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)

 High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications
Message-ID: <53287093.60701@uva.nl>

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

                             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

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

Topics:

HLPP 2014 invites papers on all topics in high-level parallel programming,
its tools and applications including, but not limited to, the following
aspects:

  + High-level programming and performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, 
etc.)
    and their tools
  + Declarative parallel programming methodologies
  + Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods
  + Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries:
    semantics and implementation
  + Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs
  + Software synthesis, automatic code generation for parallel programming
  + Model-driven software engineering with parallel programs
  + High-level programming models for heterogeneous/hierarchical platforms
  + High-level parallel methods for large datasets
  + Applications of parallel systems using high-level languages and tools
  + Teaching experience with high-level tools and methods

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Multiple Postdoc Positions
Message-ID: <53287216.8000206@irisa.fr>

Inria Rennes offers the three following postdoc positions. Inria is
Public science and technology institution established in 1967, Inria
is the only public research body fully dedicated to computational
sciences. Combining computer sciences with mathematics, Inria's 3,400
researchers strive to invent the digital technologies of the future.

The postdoc will work in the ESTASYS team located at Inria
Rennes. ESTASYS is a newly established Inria team concerned with the
rigorous design of systems of systems (e.g. cloud computing, cyber
physical systems, smart buildings, ...). To this purpose, the team
conducts research in component-based design, modelisation of
dynamicity, formal verification and simulation, quantitative systems,
and testing.  The team members are particularly focused on lifting
their technology to industry (collaborators: Thal?s, IBM, EADS,
...). The latter is done via the Plasma toolset (see
https://project.inria.fr/plasma-lab/). Plasma implements several
statistical model checking algorithms (procedures that monitor many
executions of a system and then use statistical techniques to obtain a
global confidence) as well as (experimental) compilers from high level
languages (C, UML) to formal models (hence lifting verification
techniques to the real world).

Contact: Axel Legay (axel.legay at inria.fr)

POSITION 1: Statistical Model Checking for Energy Centric Systems
******************************************************************

The objective of this postdoc is to initiate the development of an
exciting new generation of statistical model checking techniques to
reason on systems whose behaviors rely on energy constraints. The long
term objective being to help engineers to develop systems that respect
human and social constraints (security, efficiency, privacy,
reliability, ...) and are also respectful of the environment. For
doing so, the postdoc will propose new Statistical Model Checking
(SMC) algorithms to solve energy problems. This includes reliability
and safety questions ("does my system achieves this objectives with
this amount of energy"), quantitative questions ("what is the minimal
amount of energy to achieve this objective?"), and optimization
questions ("how to optimize cost-production ?"). This work requires
(1) to exploit new statistical algorithms (Anova, CUSUM, ...), and (2)
to develop new monitoring techniques to cope efficiently with aspects
of dynamicity. The work willl be implemented in the Plasma toolset (in
collaboration with engineers from the team) and applied to case
studies coming from the cloud computing and cyber physical systems
area (each of them being furnished by our industry
collaborators). This is a collaborative work with one PhD student and
one engineer within the EU project SENSATION
(http://www.sensation-project.eu/).

Duration: One year. Can be renewed once.

Criteria: PhD in Computer Science or Mathematics. Background in model
checking and basic knwoledge of mathematics and C/Java languages.

Scientific advisors: Axel Legay (CR1 Inria):
http://people.irisa.fr/Axel.Legay/ (list of publications related to
the project) and Sean Sedwards (Expert Engineer Inria):
http://people.irisa.fr/Sean.Sedwards/


POSITION 2: WCET/WCRT analysis using Statistical/Symbolic Model Checking
*************************************************************************

Inria Rennes (France) will open a new postdoc position on
investiguating the use of Statistical Model Checking and Symbolic
Model Checking for WCET/WCRT analysis of mixed critical systems. This
work is part of the EMC2 project funded by the ARTEMIS Scheme.

Location: Inria Rennes, ESTASYS team.

Duration: This is a one year position, which can be renewed once.

Start date: First of July 2014

Profil: Good knowledge of model checking and of C/Java language.

Contact: Axel Legay <axel.legay at inria.fr>

POSITION 3: New formal models for Systems of Systems
*****************************************************

The objective of this postdoc is to participate to the development of
an exciting new generation of formal models and model checking
techniques to reason on Systems of Systems (SoS) whose behaviors rely
on energy constraints. The long term objective being to help engineers
to develop systems that respect human and social constraints
(security, efficiency, privacy, reliability, ...) and are also
respectful of the environment.

In line with this objective, the postdoc will first challenge the
difficult task of finding relevant formal models for SoS and SoS
components. For doing so the postdoc will extends the automata-based
interface models (used to represent component's behaviors) proposed by
the ESTASYS team with dynamicity aspects and energy costs. This new
model will allow to represent the visible behaviors of complex
components of an SoS as well as their interactions.  Aside from
dealing with costs, two difficulties here will be to characterize the
dynamic interactions (composition) between potentially unknown
components, and to capture the hierarchy between them. One suggestion
will be to work with constraints and context free information on the
transitions in a CSP like fashion.

One of the major difficulties with SoS is that the behavior of some of
the components and the environment behavior can only be characterized
at runtime. However, having as much as possible information on those
entities when performing verification is crucial to help the engineer
to predict changes in system's evolution. To obtain this information,
the postdoc will explore the application/extension of automata-based
learning techniques that will be used to incrementally obtain partial
information on the unknown entities, and represent this information
with the interface model defined above.

In a last step, in collaboration with another postdoc from ESTASYS,
the postdoc will propose simulation and monitoring techniques for the
new model, hence making statistical model checking available as a
verification technique for this framework. Here the main challenge
shall be to avoid the overheads that appears at runtime when
monitoring several components (each of them requiring )

The work will be implemented in the Plasma toolset (in collaboration
with engineers from the team) and applied to case studies coming from
the cloud computing and cyber physical systems area (each of them
being furnished by our industry collaborators). This is a
collaborative work with one PhD student and one engineer.

Duration: This is a one year position, which can be renewed once.

Start date: immediatly

Profil: Good knowledge of model checking and of C/Java language.

Message-ID: <20140319125246.26CCAE9C@nittedal.ifi.uio.no>

==========================================================
       University of Oslo, Department of Informatics

          PhD Research Fellowships in the Initiative

     Concurrent Security and Robustness for Networked Systems (ConSeRNS)

      Deadline for application: 20. April 2014

==========================================================
 
The fellowships are for a period of up-to 4 years, with 25 % compulsory
work (such as teaching assistance).

Starting date: no later than 01.10.2014.

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


o Job/ project description:

   The Department of Computer Science offers 3 PhD positions in the general
   area of formal methods and their application to the security and
   robustness for concurrent and distributed systems. 

   The open topics are more specifically:


   - Design and Formal Analysis of User Authentication Systems:

       This Ph.D. research project focuses on designing, formalizing, and
       formally verifying seamless and continuous user authentication
       architectures.  A holistic approach to security design is desirable,
       meaning that contextual elements can be considered part of the
       security protocol which then becomes a security ceremony. A key part
       of the project is therefore the development of formal analysis
       methods for security ceremonies.

   -  Secure and Robust Network-based Systems (1)

         The goal is to investigate the trade-off between QoS (Quality of
         Service) on one hand, and security and robustness on the other,
         when designing and configuring IT systems. Self-protection is part
         of the design approach, whereby a countermeasure is automatically
         identified and applied when an attack or threat is discovered. The
         challenge is to make optimal decisions with regard to balancing
         the need to offer services of high quality (e.g. performance) and
         the need to protect against attacks.

   -  Secure and Robust Network-based Systems (2)


       The goal is to address the problem of how IT systems during runtime
       can assess, detect, react and adapt to current security threats,
       vulnerabilities and attacks in order to achieve a certain level of
       security threat immunity. Elements to be considered as part of this
       PhD project is the development of models for dynamic risk, the
       design of redundant security architectures, and the application of
       formal methods for security design verification.



   Applicants must hold a Master's degree or equivalent in the area of
   computer science with an emphasis on formal methods, theoretical
   computer science, networks and distributed systems, and/or information
   security.

      focus on formal methods)

o Institutional framework

  The positions are part of the ConSeRNS initiative (Concurrent Security
  and Robustness for Networked Systems) at the University of Oslo. The

Message-ID: <6281b175b11b488fb4bbebe67a63a81a@DB4PR02MB096.eurprd02.prod.outlook.com>

Dear colleagues,
The Computational Artifacts (COMPART) project seeks an excellent PhD student with a background in theoretical computer science, to research in foundational formal models for interactive and adaptive concurrent processes with applications to coordination of human interaction.
In more detail, the aim of the PhD project is to develop formal process languages able to express artefacts used in the coordination of human interaction as studied in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and found in workflow and adaptive case management systems, project management, e-Health and e-Government systems. In particular, it is expected that the models should support (run-time) adaptation, description of goals and regulations (policies and laws), (physical & virtual) context and resources.
The ideal candidate has experience in one or more of the following areas: 1) true concurrency models (e.g. Petri Net, event structures, DCR Graphs), 2) formal models for flexible and adaptive processes, 3) types, logics and categorical models for concurrent processes and their interaction.
The COMPART project is an inter-disciplinary partnership between University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen Business School and IT University of Copenhagen (ITU), supported by the Velux foundation. The project involves senior researchers, post docs and PhD students in theoretical computer science, human-computer interaction, CSCW, sociology of organisation, communication theory and linguistics. The project is anchored in the Center for Communication and Computing (CCC) at the University of Copenhagen (http://ccc.ku.dk) - next door to ITU. The candidate will be located at ITU as member of the Theoretical Computer Science section and affiliated to two vibrant research groups for Process and System Models (www.itu.dk/research/models), and Programming, Logic and Semantics (www.itu.dk/research/pls).
Contact: Associate professor, Thomas Hildebrandt. (hilde at itu.dk, www.itu.dk/people/hilde).<http://www.itu.dk/people/hilde).> Supervisor of the PhD project and Head of the Process and System Models Group?
The deadline is April 23 and starting date is in fall 2014 (August/September). Successful applicants will be employed and enrolled at the ITU University for a period of 3 or 4 years depending on the university degree level of the applicant.

The scholarship includes full time salary and funding for travels etc.

              Tobias Nipkow & Gerwin Klein

      http://www.in.tum.de/~nipkow/Concrete-Semantics/

We are pleased to announce the freely available electronic version
of this upcoming book. Concrete Semantics introduces semantics of
programming languages through the medium of a proof assistant.
It consists of two parts:

- Part I is a self-contained introduction to the proof assistant Isabelle.

- Part II is an introduction to semantics and its applications and
  is based on a simple imperative programming language. It covers
  the following topics: operational semantics, compiler correctness,
  (security) type systems, program analyses, denotational semantics,
  Hoare logic and abstract interpretation.

All of the material in Part II is formalized in Isabelle,
yet most of it can also be read independently of Part I.

The book has been classroom-tested extensively and contains
115 exercises that provide hands-on experience with Isabelle.
Slides and exercise templates are available online.

Enjoy!
Tobias & Gerwin

__________________________________________________________________

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 ***

        - Marco Pettini, Universit? de la Mediterran?e
        - Vincent, Danos, The University of Edimburgh

*** 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

About the workshop
---------------
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. A desirable outcome of the workshop is to 
identify key areas where AI can help with such issues as well as 
discussions about how it can be utilised.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] PERTEA'14: Call for Paper
Message-ID: <CAMg6K-hEaRac5rqRmR+Janauc8i6-JbHsUDC12PLwkqY-da0_A@mail.gmail.com>

2014 International Workshop on Software and System Performance Testing,
Debugging, and Analytics (PERTEA '14)
co-located with ISSTA 2014
Bay Area, CA, USA
July 21, 2014

Performance is one of the key properties of software and systems. For
example, responsiveness, throughput, and resource utilization are the three
key aspects of software and system performance. Modern software systems are
increasingly complex, being implemented upon layers of complicated
frameworks or technologies often with insufficient documentation, and being
distributed over wide-range regions, on heterogeneous platforms, and within
different administrative domains, posing challenges for offering
satisfactory performance.

This workshop is a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in
the intersection of compilers, programming languages, architecture,
software engineering, systems, high-performance computing, performance
engineering, machine learning, and data mining for addressing software and
system performance. The workshop focuses on developing and studying
analytic technologies (e.g., program analysis, statistical analysis,
machine learning, data mining, visualization) applied on various software
or system artifacts (e.g., requirements, designs, implementations, tests,
program traces, system logs) to address issues in software and system
performance (e.g., responsiveness, throughput, and resource utilization).
Call for Short Papers

We plan to accommodate presentations of two kinds: (1) invited
presentations from world leaders in the area of performance analysis and
(2) presentations of papers that have been submitted to the workshop and
selected by the program committee. We will invite submissions of informal
short papers with page limit of 4 pages. Authors of the short papers will
have the option of publishing their papers in the ACM Digital Library. If
authors choose otherwise, the presentations of their papers are not
precluded for future publication at other conference venues or journals.
Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: April 10, 2014

Notification of acceptance:  May 10, 2014

Camera-ready deadline:  TBD

Workshop:    July 21, 2014

Note: All submission deadlines are 11:59 PM (Pago Pago, American Samoa) on
the dates indicated.
Submission Instructions

Submissions must be in ACM proceedings format, 9-point type, and may not
exceed 4 pages. Word and LaTeX templates for this format are available
here. Submissions must be in PDF, printable on US Letter.

Submissions should be made via the workshop EasyChair submission site.

Each informal short paper submission is evaluated based on relevance and
interest to the workshop audience along with significance and clarity.

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

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

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nsv2014

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

*** Funding available for European students and early-career researchers

*** Application deadline: 4th April


----------------------------------------------------------------------
         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.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] PhD and PostDoc positions available in LIX &
	INRIA-Saclay
Message-ID: <CAGbLtfhafFZLWwWcBRsBnfVy6qLMF1RXqWnfD9EK7VHpRjDuFA@mail.gmail.com>

Two postdoctoral positions and two PhD student positions are available
within the LIX laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique.  These positions,
which are supported by the ERC Advanced Grant ProofCert, are offered
by the Parsifal research team at INRIA-Saclay.

The scientific goal of ProofCert is to design a framework for proof
certificates that can capture the proof evidence within all major
theorem provers while also being checkable by a simple, declarative
proof checker.  We are looking for people with a range of interests
and expertise, ranging from proof theory, linear logic, and the
lambda-calculus to automated deduction and logic and functional
programming.

If you are interested in a PhD position, submit a
  - cover letter with your CV,
  - pdf files (or links) to material you have written, and
  - names of 2-3 people willing to write a recommendation letter for you.

If you are interested in a postdoctoral position, submit a
  - cover letter with (links to) your CV and publication list.
    Additional material, such as letters of recommendation, will be
    requested as necessary.
  - Candidates who do not have a PhD at the time of their application
    should provide their planned defense date and the composition of
    the thesis committee.

All inquiries and application material should be sent to Dale Miller
(dale.miller at inria.fr).  We hope to have positions start in October
2014 but there is some flexibility with the exact start dates.

We plan to make decisions on these position as early as April 21, 2014
and will continue until the positions are filled.

		  Third International Workshop on Linearity

		         http://vsl2014.at/linearity/

				July 13, 2014
			       Vienna, Austria

Submission deadline: April 13, 2014

An associated event of  the Joint meeting of  the 23rd EACSL Annual Conference
on Computer Science Logic (CSL)  and the 29th ACM/IEEE  Symposium on Logic  in
Computer  Science  (LICS),  as   part   of  the   Vienna   Summer   of  Logic.
==============================================================================
Aim and Scope
-------------

Ever since  the birth of  Girard's linear logic,   there has been a  stream of
research where linearity is a key issue,  covering both theoretical topics and
applications to several  areas  of Computer Science,  such  as  work on  proof
technology, complexity classes  and more recently quantum computation, program
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
--------------------------
Authors are  invited to submit an  extended abstract (8  pages max) describing
original ideas and recent results not published nor  submitted elsewhere, or a
5-page  abstract presenting relevant work that  has been  or will be published
elsewhere, or work in progress.  Preliminary  proceedings will be available at
the  workshop.   Papers should   be written  in  English,  and   submitted  in

After the   workshop, authors of  the extended  abstracts  will be  invited to
submit a  longe   version of  their  work (typically   a  15-pages paper)  for
publication in  EPTCS.  These  submission will undergo a second round of 
referring. Furthermore, we envision publication of a special issue of a journal 
after the event.

From: rvconference at gmail.com (Runtime Verification)
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 10:29:40 +0200
Subject: [TYPES/announce] RV 2014: LAST Call for Papers, Deadline in 1 week
Message-ID: <CAKgbZpxR9s41Ku8suEQ3wCXEwwYOY+=jaVRKjHF88VwPtVtpfw@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 the
EasyChair<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

     THIRD AND LAST 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.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Possible postdoc opening, MINES ParisTech
Message-ID: <EBD456EF-DD8F-4D5B-9844-976BDB73ACD9@mines-paristech.fr>

1. Synopsis:
Research work on the theory, specification, implementation and/or validation of a multi-rate compiler for digital audio processing. 

2. Project:
Imagine a world in which an audio engineer would design a new reverberation algorithm and post its implementation somehow on the Internet. A listener, looking for a richer online audio experience,  could use it by browsing the corresponding site, which would automatically lead to the download and activation of the corresponding sound processing snippet in her browser or even reroute her audio stream to the remote reverb site for processing. Equipping the reverb site with remote management capabilities paves the way to even richer sound installations in which multiple processing platforms would collaborate to provide to the user a dedicated listening environment; a couple of touches on her tablet, and audio parameters could be tuned to suit a changing situation, for instance when moving from the comfort of her home to the noisier environment of her car.

The ANR project FEEVER, which involves MINES ParisTech, GRAME, IRISA and Universit? Saint-Etienne, intends to make such a vision a reality. Yet, scientific and technical challenges abound: the technological solutions need to be (1) portable, to allow program-once, deploy-everywhere economic advantages, (2) easily programmable, to narrow the gap between specifications and implementation, (3) able to deal with multiple platforms, for seamless integration within the users listening environments, (4) efficient both in terms of computing time, since audio processing is a highly compute-intensive activity, and energy, if only to permit mobile applications, and (5) secure, since audio processing activity performed on the client side must not jeopardize the user system.

The Faust audio programming Domain-Specific Language and ecosystem (faust.grame.fr) is the proper starting point towards the global solution the audio world is waiting for. Faust, built upon the functional and synchronous programming paradigms, is currently a mono-rate-only specification paradigm, which makes frame-based processing algorithms such as FFT cumbersome. FEEVER intends to offer a multi-rate solution, a key design that will also help when dealing with user interactions, which occur at rates different from audio. This vision will be embedded within an industrial-strength, efficient, multi-rate, multi-platform, portable, easily-integrable Faust compiler; looking at validation issues here is key in order to ensure that the provided solution is secure.

3. Job Description:
A post-doc, on a six-month contract, with possible extension, is sought to work on theoretical and practical issues related to the FEEVER project. Possible lines of work include:
1.	performing a theoretical survey of synchronous and time-based semantics, with a particular emphasis on sampled languages such as Faust; 
2.	designing an operational semantic specification of the multi-rate Faust extension; 
3.	designing and implementing Faust-specific time-based (synchronous) compilation techniques; 
4.	formally validating, e.g., via proof assistants such as Coq, some key analysis and compilation steps from the multi-rate Faust compiler.

Addressing other research issues, when compatible with the FEEVER agenda (see www.feever.fr), could be envisioned.

4. Requirements:
A good knowledge of the theory and practice of functional language design and implementation is required; familiarity with proof assistants such as Coq would be a significant advantage. Appetence for audio signal processing and/or computer music would be a plus.

5. Financial conditions:
Salary may slightly vary according to the candidate's background and experience, but should be around 2,200 euros net.

6. Location:
Centre de recherche en informatique - CRI
MINES ParisTech
35 rue Saint-Honor?

2nd International Summer School on Cyber-Physical Systems
July 7-10, 2014 Grenoble, France
https://persyval-lab.org/summer-school/cps14

Universit? Joseph Fourier, 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 four 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 modelling.
Monitoring.
Learning.
Medical devices.
Sensor networks.

INTRODUCTION

CL&C'14 is the fifth of a conference series on Classical Logic and
Computation. It intends to cover all work aiming to explore
computational aspects of classical logic and classical proofs in
mathematics.

This year CL&C will be held as satellite workshop of the joint
meeting of CSL and LICS at the

           Vienna Summer of Logic (http://www.vsl2014.at)

CL&C is focused on the interplay between, on one side, the
exploration of the computational content of classical mathematical
proofs, and on the other side, the languages and the semantical
models proposed in computer science for this task: continuations,
game models, denotational models, learning models and so forth.
The scientific aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers
from both proof theory and computer science and to exchange ideas.

SCOPE OF CL&C

This workshop aims to support a fruitful exchange of ideas between
the various lines of research on Classical Logic and Computation.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- versions of lambda calculi adapted to represent classical logic;
- design of programming languages inspired by classical logic;
- cut-elimination for classical systems;
- proof representation for classical logic;
- translations of classical to intuitionistic proofs;
- constructive interpretation of non-constructive principles;
- witness extraction from classical proofs;
- constructive semantics for classical logic (e.g. game semantics);
- case studies (for any of the previous points).

INVITED SPEAKER

 * Alexandre Miquel (Paris 7 University / Universidad de la Republica Uruguay)

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

We have room for informal talks, too. Therefore participants are
encouraged to present both: work in progress, overviews of more
extensive work, and programmatic / position papers, and completed
projects.

All submitted papers will be reviewed to normal standards. The PC
recognises two kinds of papers: it will distinguish between accepted
(full) papers that contain unpublished results not submitted
elsewhere, to be published on EPTCS, and presentations of (short)

                                CALL FOR PAPERS

                       First International Workshop on

    Rewriting Techniques for Program Transformations and Evaluation 
(WPTE'14)

                         affiliated with RTA/TLCA 2014
       (a FLoC 2014 workshop, FLoC is part of the Vienna Summer of Logic 
2014)
                        13th July 2014, Vienna, Austria

               http://www.ki.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/WPTE14



Aims and Scope
==============
The aim of WPTE is to bring together the researchers working on
program transformations, evaluation, and operationally based programming
language semantics, using rewriting methods, in order to share the
techniques and recent developments and to exchange ideas to encourage
further activation of research in this area.

Topics 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.

Paper Submissions and Proceedings
=================================
WPTE accepts two different kinds of contributions:

* Full-papers:
   ------------
    Full-papers must represent original work and should be submitted 
using the
    EasyChair interface.  We plan to publish full-papers as formal 
proceedings
    in the 'OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs)' of
    'Schloss Dagstuhl Leibniz-Zentrum fuer Informatik'.
    Full-papers should not exceed   12 pages   using the OASIcs 
LaTeX-templates.

* Work in progress:
   -----------------
    There will also be a slot for presenting work in progress.
    An extended abstract of at most   4 pages   is required to be 
submitted using
    the EasyChair interface.  These contributions will not be included 
in the
    OASIcs proceedings but they will be distributed to the workshop 
partipicants.

One author of each accepted paper or abstract is expected to present
it at the workshop.

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.

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.

                http://www.nue.riec.tohoku.ac.jp/iwc2014/
=====================================================================

Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and has been conceived
as one of the central properties of rewriting. Confluence relates to many
topics of rewriting (completion, modularity, termination, commutation, etc.)
and had been investigated in many formalisms of rewriting such as
first-order rewriting, lambda-calculi, higher-order rewriting, constrained
rewriting, conditional rewriting, etc. Recently there is a renewed interest
in confluence research, resulting in new techniques, tool supports,
certification as well as new applications.  The workshop aims at promoting
further research in confluence and related properties. The workshop is a
FLoC workshop affiliated with RTA-TLCA (FLoC 2014 is collocated with Vienna
Summer of Logic 2014). Previous editions of the workshop were held in Nagoya
(2012) and Eindhoven (2013).  During the workshop the 3rd Confluence
Competition (CoCo 2014) takes place.

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

Recently, several new implementations of confluence tools are reported 
and interest for proving/disproving confluence "automatically" has been
grown. The confluence competition aims to foster the development of 
techniques for proving/disproving confluence automatically by a dedicated
competition among such tools.

The 3rd Confluence Competition (CoCo 2014) will run ***live*** during the
3rd International Workshop on Confluence (IWC 2014), as part of the 
FLoC 2014 Olympic Games (FLoC 2014 is collocated with Vienna Summer of 
Logic 2014). The following categories will be run:
 * confluence of first-order term rewrite systems
 * confluence of conditional term rewrite systems

Education (TFPIE 2014)
May 25, 2014
Utrecht University
Soesterberg, The Netherlands
(http://www.cs.uwyo.edu/~jlc/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) at Soesterberg, at the ?Kontakt der 
Kontinenten? 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, 
presenters will be invited to submit (a revised version of) their 
article for review. The PC will select the best articles for publication 
in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science 
(EPTCS). Articles not selected for presentation and extended abstracts 
will not be formally reviewed by the PC.

TFPIE workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012) 
and in Provo Utah, USA (2013).


** Invited Speaker **
TFPIE is pleased to announce that professor Johan Jeuring of Utrecht 
University and Open University, both in The Netherlands is giving an 
invited talk entitled: "Automatic tutoring and assessing functional 
programs".

presentations. What?s your best lecture topic in an FP related course? 
Do you have a fun way to present FP concepts to novices or perhaps an 
especially interesting presentation of a difficult topic? In either 
case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture topics will be selected 
for presentation based on a short abstract describing the lecture and 
its interest to TFPIE attendees.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
ISR 2014
7th International School on Rewriting

http://isr2014.inf.utfsm.cl

August 25-29, 2014
Universidad T?cnica Feder?co Santa Mar?a
Valpara?so, Chile

Co-located with the 21st Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation (WoLLIC 2014)
http://web.ing.puc.cl/~wollic

Rewriting is a branch of computer science whose origins go back
to the origins of computer science itself (with Thue, Church,
Post, and many other prominent researchers). It has strong links
with mathematics, algebra, and logic, and it is the basis of
well-known programming paradigms like functional and equational
programming, which are taught at the universitary level in many
countries. In these programming paradigms and corresponding
languages, the notions of reduction, pattern matching,
confluence, termination, strategy, etc., are essential.
Rewriting provides a solid framework for understanding, using,
and teaching all these notions. Rewriting techniques are also
used in many other areas of software engineering (scripting,
prototyping, automated transformation of legacy systems,
refactoring, web services, etc.) and are implemented in popular
systems like Mathematica, Autocad, and others. Rewriting
techniques play a relevant role in computing research,
education, and industry.

The International School on Rewriting is promoted by the IFIP
Working Group 1.6 Term Rewriting. The school is aimed at master
and PhD students, researchers, and practitioners interested in
the study of rewriting concepts and their applications.

Two tracks are offered, including the lectures and the courses:

- Track A: for newcomers in the field, or just for people
who want to obtain a new, updated exposure.

- Track B: for those who want to get deeper in the most
recent developments and applications of rewriting.

                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                               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.

Workshop:                       Sunday     2014-08-31

Submitted papers should fall into one of two categories:

 * Regular research papers (12 pages)
 * Short papers: case studies, tool demos, generic pearls (6 pages)

Regular research papers are expected to present novel and interesting
research results. Short papers need not present novel or fully polished
results. Good candidates for short papers are those that report on
interesting case studies of generic programming in open source or
industry, present demos of generic programming tools or libraries,
or discuss elegant and illustrative uses of generic programming ('pearls').

All submissions should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted
using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (two-column, 9pt). Regular
research papers must not exceed 12 pages. Short papers must not exceed
6 pages. If applicable, papers should be marked with one of the labels
'case study, 'tool demo' or 'generic pearl' in the title at the time
of submission.

Papers should be submitted via EasyChair at

  https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wgp2014


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

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

                             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/

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

New extended deadline: April 14  (anywhere on earth)

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

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 (now extended to April 14)
Author notification:     May 1   (or slightly thereafter)
Camera-ready paper due:  June 16

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

Topics:

HLPP 2014 invites papers on all topics in high-level parallel programming,
its tools and applications including, but not limited to, the following
aspects:

  + High-level programming and performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, 
etc.)
    and their tools
  + Declarative parallel programming methodologies
  + Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods
  + Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries:
    semantics and implementation
  + Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs
  + Software synthesis, automatic code generation for parallel programming
  + Model-driven software engineering with parallel programs
  + High-level programming models for heterogeneous/hierarchical platforms
  + High-level parallel methods for large datasets
  + Applications of parallel systems using high-level languages and tools
  + Teaching experience with high-level tools and methods

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

Paper preparation and submission:

Papers submitted to HLPP2014 must describe original research results and
must not have been published or simultaneously submitted anywhere else.
Manuscripts must be prepared with the Springer IJSS latex macro package
and submitted via the EasyChair Conference Management System. The strict
page limit for initial submission and camera-ready version is 20 pages in
the aforementioned format.

Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews by members of the
international technical programme committee (see below). Papers will be
selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity and
quality of presentation. At least one author of each accepted paper must
register for the HLPP 2014 symposium and present the paper.

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

Ref: 008418

Salary: Grade 6 / 7 ?26,527 ? ?29,837 / ?32,590 - ?36,661 per annum

We have a position for a research assistant / associate in the theory, 
design and implementation of programming languages. This position is 
associated with the project ?From Data Types to Session Types: a Basis 
for Concurrency and Distribution?, which is a Programme Grant funded by 
EPSRC for 5 years from 20th May 2013. Just as data types describe the 
structure of data, session types describe the structure of communication 
in concurrent and distributed systems. Our project has particular 
emphasis on putting theory into practice, by embedding session types in 
a range of programming languages and applying them to realistic case 
studies. The project is joint between the University of Glasgow (Dr 
Simon Gay), the University of Edinburgh (Professor Philip Wadler), and 
Imperial College London (Professor Nobuko Yoshida), and includes 
collaboration with Amazon, Cognizant, Red Hat, VMware, and the Ocean 
Observatories Initiative.

The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting research on 
the theory of session types, for designing programming languages 
incorporating session types in order to support concurrent and 
distributed programming, and for evaluating programming language designs 
and implementations in relation to practical case studies provided by 
the industrial collaborators.

You should have, or be close to completion of, a PhD in a relevant area, 
or have comparable experience; an awarded PhD or equivalent experience 
is necessary for appointment at Grade 7. You should have a track record 
of publication and communication of research results, a strong 
background in programming languages, including semantics, type systems 
and implementation, and strong programming and software engineering 
skills. It is desirable also to have one or more of the following: a 
combination of theoretical and practical skills; knowledge of the theory 
or practice of concurrent and distributed systems; knowledge of the 
theory of session types and linear logic.

We seek applicants at an international level of excellence. The School 
of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow has an international 
research reputation, and Glasgow, Scotland?s largest city, offers an 
outstanding range of cultural resources and a high quality of life.

Informal enquiries may be made to Dr Simon Gay (Simon.Gay at glasgow.ac.uk).

This position is available from 1st May 2014 or as soon as possible 
thereafter, and has funding until 31 October 2015.

Apply online at: http://bit.ly/1s2K8L6

Closing date: 30 April 2014

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

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

Message-ID: <20140404074726.GA4546@chilon.net>



MICROSOFT PHD SCHOLARSHIP IN THE VERIFICATION OF CONCURRENT HIGHER-ORDER PROGRAMS

We are offering a PhD position fully funded for 3 years which aims to develop
the theoretical underpinnings and successful practical applications of
higher-order verification to concurrent systems, resulting in new program models
and tools applicable to real-world code.

The position is due to commence in October 2014 and will be held in the
Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway, University of London,
supervised by Dr. Matthew Hague (http://www.cs.rhul.ac.uk/home/hague/).  The
position may also include an internship at a Microsoft research laboratory.

Higher-order programming features are increasingly supported by modern
languages, such as F Sharp, Python, Scala, Haskell, OCaml and C++.  Thus, this
forms an increasingly essential topic for verification for which there have been
several important recent advances.  Furthermore, it is clear that concurrency
will become the dominant programming paradigm, due to both the ubiquity of
multi- and many-core machines and the increasingly distributed nature of
computation.



THE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, ROYAL HOLLOWAY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

The Department offers a very vibrant research culture. In the last research
assessment (RAE 2008), we ranked 11th in the UK for the quality of our research
output. Our research is strongly supported by external funding from various
sources, including companies. The University itself was ranked 102nd in the

INTRODUCTION

CL&C'14 is the fifth of a conference series on Classical Logic and
Computation. It intends to cover all work aiming to explore
computational aspects of classical logic and classical proofs in
mathematics.

This year CL&C will be held as satellite workshop of the joint
meeting of CSL and LICS at the

           Vienna Summer of Logic (http://www.vsl2014.at)

CL&C is focused on the interplay between, on one side, the
exploration of the computational content of classical mathematical
proofs, and on the other side, the languages and the semantical
models proposed in computer science for this task: continuations,
game models, denotational models, learning models and so forth.
The scientific aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers
from both proof theory and computer science and to exchange ideas.

SCOPE OF CL&C

This workshop aims to support a fruitful exchange of ideas between
the various lines of research on Classical Logic and Computation.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- versions of lambda calculi adapted to represent classical logic;
- design of programming languages inspired by classical logic;
- cut-elimination for classical systems;
- proof representation for classical logic;
- translations of classical to intuitionistic proofs;
- constructive interpretation of non-constructive principles;
- witness extraction from classical proofs;
- constructive semantics for classical logic (e.g. game semantics);
- case studies (for any of the previous points).

INVITED SPEAKER

 * Alexandre Miquel (Paris 7 University / Universidad de la Republica Uruguay)

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

We have room for informal talks, too. Therefore participants are
encouraged to present both: work in progress, overviews of more
extensive work, and programmatic / position papers, and completed
projects.

All submitted papers will be reviewed to normal standards. The PC
recognises two kinds of papers: it will distinguish between accepted
(full) papers that contain unpublished results not submitted
elsewhere, to be published on EPTCS, and presentations of (short)
papers about work in progress.

The accepted papers will be published in the open access electronic
journal EPTCS.

In order to make a submission:
- Format your file using the EPTCS (http://style.eptcs.org/)

                    The 2nd ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on
                 Functional High-Performance Computing

                          Gothenburg, Sweden
                           September 4, 2014

            https://sites.google.com/site/fhpcworkshops/

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

Submission Deadline: Thursday, 15 May, 2014 (anywhere on earth)
=====================================================================

The FHPC workshop aims at bringing together researchers exploring uses
of functional (or more generally, declarative or high-level)
programming technology in application domains where high performance
is essential.  The aim of the meeting is to enable sharing of results,
experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative
specifications of computationally challenging problems can serve as
maintainable and portable code that approaches (or even exceeds) the
performance of machine-oriented imperative implementations.

All aspects of performance critical programming and parallel
programming are in-scope for the workshop, irrespective of hardware
target.  This includes both traditional large-scale scientific
computing (HPC), as well as work targeting single node systems with
SMPs, GPUs, FPGAs, or embedded processors.  It is becoming apparent
that radically new and well founded methodologies for programming such
systems are required to address their inherent complexity and to
reconcile execution performance with programming productivity.

Every year, the FHPC workshop has an application area as a theme.
Papers touching on this topic are especially encouraged, though all
in-scope papers are welcomed.  For FHPC 2014, the theme is
"Heterogeneous computing".  In the systems and parallelism
communities, there has been a lot of work on programming systems with
CPUs and GPUs (or other mixed parallel architectures), but in the
programming languages community this idea has not received as much
attention.  At their best, high-level languages can have the degrees
of flexibility necessary to abstract over platform differences.

Proofs and algorithms are everyday objects in our discipline, but they are still very mysterious. Suffice to say that we are currently unable to decide whether two given proofs or two given algorithms are the same; this is an old problem that dates back to Hilbert. Also, proofs and algorithms are intimately connected in the most famous open problem in mathematics: P vs NP.

We make progress by trying to unveil the fundamental structure behind proofs and algorithms, what we call their semantics. In other words, we are interested in the following questions:

    What is a proof?
    What is an algorithm?
    How can we define them so that they have efficient and natural semantics?

The questions above are interesting in their own right, but we note that answering them will enable technological advances of great impact on the society and the economy. For example, it will be possible to build a worldwide, universal tool for developing, validating, communicating and teaching mathematics. Also, quickly producing provably bug-free and secure software will become possible, so solving one of the most complex and important open engineering problems.

In order to understand proofs and algorithms we create new mathematics starting from proof theory and semantics and utilising, among other tools, category theory and algebraic geometry. These theories are closely related, they benefit from mutual interaction and they are well represented in our team. The methods we use are mostly discrete, algebraic and combinatorial, but there is a growing geometrical component. The recent advances which our methods are mostly based on are linear logic, game semantics and deep inference on the logic side, and regular chains, cylindrical algebraic decomposition and monotone sets on the algebra/geometry side.

Last year three new PhD students joined us, each fully covered by a scholarship, from the University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich and Universit? Paris VII. Our group is very well financed via several grants. Thanks to our international relations, working with us means having a truly multicultural experience together with all the researchers at the forefront of this worldwide research effort. As a result, all our graduates work and publish at the highest level. The facilities at the University of Bath are outstanding and the city is so beautiful that UNESCO recognises it as a World Heritage Site.

   TERMGRAPH 2014: SECOND 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/

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

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 ***

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.





KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

                    CALL FOR PAPERS

                                BEAT 2014

           Third International Workshop on Behavioural Types
                    1 September 2014, Rome, Italy
 http://beat2014.behavioural-types.eu

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

Affiliated to CONCUR 2014: 25th International Conference on
Concurrency Theory.


** Highlights **

- Deadline: 15th June 2014.
- BEAT 2014 welcomes submissions of full papers and brief
   announcements of already published papers.
- EPTCS proceedings.
- Special issue on Formal Aspects of Computing
  (http://link.springer.com/journal/165).


** Scope **

Behavioural type systems go beyond data type systems in order to
specify, characterise, and reason about dynamic aspects of program
execution. Behavioural types can form a basis for both static analysis
and dynamic monitoring. Recent years have seen a rapid increase in
research on behavioural types, driven partly by the need to formalize
and codify communication structures as computing moves from the
data-processing era to the communication era, and partly by the
realisation that type-theoretic techniques can provide insight into
the fine structure of computation.  Behavioural types encompass:
session types; contracts (for example in service-oriented systems);
typestate; types for analysis of termination, deadlock-freedom,
liveness, race-freedom, and related properties; intersection types
applied to behavioural properties; and other topics.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in all
aspects of behavioural type theory and its applications, in order to
share results, consolidate the community, and discover opportunities
for new collaborations and future directions.


** Topics of Interest **

All aspects of behavioural types, including, but not limited to:

- theoretical foundations of behavioural types
- behavioural types in practical programming languages
- software development and analysis tools for behavioural types
- case studies and software engineering applications of behavioural types
- relationships between different forms of behavioural types
- behavioural types in concurrent and distributed systems
- behavioural types in many-core systems
- behavioural types in service-oriented computing
- behavioural types in cloud computing
- security in behavioural type systems
- new directions for behavioural types


** Submission URL **

 https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=beat2014


** Submission Instructions **

We invite submissions in two categories.

1. Original research papers of up to 8 pages in length, in PDF format,
written in English, using the EasyChair proceedings template available
at http://www.easychair.org/easychair.zip. Simultaneous submission to
other venues is not allowed.

2. Proposals for short presentations of research that has already been

                        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.

Schedule
========

Abstract Submission Deadline: Monday, May 19, 2014
Notification to Speakers: Monday, June 30, 2014
Workshop: Friday, September 5, 2014

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, combined post-proceedings of selected
papers from the two workshops will be published in the Electronic
Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science series. 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.

Software Engineering.

ProofInUse originates from the sharing of resources and knowledge
between the Toccata research team, specializing in techniques for
deductive program verification and the SME AdaCore, a software
publisher, specializing in providing software development tools for
critical systems.

The recruited engineer will work in close collaboration with the
ProofInUse Research and Development team, to address both its
scientific and its technological challenges. It is expected that the
engineer contributes both to advancing the academic knowledge in
ProofInUse context (and thus to the production of scientific
pulbications) and to the transfer of this knowledge into the software
products distributed by AdaCore.

We expect from the candidate some experience with Formal Methods for
Software Engineering (PhD thesis or equivalent), a fair experience in
software development, a plus would be the knowledge of functional
programming, and the knowledge of the programming languages OCaml and
Ada.

                        SECOND 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

Subject: [TYPES/announce] PhD opening in "Proof-Theory for Multiparty
 Round-Trip Global Programming" at IT University of Copenhagen (Deadline
 April 23rd)
Message-ID: <CAGTL3npMgZADAK0+-sUFNa+HW3WCB_aG6NYg5MO57SY22F3TNg@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All,

the PLUTO (Proof-Theory for Multiparty Round-Trip Global Programming)
project is looking for excellent candidates for a 3/4-year PhD scholarship.

Successful applicants have a background in theoretical computer science,
with particular focus on concurrency theory, type theory, logic and proof
assistants.



*Highlights:*

*- Application deadline: **23th April 2014, at 23:59 CET.*

*- Application link: *
https://delta.hr-manager.net/ApplicationInit.aspx?cid=119&ProjectId=168671&departmentId=3439&uiculture=en&MediaId=1282

- *Contact*: Marco Carbone (carbonem at itu.dk), IT University of Copenhagen

- *Scholarship*: full scholarship, including full time salary and funding
for travels.

- *Research Environment: *Programming, Logic and Semantics (
www.itu.dk/research/pls) research group @IT University of Copenhagen,
Denmark


*Project Description: *Computing systems consist of several, distributed
entities that communicate by message exchange. The increasing complexity of
such systems poses a challenge on how to program them correctly. Recent
research proposed global programming, a new paradigm for preventing typical
distributed software errors, where systems are programmed with global
descriptions of how messages are exchanged, rather than giving the local
behaviour of each of their endpoints. Unfortunately, global programming
does not yet support modular development and integration with existing
legacy software. The objective of this project is to address these issues
by developing the foundations for modular round-trip engineering of global
programs, called round-trip global programming: global programs are mapped
to endpoint code, composed with existing, legacy software, and the
resulting composition can be translated back to a new overall global
program.

**The available positions also depend on pending funding from The Danish
Council for Independent Research**

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Second call for papers: APAL special issue on
	games for logic and programming languages
Message-ID: <21BE81B1-3FC7-4CD2-BE43-A41C0E435416@bath.ac.uk>


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 (seehttp://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.

Please submit submissions following APAL's style
(http://authors.elsevier.com/JournalDetail.html?PubID=505603)
on the following easychair link:  https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apalgalop2013

Subject: [TYPES/announce] PhD studentship in data-centric programming at
	LFCS, University of Edinburgh
Message-ID: <CAAdciC3eUiAsPU5bAWWZNCmA8xg8V6M41mKDYFS714X9ims6sw@mail.gmail.com>

A fully-funded 3-year PhD studentship has become available in LFCS in data-
centric programming.  Applications and expressions of interest are welcome
now, with a closing date of April 28, 2014.

This studentship is partly funded by a EU FP7 project (DIACHRON) and partly
by a Google Research Award.  The funding includes UK/EU tuition and fees,
and a non-taxable stipend of approximately ?13,800 per year for 3 years; a
small amount of additional funding is available that may be used flexibly
for equipment, travel or additional stipend support.

The topic of the studentship is flexible within the general area of
data-centric programming languages; possible topics include:

* Types and language design for integrating multiple data-centric
programming models (e.g. language-integrated database query, GPU, or
MapReduce programming)
* Extending bidirectional programming for synchronizing data across datamodels
* Language-based techniques for data curation and preservation, provenance
tracking, or archiving
* Query and update techniques for longitudinal or provenance-aware queries.
 (http://wcms.inf.ed.ac.uk/lfcs/graduate%20study/data-centric-programming
-and-provenance)

A strong candidate for this studentship will have, or expect to receive, a
first-class undergraduate degree or a strong performance in a master's
degree. She or he should also be familiar with foundations of programming
languages and databases, expert in at least one of these areas, and excited
about research in this fast-moving area.

The student will benefit from LFCS's strong research groups in both
Programming Languages and Databases, from Scotland's active programming
languages research community, and from proximity to Edinburgh's Centres for
Doctoral Training on Pervasive Parallelism or Data Science, which offer
4-year combined Master's + PhD programs and have strong links to industry
forming the basis for internships. It may be possible for us to offer the
successful applicant an additional year of funded study through one of
these programs.


== Application instructions ==

The application deadline is April 28, 2014.  Applications will be reviewed
on a rolling basis as they are received and an offer will be made to the
strongest candidate as soon as possible after the closing date.  Due to
restrictions on the funding, applicants with UK/EU citizenship or residence
will be prioritized.  Please get in touch early in case of questions about
the application process, project ideas or study in the UK or Edinburgh.

Current applicants to other Edinburgh PhD programs can be considered for
this funding.  If you are interested in this project and your application
to another Edinburgh PhD program is currently under review, please contact

 Proof, Structure, and Computation 2014

CSL-LICS Workshop

July 17-18, 2014, Vienna, Austria

 http://vsl2014.at/psc/




=== Highlights ===


- PSC welcomes submissions of short abstracts: 1-2 pages in LNCS format

- Invited speakers: Ulrich Berger and  Martin Escardo

- Post-proceedings are planned for a journal special issue


=== Important Dates ===


1 May 2014...................... Abstract submission

16  May 2014................... Notification to authors

16  June 2014.................. Camera-ready abstracts for electronic
proceedings

17-18  July 2014............. PSC in Vienna


=== Scope ===


The extraction of computational content from proofs has a long tradition in
logic, but usually depends on a concrete encoding that allows us to turn
proofs into algorithms. A recent trend in this field is the departure from
such encoding which not only makes it simpler to represent the mathematical
content, but also makes the extracted computational content encoding
independent. This shift in focus allows us to focus on what is relevant:
the computational aspects of proofs and the specification (not
representation) of the structures involved. We now have growing evidence
that this move from representations (e.g. the signed digit representation
of the reals) to axioms (e.g. of the real numbers) is possible. This
development largely parallels the step from assembler to high level
languages in programming.


As a by-product this move has already opened up the possibility to gain
computational information from axiomatic proofs in more abstract and
genuinely structural areas of mathematics such as algebra and topology.

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,

A PhD position is   available in the "Verification" team in LIAFA, Paris.


*Subject: 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.





*How to apply:**
**==========*
The position is  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

Dear Colleagues,


The University of Leicester is advertising a Lectureship in Computer Science which is a /teaching dominant/ position. The details are here:

 http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/personnel/job-vacancies/?newms=jj&id=85771&newlang=1

Such a position might be compared to that of a Teaching Fellow, but with higher expectations in terms of contribution, and the potential for promotion.  

While I appreciate that many readers of this list who are seeking full time jobs will regard research as a high (indeed top) priority, 
I think there are likely to be readers who are interested or can usefully pass this information on. 

Please note that the application deadline is 16th April; I apologise for the late notice. 


Kind Regards,

Roy Crole.

   Gopalan Nadathur (University of Minnesota)

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.).

Fourth Summer School on Formal Techniques
May 19 - May 23, 2014
Menlo College, Atherton, CA
http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT14

Techniques based on formal logic, such as model checking,
satisfiability, static analysis, and automated theorem proving, are
finding a broad range of applications in modeling, analysis,
verification, and synthesis.  This school, the fourth in the series,
will focus on the principles and practice of formal techniques, with a
strong emphasis on the hands-on use and development of this
technology.  It primarily targets graduate students and young
researchers who are interested in developing and using formal
techniques in their research.  Participants at the school will have a
seriously fun time experimenting with the tools and techniques
presented in the lectures during laboratory sessions.

The lecturers at the school include:
* Nikolaj Bjorner (MSR Redmond): Software verification with SMT.
* Veronique Cortier (LORIA, France): Formal analysis of security protocols:
                                         Models, Techniques, and Tools
* Gerard Holzmann (JPL/Caltech): Verifying Safety Critical Code
* Gerwin Klein (NICTA Australia): Programming language semantics in Isabelle
* Marta Kwiatkowska (University of Oxford): Probabilistic model checking 
with PRISM
* Natarajan Shankar (SRI CSL): Speaking Logic

We have NSF funding to support travel and accommodation for students
from US universities, but welcome applications from non-US students as
well.  Non-US students will be charged around $500 for meals and
lodging.  Applications should be submitted at
http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT14

Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications before April
30, 2014, since there are only a limited number of spaces available.

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

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 the
EasyChair<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

Subject: [TYPES/announce] 5th Scala Workshop (Scala 2014): Call for
	Papers/Talks
Message-ID: <CAByeO8WP9esbeQYG-n5vtH4sEJVXBX3_WLyq+_PLpS2zmXUKwg@mail.gmail.com>

========================================================================
                             "Scala 2014"

                   the Fifth Annual Scala Workshop
                      co-located with ECOOP 2014
                           Uppsala, Sweden
                           July 28-29, 2014

                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                 http://lamp.epfl.ch/~hmiller/scala2014
========================================================================

Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common
programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly
integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages.

This workshop is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share new ideas
and results of interest to the Scala community.

We seek papers on topics related to Scala, including (but not limited to):

- Language design and implementation - language extensions, optimization, and
  performance evaluation.
- Library design and implementation patterns for extending Scala - embedded
  domain-specific languages, combining language features, generic and
meta-programming.
- Formal techniques for Scala-like programs - formalizations of the language,
  type system, and semantics, formalizing proposed language extensions and
  variants, dependent object types, type and effect systems.
- Concurrent and distributed programming - libraries, frameworks, language
  extensions, programming paradigms: (Actors, STM, ...), performance
  evaluation, experimental results.
- Safety and reliability - pluggable type systems, contracts, static analysis
  and verification, runtime monitoring.
- Tools - development environments, debuggers, refactoring tools, testing
  frameworks.
- Case studies, experience reports, and pearls.

Submitted papers should describe new ideas, experimental results, or projects
related to Scala. In order to encourage lively discussion, submitted papers
may describe work in progress. All papers will be judged on a combination of
correctness, significance, novelty, clarity, and interest to the community.

In general, papers should explain their original contributions,
identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and relating it to previous work (also for other
languages where appropriate). Papers in the last category of the list
above need not necessarily report original research results; they may
instead, for example, report practical experience that will be useful
to others, new Scala idioms, or programming pearls. In all cases, such
a paper must make a contribution which is of interest to the Scala
community, or from which other members of the Scala community can
benefit.

Publications at the Scala Workshop represent works-in-progress and are
not intended to preclude later publication at any of the main
conferences. Though, follow-up submissions do need to conform to the
publication policies of the targeted conference, which typically
equates to significant extension or refinement of the workshop
publication.

KEYWORDS: Library Design and Implementation, Language Design and
Implementation, Applications, Formal Techniques, Parallelism and
Concurrency, Distributed Programming, Tools, Experience Reports,
Empirical Studies


Academic Student Talks
======================

In addition to regular papers and tool demos, we also solicit short student
talks by bachelor/master/PhD students. A student talk is not accompanied by a
paper (it is sufficient to submit a short abstract of the talk in plain text).
Student talks are about 5-10 minutes long, presenting ongoing or completed
research related to Scala.


