features. These approaches are, of course, complementary and are often
combined together in modern distributed systems that avoid central
coordination and human intervention. The design, implementation, and
analysis of these complex systems pose several challenges, both with
functional and non-functional properties, depending on network size, churn
rate and application context. This workshop has the goal of providing an
international forum for researchers and practitioners willing to present,
discuss and exchange innovative research results and advanced topics that
combine theoretical and practical approaches to modeling and high
performance simulation, but also modeling and simulation of high
performance (extreme scale) systems.


The workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following issues
of P2P and Autonomic systems:
- M&S of High Performance Systems
- High Performance M&S
- Formal Modeling and Analysis
- Discrete Event Modeling and Simulation
- Agent-based Simulation
- Novel Techniques for M&S
- M&S-Based Development Methods
- High Performance Fault Tolerance / Resilience at Extreme Scale
- Evaluation of Combined P2P and AC Systems
- Overlay Schemes Performance Evaluation
- Analysis of P2P/AC-based Applications and Services
- Workload Characterization and Simulation
- Analysis of Emergent Behaviors
- Evaluation of Trust and Reputation Systems
- Verification at Runtime of AC Systems
- Real-Time Aspects, including Timing Violations for Multimedia and Other
Real-Time Traffic
- Analysis of novel network services supporting P2P such as RELOAD and ALTO
- Impact of P2P Traffic on the Network Infrastructure

                            HCVS 2014
        Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis

                  July 17, 2014 ? Vienna, Austria

                     http://vsl2014.at/hcvs


Most Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest
can be modeled directly using Horn clauses and many recent
advances in the CLP and CAV communities have centered around
efficiently solving problems presented as Horn clauses.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in
the two communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP)
and Program Verification community (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI)
on the topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification and synthesis.

Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated
by these two communities in different times and from different
perspectives and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction
and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences.


Aims and Scope
==============

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of
Horn clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following
areas:

   - Analysis and verification of programs in various programming paradigms
     (e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic,
      higher-order, concurrent)
   - Program synthesis
   - Program testing
   - Program transformation
   - Constraint solving
   - Type systems
   - Case studies and tools
   - Challenging problems

We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of
Horn-clause based analysis, tool descriptions and extended abstracts
describing work-in-progress, and finally also position papers covering
previously published results that are of interest to the workshop.

               ***** Submission deadline: 25 May 2014 *****

Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent
logics, languages and systems. These frameworks provide foundations
for formal specification of systems and programming languages,
supporting tool development and reasoning.
The objective of this workshop is to bring together theoreticians and
practitioners to promote new techniques and results, and to facilitate
feedback on the implementation and application of such techniques and
results in practice.
Topics of interest to this forum include, but are not limited to:
     * Logical frameworks
     * Proof theory
     * Type theory
     * Automated deduction
     * Semantic frameworks
     * Specification languages and meta-languages
     * Formal semantics of languages and systems
     * Computational and logical properties of semantic frameworks
     * Implementation of logical and/or semantic frameworks
     * Applications of logical and/or semantic frameworks
LSFA 2014 also aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing work
in progress, and therefore to provide feedback to authors on their
preliminary research. The proceedings are produced after the meeting,
so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers.

LSFA 2014 will take place on the 8th and 9th September 2014 in
Brasilia. Previous editions took place in Sao Paulo (2013), Rio de
Janeiro (2012), Belo Horizonte (2011), Natal (2010), Brasilia (2009),

Aims and Scope

Mathematical methods are about to shape some branches of contemporary
philosophy just as they have formed most of the natural and many of
the social sciences. The thread of the school we propose is to mirror
this development, known as mathematical philosophy or formal
epistemology; to highlight the challenges that arise from it; and to
display its repercussions in mathematics. As for theoretical computer
science, a quite comparable spin-off of mathematics, the principal
counterpart within mathematics is mathematical logic.

Since many of the objects of study lie beyond the typical commitment
of contemporary mathematics, it is decisive to include non-classical
issues such as predicativity and constructivity. Proof theory does
indeed play a pivotal role: as the area of mathematical logic that is
closest to the understanding of logic as the science of formal
languages and reasoning, it is predestined for interaction both with
philosophical and computer science logic.

A hot topic that crosses over wide ranges of the school, and is most
prominently represented within, is whether axiomatic theories of truth
and of related notions, such as provability and knowledge, are
possible at all in the stress field between syntax and
semantics. Rational belief and rational choice, epistemic issues of
principal philosophical relevance, are put under mathematical scrutiny
by applying probabilism: that is, the thesis that a rational agent's
degrees of belief should conform to the axioms of probability theory.

CALL FOR PAPERS

9th Workshop on Security and High Performance Computing Systems
(SHPCS 2014)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of
The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation 
(HPCS 2014)
http://hpcs2014.cisedu.info/

July 21 - July 25, 2014
The Savoia Hotel Regency
Bologna, Italy 


SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 28, 2014


Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, 
or posters


SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Providing  high  performance  computing and  security is a challenging 
task.    Internet,  operating  systems  and  distributed  environments 
currently suffer from  poor security support and  cannot resist common 
attacks.  Adding security measures typically degrade performance. This 
workshop addresses relationships between security and high performance 
computing systems in three directions.  
First,  it considers how  to add security properties  (authentication, 
confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, access control)  to  high 
performance  computing  systems  and how they can be formally verified 
both at design-time  (formal verification)  and at run-time  (run-time 
verification).  In this case, safety properties can also be addressed, 
such as availability and fault tolerance for high performance computing 
systems.   Second,  it  covers  how  to  use high performance computing 
systems to solve security problems.    For instance, a grid computation 
can break an encryption code,  a cluster  can support  high performance 
intrusion detection or a distributed formal verification system.   More 
generally,   this  topic  addresses  every  efficient  use  of  a  high 
performance   computing   systems  to  improve  security.    Third,  it 
investigates the  tradeoffs  between maintaining  high performance  and 
achieving  security  in  computing systems and solutions to balance the 
two objectives.   In all these directions, various formal analyses,  as 
well as  performance analyses or monitoring techniques can be conducted 
to show the efficiency of a security infrastructure.  

The workshop  seeks  submissions from  academia and industry presenting 
novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of computer and 
network security, as well as case studies and implementation experiences.  
Papers should have practical relevance to the construction, evaluation, 
application, or operation of secure systems.

6TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON ALIASING, CAPABILITIES AND OWNERSHIP (IWACO)

Co-located with ECOOP 2014
July 28th, 2014, Uppsala, Sweden

http://www.ownership-types.org/iwaco14/

**************************************************************************

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Reasoning about shared state in imperative programs is challenging. The existence of aliases, in particular, compromises modular reasoning, making imperative programs hard to understand, maintain, and analyze. These difficulties become even aggravated in a concurrent context. On the other hand, aliasing is a very powerful feature and allows for efficient implementations of data structures, for example.
To address those challenges, techniques have been introduced for describing and reasoning about stateful programs and for restricting, analyzing, and preventing aliases. Approaches are based on ownership, capabilities, separation logic, linear logic, uniqueness, sharing control, escape analysis, argument independence, read-only references, linear references, effects systems, and access control mechanisms.

The workshop will generally address the question how to reason about stateful (sequential or concurrent) programs. In particular, we will consider the following issues (among others):

Models, type and other formal systems, programming language mechanisms, analysis and design techniques, patterns and notations for expressing ownership, aliasing, capabilities, uniqueness, and related topics; optimization techniques, analysis algorithms, libraries, applications, and novel approaches exploiting ownership, aliasing, capabilities, uniqueness, and related topics; empirical studies of programs or experience reports from programming systems designed with these issues in mind; programming logics that deal with aliasing and/or shared state, or use ownership, capabilities or resourcing; applications of any of these techniques to a concurrent setting.

We encourage not only submissions presenting original research results, but also papers that attempt to establish links between different approaches and/or papers that include survey material. Original research results should be clearly described. Paper selection will be based on the quality of the submitted material. Please direct any questions regarding the workshop's scope to the workshop organizers.

CALL FOR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS

There is a remarkable difference in conference style between computer
science and mathematics conferences. Mathematics conferences allow for
informal presentations that are prepared very shortly before the conference
and inform the participants about current research and work in progress. The
format of computer science conferences with pre-conference proceedings is
not able to accommodate this form of scientific communication.

Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, also this year's CiE
conference endeavours to get the best of both worlds. In addition to the
formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we invite
researchers to present informal presentations. For this, please send us a
brief description of your talk (between one paragraph and one page) by the
DEADLINE:

------------------------------------------------------
APRIL 14, 2014
------------------------------------------------------

Please submit your abstract electronically, via EasyChair
<https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=cie2014>, selecting the category
"Informal Presentation".

You will be notified whether your talk has been accepted for informal
presentation usually within a week or two after your submission.

If you intend to apply for the ASL Student Travel Award, you might need us
to confirm that your are going to give a presentation at CiE 2014
(applications of students who are presenting get higher priority).
Therefore, we would like to ask you to submit your informal presentations by
20 March so that we can send you the notification before the ASL deadline of
23 March 2014.