Open Source Talks
=================

We will also accept a limited number of short talks about open-source projects
using Scala presented by contributors. An open-source talk is not accompanied
by a paper (it is sufficient to submit a short abstract of the talk in plain
text). Open-source talks are about ~10 minutes long, presenting or announcing
an open-source project that would be of interest to the Scala community.


Proceedings
===========

It is planned to publish accepted papers in the ACM Digital Library, unless
the authors choose not to. In case of publication in the ACM Digital Library,
authors must transfer copyright to ACM upon acceptance (for government work,
to the extent transferable), but retain various rights (see ACM Copyright
Policy. Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their paper
(source code, test data, etc.); they retain copyright of auxiliary material.


Submission Details
==================

* Abstract Submission: April 30, 2014
* Paper Submission   : May 7, 2014
* Author Notification: June 9, 2014
* Final Papers Due   : June 23, 2014

All deadlines are at 23:59 American Samoa time (UTC-11).

Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using
the standard ACM SIGPLAN two-column conference style (10pt format). Regular
research papers must not exceed 10 pages, tool demonstration papers and short
papers must not exceed 4 pages. "Tool Demos" and "Short Papers" should be
marked as such with those words in the title at time of submission.

Note: "Short Papers" differ from "Tool Demos" in that "Short Papers" are
approached as short research papers. "Short Papers" are expected to carry some
new insights or contribution, and to compare with related work, as with any
normal research paper. They're simply shorter versions of full research
papers. "Tool Demos" on the other hand are about showcasing a well-developed,
well-documented tool, live, before the workshop. "Tool Demo"s' corresponding
papers are meant to contain an overview of the tool and methodology for the
tool's use. Tool demo papers are less concerned about proving new research
insights, or thoroughly comparing with related work. The Scala Workshop PC
will approach Tool Demos in the same way as the PEPM Workshop PC, detailed in
PEPM's Tool Paper Evaluation Criteria
(see http://www.program-transformation.org/PEPM14/ToolPaperAdvice).

Student talks and open-source talks are not accompanied by papers. Therefore,
it is sufficient to only submit a plain-text abstract. Both "Student Talks"
and "Open Source Talks" should be marked as such with those words in the title
at time of submission.

Submission is via EasyChair:

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

           SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15 MAY, 2014

PPDP 2014 is a forum that brings together researchers from the
declaratrive programming communities, including those working in the
logic, constraint and functional programming paradigms, but also
embracing languages, database languages, and knowledge representation
languages. The goal is to stimulate research in the use of logical
formalisms and methods for specifying, performing, and analyzing
computations, including mechanisms for mobility, modularity,
concurrency, object-orientation, security, verification and static
analysis. Papers related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools
in industry and education are especially solicited. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to

* Functional programming
* Logic programming
* Answer-set programming
* Functional-logic programming
* Declarative visual languages
* Constraint Handling Rules
* Parallel implementation and concurrency
* Monads, type classes and dependent type systems
* Declarative domain-specific languages
* Termination, resource analysis and the verification of declarative 
programs
* Transformation and partial evaluation of declarative languages
* Language extensions for security and tabulation
* Probabilistic modeling in a declarative language and modeling reactivity
* Memory management and the implementation of declarative systems
* Practical experiences and industrial application

This year the conference will be co-located with the 24th
International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2014).

The conference will be held in Canterbury, UK. Previous symposia were
held at Madrid (Spain), Leuven (Belgium), Odense (Denmark), Hagenberg
(Austria), Coimbra (Portugal), Valencia (Spain), Wroclaw (Poland),
Venice (Italy), Lisboa (Portugal), Verona (Italy), Uppsala (Sweden),
Pittsburgh (USA), Florence (Italy), Montreal (Canada), and Paris
(France). You might have a look at the contents of past PPDP symposia.

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 chair in case of
questions).

After the symposium, a selection of the best papers will be invited to
extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the
symposium. The papers are expected to include at least 30% extra
material over and above the PPDP version. Then, after another round of
reviewing, these revised papers will be published in a journal.

=========================
Extended Abstract Submission deadline: 25 April 2014
Extended Full Paper Submission deadline: 2 May 2014
=========================

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.


KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
----------------------------------------
+ Nikolaj Bjorner, Microsoft Research
+ Vincent Danos, University of Edinburgh


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
conference. The proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.

Papers should be written in English and not exceed 16 pages in LNCS
format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for
details). Submission should be made through the ICFEM 2014 submission
page (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfem2014), handled
by the EasyChair conference management system.

The authors of a selected subset of accepted papers will be invited to
submit extended versions of their papers to appear in a
special issue of the Formal Aspect Computing journal.


WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL
----------------------------------------
The last two days of the conference (6th and 7th November 2014) will
be dedicated to workshops, tutorials and other satellite events. The
organising committee of ICFEM 2014 therefore cordially invites
proposals for one-day workshops and one-day or half-day tutorials in
any area related to formal methods or software engineering, but
particularly in new or emerging fields of application of formal
methods.

Proposals for workshops/tutorial should contain:

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.

Workshop on 
NATURAL LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER SCIENCE  (NLCS '14)
17-18 July, 2014 Vienna, Austria
http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html



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

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

================
INVITED SPEAKERS
================

Zhenjiang Hu	 (NII, Japan)
Dexter Kozen	 (Cornell University, USA)
Julien Verlaguet (Facebook, USA)

==========
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.

       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
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.

               3rd International Workshop on Confluence

                    13 July 2014, Vienna, Austria,
               a FLoC workshop affiliated with RTA-TLCA

                http://www.nue.riec.tohoku.ac.jp/iwc2014/
=====================================================================

Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and has been conceived
as one of the central properties of rewriting. Confluence relates to many
topics of rewriting (completion, modularity, termination, commutation, etc.)
and had been investigated in many formalisms of rewriting such as
first-order rewriting, lambda-calculi, higher-order rewriting, constrained
rewriting, conditional rewriting, etc. Recently there is a renewed interest
in confluence research, resulting in new techniques, tool supports,
certification as well as new applications.  The workshop aims at promoting
further research in confluence and related properties. The workshop is a
FLoC workshop affiliated with RTA-TLCA (FLoC 2014 is collocated with Vienna
Summer of Logic 2014). Previous editions of the workshop were held in Nagoya
(2012) and Eindhoven (2013).  During the workshop the 3rd Confluence
Competition (CoCo 2014) takes place.

+++ Scope +++
Variability management is a major challenge in the development,
maintenance, and evolution of software-intensive systems. Variability
modeling is a facet of system modeling, which is a very actual topic in
the industry.  Many modeling tool users ask for variability support.
Several tool vendors have already extended their modeling tools, or are
developing suitable variability extensions for their tools (Vector,
Atego, IBM, Mathworks).  Several industrial standards are considering
extensions for variability (including AUTOSAR and SysML). The theme
focuses broadly on innovative work in the area of variability modeling
and management. We particularly invite contributions with a strong
variability modeling aspect, but also addressing the wider area of
variability management, e.g., requirements, architecture, analysis,
implementation, evolution and teaching of variability modeling.  The
purpose is to present new results for mastering variability throughout
the whole lifecycle of systems, system families, and product lines.

The Journal of Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM) invites original,
high-quality submissions for its theme issue on "Variability Modeling of
Software Intensive Systems" focusing on modeling related issues. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Variability across the software life cycle
* Separation of concerns and modularity
* Variability evolution
* Variability mining and reverse-engineering
* Feature, aspect, and service orientation
* Software configuration management and version control
* Architecture and design approaches for variability
* Software economic aspects of variability

2nd International Summer School on Cyber-Physical Systems
July 7-10, 2014 Grenoble, France
https://persyval-lab.org/summer-school/cps14

Universit? Joseph Fourier, 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 four 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 modelling.
Monitoring.
Learning.
Medical devices.
Sensor networks.

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

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:

- functional calculi: lambda-calculus, rho-calculus, term and graph 
rewriting;

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Workshop Fibrations in Computing 2014 (Fibs'14)
Message-ID: <534C3C1A.5070406@basold.eu>

We would like to announce the following workshop:
   Fibrations in Computing 2014 (Fibs'14)

   * 23 - 24 June 2014, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow
   * http://www.msp.cis.strath.ac.uk/fibs-2014/

Originally invented in topology, fibrations have evolved into a powerful
categorical tool to describe fibres of indexed objects and reindexing 
between
them. In Computer Science, fibrations are used to describe variable 
binding in
Lambda Calculus, quantifiers in logics, dependent types in Type Theory, 
or even
dynamics of transition systems. The goal of this workshop is to catch up 
with
what each of us is doing, to learn from each others techniques and, most 
importantly,
to chart ideas for future development and interaction.

The workshop will take place in the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow
on the 23. and 24. June 2014. If there is an interest in attending our
small workshop, please let us know at one of the email addresses below, 
indicating
if you would like to give a talk. We are always happy to find more souls 
sharing our
enthusiasm for fibrations.

More information can be found on the associated web page

   http://www.msp.cis.strath.ac.uk/fibs-2014/.

If you know people interested in this workshop, please forward this
announcement to them.

Hope to see you in Glasgow and best wishes,

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Haskell Symposium: Second call for papers
Message-ID: <CAD65j9kBiLHn3P6ot3rXS-x4_VKARHwbJ+jsgHNkVONZOPygHw@mail.gmail.com>

===================================================================
                ACM SIGPLAN
                HASKELL SYMPOSIUM 2014
                SECOND 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.

Submission is via EasyChair:

   TERMGRAPH 2014: THIRD 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:      EXTENDED till April 30, 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
           14th International Workshop on Termination (WST)

         Affiliated with CAV, IJCAR and RTA-TLCA at FLoC 2014
                  17 - 18 July 2014, Vienna, Austria

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

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, logic,
and concurrent 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

AIMS:

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying
excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are
currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at
attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large,
well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these
areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and
people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2014, significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular
focus will be put on methodology.

VENUE:

SLSP 2014 will take place in Grenoble, at the foot of the French Alps.

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

                24th International Symposium on
       Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation
                         LOPSTR 2014

           http://www.iasi.cnr.it/events/lopstr14/
  University of Kent, Canterbury, UK, September 10-11, 2014


DEADLINES
Abstract submission:                     May 30, 2014
Paper/Extended abstract submission:      June 6, 2014

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


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).


Important Dates

 Abstract submission:                            May 30, 2014
 Paper/Extended abstract submission:             June 6, 2014

Submission Guidelines

Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in English)
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
for publication in the formal proceedings, or accepted only for 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.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission:                     April 25, 2014 (EXTENDED)
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

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 1st Workshop on Logics and MODel-checking for self-* systems (MOD*)

http://modstar.cs.unibo.it/

September 12, 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.

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,

Fourth Summer School on Formal Techniques
May 19 - May 23, 2014
Menlo College, Atherton, CA
http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT14

Techniques based on formal logic, such as model checking,
satisfiability, static analysis, and automated theorem proving, are
finding a broad range of applications in modeling, analysis,
verification, and synthesis.  This school, the fourth in the series,
will focus on the principles and practice of formal techniques, with a
strong emphasis on the hands-on use and development of this
technology.  It primarily targets graduate students and young
researchers who are interested in developing and using formal
techniques in their research.  A prior background in formal methods
is helpful but not required.   Participants at the school will have a
seriously fun time experimenting with the tools and techniques
presented in the lectures during laboratory sessions.

The lecturers at the school include:
* Nikolaj Bjorner (MSR Redmond): Software verification with SMT.
* Veronique Cortier (LORIA, France): Formal analysis of security protocols:
                                         Models, Techniques, and Tools
* Gerard Holzmann (JPL/Caltech): Verifying Safety Critical Code
* Gerwin Klein (NICTA Australia): Programming language semantics in 
Isabelle
* Marta Kwiatkowska (University of Oxford): Probabilistic model checking 
with PRISM
* Natarajan Shankar (SRI CSL): Speaking Logic

We have NSF funding to support travel and accommodation for students
from US universities, but welcome applications from non-US students as
well.  Non-US students will be charged around $500 for meals and lodging.
Women and under-represented minorities are specially encouraged to
apply.  Applications should be submitted at

         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).

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

Workshop Overview
-----------------

Dependently typed programming is here today: where will it go tomorrow? On the
one hand, dependent type theories have grown programming languages; on the
other hand, the type systems of programming languages like Haskell and Scala
are incorporating some kinds of type-level data.

The purpose of this workshop is to discuss experiences with dependent types in
programming and future developments for dependently-typed languages.  Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

* Language Design, both in the context of possible extensions and 
 modifications of existing languages and the development of new languages with
 dependent types;

* Theory, such as formal treatments of semantics and type systems;

* Compilation, including implementations and optimization of 
 dependently-typed languages;

* Tools, in the form of IDEs, profilers, tracers, debuggers, 
 and testing tools;

* Functional Pearls, being elegant, instructive examples of using
 dependent types;

* Experience Reports, general practice and experience with
 dependently-typed languages, e.g., in an education or industry context.

Workshop Format
---------------

The workshop will consist of invited speakers (details TBA) and contributed
talks. Talks will be selected according to relevance to the workshop, based
on submission of an extended abstract.

Submission Details
------------------

* Abstract Submission : Friday, 2nd May 2014 
* Author Notification : Friday, 9th May 2014

                         HCVS 2014
      Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis
            affiliated with CAV and ICLP at FLoC 2014

               July 17, 2014 ? Vienna, Austria

                    http://vsl2014.at/hcvs

            *Extended Submission Deadline: May 9, 2014*

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

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

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoc position on Reversible computing
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1404232341060.20787@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

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, logic,
and concurrent 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
      * SAT and SMT solving for (non-)termination analysis
      * 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

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoctoral position in probabilistic programming
	languages
Message-ID: <20140426190405.1C70D785CEB@labrador.cs.tufts.edu>

Postdoctoral position in probabilistic programming languages
============================================================

There is a postdoc open at Tufts University, supported by the project

> Probabilistic Programming for Advanced Machine Learning (PPAML)

The PPAML project will empower practitioners and researchers in
machine learning by creating vastly improved language technology for
probabilistic programming.  This postdoc provides an opportunity to
think deeply about probabilistic modeling and inference and to realize
those thoughts in new language designs and (prototype) implementations.

Our team is focused on these aspects:

  - The design of novel languages, especially intermediate languages,
    for expressing and analyzing probabilistic computations

  - The development of type systems and other program analyses that
    will support *efficient* inference over probabilistic models

  - Languages and language extensions that can formalize and express
    *intensional* properties that may enable a probabilistic
    programming system to affect the performance or accuracy of
    inference and learning

The goal is to develop new designs, type systems, and analyses that
will not only inform and contribute to the team's research software,
but that will of sufficient scope, power, and quality to be
publishable in such venues as POPL, PLDI, OOPSLA, and ICFP.


Who we are
----------
The research will be supervised at Tufts by Professor Norman Ramsey.
The larger team includes senior faculty Mitch Wand and Olin Shivers
from Northeastern University, as well as senior colleagues in both
programming languages and machine learning at nearby BAE Systems in
Burlington.  The research will be carried out on the Tufts campus,
located near Davis Square in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA, a short
distance from Boston.


What we're looking for
----------------------
We're looking for a recent PhD (or someone about to graduate) who is
committed to the idea of programming languages as a way to express
knowledge and solve problems.  In addition,

  - We're looking for someone with a track record of creating
    interesting and effective software.

  - We're looking for someone with strong background in at least *one*
    domain area relating to the project: probability, probabilistic
    programming, language design, language implementation, type
    systems, static analysis, measure theory, domain theory, topology,
    real analysis, or probabilistic inference.

  - We believe that ideas and software are best developed in tandem.
    We're therefore looking for someone who will contribute both to
    the development of the team's software and to the development and
    publication of new ideas.


When and for how long the position can be held
----------------------------------------------
The initial appointment will be for one year, but given mutual
agreement, it is expected to be renewed annually for a total of three
years.  (Support is available through July 2017.)  Other mutually
agreed arrangements are possible.

Salary is competitive.

The starting date is negotiable, but if other things are equal, we may
extend an offer to the candidate who is available sooner rather than later.


What support and benefits are available
---------------------------------------
Tufts University is committed to helping postdoctoral scholars gain
the skills necessary to become independent researchers.  This
commitment includes access to resources for personal and professional
development.  Tufts postdocs are full-time employees of Tufts
University and are eligible for benefits, including health and
retirement benefits.


How and when to apply
---------------------
Interested candidates should apply at

    https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/3983

An application should include

  - A cover letter explaining your interest in the position
  - Your curriculum vitae
  - A paper representative of your published work
  - The names of three people who can, if asked, write letters of reference

There is no deadline for applications; we will look at applications as
soon as they come in, and we will keep looking until we fill the
position. 


Whom to ask questions
---------------------
If you have questions about the project or whether it is a good fit
for your interests, please write to Norman Ramsey <nr at cs.tufts.edu>.

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);
- D) tool papers (6 pages max);
In addition, we solicit submissions to the Doctoral Track of FACS 2014, in
the
form of abstracts (3 pages max) concisely capturing work in progress,
related
topic, context, research questions, envisaged contributions, and partial
results.

All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
concurrently
for publication elsewhere. Papers should be formatted according to the
guidelines for Springer LNCS papers.

All accepted papers will appear in the pre-proceedings of FACS 2014.
Revised
versions of accepted papers in the categories A-D above will appear in the
post-proceedings of the symposium that will be published as a volume in
Springer's LNCS series.

The authors of a selected subset of accepted papers will be invited to
submit
extended versions of their papers to appear in a special issue of
Elsevier's

========================================================================
                             "Scala 2014"

                   the Fifth Annual Scala Workshop
                      co-located with ECOOP 2014
                           Uppsala, Sweden
                           July 28-29, 2014

                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                 http://lamp.epfl.ch/~hmiller/scala2014
========================================================================

Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common
programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly
integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages.

This workshop is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share new ideas
and results of interest to the Scala community.

We seek papers on topics related to Scala, including (but not limited to):

- Language design and implementation ? language extensions, optimization, and
  performance evaluation.
- Library design and implementation patterns for extending Scala ? embedded
  domain-specific languages, combining language features, generic and
meta-programming.
- Formal techniques for Scala-like programs ? formalizations of the language,
  type system, and semantics, formalizing proposed language extensions and
  variants, dependent object types, type and effect systems.
- Concurrent and distributed programming ? libraries, frameworks, language
  extensions, programming paradigms: (Actors, STM, ...), performance
  evaluation, experimental results.
- Safety and reliability ? pluggable type systems, contracts, static analysis
  and verification, runtime monitoring.
- Tools ? development environments, debuggers, refactoring tools, testing
  frameworks.
- Case studies, experience reports, and pearls.

Submitted papers should describe new ideas, experimental results, or projects
related to Scala. In order to encourage lively discussion, submitted papers
may describe work in progress. All papers will be judged on a combination of
correctness, significance, novelty, clarity, and interest to the community.

In general, papers should explain their original contributions,
identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and relating it to previous work (also for other
languages where appropriate). Papers in the last category of the list
above need not necessarily report original research results; they may
instead, for example, report practical experience that will be useful
to others, new Scala idioms, or programming pearls. In all cases, such
a paper must make a contribution which is of interest to the Scala
community, or from which other members of the Scala community can
benefit.

Publications at the Scala Workshop represent works-in-progress and are
not intended to preclude later publication at any of the main
conferences. Though, follow-up submissions do need to conform to the
publication policies of the targeted conference, which typically
equates to significant extension or refinement of the workshop
publication.

KEYWORDS: Library Design and Implementation, Language Design and
Implementation, Applications, Formal Techniques, Parallelism and
Concurrency, Distributed Programming, Tools, Experience Reports,
Empirical Studies


Academic Student Talks
======================

In addition to regular papers and tool demos, we also solicit short student
talks by bachelor/master/PhD students. A student talk is not accompanied by a
paper (it is sufficient to submit a short abstract of the talk in plain text).
Student talks are about 5-10 minutes long, presenting ongoing or completed
research related to Scala.


Open Source Talks
=================

We will also accept a limited number of short talks about open-source projects
using Scala presented by contributors. An open-source talk is not accompanied
by a paper (it is sufficient to submit a short abstract of the talk in plain
text). Open-source talks are about ~10 minutes long, presenting or announcing
an open-source project that would be of interest to the Scala community.


Proceedings
===========

It is planned to publish accepted papers in the ACM Digital Library, unless
the authors choose not to. In case of publication in the ACM Digital Library,
authors must transfer copyright to ACM upon acceptance (for government work,
to the extent transferable), but retain various rights (see ACM Copyright
Policy. Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their paper
(source code, test data, etc.); they retain copyright of auxiliary material.


Submission Details
==================

* Abstract Submission: May 7, 2014
* Paper Submission   : May 14, 2014
* Author Notification: June 16, 2014
* Final Papers Due   : June 23, 2014

All deadlines are at 23:59 American Samoa time (UTC-11).

Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using
the standard ACM SIGPLAN two-column conference style (10pt format). Regular
research papers must not exceed 10 pages, tool demonstration papers and short
papers must not exceed 4 pages. "Tool Demos" and "Short Papers" should be
marked as such with those words in the title at time of submission.

Note: "Short Papers" differ from "Tool Demos" in that "Short Papers" are
approached as short research papers. "Short Papers" are expected to carry some
new insights or contribution, and to compare with related work, as with any
normal research paper. They're simply shorter versions of full research
papers. "Tool Demos" on the other hand are about showcasing a well-developed,
well-documented tool, live, before the workshop. "Tool Demo"s' corresponding
papers are meant to contain an overview of the tool and methodology for the
tool's use. Tool demo papers are less concerned about proving new research
insights, or thoroughly comparing with related work. The Scala Workshop PC
will approach Tool Demos in the same way as the PEPM Workshop PC, detailed in
PEPM's Tool Paper Evaluation Criteria
(see http://www.program-transformation.org/PEPM14/ToolPaperAdvice).

Student talks and open-source talks are not accompanied by papers. Therefore,
it is sufficient to only submit a plain-text abstract. Both "Student Talks"
and "Open Source Talks" should be marked as such with those words in the title
at time of submission.

Submission is via EasyChair:

Workshop on 
NATURAL LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER SCIENCE  (NLCS '14)
17-18 July, 2014 Vienna, Austria
http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html

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

== 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.

                    CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS

                           HOPE 2014

                The 3rd ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on
              Higher-Order Programming with Effects

                        August 31, 2014
                      Gothenburg, Sweden
                   (the day before ICFP 2014)

            https://www.mpi-sws.org/~neelk/hope2014/

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

HOPE 2014 aims at bringing together researchers interested in the design,
semantics, implementation, and verification of higher-order effectful
programs. It will be *informal*, consisting of invited talks, contributed
talks on work in progress, and open-ended discussion sessions.


---------------------
Goals of the Workshop
---------------------

A recurring theme in many papers at ICFP, and in the research of many
ICFP attendees, is the interaction of higher-order programming with
various kinds of effects: storage effects, I/O, control effects,
concurrency, etc. While effects are of critical importance in many
applications, they also make it hard to build, maintain, and reason
about one's code. Higher-order languages (both functional and
object-oriented) provide a variety of abstraction mechanisms to help
"tame" or "encapsulate" effects (e.g. monads, ADTs, ownership types,
typestate, first-class events, transactions, Hoare Type Theory,
session types, substructural and region-based type systems), and a
number of different semantic models and verification technologies have
been developed in order to codify and exploit the benefits of this
encapsulation (e.g. bisimulations, step-indexed Kripke logical
relations, higher-order separation logic, game semantics, various
modal logics). But there remain many open problems, and the field is
highly active.

The goal of the HOPE workshop is to bring researchers from a variety
of different backgrounds and perspectives together to exchange new and
exciting ideas concerning the design, semantics, implementation, and
verification of higher-order effectful programs.

We want HOPE to be as informal and interactive as possible. The
program will thus involve a combination of invited talks, contributed
talks about work in progress, and open-ended discussion
sessions. There will be no published proceedings, but participants
will be invited to submit working documents, talk slides, etc. to be
posted on this website.


-----------------------
Call for Talk Proposals
-----------------------

We solicit proposals for contributed talks. Proposals should be at
most 2 pages, in either plain text or PDF format, and should specify
how long a talk the speaker wishes to give. By default, contributed
talks will be 30 minutes long, but proposals for shorter or longer
talks will also be considered. Speakers may also submit supplementary
material (e.g. a full paper, talk slides) if they desire, which PC
members are free (but not expected) to read.

We are interested in talks on all topics related to the interaction of
higher-order programming and computational effects. Talks about work
in progress are particularly encouraged. If you have any questions
about the relevance of a particular topic, please contact the PC
chairs at the address hope2013 AT mpi-sws.org.

Deadline for talk proposals: June 13, 2014 (Friday)

Notification of acceptance:   July 4, 2014 (Friday)

Workshop:     August 31, 2014 (Sunday)

The submission website is now open:

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

The goal of the doctoral symposium session is to provide PhD students with useful feedback towards 
the successful completion of their dissertation research. Each student is assigned an academic panel, 
based on the specifics of that student's research, and a panel of PhD students who will prepare to 
participate in the discussion of the proposal and the presentation. The Doctoral student will give a 
presentation of 15-20 minutes (exact time will be announced later), followed by 15-20 minutes of 
questions and feedback. The experience is meant to mimic a "mini-" defense interview. Aside from the 
actual feedback, this helps the student gain familiarity with the style and mechanics of such an interview 
(advisors of student presenters will not be allowed to attend their student's presentations).

To participate, the students should be far enough in their research to be able to present:

	? the importance of the problem
	? a clear research proposal
	? some preliminary work/results
	? an evaluation plan

The students should still have at least 12 months before defending their dissertation. We believe that 
students that are defending within a year would not be able to incorporate the feedback they receive.

To participate, please submit:

	? a 3-4 page abstract in the llncs format.
	? a letter from your advisor. This letter should include an assessment of the current status of your 
          dissertation research and an expected date for dissertation submission. The advisor should 
          e-mail this letter to Beatrice ?kerblom (beatrice at dsv.su.se).

Abstracts should be sumbitted to:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecoopds14

The abstract should focus on the following:

	? Problem Description
		? what is the problem?
		? what is the significance of this problem?
		? why the current state of the art can not solve this problem?

	? Goal Statement
		? what is the goal of your research?
		? what artifacts (tools, theories, methods) will be produced, and how do they address the 
                  stated problem? How are the artifacts going to help reach the stated goal?

	? Method
		? what experiments, prototypes, or studies need to be produced/executed?
		? what is the validation strategy? How will it demonstrate that the goal was reached?

Note that this is not a typical technical paper submission, and that the focus is not on technical details, 
but rather on research method.

In addition to the submission, the Doctoral student will be assigned the submissions of two PhD students for 
which written feedback should be submitted no later than July 14th. The Doctoral student will also be expected 
to take active part in all discussions, and especially when discussing the reviewed submissions.

For Junior PhD Students
-----------------------

This session is addressed primarily to PhD students in the early stages of their PhD work. The goal is to allow 
participants to present their research ideas and obtain feedback from the rest of the attendees. Each 
participant will give a 10-15 minute presentation, followed by 10-15 minutes of discussions (exact times will 
be announced later).

To participate, please submit:

	? 6-10 page position paper in the lncs format, presenting your idea or current work;
	? a support letter from your advisor. The advisor should e-mail this letter to Beatrice ?kerblom 
          (beatrice at dsv.su.se).

Position papers should be submitted to:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecoopds14

The position paper should contain (at least):

	? a problem description;
	? a detailed sketch of a proposed approach;
	? related work.

As this is earlier-stage research, it is not necessary to have concrete results from this research presented in the 
paper. Instead, the goal of the paper is to inform the reader of a (well-motivated) problem and to present a high 
level (possible) solution.

In addition to the submission, the PhD student will be assigned the submissions of two Doctoral students for 
which written summaries together with a few questions (2-3) that could be discussed in connection to the 
presentations should be submitted no later than July 14th. The PhD student will also be expected to take active 
part in all discussions, and especially when discussing the submissions for which the summaries have been 
written.

Previous Experiences
--------------------

  The ECOOP Doctoral Symposium is an excellent place to meet many interesting  
  people and discuss new ideas related to your research topic. It has a 
  friendly atmosphere which makes everybody welcomed and relaxed. By attending
  the PhD symposium last year, I had the opportunity to engage in new 
  collaborations with researchers from different institutions. I also received
  feedback from both well-established researchers and fellow PhD students 
  which had a great positive effect on my thesis. I would certainly recommend 
  all PhD students to attend the ECOOP PhD Symposium and Workshop.

  Eduardo Figueiredo, participant DS ECOOP'08
  
  The ECOOP Doctoral Symposium was a remarkable event. It was an honor to get 
  feedback on my personal thesis topic from such well-established researchers 
  in the field. Their comments not only encouraged me to continue with my 
  thesis work but also gave me valuable feedback on how to refine my concrete
  topic and bring the overall topic into shape. In addition, I found the other 
  students' talks to be some of the most interesting ones at ECOOP. Some of 
  them were very inspiring even for my own work. Overall, my participation in 
  the symposium will certainly have a great positive effect on my thesis. 
  Apart from that it was a fun day which made me meet many interesting people.

proceedings
  17-18 July 2014 ........ PSC in Vienna

=== Scope ===

The extraction of computational content from proofs has a long tradition in
logic, but usually depends on a concrete encoding that allows us to turn
proofs
into algorithms. A recent trend in this field is the departure from such
encoding which not only makes it simpler to represent the mathematical
content,
but also makes the extracted computational content encoding independent.
This
shift in focus allows us to focus on what is relevant: the computational
aspects of proofs and the specification (not representation) of the
structures
involved. We now have growing evidence that this move from representations
(e.g. the signed digit representation of the reals) to axioms (e.g. of the
real
numbers) is possible. This development largely parallels the step from
assembler to high level languages in programming. As a by-product this move
has
already opened up the possibility to gain computational information from
axiomatic proofs in more abstract and genuinely structural areas of
mathematics
such as algebra and topology.

            6th International Workshop on Equation-Based 
            Object-Oriented Modeling Languages and Tools

                  in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN

                      Berlin, October 10, 2014
                     http://www.eoolt.org/2014/

              ** SUBMISSION DEADLINE JUNE 22 **


SCOPE

During the past decade, integrated model-based design of complex
cyber-physical systems (which mix physical dynamics with software and
networks) has gained significant attention. Hybrid modeling languages
based on equations, supporting both continuous-time and event- based
aspects (e.g. Modelica, SysML, VHDL-AMS, and Simulink/Simscape) enable
high-level reuse and integrated capabilities of both the physically
surrounding system and the software for embedded systems. The EOOLT
workshop addresses the current state of the art of equation-based
object-oriented (EOO) modeling languages, as well as open issues that
currently still limit their expressiveness, correctness, and
usefulness. Moreover, integration of and comparison with related
approaches and languages, such as actor-oriented, synchronous, and
domain-specific languages, are of particular interest. The workshop is
concerned with, but not limited to, the following EOO related themes

* Acausality and its role in model reusability. 
* Component systems for EOO languages. 
* Discrete-event and hybrid modeling.
* Embedded systems and efficient-code generation. 
* Modeling language constructs in support of simulation, optimization, 
 diagnostics, and system identification. 
* EOO mathematical modeling vs. UML software modeling. 
* Integrated hardware-software modeling of cyber-physical systems.
* Requirements for modeling traceability, translation, and integration.
* Formal semantics of EOO related languages. 
* Multi-resolution / multi-scale modeling using EOO languages. 
* Model-driven development related to EOO languages.
* Numerical coupling of EOO simulators and other simulation tools. 
* Parallel execution of EOO models. 
* Programming / modeling environments. 
* Real-time simulation using EOO languages. 
* Reflection and meta-programming. 
* Verification, type systems, and early static checking. 
* Relation to functional reactive programming (FRP) and synchronous 
 languages.
* Comparison with related causal or hybrid formalisms.
* Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI)



SUBMISSION

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).

             ***** 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),
Salvador (2008), Ouro Preto (2007) and Natal (2006).

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION:
Contributions should be written in English and submitted as full papers
(maximum 16 pages) or short papers (maximum 6 pages). They must be
unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.
The papers should be prepared in Latex using ENTCS style. The
submission should be in the form of a PDF file uploaded to Easychair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lsfa2014
The pre-proceedings, containing the reviewed extended abstracts, will
be handed-out at event registration. After the meeting the authors
will be invited to submit full versions of their works for the
post-proceedings to be published in ENTCS. At least one of the authors
should register for the conference. Presentations are in English.

                               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.

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.

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

           SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15 MAY, 2014

PPDP 2014 is a forum that brings together researchers from the
declaratrive programming communities, including those working in the
logic, constraint and functional programming paradigms, but also
embracing languages, database languages, and knowledge representation
languages. The goal is to stimulate research in the use of logical
formalisms and methods for specifying, performing, and analyzing
computations, including mechanisms for mobility, modularity,
concurrency, object-orientation, security, verification and static
analysis. Papers related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools
in industry and education are especially solicited. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to

* Functional programming
* Logic programming
* Answer-set programming
* Functional-logic programming
* Declarative visual languages
* Constraint Handling Rules
* Parallel implementation and concurrency
* Monads, type classes and dependent type systems
* Declarative domain-specific languages
* Termination, resource analysis and the verification of declarative 
programs
* Transformation and partial evaluation of declarative languages
* Language extensions for security and tabulation
* Probabilistic modeling in a declarative language and modeling reactivity
* Memory management and the implementation of declarative systems
* Practical experiences and industrial application

This year the conference will be co-located with the 24th
International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2014).

The conference will be held in Canterbury, UK. Previous symposia were
held at Madrid (Spain), Leuven (Belgium), Odense (Denmark), Hagenberg
(Austria), Coimbra (Portugal), Valencia (Spain), Wroclaw (Poland),
Venice (Italy), Lisboa (Portugal), Verona (Italy), Uppsala (Sweden),
Pittsburgh (USA), Florence (Italy), Montreal (Canada), and Paris
(France). You might have a look at the contents of past PPDP symposia.

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 chair in case of
questions). The proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital
Library.

After the symposium, a selection of the best papers will be invited to
extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the
symposium. The papers are expected to include at least 30% extra
material over and above the PPDP version. Then, after another round of
reviewing, these revised papers will be published in a journal.

* Aims and Scope

Almost half of a century has passed since Robert W. Floyd published the
first research 

 

that explicitly discussed formally how to assign meaning to programs. But
recently David 

 

L. Parnas have called Really Rethinking "Formal Methods", to question the
assumptions 

 

underlying the well-known current formal software development methods to see
why they 

 

have not been widely adopted and what should be changed. So, things are
right where they 

 

started decades ago? 

 

Not at all, since industrial applications of Formal Methods are not the
unique measure 

 

of success. Another dimension where we can discuss utility of Formal Methods
could be 

 

better education.  A very popular (in Russia) aphorism of Mikhail Lomonosov
(the first  

 

Russian academician) says: "Mathematics should be learned just because it
disciplines 

 

and bring up the mind". We do believe that Formal Methods discipline and
bring up minds 

 

in Computer Science. We would not like to say that educators should not care
about 

 

industrial applications of Formal Methods (quite opposite, we must care!).
At the same 

 

time Formal Methods education helps to bridge a "cultural gap"
(E.W.Dijkstra) between 

 

Mathematics and Computer Science. 

 

The problem is how to overcome a stable allergy to Formal Methods: many
people think 

 

Formal Methods are too pure in theory but too poor in practice. We do
believe that the 

 

basic reason behind this allergy is the absence of primary, elementary
level. It is not 

 

wise to start teaching arithmetic from Peano axiomatic, but it is a common
sense to 

 

start from elementary problems about numbers of apples, pencils, etc.  

 

* The workshop is designed for

- enjoying the art and beauty of Formal Methods, 

- discussing experience how to make Formal Methods easy, 

- presenting application of Formal Methods to puzzles, to games, etc., 

- non-standard problem solving outside programming and Computer Science, 

- everything else about Fun and Joy of Formal Methods.

* Prvious workshop FWFM-2013

One day workshop Fun With Formal Method was held Saturday, July 13, 2013, in

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

                                FHPC 2014

                     The 3rd ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on
                  Functional High-Performance Computing

                           Gothenburg, Sweden
                            September 4, 2014

             https://sites.google.com/site/fhpcworkshops/

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

Submission Deadline: Thursday, 15 May, 2014 (anywhere on earth)
=====================================================================

The FHPC workshop aims at bringing together researchers exploring uses
of functional (or more generally, declarative or high-level)
programming technology in application domains where high performance
is essential.  The aim of the meeting is to enable sharing of results,
experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative
specifications of computationally challenging problems can serve as
maintainable and portable code that approaches (or even exceeds) the
performance of machine-oriented imperative implementations.

All aspects of performance critical programming and parallel
programming are in-scope for the workshop, irrespective of hardware
target.  This includes both traditional large-scale scientific
computing (HPC), as well as work targeting single node systems with
SMPs, GPUs, FPGAs, or embedded processors.  It is becoming apparent
that radically new and well founded methodologies for programming such
systems are required to address their inherent complexity and to
reconcile execution performance with programming productivity.

Every year, the FHPC workshop has an application area as a theme.
Papers touching on this topic are especially encouraged, though all
in-scope papers are welcomed.  For FHPC 2014, the theme is
"Heterogeneous computing".  In the systems and parallelism
communities, there has been a lot of work on programming systems with
CPUs and GPUs (or other mixed parallel architectures), but in the
programming languages community this idea has not received as much
attention.  At their best, high-level languages can have the degrees
of flexibility necessary to abstract over platform differences.


Proceedings:
============

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the
ACM Digital Library.

  * Submissions due: Thursday, 15 May, 2014 (anywhere on earth)

dependable and fault-tolerant computing. PRDC is recognized as the main
event in the Pacific area that covers the many dimensions of dependability
and fault tolerance, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches,
practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. As
applications of computing systems have permeated into all aspects of daily
life, the dependability of computing systems has become increasingly
critical. This symposium provides a forum for countries around the Pacific
Rim and other areas of the world to exchange ideas for improving the
dependability of computing systems.
 Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

   - Software and hardware reliability, testing, verification, and
   validation
   - Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
   - Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
   - Software aging and rejuvenation
   - Safety-critical systems and software
   - Architecture and system design for dependability
   - Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
   - Reliability in cloud computing, Internet, and web systems and
   applications
   - Cloud and Internet Information security
   - Dependability issues in computer networks and communications
   - Dependability issues in distributed and parallel systems
   - Dependability issues in real-time systems, database, and transaction
   processing systems
   - Dependability issues in autonomic computing
   - Dependability issues in aerospace and embedded systems

==========
Calculemus
==========

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.

===
DML
===

Mathematicians dream of a digital archive containing all peer-reviewed
mathematical literature ever published, properly linked, validated 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.

Track objective  is to provide  a forum for development  of math-aware
technologies, standards, algorithms and formats towards fulfillment of
the  dream  of global  digital  mathematical  library (DML).  Computer
scientists  (D)  and librarians  of  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  --
processing of math knowledge expressed in scientific papers in natural
languages, namely:

* 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 standards
* 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 

===
MKM
===

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 conference 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

====================
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.

               http://ocaml.org/meetings/ocaml/2014/
                        Gothenburg, Sweden
                        September 5, 2014

                       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.

Schedule
========

Abstract Submission Deadline: Monday, May 19, 2014
Notification to Speakers: Monday, June 30, 2014
Workshop: Friday, September 5, 2014

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.

==========
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.

===================================================================
16th International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Java-like Programs 
(FTfJP'14)

Co-located with ECOOP 2014
July 29th, 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.

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. In 
addition, depending on the nature of the contributions, we may be 
organizing a special journal issue as a follow-up to the workshop, as 
has been done for some of the previous FTfJP workshops. Contributions 
must be in English, in PDF format, and are limited to 6 pages in ACM 
2-column style. Papers must be submitted electronically via Easy Chair. 
A plain-text ASCII abstract must be submitted one week before the paper 
submission deadline.

Submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ftfjp2014

Any PC member, other than the chair, may be an author or co-author on 
any paper submitted for consideration but will be excluded from any 
evaluation or discussion of the paper.

Dear Types and Types/announce members,

It has been my pleasure to serve as moderator of the Types and
Types/announce lists for 5 years now, but it's time to hand over the
reins to someone else.

Dimitrios Vytiniotis of Microsoft Research Cambridge has kindly agreed
to take over as moderator.  I want to thank him for agreeing to
moderate the list, and I'm sure he'll do a great job!

In fact, he and I have discussed it, and one of the first things he
would like to do as new moderator is to solicit feedback from the
community on whether the Types list is serving its members as well as
it could, and if not, how best to evolve it going forward.  He will be
sending mail about that shortly.

Best regards,
Derek Dreyer

Subject: [TYPES/announce] OCL 2014: First Call for Papers
Message-ID: <20140507203931.GA3486@fujikawa.home.brucker.ch>

(Apologies for duplicates) 

                            CALL FOR PAPERS
        14th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling
                Applications and Case Studies (OCL 2014)

        Co-located with ACM/IEEE 17th International Conference on
       Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2014)
                September 28-30 (tbc), 2014, VALENCIA, SPAIN
                http://www.software.imdea.org/OCL2014/

Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical
notation. Such visual representations enable direct intuitive
capturing of reality, but some of their features are difficult to
formalize and lack the level of precision required to create complete
and unambiguous specifications. Limitations of the graphical notations
encouraged the development of text-based modeling languages that
either integrate with or replace graphical notations for
modeling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF,
Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots in
formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases.

The goal of this workshop is create a forum where researchers and
practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds
of textual languages can directly interact, report advances, share
results, identify tools for language development, and discuss
appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage
discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language
concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable
researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options
for potential cooperation.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
===================================================
- Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms
- Algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations in the context
  of textual modeling languages for
  -- validation, verification, and testing,
  -- model transformation and code generation,
  -- metamodeling and DSLs, and
  -- query and constraint specifications
- Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modeling languages
- Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modeling expressions 
- Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modeling languages
- Complexity results for textual modeling languages
- Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating
  textual modeling tools and algorithms
- Successful applications of textual modeling languages
- Case studies on industrial applications of textual modeling languages
- Experience reports
  -- usage of textual modeling languages and tools in complex domains,
  -- usability of textual modeling languages and  tools for end-users
- Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modeling 
  languages
- Innovative textual modeling tools
- Comparison, evaluation and integration of modeling languages
- Correlation between modeling languages and modeling tasks

This year, we particularly encourage submissions describing
applications and case studies of textual modeling as well as test
suites and benchmark collections for evaluating textual modeling
tools.

Venue
=====
The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS 2014 Conference in
Valencia, Spain. It continues the series of OCL workshops held at
UML/MODELS conferences: York (2000), Toronto (2001), San Francisco
(2003), Lisbon (2004), Montego Bay (2005), Genova (2006), Nashville
(2007), Toulouse (2008), Denver (2009), Oslo (2010), Zurich (2011, at
the TOOLs conference), 2012 in Innsbruck, and 2013 in Miami.  Similar
to its predecessors, the workshop addresses both people from academia
and industry. The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration
of OCL and other textual modeling languages, as well as tools for
textual modeling, and for disseminating good practice and discussing
the new requirements for textual modeling.

Workshop Format
===============
The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel
sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions.

Submissions
===========
Two types of papers will be considered: 
    * short papers (6 pages) and 
    * full papers (10 pages) 
in LNCS format. Submissions should be uploaded to EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl2014).  The program
committee will review the submissions (minimum 2 reviews per paper,
usually 3 reviews) and select papers according to their relevance and
interest for discussions that will take place at the workshop.
Accepted papers will be published online in a pre-conference edition
of CEUR (http://www.ceur-ws.org).

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended
version of their workshop paper to a special issue of the Electronic
Communications of the EASST (http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/eceasst)

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.

[FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION]

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/)


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) at Soesterberg, at the ?Kontakt der 
Kontinenten? 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, 
presenters will be invited to submit (a revised version of) their 
article for review. The PC will select the best articles for publication 
in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science 
(EPTCS). Articles not selected for presentation and extended abstracts 
will not be formally reviewed by the PC.

TFPIE workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012) 
and in Provo Utah, USA (2013).


** Invited Speaker **
TFPIE is pleased to announce that professor Johan Jeuring of Utrecht 
University and Open University, both in The Netherlands is giving an

                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                               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.

Submitted papers should fall into one of two categories:

 * Regular research papers (12 pages)
 * Short papers: case studies, tool demos, generic pearls (6 pages)

Regular research papers are expected to present novel and interesting
research results. Short papers need not present novel or fully polished
results. Good candidates for short papers are those that report on 
interesting case studies of generic programming in open source or 
industry, present demos of generic programming tools or libraries, 
or discuss elegant and illustrative uses of generic programming ('pearls').

All submissions should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted
using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (two-column, 9pt). Regular 
research papers must not exceed 12 pages. Short papers must not exceed 
6 pages. If applicable, papers should be marked with one of the labels
'case study, 'tool demo' or 'generic pearl' in the title at the time 
of submission.

Papers should be submitted via EasyChair at

Carnegie Mellon CyLab has a position for an 18-month Post Doctoral research
in the area of computer security, with possible extensions available. The
position is funded in part by a  Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) project aiming to find possible malice, including vulnerabilities,
backdoors, and other flaws, in binary off-the-shelf programs.

Background in programming language research or programming language
techniques applied to security research is required, while familiarity with
binary analysis would be highly valuable.

The candidate will perform original research as part of a research team and
will tailor research efforts to the needs of the supporting groups from
industry and/or government.  The position will also oversee the
architecture of our binary analysis platform, which is written in OCaml.
The Post Doc position will be based at Carnegie Mellon University and some
travel to PI meetings will be required.

Take care,
David Brumley

Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1405112208200.6538@laptop-0704>


          Third and Final Call for Course and Workshop Proposals
                              ESSLLI 2015
     27th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
               Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain

                             esslli2015.org


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

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

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.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Spring School on Quantum
 Structures in Physics and Computer Science, 19--22 May 2014
Message-ID: <CANr23v1Q2NGY7+0QHQxs-VSc70ZuO4jCLKNFuQdR_=orM-Mt_w@mail.gmail.com>

We are pleased to make the final announcement for the following event:

  SPRING SCHOOL ON QUANTUM STRUCTURES
  IN PHYSICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

  * 19--22 May 2014, University of Oxford, UK
  * http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ss2014

This school will present a range of lectures on quantum structures in
physics and computer science, with a focus on abstract algebraic
techniques, including category theory. It is an ideal event for PhD
students, as well as more established researchers, who would like to
learn more about these exciting topics close to the research frontier.
The courses will be accessible to anyone who has taken a first course
in quantum information. Everyone is welcome to participate, and
registration information can be found on the school web page.

The school will feature the following courses:

  * SAMSON ABRAMSKY, "CONTEXTUAL SEMANTICS". We shall show how quantum
non-locality and contextuality are naturally described and unified in
the language of sheaf theory. This leads to several concrete
developments in quantum information and foundations, including a novel
classification of multipartite entangled states in terms of their
degree of non-locality, a topological analysis of entanglement
monogamy and macroscopic locality, a cohomological characterisation of
contextuality, and a unifying principle for Bell inequalities based on
logical consistency conditions. We also find that the same structures
manifest themselves in a variety of settings in classical computation,
including  relational database theory, constraint satisfaction, and
natural language semantics.

  * JON BARRETT, "CORRELATIONS AND CONTEXTS: THE QUANTUM NO-GO
THEOREMS". Abstract to be announced.

  * BART JACOBS, "KADISON DUALITY". There is a little-known duality in
functional analysis that is appropriately called Kadison duality. It
connects complete order unit spaces and convex compact Hausdorff
spaces. This connection gives a precise formalisation of the duality
in terms of C*-algebras. The lectures present the essential steps of
the proof of Kadison duality---which are scattered around in the
literature---and also show where the duality is relevant. Familiarity
is assumed with basic category theory, linear algebra, and topology.
C*-algebras will be used in the examples.

  * PRAKASH PANANGADEN, "STONE, GELFAND AND TANNAKA DUALITIES". In
this series of three lectures I will discuss the three dualities
mentioned in the title. Stone duality relates Boolean algebras with
certain kinds of topological spaces and is fundamental for logic.
Gelfand duality, relates compact Hausdorff  spaces to commutative
unital C*-algebras. This is a stepping stone towards the much deeper
dualities of interest in quantum mechanics. The third duality,
Pontryagin duality, is what underlies Fourier theory and will involve
group theory

  * PETER SELINGER, "NUMBER-THEORETIC METHODS IN QUANTUM INFORMATION
THEORY". I will discuss the new class of exact and approximate
synthesis algorithms for quantum circuits, based on algebraic number
theory, which came out in the last 2 years. They greatly improve upon
earlier geometry-based algorithms, such as the well-known
Solovay-Kitaev algorithm.

  * BOB COECKE AND ALEKS KISSINGER, "PICTURING QUANTUM PROCESSES". We
present quantum theory, including quantum computing and quantum
foundations, within an entirely diagrammatical formalism. In
particular, we give a detailed presentation of the diagrammatic
language involved, as well as of how to think of quantum theory as a
theory of processes.  The material follows a forthcoming book with the
same title as this course, and avoids any reference to category theory
(but the connection will be explained by other lectures at the
school).

  * CHRIS HEUNEN AND JAMIE VICARY, "CATEGORICAL QUANTUM COMPUTING".
These lectures cover monoidal categories and their use in modelling
the flow of classical and quantum information in quantum mechanics.
The lectures will cover monoidal categories and the graphical
calculus; Frobenius algebras and their relation to operator algebras;
quantum and classical information channels as completely positive maps
between algebras; and 2-categories and their applications to quantum
computation.

This event is twinned with a conference in honour of Prakash
Panangaden on the occasion of his 60th birthday, to be held on the
dates 23--25 May 2014 at the University of Oxford:

Semantics of proofs and certified mathematics,

there will be a talk by 

Timothy Gowers (Cambridge University)

on May 26, 5 pm, Amphith??tre Hermite (IHP, 11 rue P. et M. Curie)

Title: Fully automatic problem solving with human-style output.

Abstract: I shall describe a program that Mohan Ganesalingam and I created that proves simple statements in elementary abstract analysis. I shall also discuss the broader project of which this is intended to be just a preliminary step. Briefly, the aim is to write a series of programs that solve problems in a "fully human" way, meaning that they do not undertake any search that a human mathematician would not consider undertaking. At first, this seems to be sacrificing everything that makes a computer worth using. However, I shall attempt to explain why we regard this view as mistaken.

CALL FOR PAPERS

26th SYMPOSIUM ON IMPLEMENTATION AND APPLICATION OF FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES - IFL
2014

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY/BOSTON, USA

OCTOBER 1-3, 2014

http://ifl2014.github.io

We are pleased to announce that the 26th edition of the IFL series
will be held at Northeastern University in Boston, USA. The symposium
will be held from 1st to 3rd of October 2014.

Scope
-----

The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively
engaged in the implementation and application of functional and
function-based programming languages.  IFL 2014 will be a venue for
researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in
progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation
and application of functional languages and function-based
programming.

Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2014 will use a post-symposium review
process to produce the formal proceedings. All participants of IFL
2014 are invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended
abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium. At no time
may work submitted to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues;
submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy:

 http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication

The submissions will be screened by the program committee chair to
make sure they are within the scope of IFL, and will appear in the
draft proceedings distributed at the symposium. Submissions appearing
in the draft proceedings are not peer-reviewed publications. Hence,
publications that appear only in the draft proceedings do not count as
publication for the ACM SIGPLAN republication policy. After the
symposium, authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate the
feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be invited to
submit a revised full article for the formal review process. From the
revised submissions, the program committee will select papers for the
formal proceedings considering their correctness, novelty,
originality, relevance, significance, and clarity.

Submission Details
------------------

Submission deadline draft papers:                          September 1 
Notification of acceptance for presentation:               September 5

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

Student Research Competition
------------------------

This year ICFP will host a Student Research Competition where
undergraduate and postgraduate students can present posters. The SRC
at the ICFP 2014 consists of three rounds:

Extended abstract round:

All students are encouraged to submit an extended abstract outlining
their research (800 words).

Poster session at ICFP 2014:

Based on the abstracts, a panel of judges will select the most
promising entrants to participate in the poster session which will
take place at ICFP. Students who make it to this round will be
eligible for some travel support to attend the conference. In the
poster session, students will have the opportunity to present their
work to the judges, who will select three finalists in each category*
(graduate/undergraduate) to advance to the next round.

ICFP presentation:

The last round will consist of an oral presentation at the ICFP to
compete for the final awards in each category.


Prizes
-----

* Both the top three graduate and the top three
                undergraduate winners will receive prizes of $500,
                $300, and $200, respectively.

* All six winners will receive award medals and a
                two-year complimentary ACM student membership,
                including a subscription to ACM???s Digital Library.

* The names of the winners will be posted on the SRC
web site.

* The overall first place winner of the SRC will be
invited to participate in the ACM SRC Grand Finals,
an on-line round of competitions among the winners of
other conference-hosted SRCs.

* Grand Finalists and their advisors will be invited to
                the Annual ACM Awards Banquet for an
                all-expenses-paid trip, where they will be recognized
                for their accomplishments along with other
                prestigious ACM award winners, including the winner
                of the Turing Award (also known as the Nobel Prize of
                Computing).

* The top three graduate Grand Finalists will receive an
                additional $500, $300, and $200. Likewise, the top
                three undergraduate Grand Finalists will receive an
                additional $500, $300, and $200. All six Grand
                Finalists will receive Grand Finalist certificates.

* The ACM, Microsoft Research, and our industrial
                partners provide financial support for students
                attending the SRC. You can find more information
                about this on the ACM website.


Eligibility
--------

The SRC is open to both undergraduate (not in a PhD programme) and
graduate students (in a PhD programme). Upon submission, entrants must
be enrolled as a student at their universities, and are ACM student
members.

Furthermore, there are some constraints on what kind of work may be
submitted.

Previously published work:

Submissions should consist of original work (not yet accepted for
publication). If the work is a continuation of previously published
work, the submission should focus on the contribution over what has
already been published. We encourage students to see this as an
opportunity to get early feedback and exposure for the work they plan
to submit to the next ICFP or POPL.

Collaborative work:

Students are encouraged to submit work they have been conducting in
collaboration with others, including advisors, internship mentors, or
other students. However, submissions are individual, so they must
focus on the contributions of the student.

Submission Details
---------------

Each submission should include the student author???s name,
institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and postal address;
research advisor???s name; ACM student member number; category
(undergraduate or graduate); research title; and an extended abstract
addressing the following:


* Problem and Motivation: Clearly state the problem being
            addressed and explain the reasons for seeking a solution to
          this problem.

* Background and Related Work: Describe the specialized (but
          pertinent) background necessary to appreciate the
          work. Include references to the literature where appropriate,
          and briefly explain where your work departs from that done by
          others.

* Approach and Uniqueness: Describe your approach in attacking
          the problem and clearly state how your approach is novel.

* Results and Contributions: Clearly show how the results of
       your work contribute to computer science and explain
       the significance of those results.

The abstract must describe the student???s individual research and must
be authored solely by the student. If the work is collaborative with
others and/or part of a larger group project, the abstract should make
clear what the student???s role was and should focus on that portion of
the work. The extended abstract must not exceed 800 words and must not
be longer than 2 pages. The reference list does not count towards
these limits. To submit an abstract, please register through the
submission page and follow the instructions. Abstracts submitted after
the deadline may be considered at the committee's discretion, but only
after decisions have been made on all abstracts submitted before the
deadline. If you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact the
competition chair.


Important Dates

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Fun With Formal Methods: deadline extension and
	2nd CFP.
Message-ID: <01e601cf7138$efbe3100$cf3a9300$@nsk.su>

2nd workshop on Fun With Formal Methods (FWFM-2014, 

http://www.easychair.org/smart-program/VSL2014/FWFM-cfp.html)

 

Vienna, Austria, July 13, 2014 (as a part of Vienna Summer of Logic
VSL-2014, http://vsl2014.at/ 

in affiliation with (CAV-2014, http://vsl2014.at/meetings/CAV-index.html ).


 

* Aims and Scope

Almost half of a century has passed since Robert W. Floyd published the

first research that explicitly discussed formally how to assign meaning to
programs. But

recently David L. Parnas have called Really Rethinking "Formal Methods", to
question the

assumptions underlying the well-known current formal software development
methods to see

why they have not been widely adopted and what should be changed. So, things
are

right where they started decades ago?  

 

Not at all, since industrial applications of Formal Methods are not the

unique measure of success. Another dimension where we can discuss utility of
Formal Methods

could be better education. A very popular (in Russia) aphorism of Mikhail
Lomonosov

(the first Russian academician) says: "Mathematics should be learned just
because it

disciplines and bring up the mind". We do believe that Formal Methods
discipline and

bring up minds in Computer Science. We would not like to say that educators
should not care

about industrial applications of Formal Methods (quite opposite, we must
care!).

At the same time Formal Methods education helps to bridge a "cultural gap"

(E.W.Dijkstra) between Mathematics and Computer Science. 

 

The problem is how to overcome a stable allergy to Formal Methods: many

people think Formal Methods are too pure in theory but too poor in practice.
We do

believe that the basic reason behind this allergy is the absence of primary,
elementary

level. It is not wise to start teaching arithmetic from Peano axiomatic, but
it is a common

sense to start from elementary problems about numbers of apples, pencils,
etc. 

 

* The workshop is designed for

- enjoying the art and beauty of Formal Methods,

- discussing experience how to make Formal Methods easy, 

- presenting application of Formal Methods to puzzles, to games, etc., 

- non-standard problem solving outside programming and Computer Science,

- everything else about Fun and Joy of Formal Methods. 

 

* Invited speakers

- Nikolay Nepejvoda (Program Systems Institute, Russia), the title TBA

* Prvious workshop FWFM-2013

One day workshop Fun With Formal Method was held Saturday, July 13, 2013, in
Saint Petersburg, 

Russia (FWFM-2013) in affiliation with the 25th International Conference on

post-proceedings of FWFM-2013. 

 

* Paper Submissions

Extended abstracts and papers on topics related to FWFM are solicited. There
is no any 

strict limit for page number or style, but it is recommended to be in range
2-4 pages 

for extended abstracts and 4-16 pages for papers. (Single column, single
interval, font 

not less than 12 for review convenience.) 

 

All submitted paper will be reviewed by 2 members of Program Committee (or

Subject: [TYPES/announce] POPL 2015: Call for papers
Message-ID: <518F1889-BED4-4592-BC10-42CA8D2121A0@mpi-sws.org>

42nd ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages
(POPL 2015)

http://popl.mpi-sws.org/2015/

January 15-17, 2015
Mumbai, India

Call for Papers

-----
Scope
-----

The annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages is a forum
for the discussion of all aspects of programming languages and
programming systems. Both theoretical and experimental papers are
welcome, on topics ranging from formal frameworks to experience
reports. Papers discussing new ideas and new areas are encouraged, as
are papers (often called "pearls") that elucidate existing concepts in
ways that yield new insights.  We are looking for any submission with the
potential to make enduring contributions to the theory, design,
implementation or application of programming languages.

----------
Evaluation
----------

The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each
submission as well as its accessibility to both experts and the
general POPL audience. All papers will be judged on significance,
originality, relevance, correctness, and clarity.

Explaining a known idea in a new way may make as strong a contribution
as inventing a new idea. Hence, we encourage the submission of pearls:
elegant essays that explain an old idea, but do so in a new way that
clarifies the idea and yields new insights. There is no formal
separation of categories; pearls will be held to the same standards
as any other paper.  Advice on writing pearls can be found in the
ICFP 2006 Call for Papers.

Each paper, pearl or otherwise, should explain its contributions in
both general and technical terms, identifying what has been
accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and comparing it with
previous work. Authors should strive to make their papers
understandable to a broad audience. Advice on writing technical papers
can be found on the SIGPLAN Author Information page:

http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author

reviewing policies can be found here:

---------------------
Submission guidelines
---------------------

Prior to the registration deadline, the authors will register their
paper by uploading information on the submission title, abstract (of
at most 300 words), authors, topics, and conflicts to the conference
web site.  Papers that are not registered on time will be rejected.

Prior to the final paper submission deadline, the authors will upload
their full paper of no more than 12 pages (including bibliography and
appendices) formatted according to the ACM proceedings format. Papers
may be resubmitted multiple times up until the deadline.  The last
version submitted will be the version that is reviewed.  Papers
that exceed the length requirement or are submitted late will be
rejected.  All deadlines are firm.

We encourage authors to provide any supplementary material that is
required to support the claims made in the paper, such as detailed
proofs, proof scripts, or experimental data. These materials should be
uploaded at submission time, as a single pdf or a tarball, not via a
URL. It will be made available to reviewers only after they have
submitted their first-draft reviews and hence need not be
anonymized. Reviewers are under no obligation to look at the
supplementary material but may refer to it if they have questions
about the material in the body of the paper.

Templates for ACM format are available for Word Perfect, Microsoft
Word, and LaTeX at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author (use the 9
pt preprint template). Submissions should be in PDF and printable on
US Letter and A4 sized paper.

Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy and
the ACM Policy on Plagiarism. Concurrent submissions to other
conferences, workshops, journals, or similar forums of publication are
not allowed.

Republication Policy:  http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication
Plagiarism Policy:  http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism_policy

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date 
the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. 
This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the
conference. The official publication date affects the deadline 
for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare
conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital
Library after the conference is over, the official publication 
date remains the first day of the conference.)

POPL 2015 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. To
facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules:

(1) author names and institutions must be omitted, and
(2) references to authors' own related work should be in the third person
(e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on
the work of ...").

The purpose of this process is to help the PC and external reviewers come to
an initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it
impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to
try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally
would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the
web or give talks on their research ideas.  The program chair has put
together a document answering frequently asked questions that
should address many common concerns.

ARTIFACT EVALUATION: Authors of accepted papers will be invited to
formally submit supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation
process. Artifact Evaluation, which is new this year, is run by a
separate committee whose task is to assess how the artifacts support
the work described in the papers. This submission is voluntary and
will not influence the final decision regarding the papers. Papers
that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will
receive a seal of approval printed on the papers
themselves. Additional information is to be found on the POPL AEC web
page. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make these
materials publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by
including them as "source materials" in the ACM Digital Library.

Continuity, Computability, Constructivity ? From Logic to Algorithms (CCC 2014)
 University of Ljubljana, 15-19 September 2014
 Second call for papers
http://ccc2014.fmf.uni-lj.si/

CCC is a workshop series bringing together researchers from real analysis, computability theory, and constructive mathematics. The overall aim is to apply logical methods in these disciplines to provide a sound foundation for obtaining exact and provably correct algorithms for computations with real numbers and related analytical data, which are of increasing importance in safety critical applications and scientific computation.

Previous workshops have been held in Cologne CCC 2009, Trier CCC 2012, and Gregynog 2013. One outcome of the 2009 workshop series is the creation of the EU funded research network COMPUTAL (Computable analysis ? theoretical and applied aspects) which supports research visits from Europe to Russia, South-Africa, and Japan and vice versa. This workshop also hosts the third COMPUTAL workshop, but is open to all researchers in the area.
The workshop will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Scope: The workshop specifically invites contributions in the areas of
exact real number computation,
effective topology,
Scott's domain theory,
Weihrauch's type two theory of effectivity,
category-theoretic approaches to computation on infinite data,
 hierarchies of unsolvability,
and related areas.

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.

                        CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

                      Co-located with ICFP 2014
                         Sponsored by SIGPLAN
           Talk Proposal Submission Deadline: May 23, 2014 (Extended)

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

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.

Schedule
========

Abstract Submission Deadline: Friday, May 23, 2014 23:59 UTC-11
Notification to Speakers: Monday, June 30, 2014
Workshop: Friday, September 5, 2014

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.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
ISR 2014
7th International School on Rewriting

http://isr2014.inf.utfsm.cl

August 25-29, 2014
Universidad T?cnica Feder?co Santa Mar?a
Valpara?so, Chile

Co-located with the 21st Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and 
Computation (WoLLIC 2014)
http://web.ing.puc.cl/~wollic

Rewriting is a branch of computer science whose origins go back to the 
origins of computer science itself (with Thue, Church, Post, and many 
other prominent researchers). It has strong links with mathematics, 
algebra, and logic, and it is the basis of well-known programming 
paradigms like functional and equational programming, which are taught 
at the universitary level in many countries. In these programming 
paradigms and corresponding languages, the notions of reduction, pattern 
matching, confluence, termination, strategy, etc., are essential. 
Rewriting provides a solid framework for understanding, using, and 
teaching all these notions. Rewriting techniques are also used in many 
other areas of software engineering (scripting, prototyping, automated 
transformation of legacy systems, refactoring, web services, etc.) and 
are implemented in popular systems like Mathematica, Autocad, and 
others. Rewriting techniques play a relevant role in computing research, 
education, and industry.

The International School on Rewriting is promoted by the IFIP Working 
Group 1.6 Term Rewriting. The school is aimed at master and PhD 
students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the study of 
rewriting concepts and their applications.

Two tracks are offered, including the lectures and the courses:

- Track A: for newcomers in the field, or just for people who want to 
obtain a new, updated exposure.

- Track B: for those who want to get deeper in the most recent 
developments and applications of rewriting.

============================================================
NEW! Invited Speakers:
     Roberto Giacobazzi (University of Verona, Italy)
     Viktor Kuncak (EPFL, Switzerland)
============================================================


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).


Important Dates

 Abstract submission:                            May 30, 2014

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
for publication in the formal proceedings, or accepted only for 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.

Combined 21th International Workshop on Expressiveness in Concurrency
and 11th Workshop on Structural Operational Semantics (EXPRESS/SOS 2014)

EXPRESS/SOS 2014
------------------------------------------------------------
September 1, 2014, Roma (Italy)
Affiliated with CONCUR 2014
http://www.math.unipd.it/~crafa/EXPRESSSOS2014/

Submission of abstracts:    Wednesday June 11, 2014
Submission of papers:            Sunday June 15, 2014
------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE AND TOPICS:

The EXPRESS workshop series aims at bringing together researchers
interested in the expressiveness of various formal systems and
semantic notions, particularly in the field of concurrency. The SOS
workshop series aims at being a forum for researchers, students and
practitioners interested in new developments, and directions for
future investigation, in the field of structural operational
semantics.

Since 2012, the EXPRESS and SOS communities have joined forces and
organised a combined EXPRESS/SOS workshop on the
semantics of systems and programming concepts, and on the
expressiveness of mathematical models of computation.


Topics of interest for this combined workshop include (but are not
limited to):
- expressiveness and comparison of models of computation (process
    algebras, event structures, Petri nets, rewrite systems), and
    programming models (distributed, component-based, object-oriented,
    and service-oriented computing);
- logics for concurrency (modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic
    logics, temporal logics and resource logics);
- analysis techniques for concurrent systems;
- theory of structural operational semantics (metatheory,
    category-theoretic approaches, congruence results);
- comparison of structural operational semantics to other forms of 
semantics;
- applications of structural operational semantics;
- software tools that automate, or are based on, structural
    operational semantics.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

We solicit two types of submissions:

* Full papers (up to 15 pages).
* Short papers (up to 5 pages, not included in the workshop proceedings)

Simultaneous submission to journals, conferences or other workshops is
only allowed for short papers; full papers must be unpublished.
There is one exception to this policy: authors may submit a full paper
that is still under review for TGC 2014, provided that they inform the
chairs prior to submission and immediately withdraw their submission
if it is accepted for TGC 2014.

All submissions should adhere to the EPTCS format (http://www.eptcs.org),
and submission is performed through the EXPRESS/SOS 2014 EasyChair
server (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=expresssos2014).

The final versions of accepted full papers will be published in EPTCS.
Furthermore, authors of a selection of the accepted papers will be
invited to submit an extended version to a special issue of a
high-quality journal.

Notification:               21 July  2014
Workshop:           Saturday, 6 September 2014

The 6th Haskell Implementors' Workshop is to be held alongside ICFP
2014 this year in Gothenburg. It is a forum for people involved in the
design and development of Haskell implementations, tools, libraries,
and supporting infrastructure, to share their work and discuss future
directions and collaborations with others.

Talks and/or demos are proposed by submitting an abstract, and
selected by a small program committee. There will be no published
proceedings; the workshop will be informal and interactive, with a
flexible timetable and plenty of room for ad-hoc discussion, demos,
and impromptu short talks.

Attendance figures clearly reflect the growth of the Haskell user
community and a constant interest in implementation aspects.

Scope and target audience
-------------------------

It is important to distinguish the Haskell Implementors' Workshop from
the Haskell Symposium which is also co-located with ICFP 2014. The
Haskell Symposium is for the publication of Haskell-related research. In
contrast, the Haskell Implementors' Workshop will have no proceedings --
although we will aim to make talk videos, slides and presented data
available with the consent of the speakers.

In the Haskell Implementors' Workshop, we hope to study the underlying
technology. We want to bring together anyone interested in the
nitty-gritty details behind turning plain-text source code into a
deployed product. Having said that, members of the wider Haskell
community are more than welcome to attend the workshop -- we need your
feedback to keep the Haskell ecosystem thriving.

The scope covers any of the following topics. There may be some topics
that people feel we've missed, so by all means submit a proposal even if
it doesn't fit exactly into one of these buckets:

   * Compilation techniques
   * Language features and extensions
   * Type system implementation
   * Concurrency and parallelism: language design and implementation
   * Performance, optimisation and benchmarking
   * Virtual machines and run-time systems
   * Libraries and tools for development or deployment

Talks
-----

At this stage we would like to invite proposals from potential speakers
for talks and demonstrations. We are aiming for 20 minute talks with 10
minutes for questions and changeovers. We want to hear from people
writing compilers, tools, or libraries, people with cool ideas for
directions in which we should take the platform, proposals for new
features to be implemented, and half-baked crazy ideas. Please submit a
talk title and abstract of no more than 300 words.

Submissions should be made via EasyChair. The website is:
   https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hiw2014

If you don't have an account you can create one here:
   https://www.easychair.org/account/signup.cgi

Because the submission is an abstract only, please click the "abstract
only" button when you make your submission.  There is no need to
attach a separate file.

We will also have a lightning talks session which will be organised on
the day. These talks will be 5-10 minutes, depending on available time.
Suggested topics for lightning talks are to present a single idea, a
work-in-progress project, a problem to intrigue and perplex Haskell
implementors, or simply to ask for feedback and collaborators.

Message-ID: <CAJBH-d_4mZMiPajsO+iCPYwjrsbSyqsnEGv36Nanger8NrOh=w@mail.gmail.com>

Dear colleagues,

The Journal of Logical and Algebraic Programming (JLAP), which formerly was
the Journal of Logic Programming (JLP), has undergone some major changes
and has been named Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming
(JLAMP).

JLAMP is a new publication outlet for researchers working on programming
models, program specification and verification, on qualitative and
quantitative analysis, and on security, amongst others.

We hope to continue attracting high quality papers, thematic special issues
and survey papers which are more and more important to help researchers
orient themselves within such a prolific area.

Together with the new editorial board we shall try to keep the time between
submission and notification to a minimum.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and hope that you will
submit some of your best work to the journal.

Further information can be obtained from

http://ees.elsevier.com/jlamp

You might also be interested in reading the editorial of the first issue of
the new journal at

---------------------------------------------------------
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, excluding appendix).

- 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 exceed 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

)

Call for Participation:

This is 2nd call for participation for the First Syntax-Guided Synthesis
Competition <http://www.sygus.org/> to be organized as a satellite event of
SYNT <http://vsl2014.at/meetings/SYNT-index.html>/CAV<http://cavconference.org/>and
as part of FLoC
Olympic Games 2014 <http://vsl2014.at/olympics/> at Vienna Summer of
Logic<http://vsl2014.at> (VSL).
VSL will consist of twelve large conferences and numerous workshops,
attracting an expected number of 2500 researchers from all over the world.

The classical formulation of the program-synthesis problem is to find a
program that meets a correctness specification given as a logical formula.
Recent work on program synthesis and program optimization illustrates many
potential benefits of allowing the user to supplement the logical
specification with a syntactic template that constrains the space of
allowed implementation. The motivation is twofold. First, narrowing the
space of implementations makes the synthesis problem more tractable.
Second, providing a specific syntax can potentially lead to better
optimizations.

The input to the syntax-guided synthesis problem (SyGuS) consists of a
background theory, a semantic correctness specification for the desired
program given by a logical formula, and a syntactic set of candidate
implementations given by a grammar. The computational problem then is to
find an implementation from the set of candidate expressions that satisfies
the specification in the given theory.

The SyGuS-Comp competition will allow solvers to compete on a collection of
benchmarks and advance the state-of-the-art for program-synthesis tools.
The competition is organized as part of NSF Expeditions in Computing project
ExCAPE <https://excape.cis.upenn.edu/> by Rajeev Alur (Penn), Dana Fisman
(Penn), Rishabh Singh (MIT) and Armando Solar-Lezama (MIT). For questions
regarding the competition please contact the organizers at
sygus-organizers at seas.upenn.edu.

Categories

In the first year of the competition, we will have a single track. The
solvers are expected to support the complete SyGuS-IF
format<https://github.com/rishabhs/sygus-comp14/blob/master/docs/sygus-language.pdf?raw=true>for
the theories of bit-vector and integer linear arithmetic. However,
participants can still submit their tools even if the ?let? construct in
the grammars is not supported. Solvers that don?t support the ?let?
construct would be evaluated against similar solvers.

Benchmarks for the competition

We will evaluate the solvers on a subset of public
benchmarks<https://github.com/rishabhs/sygus-comp14/tree/master/benchmarks>and
some secret benchmarks. The benchmarks domain areas include bit-vector
manipulation, including bit-vector algorithms, concurrency, robotics, and
invariant generation.

Evaluation

Evaluation of the solvers will be done on the
StarExec<https://www.starexec.org/starexec/public/about.jsp>system
(200 dual quad-core machines with 256GB memory each). The solvers
would be run with a TIMEOUT value. The SyGuS-correctness checker, as well
as two initial solvers (enumerative and stochastic) are available on the
SyGuS community at StarExec. Candidate participants are invited to register
to StarExec where they can easily and discreetly compare their solvers to
the initial ones against the public benchmarks.

Scoring Scheme

The solvers scores will be based primarily on the number of benchmark
solved and the solving time, and secondarily on the succinctness of the
synthesized solution.

Tool Submission and Description

We expect the tool developers to test their solvers on the public
benchmarks, and submit the solver binaries by the Solver submission
deadline. Each solver submission should be accompanied by a 1-2 page (IEEE
format) description of the key ideas of the solvers.

Licensing of Tools and Benchmarks:

All benchmarks will be made public after the competition. We encourage the
tool developers to make their solvers open-source, but participants are
welcomed to submit binaries of proprietary tools as well.

Important Dates:

Solver Submission Deadline: 15 June 2014

Competition takes place: 28 June 2014

Results published: 10 July 2014

Awards: 21 July 2014 at the FLoC Awards Ceremony<http://vsl2014.at/olympics/>

Solver Presentations: 23-24 July 2014 (with
SYNT<http://vsl2014.at/meetings/SYNT-index.html>
)

Awards

The winner(s) of the competition will be awarded Olympic Games certificates
(one per team member) and Kurt Goedel
medals<http://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/eng/medaillen/highlights.> made
of silver (one per team) in a ceremony of the FLoC Olympic Games
2014<http://vsl2014.at/olympics/>.
 In addition the winner(s) will also receive $1000, sponsored
graciously by Microsoft
Research <http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/>.

CALL FOR PAPERS
 4th International Symposium on Model-Based Safety Assessment

 Munich, Germany, October 27-29, 2014
 Web: http://www.imbsa.org
Mail: info at imbsa.org
--------------------------------------------------------------------

After previous editions in Toulouse (2011), Bordeaux (2012), and Versailles (2013), the 4th International Symposium on Model-Based Safety and Assessment (IMBSA 2014) will be held in Munich, Germany.
This forum aims at bringing together engineers, software specialists and researchers working on all aspects of model-based safety assessment.

The goal of IMBSA is to provide a forum, where brand new ideas from academia, leading edge technology and industrial experiences are brought together. The objectives are to present experiences and tools, to share ideas, and to consolidate the community. We solicit contributions concerning any domain of safety critical application using model-based methods. This includes, but is not limited to:

*             System Dependability Modeling and Assessment
*             Domain Specific Modeling Formalisms (AltaRica, ...)
*             Model-Driven Engineering Methodologies
*             System Architecture and Optimization
*             System Engineering Modeling Tools with Safety Assessment (SysML...)
*             Case Studies and Practical Experiences
*             Traceability of (Safety)-Requirements
*             Specification of Safety Requirements and Patterns
*             Certification and Standardization of and with Model-Based Methods
*             Integration in Interdisciplinary Processes

*------------------------------------------------------------------*
THE IMBSA APPROACH
*------------------------------------------------------------------*
IMBSA is looking back at a rich tradition of successfully combining research with a high number of industrial contributions. It shows that bridging the gap between basic research and industrial practice can be done effectively through interactive presentation of tools and methods. To take this into account, the conference will - in contrast to solely scientific events - be split into three main parts:

  * a scientific part, where newest findings are presented by renown scientists (DAY 1)
  * a tools and tutorials parts, in which consolidated research achievements are interactively demonstrated (DAY 2)
  * and one part reporting on experiences and hot challenges in industrial practice of safety critical systems (DAY 3)

This way, participants from the industry learn about new tools and techniques, while research groups and spin-off companies can present their achievements to an interested audience. Also industrial contributors and young spin-offs can convince future customers of their tools in this mixed environment. We believe, that this mixture of conventional talks about newest achievements, presentation of practical experiences and interactive learning allows for fruitful discussions, exchange of information as well as future cooperation.

*------------------------------------------------------------------*
SUBMISSION DETAILS
*------------------------------------------------------------------*
For each academic and industrial submission, an abstract should be submitted by May 31th, 2014, using the EasyChair website (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imbsa2014). Academic papers should not exceed 14 pages. Industrial experiences reports may either be submitted as short papers (8 pages) or full papers (14 pages). Both forms of submission have to comply with the LNCS style format and be handed in by 15th of June. For tutorials and tool demonstration, extended abstracts (2 pages) are sufficient but full length papers may also be accepted. All papers will be subject to a full review.

All accepted papers will be published as an Springer LNCS proceedings. The proceedings are planned as pre-conference proceedings and the printed books should be available at the conference day (final approval pending). To be considered for the proceedings, at least one author of each paper has to participate at the conference. Scientific and industrial experience will be presented at the conference in oral form. Tools and tutorials will be presented in special slots (within the main program) and may be presented in an interactive manner.

Fourth Verified Software Competition (VSComp) 2014
14-15 June 2014
http://vscomp.org <http://vscomp.org/>

Organizers: Ernie Cohen, Marcelo Frias, Peter M?ller, Natarajan Shankar

The Fourth Verified Software Competition (VSComp) aims to showcase the
progress in verification technology.  The competition will occur over 48
hours during the weekend of 14/15 June starting with the publication of
the challenge problems at 0900 GMT of Sat June 14 and ending with the
submission deadline for the solutions at 0900 GMT of Mon June 16.  Teams
of up to three individuals can register to participate just prior to the
start of the competition at http://vscomp.org <http://vscomp.org/>.  The
competition will consist of five verification challenges (with possible
sub-problems) spanning a range of domains, including (but not limited to)
sequential and concurrent algorithms, refinement, assertional
verification, and metatheory.  Teams will have to solve the challenge
problems using mechanized tools.  Teams are allowed to use multiple tools
to tackle the challenges. Only the best three problem solutions from each
team will be taken into consideration for evaluating team performance.  An
FAQ Wiki page will be maintained at the website to clarify questions that
might come up before or during the competition.  After the competition,
solutions will be made publicly available for peer review by the other
teams. Teams should be available to answer questions during the peer
review process, and if necessary, be prepared to make their verification
tools available for experimentation.  Based on the results of the peer
review, the organizers will evaluate the solutions for correctness,
completeness, and clarity.

The winners will be given short speaking slots at VSTTE 2014 which takes
place in Vienna during July 17, 18, 2014.  The competition will run on an
honor system to ensure that above guidelines are being followed by each of
the teams.  We especially encourage the participation of all-student teams
and teams that are using tools developed by others.

Questions or comments about the contest should be sent to
vscomp2014 at gmail.com.

==========
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.

Aims and Scope:

There is an increasing demand in industry to use formal methods to
achieve software-independent verification and validation of
safety-critical systems, e.g., in fields such as avionics, automotive,
medical, and other cyber-physical systems. Newer standards, such as
DO-178C (avionics) and ISO 26262 (automotive), emphasize the need for
formal methods and model-based development, speeding up the
adaptation of such methods in industry.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers
who are interested in the application of formal and semi-formal methods
to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. In
particular, FTSCS strives to promote research and development of
formal methods and tools for industrial applications, and is particularly
interested in industrial applications of formal methods.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods for
analyzing safety-critical systems, including avionics, automotive,
medical, and other kinds of safety-critical and QoS-critical systems
* methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis,
certification, debugging, etc., of complex safety/QoS-critical systems
* analysis methods that address the limitations of formal methods in
industry (usability, scalability, etc.)
* formal analysis support for modeling languages used in industry,
such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE, Modelica, etc.
* code generation from validated models.

The workshop will provide a platform for discussions and the exchange of
innovative ideas, so submissions on work in progress are encouraged.


Submission:

We solicit submissions reporting on:

A- original research contributions (15 pages max, LNCS format);
B- applications and experiences (15 pages max, LNCS format);
C- surveys, comparisons, and state-of-the-art reports (15 pages max, LNCS);
D- tool papers (5 pages max, LNCS format);
E- position papers and work in progress (5 pages max, LNCS format)

related to the topics mentioned above.


All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
concurrently for publication elsewhere. Paper submission is done
via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ftscs2014.
The final version of the paper must be prepared in LaTeX, adhering to
the LNCS format available at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0.

Special Issue of THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE
on
Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages and Systems (QAPL 2013/14)

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

********************************
CALL FOR PAPERS
********************************

We invite the submission of papers on Quantitative Aspects of
Programming Languages and Systems for publication in a special issue
of the Journal of Theoretical Computer Science (TCS). In particular we
welcome papers which are revised versions of the submitted to and
presented at the QAPL 2013 Workshop in Rome and QAPL 2014 in
Grenoble. We will additionally also welcome submissions of papers not
presented at QAPL, provided they fall into the scope of the call.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quantitative aspects of computation are important and sometimes
essential in characterising the behaviour and determining the
properties of systems. They are related to the use of physical
quantities (storage space, time, bandwidth, etc.) as well as
mathematical quantities (e.g. probability and measures for
reliability, risk and trust). Such quantities play a central role in
defining both the model of systems (architecture, language design,
semantics) and the methodologies and tools for the analysis and
verification of system properties. This special issue will be devoted
to research papers which discuss the explicit use of quantitative
information such as time and probabilities either directly in the
model or as a tool for the analysis of systems. In particular,
contributions should focus on

* the design of probabilistic and real-time languages and the
   definition of semantical models for such languages;

* the discussion of methodologies for the analysis of probabilistic
   and timing properties (e.g. security, safety, schedulability) and of
   other quantifiable properties such as reliability (for hardware
   components), trustworthiness (in information security) and resource
   usage (e.g. worst-case memory/stack/cache requirements);

* the probabilistic analysis of systems which do not explicitly
   incorporate quantitative aspects (e.g. performance, reliability and
   risk analysis);

* applications to safety-critical systems, communication protocols,
   control systems, asynchronous hardware, and to any other domain
   involving quantitative issues.

* the investigation of computational models and paradigms involving
   quantitative aspects, such as those arising in quantum computation,
   systems biology, bioinformatics, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Topics include (but are not limited to) probabilistic, timing and
general quantitative aspects in:

Language design, language expressiveness, quantitative language
extension, semantics, logic, verification, automated reasoning,
testing, model-checking, program analysis, performance analysis,
resource analysis, safety, security and protocol analysis, risk and
hazard analysis, for biological systems, quantum languages,
information systems, multi-tasking and multi-core systems,
time-critical systems, embedded systems, coordination models,
scheduling theory, distributed systems, concurrent systems, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Papers should be 20-25 pages long, including appendices, and should be
formatted according to Elsevier's elsart document style used for 
articles in
the Journal of Theoretical Computer Science (see the Guide for Authors at

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 1st Workshop on Logics and MODel-checking for self-* systems (MOD*)

http://modstar.cs.unibo.it/

September 12, 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.

23 July 2014: Final versions

== 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

== 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.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Second Workshop on Haskell And Rewriting
 Techniques (HART 2014, co-located with ICFP 2014)
Message-ID: <538590CA.3050809@informatik.uni-bonn.de>


                         CALL FOR PAPERS
   Second Workshop on Haskell And Rewriting Techniques (HART 2014)
           http://www.program-transformation.org/HART14/

To be held on September 5, co-located with ICFP, the Haskell Symposium, 
etc., in Gothenburg.

Haskell is an advanced purely-functional programming language. Pure 
functional programming is programming with equations, often defined by 
pattern-matching. Rewriting is the science of replacing equals by equals 
and thus a very powerful method for dealing with equations, often 
constructor-based. There are strong connections between Haskell (or 
generally, pure functional) programming and rewriting. The purpose of 
the HART workshop is to foster those connections.

In addition to an invited talk by Oleg Kiselyov, we plan a half day of 
discussions, in an informal setting, on how Haskell (and related 
languages) and rewriting techniques and theories can cross-fertilize 
each other.

Topics of interest are, for example:
====================================

- equational reasoning and other rewriting techniques for program 
verification and analysis;
- lambda calculi and type systems for functional programs and 
higher-order rewrite systems;
- rewriting of type expressions in the type checker;
- rewriting of programs by refactoring tools, optimizers, code generators;
- execution of programs as a form of graph rewriting (terms with sharing);
- Template Haskell, generally introducing a rewriting-like macro 
language into the compilation process.

This list of topics is non-exclusive. If you have a contribution that 
connects Haskell and rewriting, then submit. Also, the workshop is 
deliberately open for discussion of rewriting-related aspects of 
languages like Agda, Clean, ...

When in doubt, please contact a member of the PC (see below).

Dates:
======

July 2: deadline for submissions
July 21: notification of acceptance
September 5: workshop

Submission and proceedings:
===========================

We solicit two types of submissions:

- Extended abstracts. Presenting original research, and also preliminary 
reports of work in progress. Will be included in the proceedings.

- Presentation-only papers. Describing work recently published or 
submitted. Only abstract will be included in the proceedings.

Papers should be at most 5 pages in length, and should use the 
easychair.cls style. Submission is electronically at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hart2014

In line with the informal style of the workshop, the reviewing of 
submissions will be light.

Proceedings will be made available electronically.

                    CALL FOR PAPERS

                                BEAT 2014

           Third International Workshop on Behavioural Types
                    1 September 2014, Rome, Italy
 http://beat2014.behavioural-types.eu

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

Affiliated to CONCUR 2014: 25th International Conference on
Concurrency Theory.


** Highlights **

- Deadline: 15th June 2014.
- BEAT 2014 welcomes submissions of full papers and brief
   announcements of already published papers.
- EPTCS proceedings.
- Special issue on Formal Aspects of Computing
  (http://link.springer.com/journal/165).


** Scope **

Behavioural type systems go beyond data type systems in order to
specify, characterise, and reason about dynamic aspects of program
execution. Behavioural types can form a basis for both static analysis
and dynamic monitoring. Recent years have seen a rapid increase in
research on behavioural types, driven partly by the need to formalize
and codify communication structures as computing moves from the
data-processing era to the communication era, and partly by the
realisation that type-theoretic techniques can provide insight into
the fine structure of computation.  Behavioural types encompass:
session types; contracts (for example in service-oriented systems);
typestate; types for analysis of termination, deadlock-freedom,
liveness, race-freedom, and related properties; intersection types
applied to behavioural properties; and other topics.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in all
aspects of behavioural type theory and its applications, in order to
share results, consolidate the community, and discover opportunities
for new collaborations and future directions.


** Topics of Interest **

All aspects of behavioural types, including, but not limited to:

- theoretical foundations of behavioural types
- behavioural types in practical programming languages
- software development and analysis tools for behavioural types
- case studies and software engineering applications of behavioural types
- relationships between different forms of behavioural types
- behavioural types in concurrent and distributed systems
- behavioural types in many-core systems
- behavioural types in service-oriented computing
- behavioural types in cloud computing
- security in behavioural type systems
- new directions for behavioural types


** Submission URL **

 https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=beat2014


** Submission Instructions **

We invite submissions in two categories.

1. Original research papers of up to 8 pages in length, in PDF format,
written in English, using the EasyChair proceedings template available
at http://www.easychair.org/easychair.zip. Simultaneous submission to
other venues is not allowed.

2. Proposals for short presentations of research that has already been
published.

If there is limited space in the workshop programme, then priority
will be given to submissions in category 1. Submissions by PC members
are also allowed.

For each category of submission, authors should submit a title and a
200 word abstract by Wednesday 11th June 2013. Full papers should be

14th Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 Workshop

http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014

24-26th September, 2014

University of Twente, Netherlands

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

Call for Papers

The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 is
to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members
of the international research community on tools and techniques for
the verification of critical systems. The subject is to be interpreted
broadly and inclusively. It covers all aspects of automated
verification, including model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint solving, abstract interpretation, and refinement pertaining
to various types of critical systems which need to meet stringent
dependability requirements (safety-critical, business-critical,
performance-critical, etc.). Contributions that describe different
techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged. The technical
programme will consist of invited and contributed talks and also allow
for short presentations of research ideas. The workshop will be
relatively informal, with an emphasis on discussion.

Topics include (but are not limited to)

     Model Checking
     Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving
     SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification
     Abstract Interpretation
     Specification and Refinement
     Requirements Capture and Analysis
     Verification of Software and Hardware
     Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
     Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems
     Dependable Systems
     Verified System Development
     Industrial Applications

AVoCS 2014 is coorganised and colocated with SPES_XT Summer School
on Model-based design and analysis of cyber-physical systems:

http://spes2020.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/summerschool2014.html

A registration reduction is offered for participants attending
both events.

The workshop will have three invited speakers:

   Laura Kovacs (Chalmers, Sweden) will speak about automated assertion
     generation.
   Alastair Donaldson (Imperial College, U.K.) will speak about 
verification
     of OpenCL kernels.
   Guy Broadfoot (U.K.) will speak about fighting the battle to get 
industry
     to adopt formal based tools.

Important Dates

   Submission (abstract for full paper): 16th June 2014
   Submission (full papers): 23rd June 2014
   Notification (full papers): 30th July 2014

   Submission (research ideas): 7th August 2014
   Notification (research ideas): 14th August 2014

   Submission of final versions: 1st September 2014

   Workshop: 24-26th September 2014 (2.5 days, ends 26th lunchtime)

Submission Details

Full Papers: Submissions of full papers to the workshop must not have
been published or be concurrently considered for publication
elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on the
basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and
presentation quality, and relevance to the workshop. Final versions of
the papers must be written in English and not exceed 15 pages. For
the initial submission you can use any format since the pre-proceedings
will be a technical report. However, we suggest that you use the EASST
template (see below for details) as this will make it easier later on.

Research ideas: AVoCS'14 encourages the submissions of research ideas
in order to stimulate discussions at the workshop. Reports on ongoing
work or surveys on work published elsewhere are welcome. The Programme
Committee will select research ideas on the basis of submitted
abstracts according to significance and general interest. Research
ideas must be written in English and not exceed 2 pages.

Submission Site: The submission site will be available through EasyChair
at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=avocs2014

Conference Proceedings & Special Journal Issue

At the workshop, pre-proceedings will be available in the form of a
University of Twente Technical Report; this report will also include
the research ideas.

After the workshop, the authors of accepted full papers will have
about one month in order to revise their papers for publication in the
workshop post-proceedings which will appear in the Electronic
Communications of the EASST Open Access Journal. Research ideas will
not be part of the proceedings in the Open Access Journal.

EASST Submission Format

There is a dedicated AVoCS 2014 EASST template, please go to EASST
template repository at http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/template/
and look for the AVoCS 2014 entry - this contains the LaTeX and Word
templates that you will need for the conference post-proceedings.

We will invite authors of a selection of the best papers presented at
the workshop to submit extended versions of their work for publication
in a special issue of Elsevier's journal Science of Computer
Programming.

Description
===========

Many of us, logicians, devote our work to the improvement of proofs, proof systems, proof formats, interactive proof script languages, proof search methods... But what makes a proof (system|format|search-method|...) better than another? Logicians from different communities will give radically different answers to this question! The principles behind their answers may be unknown to outsiders; they may even sound obscure, ungrounded or in apparent contradiction to the principles of other communities.

The Vienna Summer of Logic presents a unique opportunity to promote a conversation between all communities on questions related to proofs. APPA will promote a fruitful knowledge exchange by organizing short tutorials given by prominent speakers from various communities. These tutorials shall be accessible to young researchers and of interest to experienced researchers from other communities as well.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Announcing ACM's new Special Interest Group on
	Logic and Computation
Message-ID: <538741A0.7060308@cs.mcgill.ca>

Dear Colleague,

I am delighted to announce the formation of a new special interest group 
focussed on logic and computation. The new SIG will be called SIGLOG. 
The officers are: Prakash Panangaden (Chair), Luke Ong (vice-Chair), 
Natarajan Shankar (Treasurer), Alexandra Silva (Secretary). The officers 
will be assisted by an executive committee and an advisory committee. 
The formation of this SIG has taken a long time with a lot of effort put 
in by many people. The idea of such a SIG was first mooted in 2007 by 
Moshe Vardi and Dana Scott and the first draft proposals were written by 
Vardi with input from Martin Abadi, Rajeev Alur and Phokion Kolaitis.

For a long time the logic and computation community has functioned 
without a unifying organization. It has, nevertheless, grown in numbers 
and diversity and there are now many conferences that testify to the 
vitality of the community. Indeed the FLoC cluster of conferences this 
Summer in Vienna is expected to attract 1500 participants. There are, 
however, many ways in which a community-wide
organization can serve the community that a single-conference-based 
organization cannot.

SIGLOG aims to serve a broad range of interests. The flagship conference 
will be the ACM-IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer
Science. SIGLOG will actively seek association agreements with other 
conferences in the field. A SIGLOG newsletter is planned to be
published quarterly in an electronic format with community news, 
technical columns, members? feedback, conference reports, book reviews 
and other items of interest to the community. An important activity of 
SIGLOG will be advocating for the importance of logic in the 
undergraduate computer science curriculum. Another important activity 
will be the establishment of prizes to recognize the outstanding 
contributions made by leading members of the community. Several members 
of the community have won Turing prizes, but there is room for much more 
recognition, especially for younger researchers. SIGLOG will collaborate 
closely with EATCS and EACSL as well as other organizations, for example 
the G?del Society. SIGLOG will maintain close ties with the ACM 
Transactions on Computational Logic. The upcoming Federated Logic 
Conferences in Vienna (part of the Vienna Summer of Logic) will feature 
a SIGLOG launch event.

SIGLOG seeks to be an inclusive and diverse organization. We are 
committed to encouraging the participation of women in computing and are 
pleased to note that there are many outstanding women leaders in the 
research areas covered by SIGLOG. We actively seek members from all 
geographical regions and from a broad variety of research interests.

It is possible to join SIGLOG as soon as today by filling the form at 
http://www.acm.org/membership/sig-pdfs/SIGLOG.pdf . One can join
SIGLOG without joining ACM (the SIGLOG membership fee is $25 and $15 for 
students).

Yours sincerely,
Prakash Panangaden
SIGLOG Chair

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF) is an annual
conference for researchers in computer security, to examine current
theories of security, the formal models that provide a context for
those theories, and techniques for verifying security. It was created
in 1988 as a workshop of the IEEE Computer Society's Technical
Committee on Security and Privacy, in response to a 1986 essay by Don
Good entitled ?The Foundations of Computer Security?We Need Some.? The
meeting became a ?symposium? in 2007, along with a policy for open,
increased attendance. Over the past two decades, many seminal papers
and techniques have been presented first at CSF.

	Hybrid Systems Theorem Proving
Message-ID: <A7CD2877-8193-4F58-8690-FE7F2B08C36D@cs.cmu.edu>

Postdoc position: Hybrid Systems Theorem Proving
Carnegie Mellon University, Computer Science Department

Professor Andr? Platzer is looking for talented researchers with a strong research track record for a project in the Computer Science Department of Carnegie Mellon University. The aim of the research is to develop next-generation verification techniques for cyber-physical systems and hybrid systems.

Our research group develops logical foundations for cyber-physical systems (CPS), i.e., systems that combine cyber aspects such as communication and computer control with physical aspects such as movement in space. CPS applications abound. Ensuring their correct functioning, however, is a serious challenge. Scientists and engineers need analytic tools to understand and predict the behavior of their systems. That's the key to designing smart and reliable control. These foundations have been implemented in our theorem prover KeYmaera and have found application in the verification of cars, aircraft, railway systems, surgical robots, and mobile robots as well as in a number of courses. This research project will develop the next-generation KeYmaera to advance the state of the art in cyber-physical systems verification and enable efficient verification of complex application scenarios.

Strong applicants will have a background in formal verification and strong functional programming skills. Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in Computer Science or a closely related subject. Suitable applicants nearing completion of a PhD will be considered. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with the students and faculty in the Logical Systems Lab on different aspects of our research agenda. Relevant research topics include sequent calculus, automated theorem proving, invariant generation, proof tactics, and differential invariants.

Interested candidates should send their CV, research statement, and list of references to Professor Andre Platzer at aplatzer at cs.cmu.edu

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


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).


Important Dates

 Abstract submission:                                            June 11, 2014

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
for publication in the formal proceedings, or accepted only for 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.

Overview and Topics of Interest
================================
The aim of the workshop is to bring together practitioners and
researchers from academia, industry and government to present and
discuss ideas about:

  - How to deal with the complexity of software projects by multi-view
modeling and separation of concerns about the design of functionality,
interaction, concurrency, scheduling, and non-functional requirements

  - How to ensure correctness and dependability of soft-ware by
integrating formal methods and tools for modeling, design, verification
and validation into design- and development processes and environments.

  - To explore some hot issues in supporting tool for service-oriented
computing, specification generation, loop invariant generation, code
generation, test-case generation.

  - Case studies and experience reports about harnessing static analysis
tools such as model checking, theorem proving, testing, as well as
runtime monitoring.

The workshop will provide enough time for discussion on problems and
research. Each presentation will be 25 minutes followed by 10 minutes
discussion. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following areas:

  - Models, calculi, and tool support for component-based
      and object-oriented software;
  - Mathematical frameworks, methods and tools for
      model-driven development;
  - Models, calculi, and tool support for integrating different
      scheduling, interaction and concurrency models in highly
      adaptable systems
  - Theory, methods and tools support for service construct,
      services composition, specification generation, loop invariant
      generation, code generation and test-case generation.

Submission and Publication
==========================
Submissions to the workshop must present original research that is
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers will be
judged on the basis of originality, relevance, technical soundness and
presentation quality. Papers must be written in English and not exceed
15 pages in the easychair format (seehttp://www.easychair.org/
publications/easychair.zip). The post-proceedings of
the workshop will be published electronically in a repository indexed by
DBLP (e.g. CEUR-WS, EPTCS,...); to be confirmed.

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 22 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:

relationships. We welcome contributions that address both theoretical and
applied contributions related to the relevance and potential of formal
methods in biology. Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

- Biologically inspired models and calculi (rewrite systems, process
calculi, Petri nets, etc.);
- Theoretical links and comparison of different biological inspired formal
models;
- Qualitative biological modeling;
- Quantitative formal methods;
- Modelling, analysis and simulation tools for biologically inspired systems.

The workshop proceedings will be published in the Electronic Proceedings
in Theoretical Computer Science. After the event, papers presented at the
workshop will be invited to be furtherly extended and submitted to a
special issue of a visible journal (indexed by DBLP, SCOPUS, Web of
Science, etc)

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.

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.

EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE: June 8

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.

IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt). Additional details and proofs omitted due to
space limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix.

Submitted papers must describe work unpublished in refereed venues, and not
submitted for publication elsewhere. 

4PAD will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process (following
several recent conferences, for example, POPL http://popl.mpi-sws.org/2014/).
To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules:
- author names and institutions must be omitted, and
- references to authors' own related work should be in the third person (e.g.,
  not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the work of
  ...").

The purpose of this is to help the PC and external reviewers come to an initial
judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to
discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of
anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper
more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized, and submitted papers may be posted to author web pages etc. as
usual).

Proceedings
==========
Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society in the same volume as
the main track. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present
their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will be indexed, among
others, by IEEE explore, DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.

Special Issue
==========
Selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the
Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming
(http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-logical-and-algebraic-methods-in-programming)

EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE: June 8

DESCRIPTION: 
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.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] PhD Studentship in Cyber Security at Royal
	Holloway, University of London
Message-ID: <49478039-72E6-4EB0-A7E1-06DDE837934D@rhul.ac.uk>

A fully funded, 3.5 year PhD studentship in Cyber Security is available at Royal Holloway, University of London. Applications are invited now, with a closing date of June 22. The student will start in the 2014/15 academic year and will be advised by Dr. Johannes Kinder and Prof. Kenny Paterson. The studentship comes with an annual stipend of ?23,000 over 3.5 years, and additionally covers fees and funds for equipment and travel to conferences.

The topic of the studentship will be the analysis of software that uses cryptographic libraries and routines. Recently, several incidents have been publicised in the media where the implementations of secure protocols turned out to be insecure or prone to vulnerabilities, such as the infamous OpenSSL Heartbleed. These vulnerabilities are often due to subtle programming errors, but they can completely subvert the protection offered by standard cryptographic routines. In this project, we will develop methods and tools to automatically analyse program code and uncover such cryptographic weaknesses. We will build on recent developments in systematic test generation, which already allow to automatically find vulnerabilities like buffer overflows. This project will provide the opportunity to build on strong theoretical foundations to work on real problems in real-world software.