GRANTS:

Grants for students, members of the ASL:

The Association for Symbolic Logic <http://www.aslonline.org  has decided
to sponsor some students that are ASL members and willing to attend CiE2014.
The eligible students may apply for ASL travel funds that are available for
sponsored meetings, see http://www.aslonline.org/studenttravelawards.html
for detailed instructions on the application process. Applications should be
received at least three months prior to the conference.

Elsevier:

Under the name Elsevier Women in Computability (WiC), the publisher Elsevier
(more precisely, the journals 'Annals of Pure and Applied Logic' and
'Theoretical Computer Science') is continuing the programme 'Increasing
representation of female researchers in the computability community'
originally funded by the Elsevier Foundation (2008-2010).

This programme will fund the WiC workshop at CiE 2014, with the traditional
WiC dinner for workshop participants afterwards, and offer up to four grants
with modest support (up to 200 EUR) for junior female researchers to attend
CiE 2014.  Every registered junior female researcher is eligible to apply.
Preference will be given to researchers who present a paper (contributed
paper or informal talk).

Applications should contain a short CV (max 1 page) and contact information
for an academic reference. The application should be sent to Liesbeth De Mol
<elizabeth.demol at ugent.be> before the deadline of April 1, 2014.

EACTS Students

The European Association for Theoretical Computer Science is providing
limited funds for student participation.  Again, preference is given to
student presenting at the conference. Please contact the PC chairs if 
you are interested before the deadline of April 1, 2014.

ANNALS OF PURE AND APPLIED LOGIC (APAL)

SPECIAL ISSUE ON GAMES FOR LOGIC AND PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

CALL FOR PAPERS

TOPIC

Game semantics has emerged as a new and successful paradigm in the field of semantics of logics and programming languages. Game semantics made its breakthrough in computer science in the early 90s, providing an innovative set of methods and techniques for the analysis of logical
systems. Subsequently, game-semantic techniques led to the development of the first syntax-independent fully-abstract models for a variety of programming languages, ranging from the purely functional to languages effects such as control, references or concurrency. Nowadays, game semantics has expanded to a variety of fields in theory and analysis of computation, such as theories of concurrency, semantics of lambda calculi and proofs, program analysis, model checking and hardware synthesis.

This special issue, based on the GALOP workshop held at Queen Mary University of London in 2013 (see http://www.gamesemantics.org/galop-viii), aims to reflect new developments in this area.

Topics of interest for contributions to the journal issue include, but are not limited to game semantics and its applications to:

- Game theory and interaction models in semantics
- Games-based program analysis and verification
- Logics for games and games for logics
- Algorithmic aspects of games
- Categorical aspects
- Programming languages and full abstraction
- Higher-order automata and Petri nets
- Geometry of Interaction
- Ludics
- Epistemic game theory
- Logics of dependence and independence
- Computational linguistics


SUBMISSIONS

Submissions must be original work, which has not been previously published in a full form and is not currently under review for publication elsewhere.

*Subject 1: Software  verification**
**------------------------------------------*

The subject of the thesis is about   concurrent programs verification.
The PhD student is expected to investigate and develop novel 
techniques,  algorithms and tools for
the analysis of  software.

Indeed, nowadays, software is everywhere: in telecommunication, in 
navigation, in nuclear plants, etc.
The tasks that software deal with  are becoming more and more complex 
and critical, in the sense that any
small error can cause huge human and/or economical damages. Therefore,  
it is crucial to be sure that
a software does not contain any error before using it.   Programmers 
need then to have rigorous
formal mathematical techniques that allow to verify and check their 
programs.
Unfortunately, programs present several complex features that make their 
analysis very complex:
concurrency,  synchronisation, recursion, procedure calls, pointers, 
manipulation of integer and real variables, etc.
Thus, the objective of this thesis is to develop new techniques for 
software model-checking that can deal with all these complex features.




*Subject 2: Model-checking for malware detection*
*-----------------------------------------------------------------*

The  topic  of the thesis is the development of  new original 
model-checking and static analysis
  techniques for malware detection.  Indeed, the number of malwares is 
growing extraordinarily fast.
Therefore, it is important to have efficient  malware detectors.
To identify viruses, existing antivirus systems  use either  code 
emulation or signature (pattern) detection.
These techniques have some limitations. Indeed, emulation based 
techniques can only check the
  program's behavior in a limited time interval, whereas signature based 
systems are easy to get around.
To sidestep these limitations, instead of executing the program or 
making a syntactic check over it,
  virus detectors  need to use analysis techniques that check the 
/*behavior*/ (not the syntax) of the program in a /*static*/ way, i.e. 
without executing it.
Towards this aim, we propose in this thesis  to develop new 
/*model-checking*/ and /*static analysis */ techniques for virus detection.


*How to apply:**
**==========*
The positions are available immediately. Candidates must have a master 
in computer science.
The candidate must send a CV, university grades, recommendation letters, 
and a motivation letter to Tayssir TOUILI

Submission
-----------

Submissions of research papers are invited. The papers must contain
original research results not submitted and not published elsewhere.

The submission process consists of two steps.

     * In the first step the authors are invited to express their
       intention to participate at the conference by submitting a
       short abstract (1/2 page, at maximum) where it is clearly
       stated the main contribution(s) of the paper.

     * In the second step the authors should submit the full paper
       (up to 8 pages in the two-columns IEEE conference style).


Both the abstract and the full paper should be submitted electronically
through http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2014.

Proposals are also invited for:

     * special sessions
     * satellite workshops
     * tutorials


Special sessions

Proposals are invited for special sessions on any topic relevant to the
conference. Special sessions are intended to stimulate in-depth
discussions in special areas and they are fully integrated into the
main conference. The research papers and the informal presentations
submitted and accepted for the special sessions follow the same rules
as the papers submitted to the regular sessions. It is expected that
the organizers of the special sessions appoint their own chair and
program committee, which will be integrated in the conference program
committee and will be supervised by the conference program chair
and by the general chair.

Workshops

Proposals for satellite workshops are also invited. The satellite
workshops should have topics related to SYNASC but the scientific
program of each satellite workshop is managed by the workshop
organizers. Authors contributing to a workshop would be required
to register for the symposium.

Tutorials

Proposals for tutorials are also invited. Tutorials provide fundamental
exposure to topics ranging from introductory through intermediate to
advanced. The number and the duration of the tutorials will be decided
by the tutorial chair under the supervision of the general chair.
Depending on the number and the quality of the proposals for tutorials,
they may be organized as a SYNASC Autumn School.

       STRUCTURES AND DEDUCTION (SD14)

         http://vsl2014.at/sd/

          July 12-13, 2014

      Affiliated with CSL-LICS 2014
    Part of the Vienna Summer of Logic


Overview
========

This is the third in a series of meetings that bring together
researchers in different areas of proof theory. The main interest is
in new algebraic and geometric results in proof theory that expand our
abilities to manipulate proofs, that help to reduce bureaucracy in
deductive systems, and that ultimately lead to new methods for proof
search and new kinds of proof certificates.

Topics of the workshop include

- syntactic presentations of proofs, like sequent calculi and deep
   inference systems, in their focused and non-focused variants;

- combinatorial presentations of proofs, such as proof nets;

- algebraic presentations of proofs, for example via game semantics or
   category theory;

- methods for proof manipulation and normal forms for proofs;

- methods for incorporating computation and rewriting in proof search,
   such as deduction modulo or fixpoint definitions.

Since the past two meetings, held in 2005 in Lisbon and in 2009 in
Bordeaux, there has been a tremendous amount of progress in the the
theoretical foundations of the topics mentioned above.

The time is ripe for moving towards implementations of these ideas in
terms of new interactive and automated reasoning tools and
modifications to existing tools. Thus, we encourage contributions not
only of regular papers, but also of system descriptions, work in
progress, and programmatic/position papers.

Call for Talk Proposals for Second Workshop on

Programming Languages Technology for Massive Open Online Courses

PLOOC 2014

Co-Located with PLDI 2014 Edinburgh UK 9-11 June

http://people.csail.mit.edu/asolar/plooc2014/

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Massive open online courses present a broad set of challenges ranging
from automated grading and feedback, automatic problem generation,
plagiarism detection, as well as new issues such as how to enhance
collaboration and peer tutoring across the web. The goal of this workshop
is to explore how formal methods technologies related to specification,
verification, and synthesis can be applied to solve some of these problems
in the context of MOOCS, and how these technologies can be leveraged
and enhanced in the traditional classroom. We are interested in application
of these technologies to a wide variety of subject domains including
programming, logic, automata theory, math, and science.

We are now accepting 1-page proposals for 30-minute talks presenting
relevant work in this area. The proposal should include a brief summary of
the proposed talk and any relevant references (those can be in a separate
page). The deadline for submissions is March 26.