=== Requirements ===

Applicants should have a solid computer science background and a keen interest in information security. Background knowledge in program analysis, automated test generation, cryptography, and C++ or JavaScript is a plus, but not required.

This GCHQ-funded studentship is available only to UK nationals who have been resident in the UK for ten years. Each year, the student will have the opportunity to spend 2-4 weeks with GCHQ on site in Cheltenham.


=== How to Apply ===

The deadline for applications is June 22, 2014. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as they are received and an offer will be made to the strongest candidate as soon as possible after the closing date. 

For informal inquiries about the position, please contact Johannes Kinder (johannes.kinder at rhul.ac.uk). To apply, please follow the instructions on:

  http://www.cs.rhul.ac.uk/home/kinder/vacancies.html


=== About Royal Holloway ===

The student will be hosted at the Department of Computer Science and the Information Security Group (ISG) of Royal Holloway, University of London. The Computer Science Department is one of the UK's leading centres for research into Computer Science. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008), we ranked 11th in the UK for the quality of our research output.

                     CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS

                            HOPE 2014

                 The 3rd ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on
               Higher-Order Programming with Effects

                         August 31, 2014
                       Gothenburg, Sweden
                    (the day before ICFP 2014)

                   http://hope2014.mpi-sws.org

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

HOPE 2014 aims at bringing together researchers interested in the design,
semantics, implementation, and verification of higher-order effectful
programs. It will be *informal*, consisting of invited talks, contributed
talks on work in progress, and open-ended discussion sessions.


---------------------
Goals of the Workshop
---------------------

A recurring theme in many papers at ICFP, and in the research of many
ICFP attendees, is the interaction of higher-order programming with
various kinds of effects: storage effects, I/O, control effects,
concurrency, etc. While effects are of critical importance in many
applications, they also make it hard to build, maintain, and reason
about one's code. Higher-order languages (both functional and
object-oriented) provide a variety of abstraction mechanisms to help
"tame" or "encapsulate" effects (e.g. monads, ADTs, ownership types,
typestate, first-class events, transactions, Hoare Type Theory,
session types, substructural and region-based type systems), and a
number of different semantic models and verification technologies have
been developed in order to codify and exploit the benefits of this
encapsulation (e.g. bisimulations, step-indexed Kripke logical
relations, higher-order separation logic, game semantics, various
modal logics). But there remain many open problems, and the field is
highly active.

The goal of the HOPE workshop is to bring researchers from a variety
of different backgrounds and perspectives together to exchange new and
exciting ideas concerning the design, semantics, implementation, and
verification of higher-order effectful programs.

We want HOPE to be as informal and interactive as possible. The
program will thus involve a combination of invited talks, contributed
talks about work in progress, and open-ended discussion
sessions. There will be no published proceedings, but participants
will be invited to submit working documents, talk slides, etc. to be
posted on this website.


-----------------------
Call for Talk Proposals
-----------------------

We solicit proposals for contributed talks. Proposals should be at
most 2 pages, in either plain text or PDF format, and should specify
how long a talk the speaker wishes to give. By default, contributed
talks will be 30 minutes long, but proposals for shorter or longer
talks will also be considered. Speakers may also submit supplementary
material (e.g. a full paper, talk slides) if they desire, which PC
members are free (but not expected) to read.

We are interested in talks on all topics related to the interaction of
higher-order programming and computational effects. Talks about work
in progress are particularly encouraged. If you have any questions
about the relevance of a particular topic, please contact the PC
chairs at the address hope2014 AT mpi-sws.org.

Deadline for talk proposals: 	June 13, 2014 (Friday)

Notification of acceptance:   	July 4, 2014 (Friday)

Workshop:    	 August 31, 2014 (Sunday)

Verifying Security Properties of SES Programs
Philippa Gardner, Imperial College London


Secure ECMAScript (SES) is a subset of JavaScript, designed in such a
way that untrusted code can safety co-exist with trusted code. We
introduce a program logic for verifying security properties of SES
programs. It follows separation logic in that we can make local
assertions about local state. It is different from separation logic in
that we can also make global assertions about the global state and its
interface with the local state. For example, we can globally assert
that untrusted objects do not contain pointers to local trusted
objects. Such assertions are key for describing security properties of
common SES programs. This logic builds on the work of Gardner, Maffeis
and Smith on reasoning about a core fragment of JavaScript (POPL2012),
and the recent work of Smith on extending the logic to handle
higher-order functions.

This is joint work with Gareth Smith and Thomas Wood, Imperial.

_ AIMS AND SCOPE

This special issue of the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming
(JLAMP,
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-logical-and-algebraic-methods-in-programming)
is devoted to the topics of the 7th International Workshop on
Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency and
Communication-cEntric Software (PLACES 2014,
http://places14.di.fc.ul.pt), which took place on April 2014 in
Grenoble, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and
Practice of Software (ETAPS). This is however an open call for papers,
therefore both participants of the workshop and other authors are
encouraged to submit their contributions.

Submissions are invited in the general area of programming language
approaches to concurrency, communication and distribution, ranging
from foundational issues, through language implementations, to
applications and case studies. Specific topics include, but are not
limited to:

- 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

_ SUBMISSION

We expect original articles (20-30 pages) that present high-quality
contributions that have not been previously published in another
journal and that must not be simultaneously submitted for publication
elsewhere.  Longer papers will be considered if there is a clear
justification for why additional pages are necessary; authors should
contact the guest editors to discuss this. Each paper will undergo a
thorough evaluation by at least two reviewers.  The authors will have
about one month to incorporate the comments of the reviewers and
submit a revised version of their papers, which will be evaluated
again by the reviewers to make a final decision.

Contributions should be typeset in PDF format and must comply with
JLAMP's author guidelines, which can be retrieved from
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-logical-and-algebraic-methods-in-programming/2352-2208/guide-for-authors.

Submissions are handled by the Elsevier Editorial System and can be
uploaded from the JLAMP web page.

The European Research Consortium in Informatics and Mathematics
(ERCIM) has a technical WG on Security and Trust Management (STM) for
performing a series of activities, as research projects,
workshop/conference organization, dissemination of knowledge, for
increasing the European research and development capabilities on
security, trust, and privacy.

One of the main goals of the WG is to promote the scientific growth of
young researchers interested in the field of security and trust
management. ERCIM STM WG then decided to establish an award for the
best Ph.D. thesis in this area to increase the visibility of the young
researchers within the ERCIM scientific community as well as in the
scientific community in general.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* applied cryptography;

* data and application security;

* identity management;

* networked systems security;

* privacy, anonymity, and untraceability;

* rigorous semantics and computational models for security and trust;

Continuity, Computability, Constructivity ? From Logic to Algorithms (CCC 2014)
 University of Ljubljana, 15-19 September 2014
 Third  call for papers
Extended deadline
http://ccc2014.fmf.uni-lj.si/

CCC is a workshop series bringing together researchers from real analysis, computability theory, and constructive mathematics. The overall aim is to apply logical methods in these disciplines to provide a sound foundation for obtaining exact and provably correct algorithms for computations with real numbers and related analytical data, which are of increasing importance in safety critical applications and scientific computation.

Previous workshops have been held in Cologne CCC 2009, Trier CCC 2012, and Gregynog 2013. One outcome of the 2009 workshop series is the creation of the EU funded research network COMPUTAL (Computable analysis ? theoretical and applied aspects) which supports research visits from Europe to Russia, South-Africa, and Japan and vice versa. This workshop also hosts the third COMPUTAL workshop, but is open to all researchers in the area.
The workshop will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Scope: The workshop specifically invites contributions in the areas of
exact real number computation,
effective topology,
Scott's domain theory,
Weihrauch's type two theory of effectivity,
category-theoretic approaches to computation on infinite data,
 hierarchies of unsolvability,
and related areas.

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

Subject: [TYPES/announce] BEAT 2014 -- Deadline Extension (now 22/06/2014)
Message-ID: <CAGTL3npYG=i+nZTDDA8-rfGq3bBfk6FVoWhwbJXdh3cWBOpewg@mail.gmail.com>

After several requests, I'm happy to announce that we have given a 1-week
deadline extension for submitting papers to BEAT 2014, the third
International Workshop on Behavioural Types.



[- Apologies for multiple copies -]


                     CALL FOR PAPERS

                                BEAT 2014

           Third International Workshop on Behavioural Types
                    1 September 2014, Rome, Italy
 http://beat2014.behavioural-types.eu

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

Affiliated to CONCUR 2014: 25th International Conference on
Concurrency Theory.


** Highlights **

- *Deadline: 22th June 2014 (23:59, anywhere on earth)*
- BEAT 2014 welcomes submissions of full papers and brief
   announcements of already published papers.
- EPTCS proceedings.
- Special issue on Formal Aspects of Computing
  (http://link.springer.com/journal/165).


** Scope **

Behavioural type systems go beyond data type systems in order to
specify, characterise, and reason about dynamic aspects of program
execution. Behavioural types can form a basis for both static analysis
and dynamic monitoring. Recent years have seen a rapid increase in
research on behavioural types, driven partly by the need to formalize
and codify communication structures as computing moves from the
data-processing era to the communication era, and partly by the
realisation that type-theoretic techniques can provide insight into
the fine structure of computation.  Behavioural types encompass:
session types; contracts (for example in service-oriented systems);
typestate; types for analysis of termination, deadlock-freedom,
liveness, race-freedom, and related properties; intersection types
applied to behavioural properties; and other topics.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in all
aspects of behavioural type theory and its applications, in order to
share results, consolidate the community, and discover opportunities
for new collaborations and future directions.


** Topics of Interest **

All aspects of behavioural types, including, but not limited to:

- theoretical foundations of behavioural types
- behavioural types in practical programming languages
- software development and analysis tools for behavioural types
- case studies and software engineering applications of behavioural types
- relationships between different forms of behavioural types
- behavioural types in concurrent and distributed systems
- behavioural types in many-core systems
- behavioural types in service-oriented computing
- behavioural types in cloud computing
- security in behavioural type systems
- new directions for behavioural types

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

== 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.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 1st Workshop on Logics and MODel-checking for self-* systems (MOD*)

http://modstar.cs.unibo.it/

September 12, 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.

IMPORTANT DATES (STRICT)

June 15, 2014: Abstract submissions
June 22, 2014: Submission of regular papers
July 21, 2014: Notification of paper acceptance/rejection
August 8, 2014: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers. Every submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science series (EPTCS).  Authors are invited to submit papers of no more than 14 pages in the EPTCS format style (please use the LaTeX style provided at http://style.eptcs.org/). Proofs omitted due to space constraints can be put into an appendix to be read at the reviewers' discretion. Proofs added into appendix will *not* be published on proceedings. Submissions should be made using the MOD* 2014 Easychair web site:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mod2014

The authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the workshop by the early date, to be indicated by the organizers, and *must* present the paper.
A special issue with a selection of the best papers on an international journal will be taken into consideration.

Message-ID: <20140613194235.GA9869@fujikawa.home.brucker.ch>

(Apologies for duplicates)

                            CALL FOR PAPERS
        14th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling
                Applications and Case Studies (OCL 2014)

        Co-located with ACM/IEEE 17th International Conference on
       Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2014)
                September 28-30 (tbc), 2014, VALENCIA, SPAIN
                http://www.software.imdea.org/OCL2014/

Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical
notation. Such visual representations enable direct intuitive
capturing of reality, but some of their features are difficult to
formalize and lack the level of precision required to create complete
and unambiguous specifications. Limitations of the graphical notations
encouraged the development of text-based modeling languages that
either integrate with or replace graphical notations for
modeling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF,
Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots in
formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases.

The goal of this workshop is create a forum where researchers and
practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds
of textual languages can directly interact, report advances, share
results, identify tools for language development, and discuss
appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage
discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language
concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable
researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options
for potential cooperation.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
===================================================
- Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms
- Algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations in the context
  of textual modeling languages for
  -- validation, verification, and testing,
  -- model transformation and code generation,
  -- metamodeling and DSLs, and
  -- query and constraint specifications
- Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modeling languages
- Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modeling expressions 
- Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modeling languages
- Complexity results for textual modeling languages
- Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating
  textual modeling tools and algorithms
- Successful applications of textual modeling languages
- Case studies on industrial applications of textual modeling languages
- Experience reports
  -- usage of textual modeling languages and tools in complex domains,
  -- usability of textual modeling languages and  tools for end-users
- Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modeling 
  languages
- Innovative textual modeling tools
- Comparison, evaluation and integration of modeling languages
- Correlation between modeling languages and modeling tasks

This year, we particularly encourage submissions describing
applications and case studies of textual modeling as well as test
suites and benchmark collections for evaluating textual modeling
tools.

Venue
=====
The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS 2014 Conference in
Valencia, Spain. It continues the series of OCL workshops held at
UML/MODELS conferences: York (2000), Toronto (2001), San Francisco
(2003), Lisbon (2004), Montego Bay (2005), Genova (2006), Nashville
(2007), Toulouse (2008), Denver (2009), Oslo (2010), Zurich (2011, at
the TOOLs conference), 2012 in Innsbruck, and 2013 in Miami.  Similar
to its predecessors, the workshop addresses both people from academia
and industry. The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration
of OCL and other textual modeling languages, as well as tools for
textual modeling, and for disseminating good practice and discussing
the new requirements for textual modeling.

Workshop Format
===============
The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel
sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] POPL 2015: Second call for papers
Message-ID: <3A6A314B-90D7-4E20-A08E-3593670C0F3D@mpi-sws.org>

42nd ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages
(POPL 2015)

http://popl.mpi-sws.org/2015/

January 15-17, 2015
Mumbai, India

Call for Papers

---- Scope ----

The annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages is a forum
for the discussion of all aspects of programming languages and
programming systems. Both theoretical and experimental papers are
welcome, on topics ranging from formal frameworks to experience
reports. Papers discussing new ideas and new areas are encouraged, as
are papers (often called "pearls") that elucidate existing concepts in
ways that yield new insights.  We are looking for any submission with the
potential to make enduring contributions to the theory, design,
implementation or application of programming languages.

---- Evaluation ----

The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each
submission as well as its accessibility to both experts and the
general POPL audience. All papers will be judged on significance,
originality, relevance, correctness, and clarity.

Explaining a known idea in a new way may make as strong a contribution
as inventing a new idea. Hence, we encourage the submission of pearls:
elegant essays that explain an old idea, but do so in a new way that
clarifies the idea and yields new insights. There is no formal
separation of categories; pearls will be held to the same standards
as any other paper.  Advice on writing pearls can be found in the
ICFP 2006 Call for Papers.

Each paper, pearl or otherwise, should explain its contributions in
both general and technical terms, identifying what has been
accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and comparing it with
previous work. Authors should strive to make their papers
understandable to a broad audience. Advice on writing technical papers
can be found on the SIGPLAN Author Information page:

http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author

A document that details principles underlying organizational and
reviewing policies can be found here:

http://popl.mpi-sws.org/PrinciplesofPOPL.pdf

---- Submission guidelines ----

Prior to the registration deadline, the authors will register their
paper by uploading information on the submission title, abstract (of
at most 300 words), authors, topics, and conflicts to the conference
web site.  Papers that are not registered on time will be rejected.

Prior to the final paper submission deadline, the authors will upload
their full paper of no more than 12 pages (including bibliography and
appendices) formatted according to the ACM proceedings format. Papers
may be resubmitted multiple times up until the deadline.  The last
version submitted will be the version that is reviewed.  Papers
that exceed the length requirement or are submitted late will be
rejected.  All deadlines are firm.

We encourage authors to provide any supplementary material that is
required to support the claims made in the paper, such as detailed
proofs, proof scripts, or experimental data. These materials should be
uploaded at submission time, as a single pdf or a tarball, not via a
URL. It will be made available to reviewers only after they have
submitted their first-draft reviews and hence need not be
anonymized. Reviewers are under no obligation to look at the
supplementary material but may refer to it if they have questions
about the material in the body of the paper.

Templates for ACM format are available for Word Perfect, Microsoft
Word, and LaTeX at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author (use the 9
pt preprint template). Submissions should be in PDF and printable on
US Letter and A4 sized paper.

Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy and
the ACM Policy on Plagiarism. Concurrent submissions to other
conferences, workshops, journals, or similar forums of publication are
not allowed.

Republication Policy:  http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication
Plagiarism Policy:  http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism_policy

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the 
proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date 
may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. 
The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings 
related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings
are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over,
the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.)

POPL 2015 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. To
facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules:

(1) author names and institutions must be omitted, and
(2) references to authors' own related work should be in the third person
(e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on
the work of ...").

The purpose of this process is to help the PC and external reviewers come to
an initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it
impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to
try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally
would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the
web or give talks on their research ideas.  The program chair has put
together a document answering frequently asked questions that
should address many common concerns.

http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~dpw/popl/15/dbr-faq.html

ARTIFACT EVALUATION: Authors of accepted papers will be invited to
formally submit supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation
process. Artifact Evaluation, which is new this year, is run by a
separate committee whose task is to assess how the artifacts support
the work described in the papers. This submission is voluntary and
will not influence the final decision regarding the papers. Papers
that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will
receive a seal of approval printed on the papers
themselves. Additional information is to be found on the POPL AEC web
page. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make these
materials publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by
including them as "source materials" in the ACM Digital Library.

between linear algebra and the formal semantics approach to  
computation, recently arisen from the linear logic proof theory and  
the lambda-calculus. Its goal is to develop concrete examples of the  
new observations one can do on computing through quantitative  
semantics and differential linear logic.

A brief summary of the project can be found at:

Subject: [TYPES/announce] PhD Position in High-level Programming Languages
 for Manycore Architectures
Message-ID: <B55C37F1-EED5-4BDF-A443-7390B8C9E809@it.uu.se>

[* Relevence to Types List: Language being designed uses type-based optimisations *]

PhD position in Computer Science on 
High-Level Programming Languages for Manycore Architectures
at Uppsala University, Sweden

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

The Department of Information Technology is opening 1 PhD student position 
within the UpScale project for a highly motivated, out-of-the-box thinker 
interested in research in programming language design for multicore 
architectures. 

The problem motivating the UpScale project is making use of the ever-
increasing level of hardware parallelism in general-purpose software. 
Modern programming languages only provide very limited support for 
parallel programming which does not scale to the massively parallel 
machines on the horizon. The aim of UpScale is to develop high-level 
programming language technology to facilitate software to efficiently 
use the parallel computers of tomorrow and to scale seamlessly to 
different parallel hardware configurations.

The research will involve design and development of programming language
technology for programming multicore hardware. This will entail working
within a team on the implementation of a compiler and run-time support, 
theoretical investigations of programming language semantics and its 
connection to low-level hardware, the development of case studies and 
benchmarking.

Qualifications: The candidate should have a Master of Science in Computer 
Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent, ideally with a strong background
in concurrent and/or parallel programming and programming languages. 
Experience with programming in both high- and low-level languages (such as 
Haskell and C, respectively) is a plus. Knowledge of formal semantics, 
compilers, and computer architecture is desirable.

For further information about the position, please visit the webpage for 
the UpScale project http://upscale-project.eu/, the department 
http://www.it.uu.se/ or contact Prof. Dave Clarke, and Prof. Tobias Wrigstad 
through uu at upscale-project.eu.

Candidates should preferably be able to start no later than September 1, 2014.

Submit your application no later than July 1, 2014, via the following page:

 4th International Symposium on Model-Based Safety Assessment

 Munich, Germany, October 27-29, 2014
 Web: http://www.imbsa.org
Mail: info at imbsa.org
--------------------------------------------------------------------

After previous editions in Toulouse (2011), Bordeaux (2012), and Versailles (2013), the 4th International Symposium on Model-Based Safety and Assessment (IMBSA 2014) will be held in Munich, Germany.
This forum aims at bringing together engineers, software specialists and researchers working on all aspects of model-based safety assessment.

The goal of IMBSA is to provide a forum, where brand new ideas from academia, leading edge technology and industrial experiences are brought together. The objectives are to present experiences and tools, to share ideas, and to consolidate the community. We solicit contributions concerning any domain of safety critical application using model-based methods. This includes, but is not limited to:

*             System Dependability Modeling and Assessment
*             Domain Specific Modeling Formalisms (AltaRica, ...)
*             Model-Driven Engineering Methodologies
*             System Architecture and Optimization
*             System Engineering Modeling Tools with Safety Assessment (SysML...)
*             Case Studies and Practical Experiences
*             Traceability of (Safety)-Requirements
*             Specification of Safety Requirements and Patterns
*             Certification and Standardization of and with Model-Based Methods
*             Integration in Interdisciplinary Processes

*------------------------------------------------------------------*
THE IMBSA APPROACH
*------------------------------------------------------------------*
IMBSA is looking back at a rich tradition of successfully combining research with a high number of industrial contributions. It shows that bridging the gap between basic research and industrial practice can be done effectively through interactive presentation of tools and methods. To take this into account, the conference will - in contrast to solely scientific events - be split into three main parts:

  * a scientific part, where newest findings are presented by renown scientists (DAY 1)
  * a tools and tutorials parts, in which consolidated research achievements are interactively demonstrated (DAY 2)
  * and one part reporting on experiences and hot challenges in industrial practice of safety critical systems (DAY 3)

This way, participants from the industry learn about new tools and techniques, while research groups and spin-off companies can present their achievements to an interested audience. Also industrial contributors and young spin-offs can convince future customers of their tools in this mixed environment. We believe, that this mixture of conventional talks about newest achievements, presentation of practical experiences and interactive learning allows for fruitful discussions, exchange of information as well as future cooperation.

*------------------------------------------------------------------*
SUBMISSION DETAILS
*------------------------------------------------------------------*
For each academic and industrial submission, an abstract should be submitted by May 31th, 2014, using the EasyChair website (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imbsa2014). Academic papers should not exceed 14 pages. Industrial experiences reports may either be submitted as short papers (8 pages) or full papers (14 pages). Both forms of submission have to comply with the LNCS style format and be handed in by 15th of June. For tutorials and tool demonstration, extended abstracts (2 pages) are sufficient but full length papers may also be accepted. All papers will be subject to a full review.

All accepted papers will be published as an Springer LNCS proceedings. The proceedings are planned as pre-conference proceedings and the printed books should be available at the conference day (final approval pending). To be considered for the proceedings, at least one author of each paper has to participate at the conference. Scientific and industrial experience will be presented at the conference in oral form. Tools and tutorials will be presented in special slots (within the main program) and may be presented in an interactive manner.

CFP: AGERE! @ SPLASH 2014 - http://soft.vub.ac.be/AGERE14

4th Int. SIGPLAN Workshop on Programming based on  Actors, Agents,
and Decentralized Control

Held at SPLASH Conference http://splashcon.org/2014/
Portland, Oregon (US) - October 20/21, 2014

=====  Introduction  =====

The fundamental turn of software into concurrency and distribution
is not only a matter of performance, but also of design and abstraction.
It calls for programming paradigms that, compared to current mainstream
paradigms, would allow us to more naturally think about, design, develop,
execute, debug, and profile systems exhibiting different degrees of
concurrency, autonomy, decentralization of control, and physical distribution.  

AGERE! is an ACM SIGPLAN workshop dedicated to focusing on and developing the
research  on programming systems, languages and applications based on actors,
agents and any related programming paradigm promoting a decentralized mindset
in solving problems and in developing systems to implement such solutions.  

The workshop is designed to cover both the theory and the practice of design
and programming, bringing together researchers working on the models,
languages and  technologies, and practitioners developing real-world systems
and applications.   
      
More info about the specific topics can be found on the AGERE! 2014 website. 
       
===== Contributions =====

The workshop welcomes three main kinds of contributions:

(1) mature contributions, to be published on the ACM Digital Library as an official 
    ACM SIGPLAN publication;

(2) position papers and work-in-progress contributions, to be discussed during the 
    event and included in the informal proceedings;

(3) demos, that will be presented and discussed during the event.

Info about the format and the page limits can be found on the AGERE! 2014 website 
(http://soft.vub.ac.be/AGERE14)

===== Special Issue =====

A special issue on a reference journal [*] will be organized with the extended and 
revised version of the best papers accepted and presented to the workshop. 
This special issue follows a previous one published in Science of Computer Programming, 
collecting best papers from AGERE! 2011 and 2012.

[*] Contacts are ongoing: targets include ?Computer Languages, Systems and Structures?

Subject: [TYPES/announce] HART 2014 - Second Workshop on Haskell And
 Rewriting Techniques (co-located with ICFP 2014)
Message-ID: <53A027BE.6090309@informatik.uni-bonn.de>


                       2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
   Second Workshop on Haskell And Rewriting Techniques (HART 2014)
           http://www.program-transformation.org/HART14/

To be held on September 5, co-located with ICFP, the Haskell Symposium, 
etc., in Gothenburg.

Haskell is an advanced purely-functional programming language. Pure 
functional programming is programming with equations, often defined by 
pattern-matching. Rewriting is the science of replacing equals by equals 
and thus a very powerful method for dealing with equations, often 
constructor-based. There are strong connections between Haskell (or 
generally, pure functional) programming and rewriting. The purpose of 
the HART workshop is to foster those connections.

In addition to an invited talk by Oleg Kiselyov, we plan a half day of 
discussions, in an informal setting, on how Haskell (and related 
languages) and rewriting techniques and theories can cross-fertilize 
each other.

Topics of interest are, for example:
====================================

- equational reasoning and other rewriting techniques for program 
verification and analysis;
- lambda calculi and type systems for functional programs and 
higher-order rewrite systems;
- rewriting of type expressions in the type checker;
- rewriting of programs by refactoring tools, optimizers, code generators;
- execution of programs as a form of graph rewriting (terms with sharing);
- Template Haskell, generally introducing a rewriting-like macro 
language into the compilation process.

This list of topics is non-exclusive. If you have a contribution that 
connects Haskell and rewriting, then submit. Also, the workshop is 
deliberately open for discussion of rewriting-related aspects of 
languages like Agda, Clean, ...

When in doubt, please contact a member of the PC (see below).

Dates:
======

July 2: deadline for submissions
July 21: notification of acceptance
September 5: workshop

Submission and proceedings:
===========================

We solicit two types of submissions:

- Extended abstracts. Presenting original research, and also preliminary 
reports of work in progress. Will be included in the proceedings.

- Presentation-only papers. Describing work recently published or 
submitted. Only abstract will be included in the proceedings.

Papers should be at most 5 pages in length, and should use the 
easychair.cls style. Submission is electronically at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hart2014

In line with the informal style of the workshop, the reviewing of 
submissions will be light.

Proceedings will be made available electronically.

14th Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 Workshop

http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014

24-26th September, 2014

University of Twente, Netherlands

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

Call for Papers

The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 is
to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members
of the international research community on tools and techniques for
the verification of critical systems. The subject is to be interpreted
broadly and inclusively. It covers all aspects of automated
verification, including model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint solving, abstract interpretation, and refinement pertaining
to various types of critical systems which need to meet stringent
dependability requirements (safety-critical, business-critical,
performance-critical, etc.). Contributions that describe different
techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged. The technical
programme will consist of invited and contributed talks and also allow
for short presentations of research ideas. The workshop will be
relatively informal, with an emphasis on discussion.

AVoCS topics include (but are not limited to)

     Model Checking
     Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving
     SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification
     Abstract Interpretation
     Specification and Refinement
     Requirements Capture and Analysis
     Verification of Software and Hardware
     Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
     Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems
     Dependable Systems
     Verified System Development
     Industrial Applications

Thanks to Formal Methods Europe (http://www.fmeurope.org/), we offer a
financial support for students registering for AVoCS in the form of a
registration fee waiver (full or partial). Because our financial support
is limited, we ask the students that would like to take the advantage of
this support to submit a short application. The details on how to apply
can be found on the AVoCS 2014 webpage (http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014).

AVoCS 2014 is coorganised and colocated with SPES_XT Summer School
on Model-based design and analysis of cyber-physical systems:

http://spes2020.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/summerschool2014.html

A registration reduction is going to be offered for participants
attending both events.

The workshop will have three invited speakers:

   Laura Kovacs (Chalmers, Sweden) will speak about automated assertion
     generation.
   Alastair Donaldson (Imperial College, U.K.) will speak about 
verification
     of OpenCL kernels.
   Guy Broadfoot (U.K.) will speak about fighting the battle to get 
industry
     to adopt formal based tools.

Important Dates

   Submission (abstract for full paper): 23rd June 2014 (Extended)
   Submission (full papers): 30th June 2014 (Extended)
   Notification (full papers): 30th July 2014

   Submission (research ideas): 7th August 2014
   Notification (research ideas): 14th August 2014

   Submission of final versions: 1st September 2014

   Student grant application: 14th August 2014
   Early registration: 1st September 2014

   Workshop: 24-26th September 2014 (2.5 days, ends 26th lunchtime)

Submission Details

Full Papers: Submissions of full papers to the workshop must not have
been published or be concurrently considered for publication
elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on the
basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and
presentation quality, and relevance to the workshop. Final versions of
the papers must be written in English and not exceed 15 pages. For
the initial submission you can use any format since the pre-proceedings
will be a technical report. However, we suggest that you use the EASST
template (see below for details) as this will make it easier later on.

Research ideas: AVoCS'14 encourages the submissions of research ideas
in order to stimulate discussions at the workshop. Reports on ongoing
work or surveys on work published elsewhere are welcome. The Programme
Committee will select research ideas on the basis of submitted
abstracts according to significance and general interest. Research
ideas must be written in English and not exceed 2 pages.

The AVoCS 2014 Submission Site is available through EasyChair at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=avocs2014

Conference Proceedings & Special Journal Issue

At the workshop, pre-proceedings will be available in the form of a
University of Twente Technical Report; this report will also include
the research ideas.

After the workshop, the authors of accepted full papers will have
about one month in order to revise their papers for publication in the
workshop post-proceedings which will appear in the Electronic
Communications of the EASST Open Access Journal. Research ideas will
not be part of the proceedings in the Open Access Journal.

EASST Submission Format

There is a dedicated AVoCS 2014 EASST template, please go to EASST
template repository at http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/template/
and look for the AVoCS 2014 entry - this contains the LaTeX and Word
templates that you will need for the conference post-proceedings.

We will invite authors of a selection of the best papers presented at
the workshop to submit extended versions of their work for publication
in a special issue of Elsevier's journal Science of Computer Programming.

Message-ID: <77289A9C4D369548BC8509D082245E0195F79BF5@EXDB6.ug.kth.se>

KTH the School of Computer Science and Communication (KTH CSC) invites
applications for a PhD position in verification of low-level
software.

We are seeking a PhD student in computer science with specialization
in software security to join the PROSPER project on provably secure
execution platforms for embedded systems. The objective of the project
is to build and verify low-level virtualization solutions. 
To realize this we work with formal verification
tools (theorem provers, low level program analysis tools), we build
hardware models, we develop the virtualization platforms and integrate
them with existing operating systems (Linux), and we apply the provers
and tools to high performance code at assembly or C level. The
specific role of the PhD student we are looking forward here is to be
determined, but will likely involve theory and tool development for
multicore processors. 

The successful candidate is expected to have a strong
foundational background in computer science (program logics and
program verification, machine architecture, operating systems,
programming) and mathematics (areas such as discrete mathematics,
formal logic). 

Application deadline: July, 6, 2014
Start date: September 2014

Details of the application procedure can be found on our website at:
http://www.kth.se/en/om/work-at-kth/vacancies/ph-d-student-in-verification-of-low-level-software-1.481486

For individual questions, the interested candidate is welcome to
contact Mads Dam (mfd at kth.se) or Roberto Guanciale (robertog at kth.se).

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

Building on the success of the fifteenth previous editions (1998-2014), a
special track on coordination models,
languages and applications will be held at SAC 2015. Over the last decade,
we have witnessed the emergence of models,
formalisms and mechanisms to describe concurrent and distributed
computations and systems based on the concept of
coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to enable the
integration of a number of possibly heterogeneous
components (processes, objects, agents, services) in such a way that the
resulting ensemble can execute as a whole,
forming a distributed software system with desired characteristics and
functionalities. This is done in terms of
coordination abstractions, languages, algorithms, mechanisms, and
middleware specifically focused on the management
of component interaction.

The coordination paradigm crosscuts a number of contemporary software
engineering approaches and fields, which we
aim to cross-fertilize and bring contribution to, including in particular:
multi-agent systems, self-adaptative and
self-organising systems, service-oriented architectures, component-based
systems, and all related middleware
platforms.

The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications takes
a deliberately broad view of what
constitutes coordination. Accordingly, major topics of interest this year
will include:

- Novel models, languages, formalisms, programming and implementation
techniques
- Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures
- Applications
- Middleware platforms
- Formal aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification)
- Software architectures and software engineering techniques
- Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile agents, intelligent
agents, and agent-based
  simulations
- Internet, Web, and pervasive computing systems coordination
- Languages for service description and composition
- Models, frameworks and tools for Group Decision Making
- All aspects related to Cooperative Information Systems (e.g. workflow
management, CSCW)
- Configuration and Architecture Description Languages
- Self-organising, self-adaptive and nature-inspired coordination approaches
- Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented,
declarative (functional, logic,
  constraint) programming or their extensions with coordination capabilities
- Coordination models and specification in Service-Oriented Architectures,
Web Service technologies
  (orchestration, choreography, etc),Pervasive Computing and Autonomic
Computing
- Policy-based approaches to coordination and self-adaptation

We also welcome papers on practical systems or novel applications that are
aimed at reaching coordination between
components and services, especially if those systems and novel applications
challenge existing ideas and models.

In previous editions, CM Special Track organisers have been inviting
authors of selected papers for special issues
in high impact journals, such as, ACM Transactions on Autonomous and
Adaptive Systems (TAAS) and Science of Computer
Programming (SCP).

                        Call for papers ESSoS

   International Symposium on Engineering Secure Software and Systems
                                (ESSoS)

                    March 4 - 6, 2015, Milan, Italy
   https://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/essos/2015/calls-papers.html

In cooperation with: (pending) ACM SIGSAC and SIGSOFT and IEEE CS (TCSP)


CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION

Trustworthy, secure software is a core ingredient of the modern world.
So is the Internet. Hostile, networked environments, like the Internet,
can allow vulnerabilities in software to be exploited from anywhere. To
address this, high-quality security building blocks (e.g.,
cryptographic components) are necessary, but insufficient. Indeed, the
construction of secure software is challenging because of the
complexity of modern applications, the growing sophistication of
security requirements, the multitude of available software technologies
and the progress of attack vectors. Clearly, a strong need exists for
engineering techniques that scale well and that demonstrably improve
the software's security properties.


GOAL AND SETUP

The goal of this symposium, which will be the sixth in the series, is
to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the states
of the art and practice in secure software engineering. Being one of
the few conference-level events dedicated to this topic, it explicitly
aims to bridge the software engineering and security engineering
communities, and promote cross-fertilization. The symposium will
feature two days of technical program. In addition to academic papers,
the symposium encourages submission of high-quality, informative
industrial experience papers about successes and failures in security
software engineering and the lessons learned. Furthermore, the
symposium also accepts short idea papers that crisply describe a
promising direction, approach, or insight.


TOPICS

Paper submissions are solicited in all areas relating to secure
software and secure systems research, including but not limited to:

 - Cloud security, virtualization for security
 - Mobile devices security
 - Automated techniques for vulnerability discovery and analysis
 - Model checking for security
 - Binary code analysis, reverse-engineering
 - Programming paradigms, models, and domain-specific languages for
security
 - Operating system security
 - Verification techniques for security properties
 - Malware: detection, analysis, mitigation
 - Security in critical infrastructures
 - Security economics
 - Security by design
 - Static and dynamic code analysis for security
 - Web applications security
 - Program rewriting techniques for security
 - Security measurements
 - Empirical secure software engineering
 - Security-oriented software reconfiguration and evolution
 - Computer forensics
 - Processes for the development of secure software and systems
 - Human-computer interaction for security
 - Security testing
 - Embedded software security


IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission: September 8, 2014	
Paper submission: September 15, 2014
Author notification: November 17, 2014
Camera-ready: December 7, 2014


SUBMISSION AND FORMAT

The proceedings of the symposium are published by Springer-Verlag in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series
(http://www.springer.com/lncs). Submissions should follow the
formatting instructions of Springer LNCS. Submitted papers must present
original, non-published work of high quality.

For selected papers, there will be an invitation to submit extended
versions to a special issue in the International Journal of Information
Security.

Two types of papers will be accepted:
 - FULL PAPERS (max 14 pages without bibliography/appendices) - May
describe original technical research with a solid foundation, such as
formal analysis or experimental results, with acceptance determined
mostly based on novelty and validation. Or, may describe case studies
applying existing techniques or analysis methods in industrial
settings, with acceptance determined mostly by the general
applicability of techniques and the completeness of the technical
presentation details.

 - IDEA PAPERS (max 8 pages with bibliography) - May crisply describe a
novel idea that is both feasible and interesting, where the idea may
range from a variant of an existing technique all the way to a vision
for the future of security technology. Idea papers allow authors to
introduce ideas to the field and get feedback, while allowing for later
publication of complete, fully-developed results. Submissions will be
judged primarily on novelty, excitement, and exposition, but
feasibility is required, and acceptance will be unlikely without some
basic, principled validation (e.g., extrapolation from limited
experiments or simple formal analysis). In the proceedings, idea papers
will clearly identified by means of the "Idea" tag in the title.

Second Workshop on Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation (DSLDI)
http://2014.splashcon.org/track/dsldi-2014

- Deadlines: submission and notification
Submission of talk proposals: August 27, 2014
Notification: September 12, 2014

Organizers:
Sebastian Erdweg, TU Darmstadt
Adam Welc, Oracle Labs

- Abstract
If designed and implemented well, domain-specific languages (DSLs) combine the
best features of general-purpose programming languages (e.g., performance) with
high productivity (e.g., ease of programming). The goal of the DSLDI workshop
is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in sharing ideas
on how DSLs should be designed, implemented, supported by tools, and applied in
realistic application contexts. We are both interested in discovering how
already known domains such as graph processing or machine learning can be best
supported by DSLs, but also in exploring new domains that could be targeted by
DSLs. More generally, we are interested in building a community that can drive
forward the development of modern DSLs.

We solicit talk proposals in the form of short abstracts (max. 2 pages). A good
talk proposal describes an interesting position, demonstration, or early
achievement. The submissions will be reviewed on relevance and clarity, and used
to plan the mostly interactive sessions of the workshop day. Publication of
accepted abstracts and slides on the website is voluntary.

- Deadlines: submission and notification
Initial submission: August 15, 2014
Author Notification: September 12, 2014

- Names and affiliations of organizers
Jonathan Sprinkle, University of Arizona
Matti Rossi, Aalto University School of Business
Jeff Gray, University of Alabama
Juha-Pekka Tolvanen, MetaCase

- Abstract
An upward shift in abstraction leads to a corresponding increase in
productivity. In the past this has occurred when programming languages have
evolved towards a higher level of abstraction. Today, domain-specific
modeling languages provide a viable solution for continuing to raise the
level of abstraction beyond coding, making development faster and easier. In
domain-specific modeling (DSM) the models are constructed using concepts that
represent things in the application domain, not concepts of a given
programming language. The modeling language follows the domain abstractions
and semantics, allowing developers to perceive them-selves as working
directly with domain concepts. Together with frameworks and platforms, DSM
can automate a large portion of software production. Some possible topics for
submission to the workshop include:
- Industry/academic experience reports
- Creation of metamodel-based languages
- Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific models
- Evolution of languages 
- Metamodeling frameworks and languages
- Tools for supporting DSMs

- Abstract:
Mobile application usage and development is experiencing exponential growth. According to Gartner, by 2016 more than 300 billion applications will be downloaded annually. The mobile domain presents new challenges to software engineering. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing, including diverse capabilities as GPS, sensors, and input modes. Applications must be omni-channel and work on all platforms. Activated on mobile platforms, modern applications must be elastic and scale on demand according to the hardware abilities. Applications often need to support and use third-party services. Therefore, during development, security and authorization processes for the dataflow must be applied. Bring your own device (BYOD) 
policies bring new security data leaks challenges. Developing such applications requires suitable practices and tools e.g., architecture techniques that relate to the complexity at hand; improved refactoring tools for hybrid applications using dynamic languages and polyglot development and applications; and testing techniques for applications that run on different devices. This workshop aims at establishing a community of researchers and practitioners to share their work and lead further research in the mobile development area.

Notification: Aug 22, 2014

- Organizers
Thomas LaToza (University of California, Irvine)
Josh Sunshine (Carnegie Mellon University)
Craig Anslow (University of Calgary)

-Abstract
Programming languages exist to enable programmers to develop software
effectively. But how efficiently programmers can write software
depends on the usability of the languages and tools that they develop
with. The aim of this workshop is to discuss methods, metrics and
techniques for evaluating the usability of languages and language
tools. PLATEAU encourages submissions of three types of papers.
Research papers (up to 8 pages) and position papers (up to 2 pages)
report on work or ideas related to the workshop themes. New this year
are hypotheses papers (up to 4 pages). Hypotheses papers explicitly
identify beliefs of the research community or software industry about
how a programming language, programming language feature, or
programming language tool affects programming practice.

- Abstract:
The development of secure software requires the specification and communication of functional and nonfunctional security and privacy requirements, the utilization of secure and privacy-preserving programming language constructs and the application of secure and privacy-preserving coding best practices. Currently, firms focused on developing code that is both secure and privacy-preserving will employ at most two of these techniques. Unfortunately, this leads to software with the appearance of being safe (i.e. secure and privacy-preserving code), but that offers very little real protection. You can have a secure design, but if there are no supporting language constructs then the systems won?t be safe. If the programmer does not know the secure coding principles and is unaware of privacy engineering methodology, then the resulting software will not be safe. Additionally, privacy engineering is a relatively new area and researchers are trying to determine how to characterize privacy requirements.

The specification of these requirements is an inter-disciplinary undertaking; involving experts in law, business, and computer science.

By getting experts in security, privacy, requirements engineering, programming languages, formal methods, privacy engineering and secure coding into the same space, it is hoped that the community can bridge the gap between the design and the implementation of safe code.

This workshop seeks to enable the development of safe software systems by getting the people of these currently isolated fields to start talking, working together and addressing this very difficult issue.

- Abstract:
Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely
related programming styles that are becoming ever more important with
the advent of advanced HPC technology and the ever increasing
requirement for our applications to run on the web or on collaborating
mobile devices. A number of publications on middleware and language
design ? so-called reactive and event-based languages and systems
(REBLS) ? have already seen the light, but the field still raises
several questions. For example, the interaction with mainstream
language concepts is poorly understood, implementation technology is
in its infancy and modularity mechanisms are almost totally lacking.
Moreover, large applications are still to be developed and patterns
and tools for developing reactive applications is an area that is
vastly unexplored.
This workshop will gather researchers in reactive and event-based
languages and systems. The goal of the workshop is to exchange new
technical research results and to define better the field by coming up
with taxonomies and overviews of the existing work. We welcome all
submissions on reactive programming, aspect- and event-oriented
systems, including but not limited to: language design,
implementation, runtime systems, program analysis, software metrics,
patterns and benchmarks.

TD - Workshop on Technical Debt
Technical Debt in a World of Big Data and Big Teams
http://manclswx.com/workshops/splash14

-Deadlines:
Submission deadline is August 26, 2014.

-Organizers:
Dennis Mancl, Alcatel-Lucent
Bill Opdyke, JPMorgan Chase
Steve Fraser, independent

-Abstract:
Technical debt is an unavoidable part of software development in today's fast-paced market, but it is ignored by many of the people who should care about it most.

In large systems, a portion of the accumulating technical debt is just "sloppy design" caused by schedule pressure and other project forces.  But the most important part of technical debt is directly related to project size and data complexity.  How much technical debt is about large development teams and geographical distribution?  How do current "big data" techniques (Hadoop, NoSQL, parallel algorithms, MapReduce) relate to technical debt issues?

This workshop explores strategies for understanding the impact of technical debt. If we believe that technical debt is an important issue in long-term software product development, do we have ways to keep the technical debt from causing development gridlock?  The workshop discusses some approaches to taking on technical debt from systems large and small.

 theory (secure coding) for 36 months
Message-ID: <935e8874aa8ed76e9b9c1a00c1057d9c@imap.ifi.lmu.de>

We are looking for a

Postdoctoral researcher in programming language theory (secure coding) 
for 36 months

to work within the new DFG-sponsored project GuideForce whose goal is
to develop a framework for the rigorous specification of secure coding
guidelines in such a way that their strict observance can be
automatically checked. We plan to use a combination of methods 
including
Buchi automata, type systems, and aspect-oriented programming. See the 
project summary below for more detail.

The successful applicant
should have a solid background in at least one of the following
topics: program analysis, type systems, automata theory, security,
software engineering. Candidates with a very good and topical Master's
degree are also encouraged to apply; in this case it is possible to
base a PhD thesis on the project work.

Duration: up to 36 months

Start date: as soon as possible but not later than October 2014.

Remuneration: German scale 13 TV-L (38k-54k EUR p.a. according to age,
experience, family status)

Principal investigator: Martin Hofmann

Location: The project will be carried out at the Institute for
Informatics of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit?t Munich, Germany.
LMU is an equal opportunities employer.

Applications should be sent by E-Mail to Sigrid Roden
roden at tcs.ifi.lmu.de as a single PDF file containing in particular CV
and the names of two potential referees. There is no
deadline. Applications will be assessed on an on-going basis until the
position is filled.

Questions about the position can be directed to the investigator
mhofmann at tcs.ifi.lmu.de.


Project summary:


Modern software typically must be able to interact with the whole
world. While until recently such worldwide interaction was quite rare
now almost any business software has a web interface allowing anyone
to interact with the software be it only by entering a wrong password.

Since almost anyone writes software exposed to the resulting security
threats, one can no longer rely on high skill and experience of
specialists who were formerly the only having to deal with such
risks. To address this issue programming guidelines and best practices
have been developed, see e.g. www.owasp.org, that summarise and
condense the expert knowledge and make it available to a larger
community (secure coding). Whether or not such programming guidelines
are applied and whether they have been correctly applied, is however
left to the good will of the programmers. In this project we want to
develop automatic methods based on type systems that are capable of
checking that programming guidelines have been correctly and
reasonable applied without compromising the flexibility of writing
code. Besides further developing type system methodology this also
requires us to devise a formalism in which to rigorously define such
policies which typically are given in plain English and by
examples. In order that users will actually trust the system and
perceive it as a useful tool it will be necessary to achieve a rather
high degree of accuracy. For example, if an already sanitized user
input is stored in a string buffer and later on read out it is not
necessary to re-sanitize it. If the system does not recognize such a
situation users will neglect its warnings in the future. Similarly, if
we want to ensure appropriate authorisation prior to accessing
sensitive data then, if such access happens within a method of a class
admitting the invariant that authorization has taken place prior to
creation of any of its objects then the system must be able to
discover this. All this means that cutting edge techniques such as
careful analysis of strings, objects, and control flow,must be
harnessed and further developed in this project. In order to guarantee
appropriate feedback to the user and to achieve seamless integration we 
will use
type-theoretic formulations of these methods resulting then in a
single customizable type system capable of enforcing a large span of
guidelines and best practices for secure web programming.

A running example will be the security threat posed by code injection
where a malicious user inputs strings containing code fragments that
may potentially be executed. Other examples will be provided by
industrial contacts such as SAP Research and from topical WWW portals
such as OWASP and SANS.

The key scientific innovations of the project are the focus on
guidelines rather than risks and the development of a configurable
type system.

For the project "Exploiting Domain Parallelism with Polymorphic
Language Embeddings and Rewritings" (DOPPLER), which is funded by an
Advanced Grant of the European Research Council we are looking for a

   Postdoctoral Researcher

The project explores generative programming in Scala with a focus on
parallelism and high performance. It has been successfully running
since 2011.  The prospective researcher will oversee the final two
years of the project, collaborating closely with research groups in
Stanford, Purdue, ETH Zuerich, and others. She or he will also be
involved in the conception and planning of follow-on projects.

Applicants should be fluent in Scala and have a strong background in
several of the following areas:

    - programming language design and implementation,
    - functional programming,
    - type systems,
    - generative programming.

The ideal candidate will have a lively interest in both system
building and theory. She or he will enjoy the opportunity to work
collaboratively with other researchers and PhD students at the
programming methods group at EPFL.

The appointment is initially for one year, with possible renewals
depending on performance and funding (funding is already secured for
the first two years).

The position is open from Summer or Fall 2014. Compensation is competitive
with an annual salary around CHF 75K, depending on age and experience
(1 CHF ~~ 1.12 US$).

For informal inquiries about the position should be addressed to
martin.odersky at epfl.ch.

Formal applications should be sent by e-mail to

  Danielle Chamberlain

                         Call for Contributions
                ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Implementors' Workshop

     http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellImplementorsWorkshop/2014
                 Gothenburg, Sweden, 06 September, 2014

                     Co-located with ICFP 2014
                http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2014/

Important dates
---------------
Proposal Deadline:  Monday, 14 July, 2014 (anywhere on earth)
Notification:               21 July  2014
Workshop:           Saturday, 6 September 2014

The 6th Haskell Implementors' Workshop is to be held alongside ICFP
2014 this year in Gothenburg. It is a forum for people involved in the
design and development of Haskell implementations, tools, libraries,
and supporting infrastructure, to share their work and discuss future
directions and collaborations with others.

Talks and/or demos are proposed by submitting an abstract, and
selected by a small program committee. There will be no published
proceedings; the workshop will be informal and interactive, with a
flexible timetable and plenty of room for ad-hoc discussion, demos,
and impromptu short talks.

Attendance figures clearly reflect the growth of the Haskell user
community and a constant interest in implementation aspects.

Scope and target audience
-------------------------

It is important to distinguish the Haskell Implementors' Workshop from
the Haskell Symposium which is also co-located with ICFP 2014. The
Haskell Symposium is for the publication of Haskell-related research. In
contrast, the Haskell Implementors' Workshop will have no proceedings --
although we will aim to make talk videos, slides and presented data
available with the consent of the speakers.

In the Haskell Implementors' Workshop, we hope to study the underlying
technology. We want to bring together anyone interested in the
nitty-gritty details behind turning plain-text source code into a
deployed product. Having said that, members of the wider Haskell
community are more than welcome to attend the workshop -- we need your
feedback to keep the Haskell ecosystem thriving.

The scope covers any of the following topics. There may be some topics
that people feel we've missed, so by all means submit a proposal even if
it doesn't fit exactly into one of these buckets:

   * Compilation techniques
   * Language features and extensions
   * Type system implementation
   * Concurrency and parallelism: language design and implementation
   * Performance, optimisation and benchmarking
   * Virtual machines and run-time systems
   * Libraries and tools for development or deployment

Talks
-----

At this stage we would like to invite proposals from potential speakers
for talks and demonstrations. We are aiming for 20 minute talks with 10
minutes for questions and changeovers. We want to hear from people
writing compilers, tools, or libraries, people with cool ideas for
directions in which we should take the platform, proposals for new
features to be implemented, and half-baked crazy ideas. Please submit a
talk title and abstract of no more than 300 words.