2014 TARRAGONA INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON TRENDS IN COMPUTING

SSTiC 2014

Tarragona, Spain

July 7-11, 2014

Organized by
Rovira i Virgili University

http://grammars.grlmc.com/sstic2014/

*********************************************************************

--- March 15, 4th registration deadline ---

*********************************************************************

AIM:

SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see  http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/

SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.

SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 6
keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.

SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.

			  CALL FOR PAPERS -- SETS 2014

********************************************************************************
	  1st International Workshop about Sets and Tools (SETS 2014)
			 June 3, 2014, Toulouse, France
			     Affiliated to ABZ 2014
			    http://sets2014.cnam.fr/
********************************************************************************

AIM

Sets and constructs built upon them like relations, functions, sequences are
the main modeling ingredients of formalisms such as VDM, Z, B, or Event-B.
Sets also occur in the formalization of mathematics, as evidenced by the large
library of the Mizar proof system for example. In addition, still in the
domain of theorem proving, there is an increasing interest to automate set
theory (which is known to be a difficult problem), with some concrete
realizations, such as mp (the "main prover" of Atelier B) or Muscadet (an
automated theorem prover for natural deduction, which gives some good
performances in set theory). Sets are also the main features of some
programming languages like the former SetL language or the more recent {log}
language (pronounced as setlog).

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers interested in set theory,
especially to design tools for dealing with set theory, such as interactive or
automated theorem provers, proof checkers, theories for general purpose proof
tools, constraint solvers, programming languages etc. These tools may be
dedicated or general purpose tools. Contributions by theoreticians working on
set theories or fragments of set theories in the aim of designing concrete
tools, and by practitioners using set-based tools are both welcome. We are
also interested by contributions providing some comparisons between set
modeling techniques and other formalisms, such as type theory (and variants)
for instance. Finally, regarding the domains of application, we mainly expect
contributions in the framework of formal methods, but not exhaustively, and
contributions reporting formalizations of mathematics using set theory for
example could be of interest for this workshop as well.

TOPICS

Topics of interest for this workshop include all aspects of set theory and
corresponding tools. More specifically, some suggested topics are:

 * Proof tools for sets
 * Constraint solvers for sets
 * Set-based programming languages
 * Automated deduction in set theory
 * Set theories for SMT solvers
 * Encoding of sets in provers
 * Use of set-based tools in formal methods
 * Use of set-based tools in mathematics
 * Comparison of set-based tools
 * Comparison between set and type theories
 * Experience reports

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

Submitted papers must be 6-15 pages in length, following the Springer LNCS
format. These submissions may be:

 * Research papers providing new concepts and results
 * Position papers and research perspectives
 * Experience reports
 * Tool presentations

Proceedings, including all the papers selected for the workshop, will be
available electronically at the workshop. No copyright transfer agreement will
be required from the authors. For this first edition of this workshop, we
would like to put the emphasis on discussions rather than on conventional
publications.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoc position on Reversible computing
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1403101351550.19300@localhost.localdomain>

 	Call for PostDocs

The ANR REVER project is seeking applicants for two 1-year
post-doctoral research positions. The work will be done either at the
Spades team at INRIA Grenoble, at the Focus team at University of
Bologna (joint team with INRIA Sophia Antipolis M?diterran?e) or at
the PPS laboratory at the University of Paris Denis Diderot.  The
REVER project aims at facilitating the programming of recoverable
systems, i.e. of systems that can tolerate faults by means of system
recovery techniques, using reversible computing.  More precisely, the
REVER project aims to study the possibility of defining semantically
well-founded and composable abstractions for dependable computing on
the basis of a reversible programming language substrate, where
reversibility means the ability to undo any distributed program
execution, possibly step by step, and to revert it to a state
consistent with the past execution.

See
http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jkrivine/ANR/REVER/ANR_REVER/Welcome.html
for more information on the REVER project.

The successful applicants will be expected to contribute to this
research effort, which will include both semantic foundations,
programming abstractions, and practical implementations.

Requirements for application:
* Ph.D. in Computer Science (completed or near completion)
* A research background on concurrency theory, programming language
semantics, programming language implementation, or distributed algorithms.

Application procedure:

* To apply send a curriculum, a publication record and a statement of
   interest via e-mail to Prof. Jean-Bernard Stefani
   <jean-bernard.stefani at inria.fr>, Dr. Ivan Lanese
   <lanese at cs.unibo.it>, and Dr Jean Krivine
   <jean.krivine at pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr>.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Final CFP: 7th Interaction and Concurrency
 Experience (ICE 2014) - June 6, 2014, Berlin, Germany
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1403101627120.20305@localhost.localdomain>

                 June 6, 2014, Berlin, Germany
            http://www.discotec.org/workshops/ice-2014


               Satellite workshop of DisCoTec 2014
                    http://www.discotec.org


=== Highlights ===

- Innovative selection procedure
- ICE welcomes submissions of full papers, short papers, and brief 
announcements of already published papers
- Invited talks: Kim Larsen and Pavol Cerny
- Special issue in a highly-reputed journal


=== Important Dates ===

12 March 2014...................Abstract submission
15 March 2014...................Full paper submission
16 March - 15 April 2014........Reviews and PC discussion
16 April 2014...................Notification to authors
6 June 2014.....................ICE in Berlin
15 September 2014...............Camera-ready for post-proceedings


=== Scope ===

Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international 
scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers with 
special interest in models, verification, tools, and programming primitives for 
complex interactions.

The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of 
interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of 
concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer science in 
the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and analysis to studies 
inspired by emerging computational models.

We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency, including but 
not limited to:
* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques

The special focus of ICE 2014 is automation in concurrency and interaction.


=== Selection Procedure ===

Since its 1st edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been an 
innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion amongst 
authors and PC members.

During the review phase, each submission is published on a dedicated discussion 
forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of the submission 
and by all the PC members not in conflict with the submission. The forum is 
used by reviewers to ask questions and clarifications to the authors, allowing 
them to better explain all the aspects of their submission. The evaluation of 
the submission will take into account not only the reviews, but also the 
outcome of the discussion.

As witnessed by the past six editions of ICE, this procedure considerably 
improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, the 
quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop.


=== Submission Guidelines ===

We invite for three types of submissions:
(1) Full Papers;
(2) Short Papers;
(3) Brief Announcements of already Published Papers.

Full and short papers will appear in the post-proceedings and must report 
previously unpublished work and not be simultaneously submitted to other 
conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The ICE 2014 post-proceedings 
will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science 
(http://eptcs.org/). In addition, we invite for brief announcements of already 
published results, should the authors be interested in discussing their 
published research with the ICE community and giving a talk. Brief 
announcements will not be part of the post-proceedings.

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair 
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2014). Full papers should not 
exceed 15 pages in length, while short papers and brief announcements should 
not exceed 5 pages with the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/).

Accepted (full and short) papers and brief announcements must be presented at 
the workshop by one of the authors.


=== Special Issue ===

We plan to invite extended versions of selected full papers to a special issue 
in a highly-reputed journal. Such contributions will be regularly peer-reviewed 
according to the standard journal policy, but they will be handled in a shorter 
time than regular submissions.

Message-ID: <531E35B4.4090504@ecs.vuw.ac.nz>

===================================================================
16th International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Java-like Programs 
(FTfJP'14)

Co-located with ECOOP 2014
July 28th, 2014, Uppsala, Sweden

http://ecs.victoria.ac.nz/Events/FTfJP2014/
==================================================================

Formal techniques can help analyze programs, precisely describe program 
behavior, and verify program properties. Newer languages such as Java, 
C#, and Scala provide good platforms to bridge the gap between formal 
techniques and practical program development, because of their 
reasonably clear semantics and standardized libraries. Moreover, these 
languages are interesting targets for formal techniques, because the 
novel paradigm for program deployment introduced with Java, with its 
improved portability and mobility, opens up new possibilities for abuse 
and causes concern about security.

Work on formal techniques and tools for programs and work on the formal 
underpinnings of programming languages themselves naturally complement 
each other. This workshop aims to bring together people working in both 
these fields, on topics such as:

* Language Semantics
* Specification techniques and languages
* Verification of program properties
* Verification logics
* Dynamic program analysis
* Static program analysis
* Type systems
* Challenge problems and solutions
* Security

===================================================================
Submissions
===================================================================
Contributions (of up to 6 pages in the ACM 2-column style) are sought on 
open questions, new developments, or interesting new applications of 
formal techniques in the context of Java or similar languages. 
Contributions should not merely present completely finished work, but 
also raise challenging open problems or propose speculative new 
approaches. We particularly welcome contributions that simply suggest 
good topics for discussion at the workshop, or raise issues that you 
feel deserve the attention of the research community. Contributions will 
be formally reviewed, for originality, relevance, and the potential to 
generate interesting discussions.

The workshop will be organized into four or more sessions, each focused 
on a specific topic, and initiated by a presentation of few related 
position papers by the respective participants, or the introduction of 
the specific topic by a single speaker, and followed by discussions.

Important Dates
===============
Paper Submission: April 1, 2014
Notification: May 1, 2014
Conference: July 23-24, 2014

Topics
======
Industrial-strength software analysis and verification has advanced in
recent years through the introduction of model checking, automated and
interactive theorem proving, and static analysis techniques, as well as
correctness by design, correctness by contract, and model-driven
development. However, many techniques are working under restrictive
assumptions that are invalidated by complex embedded systems software
such as operating system kernels, low-level device drivers, or
microcontroller code.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and developers
from both academia and industry who are facing real software and real
problems with the goal of finding real, applicable solutions. By "real"
we mean problems such as time-to-market or reliability that the industry
is facing. A real solution is one that is applicable to the problem in
industry and not one that only applies to an abstract, academic, toy
version of it. In this workshop we will discuss software analysis and
development techniques and tools; this forum will serve as a platform to
discuss open problems and future challenges in dealing with existing and
upcoming systems-level code.

Topics include, but are not restricted to:
* Model checking
* Automated and interactive theorem proving
* Static analysis
* Automated testing
* Model-driven development
* Embedded systems development
* Programming languages
* Verifying compilers
* Software certification
* Software tools
* Experience reports

Submissions
===========
Submissions must be made electronically through the EasyChair system
[https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssv2014] until April 1st,
2014. Papers should be up to 10 pages in pdf format and formatted in
EPTCS style [http://info.eptcs.org/]. Additional details may be included
in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of
the program committee. All will be subject to peer review under normal
conference standards. Experience reports and papers on work in progress
are welcome as long as there is a clear contribution. Submissions which
are based or discuss a non-trivial piece of software are required to
make all those non-standard software parts available, which a referee
may need, in order to check the claims of the submission.

Submitted papers must not have previously appeared in a journal or
conference with published proceedings and must not be concurrently
submitted to any other peer-reviewed workshop, symposium, conference or
archival journal. Any partial overlap with any such published or
concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated.

15th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
May 26-28, 2014
Utrecht University
Soesterberg, The Netherlands
http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/WebHome

*** Submission for TFP 2014 is now open: please direct your browser to
*** http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/PaperSubmission

The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international
forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional 
programming,
taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to
be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and 
other
contributions (see below), described in draft papers submitted prior to the
symposium. A formal post-symposium refereeing process then selects a subset
of the articles presented at the symposium and submitted for formal
publication.

Selected revised papers will be published as a Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) volume.

TFP 2014 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming events.
The other is the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming
in Education (TFPIE). TFPIE will take place on May 25th. Its website is 
located
at http://www.cs.uwyo.edu/~jlc/tfpie14/

The TFP symposium is the heir of the successful series of Scottish 
Functional
Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in
Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2003, in Munich (Germany) in 2004,
in Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005, in Nottingham (UK) in 2006,
in New York (USA) in 2007, in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008,
in Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009, in Oklahoma (USA) in 2010, in Madrid 
(Spain) in
2011, St. Andrews (UK) in 2012 and Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013.
For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage.

INVITED SPEAKERS

TFP is pleased to announce talks by the following two invited speakers:

John Hughes of Chalmers, Goteborg, Sweden, is well-known as author of
Why Functional Programming Matters, and as one of the designers of 
QuickCheck
(together with Koen Claessen); the paper on QuickCheck won the
ICFP Most Influential Paper Award in 2010. Currently he divides his time 
between
his professorship and Quviq, a company that performs property-based 
testing of
software with a tool implemented in Erlang.

Dr. Geoffrey Mainland received his PhD from Harvard University where he was
advised by Greg Morrisett and Matt Welsh. After a two year postdoc with the
Programming Principles and Tools group at Microsoft Research Cambridge, 
he is
now an assistant professor at Drexel University. His research focuses on
high-level programming language and runtime support for non-general purpose
computation.

SCOPE

The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes.
As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the
following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited 
in any
of these categories:

     Research Articles: leading-edge, previously unpublished research work
     Position Articles: on what new trends should or should not be
     Project Articles: descriptions of recently started new projects
     Evaluation Articles: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project
     Overview Articles: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject

Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to
any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming:
theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented.
Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are
also within the scope of the symposium.

Topics suitable for the symposium include:

     Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing
     Functional programming in the cloud
     High performance functional computing
     Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs
     Dependently typed functional programming
     Validation and verification of functional programs
     Using functional techniques to reason about 
imperative/object-oriented programs
     Debugging for functional languages
     Functional programming in different application areas:
       security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded 
systems,
       global computing, grids, etc.
     Interoperability with imperative programming languages
     Novel memory management techniques
     Program analysis and transformation techniques
     Empirical performance studies
     Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages
     (Embedded) domain specific languages
     New implementation strategies
     Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area

If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP,
please contact the TFP 2014 program chair, Jurriaan Hage at J.Hage at uu.nl.

BEST PAPER AWARDS

To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper
accepted for the formal proceedings.

TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students,
acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject
trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper
is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors,
and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper
is awarded each year.

In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize.
In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then
receive both prizes.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

TFP is financially supported by the Department of Information and
Computing Sciences of Utrecht University, NWO (Netherlands Organisation
for Scientific Research), Well-Typed and Erlang Solutions.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a
lightweight peer review process of extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in
length) or full papers (16 pages). The submission must clearly indicate
which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation,
or overview paper. It should also indicate whether the main author or
authors are research students. In the case of a FULL STUDENT paper, the
draft paper will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members 
shortly
after the symposium has taken place. For the preproceedings, papers
can be in any format (inclduing LNCS, IEEE and ACM style), but papers
submitted to the postrefereeing process must be in LNCS style, and
are bound by the limitations on paper length.

We use EasyChair for the refereeing process.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Microsoft Research PhD Scholarship: TypeScript,
	The Next Generation
Message-ID: <CAESRbcrhSj7YVpP3KwNPc1408SRESkXqF25wi1=9Vc1LQcc5xA@mail.gmail.com>

We are recruiting one PhD student to work on design and implementation of
programming languages. The post is on the project *TypeScript, The Next
Generation*, and is funded by a Microsoft Research PhD
Scholarship<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/msr_er/archive/2014/02/28/2014-microsoft-research-phd-scholarship-projects-announced.aspx>.


There is increasing interest in integrating dynamically and statically
typed programming languages, as witnessed in industry by the development of
the languages TypeScript and Dart, and in academia by the development of
the theories of gradual types, hybrid types, and the blame calculus. The
purpose of our project is to bring the academic and industrial developments
together, applying theory to improve practice.

Our project focusses on JavaScript, an ECMA standard, and its typed variant
TypeScript, an open-source project sponsored by Microsoft. JavaScript plays
a central role in web-based applications and the new Windows 8 framework,
and TypeScript is seeing rapid takeup, with over 150 JavaScript libraries
now provided with TypeScript declarations. Our project has two parts, one
aimed at immediate short-term application, and one aimed at fundamental
long-term research.

   - *TypeScript TNG* The short-term goal is to build a tool, TypeScript:
   The Next Generation (or TypeScript TNG for short), that generates wrapper
   code from TypeScript import declarations to detect and pinpoint type
   errors. A wrapper will accept any JavaScript value as input, and either
   raise an error or return a value guaranteed to satisfy the invariant
   associated with the corresponding type. In particular, wrappers for generic
   types will assure surprisingly strong guarantees, known as "theorems for
   free". Our hypothesis is that TypeScript TNG will aid debugging and
   increase reliablility of TypeScript and JavaScript code.
   - *A wide-spectrum type system*. The long-term goal is to extend the
   foundations of the blame calculus to support a wide-spectrum of type
   systems, ranging from dynamic types (as in JavaScript or Racket) through
   generic types (as in F# or Haskell) to dependent types (as in F* or Coq).
   Our hypothesis is that a wide-spectrum type system will increase the
   utility of dependent types, by allowing dynamic checks to be used as a
   fallback when static validation is problematic.

 The workplan is likely to be too ambitious for a single PhD studentship.
Which aspects are carried out will depend on which seem the most promising
as our work develops, and on the abilities and desires of the student.

The successful candidate will join the ABCD
team<http://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/abcd/>,
carrying out a research programme investigating sesion types and web
programming. The project is jointly supervised by Andrew Gordon of
Microsoft Research Cambridge and the University of Edinburgh.

You should possess an undergraduate degree in a relevant area, or being
nearing completion of same, or have comparable experience. You should have
evidence of ability to undertake research and communicate well. You should
have a background in programming languages, including type systems, and
programming and software engineering skills.

It is desirable for candidates to also have one or more of the following: a
combination of theoretical and practical skills; experience of JavaScript
or web programming; knowledge of dependent type theory; or training in
empirical measurement of programming tasks. We especially welcome
applications from women and minorities.

We seek applicants at an international level of excellence. The School of
Informatics at Edinburgh is among the strongest in the world, and Edinburgh
is known as a cultural centre providing a high quality of life.

The successful candidate will receive a studentship covering tuition and
subsistence. Students from the UK or EU are preferred. Consult the
University of Edinburgh website for details of how to
apply<http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/informatics/postgraduate/apply/overview>.