Submissions should be made via EasyChair. The website is:
   https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hiw2014

If you don't have an account you can create one here:
   https://www.easychair.org/account/signup.cgi

Because the submission is an abstract only, please click the "abstract
only" button when you make your submission.  There is no need to
attach a separate file.

We will also have a lightning talks session which will be organised on
the day. These talks will be 5-10 minutes, depending on available time.
Suggested topics for lightning talks are to present a single idea, a
work-in-progress project, a problem to intrigue and perplex Haskell
implementors, or simply to ask for feedback and collaborators.

programming, and related areas like databases, artificial intelligence,
and operations research.

In this year both workshops will be jointly organized and co-located, in
order to promote the cross-fertilizing exchange of ideas and experiences
among researchers and students from the different communities interested
in the foundations, applications, and combinations of high-level,
declarative programming languages and related areas. The technical
program of the workshop will include invited talks, presentations of
refereed papers and demo presentations.

The joint workshop will consist of two tracks (WFLP and WLP). Sessions
of these two tracks will be interleaved.

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

Topics

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

     Functional programming
     Logic programming
     Constraint programming
     Deductive databases, data mining
     Extensions of declarative languages, objects
     Multi-paradigm declarative programming
     Foundations, semantics, nonmonotonic reasoning, dynamics
     Parallelism, concurrency
     Program analysis, abstract interpretation
     Program transformation, partial evaluation, meta-programming
     Specification, verification, declarative debugging
     Knowledge representation, machine learning
     Interaction of declarative programming with other formalisms (e.g., 
agents, XML, Java)
     Implementation of declarative languages
     Advanced programming environments and tools
     Software technique for declarative programming
     Applications

The primary focus is on new and original research results but

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.

la preuve formelle, et des objets math?matiques qui sous-tendent ces
outils. Ces domaines doivent ?tre pris au sens large : nous souhaitons
promouvoir les ponts entre les diff?rentes th?matiques. 

. Langages fonctionnels et applicatifs : s?mantique, compilation,
  optimisation, typage, mesures, extensions par d'autres paradigmes.

. Assistants de preuve : impl?mentation, nouvelles tactiques,
  d?veloppements pr?sentant un int?r?t technique ou m?thodologique.

. Logique, correspondance de Curry-Howard, r?alisabilit?, extraction
  de programmes, mod?les.

. Sp?cification, prototypage, d?veloppements formels d'algorithmes.

. Utilisation industrielle des langages fonctionnels et applicatifs,
  ou des m?thodes issues des preuves formelles, outils pour le web.

Les articles soumis aux JFLA sont relus par au moins deux personnes
s'ils sont accept?s, trois personnes s'ils sont rejet?s. Les critiques
des relecteurs sont toujours bienveillantes et la plupart du temps
encourageantes et constructives, m?me en cas de rejet.

Il n'y a donc pas de raison de ne pas soumettre aux JFLA !

                             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.

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 have one program committee, one program, and one
proceedings.

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 21 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:

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
ISR 2014
7th International School on Rewriting

http://isr2014.inf.utfsm.cl

August 25-29, 2014
Universidad T?cnica Feder?co Santa Mar?a
Valpara?so, Chile

Co-located with the 21st Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation (WoLLIC 2014)
http://web.ing.puc.cl/~wollic

Rewriting is a branch of computer science whose origins go back
to the origins of computer science itself (with Thue, Church,
Post, and many other prominent researchers). It has strong links
with mathematics, algebra, and logic, and it is the basis of
well-known programming paradigms like functional and equational
programming, which are taught at the universitary level in many
countries. In these programming paradigms and corresponding
languages, the notions of reduction, pattern matching,
confluence, termination, strategy, etc., are essential.
Rewriting provides a solid framework for understanding, using,
and teaching all these notions. Rewriting techniques are also
used in many other areas of software engineering (scripting,
prototyping, automated transformation of legacy systems,
refactoring, web services, etc.) and are implemented in popular
systems like Mathematica, Autocad, and others. Rewriting
techniques play a relevant role in computing research,
education, and industry.

The International School on Rewriting is promoted by the IFIP
Working Group 1.6 Term Rewriting. The school is aimed at master
and PhD students, researchers, and practitioners interested in
the study of rewriting concepts and their applications.

Two tracks are offered, including the lectures and the courses:

- Track A: for newcomers in the field, or just for people
who want to obtain a new, updated exposure.

- Track B: for those who want to get deeper in the most
recent developments and applications of rewriting.

     Young Researchers Workshop on Concurrency Theory
              (satellite workshop of CONCUR 2014)

                         September 1, 2014
                              Rome, Italy

                http://cimini.info/yr-concur2014/

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

Aims and objectives:
This workshop aims at providing a platform for PhD students and young researchers who recently completed their doctoral studies, to exchange new results related to concurrency theory and receive feedback on their research. Focus is on informal discussions. Excellent master students working on concurrency theory are also encouraged to contribute.

Format:
YR-CONCUR 2014 is a satellite workshop of CONCUR 2014 and will be held on Monday, September 1st, 2014. It is anticipated that many CONCUR participants will attend the YR-workshop (and vice versa). Presentations are selected on the basis of an abstract of up to 4 pages (incl. references) describing the research. No particular format is required. Submissions are judged on the expected interest in and quality of the talk. The accepted abstracts will be made available at the workshop, but no formal proceedings are planned. It is thus also allowed (and encouraged) to send results that have been published at other conferences (although preferably not at CONCUR 2014 or any of its other satellite workshops).

Important Dates:
- Deadline for 4-page abstracts: July 8, 2014
- Notification of acceptance: July 23, 2014
- Final version: August 6, 2014
- Workshop: September 1, 2014

(Apologies for duplicates)

                            CALL FOR PAPERS
        14th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling
                Applications and Case Studies (OCL 2014)

        Co-located with ACM/IEEE 17th International Conference on
       Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2014)
                September 28-30 (tbc), 2014, VALENCIA, SPAIN
                http://www.software.imdea.org/OCL2014/

Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical
notation. Such visual representations enable direct intuitive
capturing of reality, but some of their features are difficult to
formalize and lack the level of precision required to create complete
and unambiguous specifications. Limitations of the graphical notations
encouraged the development of text-based modeling languages that
either integrate with or replace graphical notations for
modeling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF,
Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots in
formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases.

The goal of this workshop is create a forum where researchers and
practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds
of textual languages can directly interact, report advances, share
results, identify tools for language development, and discuss
appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage
discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language
concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable
researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options
for potential cooperation.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
===================================================
- Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms
- Algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations in the context
  of textual modeling languages for
  -- validation, verification, and testing,
  -- model transformation and code generation,
  -- metamodeling and DSLs, and
  -- query and constraint specifications
- Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modeling languages
- Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modeling expressions 
- Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modeling languages
- Complexity results for textual modeling languages
- Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating
  textual modeling tools and algorithms
- Successful applications of textual modeling languages
- Case studies on industrial applications of textual modeling languages
- Experience reports
  -- usage of textual modeling languages and tools in complex domains,
  -- usability of textual modeling languages and  tools for end-users
- Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modeling 
  languages
- Innovative textual modeling tools
- Comparison, evaluation and integration of modeling languages
- Correlation between modeling languages and modeling tasks

This year, we particularly encourage submissions describing
applications and case studies of textual modeling as well as test
suites and benchmark collections for evaluating textual modeling
tools.

Venue
=====
The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS 2014 Conference in
Valencia, Spain. It continues the series of OCL workshops held at
UML/MODELS conferences: York (2000), Toronto (2001), San Francisco
(2003), Lisbon (2004), Montego Bay (2005), Genova (2006), Nashville
(2007), Toulouse (2008), Denver (2009), Oslo (2010), Zurich (2011, at
the TOOLs conference), 2012 in Innsbruck, and 2013 in Miami.  Similar
to its predecessors, the workshop addresses both people from academia
and industry. The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration
of OCL and other textual modeling languages, as well as tools for
textual modeling, and for disseminating good practice and discussing
the new requirements for textual modeling.

Workshop Format
===============
The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel
sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions.

Submissions

3rd INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON EXTREME MODELING - XM 2014
Co-located with MoDELS 2014

September 29th, 2014 - Valencia, Spain
http://www.di.univaq.it/XM2014

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

Increasingly, models are starting to become commonplace and Model Driven
Engineering is gaining acceptance in many domains, including
Automotive, Software Engineering, Business applications and financial
organizations, Defense / aerodynamics / avionic systems, and the
Telecommunications domain. Raising the level of abstraction and using
concepts closer to the problem and application domain rather than the
solution and technical domain, requires models to be written with a
certain agility. This is partly in contrast with MDE whose conformance
relation is analogous to a very strong and static typing system in a
current programming language. For instance EMF does not permit to enter
models which are not conforming to a metamodel: on one hand it allows
only valid models to be defined, on the other hand it makes the
corresponding pragmatics more difficult. In this respect, there is a
wide range of equally useful artefacts between the following extremes

- diagrams informally sketched on paper with a pencil
- models entered in a given format into a generic modeling platform,
e.g., Ecore/EMF

At the moment, MDE encompasses only the latter possibility, while
depending on the stage of the process it makes sense to start with
something closer to the former to eventually end up with 2. For
instance, this might require different notions of conformance and the
possibility to even have a method for user-defined conformance relations
depending on the scope. In other words, we are interested in exploring
the possibility to relax the typing constraints - intended in the
broadest sense - in the current platforms and pursue different forms of
agility in terms of both artefacts (the way they are conform-ing to
metamodels) and processes (the way they are created and whose subsequent
versions linked together in a consistent and uniform framework).

TOPICS
======
The topics solicited include but are not limited to:

- Support for functional, generic, constraint or dynamic programming
techniques in MDE
- Agility and MDE, agile modeling
- Techniques for embedding domain specific languages in a combined language
- Means for defining different conformance/typing concepts in MDE
- Relating conformance and level of abstraction
- Model typing, methods for flexible typing in MDE
- Meta-modeling by example
- Model sketching
- Integrating modeling and programming
- Experience reports regarding agility in MDE

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
=====================

Two kind of papers are solicited: long (10 pages max.) and short (5 pages
max.),
adhering to Springer LNCS style.

Accepted papers will be published as CEUR workshop proceedings, and indexed
in
DBLP. We will consider having a special issue on the topic on a major
journal
with an extension of the best accepted papers.

Papers should be submitted through Easychair:

ACM SIGPLAN 2015 WORKSHOP ON PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION
Tue-Wed, January 13-14, 2015, Mumbai, India, co-located with POPL'15

http://conf.researchr.org/home/pepm2015

Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

SCOPE

The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims at bringing together
researchers and practitioners working in the areas of program
manipulation, partial evaluation, and program generation.  PEPM
focuses on techniques, theory, tools, and applications of analysis
and manipulation of programs.

The 2015 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad interpretation of
semantics-based program manipulation and continue last years'
successful effort to expand the scope of PEPM significantly beyond the
traditionally covered areas of partial evaluation and specialization
and include practical applications of program transformations such as
refactoring tools, and practical implementation techniques such as
rule-based transformation systems.  In addition, the scope of PEPM
covers manipulation and transformations of program and system
representations such as structural and semantic models that occur in
the context of model-driven development.  In order to reach out to
practitioners, a separate category of tool demonstration papers will
be solicited.

Topics of interest for PEPM'15 include, but are not limited to:

* Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation,
  partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active
  libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic execution,
  refactoring, decompilation, and obfuscation.

* Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model
  manipulation  such as: abstract interpretation, termination
  checking, binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems,
  automated testing and test case generation.

* Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including
  metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific
  languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming,
  staged computation, and model-driven program generation and
  transformation.

* Application of the above techniques including case studies of
  program manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source)
  projects and software development processes, descriptions of robust
  tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications,
  benchmarking.  Examples of application domains include legacy
  program understanding and transformation, DSL implementations,
  visual languages and end-user programming, scientific computing,
  middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed and
  web-based applications, resource-limited computation, and security.

To maintain the dynamic and interactive nature of PEPM, we will
continue the category of `short papers' for tool demonstrations and
for presentations of exciting if not fully polished research, and of
interesting academic, industrial and open-source applications that are
new or unfamiliar.

Student attendants with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC
grant to help cover travel expenses and other support. 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.

All accepted papers, short papers included, will appear in formal
proceedings published by ACM Press.  Accepted papers will be included
in the ACM Digital Library.  Following the practice of recent PEPMs,
we are planning a special issue of a journal for a selection of papers
presented at the PEPM'15 workshop.

PEPM has also established a Best Paper award.  The winner will be
announced at the workshop.

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES AND GUIDELINES

Regular Research Papers must not exceed 12 pages in ACM Proceedings
style (including appendix).  Tool demonstration papers and short papers
must not exceed 6 pages in ACM Proceedings style (including appendix).
At least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the
workshop and present the work.  In the case of tool demonstration
papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected.
Suggested topics, evaluation criteria, and writing guidelines for both
research tool demonstration papers will be made available on the
PEPM'15 Web-site soon.  Papers should be submitted electronically via
the workshop web site.

Authors using LaTeX to prepare their submissions should use the new
improved SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls, 9pt template).

* 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. Selected papers from SBMF?11 were published in volume 92, Part B, of Science of Computer Programming (SCP). A special issue of SCP with selected papers from SBMF?12 and SBMF?13 is 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.

integrating formal methods and tools for modeling, design, verification
and validation into design- and development processes and environments.

  - To explore some hot issues in supporting tool for service-oriented
computing, specification generation, loop invariant generation, code
generation, test-case generation.

  - Case studies and experience reports about harnessing static analysis
tools such as model checking, theorem proving, testing, as well as
runtime monitoring.

The workshop will provide enough time for discussion on problems and
research. Each presentation will be 25 minutes followed by 10 minutes
discussion. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following areas:

  - Models, calculi, and tool support for component-based
      and object-oriented software;
  - Mathematical frameworks, methods and tools for
      model-driven development;
  - Models, calculi, and tool support for integrating different
      scheduling, interaction and concurrency models in highly
      adaptable systems
  - Theory, methods and tools support for service construct,
      services composition, specification generation, loop invariant
      generation, code generation and test-case generation.

                            CALL FOR PAPERS
        14th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling
                Applications and Case Studies (OCL 2014)

        Co-located with ACM/IEEE 17th International Conference on
       Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2014)
                September 30, 2014, VALENCIA, SPAIN
                http://www.software.imdea.org/OCL2014/

Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical
notation. Such visual representations enable direct intuitive
capturing of reality, but some of their features are difficult to
formalize and lack the level of precision required to create complete
and unambiguous specifications. Limitations of the graphical notations
encouraged the development of text-based modeling languages that
either integrate with or replace graphical notations for
modeling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF,
Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots in
formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases.

The goal of this workshop is create a forum where researchers and
practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds
of textual languages can directly interact, report advances, share
results, identify tools for language development, and discuss
appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage
discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language
concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable
researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options
for potential cooperation.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
===================================================
- Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms
- Algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations in the context
  of textual modeling languages for
  -- validation, verification, and testing,
  -- model transformation and code generation,
  -- metamodeling and DSLs, and
  -- query and constraint specifications
- Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modeling languages
- Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modeling expressions 
- Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modeling languages
- Complexity results for textual modeling languages
- Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating
  textual modeling tools and algorithms
- Successful applications of textual modeling languages
- Case studies on industrial applications of textual modeling languages
- Experience reports
  -- usage of textual modeling languages and tools in complex domains,
  -- usability of textual modeling languages and  tools for end-users
- Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modeling 
  languages
- Innovative textual modeling tools
- Comparison, evaluation and integration of modeling languages
- Correlation between modeling languages and modeling tasks

This year, we particularly encourage submissions describing
applications and case studies of textual modeling as well as test
suites and benchmark collections for evaluating textual modeling
tools.

Venue
=====
The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS 2014 Conference in
Valencia, Spain. It continues the series of OCL workshops held at
UML/MODELS conferences: York (2000), Toronto (2001), San Francisco
(2003), Lisbon (2004), Montego Bay (2005), Genova (2006), Nashville
(2007), Toulouse (2008), Denver (2009), Oslo (2010), Zurich (2011, at
the TOOLs conference), 2012 in Innsbruck, and 2013 in Miami.  Similar
to its predecessors, the workshop addresses both people from academia
and industry. The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration
of OCL and other textual modeling languages, as well as tools for
textual modeling, and for disseminating good practice and discussing
the new requirements for textual modeling.

Workshop Format
===============
The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel
sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions.

Submissions
===========
Two types of papers will be considered: 
    * short papers (6 pages) and 
    * full papers (10 pages) 
in LNCS format. Submissions should be uploaded to EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl2014).  The program
committee will review the submissions (minimum 2 reviews per paper,
usually 3 reviews) and select papers according to their relevance and
interest for discussions that will take place at the workshop.
Accepted papers will be published online in a pre-conference edition
of CEUR (http://www.ceur-ws.org).

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended
version of their workshop paper to a special issue of the Electronic
Communications of the EASST (http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/eceasst)

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

Rice University's Department of Computer Science is looking to hire
multiple postdocs and research scientists in the area of automated
program analysis and synthesis. The work is on a large
multi-institution project on "big code analytics": software analysis
techniques that take advantage of information extant in a large
database of pre-existing code. The project is expected to push the
horizons of automated reasoning about software in radically new ways.

Ideal applicants for the positions will have a solid background in
formal methods and/or programming languages, as well as experience
with building usable programming tools. They would also be excited
about working on high-risk, high-reward ventures and in mission-driven
environments.

The postdocs and research scientists will work with a team of
investigators from Rice University, the University of Texas at Austin,
the University of Wisconsin, and Grammatech, Inc. They will be
supervised by Prof. Swarat Chaudhuri (http://www.cs.rice.edu/~swarat),
and work closely with Professors Vivek Sarkar, Christopher Jermaine, Moshe
Vardi, and Keith Cooper. The duration of the positions is a minimum of
two years, starting September 2014, with possible renewals.
Compensation will be highly competitive and commensurate with
experience. Rice University is located in Houston, Texas, the fourth
largest city in the United States.

  (the day is still to be decided)

The search for sound principles for object-oriented languages has
given rise to much work during the past two decades, leading to a
better understanding of the key concepts of object-oriented languages
and to important developments in type theory, semantics, program
verification, and program development.

Submissions for this event are invited in the general area of
foundations of object-oriented languages. Topics of interest include
language semantics, type systems, type modifiers, memory models,
program verification, object capabilities, formal calculi, concurrent
and distributed languages, database languages, and language-based
security issues.

Papers are welcome to include formal descriptions and proofs, but
these are not required; the key consideration is that papers should
present novel and valuable ideas or experiences. The main focus in
selecting workshop contributions will be the intrinsic interest and
timeliness of the work, so authors are encouraged to submit polished
descriptions of work in progress as well as papers describing
completed projects.

We solicit submissions on original research not previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The program chair
should be informed of any related submissions; see the ACM SIGPLAN
Republication Policy. Submissions should be PDF in standard SIGPLAN
10pt conference format for a US-letter size page. While submissions
can be up to 12 pages, shorter papers describing promising preliminary
work are also encouraged. Papers must be submitted electronically via
EasyChair.


***NEW: Future of Object-Oriented Foundations session at FOOL 2014***

Over the past 20 years, research presented at FOOL has lead to a more
solid understanding of the foundations of today's object-oriented
programming languages.  At the same time, new object-oriented
languages and concepts are constantly being proposed, and there remain
core topics that have not yet been fully explored.  This year at FOOL
2014, we will hold a special session on the Future of Object-Oriented
Foundations (FOOF).  For this session, we solicit short papers as well
as brief position statements regarding future research in
object-oriented foundations:
- A short paper will have the same format as regular submissions to
FOOL, and will be reviewed in a similar way, but will be limited to 4
pages.
 - A position statement includes a title, authors, and 2-3 paragraphs
of text summarizing the position.  These will be lightly evaluated to
ensure the position is of interest to the community.

Authors of short papers will be given short presentation slots to
present them in the FOOF session.  One author of each position
statement will be invited to participate in an panel related to the
position statement's topic.  Possible topics include, but are not
limited to: brands, tags, and pattern matching; module systems and
modularity; protocols, typestate, and sessions; ownership,
permissions, and immutability; concurrent and distributed object
models; OO logics and reasoning; and gradual/hybrid types and
verification.

An informal proceedings will be made publicly available on the web
page. However, presentation at FOOL does not count as prior
publication, and many of the results presented at FOOL have later been
published at ECOOP, OOPSLA, POPL, and other main conferences.

CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS

Second Workshop on 
Parsing at SLE 2014

September 14, 2014
V?ster?s, Sweden
Co-located with ASE, SLE, and GPCE

http://www.sleconf.org/2014/Parsing-at-SLE.html
*********************************************************************

Deadline for talk proposals: July 25, 2014

The goal of this workshop is to bring together today's experts in the fields of
parser construction and parser application from across the diverse application
areas. Participants will present ongoing work as well as explore the challenges
that lie ahead. By bringing the whole community together (a rare occurrence,
given the diversity of domain-specific conferences/workshops), we aim to forge
new collaborations inspired by a wide-ranging collection of talks on
parsing-related topics.

*** Topics ***

While parsing and parser generation, both in theory and in practice, are mature
topics, there are challenging problems with respect to the construction,
maintenance, optimization, and application of parsers in real-world scenarios.

Especially in the context of real programming languages there are ample
theoretical as well as practical obstacles to be overcome. Contemporary parsing
challenges are caused by programming-language evolution and diversity in the
face of new application areas such as IDE construction, reverse engineering,
software metrics, domain specific (embedded) languages, etc. What are modular
meta-formalisms for parser generation? How to obtain (fast and correct) parsers
for both legacy and new languages that require more computational power than
context-free grammars and regular expressions can provide? How to enable the
verified construction or prototyping of parsers for languages such as COBOL, C++
and Scala without years of effort?

In addition to the traditional programming-language applications of parsing
technology, several other areas of computing also depend heavily on
parsers. Examples include computational linguistics, network traffic
classification, network security, and bioinformatics. Those areas often have
their own unusual requirements, such as: speed (e.g. in network algorithmics),
memory efficiency (e.g. embedded devices for networks, but also computational
linguistics), or rapid/dynamic parser construction (e.g. in network traffic
classification and in bioinformatics) as grammars are adapted. We specifically
encourage talk proposals on parsing challenges and solutions in these
non-traditional areas.

*** Call for Submissions ***

We solicit talk proposals in the form of short abstracts (max. 2 pages in ACM
2-column format). A good talk proposal describes an interesting position,
demonstration, or early achievement. The submissions will be reviewed on
relevance and clarity, and used to plan the mostly interactive sessions of the
workshop day. Publication of accepted abstracts and slides on the website is
voluntary.

* Deadline for talk proposals: July 25, 2014
* Workshop: September 14, 2014
* Notification: August 6, 2014
* Submission website: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=parsingsle2014

CALL FOR PAPERS

FM 2015 is the twentieth in a series of symposia organized by Formal 
 Methods Europe, an independent association whose aim is to stimulate 
 the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. 
 The symposia have been notably successful in bringing together innovators 
 and practitioners in precise mathematical methods for software and systems 
 development, industrial users, as well as researchers. The FM symposia 
 welcome original papers on research and industrial experience, 
 proposals for workshops and tutorials, entries for the exhibition of 
 software tools and projects, and reports on ongoing doctoral work. 

SCOPE AND TOPICS 

FM 2015 will have the goal of highlighting the development and application 
 of formal methods. This includes uses of formal methods in a variety 
 of disciplines such as medicine, biology, human cognitive modeling, 
 human automation interactions and aeronautics, among others. FM 2015 
 particularly welcomes papers on techniques, tools and experiences 
 in interdisciplinary frameworks, as well as on experience with practical 
 applications of formal methods in industrial and research settings, 
 empirical and experimental validation of tools and methods as well as 
 construction and evolution of formal methods tools. The broad topics 
 of interest for FM 2015 include but are not limited to: 

Interdisciplinary formal methods: techniques, tools and 
 experiences demonstrating formal methods in interdisciplinary 
 frameworks. 

Formal methods in practice: industrial applications of formal
 methods, experience with introducing formal methods in industry,
 tool usage reports, experiments with challenge problems. 
 Authors are encouraged to explain how the use of formal methods has
 overcome problems, lead to improvements in design or provided 
 new insights.

Tools for formal methods: advances in automated verification and
 model-checking, integration of tools, environments for formal
 methods, experimental validation of tools. Authors are encouraged
 to demonstrate empirically that the new tool or environment
 advances the state of the art.

Role of formal methods in software and systems engineering:
 development processes with formal methods, usage guidelines for
 formal methods, method integration. Authors are encouraged 
 to evaluate process innovations with respect to qualitative or 
 quantitative improvements. Empirical studies and evaluations 
 are also solicited.

Theoretical foundations: all aspects of theory related to
 specification, verification, refinement, and static and dynamic
 analysis. Authors are encouraged to explain how their results
 contribute to the solution of practical problems with methods or
 tools.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the Programme
 Committee. They should be in Springer LNCS format and describe, in
 English, original work that has not been published or submitted
 elsewhere.

Authors of papers reporting experimental work are strongly encouraged 
 to make their experimental results available for use by reviewers. 
 Similarly, case study papers should describe significant case studies 
 and the complete development should be made available at the time of 
 review. In other words, the usual criteria for novelty, reproducibility, 
 correctness and the ability for others to build upon the described work
 apply.

Tool papers should explain enhancements made compared to previously 
 published work. A tool paper need not present the theory behind the 
 tool but can focus more on its features, and how it is used, evaluation,
 with screen shots and examples. Authors of tool papers should make 
 their tool available for use by reviewers. 


Papers should be submitted through the FM 2015 EasyChair web site: 

  http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fm2015. 
 
We solicit two categories of papers: 

Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format, 
 not counting references.

Short papers, including tool papers, should not exceed 6 pages, 
 not counting references. Besides tool papers, short papers 
 are encouraged for any subject that can be described within 
 the page limit, and in particular for novel ideas without an 
 extensive experimental evaluation. Short papers will be accompanied 
 by short presentations.

For regular and tool papers, an appendix can provide additional 
 material such as details on proofs or experiments. The appendix 
 is not guaranteed to be read or taken into account by the reviewers 
 and it should not contain information necessary to the understanding 
 and the evaluation of the presented work. Papers will be accepted 
 or rejected in the category in which they were submitted, there 
 will be no "demotions" from a regular to a short paper.


BEST PAPER AWARD
 
FM 2015 will as a new feature have a best paper award. 
 A best paper will be selected among accepted papers, 
 and the award will be presented at the conference.

PUBLICATION

Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings, to
appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

EasyCrypt (https://www.easycrypt.info) is a toolset for reasoning
about relational properties of probabilistic computations with
adversarial code. Its main application is the construction and
verification of game-based cryptographic proofs. EasyCrypt was used to
prove the security of complex cryptographic constructions, including
the Cramer-Shoup encryption scheme, the Merkle-Damgaard iterative hash
function design, and the ZAEP encryption scheme. More recently, it has
been used for proving the security of protocols based on garbled
circuits, and for the proof of security for authenticated key-exchange
protocols and derived proofs under weaker assumptions.

F* (https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/fstar/) is a new
ML-like functional programming language designed with program
verification in mind. It has a powerful refinement type-checker that
discharges verification conditions using the Z3 SMT solver. F* has
been successfully used to verify nearly 50,000 lines of code, ranging
from cryptographic protocol implementations to web browser extensions,
and from cloud-hosted web applications to key parts of the F* compiler
itself. The newest version on F* erases to both F# and OCaml, on which
it is based. It also compiles securely to JavaScript, enabling safe
interoperability with arbitrary, untrusted JavaScript libraries.

CryptoVerif (http://prosecco.gforge.inria.fr/personal/bblanche/cryptoverif/)
is an automatic protocol prover sound in the computational model. It
can prove secrecy and correspondences (e.g. authentication). The
generated proofs are by sequences of games, as used by cryptographers.
CryptoVerif was successfully used for security proofs of FDH
signatures, Kerberos, OEKE, and the SSH transport layer protocol.

	Programming Languages and Tools (PLATEAU)
Message-ID: <EAA243EF-ADA8-4D4D-8ADB-2B15B98EB812@ecs.vuw.ac.nz>

PLATEAU 2014 - CALL FOR PAPERS
Fifth Workshop on Evaluation and Usability of Programming Languages and Tools (PLATEAU)

Portland, Oregon, United States
http://2014.splashcon.org/track/plateau2014

Workshop co-located with SPLASH, 20-24 October, 2014
http://2014.splashcon.org/

** Theme ** 

Programming languages exist to enable programmers to develop software effectively. But how efficiently programmers can write software depends on the usability of the languages and tools that they develop with. The aim of this workshop is to discuss methods, metrics and techniques for evaluating the usability of languages and language tools. The supposed benefits of such languages and tools cover a large space, including making programs easier to read, write, and maintain; allowing programmers to write more flexible and powerful programs; and restricting programs to make them more safe and secure.

PLATEAU gathers the intersection of researchers in the programming language, programming tool, and human-computer interaction communities to share their research and discuss the future of evaluation and usability of programming languages and tools. 

Some particular areas of interest are:
- empirical studies of programming languages
- methodologies and philosophies behind language and tool evaluation
- software design metrics and their relations to the underlying language
- user studies of language features and software engineering tools
- visual techniques for understanding programming languages
- critical comparisons of programming paradigms
- tools to support evaluating programming languages
- psychology of programming

** Submission Details **

PLATEAU encourages submissions of three types of papers:

Research and position papers:  We encourage papers that describe work-in-progress or recently completed work based on the themes and goals of the workshop or related topics, report on experiences gained, question accepted wisdom, raise challenging open problems, or propose speculative new approaches. We will accept two types of papers: research papers up to 8 pages in length; and position papers up to 2 pages in length.

Hypotheses papers: Hypotheses papers explicitly identify beliefs of the research community or software industry about how a programming language, programming language feature, or programming language tool affects programming practice. Hypotheses can be collected from mailing lists, blog posts, paper introductions, developer forums, or interviews. Papers should clearly document the source(s) of each hypothesis and discuss the importance, use, and relevance of the hypotheses on research or practice. Papers may also, but are not required to, review evidence for or against the hypotheses identified. Hypotheses papers can be up to 4 pages in length.

Papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library at the authors? discretion.

** Important Dates ** 

Workshop paper submission due - 1 August, 2014
Notification to authors - 22 August, 2014
Early registration deadline - 19 September, 2014

CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS

DSLDI 2014

Second Workshop on
Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation

October 20/21, 2014
Portland, USA
Co-located with SPLASH/OOPSLA

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/dsldi2014
*********************************************************************

Deadline for talk proposals: August 27, 2014

If designed and implemented well, domain-specific languages (DSLs)
combine the best features of general-purpose programming languages
(e.g., performance) with high productivity (e.g., ease of
programming).

*** Workshop Goal ***

The goal of the DSLDI workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners interested in sharing ideas on how DSLs should be
designed, implemented, supported by tools, and applied in realistic
application contexts. We are both interested in discovering how
already known domains such as graph processing or machine learning can
be best supported by DSLs, but also in exploring new domains that
could be targeted by DSLs. More generally, we are interested in
building a community that can drive forward the development of modern
DSLs.

*** Workshop Format ***

DSLDI is a single-day workshop and will consist of a series of short
talks whose main goal is to trigger exchange of opinion and
discussions. The talks should be on the topics within DSLDI's area of
interest, which include but are not limited to the following ones:

* DSL implementation techniques, including compiler-level and
  runtime-level solutions
* utilization of domain knowledge for driving optimizations of DSL
  implementations
* utilizing DSLs for managing parallelism and hardware heterogeneity
* DSL performance and scalability studies
* DSL tools, such as DSL editors and editor plugins, debuggers,
  refactoring tools, etc.
* applications of DSLs to existing as well as emerging domains, for
  example graph processing, image processing, machine learning,
  analytics, robotics, etc.
* practitioners reports, for example descriptions of DSL deployment in
  a real-life production setting

*** Call for Submissions ***

We solicit talk proposals in the form of short abstracts (max. 2
pages). A good talk proposal describes an interesting position,
demonstration, or early achievement. The submissions will be reviewed
on relevance and clarity, and used to plan the mostly interactive
sessions of the workshop day. Publication of accepted abstracts and
slides on the website is voluntary.

* Deadline for talk proposals: August 27, 2014
* Notification: September 12, 2014
* Workshop: October 19 or 20, 2014
* Submission website: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dsldi2014

            CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 

  Model-based design and analysis of cyber-physical systems 
         SPES_XT Summer School at AVoCS'14 
               Twente, The Netherlands 
                  Sept. 17-23, 2014 

          +++ still some places left +++

Today's challenges in the development of embedded and cyber-physical 
systems are mainly caused by the ever-increasing complexity of the 
software. Model-based design and analysis has a high potential to 
overcome these challenges. SPES_XT (Software Platform Embedded 
Systems) is a large German endeavour to build a consistent, coherent 
model-based design methodology for complex embedded and cyber-physical 
systems. The aim of AVoCS (International Workshop on Automated 
Verification of Critical Systems) is to further research on tools and 
techniques for the verification of critical systems. The SPES_XT 
Summer School at AVoCS'14 will present results and experiences from 
the SPES_XT project, as well as research approaches established at 
AVoCS. It will provide a concise introduction to the state-of-the-art, 
as well as new approaches and research questions. Attendants will gain 
an intimate understanding of a consistent system development process 
for complex embedded and cyber-physical systems over different 
application domains (e.g. automation, automotive, avionic, rail). 

The school addresses young researchers as well as young professionals 
from industry. It will be held immediately prior to AVoCS 2014.

---------------------
Goals of the Workshop
---------------------

A recurring theme in many papers at ICFP, and in the research of many
ICFP attendees, is the interaction of higher-order programming with
various kinds of effects: storage effects, I/O, control effects,
concurrency, etc. While effects are of critical importance in many
applications, they also make it hard to build, maintain, and reason
about one's code. Higher-order languages (both functional and
object-oriented) provide a variety of abstraction mechanisms to help
"tame" or "encapsulate" effects (e.g. monads, ADTs, ownership types,
typestate, first-class events, transactions, Hoare Type Theory,
session types, substructural and region-based type systems), and a
number of different semantic models and verification technologies have
been developed in order to codify and exploit the benefits of this
encapsulation (e.g. bisimulations, step-indexed Kripke logical
relations, higher-order separation logic, game semantics, various
modal logics). But there remain many open problems, and the field is
highly active.

The goal of the HOPE workshop is to bring researchers from a variety
of different backgrounds and perspectives together to exchange new and
exciting ideas concerning the design, semantics, implementation, and
verification of higher-order effectful programs.

We want HOPE to be as informal and interactive as possible. The
program will thus involve a combination of invited talks, contributed
talks about work in progress, and open-ended discussion
sessions. There will be no published proceedings, but participants
will be invited to submit working documents, talk slides, etc. to be
posted on this website.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Call for Highlights: Aerospace America Intelligent
 Systems Year In Review
Message-ID: <53D1E94F.1050808@nasa.gov>

Hi TYPES community,

I would really like to feature work in using techniques like strong 
typing in programming languages to enable proofs of correctness of 
aerospace systems in this article! If there is anyone on the TYPES list 
applying their theoretical advances in the aerospace domain, I feel it 
would be very beneficial to call attention to that work in the 
interdisciplinary (CS/Aero) audience that will read this article.

Cheers,
Kristin

 Languages and Applications - Second CfP
Message-ID: <CAD2xvMkbCJ8fB9AAF_ObwhcY_0RMKcZzDDVgVQAcDAuEZ5Y_Zg@mail.gmail.com>

**************************************************************************************
                  Coordination Models, Languages and Applications
        Special Track of the 30th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC'15)
                           http://sac2015.apice.unibo.it/

                                April 13 - 17, 2015
                                  Salamanca, Spain

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

Building on the success of the fifteenth previous editions (1998-2014), a
special
track on coordination models, languages and applications will be held at
SAC 2015.
Over the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of models, formalisms
and
mechanisms to describe concurrent and distributed computations and systems
based on
the concept of coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to
enable the
integration of a number of possibly heterogeneous components (processes,
objects,
agents, services) in such a way that the resulting ensemble can execute as
a whole,
forming a distributed software system with desired characteristics and
functionalities.
This is done in terms of coordination abstractions, languages, algorithms,
mechanisms,
and middleware specifically focused on the management of component
interaction.

The coordination paradigm crosscuts a number of contemporary software
engineering
approaches and fields, which we aim to cross-fertilize and bring
contribution to,
including in particular: multi-agent systems, self-adaptative and
self-organising
systems, service-oriented architectures, component-based systems, and all
related
middleware platforms.

The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications takes
a
deliberately broad view of what constitutes coordination. Accordingly,
major topics
of interest this year will include:

   - Novel models, languages, formalisms, programming and implementation
techniques
   - Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures
   - Applications
   - Middleware platforms
   - Formal aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification)
   - Software architectures and software engineering techniques
   - Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile agents,
intelligent agents,
     and agent-based simulations
   - Internet, Web, and pervasive computing systems coordination
   - Languages for service description and composition
   - Models, frameworks and tools for Group Decision Making
   - All aspects related to Cooperative Information Systems (e.g. workflow
management,
     CSCW)
   - Configuration and Architecture Description Languages
   - Self-organising, self-adaptive and nature-inspired coordination
approaches
   - Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented,
declarative
     (functional, logic, constraint) programming or their extensions with
coordination
     capabilities
   - Coordination models and specification in Service-Oriented
Architectures, Web Service
     technologies (orchestration, choreography, etc.),Pervasive Computing
and Autonomic
     Computing
   - Policy-based approaches to coordination and self-adaptation

We also welcome papers on practical systems or novel applications that are
aimed at
reaching coordination between components and services, especially if those
systems and
novel applications challenge existing ideas and models.

In previous editions, CM Special Track organisers have been inviting
authors of selected
papers for special issues in high impact journals, such as, ACM
Transactions on Autonomous
and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) and Science of Computer Programming (SCP).

---------------------
   Proceedings
---------------------

Papers accepted for the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and
Applications will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2015 proceedings and
in
the Digital Library.



-------------------------------------
   Paper submission and format
-------------------------------------

All papers should represent original and previously unpublished works that
currently are not under review in any conference or journal.

The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the
paper,
and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate
blind
review. Only the title should be shown at the first page without the
author's
information.

Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages and in the ACM two-column
page
format (doc template, pdf template, latex template). It will be possible to
have
up to 2 extra pages in the proceeding at a charge of $80 per page (total 8
pages
maximum).

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster
in the
conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the
paper.
This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE
digital
library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding
them
from the ACM/IEEE digital library.

Submission is entirely automated via the STAR Submission System, which is
available
from the main SAC Web Site: https://www.softconf.com/d/sac2015/.


-------------------------
   Poster Sessions
-------------------------

Papers that received high reviews (that is acceptable by reviewer
standards) but
were not accepted due to space limitation can be invited for the poster
session.
Poster should be not longer than 2 pages plus 1 extra page at $80. The
poster
session procedures and details will be posted on SAC 2015 website as soon
as they
become available.


------------------------------------------------
   Student research abstracts competition
------------------------------------------------

Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts (minimum of
2-page and
maximum of 4-page) following the instructions published at SAC 2015
website.
Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Open PhD positions in Vienna and Villach, Austria
Message-ID: <E9A60D06A406E34890136020CF973BA71D3CF7F9@S0MSMAIL111.arc.local>

Vienna University of Technology (VUT), Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) and Infineon Technologies Austria AG (IFAT) are offering three PhD positions fully funded for 3 years as part of the project "Assertion-based Hardware Monitors for Automotive Systems"- HARMONIA.

HARMONIA will provide a framework for assertion-based monitoring of automotive systems-of-systems with mixed criticality. It will enable a uniform way to reason about both safety-critical correctness and non-critical robustness and performance properties of such systems. Observers embedded on FPGA hardware will be generated from assertions, and used for monitoring automotive designs emulated on hardware.

The positions are due to start in October 2014, but there is some flexibility regarding the starting date.

One PhD candidate will be co-supervised by Prof. Radu Grosu (Cyber-Physical Systems Group, VUT) and Dr. Dejan Nickovic (Safety and Security Department, AIT), and will be hosted by AIT in Vienna, Austria.

Two PhD candidates will be co-supervised by Prof. Radu Grosu (VUT) and Dr. Thang Nguyen (IFAT), and will be hosted by IFAT in Villach, Austria.

Applicants should contact Prof. Radu Grosu (radu.grosu at tuwien.ac.at<mailto:radu.grosu at tuwien.ac.at>), Dr. Dejan Nickovic (dejan.nickovic at ait.ac.at<mailto:dejan.nickovic at ait.ac.at>) and Dr. Thang Nguyen (thang.nguyen at infineon.com<mailto:thang.nguyen at infineon.com>) with an expression of interest in the position and an up to date CV.

The candidates shall satisfy one or more of the following requirements:
?        A degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related disciplines.
?        Excellent skills in VHDL, FPGA and embedded design and programming
?        Excellent knowledge in formal methods, verification and temporal logics
?        Curiosity and out-of-the-box thinking
?        Good communication skills
Knowledge of German is welcome but not required.

The positions will be fully funded for 3 years with competitive salaries. In addition, PhD candidates will be provided with a laptop and funding for travel expenses, including visits to conferences, workshops and other research groups.

VUT is one of the most successful technical universities in Europe and the world, and it is Austria's largest scientific-technical research and educational institution. The Faculty of Informatics (FI) at the VUT comprises more than 3,000 students alone. The Institute of Computer Engineering (ICE) is one of the seven computer science institutes of the Faculty of Informatics. Within ICE, Professor Grosu heads the Cyber-Physical Systems Group (CPS). The teaching and research of the CPS focus on modelling, analysis and control of complex dynamic systems, hybrid systems: computation and control, worst case execution time, time predictable architectures (HW, SW), control-theory and runtime verification, abstract interpretation, model checking, logic and automata theory, and software and systems engineering.

AIT is Austria's largest contract-oriented, non-profit research organization. Its five strategic departments perform domain-specific as well as interdisciplinary applied research in co-operation with industry, universities on national as well as European and international level with a staff of about 1100 on 8 sites. The Safe and Autonomous Systems Group (Business Unit SAS) of the Department Safety & Security (about 145 researchers) focuses on embedded real-time software and systems technology and tools relevant for control system architectures, validation and evaluation in automotive, railway, robotics, and industrial control.

IFAT is a 100% subsidiary of the worldwide operating semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies AG  - founded in 1999 as a spin-off from "Siemens Semiconductors". In Austria about 1050 of 3100 employees are working in the field of R&D (biggest "R&D" unit for microelectronics in Austria) offering a high level of comprehensive know-how in technology, modeling, design and manufacturing.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION



RV 2014: 14th International Conference on Runtime Verification

September 22 - September 25, 2014, Toronto, Canada

http://rv2014.imag.fr

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

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

OVERVIEW

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

Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of software
and hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques are
important for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they are
complementary to 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.

ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers
and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the
proceedings and have presentations during the conference.

ESOP and FoSSaCS accept only research papers. TACAS has more paper
categories (see http://www.etaps.org/2015/tacas).

A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one
of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation.

Submitted papers must be in English presenting original
research. They must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. In particular, simultaneous submission of the same
contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is forbidden. The
proceedings will be published in the Advanced Research in Computing
and Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of Springer's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series.

Papers must follow the formatting guidelines specified by Springer at

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

and be submitted electronically in pdf through the EasyChair author
interface of the respective conference (HotCRP for ESOP).

Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately.


- Research papers

FASE, FOSSACS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pages for research
papers, whereas CC, POST allow at most 20 pages and ESOP 25 pages.

Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication
in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page
limit. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers
must be understandable without them.

In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also case study
papers (at most 15 pages).

Both TACAS and FASE solicit also regular tool papers (at most 15
pages).


- Tool demonstration papers

Submissions should consist of two parts:

Special Issue of THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE
on
Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages and Systems (QAPL 2013/14)

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

********************************
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
********************************

We invite the submission of papers on Quantitative Aspects of
Programming Languages and Systems for publication in a special issue
of the Journal of Theoretical Computer Science (TCS). In particular we
welcome papers which are revised versions of the submitted to and
presented at the QAPL 2013 Workshop in Rome and QAPL 2014 in
Grenoble. We will additionally also welcome submissions of papers not
presented at QAPL, provided they fall into the scope of the call.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                
Quantitative aspects of computation are important and sometimes
essential in characterising the behaviour and determining the
properties of systems. They are related to the use of physical
quantities (storage space, time, bandwidth, etc.) as well as
mathematical quantities (e.g. probability and measures for
reliability, risk and trust). Such quantities play a central role in
defining both the model of systems (architecture, language design,
semantics) and the methodologies and tools for the analysis and
verification of system properties. This special issue will be devoted
to research papers which discuss the explicit use of quantitative
information such as time and probabilities either directly in the
model or as a tool for the analysis of systems. In particular,
contributions should focus on

* the design of probabilistic and real-time languages and the
  definition of semantical models for such languages;

* the discussion of methodologies for the analysis of probabilistic
  and timing properties (e.g. security, safety, schedulability) and of
  other quantifiable properties such as reliability (for hardware
  components), trustworthiness (in information security) and resource
  usage (e.g. worst-case memory/stack/cache requirements);

* the probabilistic analysis of systems which do not explicitly
  incorporate quantitative aspects (e.g. performance, reliability and
  risk analysis);

* applications to safety-critical systems, communication protocols,
  control systems, asynchronous hardware, and to any other domain
  involving quantitative issues.

* the investigation of computational models and paradigms involving
  quantitative aspects, such as those arising in quantum computation,
  systems biology, bioinformatics, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Topics include (but are not limited to) probabilistic, timing and
general quantitative aspects in:

Language design, language expressiveness, quantitative language
extension, semantics, logic, verification, automated reasoning,
testing, model-checking, program analysis, performance analysis,
resource analysis, safety, security and protocol analysis, risk and
hazard analysis, for biological systems, quantum languages,
information systems, multi-tasking and multi-core systems,
time-critical systems, embedded systems, coordination models,
scheduling theory, distributed systems, concurrent systems, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Papers should be 20-25 pages long, including appendices, and should be
formatted according to Elsevier's elsart document style used for articles in
the Journal of Theoretical Computer Science (see the Guide for Authors at
http://ees.elsevier.com/tcs).

=====  Introduction  =====

The fundamental turn of software into concurrency and distribution
is not only a matter of performance, but also of design and abstraction.
It calls for programming paradigms that, compared to current mainstream
paradigms, would allow us to more naturally think about, design, develop,
execute, debug, and profile systems exhibiting different degrees of
concurrency, autonomy, decentralization of control, and physical distribution.  

AGERE! is an ACM SIGPLAN workshop dedicated to focusing on and developing the
research  on programming systems, languages and applications based on actors,
agents and any related programming paradigm promoting a decentralized mindset
in solving problems and in developing systems to implement such solutions.  

The workshop is designed to cover both the theory and the practice of design
and programming, bringing together researchers working on the models,
languages and  technologies, and practitioners developing real-world systems
and applications.   
      
More info about the specific topics can be found on the AGERE! 2014 website. 
       
===== Contributions =====

The workshop welcomes three main kinds of contributions:

(1) mature contributions, to be published on the ACM Digital Library as an official ACM SIGPLAN publication;

(2) position papers and work-in-progress contributions, to be discussed during the event and included in the informal proceedings;

(3) demos, that will be presented and discussed during the event.

Info about the format and the page limits can be found on the AGERE! 2014 website (http://soft.vub.ac.be/AGERE14)

A special issue on a reference journal will be organized with the extended and revised version of the best papers accepted and presented to the workshop. This special issue follows a previous one published in Science of Computer Programming, collecting best papers from AGERE! 2011 and 2012.

 Secure Software and Systems
Message-ID: <53DB58D2.9010403@cs.kuleuven.be>

                         ===  Call for papers ===

Conference: International Symposium on Engineering Secure Software and
             Systems (ESSoS)
Date:       March 4 - 6, 2015
Venue:      Milan, Italy
Website:    https://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/essos/2015/


In cooperation with: (pending) ACM SIGSAC and SIGSOFT and IEEE CS (TCSP).

== Context and motivation ==

Trustworthy, secure software is a core ingredient of the modern
world. So is the Internet. Hostile, networked environments, like the
Internet, can allow vulnerabilities in software to be exploited from
anywhere. To address this, high-quality security building blocks
(e.g., cryptographic components) are necessary, but insufficient.
Indeed, the construction of secure software is challenging because of
the complexity of modern applications, the growing sophistication of
security requirements, the multitude of available software
technologies and the progress of attack vectors. Clearly, a strong
need exists for engineering techniques that scale well and that
demonstrably improve the software's security properties.

== Goal and setup ==

The goal of this symposium, which will be the sixth in the series, is
to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the states
of the art and practice in secure software engineering. Being one of
the few conference-level events dedicated to this topic, it
explicitly aims to bridge the software engineering and security
engineering communities, and promote cross-fertilization. The
symposium will feature two days of technical program. In addition to
academic papers, the symposium encourages submission of high-quality,
informative industrial experience papers about successes and failures
in security software engineering and the lessons learned.
Furthermore, the symposium also accepts short idea papers that
crisply describe a promising direction, approach, or insight.

== Topics ==

Paper submissions are solicited in all areas relating to secure
software and secure systems research, including but not limited to:

 - Cloud security, virtualization for security
 - Mobile devices security
 - Automated techniques for vulnerability discovery and analysis
 - Model checking for security
 - Binary code analysis, reverse-engineering
 - Programming paradigms, models, and domain-specific languages for
    security
 - Operating system security
 - Verification techniques for security properties
 - Malware: detection, analysis, mitigation
 - Security in critical infrastructures
 - Security economics
 - Security by design
 - Static and dynamic code analysis for security
 - Web applications security
 - Program rewriting techniques for security
 - Security measurements
 - Empirical secure software engineering
 - Security-oriented software reconfiguration and evolution
 - Computer forensics
 - Processes for the development of secure software and systems
 - Human-computer interaction for security
 - Security testing
 - Embedded software security

== Important dates ==

Abstract submission: September 8, 2014	
Paper submission: September 15, 2014
Demo submission: October 24, 2014
Author notification: November 17, 2014
Camera-ready: December 7, 2014

== Submission and format ==

The proceedings of the symposium are published by Springer-Verlag in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series
(http://www.springer.com/lncs). Submissions should follow the
formatting instructions of Springer LNCS. Submitted papers must
present original, non-published work of high quality.

For selected papers, there will be an invitation to submit extended
versions to a special issue in the International Journal of
Information Security.

Two types of papers will be accepted:
Full papers (max 14 pages without bibliography/appendices) - May
describe original technical research with a solid foundation, such as
formal analysis or experimental results, with acceptance determined
mostly based on novelty and validation. Or, may describe case studies
applying existing techniques or analysis methods in industrial
settings, with acceptance determined mostly by the general
applicability of techniques and the completeness of the technical
presentation details.