If you are interested, please send an outline of your qualifications to:

Message-ID: <CANr23v2Lr3rKWAd2w5jLnXfySCYFc0_Zmrv1pu2kn66RPwHJ0Q@mail.gmail.com>

We are delighted to announce the following event:

  A CONFERENCE IN HONOUR OF PRAKASH PANANGADEN
  ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY

  * 23--25 May 2014, University of Oxford, UK

Ouaknine / Palamidessi / Plotkin / Precup / Rutten / Sadrzadeh / Scott
/ Selinger / Silva / Sorkin / van Breugel / Vicary / Winskel / Worrell / Ying

Prakash has made major contributions across a remarkably wide range of
topics, including probabilistic and concurrent computation, logic and
duality, and quantum information and computation. His work is
characterised by the qualities of elegance, clarity and concern for
fundamentals, and has been instrumental in making connections between
different research areas and communities. Equally important for his
many friends has been the infectious enthusiasm and enjoyment he
brings to his scientific work, and the generous and sustained support
and encouragement he has given to many junior colleagues.

The workshop will feature talks by many of Prakash's friends and
collaborators. We anticipate that this will be a very enjoyable event,
blending fun and science - how could a meeting for Prakash be
otherwise! We warmly invite everyone to participate. Information on
how to register can be found on the conference web page.

This event is twinned with a Spring School in Quantum Structures in
Physics and Computer Science, to be held on the dates 19--22 May 2014
at the University of Oxford:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES 
===============

1 June 2014: Proposal submission deadline 
23 September 2014: Notification
June 2015: Course material due

TOPICS AND FORMAT 
=================

Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI'2015 are invited in all
areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computing Sciences.
Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged.

Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions,
offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week
courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week
courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one.
In such cases, the ESSLLI programme committee reserves the right to
accept just one of the two proposals.

All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed
completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a
minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration
fees waved, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses
up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal
notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one
course/workshop organizer, and can not guarantee full reimbursement of
travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The
ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the
School's expenses by seeking complete coverage of travel and
accommodation expenses from other sources.

CATEGORIES 
==========

Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories.

* FOUNDATIONAL COURSES *
Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to
people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of
elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though
possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the
relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related
disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental
concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to
the interdisciplinary nature of our research community.

* INTRODUCTORY COURSES *
Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are
intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers,
and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its
basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers
from related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the
topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area
may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines.

* ADVANCED COURSES *
Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish
to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current
research of a field.

* WORKSHOPS *
Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest.
Workshops organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and
selecting the workshop programme. They are also responsible for
publishing proceedings if they decide to have proceedings.

PROPOSAL GUIDELINES 
===================

Course and workshop proposals should follow closely the following
guidelines to ensure full consideration.

Each course may have no more than two instructors, and each workshop
no more than two organizers. All instructors and organizers must
possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline.

Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course
category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the
intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and
monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify
the prerequisites in detail.

Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2015

and include all of the following:

a. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact
    address, email, homepage (optional)

b. General proposal information: Title, category

c. Contents information:
    Abstract of up to 150 words
    Motivation and description (up to two pages)
    Tentative outline
    Expected level and prerequisites
    Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys)

d. Practical information:
    Relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable
    Potential external funding for participants

== TOPICS OF INTEREST ==

* Theoretical models and frameworks for component and service
coordination, service composition, service adaptation and concurrent
system modeling.
* Applications and usability studies for the aforementioned theoretical
models, interaction and coordination challenges in decentralized
self-adaptive systems and various application domains.
* Languages and specification protocols for component and service
interaction, their semantics, expressiveness, validation and
verification, type checking, static and dynamic analysis.
* "Software as a Service" models (e.g., cloud computing) and dynamic
software architectures, such as self-adaptive and self-organizing
systems.
* Tools and environments for the development of concurrent and
customizable self-monitoring, self-adaptive and self-organizing
applications.
* Algorithms, mathematical models and realization frameworks for
quality-of-service observation, storage, history-based analysis in
self-adaptive systems (queuing models, load balancing, fault-tolerance
analysis, machine learning systems).
* Formal methods for self-adaptive systems, stochastic modeling and
analysis, reasoning under uncertainty, run-time synthesis.

In particular, practice, experience and methodologies from the following
areas are solicited as well:

* Business process modeling
* Cloud computing
* Service-oriented computing
* Component-based systems
* Grid computing
* Large-scale distributed systems
* Multi-agent systems
* Peer-to-peer systems

Survey works analysing and comparing literature on the topics of FOCLASA are
also welcome.

== PAPER SUBMISSION ==

Submissions must describe authors' original research work and their
results. Description of work-in-progress with concrete results is also
encouraged. The contributions should not exceed 15 pages in the EPTCS
style (http://style.eptcs.org/) and should be submitted as Portable
Document Format (PDF) files using the EasyChair submission site:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=foclasa2014

Submitting an abstract does not put any obligation on the authors to
submit a full paper. Abstracts without an accompanying full paper by the
paper submission deadline are automatically considered withdrawn. The
authors are, however, encouraged to explicitly withdraw their abstract,
if they decide not to submit a full paper.

All submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee
who will make a selection among the submissions based on the novelty,
soundness and applicability of the presented ideas and results.
Concurrent submission to other venues (conferences, workshops or
journal) and submission of papers under consideration elsewhere are not
allowed. A printed version of the proceedings will be distributed among
participants during the workshop. The proceedings of the workshop will
be published as a separate volume. Participants will give a presentation
of their papers in twenty minutes, followed by a ten-minute round of
questions and discussion on participants' work. Following the tradition
of the past editions, we plan to have a special issue of an
international scientific journal devoted to FOCLASA 2014. Selected
participants will be invited to submit an extended version of their
papers after the workshop. These extended versions will be reviewed by
an international program committee, which will decide on their final
publication on the special issue. In the last few editions of FOCLASA, a
special issue of Science of Computer Programming has been dedicated to
this workshop.

5th International Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Peer-to-Peer and
Autonomic Systems (MOSPAS 2014)
http://hpcs2014.cisedu.info/2-conference/workshops/workshop-07-mospas

CALL FOR PAPERS


As part of
The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation
(HPCS 2014)
http://hpcs2014.cisedu.info/ or http://cisedu.us/rp/hpcs14


July 21 - 25, 2014
Bologna, Italy


Paper Submission Deadline (Extended): March 28, 2014


SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
High Performance Computing at extreme scale sets new challenges which have
to be faced to guarantee fault tolerance and reliability. The Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) and Autonomic Computing (AC) paradigms have emerged as highly
appealing, scalable solutions to tackle the above issues and the growing
complexity of such software and hardware technologies. While P2P solutions
put the emphasis on decentralization and sharing of resources, AC solutions
are based on equipping computational entities with autonomic (self-*)
features. These approaches are, of course, complementary and are often
combined together in modern distributed systems that avoid central
coordination and human intervention. The design, implementation, and
analysis of these complex systems pose several challenges, both with
functional and non-functional properties, depending on network size, churn
rate and application context. This workshop has the goal of providing an
international forum for researchers and practitioners willing to present,
discuss and exchange innovative research results and advanced topics that
combine theoretical and practical approaches to modeling and high
performance simulation, but also modeling and simulation of high
performance (extreme scale) systems.


The workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following issues
of P2P and Autonomic systems:
- M&S of High Performance Systems
- High Performance M&S
- Formal Modeling and Analysis
- Discrete Event Modeling and Simulation
- Agent-based Simulation
- Novel Techniques for M&S
- M&S-Based Development Methods
- High Performance Fault Tolerance / Resilience at Extreme Scale
- Evaluation of Combined P2P and AC Systems
- Overlay Schemes Performance Evaluation
- Analysis of P2P/AC-based Applications and Services
- Workload Characterization and Simulation
- Analysis of Emergent Behaviors
- Evaluation of Trust and Reputation Systems
- Verification at Runtime of AC Systems
- Real-Time Aspects, including Timing Violations for Multimedia and Other
Real-Time Traffic
- Analysis of novel network services supporting P2P such as RELOAD and ALTO
- Impact of P2P Traffic on the Network Infrastructure

                            ICE 2014
            7th Interaction and Concurrency Experience
                 June 6, 2014, Berlin, Germany
            http://www.discotec.org/workshops/ice-2014


               Satellite workshop of DisCoTec 2014
                    http://www.discotec.org


=== Highlights ===

- Innovative selection procedure
- ICE welcomes submissions of full papers, short papers, and brief 
announcements of already published papers
- Invited talks: Kim Larsen and Pavol Cerny
- Special issue in a highly-reputed journal


=== Important Dates ===

19 March 2014...................Abstract submission (new)
22 March 2014...................Full paper submission (new)
23 March - 15 April 2014........Reviews and PC discussion
16 April 2014...................Notification to authors
6 June 2014.....................ICE in Berlin
15 September 2014...............Camera-ready for post-proceedings


=== Scope ===

Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international 
scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers with 
special interest in models, verification, tools, and programming primitives for 
complex interactions.

The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of 
interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of 
concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer science in 
the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and analysis to studies 
inspired by emerging computational models.

We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency, including but 
not limited to:
* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques

The special focus of ICE 2014 is automation in concurrency and interaction.


=== Selection Procedure ===

Since its 1st edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been an 
innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion amongst 
authors and PC members.

During the review phase, each submission is published on a dedicated discussion 
forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of the submission 
and by all the PC members not in conflict with the submission. The forum is 
used by reviewers to ask questions and clarifications to the authors, allowing 
them to better explain all the aspects of their submission. The evaluation of 
the submission will take into account not only the reviews, but also the 
outcome of the discussion.

As witnessed by the past six editions of ICE, this procedure considerably 
improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, the 
quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop.


=== Submission Guidelines ===

We invite for three types of submissions:
(1) Full Papers;
(2) Short Papers;
(3) Brief Announcements of already Published Papers.

Full and short papers will appear in the post-proceedings and must report 
previously unpublished work and not be simultaneously submitted to other 
conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The ICE 2014 post-proceedings 
will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science 
(http://eptcs.org/). In addition, we invite for brief announcements of already 
published results, should the authors be interested in discussing their 
published research with the ICE community and giving a talk. Brief 
announcements will not be part of the post-proceedings.

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair 
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2014). Full papers should not 
exceed 15 pages in length, while short papers and brief announcements should 
not exceed 5 pages with the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/).

Accepted (full and short) papers and brief announcements must be presented at 
the workshop by one of the authors.


=== Special Issue ===

We plan to invite extended versions of selected full papers to a special issue 
in a highly-reputed journal. Such contributions will be regularly peer-reviewed 
according to the standard journal policy, but they will be handled in a shorter 
time than regular submissions.

Message-ID: <CAD65j9kN6Nqya1bZZQFcOxaSE_NrSZfFddb2co-nwp2ZkBCCLQ@mail.gmail.com>

===================================================================
                ACM SIGPLAN
                HASKELL SYMPOSIUM 2014
                CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

    Gothenburg, Sweden, 4-5 September 2014, directly after ICFP
    http://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2014
    haskell2014 at easychair.org
===================================================================


The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2014 will be colocated with the 2014
International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP) in
Gothenburg, Sweden. Like last year, the symposium will last 2 days.
Thanks to broader participation from a growing community, we will be
able to include more regular papers as well as system demonstrations,
while upholding the scientific quality of the symposium.

The Haskell Symposium seeks to present original research on Haskell,
to discuss practical experience and future development of the
language, as well as to promote other forms of denotative programming.
Topics of interest include

* Language Design, with a focus on possible extensions and
  modifications of Haskell as well as critical discussions of the
  status quo;

* Theory, such as formal semantics of the present language or future
  extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and foundations for
  program analysis and transformation;

* Implementations, including program analysis and transformation,
  static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and
  distributed architectures, memory management, as well as foreign
  function and component interfaces;

* Tools, such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors, and
  testing tools;

* Applications, to scientific and symbolic computing, databases,
  multimedia, telecommunication, the web, and so forth;

* Functional Pearls, being elegant and instructive programming
  examples;

* Experience Reports, to document general practice and experience in
  education, industry, or other contexts. Such reports are shorter
  than regular papers; they are limited to six pages.

Papers in the latter two categories need not necessarily report
original research results.  They may report instead, for example,
reusable programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or
practical experience that will be useful to other users, implementors,
or researchers.  The key criterion for such a paper is that it makes a
contribution from which other Haskellers can benefit.  It is not
enough simply to describe a program!

Regular papers should explain their research contributions in both
general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished,
explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work
(also for other languages where appropriate).

In addition, we solicit proposals for

* System Demonstrations (no longer than a regular paper talk), based
  on running (perhaps prototype) software rather than necessarily on
  novel research results.

These proposals should summarize the system capabilities that would be
demonstrated. The proposals should explain (and will be judged on)
whether the ensuing session is likely to be important and interesting
to the Haskell community at large, whether on grounds academic or
industrial, theoretical or practical, technical or social.  Please
contact the program chair with any questions about the relevance of a
proposal.


Travel Support:
===============

Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC
grant to help cover travel expenses.  PAC also offers other support,
such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs
for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well
as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe.  For
details on the PAC programme, see its web page
(http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm).


Proceedings:
============

ACM Press will publish formal proceedings.  Accepted papers will be
included in the ACM Digital Library.  Authors must grant ACM
publication rights upon acceptance (http://authors.acm.org/main.html),
but may retain copyright if they wish.  Authors are encouraged to
publish auxiliary material with their paper (source code, test data,
and so forth).  The proceedings will be freely available for download
from the ACM Digital Library from one week before the start of the
conference until two weeks after the conference.

Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the
symposium web page, but not formally published in the proceedings.

Submission Details:
===================

Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF),
formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm).  The text
should be in a 9-point font in two columns.  The length is restricted
to 12 pages, except for "Experience Report" papers, which are
restricted to 6 pages.  Papers need not fill the page limit.  Each
paper submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as
explained on the web.

Proposals for system demonstrations are limited to 2-page abstracts,
in the same ACM format as papers.

"Functional Pearls", "Experience Reports", and "Demo Proposals" should
be marked as such with those words in the title at time of submission.

The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm.  There
will be no extensions, and papers violating the length limitations
will be summarily rejected.

7th  International Workshop on Numerical Software Verification

July 17-18, 2014

A Sattelite Workshop of Vienna Summer of Logic 2014, Collocated with CAV 2014
Vienna, Austria


Web Page: http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~bouissou/NSV14


Important Dates
===============
Submissions deadline: March 20th 2014.
Notification: May 4th 2014.
Final version: May 25th 2014.
Workshop: July 17th-18th 2014.


Novelty of this edition
=======================
The 2014 edition of NSV will be published electronically by Elsevier
in the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science Serie (ENTCS).

In this new NSV edition, we encourage publications about the numerical
issues in new domains, in particular computational finance and
biological systems: problems, consequences and state-of-the-art
approaches.


Description of the Workshop
===========================
Numerical computations are ubiquitous in digital systems: supervision,
prediction, simulation and signal processing rely heavily on numerical
calculus to achieve desired goals. Verification of numerical
algorithms has a unique set of challenges, which set it apart from
the rest of software verification. To achieve the verification and
validation of global properties, numerical techniques need to
precisely represent local behaviors of each component. In fact, in
numerical algorithms, coarse abstractions are unlikely to succeed
essentially because of the above mentioned issue. The implementation
of numerical techniques on modern hardware adds another layer of
approximation: the use of finite representations of infinite
precision numbers usually lack basic arithmetic properties such
as commutativity and associativity. It is hence imperative to develop
logical and mathematical techniques that would allow reasoning about
programmability and reliability. The NSV workshop is dedicated to the
current development and the future prospects for such techniques.


Topics
===============
The scope of the workshop includes, but is not restricted to, the
following topics:
- Models and abstraction techniques
- Specifications of correctness for numerical programs
- Formal specification and verification of numerical programs
- Quality of finite precision implementations
- Propagation of uncertainties, deterministic and probabilistic models
- Numerical properties of control software
- Hybrid systems verification
- Validation for space, avionics, automotive and real-time applications
- Validation for scientific computing programs
- Optimality of program behavior
- Trade-offs between quality of service and resource (for example
 energy) consumption in programs
- Benchmarks and tools for numerical software verification
- Numerical issues in computational finance



Submission information
======================
We solicit regular and short papers.
Paper submission must be performed via the EasyChair system:

http://easychair.org/?conf=nsv14

Regular papers must describe original work, be written and presented
in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with refereed proceedings. Submitted papers will be judged
on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and
clarity. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and
why it is significant.

Regular paper submissions should not exceed 15 pages in ENTCS style,
including bibliography and well-marked appendices:
     http://www.entcs.org/prelim.html
Program committee members are not required to read the appendices, and
thus papers must be intelligible without them.

Short papers are also welcomed, they should present tools, benchmarks,
case-studies or be extended abstracts of ongoing research. Short
papers should not exceed 6 pages.

Regular papers will be published electronically by Elsevier in the
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science serie ENTCS), all
accepted (regular and short) papers will also be included in the
Vienna Summer of Logic USB-stick distributed to all participants to the VSL.

***

Dr Alastair Donaldson and Professor George Constantinides are seeking 
talented Researchers for an exciting project running between the 
Departments of Computing and Electronic Engineering.

Many software applications conceptually involve computation with real 
numbers, which is in practice realised through real approximations, such 
as fixed-point and floating representations. These approximations 
involve associated calculation error.  While in some domains, e.g. video 
games, a relatively high degree of error may be acceptable, in others, 
e.g. scientific computing or computational geometry, the correctness of 
algorithms may depend critically on errors remaining within some 
range. This motivates techniques for verifying numerical accuracy of 
algorithms that use real number approximations.  Another motivation is 
the desire to implement algorithms in hardware, optimising for energy 
and area. Minimising the precision of components that approximate real 
number calculations can lead to energy and area gains, as long as 
precision remains adequate for correctness. This leads to a large 
potential optimisation space, and verification methods for assessing the 
adequacy of precision bounds provide a means for navigating this space.