Idea papers (max 8 pages with bibliography) - May crisply describe a
novel idea that is both feasible and interesting, where the idea may
range from a variant of an existing technique all the way to a vision
for the future of security technology. Idea papers allow authors to
introduce ideas to the field and get feedback, while allowing for
later publication of complete, fully-developed results. Submissions
will be judged primarily on novelty, excitement, and exposition, but
feasibility is required, and acceptance will be unlikely without some
basic, principled validation (e.g., extrapolation from limited
experiments or simple formal analysis). In the proceedings, idea
papers will clearly identified by means of the "Idea" tag in the
title.

== Demo Session Submission ==

This year we are planning to include a demonstration session in the
symposium. If you are working on practical solutions to
industrial-relevant problems in key areas of ESSOS, consider
disseminating about your experience at our demonstration session. To
be considered for presentation, a proposal describing the
demonstration should be mailed to the Industry Chair, Luca Compagna
(luca.compagna at sap.com). The following type of submission will be
accepted:

Demo presentation (short description, max 4 pages, not published in
proceedings) - May shortly describe (i) the overall problem, (ii) the
architecture underlying the system demonstrated, and (iii) one or
more use case scenarios that present how the audience will gain an
understanding of the underlying technology.

Submissions will be evaluated based on the motivation of the work
behind the use of the system to be demonstrated and its novelty. Demo
presentations will not be included in the formal proceeding of ESSOS.

- SAC 2015

For the past twenty-night years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has
been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers,
software engineers, and application developers from around the world.

SAC 2015 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP),
and will be held at the University of Salamanca, Spain.

- Call For Student Research Abstracts:

Graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas
are invited to submit original abstracts of their research work in areas of experimental
computing and application development related to SAC 2015 Tracks. The Student Research
Competition (SRC) program is designed to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet
and exchange ideas with researcher and practitioners in their areas of interest.

- OOPS Track

Object-oriented programming (OOP) has become the mainstream programming paradigm for
developing complex software systems in most application domains.

However, existing OO languages and platforms need to evolve to meet the continuous
demand for new abstractions, features, and tools able to reduce the time, effort, and
cost of creating object-oriented software systems, and improving their performance, quality
and usability.

To this aim, OOPS is seeking for research advances bringing benefits in all those typical
aspects of software development, such as modeling, prototyping, design, implementation,
concurrency and distribution, code generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation,
deployment, maintenance, reuse, and software evolution and adaptation.

The specific OO related topics of interest for the OOPS track include, but are not limited to,
the following:


*    Aspects and components
*    Code generation, and optimization, just-in-time compilation
*    Context-oriented programming
*    Databases and persistence
*    Distribution and concurrency
*    Dynamic and scripting languages
*    Evaluation
*    Feature Oriented Software Development and Programming
*    Formal verification
*    Integration with other paradigms
*    Interoperability, versioning and software evolution and adaptation
*    Language design and implementation
*    Modular and generic programming
*    Reflection, meta-programming
*    Runtime verification
*    Secure and dependable software
*    Static analysis
*    Testing and debugging
*    Type systems and type inference
*    Virtual machines


OOPS offers a great opportunity to the OOP community to gain visibility, and to
exploit the inter-disciplinary nature of SAC.

- Submission Instructions

Prospective papers should be submitted to the track in pdf format using the START submission system
for regular papers (http://oldwww.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/Paper-SubmissionUploadPage.htm) or
SRC papers (http://oldwww.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/SRC-SubmissionUploadPage.htm)

Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed; all papers should represent original 
and
previously unpublished works that are currently not under review in any conference or journal.
Both basic and applied research papers are welcome.

The format of the paper must adhere to the sig-alternate style 
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)
Full papers are limited to 6 pages with the option for up to 2 additional pages at extra charge (80 
USD per page).
Posters are limited to 3 pages with the option for up to 1 additional page at extra charge (80 USD).

Papers that fall short the above requirements are subjected to rejection.
All papers must be submitted by *September 12,  2014*.
For more information please visit the SAC 2015 Website (http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015).

- Proceedings

Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the annual conference proceedings. Accepted posters will be
published as extended abstracts in the same proceedings.

Please note that full registration is required for papers and posters to be included in the conference
proceedings and CD. Papers and posters NOT presented at conference will NOT be included in the ACM 
digital
library. Student registration is only intended to encourage student attendance and does not cover 
inclusion
of papers/posters in the conference proceedings.

Finally, following the tradition of the past OOPS editions, depending on the quality and the overall 
number
of accepted papers, after the conference authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an 
extended version for a journal
special issue.

Call for Research Ideas

14th Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 Workshop

http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014

24-26th September, 2014

University of Twente, Netherlands

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

Call for Research Ideas (deadline August 11th, notification August 14th)

The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 is
to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members
of the international research community on tools and techniques for
the verification of critical systems. The subject is to be interpreted
broadly and inclusively. It covers all aspects of automated
verification, including model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint solving, abstract interpretation, and refinement pertaining
to various types of critical systems which need to meet stringent
dependability requirements (safety-critical, business-critical,
performance-critical, etc.). Contributions that describe different
techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged. The technical
programme will consist of invited and contributed talks and also allow
for short presentations of research ideas (this call). The workshop
will be relatively informal, with an emphasis on discussion.

AVoCS topics include (but are not limited to)

     Model Checking
     Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving
     SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification
     Abstract Interpretation
     Specification and Refinement
     Requirements Capture and Analysis
     Verification of Software and Hardware
     Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
     Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems
     Dependable Systems
     Verified System Development
     Industrial Applications

Thanks to Formal Methods Europe (http://www.fmeurope.org/), we offer a
financial support for students registering for AVoCS in the form of a
registration fee waiver (full or partial). Because our financial
support is limited, we ask the students that would like to take the
advantage of this support to submit a short application. The details
on how to apply can be found on the AVoCS 2014 webpage
(http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014).

AVoCS 2014 is co-organised and co-located with SPES_XT Summer School
on Model-based design and analysis of cyber-physical systems:

http://spes2020.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/summerschool2014.html

A registration reduction is going to be offered for participants
attending both events.

The workshop will have three invited speakers:

   Laura Kovacs (Chalmers, Sweden) will speak about automated assertion
     generation.
   Alastair Donaldson (Imperial College, U.K.) will speak about 
verification
     of OpenCL kernels.
   Guy Broadfoot (U.K.) will speak about fighting the battle to get 
industry
     to adopt formal based tools.

Important Dates

   Submission of research ideas: 11th August 2014
   Notification: 14th August 2014

   Student grant application: 14th August 2014
   Early registration: 1st September 2014

   Workshop: 24-26th September 2014 (2.5 days, ends 26th lunchtime)

Submission Details

AVoCS'14 encourages the submissions of research ideas in order to
stimulate discussions at the workshop. Reports on ongoing work or
surveys on work published elsewhere are welcome. The Programme
Committee will select research ideas on the basis of submitted
abstracts according to significance and general interest. Research
ideas must be written in English and not exceed 2 pages.

The AVoCS 2014 Submission Site is available through EasyChair at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=avocs2014

Conference Proceedings

At the workshop, pre-proceedings will be available in the form of a
University of Twente Technical Report; this report will also include
the research ideas. However, research ideas *will not* be part of the
AVoCS proceedings in the EASST Open Access Journal.

GPCE 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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RDP 2015 Call for Workshops
(Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming, June-July 2015, Warsaw, Poland)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


RDP 2015 is the eighth edition of the International Conference on
Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming, consisting of two main
conferences

* RTA (Rewriting Techniques and Applications)
* TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications)

Previous RDPs were held in 2003 in Valencia (Spain), 2004 in Aachen
(Germany), 2005 in Nara (Japan), 2007 in Paris (France), 2009 in
Brasilia (Brasil), 2011 in Novi Sad (Serbia), 2013 in Eindhoven (The
Netherlands).

We solicit proposals for satellite workshops of RDP 2015 that are
related in topics to one or both of the RDP conferences.

We plan the workshops to proceed for up to 2 days (possibilities of
longer workshops should be discussed with the organisers). It is
tradition at RDP that attendance to workshops is open to participants
of parallel events, similar to the way FLoC workshops are run. There
will be one day (Sunday, June 28, 2015) reserved for workshops only,
however, it will also be possible to run workshops on the other days
in parallel to one of the main conferences.

RDP will provide the possibility to print workshop proceedings,
details of the procedure will be posted later by the local organising
committee. RDP will not be able to reimburse invited workshop speakers
for travel or living expenses, though it may be possible to waive part
of the registration fees for invited speakers. The priority of RDP
will be to keep registration fees for the conferences and workshops
low.

If you want to organise a workshop, please send the following
information to rdp15 at mimuw.edu.pl:

* Workshop title and description of the topic
* Names and affiliations of the organisers
* Pointers to descriptions of previous editions of the workshop, if any
* Proposed workshop duration (from one day to two days)
* Proposed format and agenda (for example, paper presentations,
  tutorials, demo sessions, etc.)
* Plans for invited speakers or special sessions (round-table
  discussion, tutorials, etc.)
* Estimate of the audience size
* Procedures for selecting papers and participants
* Plans for the publication of proceedings (informal proceedings
  distributed to participants, electronic journal, proceedings with
  separate selection process, etc.)
* Other potential organisational issues


IMPORTANT DATES

Submission of workshop proposals:   November 18, 2014 (Tuesday)
Notification date:                  November 26, 2014 (Wednesday)

Important dates:
- August 15, 2014 Abstract submission **9 days from now**
- August 23, 2014 Full paper submission
- September 26, 2014 Notification
- October 10, 2014 Paper due for informal proceedings
- October 20, 2014 Workshop


The search for sound principles for object-oriented languages has
given rise to much work during the past two decades, leading to a
better understanding of the key concepts of object-oriented languages
and to important developments in type theory, semantics, program
verification, and program development.

Submissions for this event are invited in the general area of
foundations of object-oriented languages. Topics of interest include
language semantics, type systems, type modifiers, memory models,
program verification, object capabilities, formal calculi, concurrent
and distributed languages, database languages, and language-based
security issues.

Papers are welcome to include formal descriptions and proofs, but
these are not required; the key consideration is that papers should
present novel and valuable ideas or experiences. The main focus in
selecting workshop contributions will be the intrinsic interest and
timeliness of the work, so authors are encouraged to submit polished
descriptions of work in progress as well as papers describing
completed projects.

We solicit submissions on original research not previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The program chair
should be informed of any related submissions; see the ACM SIGPLAN
Republication Policy. Submissions should be PDF in standard SIGPLAN
10pt conference format for a US-letter size page. While submissions
can be up to 12 pages, shorter papers describing promising preliminary
work are also encouraged. Papers must be submitted electronically via
EasyChair (www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fool2014).


***NEW: Future of Object-Oriented Foundations session at FOOL 2014***

Over the past 20 years, research presented at FOOL has lead to a more
solid understanding of the foundations of today's object-oriented
programming languages.  At the same time, new object-oriented
languages and concepts are constantly being proposed, and there remain
core topics that have not yet been fully explored.  This year at FOOL
2014, we will hold a special session on the Future of Object-Oriented
Foundations (FOOF).  For this session, we solicit short papers as well
as brief position statements regarding future research in
object-oriented foundations:
 - A short paper will have the same format as regular submissions to
FOOL, and will be reviewed in a similar way, but will be limited to 4
pages.
 - A position statement includes a title, authors, and 2-3 paragraphs
of text summarizing the position.  These will be lightly evaluated to
ensure the position is of interest to the community.

Authors of short papers will be given short presentation slots to
present them in the FOOF session.  One author of each position
statement will be invited to participate in an panel related to the
position statement's topic.  Possible topics include, but are not
limited to: brands, tags, and pattern matching; module systems and
modularity; protocols, typestate, and sessions; ownership,
permissions, and immutability; concurrent and distributed object
models; OO logics and reasoning; and gradual/hybrid types and
verification.

An informal proceedings will be made publicly available on the web
page. However, presentation at FOOL does not count as prior
publication, and many of the results presented at FOOL have later been
published at ECOOP, OOPSLA, POPL, and other main conferences.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

7th International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE) 2014

Vasteras, Sweden, September 15-16, 2014 

http://www.sleconf.org/2014/

Co-located with: 

29th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2014)
13th International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts and Experiences (GPCE 2014)

---------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES

SLE workshops: 14 September, 2014
Conference: 15-16 September, 2014

---------------------------------------------------------
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)

---------------------------------------------------------
INVITED SPEAKER

Title: From Language Engineering to Viewpoint Engineering

Speaker: Colin Atkinson, University of Mannheim

Abstract:

As software systems increase in size and complexity, and are expected to cope with ever more quantities of information from ever more sources, there is an urgent and growing need for a more view-oriented approach to software engineering. Views allow stakeholders to see exactly the right information, at exactly the right time, in a way that best matches their capabilities and goals. However, this is only possible if the information is represented in the optimal languages (i.e. domain- and purpose-specific), with the necessary context information and the optimal manipulation/editing features - that is, if information is viewed from the optimal viewpoints. Rather than merely engineering languages, therefore, software engineers in the future will need to engineer viewpoints, which augment language definitions (e.g. meta-models, syntax ...) with context information (e.g. elision, location, perspective ...) and user-interaction information (e.g. editing pallets, view manipulation services ...). In this talk Colin Atkinson will outline the issues faced in supporting the flexible and efficient engineering of viewpoints and will present some key foundations of a fundamentally view-oriented approach to software engineering

AVoCS 2014: 1st Call for Participation

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

Call for Participation

14th Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 Workshop

http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014

24-26th September, 2014

University of Twente, Netherlands

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

Call for Participation

The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 is
to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members
of the international research community on tools and techniques for
the verification of critical systems. The subject is to be interpreted
broadly and inclusively. It covers all aspects of automated
verification, including model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint solving, abstract interpretation, and refinement pertaining
to various types of critical systems which need to meet stringent
dependability requirements (safety-critical, business-critical,
performance-critical, etc.). Contributions that describe different
techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged. The technical
programme will consist of invited and contributed talks and also allow
for short presentations of research ideas. The workshop will be
relatively informal, with an emphasis on discussion.

AVoCS topics include (but are not limited to)

     Model Checking
     Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving
     SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification
     Abstract Interpretation
     Specification and Refinement
     Requirements Capture and Analysis
     Verification of Software and Hardware
     Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
     Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems
     Dependable Systems
     Verified System Development
     Industrial Applications

Thanks to Formal Methods Europe (http://www.fmeurope.org/), we offer a
financial support for students registering for AVoCS in the form of a
registration fee waiver (full or partial). Because our financial support
is limited, we ask the students that would like to take the advantage of
this support to submit a short application (deadline August 14th). The
details on how to apply can be found on the AVoCS 2014 webpage
(http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014).

AVoCS 2014 is coorganised and colocated with SPES_XT Summer School
on Model-based design and analysis of cyber-physical systems:

http://spes2020.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/summerschool2014.html

A registration reduction is offered for participants attending both events.

The workshop will have three invited speakers:

   Laura Kovacs (Chalmers, Sweden) will speak about automated assertion
     generation.
   Alastair Donaldson (Imperial College, U.K.) will speak about verification
     of OpenCL kernels.
   Guy Broadfoot (U.K.) will speak about fighting the battle to get industry
     to adopt formal based tools.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] postdoc position in INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt
Message-ID: <A27637B9-A2BF-4C00-8F59-8F50B198EFA1@cs.cmu.edu>

* Summary 

o Postdoc position: Deepsea Project, INRIA Rocquencourt-Paris
o Duration: 2 (+1) Year
o Area: programming languages
o Note: Collaborations and extended stays at Carnegie Mellon
  University possible (likely with funding from CMU).

* Description

Postdoc position is available on the Design and implementation of
programming languages for dynamic parallelism in the DeepSea Project
in INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt. This is a two year post-doc position,
with an option to extend to three years.  The post-doc will be funded
by an EU-ERC grant in INRIA-Paris, France.  Visits and collaboration
with Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) will

                          FTSCS 2014

3rd International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems

                Luxembourg, November 6-7, 2014
              (satellite workshop of ICFEM 2014)

                    http://www.ftscs.org

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

*** Science of Computer Programming special issue ***
*** Springer CCIS proceedings ***


Aims and Scope:

There is an increasing demand in industry to use formal methods to
achieve software-independent verification and validation of
safety-critical systems, e.g., in fields such as avionics, automotive,
medical, and other cyber-physical systems. Newer standards, such as
DO-178C (avionics) and ISO 26262 (automotive), emphasize the need for
formal methods and model-based development, speeding up the
adaptation of such methods in industry.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers
who are interested in the application of formal and semi-formal methods
to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. In
particular, FTSCS strives to promote research and development of
formal methods and tools for industrial applications, and is particularly
interested in industrial applications of formal methods.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods for
analyzing safety-critical systems, including avionics, automotive,
medical, and other kinds of safety-critical and QoS-critical systems
* methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis,
certification, debugging, etc., of complex safety/QoS-critical systems
* analysis methods that address the limitations of formal methods in
industry (usability, scalability, etc.)
* formal analysis support for modeling languages used in industry,
such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE, Modelica, etc.
* code generation from validated models.

The workshop will provide a platform for discussions and the exchange of
innovative ideas, so submissions on work in progress are encouraged.

ARTICLE INFORMATION:
--------------------
This article will cover the most important developments this year in 
aerospace intelligent systems. Breakthroughs, setbacks, and industry 
trends that have occurred during the past year, the reasons they are 
important, and their impact on the aerospace community are also relevant.

More information on what types of aerospace systems qualify as 
intelligent is available here: 
https://info.aiaa.org/tac/isg/ISTC/Web%20Pages/What%20Is%20An%20Intelligent%20System.aspx.

Aerospace America reaches 40,000 people in a broad cross section of 
disciplines. highlights should be written so that all of them are able 
to understand the content, without acronyms if possible.

*********************************************************************
BACKGROUND:
-----------
The AIAA Intelligent Systems Technical Committee (ISTC) is concerned 
with the application of Intelligent System (IS) technologies and methods 
to aerospace systems, the verification and validation of these systems, 
and the education of the AIAA membership in the use of IS technologies 
in aerospace and other technical disciplines. See the Intelligent 
Systems Technical Committee website for more information on our 
technology focus: https://info.aiaa.org/tac/ISG/ISTC/default.aspx.

Previous years' print articles are available at 
https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/dev/profile/kyrozier/publications/#MagazineArticles. 


This year there will be two versions: a paper article with authors' 
designated hyperlink text bolded and an online article with the provided 
URL linked. Also, with author permission, all submitted highlights (not 
just the six selected for the article) will be included on the AIAA ISTC 
website and newsletter. Requests for permission and approval of 
camera-ready versions will go out on October 1, 2014.

RV 2014: 14th International Conference on Runtime Verification

September 22 - September 25, 2014, Toronto, Canada

http://rv2014.imag.fr

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

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

OVERVIEW

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

Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of software
and hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques are
important for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they are
complementary to 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.

14th Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 Workshop

http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014

24-26th September, 2014

University of Twente, Netherlands

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

Deadlines Approaching

Early registration for AVoCS 2014 closes on 1st of September!

Call for Participation

The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 is
to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members
of the international research community on tools and techniques for
the verification of critical systems. The subject is to be interpreted
broadly and inclusively. It covers all aspects of automated
verification, including model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint solving, abstract interpretation, and refinement pertaining
to various types of critical systems which need to meet stringent
dependability requirements (safety-critical, business-critical,
performance-critical, etc.). Contributions that describe different
techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged. The technical
programme will consist of invited and contributed talks and also allow
for short presentations of research ideas. The workshop will be
relatively informal, with an emphasis on discussion.

AVoCS topics include (but are not limited to)

Model Checking
Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving
SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification
Abstract Interpretation
Specification and Refinement
Requirements Capture and Analysis
Verification of Software and Hardware
Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems
Dependable Systems
Verified System Development
Industrial Applications

Thanks to Formal Methods Europe (http://www.fmeurope.org/), we offer a
financial support for students registering for AVoCS in the form of a
registration fee waiver (full or partial). Because our financial support
is limited, we ask the students that would like to take the advantage of
this support to submit a short application (deadline August 14th). The
details on how to apply can be found on the AVoCS 2014 webpage
(http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014).

AVoCS 2014 is coorganised and colocated with SPES_XT Summer School
on Model-based design and analysis of cyber-physical systems:

http://spes2020.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/summerschool2014.html

A registration reduction is offered for participants attending both
events.There are still places free for the prospective summer school 
participants.

The workshop will have three invited speakers:

Laura Kovacs (Chalmers, Sweden) will speak about automated assertion
generation.
Alastair Donaldson (Imperial College, U.K.) will speak about
verification of OpenCL kernels.
Guy Broadfoot (U.K.) will speak about fighting the battle to get
industry to adopt formal based tools.

                  Coordination Models, Languages and Applications

(SAC'15)

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

Building on the success of the fifteenth previous editions (1998-2014), a
special
track on coordination models, languages and applications will be held at
SAC 2015.
Over the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of models, formalisms
and
mechanisms to describe concurrent and distributed computations and systems
based on
the concept of coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to
enable the
integration of a number of possibly heterogeneous components (processes,
objects,
agents, services) in such a way that the resulting ensemble can execute as
a whole,
forming a distributed software system with desired characteristics and
functionalities.
This is done in terms of coordination abstractions, languages, algorithms,
mechanisms,
and middleware specifically focused on the management of component
interaction.

The coordination paradigm crosscuts a number of contemporary software
engineering
approaches and fields, which we aim to cross-fertilize and bring
contribution to,
including in particular: multi-agent systems, self-adaptative and
self-organising
systems, service-oriented architectures, component-based systems, and all
related
middleware platforms.

The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications takes
a
deliberately broad view of what constitutes coordination. Accordingly,
major topics
of interest this year will include:

   - Novel models, languages, formalisms, programming and implementation
techniques
   - Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures
   - Applications
   - Middleware platforms
   - Formal aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification)
   - Software architectures and software engineering techniques
   - Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile agents,
intelligent agents,
     and agent-based simulations
   - Internet, Web, and pervasive computing systems coordination
   - Languages for service description and composition
   - Models, frameworks and tools for Group Decision Making
   - All aspects related to Cooperative Information Systems (e.g. workflow
management,
     CSCW)
   - Configuration and Architecture Description Languages
   - Self-organising, self-adaptive and nature-inspired coordination
approaches
   - Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented,
declarative
     (functional, logic, constraint) programming or their extensions with
coordination
     capabilities
   - Coordination models and specification in Service-Oriented
Architectures, Web Service
     technologies (orchestration, choreography, etc.),Pervasive Computing
and Autonomic
     Computing
   - Policy-based approaches to coordination and self-adaptation

We also welcome papers on practical systems or novel applications that are
aimed at
reaching coordination between components and services, especially if those
systems and
novel applications challenge existing ideas and models.

In previous editions, CM Special Track organisers have been inviting
authors of selected
papers for special issues in high impact journals, such as, ACM
Transactions on Autonomous
and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) and Science of Computer Programming (SCP).

   "STRESSING rigorous, tool-based, development approaches to software 
engineering"

                   http://santos.cis.ksu.edu/STRESS/2014/


The International School on Tool-based Rigorous Engineering of Software 
Systems (STRESS)
series aims to provide top-quality lectures and innovative pedagogical 
material that
provide young researchers with:

* instruction in existing and emerging formal methods and software 
engineering techniques
that are tool-supported and process-oriented,

* insights into how software is developed in the real world, including 
emphasis on domains
such as safety/mission-critical software and embedded systems where the 
development
effort associated with tool-based formal methods promises greatest returns,

* case-studies and example domains in which formal methods have been 
successfully
transitioned into actual development along with insights in how to 
bridge the gap
between research tools and actual development processes, and

* additional pedagogical resources and personal contacts that they can 
explore for the
purpose of increasing the impact of their research.

The theme of the 2014 International School is on Software Specification, 
Verification, and
Variation. It features lecturers from academic and industry with 
significant experience in
software contract, software analysis and certification, and software 
product lines.
Lectures will emphasize the use of program analyzers and verifiers,
model-driven development and software architecture tools, and 
industry-relevant challenge
problems.

Introduction to Verification with Spark 2014
Lecturer: Yannick Moy (AdaCore)

SPARK 2014 is the latest evolution of the SPARK programming language. 
Based on Ada 2012,
it encompasses a rich subset of the language and augments it with 
further language
contracts designed to support advanced static verification techniques.

This lecture will provide a broad overview of the SPARK 2014 language: 
the subset of Ada
2012 which it includes and the additional constructs which it adds to 
support
verification. The morning session will cover basic features and static 
analysis
techniques. This will be followed by an introduction to one of the most 
novel features of
the language - the dual nature of the contracts as both executable and 
mathematical
statements and how these can be verified by testing, proof, or a 
combination of the two.

In the afternoon, the tutorial will look at more advanced language 
features that are
essential for industrial-scale specification, such as abstraction and 
refinement.
We will also look at more advanced verification techniques supported by 
the language
such as information flow analysis and proving the absence of run-time 
exceptions
(divide-by-zero, numeric overflow). Finally, we will touch on some of 
the more advanced
proof techniques that may be required.


Bakar Kiasan ? A Certifying Program Verifier for High-Integrity Systems
Lecturers: Robby (Kansas State University) and John Hatcliff (Kansas 
State University)

Software-dependent critical systems that impact daily life are rapidly 
increasing in
number, size, and complexity. Unfortunately, inadequate software and 
systems engineering
can lead to accidents that cause economic disaster, injuries or death. 
There is a growing
reliance on development and verification tools to reduce costs, better 
manage complexity,
and to increase confidence in these systems. Recent standards for 
critical systems have
an increased emphasis on characterizing the requirements of tools used 
in the
certification context and the particular certification obligations that 
these tools can
discharge. In the case of avionics, DO-333 explicitly addresses the 
role/use of formal
methods tools, e.g., allowing formal verification of code compliance to 
procedure
contracts to replace unit testing.

This lecture presents the next generation Bakar Kiasan verifier in the 
Sireum platform
(sireum.org). Bakar Kiasan is a certifying symbolic execution-based 
program verifier for
high-integrity critical systems written using the Spark 2014 safe subset 
of Ada 2012.
It checks conformance of Spark programs against their contracts and 
produce evidence for
its analysis results. For example, it produces counter-examples and test 
cases for
contract violations. In addition, Bakar Kiasan produces test cases to 
illustrate contract
satisfactions as well as machine-checkable proofs for its contract 
verifications.
The lecture will present foundations of symbolic execution, discuss how 
evidence can be
generated from symbolic execution-based analysis, and will provide 
hands-on exercises
using Bakar Kiasan to verify Spark 2014 program units.


SCCE: Variability and Evolution through Integrated Domain, Data and 
Process Modeling
Lecturers: Bernhard Steffen (TU Dortmund), Tiziana Margaria (University 
of Potsdam),
          Stefan Naujokat (TU Dortmund), and Johannes Neubauer (TU Dortmund)

Domain-specific tool support is the key towards opening development 
responsibility for
a wider public without dedicated programming knowledge. This is, for 
example, important in
areas like business process modelling or scientific workflows. The 
intention behind the
tools and methods presented in this lecture lies in providing domain 
experts with
appropriate (non-programming) tools, so that they can solve problems 
within their domain
in a non-technical way and even construct domain-specific software 
products without
dedicated programming knowledge.

In the first session of this lecture we will introduce the Dynamic Web 
Application (DyWA)
framework that supports the prototype-driven development of 
process-oriented web
applications. It is a generic, fully functional prototype that 
accompanies the development
right from the beginning, offering a web-based definition facility for 
application domains
in terms of type schemata that captures the data types and their 
associations. The session
will provide hands-on experience on domain modeling with DyWA which 
automatically
generates the (complex) modeled data structures together with their 
fully executable
access functionality.

The second session focuses on ?breathing life? into the DyWA domain 
models via the process
modeling environment jABC4. In particular, it will illustrate the power of
prototype-driven process development throughout the whole system 
lifecylce, with a focus
on system evolution and system migration.

The third session presents Cinco, a particularly powerful application of 
our process
modeling framework based on the Eclipse ecosystem. Cinco is a meta 
tooling suite for
generating domain-specific graphical development tools in terms of fully 
operative
Eclipse products. It can be regarded as a domain-specific instance of 
generic meta
modeling frameworks such as Eclipse EMF/Graphiti which radically eases 
their use through
its domain-specific focus. Cinco is an application of our process 
modeling and design
framework jABC4 as all the required transformations, be they 
model-to-model or
model-to-code, are modeled with jABC4 so that they can also be developed 
without
specific programming knowledge. Please note that Cinco is a prime 
example for
bootstrapping. It is a tool for delevoping domain-specific development 
tools that is build
with a domain-specific development tool (jABC4). Indeed, the next 
version of jABC4,
jABC5 will be constructed in this very fashion. In the hands-on tutorial 
part of this
session the participants will use Cinco to create a full graphical DSL 
modeling tool of
their choice (e.g., for State Charts, Petri Nets, BPMN, Timed Automata, 
or even
architectural models or industrial plant layouts) consisting of an 
abstract specification
describing its structure and appearance, accompanied by a code generator 
that is modeled
in jABC4 using modeling components generated from the very same 
specification.


SMT-LIB and Kind
Lecturer: Cesare Tinelli (University of Iowa)

Many problems in computer science, in particular in formal methods, can 
be reduced to
checking the satisfiability of a formula in some logic. Several of these 
problems can be
naturally formulated as Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) problems 
which are about
checking the satisfiability of first-order formulas with respect to some 
logical theory T
of interest. SMT differs from general automated deduction in that the 
background theory T
need not be finitely or even first-order axiomatizable, and specialized 
inference methods
are used for each theory. By being theory-specific and restricting their 
language to
certain classes of formulas, these specialized methods can be 
implemented in solvers that
are more efficient in practice than general-purpose theorem provers. SMT 
solvers have been
used successfully in several application ares including hardware 
verification, equivalence
checking, bounded and unbounded model checking, predicate abstraction, 
static analysis,
automated test case generation, extended static checking, and type checking.

The first session of this lecture will start with an overview of SMT and 
its applications,
followed by exercises using SMT solvers supporting the standard SMT-LIB 
input format, with
a focus on the CVC4 solver. CVC4 is a widely-used open-source SMT solver 
supporting a rich
set of logical theories including the theory of arrays, bit vectors, 
linear integer and
real arithmetic, algebraic data types and strings.

The second session will give a brief overview of model checking 
techniques relying on SMT
solvers, and show how to use the SMT-based Kind 2 model checker to prove 
invariant
properties of transition systems. Kind 2 checks multiple properties 
simultaneously by
running in parallel several model checking engines based on such 
techniques as bounded
model checking (BMC), k-induction, IC3/PDR, and automatic invariant 
generation.
The engines cooperate by exchanging information about the proven or 
disproven properties
as well as auxiliary invariants. Examples and exercises will use 
transition systems and
properties specified in the synchronous data flow language Lustre.

Stevens Institute of Technology Department of Computer Science has an open
position for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the fields of domain-specific
languages, security and privacy, and mobile technologies for health
information systems in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC).

The MEDDC project (Mobile eHealthcare Delivery for Developing Countries) is
a NIH and NSF-funded project that is developing and deploying tools for
data collection and healthcare management in LMIC.  It is affiliated with
Central Africa IEDEA (International Epidemiological Databases to Evaluate
AIDS), one of several NIH-funded projects that are engaged in data
collection and analysis as part of the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

The project has developed tools for producing data collection systems from
declarative specifications. Some of the work to be done will involve
adapting ideas from statistical and functional programming languages, to
pursue a domain-specific language approach to developing local capacity for
data analysis.

This effort has a significant software development component.  Although the
IEDEA project employs full-time software developers to support data
collection, this research work also includes software deliverables, as
described.  The development language is Java, but the applicant will
preferably also have experience with, and enthusiasm for, functional
programming languages such as Haskell and some of its domain-specific
derivatives.  Research opportunities include the adaptation of concepts
from functional programming languages to build local capacity for medical
and epidemiological analysis in LMIC,  as well as the investigation of
security and privacy issues in the collection and analysis of patient
health information.

For further information, please contact Professor Dominic Duggan (
dduggan at stevens.edu, dd at dominicduggan.org).  Applications for the position
should be submitted via this Web site:

https://www2.apply2jobs.com/Stevens/ProfExt/index.cfm?fuseaction=mExternal.showJob&RID=10446&CurrentPage=1


Applicants for the position should also forward a copy of their application

THEME

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission- and safety-critical systems require advanced techniques that address their specification, verification, validation, and certification.

The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is a forum for theoreticians and practitioners from academia, industry, and government, with the goals of identifying challenges and providing solutions to achieving assurance in mission- and safety-critical systems. Within NASA such systems include for example autonomous robots, separation assurance algorithms for aircraft, Next Generation Air Transportation (NextGen), and autonomous rendezvous and docking for spacecraft. Moreover, emerging paradigms such as property-based design, code generation, and safety cases are bringing with them new challenges and opportunities. The focus of the symposium will be on formal techniques, their theory, current capabilities, and limitations, as well as their application to aerospace, robotics, and other mission- and safety-critical systems in all design life-cycle stages. We encourage submissions on cross-cutting approaches marrying formal verification techniques with advances in critical system development, such as requirements generation, analysis of aerospace operational concepts, and formal methods integrated in early design stages and carrying throughout system development.

** REGISTRATION **
19 September 2014 (Early Deadline)
Contact: info at splashcon.org
http://2014.splashcon.org/attending/registration


** CONFERENCE PROGRAM **
http://2014.splashcon.org/program/program-splash2014


** KEYNOTE Speakers **
Gary McGraw (Cigital): Software Security ? A Study in Technology Transfer
Peter Norvig (Google): Machine Learning for Programming
Bret Victor (WorryDream): Humane Representation of Thought: A Trail Map for the 21st Century

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-keynotes


** 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).

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/oopsla2014


** 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.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/onward2014-papers


** 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.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/onward2014-essays


** 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.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/dls14-papers


** Wavefront **
The SPLASH Wavefront track is looking for presentations and technology talks of interest to the software community, particularly to software professionals working in companies large and small. Wavefront is a forum for presenting experience reports and tutorials about innovative tools, technologies, and software practices.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-wavefront


** Panels **
The Panels track offers exciting discussion about topics related to SPLASH.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-panels


** SPLASH-E **
The SPLASH-E track brings together researchers and educators to share educational results, ideas, and challenges centered in Software and Programming Languages. Submission formats vary, including papers, tool demos, lightning talks, challenge-topics for discussion, and suggested themes for "unconference" sessions.  Help us create an engaging forum for educational issues related to SPLASH!

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-splash-e


** Artifacts **
The Artifact Evaluation process is a service provided by the community to help authors of accepted papers provide more substantial supplements to their papers so future researchers can more effectively build on and compare with previous work. The Artifact Evaluation Committee has been formed to assess how well paper authors prepare artifacts in support of such future researchers. Roughly, authors of papers who wish to participate are invited to submit an artifact that supports the conclusions of the paper. 

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-artifacts


** Workshops **
The SPLASH Workshops track will host a variety of high-quality workshops (14 in total), allowing their participants to meet and discuss research questions with peers, to mature new and exciting ideas, and to build up communities and start new collaborations. SPLASH workshops complement the main tracks of the conference and provide meetings in a smaller and more specialized setting. Workshops cultivate new ideas and concepts for the future, optionally recorded in formal proceedings.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-workshops


** Tutorials **
The SPLASH Tutorials track will consist of prestigious tutorials on current topics in software, systems, and languages research. The scope of the tutorials is the same as the conference itself: all aspects of software construction and delivery at the intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. The tutorials in particular focus on the nexus between research and practice, including work that takes inspiration from or builds connections to areas not commonly considered at SPLASH. Tutorials should introduce researchers to current research in an area, or show important new tools that can be used in research.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-tutorials


** Demos **
The SPLASH Demonstrations track is an excellent vehicle for sharing your latest work with an experienced and technically savvy audience. Live demonstrations show the impact of software innovation. Demonstrations are not product sales pitches, but rather an opportunity to highlight, explain, and present interesting technical aspects of running applications in a dynamic and highly interactive setting. Presenters are encouraged to actively solicit feedback from the audience, which should lead to very interesting and entertaining demonstration sessions.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-demos


** Posters **
The SPLASH Poster track provides an excellent forum for authors to present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any aspect of programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of the poster session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact. It is held early in the conference, to promote continued discussion among interested parties. Posters can be independent presentations or associated with one of the other parts of SPLASH. 

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-posters


** Doctoral Symposium **
The SPLASH Doctoral Symposium provides students with useful guidance for completing their dissertation research and beginning their research careers. The Symposium will provide an interactive forum for doctoral students who have progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal, but will not be defending their dissertation in the next 12 months.

http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-ds


** Student Research Competition **
The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition (ACM SRC) is an internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and SPLASH attendees. The competition has separate categories for undergraduate and graduate students and awards prizes to the top three students in each category. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition shares the Poster session?s goal to facilitate interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing both sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research.

CALL FOR PAPERS

26th SYMPOSIUM ON IMPLEMENTATION AND APPLICATION OF FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES - IFL 2014

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY/BOSTON, USA

OCTOBER 1-3, 2014

http://ifl2014.github.io

We are pleased to announce that the 26th edition of the IFL series
will be held at Northeastern University in Boston, USA. The symposium
will be held from 1st to 3rd of October 2014.

Scope
-----

The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively
engaged in the implementation and application of functional and
function-based programming languages.  IFL 2014 will be a venue for
researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in
progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation
and application of functional languages and function-based
programming.

Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2014 will use a post-symposium review
process to produce the formal proceedings. All participants of IFL
2014 are invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended
abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium. At no time
may work submitted to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues;
submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy:

    http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication

The submissions will be screened by the program committee chair to
make sure they are within the scope of IFL, and will appear in the
draft proceedings distributed at the symposium. Submissions appearing
in the draft proceedings are not peer-reviewed publications. Hence,
publications that appear only in the draft proceedings do not count as
publication for the ACM SIGPLAN republication policy. After the
symposium, authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate the
feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be invited to
submit a revised full article for the formal review process. From the
revised submissions, the program committee will select papers for the
formal proceedings considering their correctness, novelty,
originality, relevance, significance, and clarity.

                         ===  Call for Papers ===

Conference: International Symposium on Engineering Secure Software and
             Systems (ESSoS)
Date:       March 4 - 6, 2015
Venue:      Milan, Italy
Website:    https://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/essos/2015/
Deadlines:  Abstract submission (September 8, 2014)
            Paper submission (September 15, 2014)

In cooperation with: (pending) ACM SIGSAC and SIGSOFT and IEEE CS (TCSP).

== Context and motivation ==

Trustworthy, secure software is a core ingredient of the modern
world. So is the Internet. Hostile, networked environments, like the
Internet, can allow vulnerabilities in software to be exploited from
anywhere. To address this, high-quality security building blocks
(e.g., cryptographic components) are necessary, but insufficient.
Indeed, the construction of secure software is challenging because of
the complexity of modern applications, the growing sophistication of
security requirements, the multitude of available software
technologies and the progress of attack vectors. Clearly, a strong
need exists for engineering techniques that scale well and that
demonstrably improve the software's security properties.

== Goal and setup ==

The goal of this symposium, which will be the sixth in the series, is
to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the states
of the art and practice in secure software engineering. Being one of
the few conference-level events dedicated to this topic, it
explicitly aims to bridge the software engineering and security
engineering communities, and promote cross-fertilization. The
symposium will feature two days of technical program. In addition to
academic papers, the symposium encourages submission of high-quality,
informative industrial experience papers about successes and failures
in security software engineering and the lessons learned.
Furthermore, the symposium also accepts short idea papers that
crisply describe a promising direction, approach, or insight.

== Topics ==

Paper submissions are solicited in all areas relating to secure
software and secure systems research, including but not limited to:

 - Cloud security, virtualization for security
 - Mobile devices security
 - Automated techniques for vulnerability discovery and analysis
 - Model checking for security
 - Binary code analysis, reverse-engineering
 - Programming paradigms, models, and domain-specific languages for
    security
 - Operating system security
 - Verification techniques for security properties
 - Malware: detection, analysis, mitigation
 - Security in critical infrastructures
 - Security economics
 - Security by design
 - Static and dynamic code analysis for security
 - Web applications security
 - Program rewriting techniques for security
 - Security measurements
 - Empirical secure software engineering
 - Security-oriented software reconfiguration and evolution
 - Computer forensics
 - Processes for the development of secure software and systems
 - Human-computer interaction for security
 - Security testing
 - Embedded software security

== Important dates ==

Abstract submission: September 8, 2014	
Paper submission: September 15, 2014
Demo submission: October 24, 2014
Author notification: November 17, 2014
Camera-ready: December 7, 2014

== Submission and format ==

The proceedings of the symposium are published by Springer-Verlag in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series
(http://www.springer.com/lncs). Submissions should follow the
formatting instructions of Springer LNCS. Submitted papers must
present original, non-published work of high quality.

For selected papers, there will be an invitation to submit extended
versions to a special issue in the International Journal of
Information Security.

Two types of papers will be accepted:
Full papers (max 14 pages without bibliography/appendices) - May
describe original technical research with a solid foundation, such as
formal analysis or experimental results, with acceptance determined
mostly based on novelty and validation. Or, may describe case studies
applying existing techniques or analysis methods in industrial
settings, with acceptance determined mostly by the general
applicability of techniques and the completeness of the technical
presentation details.

Idea papers (max 8 pages with bibliography) - May crisply describe a
novel idea that is both feasible and interesting, where the idea may
range from a variant of an existing technique all the way to a vision
for the future of security technology. Idea papers allow authors to
introduce ideas to the field and get feedback, while allowing for
later publication of complete, fully-developed results. Submissions
will be judged primarily on novelty, excitement, and exposition, but
feasibility is required, and acceptance will be unlikely without some
basic, principled validation (e.g., extrapolation from limited
experiments or simple formal analysis). In the proceedings, idea
papers will clearly identified by means of the "Idea" tag in the
title.

== Demo Session Submission ==

This year we are planning to include a demonstration session in the
symposium. If you are working on practical solutions to
industrial-relevant problems in key areas of ESSOS, consider
disseminating about your experience at our demonstration session. To
be considered for presentation, a proposal describing the
demonstration should be mailed to the Industry Chair, Luca Compagna
(luca.compagna at sap.com). The following type of submission will be
accepted:

Demo presentation (short description, max 4 pages, not published in
proceedings) - May shortly describe (i) the overall problem, (ii) the
architecture underlying the system demonstrated, and (iii) one or
more use case scenarios that present how the audience will gain an
understanding of the underlying technology.

Submissions will be evaluated based on the motivation of the work
behind the use of the system to be demonstrated and its novelty. Demo
presentations will not be included in the formal proceeding of ESSOS.

Les JFLA r?unissent concepteurs, utilisateurs et th?oriciens ; elles
ont pour ambition de couvrir les domaines des langages applicatifs, de
la preuve formelle, et des objets math?matiques qui sous-tendent ces
outils. Ces domaines doivent ?tre pris au sens large : nous souhaitons
promouvoir les ponts entre les diff?rentes th?matiques. 

. Langages fonctionnels et applicatifs : s?mantique, compilation,
  optimisation, typage, mesures, extensions par d'autres paradigmes.

. Assistants de preuve : impl?mentation, nouvelles tactiques,
  d?veloppements pr?sentant un int?r?t technique ou m?thodologique.

. Logique, correspondance de Curry-Howard, r?alisabilit?, extraction
  de programmes, mod?les.

. Sp?cification, prototypage, d?veloppements formels d'algorithmes.

. Utilisation industrielle des langages fonctionnels et applicatifs,
  ou des m?thodes issues des preuves formelles, outils pour le web.

Les articles soumis aux JFLA sont relus par au moins deux personnes
s'ils sont accept?s, trois personnes s'ils sont rejet?s. Les critiques
des relecteurs sont toujours bienveillantes et la plupart du temps
encourageantes et constructives, m?me en cas de rejet.

Enfin, un soutien financier pourra ?tre apport? ? certains ?tudiants
pour faciliter leur venue.

Il n'y a donc pas de raison de ne pas soumettre aux JFLA !

Aims and Scope:

There is an increasing demand in industry to use formal methods to
achieve software-independent verification and validation of
safety-critical systems, e.g., in fields such as avionics, automotive,
medical, and other cyber-physical systems. Newer standards, such as
DO-178C (avionics) and ISO 26262 (automotive), emphasize the need for
formal methods and model-based development, speeding up the
adaptation of such methods in industry.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers
who are interested in the application of formal and semi-formal methods
to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. In
particular, FTSCS strives to promote research and development of
formal methods and tools for industrial applications, and is particularly
interested in industrial applications of formal methods.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods for
analyzing safety-critical systems, including avionics, automotive,
medical, and other kinds of safety-critical and QoS-critical systems
* methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis,
certification, debugging, etc., of complex safety/QoS-critical systems
* analysis methods that address the limitations of formal methods in
industry (usability, scalability, etc.)
* formal analysis support for modeling languages used in industry,
such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE, Modelica, etc.
* code generation from validated models.

The workshop will provide a platform for discussions and the exchange of
innovative ideas, so submissions on work in progress are encouraged.


Submission:

We solicit submissions reporting on:

A- original research contributions (15 pages max, LNCS format);
B- applications and experiences (15 pages max, LNCS format);
C- surveys, comparisons, and state-of-the-art reports (15 pages max, LNCS);
D- tool papers (5 pages max, LNCS format);
E- position papers and work in progress (5 pages max, LNCS format)

related to the topics mentioned above.


All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
concurrently for publication elsewhere. Paper submission is done
via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ftscs2014.
The final version of the paper must be prepared in LaTeX, adhering to
the LNCS format available at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0.

ACM SIGPLAN 2015 WORKSHOP ON PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION
Tue-Wed, January 13-14, 2015, Mumbai, India, co-located with POPL'15

Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

SCOPE

The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims at bringing together
researchers and practitioners working in the areas of program
manipulation, partial evaluation, and program generation.  PEPM
focuses on techniques, theory, tools, and applications of analysis
and manipulation of programs.

The 2015 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad interpretation of
semantics-based program manipulation and continue last years'
successful effort to expand the scope of PEPM significantly beyond the
traditionally covered areas of partial evaluation and specialization
and include practical applications of program transformations such as
refactoring tools, and practical implementation techniques such as
rule-based transformation systems.  In addition, the scope of PEPM
covers manipulation and transformations of program and system
representations such as structural and semantic models that occur in
the context of model-driven development.  In order to reach out to
practitioners, a separate category of tool demonstration papers will
be solicited.

Topics of interest for PEPM'15 include, but are not limited to:

* Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation,
  partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active
  libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic execution,
  refactoring, decompilation, and obfuscation.

* Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model
  manipulation  such as: abstract interpretation, termination
  checking, binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems,
  automated testing and test case generation.

* Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including
  metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific
  languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming,
  staged computation, and model-driven program generation and
  transformation.

* Application of the above techniques including case studies of
  program manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source)
  projects and software development processes, descriptions of robust
  tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications,
  benchmarking.  Examples of application domains include legacy
  program understanding and transformation, DSL implementations,
  visual languages and end-user programming, scientific computing,
  middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed and
  web-based applications, resource-limited computation, and security.

To maintain the dynamic and interactive nature of PEPM, we will
continue the category of `short papers' for tool demonstrations and
for presentations of exciting if not fully polished research, and of
interesting academic, industrial and open-source applications that are
new or unfamiliar.

Student participants with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC
grant to help cover travel expenses and other support. 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
at: http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm.

All accepted papers, short papers included, will appear in formal
proceedings published by ACM Press.  Accepted papers will be included
in the ACM Digital Library.  Following the practice of recent PEPMs,
A special issue for Science of Computer Programming is planned with
recommended papers from PEPM'15.

PEPM has also established a Best Paper award.  The winner will be
announced at the workshop.

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES AND GUIDELINES

Regular Research Papers must not exceed 12 pages in ACM Proceedings
style (including appendix).  Tool demonstration papers and short papers
must not exceed 6 pages in ACM Proceedings style (including appendix).
At least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the
workshop and present the work.  In the case of tool demonstration
papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected.
Suggested topics, evaluation criteria, and writing guidelines for both
research tool demonstration papers will be made available on the
PEPM'15 Web-site soon.  Papers should be submitted electronically via
the workshop web site.

Authors using LaTeX to prepare their submissions should use the new
improved SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls, 9pt template)
available at: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author.

IMPORTANT DATES

    Abstract submission: Tue, September 9, 2014
    Paper submission: Fri, September 12, 2014 (*FIRM*)
    Author notification: Mon, October 13, 2014
    Workshop: Tue, January 13 and Wed, January 14, 2015

Note: The paper submission deadline is firm.  Because the VISA
application to India can take a long time, all the schedule is set
earlier than previous years.  The above schedule is tight: we have
absolutely no time to wait for late submissions and we will have no
deadline extension.  So, please plan ahead.

        ACM SAC 2015

For the past thirty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied
Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer
scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application
developers from around the world. SAC 2015 is sponsored by the ACM
Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is held at
Salamanca (Spain).


        SOAP TRACK: CALL FOR PAPERS

Service-Oriented Programming (SOP) is quickly changing our vision of
software development, bringing a paradigmatic shift in the methodologies
followed  by programmers when designing and implementing distributed
systems. SOP originally triggered a radical transformation of the Web,
from  being a means  of presenting information to a wide spectrum of people
to becoming a computational fabric. In such fabric, loosely-coupled
services
publish their interfaces and,  through them, discover and interact with
each
other abstracting from their internal  implementations. While this
transformation still continues today, it has also already generated other
shifts in how programmers deal with  resource handling (Cloud Computing)
and
the scalability of software  architectures from the very small to the very
large (Microservices).  Research on SOP is giving strong impetus to the
development of new  technologies and tools for creating and deploying
distributed software. In the context of this modern paradigm we have to
cope with an old challenge, like in the early days of  Object-Oriented
Programming (OOP) when, until key features like  encapsulation,
inheritance,
and polymorphism, and proper design  methodologies were defined,
consistency
in the programming model definition was not achieved. The complex scenario
of
SOP needs to be  clarified on many aspects, both from the engineering and
from the foundational points of view.

>From the engineering point of view, there are open issues at many
levels. Among others, at the system design level, both traditional
approaches based on UML and approaches taking inspiration from
business process modelling, e.g. BPMN, are used. At the composition
level, orchestration and choreography are continuously improved both
formally and practically, with an evident need for their integration in
the development process. At the description and discovery level there are
two separate communities pushing respectively the semantic approach
(ontologies,
OWL, ...) and the syntactic one like WSDL. In  particular, the role of
discovery
engines and protocols is not clear.  In this respect we still lack adopted
standards: UDDI looked to be a  good candidate, but it is no longer pushed
by
the main corporations, and its wide adoption seems difficult. Furthermore,
a new
implementation platform, the so-called REST services, is emerging and
competing with classic Web Services. Finally, features like Quality
of Service, security and dependability need to be taken seriously
into account, and this investigation should lead to standard
proposals.

>From the foundational point of view, formalists have discussed widely
in the last years, and many attempts to use formal methods for
specification and verification in this setting have been made.
Session correlation, service types, contract theories and
communication patterns are only a few examples of the aspects that
have been investigated. Moreover, several formal models based upon
automata, Petri nets and algebraic approaches have been developed.
However most of these approaches concentrate only on a few features
of Service-Oriented Systems in isolation, and a comprehensive approach
is still far from being achieved.

Our track aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners
having the common objective of transforming SOP into a mature
discipline with both solid scientific foundations and mature
software engineering development methodologies supported by dedicated
tools. In particular, we will encourage works and discussions about
what SOP still needs in order to achieve its original goal.


Major topics of interest will include:

Formal methods for Service-Oriented Computing
Notations, models, and standards for Service-Oriented Computing
Tools and Middlewares for Service-Oriented Development
Service-Oriented Programming Languages
Service Choreographies and Protocol-Driven Service Development
Service Interfaces and Communication Technologies (e.g., REST)
Microservices and Scalable Service-Oriented Computing
Engineering methodologies and Patterns for Service-Oriented Software
Static Analysis and Testing of Service-Oriented applications
Adaptability, Dependability, and Fault handling in Service Systems
Security in Service-Oriented Architectures

Industrial deployment of tools and methodologies, case studies
Service application case studies
Trust and Services
Sustainability and Services, Green Computing
Cloud Computing and Services
Services and Big Data




        SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers. Submission
of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed. Peer groups with
expertise in the track focus area will double-blindly review
submissions. Accepted papers will be published in the annual
conference proceedings. SOAP track chairs will not submit to the
track. Submissions from SOAP PC members and from PC members and track
chairs of other SAC tracks are welcome. Submission guidelines
can be found on SAC 2015 Website:

http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/

The submission web-link (START system) for regular papers is

http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/Paper-SubmissionUploadPage.htm

Prospective papers should be submitted to the track using the provided
automated submission system. Please pay attention to ensure anonymity
of your submitted manuscript as detailed in the submission page so to
allow for double-blind review. Papers not satisfying this constraint
will be automatically rejected. The maximum length for papers is 8
pages. Accepted papers whose camera-ready version will exceed 6 pages
will have to pay an extra charge.

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster
in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST
present
the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included
in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters
will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library.


        SPECIAL ISSUE

We plan to organize one or two special issues depending on the quality of
the submissions. Best papers will be invited to a special issue of
Elsevier?s
Science of Computer Programming

http://www.journals.elsevier.com/science-of-computer-programming/

Best papers by young researchers will be invited to a special issue of the
Journal of Internet Services and Information Security

http://www.jisis.org/


        STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION PROGRAM

Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts (minimum of
2-page and maximum of 4-page) following the instructions published at

CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS (Deadline September 19!)

ACM SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop, Mumbai, India

Wednesday, January 14, 2015

Co-located with POPL 2015

PLMW web page: http://plmw15.iisc-seal.net/

After the resounding success of the first three Programming Languages
Mentoring Workshops at POPL 2012, 2013, and 2014, we proudly announce
the 4th SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW),
co-located with POPL 2015 and organised by Derek Dreyer, Aditya Kanade,
Ruzica Piskac, Alan Schmitt, and Ross Tate.

The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to encourage graduate students
and senior undergraduate students to pursue careers in programming
language research. This workshop will provide technical sessions on
cutting-edge research in programming languages, and mentoring sessions
on how to prepare for a research career. We will bring together leaders
in programming language research from academia and industry to give
talks on their research areas. The workshop will engage students in
a process of imagining how they might contribute to our research
community.

So far, we have the following speakers confirmed to speak at the
workshop, and we expect about 7 additional speakers as well:

- Adam Chlipala (MIT)
- Sumit Gulwani (Microsoft Research)
- Mike Hicks (University of Maryland, College Park)
- Shriram Krishnamurthi (Brown)
- Matt Might (University of Utah)

We especially encourage women and underrepresented minority students to
attend PLMW.

This workshop is part of the activities surrounding POPL, the Symposium
on Principles of Programming Languages, and takes place the day before
the main conference. One goal of the workshop is to make the POPL
conference more accessible to newcomers. We hope that participants will
stay through the entire conference.

A number of sponsors (listed below) have generously donated scholarship
funds for qualified students to attend PLMW. These scholarships should
cover reasonable expenses (airfare, hotel, and registration fees) for
attendance at both the workshop and the POPL conference.

Students attending this year will get one year free student membership
of SIGPLAN, unless they prefer to opt out during their application.

The workshop registration is open to all. Students with alternative
sources of funding are welcome.

APPLICATION for PLMW scholarship:

The scholarship application can be accessed from the workshop web site
(http://plmw15.iisc-seal.net/application). The deadline for full
consideration of funding is FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. Selected participants
will be notified by OCTOBER 1 or earlier, and will need to pre-register
for the workshop (i.e. declare intent to attend) by OCTOBER 10.  Note
the early date!!

The reason for this early pre-registration has to do with obtaining
visas for travel to India.  To apply for a ?conference visa?, all
attendees of POPL and PLMW must register their intent to attend the
event by October 10.  More details concerning the visa application
process will be provided soon.

Call for Participation

14th Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 Workshop

http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014

24-26th September, 2014

University of Twente, Netherlands

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

Final Call for Participation

The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2014 is
to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members
of the international research community on tools and techniques for
the verification of critical systems. The subject is to be interpreted
broadly and inclusively. It covers all aspects of automated
verification, including model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint solving, abstract interpretation, and refinement pertaining
to various types of critical systems which need to meet stringent
dependability requirements (safety-critical, business-critical,
performance-critical, etc.). Contributions that describe different
techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged. The technical
programme will consist of invited and contributed talks and also allow
for short presentations of research ideas. The workshop will be
relatively informal, with an emphasis on discussion.

AVoCS topics include (but are not limited to)

Model Checking
Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving
SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification
Abstract Interpretation
Specification and Refinement
Requirements Capture and Analysis
Verification of Software and Hardware
Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems
Dependable Systems
Verified System Development
Industrial Applications

Thanks to Formal Methods Europe (http://www.fmeurope.org/), we offer a
financial support for students registering for AVoCS in the form of a
registration fee waiver (full or partial). Because our financial support
is limited, we ask the students that would like to take the advantage of
this support to submit a short application (deadline August 14th). The
details on how to apply can be found on the AVoCS 2014 webpage
(http://www.utwente.nl/avocs2014).

AVoCS 2014 is coorganised and colocated with SPES_XT Summer School
on Model-based design and analysis of cyber-physical systems:

http://spes2020.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/summerschool2014.html

A registration reduction is offered for participants attending both
events. There are still places free for the prospective summer school
participants.

Important Dates (Early registration expired)

Early registration: 1st September 2014
Workshop: 24-26th September 2014 (2.5 days, ends 26th lunchtime)

Registration and Hotel Details

All the details on how to register and pay are to be found at the

Invited Speakers

The workshop will have three invited speakers:

* Laura Kov?cs (Chalmers, Sweden) will speak about "Symbol
Elimination for Automated Generation of Program Properties"
Abstract: Automatic understanding of the intended meaning of
computer programs is a very hard problem, requiring intelligence
and reasoning. In this talk we describe applications of our symbol
elimination methods in automated proram analysis. Symbol
elimination uses first-order theorem proving techniques in
conjunction with symbolic computation methods, and derives
nontrivial program properties, such as loop invariants and
loopbounds, in a fully automatic way. Moreover, symbol elimination
can be used as analternative to interpolation for software
verification.

* Alastair Donaldson (Imperial College, U.K.) will speak about "Static
Verification for GPU Kernels"
Abstract: Graphics processing units (GPUs) are nowadays commonly
used to accelerate general purpose computations. Because GPUs are
massively parallel they can be hard to program correctly, and
suffer from concurrency-related defects including data races. In
the GPUVerify project we have been interested in applying static
verification techniques to GPU kernels (the pieces of code that
execute on GPU devices) in order to automatically find or prove
absence of data races. I will describe the method we have designed
to obtain an analysis method for parallel GPU kernels that scales
to large numbers of threads, and will demo the GPUVerify tool in
action on a number of examples. I will then discuss open problems
for research in the area of reliability of data-parallel software.
For an introduction to GPUVerify check out this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8ysBPV8OvA.

This is joint work with current and previous members of the
Multicore Programming Group at Imperial College London, and with
Shaz Qadeer at Microsoft Research.

* Guy Broadfoot (U.K.) will speak about "The highs and lows of
deploying Formal Methods in Industry".
Abstract: I attended my first software conference in 1968; it was
organised by NATO with the title "The Software Crisis." Many of the
papers presented then could have been written yesterday; the
problems of the software industry in producing reliable, correct
software in the face of increasing complexity and shrinking time to
market pressures have not fundamentally changed that much.

In the intervening years as a community we have developed various
tactics for trying to minimise software errors. Advances in theorem
proving and model checking are good examples of systematic efforts
to improve software correctness. Nevertheless, it remains the case
that such approaches are rarely if ever encountered in the
industrial workplace, with the possible exception of some safety
critical domains, such as the software controlling nuclear power
plants.

In spite advances in formal methods and supporting tools, the tools
available to programmers for verifying assertions about program
execution are complex and require knowledge and skills that most
practicing programmers do not have. Formal proofs remain difficult
to construct, especially for anything but the simplest of programs.
Merely constructing assertions to characterise program correctness
is a difficult challenge.

In 1998, I conceived the idea of combing model checking, code
generation and the specification approach of Sequence-based
Specification together to form an integrated software design
platform for developing software components whose design
(implementation) would be formally verified for correctness with
respect to its specification. Other general correctness properties
such as freedom from deadlocks, non-determinism, incomplete cases,
etc. would also be verified. Verification would be performed by
automatically translating Sequence-based specifications into
semantically equivalent CSP process algebra and then applying the
model-checking engine FDR2. After verification was completed,
semantically equivalent source code would be generated in one
of several supported high-level languages.

These ideas were developed further together with Philippa Hopcroft
and in 2003 a company was founded to develop a commercial
implementation of a development platform based on these ideas. In
this talk, I will present an overview of the development platform
and the technologies used. I will then discuss the experience
gained during 10 years of trying to introduce this approach into
industry and the lessons learned along the way.

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.

The symposium  is devoted  to foundational and  practical issues  in programming
languages and systems.

- SAC 2015

For the past twenty-night years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has
been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers,
software engineers, and application developers from around the world.

SAC 2015 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP),
and will be held at the University of Salamanca, Spain.

- Call For Student Research Abstracts:

Graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas
are invited to submit original abstracts of their research work in areas of experimental
computing and application development related to SAC 2015 Tracks. The Student Research
Competition (SRC) program is designed to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet
and exchange ideas with researcher and practitioners in their areas of interest.

- OOPS Track

Object-oriented programming (OOP) has become the mainstream programming paradigm for
developing complex software systems in most application domains.

However, existing OO languages and platforms need to evolve to meet the continuous
demand for new abstractions, features, and tools able to reduce the time, effort, and
cost of creating object-oriented software systems, and improving their performance, quality
and usability.

To this aim, OOPS is seeking for research advances bringing benefits in all those typical
aspects of software development, such as modeling, prototyping, design, implementation,
concurrency and distribution, code generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation,
deployment, maintenance, reuse, and software evolution and adaptation.

The specific OO related topics of interest for the OOPS track include, but are not limited to,
the following:


*    Aspects and components
*    Code generation, and optimization, just-in-time compilation
*    Context-oriented programming
*    Databases and persistence
*    Distribution and concurrency
*    Dynamic and scripting languages
*    Evaluation
*    Feature Oriented Software Development and Programming
*    Formal verification
*    Integration with other paradigms
*    Interoperability, versioning and software evolution and adaptation
*    Language design and implementation
*    Modular and generic programming
*    Reflection, meta-programming
*    Runtime verification
*    Secure and dependable software
*    Static analysis
*    Testing and debugging
*    Type systems and type inference
*    Virtual machines


OOPS offers a great opportunity to the OOP community to gain visibility, and to
exploit the inter-disciplinary nature of SAC.

- Submission Instructions

Prospective papers should be submitted to the track in pdf format using the START submission system
for regular papers (http://oldwww.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/Paper-SubmissionUploadPage.htm) or
SRC papers (http://oldwww.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/SRC-SubmissionUploadPage.htm)

Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed; all papers should represent original and
previously unpublished works that are currently not under review in any conference or journal.
Both basic and applied research papers are welcome.

SAC 2015 will use double-blind reviewing; to facilitate this, author name(s) and institution(s) must 
be omitted, and references to authors' own related work should be in the third person.

The format of the paper must adhere to the sig-alternate style 
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)
Full papers are limited to 6 pages with the option for up to 2 additional pages at extra charge (80 
USD per page).
Posters are limited to 3 pages with the option for up to 1 additional page at extra charge (80 USD).

Papers that fall short the above requirements are subjected to rejection.
All papers must be submitted by *September 26,  2014 (extended deadline)*.
For more information please visit the SAC 2015 Website (http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015).

- Proceedings

Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the annual conference proceedings. Accepted posters will be
published as extended abstracts in the same proceedings.

Please note that full registration is required for papers and posters to be included in the conference
proceedings and CD. Papers and posters NOT presented at conference will NOT be included in the ACM 
digital
library. Student registration is only intended to encourage student attendance and does not cover 
inclusion
of papers/posters in the conference proceedings.

Finally, following the tradition of the past OOPS editions, depending on the quality and the overall 
number
of accepted papers, after the conference authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an 
extended version for a journal
special issue.

Deadline extended until 15 September, 2014.

== CALL FOR PAPERS ==================================================
2nd special session on FORmal approaches to PArallel and Distributed systems (4PAD 2015)
Turku, Finland, 4-6 March 2015
(special session of PDP 2015)
http://www.pdp2015.org/specialsessions/formalhpc/index.html
=====================================================================


Important dates
===============
Paper submission: 15th Sept 2014
Acceptance notification: 25th Oct 2014
Camera ready due: 10th Nov 2014
Conference: 4th - 6th Mar 2015

Scope
=====
The aim of 4PAD is to foster interaction between the formal methods communities
and systems researchers working on topics in modern parallel, distributed, and
network-based processing systems (e.g., autonomous computing systems, cloud
computing systems, service-oriented systems and parallel computing
architectures).

Topics
=====
We solicit papers in all areas of the above mentioned systems, including (but not limited to):
- Rigorous software engineering approaches and their tool support;
- Model-based approaches, including model-driven development;
- Service- and component-based approaches;
- Semantics, types and logics;
- Formal specification and verification;
- Performance analysis based on formal approaches;
- Formal aspects of programming paradigms and languages;
- Formal approaches to parallel architectures and weak memory models;
- Formal approaches to deployment, run-time analysis, adaptation/evolution, reconfiguration, and monitoring;
- Case studies developed/analyzed with formal approaches;
- Formal stochastic models and analysis;
- Formal methods for large-scale distributed systems;
- Statistical analysis techniques based on formal approaches.


Submission guidelines
================
Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the
IEEE Conference proceedings format
(http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html,
IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt). Additional details and proofs omitted due to
space limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix.

Submitted papers must describe work unpublished in refereed venues, and not
submitted for publication elsewhere.

4PAD will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process (following
several recent conferences, for example, POPL http://popl.mpi-sws.org/2014/).
To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules:
- author names and institutions must be omitted, and
- references to authors' own related work should be in the third person (e.g.,
 not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the work of
 ...").

The purpose of this is to help the PC and external reviewers come to an initial
judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to
discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of
anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper
more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized, and submitted papers may be posted to author web pages etc. as
usual).

Proceedings
==========
Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society in the same volume as
the main track. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present
their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will be indexed, among
others, by IEEE explore, DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.

Special Issue
==========
Selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the
Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming
(http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-logical-and-algebraic-methods-in-programming)

Subject: [TYPES/announce] [ESSoS] Call for Papers (update)
Message-ID: <540EE7EB.2090808@cs.kuleuven.be>

                         ===  Call for Papers ===

Update:
The paper submission deadline (Sep 15) for ESSOS 2015 will *not* be
extended, but due to some requests, paper submissions for which no
abstract has been received yet, are still allowed.
Authors are encouraged to submit an abstract as soon as possible, but a
paper can be submitted until the paper submission deadline even if no
abstract was submitted first.


Conference: International Symposium on Engineering Secure Software and
             Systems (ESSoS)
Date:       March 4 - 6, 2015
Venue:      Milan, Italy
Website:    https://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/essos/2015/
Deadlines:  Paper submission (September 15, 2014)

In cooperation with: (pending) ACM SIGSAC and SIGSOFT and IEEE CS (TCSP).

== Context and motivation ==

Trustworthy, secure software is a core ingredient of the modern
world. So is the Internet. Hostile, networked environments, like the
Internet, can allow vulnerabilities in software to be exploited from
anywhere. To address this, high-quality security building blocks
(e.g., cryptographic components) are necessary, but insufficient.
Indeed, the construction of secure software is challenging because of
the complexity of modern applications, the growing sophistication of
security requirements, the multitude of available software
technologies and the progress of attack vectors. Clearly, a strong
need exists for engineering techniques that scale well and that
demonstrably improve the software's security properties.

== Goal and setup ==

The goal of this symposium, which will be the sixth in the series, is
to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the states
of the art and practice in secure software engineering. Being one of
the few conference-level events dedicated to this topic, it
explicitly aims to bridge the software engineering and security
engineering communities, and promote cross-fertilization. The
symposium will feature two days of technical program. In addition to
academic papers, the symposium encourages submission of high-quality,
informative industrial experience papers about successes and failures
in security software engineering and the lessons learned.
Furthermore, the symposium also accepts short idea papers that
crisply describe a promising direction, approach, or insight.

== Topics ==

Paper submissions are solicited in all areas relating to secure
software and secure systems research, including but not limited to:

 - Cloud security, virtualization for security
 - Mobile devices security
 - Automated techniques for vulnerability discovery and analysis
 - Model checking for security
 - Binary code analysis, reverse-engineering
 - Programming paradigms, models, and domain-specific languages for
    security
 - Operating system security
 - Verification techniques for security properties
 - Malware: detection, analysis, mitigation
 - Security in critical infrastructures
 - Security economics
 - Security by design
 - Static and dynamic code analysis for security
 - Web applications security
 - Program rewriting techniques for security
 - Security measurements
 - Empirical secure software engineering
 - Security-oriented software reconfiguration and evolution
 - Computer forensics
 - Processes for the development of secure software and systems
 - Human-computer interaction for security
 - Security testing
 - Embedded software security

== Important dates ==

Abstract submission: September 8, 2014 (Not longer required)
Paper submission: September 15, 2014
Demo submission: October 24, 2014
Author notification: November 17, 2014
Camera-ready: December 7, 2014

== Submission and format ==

The proceedings of the symposium are published by Springer-Verlag in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series
(http://www.springer.com/lncs). Submissions should follow the
formatting instructions of Springer LNCS. Submitted papers must
present original, non-published work of high quality.

For selected papers, there will be an invitation to submit extended
versions to a special issue in the International Journal of
Information Security.

Two types of papers will be accepted:
Full papers (max 14 pages without bibliography/appendices) - May
describe original technical research with a solid foundation, such as
formal analysis or experimental results, with acceptance determined
mostly based on novelty and validation. Or, may describe case studies
applying existing techniques or analysis methods in industrial
settings, with acceptance determined mostly by the general
applicability of techniques and the completeness of the technical
presentation details.

Idea papers (max 8 pages with bibliography) - May crisply describe a
novel idea that is both feasible and interesting, where the idea may
range from a variant of an existing technique all the way to a vision
for the future of security technology. Idea papers allow authors to
introduce ideas to the field and get feedback, while allowing for
later publication of complete, fully-developed results. Submissions
will be judged primarily on novelty, excitement, and exposition, but
feasibility is required, and acceptance will be unlikely without some
basic, principled validation (e.g., extrapolation from limited
experiments or simple formal analysis). In the proceedings, idea
papers will clearly identified by means of the "Idea" tag in the
title.

== Demo Session Submission ==

This year we are planning to include a demonstration session in the
symposium. If you are working on practical solutions to
industrial-relevant problems in key areas of ESSOS, consider
disseminating about your experience at our demonstration session. To
be considered for presentation, a proposal describing the
demonstration should be mailed to the Industry Chair, Luca Compagna
(luca.compagna at sap.com). The following type of submission will be
accepted:

Demo presentation (short description, max 4 pages, not published in
proceedings) - May shortly describe (i) the overall problem, (ii) the
architecture underlying the system demonstrated, and (iii) one or
more use case scenarios that present how the audience will gain an
understanding of the underlying technology.

Submissions will be evaluated based on the motivation of the work
behind the use of the system to be demonstrated and its novelty. Demo
presentations will not be included in the formal proceeding of ESSOS.

CALL FOR INDUSTRY TRACK PAPERS

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

FM 2015 is the twentieth in a series of symposia organized by Formal
Methods Europe, an independent association whose aim is to stimulate the
use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. The
symposia have been notably successful in bringing together innovators and
practitioners in precise mathematical methods for software and systems
development, industrial users, as well as researchers.
The industry track of FM 2015 welcomes short papers describing industrial
applications of formal methods, experience with introducing formal methods
in industry, tool usage reports, experiments with challenge problems.
Authors are encouraged to explain how the use of formal methods has
overcome problems, led to improvements in design or provided new insights.

A survey of industrial applications of formal methods has been conducted
and is currently being extended (now with more than 100 entries). It would
be welcome if submissions to the industrial track also would take the time
to supply an entry to this survey. We hope during the industry track of FM
2015 to provide a new status of this survey so you will be able to see how
your findings compare to others.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Industry track papers should not exceed 4 pages (including appendices and
references). Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium
Proceedings, to appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Submitted papers should describe, in English, have not been published or
submitted elsewhere concurrently for publication, and should be in
Springer's format. All submissions will be evaluated by at least three
members of the industry track program committee. Papers should be submitted
through the FM 2015 Industry Track EasyChair web site:

The Microsoft Research-INRIA Joint Centre is offering a 14-month position for a research engineer to contribute to the ADN4SE project. We hope the position will be extended to 18 months, but are not yet sure this will be possible.

The engineer will contribute to extending the TLA+ Proof System (TLAPS, http://msr-inria.com/projects/tools-for-proofs) and will assist domain experts in applying TLAPS for proving fundamental properties of PharOS, a real-time operating system.


Research Context
================

TLA+ is a language for specifying and reasoning about systems, including concurrent and distributed systems.  It is based on first-order logic, set theory, and temporal logic. TLA+ and its tools have been used in industry for over a decade.  More recently, we have extended TLA+ by a language for writing structured formal proofs and have developed TLAPS, a proof checker that contains an interpreter for the proof language and integrates different back-end provers. TLAPS is integrated into the TLA+ Toolbox, an IDE for TLA+ (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/tla/tla.html).

Although it is still under active development, TLAPS is already quite powerful and has been used for a few verification projects, in particular in the realm of distributed algorithms (e.g., http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/tla/byzpaxos.html).

The current version of TLAPS handles the "action" part of TLA+: first-order formulas with primed and unprimed variables that represent the values of a variable before and after a transition. It also supports the propositional fragment of temporal logic. This fragment is enough for proving safety properties (invariants and step simulation). We are currently refactoring the code base and preparing support for full temporal logic of TLA+, which will allow us to prove liveness and refinement properties.


Description of the activity of the research engineer
====================================================

The research engineer (post-doctoral) position is funded by the PIA ADN4SE project (http://www.systematic-paris-region.org/en/projets/adn4se) that develops a real-time operating system and development tools for embedded systems based on PharOS. The system aims at providing certifiable correctness and performance guarantees, and fundamental properties of the operating system, such as determinacy, are formally verified using the TLA+ notation and tools.

Your work will make a key contribution to this verification effort. In particular, you will work with members of the TLA+ project at the Microsoft Research - INRIA Joint Centre, including Damien Doligez, Leslie Lamport, and Stephan Merz on extending the TLA+ Proof System and its libraries. You will also work with the project partners of ADN4SE, and in particular members of CEA List, on modeling the protocols subject to verification and on carrying out the proofs. Your contributions will be conceptual, by identifying theories and patterns that underly the verification of the operating system, and practical, by implementing formal libraries and software in order to carry out the verification task.

You will also have the opportunity to contribute to further improving the proof checker, for example by adding support for certain TLA+ features that are not yet handled by TLAPS, integrating new back-end provers, or extending the capabilities for proof validation.


Skills and profile of the candidate
===================================

You should hold a PhD in computer science and have solid knowledge of mathematical logic as well as implementation skills related to symbolic theorem proving. Our tools are mainly implemented in OCaml. Some basic familiarity with concepts of real-time systems is a plus. Experience with temporal and modal logics, with interactive theorem provers or with Eclipse could be valuable.

Working on the project provides the opportunity to learn about the issues of using verification in practice, and it has in the past and may continue in the future to produce published research.  However, the main focus is on practical applications and on the implementation of components of our tool chain that are missing or need improvement.

Given the geographical distribution of the members of the team, we highly value a good balance between the ability to work in a team and the capacity to propose initiatives.

Location
========

The research engineer will be based at the INRIA research center in Nancy (http://www.inria.fr/en/centre/nancy). Located in the North-East of France, Nancy is a university town whose metropolitan area has about 400,000 inhabitants. It is 1-1/2 hours from Paris by TGV.


Contact
=======

Candidates should send a resume and the names and e-mail addresses of two references to Damien Doligez <damien.doligez at inria.fr>, preferably by September 22, 2014.

We intend to hire the research engineer by November 2014, although the exact date is negotiable.

                  Coordination Models, Languages and Applications
        Special Track of the 30th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC'15)
                           http://sac2015.apice.unibo.it/

                                April 13 - 17, 2015
                                  Salamanca, Spain

**************************************************************************************
     The deadline for paper submission has been extended to September 26th,
2014
**************************************************************************************

Building on the success of the fifteenth previous editions (1998-2014), a
special
track on coordination models, languages and applications will be held at
SAC 2015.
Over the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of models, formalisms
and
mechanisms to describe concurrent and distributed computations and systems
based on
the concept of coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to
enable the
integration of a number of possibly heterogeneous components (processes,
objects,
agents, services) in such a way that the resulting ensemble can execute as
a whole,
forming a distributed software system with desired characteristics and
functionalities.
This is done in terms of coordination abstractions, languages, algorithms,
mechanisms,
and middleware specifically focused on the management of component
interaction.

The coordination paradigm crosscuts a number of contemporary software
engineering
approaches and fields, which we aim to cross-fertilize and bring
contribution to,
including in particular: multi-agent systems, self-adaptative and
self-organising
systems, service-oriented architectures, component-based systems, and all
related
middleware platforms.

The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications takes
a
deliberately broad view of what constitutes coordination. Accordingly,
major topics
of interest this year will include:

   - Novel models, languages, formalisms, programming and implementation
techniques
   - Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures
   - Applications
   - Middleware platforms
   - Formal aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification)
   - Software architectures and software engineering techniques
   - Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile agents,
intelligent agents,
     and agent-based simulations
   - Internet, Web, and pervasive computing systems coordination
   - Languages for service description and composition
   - Models, frameworks and tools for Group Decision Making
   - All aspects related to Cooperative Information Systems (e.g. workflow
management,
     CSCW)
   - Configuration and Architecture Description Languages
   - Self-organising, self-adaptive and nature-inspired coordination
approaches
   - Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented,
declarative
     (functional, logic, constraint) programming or their extensions with
coordination
     capabilities
   - Coordination models and specification in Service-Oriented
Architectures, Web Service
     technologies (orchestration, choreography, etc.),Pervasive Computing
and Autonomic
     Computing
   - Policy-based approaches to coordination and self-adaptation

We also welcome papers on practical systems or novel applications that are
aimed at
reaching coordination between components and services, especially if those
systems and
novel applications challenge existing ideas and models.

In previous editions, CM Special Track organisers have been inviting
authors of selected
papers for special issues in high impact journals, such as, ACM
Transactions on Autonomous
and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) and Science of Computer Programming (SCP).

associated with each PhD scholarship. Furthermore, travelling costs
for attending conferences and schools, computer equipment, etc., is
also covered by the group.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAVI project

We live in a digital society in which the software reliability has
become a crucial aspect, both because the risks for human lives that a
software bug may cause and also for its associated economic cost. Most
current software products use heterogenous technologies and different
programming languages that are glued together by means of complex
mechanisms. This complexity, together with the fact that most software
components are made by third-party developers, makes the software
validation tasks a true challenge for software development companies
in terms of cost. However, validation tasks are crucial for
guaranteeing the quality of the software products. In this project, we
aim at advancing the knowledge and technology within the area of
software validation at different levels:

- Software testing. This is the technology most commonly used by the
software industry to prevent errors during the software
development. The controlled execution of a number of tests allows one
to validate, to some extent, the correctness of the software
developed. 

- Formal verification. The main drawback of the previous technique is
that, despite the fact that they can be very helpful to locate the
bugs of a program, they cannot be used to ensure that a program is
error-free. Therefore, we will also consider formal verification
techniques that finitely approximate (by means of static analysis,
abstract interpretation, constraints, etc.) the possible executions of
a program. Thus, we may obtain a total assurance of the correctness of
a program, which makes these techniques specially adequate for
validating critical software.

- Program debugging. Complementary to the previous methods, we can
also find a number of debugging techniques that help the programmer to
detect and locate the most common program errors. 

We plan to apply most of our developments to the functional and
concurrent programming language Erlang; see, e.g.,
http://www.erlang.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_(programming_language)

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

TLA+ and its tools have been used in industry for over a decade.  More recently, we have extended TLA+ by a language for writing structured formal proofs and have developed TLAPS, a proof checker that contains an interpreter for the proof language and integrates different back-end provers. TLAPS is integrated into the TLA+ Toolbox, an IDE for TLA+ (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/tla/tla.html).

We are currently refactoring the code base and preparing support for full temporal logic of TLA+, which will allow us to prove liveness and refinement properties.

CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS (deadline September 24!)

ACM SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop, Mumbai, India

Wednesday, January 14, 2015

Co-located with POPL 2015

PLMW web page: http://plmw15.iisc-seal.net/

After the resounding success of the first three Programming Languages
Mentoring Workshops at POPL 2012, 2013, and 2014, we proudly announce
the 4th SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW),
co-located with POPL 2015 and organised by Derek Dreyer, Aditya Kanade,
Ruzica Piskac, Alan Schmitt, and Ross Tate.

The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to encourage graduate students
and senior undergraduate students to pursue careers in programming
language research. This workshop will provide technical sessions on
cutting-edge research in programming languages, and mentoring sessions
on how to prepare for a research career. We will bring together leaders
in programming language research from academia and industry to give
talks on their research areas. The workshop will engage students in
a process of imagining how they might contribute to our research
community.

So far, we have the following speakers confirmed to speak at the
workshop, and we expect about 7 additional speakers as well:

- Adam Chlipala (MIT)
- Sumit Gulwani (Microsoft Research)
- Mike Hicks (University of Maryland, College Park)
- Shriram Krishnamurthi (Brown)
- Matt Might (University of Utah)

We especially encourage women and underrepresented minority students to
attend PLMW.

This workshop is part of the activities surrounding POPL, the Symposium
on Principles of Programming Languages, and takes place the day before
the main conference. One goal of the workshop is to make the POPL
conference more accessible to newcomers. We hope that participants will
stay through the entire conference.

A number of sponsors (listed below) have generously donated scholarship
funds for qualified students to attend PLMW. These scholarships should
cover reasonable expenses (airfare, hotel, and registration fees) for
attendance at both the workshop and the POPL conference.

Students attending this year will get one year free student membership
of SIGPLAN, unless they prefer to opt out during their application.

The workshop registration is open to all. Students with alternative
sources of funding are welcome.

APPLICATION for PLMW scholarship:

The scholarship application can be accessed from the workshop web site
(http://plmw15.iisc-seal.net/application). The deadline for full
consideration of funding is FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. Selected participants
will be notified by OCTOBER 1 or earlier, and will need to pre-register
for the workshop (i.e. declare intent to attend) by OCTOBER 10.  Note
the early date!!

The reason for this early pre-registration has to do with obtaining
visas for travel to India.  To apply for a ?conference visa?, all
attendees of POPL and PLMW must register their intent to attend the
event by October 10.  More details concerning the visa application
process will be provided soon.

* Pre-registration for visa purposes *

[Action item:  Please pre-register for POPL and collocated events to get your visa process started.  This step is *free* -- there is no cost to signing up -- but necessary to get you an Indian visa.]

The registration site for POPL 2015 and collocated events is now live at
 
https://regmaster4.com/2015conf/POPL15/register.php 
 
(it can be accessed from the POPL website http://popl.mpi-sws.org/2015/ ).  Unlike past years, we are doing a pre-registration phase for visa purposes. POPL organizers are required to submit a list of all attendees who will apply for visas to the Indian government on October 11 (3 months before the conference).  Every attendee who has a non-Indian passport needs a visa and we request everyone who needs a visa to pre-register (don?t need to pay now) before October 10th. More details about visa process can be found at:
 
http://w3.kwconferences.com/popl/visa.html
 
We have set up the POPL registration site appropriately to collect passport and other information needed for visa purposes. If you need a visa, can you please pre-register with your passport information etc as soon as you can? Pre-registering also enables us to send you some documents you need to apply for your visa.  

Thanks for bearing through the visa process, and look forward to seeing you all at POPL 15 and collocated events!

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Call for Proposals for Workshops at FM2015 (20th
 Intl. Symposium on Formal Methods); 22.-26. June, 2015, Oslo
Message-ID: <541FDAD1.8030200@utwente.nl>

CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR WORKSHOPS

The 20th International Symposium on Formal Methods (FM 2015) will take place in Oslo, Norway, June 22-26, 2015. For this major event, we are inviting people to submit proposals for workshops.

The purpose of the workshops is to provide an informal setting for workshop participants to discuss technical issues, exchange research ideas, and to discuss and/or demonstrate applications. These workshops may be driven by fundamental academic interests or by needs from specific application domains. We encourage a diversity of workshops relating to different varieties of formal models. We also explicitly welcome satellite events in a non-traditional format, such as formal methods-related competitions.

All workshop proposals must be written in English.

Proposals for workshops should be no more than 3 pages in length and submitted to the Workshops chairs before November 14, 2014 (see below).

A workshop proposal should include a draft call-for-papers containing at least the following information:

- Title and brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the goals and the technical issues that will be its focus.
- The names and contact information (web page, email address) of the Programme Committee (PC) chairs, i.e., the workshop organisers.
- A tentative list of workshop PC members. We suggest one or two PC chairs and at least 10 PC members coming from different countries.

Moreover, the following additional information is requested:

- If the workshop has taken place before:
         How often has the workshop taken place so far?
         Which conference(s) has the workshop been colocated with so far?
         Number of participants in the last installment.
- A discussion of the proposed format and agenda.
- The proposed duration (half, one or two days).
- Procedures for selecting participants and papers.
- Potential invited speakers.
- Expected number of participants.

Each workshop programme chair will be responsible for the following:

- Producing a web page and a "Call for Papers/Participation" for their workshop.
- Providing a brief description of the workshop for the conference web page and programme, and providing a workshop web page the conference can refer to for details.
- Selecting the papers for the workshop proceedings and providing the camera ready copies ready for publication.
- All advertising of the workshop beyond web page advertising.
- Appointing session chairs, etc.

The local organisation of the conference will take care of the production of informal or electronic workshop proceedings, assuming that the proceedings are camera ready.

Submission of Workshop Proposals

Proposals should be submitted as a PDF file. Please send your proposals and any inquiries by electronic mail to the Workshop chairs:

Marieke Huisman<M.Huisman at utwente.nl>  
Volker Stolz<stolz at ifi.uio.no>.

Dates

     Deadline for workshop proposals: November 14, 2014

Important Dates
---------------

* Paper Submission : Friday, November 7, 2014
* Notification : Friday, November 21, 2014
* Event : Sunday, January 18, 2015

Background
-------------

Programming language researchers have the principles, tools,
algorithms and abstractions to solve a wide variety of problems, in
application areas ranging from other subfields of computer science,
the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the
humanities. However, identifying and evaluating new problems,
particularly those that lie outside the typical core PL problems we
all know and love, can be a significant challenge. Hence, the goal of
this workshop is to identify and discuss problems that do not often
show up in our top conferences, but where programming language
researchers can make a substantial impact. We hope fora like this
will increase the diversity of problems that are studied by PL
researchers and thus increase our community's impact on the world.

While many workshops associated with POPL have become more like
mini-conferences themselves, this is not the goal for OBT. The
workshop will be informal and structured to encourage discussion. We
are at least as interested in problems as in solutions.


Scope
----------

A good submission is one that outlines a new problem or an
interesting, underrepresented problem domain. Good submissions may
also remind the PL community of problems that were once in vogue but
have not recently been seen in top PL conferences. Good submissions do
not need to propose complete or even partial solutions, though there
should be some reason to believe that programming languages
researchers have the tools necessary to search for solutions in the
area at hand. Submissions that seem likely to stimulate discussion
about the direction of programming language research are encouraged.

Use your imagination. It's hard to imagine how a paper that discusses
programming languages could be considered out-of-scope. If in doubt,
ask the program chair.

Submission
----------

Submit Here: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=obt2015

Submissions are restricted to two pages or less in at least 10pt font,
printable on US Letter paper. Submissions are required to be in PDF
format. Authors are free to include links to multimedia
content. Reviewers are not required to peruse these?authors, persuade
them to take a look!

For each accepted submission, we will have a talk at the workshop
given by one of the authors. The length of the talk will depend on the
submissions received and how the program committee decides to assemble
the program.

Reviewing of submissions will be very light. Authors should not expect
a detailed analysis of their submission by the program
committee. Accepted submissions will be posted as is on this web
site. By submitting a document, you agree that if it is accepted, it
may be posted and you agree that one of the co-authors will attend the
workshop and give a talk there. There will be no revision process and
no formal publication.

outils. Ces domaines doivent ?tre pris au sens large : nous souhaitons
promouvoir les ponts entre les diff?rentes th?matiques. 

. Langages fonctionnels et applicatifs : s?mantique, compilation,
  optimisation, typage, mesures, extensions par d'autres paradigmes.

. Assistants de preuve : impl?mentation, nouvelles tactiques,
  d?veloppements pr?sentant un int?r?t technique ou m?thodologique.

. Logique, correspondance de Curry-Howard, r?alisabilit?, extraction
  de programmes, mod?les.

. Sp?cification, prototypage, d?veloppements formels d'algorithmes.

. Utilisation industrielle des langages fonctionnels et applicatifs,
  ou des m?thodes issues des preuves formelles, outils pour le web.

Les articles soumis aux JFLA sont relus par au moins deux personnes
s'ils sont accept?s, trois personnes s'ils sont rejet?s. Les critiques
des relecteurs sont toujours bienveillantes et la plupart du temps
encourageantes et constructives, m?me en cas de rejet.

Enfin, un soutien financier pourra ?tre apport? ? certains ?tudiants

- SAC 2015

For the past twenty-night years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has
been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers,
software engineers, and application developers from around the world.

SAC 2015 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP),
and will be held at the University of Salamanca, Spain.

- Call For Student Research Abstracts:

Graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas
are invited to submit original abstracts of their research work in areas of experimental
computing and application development related to SAC 2015 Tracks. The Student Research
Competition (SRC) program is designed to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet
and exchange ideas with researcher and practitioners in their areas of interest.

- OOPS Track

Object-oriented programming (OOP) has become the mainstream programming paradigm for
developing complex software systems in most application domains.

However, existing OO languages and platforms need to evolve to meet the continuous
demand for new abstractions, features, and tools able to reduce the time, effort, and
cost of creating object-oriented software systems, and improving their performance, quality
and usability.

To this aim, OOPS is seeking for research advances bringing benefits in all those typical
aspects of software development, such as modeling, prototyping, design, implementation,
concurrency and distribution, code generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation,
deployment, maintenance, reuse, and software evolution and adaptation.

The specific OO related topics of interest for the OOPS track include, but are not limited to,
the following:


*    Aspects and components
*    Code generation, and optimization, just-in-time compilation
*    Context-oriented programming
*    Databases and persistence
*    Distribution and concurrency
*    Dynamic and scripting languages
*    Evaluation
*    Feature Oriented Software Development and Programming
*    Formal verification
*    Integration with other paradigms
*    Interoperability, versioning and software evolution and adaptation
*    Language design and implementation
*    Modular and generic programming
*    Reflection, meta-programming
*    Runtime verification
*    Secure and dependable software
*    Static analysis
*    Testing and debugging
*    Type systems and type inference
*    Virtual machines


OOPS offers a great opportunity to the OOP community to gain visibility, and to
exploit the inter-disciplinary nature of SAC.

- Submission Instructions

Prospective papers should be submitted to the track in pdf format using the START submission system
for regular papers (http://oldwww.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/Paper-SubmissionUploadPage.htm) or
SRC papers (http://oldwww.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/SRC-SubmissionUploadPage.htm)

Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed; all papers should represent original and
previously unpublished works that are currently not under review in any conference or journal.
Both basic and applied research papers are welcome.

SAC 2015 will use double-blind reviewing; to facilitate this, author name(s) and institution(s) must 
be omitted, and references to authors' own related work should be in the third person.

The format of the paper must adhere to the sig-alternate style 
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)
Full papers are limited to 6 pages with the option for up to 2 additional pages at extra charge (80 
USD per page).
Posters are limited to 3 pages with the option for up to 1 additional page at extra charge (80 USD).

Papers that fall short the above requirements are subjected to rejection.
All papers must be submitted by *October 10,  2014 (extended deadline)*.
For more information please visit the SAC 2015 Website (http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015).

- Proceedings

Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the annual conference proceedings. Accepted posters will be
published as extended abstracts in the same proceedings.

Please note that full registration is required for papers and posters to be included in the conference
proceedings and CD. Papers and posters NOT presented at conference will NOT be included in the ACM 
digital
library. Student registration is only intended to encourage student attendance and does not cover 
inclusion
of papers/posters in the conference proceedings.

Finally, following the tradition of the past OOPS editions, depending on the quality and the overall 
number
of accepted papers, after the conference authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an 
extended version for a journal
special issue.

Evolution of the universe, and us within it, invite a parallel evolution
in understanding. The CiE agenda - fundamental and engaged - targets the
extracting and developing of computational models basic to current
challenges. From the origins of life, to the understanding of human
mentality, to the characterising of quantum randomness - computability
theoretic questions arise in many guises. The CiE community, this coming
year meeting for the first time in Bucharest, carries forward the search
for coherence, depth and new thinking across this rich and vital field of
research.

In all cases we are looking for fundamental and theoretical
submissions. In line with other conferences in this series, CiE
2015 has a broad scope and provides a forum for the discussion of
theoretical and practical issues in Computability with an
emphasis on new paradigms of computation and the development of
their mathematical theory.

We particularly invite papers that build bridges between
different parts of the research community.

Message-ID: <F359BD98-FF53-426F-B7BC-0F83299DCA5D@mac.com>

We are happy to announce the public availability of the web site sml-family.org, which represents the entire family of languages and compilers derived from Standard ML. This new site supersedes the former standardml.org, and the standardml.org URL now redirects to sml-family.org.

The web page includes links to all extant compilers, which are all freely available for download. It also provides downloadable copies of "The Definition of Standard ML" (SML '90) and "The Definition of Standard ML (Revised)" (SML '97), with links to GitHub repositories containing the sources for the Definitions as well as other formulations of the semantics of Standard ML. There is a link to the documentation for the Standard ML Basis Library, and to critiques and commentaries on the definitions or the design of Standard ML. Anyone is free to clone a repository branch and make alterations or corrections and submit them for merger into the main branch.

Other useful resources provided include a link to the Smackage repository for Standard ML source code, and a sub-site devoted to the history of ML and Standard ML.

The goal of sml-family.org is to consolidate the independent efforts over the last 25 years on the language and its extensions, and to encourage an open-source approach to the evolution of the language. It is our intention to maintain the web site with up-to-date releases of variations and extensions to the language and its implementations.

                                April 13 - 17, 2015
                                  Salamanca, Spain

     The deadline for paper submission has been extended to October 10th,
2014
**************************************************************************************

Building on the success of the fifteenth previous editions (1998-2014), a
special
track on coordination models, languages and applications will be held at
SAC 2015.
Over the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of models, formalisms
and
mechanisms to describe concurrent and distributed computations and systems
based on
the concept of coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to
enable the
integration of a number of possibly heterogeneous components (processes,
objects,
agents, services) in such a way that the resulting ensemble can execute as
a whole,
forming a distributed software system with desired characteristics and
functionalities.
This is done in terms of coordination abstractions, languages, algorithms,
mechanisms,
and middleware specifically focused on the management of component
interaction.

The coordination paradigm crosscuts a number of contemporary software
engineering
approaches and fields, which we aim to cross-fertilize and bring
contribution to,
including in particular: multi-agent systems, self-adaptative and
self-organising
systems, service-oriented architectures, component-based systems, and all
related
middleware platforms.

The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications takes
a
deliberately broad view of what constitutes coordination. Accordingly,
major topics
of interest this year will include:

   - Novel models, languages, formalisms, programming and implementation
techniques
   - Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures
   - Applications
   - Middleware platforms
   - Formal aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification)
   - Software architectures and software engineering techniques
   - Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile agents,
intelligent agents,
     and agent-based simulations
   - Internet, Web, and pervasive computing systems coordination
   - Languages for service description and composition
   - Models, frameworks and tools for Group Decision Making
   - All aspects related to Cooperative Information Systems (e.g. workflow
management,
     CSCW)
   - Configuration and Architecture Description Languages
   - Self-organising, self-adaptive and nature-inspired coordination
approaches
   - Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented,
declarative
     (functional, logic, constraint) programming or their extensions with
coordination
     capabilities
   - Coordination models and specification in Service-Oriented
Architectures, Web Service
     technologies (orchestration, choreography, etc.),Pervasive Computing
and Autonomic
     Computing
   - Policy-based approaches to coordination and self-adaptation

We also welcome papers on practical systems or novel applications that are
aimed at
reaching coordination between components and services, especially if those
systems and
novel applications challenge existing ideas and models.

In previous editions, CM Special Track organisers have been inviting
authors of selected
papers for special issues in high impact journals, such as, ACM
Transactions on Autonomous
and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) and Science of Computer Programming (SCP).

---------------------
   Proceedings
---------------------

Papers accepted for the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and
Applications will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2015 proceedings and
in
the Digital Library.



-------------------------------------
   Paper submission and format
-------------------------------------

All papers should represent original and previously unpublished works that
currently are not under review in any conference or journal.

The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the
paper,
and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate
blind
review. Only the title should be shown at the first page without the
author's
information.

Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages and in the ACM two-column
page
format (doc template, pdf template, latex template). It will be possible to
have
up to 2 extra pages in the proceeding at a charge of $80 per page (total 8
pages
maximum).

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster
in the
conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the
paper.
This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE
digital
library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding
them
from the ACM/IEEE digital library.

Submission is entirely automated via the STAR Submission System, which is
available
from the main SAC Web Site: https://www.softconf.com/d/sac2015/.


-------------------------
   Poster Sessions
-------------------------

Papers that received high reviews (that is acceptable by reviewer
standards) but
were not accepted due to space limitation can be invited for the poster
session.
Poster should be not longer than 2 pages plus 1 extra page at $80. The
poster
session procedures and details will be posted on SAC 2015 website as soon
as they
become available.


------------------------------------------------
   Student research abstracts competition
------------------------------------------------

Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts (minimum of
2-page and
maximum of 4-page) following the instructions published at SAC 2015
website.
Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed.

-- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --

ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers
and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the
proceedings and have presentations during the conference.

ESOP and FoSSaCS accept only research papers. TACAS has more paper
categories (see http://www.etaps.org/2015/tacas).

A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one
of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation.

Submitted papers must be in English presenting original
research. They must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. In particular, simultaneous submission of the same
contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is forbidden. The
proceedings will be published in the Advanced Research in Computing
and Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of Springer's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series.

Papers must follow the formatting guidelines specified by Springer at

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

and be submitted electronically in pdf through the EasyChair author
interface of the respective conference (HotCRP for ESOP).

Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately.


- Research papers

FASE, FOSSACS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pages for research
papers, whereas CC, POST allow at most 20 pages and ESOP 25 pages.

Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication
in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page
limit. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers
must be understandable without them.

In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also case study
papers (at most 15 pages).

Both TACAS and FASE solicit also regular tool papers (at most 15
pages).


- Tool demonstration papers

Submissions should consist of two parts:

* The first part, at most 4 pages, should describe the tool
    presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and
    provide information that illustrates the maturity and robustness of
    the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.)

* The second part, at most 6 pages, should explain how the
    demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including
    screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
    proceedings, but will be evaluated.)

ESOP and FOSSACS do not accept tool demonstration papers.

TACAS has a page limit of 6 pages for tool demonstrations.


-- SATELLITE EVENTS (11-12 April, 18 April) --

Around 20 satellite workshops will take place before and after the
main conferences.

of the full paper should be submitted not later than November 2, 2014.
Submission site : https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arith22

Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgments, or obvious references (if authors need autoreference, this
should be done without explicit indication, i.e., "in our previous work [14] we
proposed a new..", etc., but as another regular reference "In reference [14] a
new...."). The paper should conform with the following indications:  title that
reflects the content and contribution of the paper, a short abstract, a list of
representative keywords, and an introduction that summarizes the contributions
of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader.

Papers under review elsewhere are not acceptable for submission to ARITH 22 and
by submitting a paper you implicitly confirm you are solely submitting it to
ARITH 22. Double submission is seen as a serious violation of professional ethics.

Authors will be notified of acceptance in February 2015, and final camera-ready
papers will be due in march 2015.


*A Note On Paper Formatting*

The final submissions of accepted papers cannot exceed 10 pages (corresponding
to 8+2 extra charged pages) using the IEEE Computer Society Conference format
(two columns). However, for review, authors may submit a paper with a maximum of
20 pages, 12pt font size, single column and double spacing.

CALL FOR PHD ABSTRACTS

Journal of Functional Programming

Deadline: 31st October 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 recently launched a new
feature, in the form of a regular publication of abstracts
from PhD dissertations that were completed during the previous
year.  The abstracts are made freely available on the JFP
website, i.e. not behind any paywall, and do not require any
transfer for copyright, merely a license from the author.
The first round of published abstracts can be downloaded
from http://journals.cambridge.org/jfp/phd_abstracts.

Please submit dissertation abstracts according to the
instructions below.  A dissertation is eligible if parts
of it have or could have appeared 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 31st October 2014.

o Dissertation title: (including any subtitle)

o Student: (full name)

o Awarding institution: (full name and country)

o Date of PhD award: (month and year; depending on the
  institution, this may be the date of the viva, corrections
  being approved, graduation ceremony, or otherwise)

o Advisor/supervisor: (full names)

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 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)
   
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.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 7th NASA Formal Methods Symposium

http://www.NASAFormalMethods.org/nfm2015

27 ? 29 April 2015
Pasadena, California, USA

Paper Submission: 10 Nov 2014


THEME

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission- and safety-critical systems require advanced techniques that address their specification, verification, validation, and certification.