This project will investigate the verification of correctness 
specifications for programs that manipulate real number approximations, 
through compilation from source code (e.g. OpenCL) into an intermediate 
format (e.g. Microsoft's Boogie language) where approximate calculations 
are transformed into (non-approximate) real number computation, with the 
introduction of real-valued error functions to model loss of 
precision. From this intermediate format, verification will involve 
discharging verification conditions to a satisfiability modulo theories 
(SMT) solver equipped with methods for reasoning about real 
arithmetic. For example, the Z3 SMT solver employs cylindrical algebraic 
decomposition (CAD), a semi-algebraic method, for this purpose. This 
will open the door for two avenues for further investigation: firstly, 
the (manual or automatic) synthesis of loop invariants to allow 
reasoning about these sorts of programs; secondly, the possibility of 
domain-specific methods for reasoning in real arithmetic, taking 
advantage of problem structure to overcome the scalability limitations 
arising from the worst case complexity of general semi-algebraic methods.

The position will be based at the South Kensington campus of Imperial 
College and could begin as soon as possible, although candidates who 
require some delay could be equally accommodated.

Strong applicants will have a background in formal verification or 
computer arithmetic and strong programming skills.  Candidates should 
have a PhD (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering 
or a closely related subject.  Suitable applicants nearing completion of 
a PhD will be considered for initial appointment at Research Assistant 
level.

The postdoc position is for 1 year, starting end of 2014 (October ideally)

Salary: 2.620 euros gross monthly (about 2.135 euros net).

Abstract
========

We are interested in dataflow models of computation to program
applications for manycore chips. In order to ensure analysis and
scheduling, the synchronous dataflow model (SDF) is widely used
because it allows static analyses (liveness and buffer boundedness)
and scheduling. SDF has a clean semantics and leads to efficient
implementations but it cannot express many dynamic features. In
particular, it cannot express dynamic I/O rate modifications, nor
dynamic topology modifications.  For this reason, many variants of SDF
have been proposed, among which we can cite BDF, CSDF, HDF, VRDF,
PSDF, and SPDF.

We have recently proposed BPDF [1], a dataflow model with integer and
boolean parameters able to express dynamicity while remaining
verifiable and schedulable. Integer parameters define rate
modifications while boolean parameters specify some dynamic topology
modifications (activation and deactivation of dataflow edges).

The postdoctoral project will focus on extending the expressivity of
BPDF and/or study multi-criteria scheduling of the model on multi-core
platforms.

- possible extensions of BPDF are more expressive changes of the
   topology (e.g., adding/removing actors and edges). Since the model
   of computation should remain analysable for liveness and
   boundedness, such linguistic extensions usually entails extensions
   of the corresponding analyses.

- parallel schedules of BPDF dataflow applications for manycore chips
   can be generated according several criteria: throughput (useful for
   streaming application), input-output latency (useful for real-time
   applications), power consumption (useful for autonomous
   applications), to cite a few. One of the difficulty here resides in
   multi-criteria scheduling with antagonistic criteria.

Required Skills
===============

A PhD in formal methods, embedded systems, and/or real-time
programming (e.g., analysis, semantics, verification, validation, code
generation, ...). A knowledge of dataflow programming and/or
scheduling would be a plus.

Send CV + contact information of 2 or 3 recommenders to Pascal Fradet
and Alain Girault.

----

The ICTCC 2014 jointly organized by EAI and Nguyen Tat Thanh University
(NTTU) is a place for highly original ideas about how the nature is going
to shape computing systems of the future. Hence, it focuses on rigorous
approaches and cutting-edge solutions, which encompass three classes of
major methods:

    Those that take inspiration from nature for the development of novel
problem solving techniques;
    Those that are based on the use of computers or networks to synthesize
natural phenomena; and
    Those that employ natural materials (e.g., molecules,) to compute or
communicate.

Its purpose is to make a formal basis more accessible to researchers,
scientists, professionals and students as well as developers and
practitioners in ICT by providing them with state-of-the-art research
results, applications, opportunities and future trends.

We hope that the conference will receive many papers and the participation
of a large number of students, researchers, and professionals from all over
the world.

Original papers are solicited for the ICTCC 2014. In particular,
theoretical contributions should be formally stated and justified, and
practical applications should be based on their firm formal basis.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
SCOPE OF TOPICS:

    Autonomic computing/communicating
    Amorphous computing
    Biologically-inspired computing/communicating

**************************************************************/

The ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) embraces all aspects of software construction and delivery to make it the premier conference at the intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. SPLASH is now accepting submissions. We invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished work.

** OOPSLA Research Papers** 
Papers that address any aspect of software development are welcome, including requirements, modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, maintenance, reuse, replacement, and retirement of software systems. Papers may address these topics in a variety of ways, including new tools (such as languages, program analyses, and runtime systems), new techniques (such as methodologies, design processes, code organization approaches, and management techniques), and new evaluations (such as formalisms and proofs, corpora analyses, user studies, and surveys).

Submissions Due: 25 March, 2014
http://splashcon.org/2014/oopsla.html

** Onward! Research Papers ** 
Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, communities, and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting on programming language and software engineering research.

Submissions Due: 25 March, 2014
http://splashcon.org/2014/onward.html

** Onward! Essays **
Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community. An essay can be an exploration of a topic, its impact, or the circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps that by which the author reached an understanding of such a topic. The subject area should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings.

Submissions Due: 29 March, 2014
http://splashcon.org/2014/essays.html

** Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) **
DLS is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and research on dynamic languages, their implementation, and applications.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 1st Workshop on Logics and MODel-checking for self-* systems (MOD*)

http://modstar.cs.unibo.it/

12 September 2014, Bertinoro, Italy

Affiliated with iFM 2014: The 11th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods

Logics and model-checking have been successfully used in the last decades for modeling and verification of various types of hardware and software systems. While most languages and techniques emerged in a context of monolithic systems with a limited self-adaptability, modern systems require approaches able to cope with dynamically changing requirements and emergent behaviors. The emphasis on system reconfigurability has not been followed by an adequate research effort, and the current state of the art lacks logics and model checking paradigms that can describe and analyze complex modern systems in a comprehensive way.

This workshop aims at filling this gap by bringing together researchers and practitioners with the goal of pushing forward the state of the art on logics and model checking, with particular attention on the specification and verification of systems in the following (and further) categories:

self-adaptive systems
self-reconfiguring systems
self-organizing systems
cyber-physical systems
hybrid systems
elastic systems
multi-agent systems

The workshop focuses on demonstrating the applicability of Formal Methods in practical contexts. Therefore, both methodological/theoretical and industrial/applicative papers are welcome.

Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:26:25 +0900
Subject: [TYPES/announce] RV 2014: 3rd Call for Papers, Deadline in 3 weeks
Message-ID: <CAKgbZpwK2Pj4=ZSFzWXMmJKW+ZYu=ftAeHqPbgnacXBa8QZSUA@mail.gmail.com>

[Apologizes for duplicates]
14th International Conference on
Runtime Verification
September 22 - 25, 2014
*Toronto, Canada*

http://rv2014.imag.fr/

 <http://rv2014.imag.fr/images/CfP.pdf>

Scope:

Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of software
and hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques are crucial
for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they are significantly
more powerful and versatile than conventional testing, and more practical
than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime verification can be used prior
to deployment, for testing, verification, and debugging purposes, and after
deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for providing
fault containment and recovery as well as online system repair. Topics of
interest to the conference include:

   - specification languages
   - specification mining
   - program instrumentation
   - monitor construction techniques
   - logging, recording, and replay
   - fault detection, localization, containment, recovery and repair
   - program steering and adaptation
   - metrics and statistical information gathering
   - combination of static and dynamic analyses
   - program execution visualization
   - monitoring techniques for safety/mission-critical systems
   - monitoring distributed systems, cloud services, and big data
   applications
   - monitoring security and privacy policies

Application areas of runtime verification include safety/mission-critical
systems, enterprise and systems software, autonomous and reactive control
systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and
privacy.



Technical Research Papers Track:

Technical research papers can be submitted in two categories: regular and
short papers. Papers in both categories will be reviewed by the conference
Program Committee. All accepted technical papers will appear in an
LNCS<http://www.springer.com/series/558> volume.
Submitted papers must use the LNCS
style<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>.
At least one author of each accepted paper must attend RV'14 to present the
paper. Papers must be submitted electronically using
theEasyChair<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv2014>
 system.


   - *Regular papers* (up to 15 pages) should present original unpublished
   results. Theoretical and experimental papers as well as papers on
   applications of runtime verification and case studies are all welcome. A
   non-monetary Best Paper Award will be given. A selection of accepted
   regular papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of the Springer
   Journal on Formal Methods in System Design.


   - *Short papers* (up to 5 pages) may present novel but not necessarily
   thoroughly worked out ideas, for example emerging runtime verification
   techniques and applications, or techniques and applications that establish
   relationships between runtime verification and other domains. Accepted
   short papers will be presented in special short talk (10 minutes) and
   poster sessions.

Tool Demonstrations Track:

The aim of the RV 2014 tool demonstration track is to provide an
opportunity for researchers and practitioners to show and to discuss the
latest advances, experiences and challenges in devising and developing
reliable software tools for runtime verification. Tool demonstration papers
will be reviewed by the Tools Track Program Committee. All accepted tool
demonstration papers will appear in the conference proceedings LNCS volume.
Submitted papers must use the LNCS style. At least one author of each
accepted paper must attend RV'14 to present the paper. Papers must be
submitted electronically using the
EasyChair<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv2014>
 system.

Tool papers should meet the following criteria:

   - A tool paper should present a new tool, a new tool component or novel
   extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification. Each
   submission should be original and not published previously in a tool paper
   form.
   - Each submission must not exceed 8 pages in the LNCS/Springer
   proceeding format, including all text, references and figures. The paper
   must be written in English and provided in PDF format.
   - Each submission must be accompanied at the time of the submission by a
   short screencast (between 5-10 minutes), with voice and overlay text
   commentary illustrating the demonstration of the tool (a link to it should
   be provided in the paper).
   - The paper must include information on tool availability, maturity,
   selected experimental results and it should provide a link to a website
   containing the theoretical background and user guide. Furthermore, we
   strongly encourage authors to make their tools and benchmarks available
   with their submission.
   - Each tool paper must include a script in an appendix (not included in
   the page count) describing how the demo will be conducted during the
   conference presentation with screenshots presenting step-by-step the tool's
   capabilities, highlighting the main characteristics and the usage.



Evaluation

Each submission will be reviewed by at least four members of the tool
demonstration track program committee. The evaluation criteria will include:

   - the presentation quality
   - the availability (possibly in a open-source format) of the software.
   - the relevance for the Runtime Verification audience
   - the technical soundness of the presented tool
   - the originality of the underlying ideas

   verification tools and the maintenance of the already developed ones.
   - Produce a benchmark suite for runtime verification tools, by sharing
   case studies and programs that researchers and developers can use in the
   future to test and to validate their prototypes.
   - Discuss the metrics employed for comparing the tools.
   - Provide a comparison of the tools running with different benchmarks
   and evaluating using different criteria.
   - Enhance the visibility of presented tools among the different
   communities (software engineering, formal methods and automated
   verification, distributed computing, security, and safety-critical systems)
   involved in software monitoring.

CRVS'14 will follow the following time line:

   - *Declaration of intent:* December 15, 2013
   - *Deadline for submission of benchmarks:* March 1, 2014
   - *Monitoring tool submission:* June 1, 2014

Third International Workshop on Bidirectional Transformations (BX 2014)
Friday March 28th, 2014
Athens, Greece
co-located with EDBT/ICDT 2014

Workshop information: http://bx-community.wikidot.com/bx2014:home
Online Proceedings: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1133/#bx

Online registration is open until March 20th at

On-site registration is also available during the conference 
(at a higher rate).

-----

Bidirectional transformations (bx) are a mechanism for maintaining the
consistency of at least two related sources of information. Such
sources can be relational data, software models, documents, graphs,
trees, and so on. BX are an emerging topic in a wide range of research
areas with prominent presence at top conferences in different
fields. However, much of the research in bx tends to get limited
exposure outside of a single field of study.  The purpose of this
workshop series is not only to further research into bx, but to
promote cross-disciplinary research and awareness in the area.

Systems biology aims at providing a system-level understanding of biological systems by 
unveiling their structure, dynamics and control methods. Living systems are intrinsically 
multi-scale in space, in organization levels and in time; they also exhibit a mixture of 
deterministic and stochastic behaviors. It is therefore very difficult to model them in 
a uniform way, for instance, by systems of differential equations or by discrete-event systems. 
Furthermore, such models are often not easily amenable to formal analysis and their simulations 
at the organ or even the cell level are frequently impractical. Indeed, an important open problem 
is finding appropriate computational models that scale-up well for both simulation and formal 
analysis of biological processes.
Hybrid modeling techniques, combining discrete and continuous processes, are gaining more and 
more attention in systems biology, and they have been applied to successfully capture the 
behavior of several biological complex systems, ranging from genetic regulatory networks, 
metabolic reactions, signaling pathways as well as higher level models of tissues and organs. 
As the challenges of scale and intrinsic inhomogeneity are coming to the forefront of systems 
biology efforts, they highlight the value of a hybrid dynamical modeling paradigm that integrates 
mathematical models that apply at different spatio-temporal scales and subsystems.

In this spirit, the scope of the HSB workshop is the general area of dynamical models in Biology 
with an emphasis on hybrid approaches, which are not restricted to a narrow class of mathematical 
models, and which take advantage of techniques developed separately in different sub-domains. 


TOPICS:

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * Hybrid models of metabolic, signaling, and genetic regulatory networks in living cells

  * Hybrid models of tissues, organs and physiological models

  * Biological applications of analysis techniques from hybrid systems theory 
    (reachability computation, model checking, abstract   interpretation, bifurcation theory, 
    stability and sensitivity analysis)

  * Parametric and non-parametric system identification techniques (learning models 
    from experimental data)

  * Efficient techniques for combined (stochastic/deterministic, spatial/non-spatial) 
    simulations for biological models


  * Hybrid modeling languages for biological systems, analysis and simulation tools

  * Models coping with incomplete and uncertain information, stochastic hybrid systems

  * Hierarchical hybrid systems for multi scale analysis

  * Abstraction, approximation and model-reduction techniques

  * Hybrid systems modeling for synthetic biology and control of biological systems

We solicit the submission of unpublished results that address both theoretical and applied aspects 
of hybrid modeling techniques in systems biology. Submissions accepted as full papers will be 
published by Springer in the LNCS/LNBI series.

                             TAPAS 2014

      Workshop on Tools for Automatic Program Analysis 2014

                     http://cs.au.dk/tapas2014/

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Objective
---------

In the last ten years, a wide range of static analysis tools have 
emerged, some of which are currently in industrial use or are well 
beyond the advanced prototype level. Many impressive practical 
results have been obtained, which allow complex properties to be 
proven or checked in a fully or semi-automatic way, even in the 
context of complex software developments. In parallel, the techniques 
to design and implement static analysis tools have improved 
significantly, and much effort is being put into engineering the 
tools. This workshop is intended to promote discussions and exchange 
experience between specialists in all areas of program analysis 
design and implementation and static analysis tool users.

Previous workshops have been held in Perpignan, France (2010), 
Venice, Italy (2011), Deauville, France (2012), and 
Seattle, WA, USA (2013).

TAPAS 2014 will be co-located with SAS 2014, in Munich, Germany, 
September 10, 2014.


Scope
-----

The technical program of TAPAS 2014 will consist of invited lectures 
together with presentations based on submitted abstracts.

Submitted presentation abstracts can cover any aspect of program 
analysis tools including, but not limited to the following:

 * design and implementation of static analysis tools (including 
   practical techniques used for obtaining precision and performance)
 * components of static analysis tools (front-ends, abstract 
   domains, etc.)
 * integration of static analyzers (in proof assistants, test 
   generation tools, IDEs, etc.)
 * reusable software infrastructure (analysis algorithms and 
   frameworks)
 * experience reports on the use of static analyzers (both research 
   prototypes and industrial tools)
   
 
Submission of Presentation Abstracts
------------------------------------

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee.

Submitted abstracts should be 1-2 pages, and use the ACM 
proceedings format.

===========================================================================

                             CALL FOR PAPERS

                                HLPP 2014

                     7th International Symposium on
             High-level Parallel Programming and Applications

                         Amsterdam, Netherlands
                             July 3-4, 2014

https://sites.google.com/site/hlpp2014amsterdam/

===========================================================================

Aims and scope:

As processor and system manufacturers increase the amount of both inter-
and intra-chip parallelism it becomes crucial to provide the software
industry with high-level, clean and efficient tools for parallel 
programming.
Parallel and distributed programming methodologies are currently dominated
by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or 
equivalently
unstructured shared memory mechanisms. Higher-level, structured approaches
offer many possible advantages and have a key role to play in the scalable
exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism.

Since 2001 the HLPP series of workshops/symposia has been a forum for
researchers developing state-of-the-art concepts, tools and applications
for high-level parallel programming. The general emphasis is on software
quality, programming productivity and high-level performance models. The
7th Symposium on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications will be
held July 3-4 in the historic center of Amsterdam.

===========================================================================

Proceedings:

Accepted papers will be distributed as informal draft proceedings during 
the
symposium. All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a special
issue of the International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP).

===========================================================================

Important dates:

Submission deadline:     April 4 (anywhere on earth)
Author notification:     May 1
Camera-ready paper due:  June 16

===========================================================================