The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is a forum for theoreticians and practitioners from academia, industry, and government, with the goals of identifying challenges and providing solutions to achieving assurance in mission- and safety-critical systems. Within NASA such systems include for example autonomous robots, separation assurance algorithms for aircraft, Next Generation Air Transportation (NextGen), and autonomous rendezvous and docking for spacecraft. Moreover, emerging paradigms such as property-based design, code generation, and safety cases are bringing with them new challenges and opportunities. The focus of the symposium will be on formal techniques, their theory, current capabilities, and limitations, as well as their application to aerospace, robotics, and other mission- and safety-critical systems in all design life-cycle stages. We encourage submissions on cross-cutting approaches marrying formal verification techniques with advances in critical system development, such as requirements generation, analysis of aerospace operational concepts, and formal methods integrated in early design stages and carrying throughout system development.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] CAV 2015: Call for Papers,
	CAV Award and Workshop Proposals
Message-ID: <8E83268DB51492428B640C5F567F1DAC0C67F27D@NDJSMBX203.ndc.nasa.gov>

CALL FOR PAPERS

27th International Conference on
Computer Aided Verification (CAV 2015)
July 18-24 2015, San Francisco, California
http://i-cav.org/2015/

Aims and Scope

CAV 2015 is the 27th in a series dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software systems.  CAV considers it vital to continue spurring advances in hardware and software verification while expanding to new domains such as biological systems and computer security. The conference covers the spectrum from theoretical results to concrete applications, with an emphasis on practical verification tools and the algorithms and techniques that are needed for their implementation. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer LNCS series. A selection of papers will be invited to a special issue of Formal Methods in System Design and the Journal of the ACM.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Algorithms and tools for verifying models and implementations
* Hardware verification techniques
* Deductive, compositional, and abstraction techniques for verification
* Program analysis and software verification
* Verification methods for parallel and concurrent hardware/software systems
* Testing and run-time analysis based on verification technology
* Applications and case studies in verification
* Decision procedures and solvers for verification
* Mathematical and logical foundations of practical verification tools
* Verification in industrial practice
* Algorithms and tools for system synthesis
* Hybrid systems and embedded systems verification
* Verification techniques for security
* Formal models and methods for biological systems

Paper Submission

Submissions should contain original research and sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution. We welcome papers on theory, case studies and comparisons with existing experimental research, tool papers, as well as combinations of new theory with experimental evaluation. Similar to last year, we welcome both long tool papers and short papers of any kind.

Tool papers should describe system and implementation aspects of a tool with a large (potential) user base (experiments not required, rehash of theory strongly discouraged). Papers describing tools that have already been presented (in any conference) will be accepted only if significant and clear enhancements to the tool are reported and implemented.

Submissions reporting on case studies in an industrial context are strongly invited, and should describe details, weaknesses, and strengths in sufficient depth. Papers reproducing and comparing existing results experimentally do not require new theoretical insights. Examples of contributions of such papers are evaluations of existing results in a superior experimental setting and comparisons of methods that have not previously been thoroughly experimentally compared.

Papers can be submitted in either a regular or a short format.

* Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format, not counting references.

* Short Papers should not exceed 6 pages, not counting references. Short papers are encouraged for any subject that can be described within the page limit, and in particular for novel ideas without an extensive experimental evaluation. Accepted short papers will be accompanied by short presentations.

An appendix can provide additional material such as details on proofs or experiments. The appendix is not guaranteed to be read or taken into account by the reviewers and it should not contain information necessary for the understanding and the evaluation of the presented work. Papers will be accepted or rejected in the category in which they were submitted, there will be no ?demotions? from a regular to a short paper.

Simultaneous submission to other conferences with proceedings or submission of material that has already been published elsewhere is not allowed.

The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period where authors will have the option to respond to reviewer comments. The PC chairs may solicit further reviews after the rebuttal period.

Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submission is done via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cav2015

NEW this year: Artifact Evaluation. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit their artifacts for evaluation by a special committee.

Deadlines

Deadlines are ?anywhere on earth?

    Abstract submission: January 30 2015
    Paper submission (firm): February 6 2015
    Author feedback/rebuttal period: March 23-26 2015
    Notification of acceptance/rejection: April 17 2015
    Final version due: May 1 2015

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The 2015 Computer-Aided Verification (CAV) Workshops provide an opportunity for participants to discuss topics in the broader verification related domains. CAV 2015 Workshops will be held before the main conference on July 18 and 19. Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the Workshop Chair.

Workshop proposals submission deadline: November 23, 2014
Workshop proposals notification: November 30, 2014

CALL FOR CAV AWARD NOMINATIONS

The CAV award is given annually at the CAV conference for fundamental contributions to the field of Computer-Aided Verification. The award comes with a cash prize of US$10,000 shared equally among recipients. Nominations should be submitted by e-mail to a member of the CAV Award committee.

LOCATION: University of Utah, Salt Lake City
DATES: July 27 - July 31, 2015
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mflatt/plt-redex/


PLT Redex is a lightweight, embedded DSL for modeling programming
languages, their reduction semantics, and their type systems. It comes with
an IDE and a toolbox for exploring, testing, debugging, and type-setting
language models. The PLT research group has successfully used Redex to
model and analyze a wide spectrum of published models.

The summer school will introduce students to the underlying theory of
reduction semantics, programming in the Redex language, and using its
tool suite effectively.  The course is intended for PhD students and
researchers in programming languages. Enrollment is limited to 25
attendees.

While the workshop itself is free, attendees must pay for travel, room, and
board. We expect room and board to be around $500, assuming an arrival in
the evening of Sunday July 26 and leaving Friday July 31 or August 1.
Partial financial support for PhD students is available.

To register, send email to Matthew Flatt (mflatt at cs.utah.edu). If you

ECOOP 2015 solicits high quality submissions describing original and
unpublished results. It encourages innovative and creative solutions
to real problems, evaluations of existing solutions in ways that shed
new insights, or both. Following recent precedent, it also encourages
the submission of reproduction studies. The programme committee will
evaluate the technical contribution of each submission as well as its
general relevance and accessibility to the ECOOP audience according the
following criteria:

Originality

The paper presents new ideas and/or results relevant to object
technology and related software development technologies, and places
these appropriately within the context established by previous research
in the field. The paper clearly identifies what this contribution has
accomplished and how it relates to previous work.

Significance

The results in the paper have the potential to add to the state of the
art or practice in important or significant ways. The paper challenges
or changes informed opinion about what is possible, true or likely.

Evidence

The paper presents evidence supporting its claims. Examples of evidence
include formalizations and proofs, implemented systems, experimental
results, statistical analyses and case studies.

Clarity

The paper presents its claims and results clearly. It is organized so
that it is easily understood by an audience with varied expertise.

For reproduction studies: Empirical Evaluation

Common in other sciences, reproduction means independently
reconstructing an experiment in a different context (e.g. virtual
machine, platform, class of applications) in order to validate or
refute important results of earlier work. A good reproduction study
will include thorough empirical evaluation, meeting high statistical
standards. It will contain a detailed comparison with the previous
results, seeking reasons for possible disagreements.

As is tradition, ECOOP Proceedings are published in Springer LNCS.

Paper Submission

Only papers that have not been published and are not under review for
publication elsewhere can be submitted. Double submissions will be
rejected without review. If major parts of an ECOOP submission have
appeared elsewhere in any form, authors are required to notify the
ECOOP 2015 programme chair and to explain the overlap and relationship.
Authors are also required to inform the programme chair about closely
related work submitted to another conference while the ECOOP submission
is under review.

Submissions will be carried out electronically via the Hotcrp website:

http://ecoop15.hotcrp.com/

Papers must be written in English, and be no longer than 25 pages
using the LNCS style, including references, figures and integral
appendices. See below for information about additional appendices. For
more information about formatting, please consult the Springer LNCS web
site:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Reviewing

Following the recent history of other programming language conferences,
ECOOP 2015 will use light double-blind reviewing whereby authors?
identities are withheld until the reviewer submits their review (as
usual, reviews are also anonymous). To facilitate this, submitted papers
must adhere to two rules:

author names and institutions must be omitted, and

references to authors? own related work should be in the third
person (e.g., not ?We build on our previous work ?? but rather
?We build on the work of ??).

However, nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens
the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). A document answering frequently asked questions that
hopefully addresses many common concerns is available:
http://2015.ecoop.org/track/research-track#FAQ-on-Double-Blind-Reviewing
When in doubt, contact the programme chair.

Additional Material

Clearly marked additional appendices, not intended for the final
publication, containing supporting proofs, analyses, statistics, etc,
may be included beyond the 25 page limit. There is also an option on
the paper submission page to submit supplementary material, e.g., a
technical report including proofs, or the software used to implement
a system that cannot easily be anonymized. This material will be made
available to reviewers after the initial reviews have been completed
when author names are revealed. As usual, reviewers may choose to use
the supplemental material or not at their discretion. However, the paper
must stand alone and reviewers are under no obligation to read any
additional material. Reviewers are more likely to consult additional
appendices rather than separate technical reports.

Authors of papers that have been submitted but not accepted by previous
prestigious conferences may additionally submit a Note to Reviewers.
The Note to Reviewers should a) identify the previous venue(s) (e.g.
ESOP ?15, OOPSLA ?14); b) list the major issues identified by the
reviews at those venues; and c) describe the changes made to the paper
in response to those reviews. Such notes will not be made available to
a reviewer until after the initial review has been completed and author
names are revealed.

Response period

Authors will be given a 72-hour period (from Friday, 13 February 2015
to Sunday 15 February 2015) to read and respond to the reviews of their
papers before the programme committee meeting. Responses will have no
length limit but concision will be highly appreciated by the programme
committee.

Artifact Evaluation

To reward the creation of artifacts and support replication of
experiments, authors of accepted research papers can submit artifacts
(such as tools, data, models, or videos) to be evaluated by an Artifact
Evaluation Committee. Artifacts that pass muster will be recognized
formally, and the Artifact Evaluation Committee will give an award for
the best artifact.

              Eighteenth International Conference on
        THEORY AND APPLICATIONS OF SATISFIABILITY TESTING
                         --- SAT 2015 ---

                Austin, Texas, September 24-27, 2015
               http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~marijn/sat15/

         Abstract submission deadline: April 22, 2015
            Paper submission deadline: April 29, 2015

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

The International Conference on Theory and Applications of
Satisfiability Testing (SAT) is the premier annual meeting for
researchers focusing on the theory and applications of the
propositional satisfiability problem, broadly construed. In addition
to plain propositional satisfiability, it also includes Boolean
optimization (such as MaxSAT and Pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints),
Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF), Satisfiability Modulo Theories
(SMT), and Constraint Programming (CP) for problems with clear
connections to Boolean-level reasoning.

Many hard combinatorial problems can be tackled using SAT-based
techniques including problems that arise in Formal Verification,
Artificial Intelligence, Operations Research, Computational Biology,
Cryptography, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Mathematics, et
cetera. Indeed, the theoretical and practical advances in SAT research
over the past twenty years have contributed to making SAT technology
an indispensable tool in a variety of domains.

SAT 2015 aims to further advance the field by soliciting original
theoretical and practical contributions in these areas with a clear
connection to Satisfiability. Specifically, SAT 2015 invites
scientific contributions addressing different aspects of SAT
interpreted in a broad sense, including (but not restricted to)
theoretical advances (such as exact algorithms, proof complexity, and
other complexity issues), practical search algorithms, knowledge
compilation, implementation-level details of SAT solvers and SAT-based
systems, problem encodings and reformulations, applications (including
both novel application domains and improvements to existing
approaches), as well as case studies and reports on findings based on
rigorous experimentation.

SAT 2015 takes place in Austin, Texas, and is co-locating with the
fifteenth Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design (FMCAD) conference.
Austin, the capital of Texas, is a college town and a center of
alternative culture away from the major cities on the American coasts,
although the city is rapidly gentrifying with its rising
popularity. Austin's attitude is commonly emblazoned about town on
T-Shirts and bumper stickers that read: "Keep Austin Weird."  Austin
is considered a major high tech center due in part to UT Austin and
the many Fortune 500 companies in the area such as AMD, Apple, eBay,
Google, IBM, and Intel, among others. Austin is also marketed as the
"Live Music Capital of the World" due to the large number of live
music venues.

  Knowledge compilation;

  Implementation-level details of SAT solving tools and SAT-based
  systems;

  Problem encodings and reformulations;

  Applications (including both novel applications domains and
  improvements to existing approaches);

  Case studies and reports on insightful findings based on rigorous
  experimentation.


Out of Scope
============

Papers claiming to resolve a major long-standing open theoretical
question in Mathematics or Computer Science (such as those for which a
Millennium Prize is offered, see
http://www.claymath.org/millennium-problems), are outside the scope of
the conference because there is insufficient time in the schedule to
referee such papers; instead, such papers should be submitted to an
appropriate technical journal.


Paper Categories
================

Submissions to SAT 2015 are solicited in three paper categories,
describing original contributions:

  REGULAR PAPERS (9 to 15 pages, excluding references)
    Regular papers should contain original research, with sufficient
    detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution. For
    papers reporting experimental results, authors are strongly
    encouraged to make their data and implementations available with
    their submission. Submissions reporting on case studies are also
    encouraged, and should describe details, weaknesses, and strengths
    in sufficient depth.

  SHORT PAPERS (up to 8 pages, excluding references)
    The same evaluation criteria apply to short papers as to regular
    papers. They will be reviewed to the same standards of quality as
    regular papers, but will naturally contain less quantity of new
    material. Short papers will have the same status as regular papers
    and be eligible for the same awards (to be announced later).

  TOOL PAPERS (up to 6 pages, excluding references)
    A tool paper should describe the implemented tool and its novel
    features. Here "tools" are interpreted in a broad sense, including
    descriptions of implemented solvers, preprocessors, etc., as well
    as systems that exploit SAT solvers or their extensions to solve
    interesting problem domains. A demonstration is expected to
    accompany a tool presentation. Papers describing tools that have
    already been presented previously are expected to contain
    significant and clear enhancements to the tool.

Submissions should not be under review elsewhere nor be submitted
elsewhere while under review for SAT 2015, and should not consist of
previously published material.

Submissions not consistent with the above guidelines may be returned
without review.

Besides the paper itself, authors may submit a supplement consisting
of one file in the format of a gzipped tarball (.tar.gz or .tgz) or a
gzipped file (.gz) or a zip archive (.zip). Authors are encouraged to
submit a supplement when it will help reviewers evaluate the
paper. Supplements will be treated with the same degree of
confidentiality as the paper itself. For example, the supplement might
contain detailed proofs, examples, software, detailed experimental
data, or other material related to the submission. Individual
reviewers may or may not consult the supplementary material; the paper
itself should be self-contained.

Regular papers and short papers may be considered for a best paper
award. If the main author is a student, both in terms of work and
writing, the paper may be considered for a best student-paper
award. Use the supplement to your submission to state (in a brief
cover letter) if the paper qualifies as a student paper.

Links to information on the Springer LNCS style are available through
the SAT 2015 website at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~marijn/sat15/.

All papers submissions are done exclusively via EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sat2015.

One author of each accepted paper is expected to present it at the
conference.


PROCEEDINGS
===========

All accepted papers are expected to be published in the proceedings of
the conference, which will be published within the Springer LNCS
series.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] ECOOP 2015 Call for Workshop Proposals
Message-ID: <20141010112313.GI6338@uwaterloo.ca>

Call for Workshops Proposals

In 2015, the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP),
will be held in Prague, Czech Republic. ECOOP will host an array of
workshops on a variety of topics in computing on July 6th and 7th.
Typically, a workshop either addresses a focused topic in depth or
explores connections between object-oriented technologies and other
areas.

Proposals

A workshop proposal must include the following: duration (1/2, 1, or 2
days); a short abstract; format of the workshop; a list of organizers,
including contact information and short bios; any special requirements.

Schedule

Each workshop will have to pay attention to the following timing
constraints: the workshop?s web page should be up two weeks after
notification of acceptance, the Call for Papers should be public by
February 16th, the deadline for submission April 2nd, and notification
May 1st.

Evaluation

Workshop proposals should be submitted before January 16th, 2015.
Proposals will be reviewed by the workshop chairs as they arrive and
selected based on their relevance to the conference, and timeliness in
their respective topic areas. Notification will be sent within two weeks
of submission. Acceptance will be on a first-come, first-served basis
and limited by room availability.

Special Points

We ask you to set up your PC chair and your web page as soon as
possible. When building your PC, please consider that it is important
that PC members attend the workshop to have lively discussions. It is
motivating for workshop participants to meet experts in the field.
Finally, ECOOP may be able to secure support for invited speakers if we
can advertise speakers before the end of the year.

Dissemination

A proposal should clearly state how the results of the workshop?the
papers and other outcomes?will be made available to participants
and others, both before and after the workshop event. Guidance will
be provided to organizers who wish to publish proceedings in the ACM
Digital Library.

	first call for papers
Message-ID: <CA+ZFbn9hwCXXDiZo8mocKb+nLAiUW2e1AZpZUYX=iHFPa6n8rQ@mail.gmail.com>

Apologies for multiple copies.

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

12th International Conference on Mathematics of Program Construction (MPC
2015)
K?nigswinter, Germany, 29 June - 1 July 2015
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/MPC2015/


BACKGROUND

The MPC conferences aim to promote the development of mathematical
principles
and techniques that are demonstrably practical and effective in the process
of
constructing computer programs, broadly interpreted.

The 2015 MPC conference will be held in K?nigswinter, Germany, from 29th
June to
1st July 2015. The previous conferences were held in Twente, The Netherlands
(1989), Oxford, UK (1992), Kloster Irsee, Germany (1995), Marstrand, Sweden
(1998), Ponte de Lima, Portugal (2000), Dagstuhl, Germany (2002), Stirling,
UK
(2004, colocated with AMAST), Kuressaare, Estonia (2006, colocated with
AMAST),
Marseille, France (2008), Qu?bec City, Canada (2010, colocated with AMAST),
and
Madrid, Spain (2012).


TOPICS

Papers are solicited on mathematical methods and tools put to use in program
construction. Topics of interest range from algorithmics to support for
program
construction in programming languages and systems. The notion of "program"
is
broad, from algorithms to hardware. Some typical areas are type systems,
program
analysis and transformation, programming-language semantics, security, and
program logics. Theoretical contributions are welcome, provided that their
relevance to program construction is clear. Reports on applications are
welcome,
provided that their mathematical basis is evident.

We also encourage the submission of "pearls": elegant, instructive, and fun
essays on the mathematics of program construction.

The 120th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional
Programming will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on
August 30-September 5, 2015.  ICFP provides a forum for researchers
and developers to hear about the latest work on the design,
implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming.

Proposals are invited for workshops (and other co-located events, such
as tutorials) to be affiliated with ICFP 2015 and sponsored by
SIGPLAN. These events should be less formal and more focused than ICFP
itself, include sessions that enable interaction among the attendees,
and foster the exchange of new ideas. The preference is for one-day
events, but other schedules can also be considered.

The workshops are scheduled to occur on August 30 (the day
before ICFP) and September 3-5 (the three days after ICFP).

The program chair must be informed, in advance of submission, of any
closely related work submitted or about to be submitted to a
conference or journal.

Authors of accepted papers are expected to sign copyright release
forms.  One author of each accepted paper is expected to present it at
the conference.


SHORT PRESENTATIONS

A session of short presentations, intended for descriptions of student
research, works in progress, and other brief communications, is
planned. These abstracts will not be published. Dates and guidelines
will be posted on the conference website.


KLEENE AWARD FOR BEST STUDENT PAPER

An award in honor of the late Stephen C. Kleene will be given for the
best student paper(s), as judged by the program committee.


SPECIAL ISSUES

originality is judged based on the novelty of the application or the
depth of the rewriting methods applied. 
System description papers present new software tools in which 
rewriting plays an important role, or significantly new versions 
of such tools. The paper should also include an evaluation of the 
tool.

Message-ID: <543BF1A5.4050607@cs.ucl.ac.uk>

Research Associate position in Automated Verification, Logic and Theorem 
Proving (ref:1439542)
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".

The core of the project is the use of *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 main experimental tool is the cyclic theorem 
prover Cyclist (see https://github.com/ngorogiannis/cyclist ).

The project is under the supervision of Dr. James Brotherston in the 
Programming Principles, Logic and Verification (PPLV) group at UCL; 
others involved in the project include Prof. Byron Cook and Dr. Reuben 
Rowe at UCL, and Dr. Nikos Gorogiannis at Middlesex University. For 
further information about the PPLV group, see http://pplv.cs.ucl.ac.uk .

The Research Associate post is funded full-time until *10 May 2017*, 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, and/or program logics, as evidenced 
by their work history and/or publication record. Expertise in inductive 
theorem proving, separation logic and program analysis techniques is 
particularly welcome, and prior experience in OcaML programming would 
also be beneficial.

The application closing date is *Fri 14 Nov, 2014*, with interviews 
expected to be held in the week beginning *Mon 1 Dec*.

Further information on the position, including salary information and 
how to apply, may be found at:

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoctoral and PhD opportunities in
 language-based security and provenance in LFCS
Message-ID: <CAAdciC39w4edvtNMJgs--nZEik6_m6xeXT2ZO3hL3SwJPYsLdw@mail.gmail.com>

A postdoctoral research position has become available in LFCS, University
of Edinburgh, in language-based security and provenance.  The position is
available January 1, 2015 (the start date has some flexibility) and is for
12 months initially, with possible extension contingent on availability of
funding and performance.

A PhD studentship is also available; please see the following page for
further information about both opportunities:

http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/jcheney/lbps.html

== Project description ==

Provenance, or metadata describing the process by which a computation
produced some data or by which a data resource has been constructed over
time, is important in a variety of contexts, including science,
intelligence gathering, and audit of business data, but so far there is
relatively poor understanding of the theoretical foundations of provenance.
The overarching goal is to develop foundational understanding of provenance
based on ideas from programming languages and language-based security, and
in particular, how the transparency and accountability goals of provenance
tracking might conflict with or complement traditional security policies
and mechanisms.

Applicants should have, at a minimum, a PhD degree (or be close to
completion) in computer science, with a track record of high quality
publications.  A strong background in foundations of programming languages,
databases, or language-based security is required.  Ideal candidates will
have both solid theoretical grounding and experience applying principles in
practical systems.  Previous research experience concerning provenance or
related topics such as trust, program slicing, information flow security,
concurrency, or verification/dependently-typed programming would be
desirable.


The successful applicant will play an important role in one or more of the
following project tasks:


* Enrich and extend formal models of provenance from simple programming
  languages or database query languages to handle features such as
concurrency,
  references, side-effects, notions of location, time, or boundaries of
control.
* Analyze existing proposals for provenance security mechanisms, and
identify
  shortcomings or generalizations leading to a richer understanding of
policies and
  correct mechanisms for provenance
* Develop efficient techniques for integrating provenance-tracking
techniques into
  programming languages or other frameworks.
* Formalize and verify provenance techniques in mechanized proof systems or
  dependently-typed languages such as Coq, Agda or Isabelle/HOL.

For more information about the project background, please consult our
recent publications page here:

http://wcms.inf.ed.ac.uk/lfcs/research/groups-and-projects/database/provenance/#provenance-and-security

== Application instructions ==

A complete application consists of a CV and a 1-2 page research statement
summarizing your background, previous research experience, and how they
relate to this position.

Applications must be submitted by 5pm GMT on November 24, 2014, through the
University of Edinburgh recruitment site:

http://vacancies.ed.ac.uk
Reference number:  031702

or directly by following this link:

https://www.vacancies.ed.ac.uk/pls/corehrrecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobspec?p_id=031702

Interviews will likely be held during the first half of December.

Call for Papers

15th International Conference on Runtime Verification (RV) 2015
September 22 - September 25 2015
Vienna, Austria

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

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.

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

Research Papers Track:

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

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 volume. Submitted papers must use the LNCS style. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend RV'15 to present the paper. Papers must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair 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.

               - 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.

Program Committee

http://rv2015.conf.tuwien.ac.at/?page_id=18#program_committee

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

Tool Demonstration Track:

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

The aim of the RV 2015 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'15 to present the paper. Papers must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair 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.

Tool 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

Submission Guidelines
--------------------

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 12
pages, including references, in LNCS style presenting original
research on the theory of Computer Science.  All submissions will be
electronic via the EasyChair page for the conference, with three
tracks (A, B and C):

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icalp2015

Submissions should be made to the appropriate track of the conference.
No prior publication or simultaneous submission to other publication
outlets (either a conference or a journal) is allowed.

Submissions must adhere to the specified format and
length. Submissions that are too long or formatted incorrectly may be
rejected immediately.  All the technical details that are necessary
for a proper scientific evaluation of a submission must be included in
a clearly-labelled appendix, to be consulted at the discretion of
program committee members. This includes, in particular, the proofs of
all the key theorems in a paper.

Should I submit my paper to Track A or Track C?
------------------------------------------------

While the scope of Tracks A and B are generally well understood given
their long history, the situation for Track C may be less obvious. In
particular, some clarifications may be helpful regarding areas of
potential overlap, especially between Tracks A and C.

The aim for Track C is to be the leading venue for theory papers truly
motivated by networking applications, and/or proposing theoretical
results relevant to real networking, certified analytically, but not
necessarily tested practically. The motivation for the track was the
lack of good venues for theory papers motivated by applications in
networking. On the one hand, the good networking conferences typically
ask for extended experiments and/or simulations, while the TCS
community is hardly able to do such experiments or simulations. On the
other hand, the good conferences on algorithms tend to judge a paper
based only on its technical difficulty and on its significance from an
algorithmic perspective, which may not be the same as when judging the
paper from the perspective of impact on networks.

Several areas of algorithmic study of interest to track C have a broad
overlap with track A. Graph algorithmics can belong in either, though
if the work is not linked to networking, it is more appropriate in
track A. Algorithmic game theory is another area of major
overlap. Aspects involving complexity, the computation of equilibria
and approximations, belong more in Track A, while results with
applications in auctions, networks and some aspects of mechanism
design belong in Track C.

Finally, it should be noted that algorithms and complexity of
message-passing based distributed computing belong squarely in track
C, while certain other aspects of distributed computing do not fall
under its scope.

Best Paper Awards
-----------------

As in previous editions of ICALP, there will be best paper and best
student paper awards for each track of the conference. In order to be
eligible for a best student paper award, a paper should be authored
only by students and should be marked as such upon submission.

This special issue is devoted to the scope of the Third Workshop on
Synthesis, SYNT 2014 (see http://vsl2014.at/synt). SYNT 2014 was
co-located with CAV in the scope of the Vienna Summer of Logic 2014 and
was devoted to bringing together researchers from different research
areas who work on the quickly growing field of synthesis. The special
issue will cover all topics related to synthesis, which includes, but is
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,
- synthesis in systems biology, and
- connections between verification and synthesis.

Submission to this special issue is completely open and not limited to
participants of the SYNT 2014 workshop. We expect original articles
(typically 15-30 pages), which present high-quality contributions that
have not been previously published in a journal and are not concurrently
submitted to any other peer reviewed venue. All submissions should
include some theoretical contribution to the area of synthesis. Extended
versions of contributions previously published in proceedings need to
contain significant new material and should be accompanied by a short
description of the extension.

Submissions should be sent to acta at informatik.uni-oldenburg.de with
subject "Special Issue on Synthesis" and comply with author guidelines
of Acta Informatica (see

1st Workshop on Programming Languages and Verification Technology for Networking
January 12, 2015
Mumbai, India
http://ecee.colorado.edu/plvnet2015/

Co-located with POPL 2015
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE AND FORMAT

Modern networks are large, complex, and critical for society. Unfortunately,
networks can also be unreliable. Network outages are common and often caused by
bugs in network programs and configurations. These kinds of network outages are
likely to become even more common, since networks continue to grow larger and
become more complex. Therefore, we must develop tools and methods to help
operators reason about network behavior, performance, and security.

Over the past several years, there has been a flurry of activity in this space.
Several researchers in programming languages and verification communities have
applied their expertise to develop tools and techniques for building and
reasoning about networks. The goal of this informal workshop is to convene
researchers interesting in applying their techniques to networking. The program
will have both invited and contributed talks and plenty of time for discussion
and debate.

We plan to have a diverse program, including invited talks, contributed talks
and tutorials, and ample time for discussion. This is an informal workshop with
no published proceedings.

Invited Speakers:

- Mooly Sagiv (Tel Aviv University)
- Shriram Krishnamurthi (Brown University)

SUBMISSIONS

We do not have strict formatting guidelines. You may submit either a text file
or a PDF document. Try to keep the abstract short. Please do not exceed two
pages of the standard ACM sigplanconf stylesheet. At least one author of each
submission is expected to register and attend to present the work.

CiE 2015 is the 11th 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), Milan (2013) and Budapest (2014).

Evolution of the universe, and us within it, invite a parallel
evolution in understanding. The CiE agenda - fundamental and
engaged - targets the extracting and developing of computational
models basic to current challenges.  From the origins of life, to
the understanding of human mentality, to the characterising of
quantum randomness - computability theoretic questions arise in
many guises.  The CiE community, this coming year meeting for the
first time in Bucharest, carries forward the search for
coherence, depth and new thinking across this rich and vital
field of research.

In all cases we are looking for fundamental and theoretical
submissions. In line with other conferences in this series, CiE
2015 has a broad scope and provides a forum for the discussion of
theoretical and practical issues in Computability with an
emphasis on new paradigms of computation and the development of
their mathematical theory.

We particularly invite papers that build bridges between
different parts of the research community.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RDP 2015 Second Call for Workshops
(Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming, June-July 2015, Warsaw, Poland)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


RDP 2015 is the eighth edition of the International Conference on
Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming, consisting of two main
conferences

* RTA (Rewriting Techniques and Applications)
* TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications)

Previous RDPs were held in 2003 in Valencia (Spain), 2004 in Aachen
(Germany), 2005 in Nara (Japan), 2007 in Paris (France), 2009 in
Brasilia (Brasil), 2011 in Novi Sad (Serbia), 2013 in Eindhoven (The
Netherlands).

We solicit proposals for satellite workshops of RDP 2015 that are
related in topics to one or both of the RDP conferences.

We plan the workshops to proceed for up to 2 days (possibilities of
longer workshops should be discussed with the organisers). It is
tradition at RDP that attendance to workshops is open to participants
of parallel events, similar to the way FLoC workshops are run. There
will be one day (Sunday, June 28, 2015) reserved for workshops only,
however, it will also be possible to run workshops on the other days
in parallel to one of the main conferences.

RDP will provide the possibility to print workshop proceedings,
details of the procedure will be posted later by the local organising
committee. RDP will not be able to reimburse invited workshop speakers
for travel or living expenses, though it may be possible to waive part
of the registration fees for invited speakers. The priority of RDP
will be to keep registration fees for the conferences and workshops
low.

If you want to organise a workshop, please send the following
information to rdp15 at mimuw.edu.pl:

* Workshop title and description of the topic
* Names and affiliations of the organisers
* Pointers to descriptions of previous editions of the workshop, if any
* Proposed workshop duration (from one day to two days)
* Proposed format and agenda (for example, paper presentations,
  tutorials, demo sessions, etc.)
* Plans for invited speakers or special sessions (round-table
  discussion, tutorials, etc.)
* Estimate of the audience size
* Procedures for selecting papers and participants
* Plans for the publication of proceedings (informal proceedings
  distributed to participants, electronic journal, proceedings with
  separate selection process, etc.)
* Other potential organisational issues


IMPORTANT DATES

Submission of workshop proposals:   November 18, 2014 (Tuesday)
Notification date:                  November 26, 2014 (Wednesday)
Workshop dates:                     June 28-July 3, 2014 (Sunday-Friday)

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 7th NASA Formal Methods Symposium

http://www.NASAFormalMethods.org/nfm2015
<http://www.nasaformalmethods.org/nfm2015>

27 ? 29 April 2015
Pasadena, California, USA

Paper Submission: *** 10 Nov 2014 ***


THEME

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission- and
safety-critical systems require advanced techniques that address their
specification, verification, validation, and certification.

The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is a forum for theoreticians and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government, with the goals of
identifying challenges and providing solutions to achieving assurance in
mission- and safety-critical systems. Within NASA such systems include for
example autonomous robots, separation assurance algorithms for aircraft,
Next Generation Air Transportation (NextGen), and autonomous rendezvous and
docking for spacecraft. Moreover, emerging paradigms such as property-based
design, code generation, and safety cases are bringing with them new
challenges and opportunities. The focus of the symposium will be on formal
techniques, their theory, current capabilities, and limitations, as well as
their application to aerospace, robotics, and other mission- and
safety-critical systems in all design life-cycle stages. We encourage
submissions on cross-cutting approaches marrying formal verification
techniques with advances in critical system development, such as
requirements generation, analysis of aerospace operational concepts, and
formal methods integrated in early design stages and carrying throughout
system development.


TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Model checking
Theorem proving
SAT and SMT solving
Symbolic execution
Static analysis
Runtime verification
Program refinement
Compositional verification
Modeling and specification formalisms
Model-based development
Model-based testing
Requirement engineering
Formal approaches to fault tolerance
Security and intrusion detection
Applications of formal methods to aerospace systems
Applications of formal methods to cyber-physical systems
Applications of formal methods to human-machine interaction analysis

Message-ID: <5450F99C.2050800@rice.edu>

Off the Beaten Track 2015
============================
http://obt15.rice.edu/
January 18, 2015

(Co-located With POPL 2015, Mumbai, India)

Important Dates
---------------

* Paper Submission : Friday, November 7, 2014
* Notification : Friday, November 21, 2014
* Event : Sunday, January 18, 2015

Background
-------------

Programming language researchers have the principles, tools,
algorithms and abstractions to solve a wide variety of problems, in
application areas ranging from other subfields of computer science,
the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the
humanities. However, identifying and evaluating new problems,
particularly those that lie outside the typical core PL problems we
all know and love, can be a significant challenge. Hence, the goal of
this workshop is to identify and discuss problems that do not often
show up in our top conferences, but where programming language
researchers can make a substantial impact. We hope fora like this
will increase the diversity of problems that are studied by PL
researchers and thus increase our community's impact on the world.

While many workshops associated with POPL have become more like
mini-conferences themselves, this is not the goal for OBT. The
workshop will be informal and structured to encourage discussion. We
are at least as interested in problems as in solutions.


Scope
----------

A good submission is one that outlines a new problem or an
interesting, underrepresented problem domain. Good submissions may
also remind the PL community of problems that were once in vogue but
have not recently been seen in top PL conferences. Good submissions do
not need to propose complete or even partial solutions, though there
should be some reason to believe that programming languages
researchers have the tools necessary to search for solutions in the
area at hand. Submissions that seem likely to stimulate discussion
about the direction of programming language research are encouraged.

Use your imagination. It's hard to imagine how a paper that discusses
programming languages could be considered out-of-scope. If in doubt,
ask the program chair.

Submission
----------

Submit Here: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=obt2015

Submissions are restricted to two pages or less in at least 10pt font,
printable on US Letter paper. Submissions are required to be in PDF
format. Authors are free to include links to multimedia
content. Reviewers are not required to peruse these?authors, persuade
them to take a look!

For each accepted submission, we will have a talk at the workshop
given by one of the authors. The length of the talk will depend on the
submissions received and how the program committee decides to assemble
the program.

Reviewing of submissions will be very light. Authors should not expect
a detailed analysis of their submission by the program
committee. Accepted submissions will be posted as is on this web
site. By submitting a document, you agree that if it is accepted, it
may be posted and you agree that one of the co-authors will attend the
workshop and give a talk there. There will be no revision process and
no formal publication.

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 **

Submissions are invited in the general area of foundations of
programming languages for concurrency, communication and
distribution. Specific topics include: language design and
implementations for communications and/or concurrency, program
analysis, session types, multicore programming, use of message passing
in systems software, interface languages for communication and
distribution, concurrent data types, concurrent objects and actors,
web services, novel programming methodologies for sensor networks,
integration of sequential and concurrent programming, high-level
programming abstractions for security concerns in concurrent,
distributed programming, and runtime architectures for concurrency,
scalability and/or resource allocations. Papers are welcome which
present novel and valuable ideas as well as experiences.


** Invited Speaker **

The notion of continuation is ubiquitous in many different areas of
computer science, including systems programming, programming languages,
algorithmics, semantics, logic, and constructive mathematics. In fact 
the concept
of continuation nicely realizes sophisticated control mechanisms, which are
widely used in a variety of applications. Since we cannot escape control 
features,
it becomes a challenge to provide them with sound reasoning principles. 
Indeed
there is much research activity on understanding, representing, and 
reasoning
about elaborated non-local control structures, in particular in 
declarative programming
languages such as functional and logic languages.

WoC 2015 is a new venue, continuing and broadening the scope of COS'13, 
held in
Eindhoven. WoC 2015 offers a forum for the presentation and discussion of
continuation-based constructs in programming languages, whether in the 
style of Curry
(terms first, types later (maybe)) or in the style of Church (types

THEME

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission- and
safety-critical systems require advanced techniques that address their
specification, verification, validation, and certification.

The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is a forum for theoreticians and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government, with the goals of
identifying challenges and providing solutions to achieving assurance in
mission- and safety-critical systems. Within NASA such systems include for
example autonomous robots, separation assurance algorithms for aircraft,
Next Generation Air Transportation (NextGen), and autonomous rendezvous and
docking for spacecraft. Moreover, emerging paradigms such as property-based
design, code generation, and safety cases are bringing with them new
challenges and opportunities. The focus of the symposium will be on formal
techniques, their theory, current capabilities, and limitations, as well as
their application to aerospace, robotics, and other mission- and
safety-critical systems in all design life-cycle stages. We encourage
submissions on cross-cutting approaches marrying formal verification
techniques with advances in critical system development, such as
requirements generation, analysis of aerospace operational concepts, and
formal methods integrated in early design stages and carrying throughout
system development.
TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - Model checking
   - Theorem proving
   - SAT and SMT solving
   - Symbolic execution
   - Static analysis
   - Runtime verification
   - Program refinement
   - Compositional verification
   - Modeling and specification formalisms
   - Model-based development
   - Model-based testing
   - Requirement engineering
   - Formal approaches to fault tolerance
   - Security and intrusion detection

CALL FOR PAPERS
TPDP 2015
First workshop on the Theory and Practice of Differential Privacy
18th April 2015, London, UK
Affiliated to ETAPS
http://tpdp.computing.dundee.ac.uk

Differential privacy is a promising approach to the privacy-preserving
release of data: it offers a strong guaranteed bound on the increase
in harm that a user incurs as a result of participating in a
differentially private data analysis.

Researchers in differential privacy come from several area of computer
science as algorithms, programming languages, security, databases,
machine learning, as well as from several areas of statistics and data
analysis. The workshop is intended to be an occasion for researchers
from these different research areas to discuss the recent developments
in the theory and practice of differential privacy.

**Submissions**

The overall goal of TPDP is to stimulate the discussion on the
relevance of differentially private data analyses in practice. For
this reason, we seek contributions from different research areas of
computer science and statistics.

Authors are invited to submit a short abstract (4-5 pages maximum) of
their work by January 23, 2015. Abstracts must be written in English
and be submitted as a single PDF file at the EasyChair page for TPDP:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tpdp2015

Submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, interest and
clarity. Submission should describe novel works or works that have
already appeared elsewhere but that can stimulate the discussion
between the different communities. Accepted abstracts will
be presented at the workshop.

The workshop will not have formal proceedings, but we plan to have a
special issue of the Journal of Privacy and Confidentiality devoted to
TPDP. Authors presenting valuable contributions at the workshop will
be invited to submit a journal version of their work right after the
workshop.


**Important Dates**

-January 23, 2015 - Abstract Submission
-February 10, 2015 - Notification
-February 14, 2015 - Deadline early registration ETAPS
-April 18, 2015 - Workshop

**Topics**

Specific topics of interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to):
theory of differential privacy,
verification techniques for differential privacy,
programming languages for differential privacy,
models for differential privacy,
trade-offs between privacy protection and analytic utility,
differential privacy and surveys,
relaxations of the differential privacy definition,
differential privacy vs other privacy notions and methods,

Research grant at the Department of Computer Science and Enginnering of
University of Bologna

Dear All,

The Department of Computer Science and Enginnering of the University of
Bologna is about to open a post-doctoral position on:

  Design and Implementation of a Constraint Logic Programming Language
  based on Lambda-Prolog

- Contact for inquiries or application: Prof. Claudio Sacerdoti Coen
  <claudio.sacerdoticoen at unibo.it>
- Duration: 1 year
- Starting date: the starting date is flexible
- Keywords: constrained logic programming, binders, higher-order programming,
  interactive theorem proving
- Location: Department of Computer Science and Engineering
  http://www.cse.unibo.it/en
  University of Bologna http://www.unibo.it/en/homepage
- Collaborations: the research activity is part of a larger project with
  Prof. Dale Miller, INRIA Saclay - ?le-de-France
  Dr. Enrico Tassi, INRIA Sophia-Antipolis
  It will be possible to temporarily visit the two sites for short periods.

The gross salary of the research fellowship contract is EURO 26.174,00 per annum.
The salary is exempt of withholding tax and includes all statutory social
security charges the Research Fellow is subject to (the research fellow has to
pay ~10% of taxes only).

The starting date is flexible. The contract is renewable for one year.

The applicant must have a PhD in computer science with a strong background on
the implementation of (logic) programming languages. Further knowledge on
constraint programming, static interpretation of programs and interactive
theorem proving is a plus.

Description of the research activity:
  The middle term goal is the certified implementation of an interactive
  theorem prover like Coq (http://coq.inria.fr) or Matita
  (http://matita.cs.unibo.it) using a constraint logic programming language.
  The logic part of the language needs to deal with higher order abstract
  syntax and binders to raise the level of abstraction of the implementation.
  The constraint handling part will deal with the proof obligations that are
  opened during an interactive proof. The flavour of constraint programming
  will be novel: the constraints are not pre-determined by the language, but
  are dynamically described by the user in the program itself. The constraint
  propagation rules are also described by the user as theorems, to be stated
  and proved in an extension of the theorem prover Abella
  http://abella-prover.org.

  We currently have a prototype based on an extension of the Lambda-Prolog
  language (http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~dale/lProlog/) to deal with
  that kind of constraints. The job of the applicant consists in re-designing
  the language extension and in reimplementing the prototype from scratch to
  maximize the performance and to integrate the constraint propagation rules
  in the most elegant way.

Please forward this email to possible applicants.

Best regards,
Claudio Sacerdoti Coen

Inspired by the successes of the one-day *Industry Workshop on Verification
of Embedded Control Systems* hosted by the CMACS NSF Expedition in
Computing at CMU in 2011, we have decided to extend the workshop to a wider
audience of academics and have a greater focus on identifying the
foundational challenges facing CPS in the future.  The workshop will give
participants the opportunity to share the most important core
ideas and challenges in CPS and invite an open collaborative discussion to
identify the most pressing issues at hand in CPS verification and validation.


Apply:
This workshop is a great opportunity for senior grad
students and postdocs to make industry and academic connections and
for junior grad students to get a broader picture of the CPS community, the
major challenges we face, and the role of academia in cutting
edge V&V research. We encourage grad students and postdocs to apply to
attend CPS V&V IC&F.  The NSF has provided limited travel funds to support
student attendance.  Students must submit an application to attend the
workshop by *November 11th* (applications can be submitted here:

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

* By Friday, 27 February 2015, 23:59 UTC-11 (anywhere in the world),
  submit a full paper of at most 12 pages (6 pages for an Experience
  Report) in standard ACM conference format, including bibliography,
  figures, and appendices.

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 will have a choice of one of three ways to manage their
publication rights.  These choices are described at

    http://authors.acm.org/main.html

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.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Last call for Proposals for Workshops at FM2015
 (20th Intl. Symposium on Formal Methods); 22.-26. June, 2015, Oslo
Message-ID: <54609D4D.2070509@utwente.nl>

News: extra support for workshops offered by FME board

Deadline for proposals: November 14, 2014

CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR WORKSHOPS

The 20th International Symposium on Formal Methods (FM 2015) will take 
place in Oslo, Norway, June 22-26, 2015. For this major event, we are 
inviting people to submit proposals for workshops.

The purpose of the workshops is to provide an informal setting for 
workshop participants to discuss technical issues, exchange research 
ideas, and to discuss and/or demonstrate applications. These workshops 
may be driven by fundamental academic interests or by needs from 
specific application domains. We encourage a diversity of workshops 
relating to different varieties of formal models. We also explicitly 
welcome satellite events in a non-traditional format, such as formal 
methods-related competitions.

To give an extra impulse to the success of workshops, the FME board 
offers the possibility to apply for an extra support of 500 euro to 
workshops and tutorials. This can be used e.g. to waive the fee of an 
invited speaker, the organizer(s) of a tutorial, partial coverage of a 
workshop dinner, making manual or books available to tutorial 
participants, or any specific things that may contribute to the 
scientific quality and/or social interaction within the workshop. Exact 
details on how to apply for this support will be provided when the 
workshop proposal is accepted.

All workshop proposals must be written in English.

Proposals for workshops should be no more than 3 pages in length and 
submitted to the Workshops chair before November 14, 2014 (see below).

A workshop proposal should include a draft call-for-papers containing at 
least the following information:

     Title and brief technical description of the workshop, specifying 
the goals and the technical issues that will be its focus.
     The names and contact information (web page, email address) of the 
Programme Committee (PC) chairs, i.e., the workshop organisers. 
Moreover, a tentative list of workshop PC members should be given. We 
suggest one or two PC chairs and at least 10 PC members coming from 
different countries.

Moreover, the following additional information is requested:

     If the workshop has taken place before:
         How often has the workshop taken place so far?
         Which conference(s) has the workshop been colocated with so far?
         Number of participants in the last installment.
     A discussion of the proposed format and agenda.
     The proposed duration (half, one or two days).
     Procedures for selecting participants and papers.
     Potential invited speakers.
     Expected number of participants.

Each workshop programme chair will be responsible for the following:

     Producing a web page and a "Call for Papers/Participation" for 
their workshop.
     Providing a brief description of the workshop for the conference 
web page and programme, and providing a workshop web page the conference 
can refer to for details.
     Selecting the papers for the workshop proceedings and providing the 
camera ready copies ready for publication.
     All advertising of the workshop beyond web page advertising.
     Appointing session chairs, etc.

The local organisation of the conference will take care of the 
production of informal or electronic workshop proceedings, assuming that 
the proceedings are camera ready.

Submission of Workshop Proposals

Proposals should be submitted as a PDF file. Please send your proposals 
and any inquiries by electronic mail to the Workshop chairs:

Marieke Huisman <M.Huisman at utwente.nl> and Volker Stolz <stolz at ifi.uio.no>.

Message-ID: <546130B1.4050803@mimuw.edu.pl>

[apologies for cross posting]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RDP 2015 Last Call for Workshops
(Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming, June-July 2015, Warsaw, Poland)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


RDP 2015 is the eighth edition of the International Conference on
Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming, consisting of two main
conferences

* RTA (Rewriting Techniques and Applications)
* TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications)

Previous RDPs were held in 2003 in Valencia (Spain), 2004 in Aachen
(Germany), 2005 in Nara (Japan), 2007 in Paris (France), 2009 in
Brasilia (Brasil), 2011 in Novi Sad (Serbia), 2013 in Eindhoven (The
Netherlands).

We solicit proposals for satellite workshops of RDP 2015 that are
related in topics to one or both of the RDP conferences.

We plan the workshops to proceed for up to 2 days (possibilities of
longer workshops should be discussed with the organisers). It is
tradition at RDP that attendance to workshops is open to participants
of parallel events, similar to the way FLoC workshops are run. There
will be one day (Sunday, June 28, 2015) reserved for workshops only,
however, it will also be possible to run workshops on the other days
in parallel to one of the main conferences.

RDP will provide the possibility to print workshop proceedings,
details of the procedure will be posted later by the local organising
committee. RDP will not be able to reimburse invited workshop speakers
for travel or living expenses, though it may be possible to waive part
of the registration fees for invited speakers. The priority of RDP
will be to keep registration fees for the conferences and workshops
low.

If you want to organise a workshop, please send the following
information to rdp15 at mimuw.edu.pl:

* Workshop title and description of the topic
* Names and affiliations of the organisers
* Pointers to descriptions of previous editions of the workshop, if any
* Proposed workshop duration (from one day to two days)
* Proposed format and agenda (for example, paper presentations,
   tutorials, demo sessions, etc.)
* Plans for invited speakers or special sessions (round-table
   discussion, tutorials, etc.)
* Estimate of the audience size
* Procedures for selecting papers and participants
* Plans for the publication of proceedings (informal proceedings
   distributed to participants, electronic journal, proceedings with
   separate selection process, etc.)
* Other potential organisational issues

Digital and computational solutions are becoming the prevalent means for the
generation, communication, processing, storage and curation of mathematical
information. Separate communities have developed to investigate and build
computer based systems for computer algebra, automated deduction, and
mathematical publishing as well as novel user interfaces. While all of these
systems excel in their own right, their integration can lead to synergies
offering significant added value. The Conference on Intelligent Computer
Mathematics (CICM) offers a venue for discussing and developing solutions 
to the great challenges posed by the integration of these diverse areas.

CICM has been held annually as a joint meeting since 2008, co-locating
related conferences and workshops to advance work in these
subjects. Previous meetings have been held in Birmingham (UK 2008),
Grand Bend (Canada 2009), Paris (France 2010), Bertinoro (Italy 2011),
Bremen (Germany 2012), Bath (UK 2013), and Coimbra (Portugal 2014).

This is a (short version of the) call for papers for CICM 2015, which
will be held in Washington, D.C., 13-17 July 2015.

Rice University's Department of Computer Science is looking to hire
postdoctoral researchers in the area of automated software synthesis
and repair. The work is on Pliny, a large multi-institution project on
approaches to synthesis and repair that take advantage of information
extant in a large database of pre-existing code. The project is
expected to push the horizons of automated reasoning about software in
radically new ways.  It is also a highly visible project -- see, for
example:

Cyber-Physical Week  2015
Seattle, WA, USA

Web Page: http://nsv2015.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/

Important Dates
===============

Submissions deadline:    ** January 30, 2015 **
Notification:            Feb 27, 2015
Final version:           March 8, 2015
Workshop:                April 13, 2015


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.  Design and verification of
numerical algorithms has a unique set of challenges, which set it
apart from rest of software verification. To achieve the verification
and validation of global properties, numerical techniques need to
precisely represent local behaviors of each component. The
implementation of numerical techniques on modern hardware adds another
layer of approximation because of the use of finite representations of
infinite precision numbers that usually lack basic arithmetic
properties such as commutativity and associativity. Finally, the
development and analysis of cyber-physical systems (CPS) which involve
the interacting continuous and discrete components pose a further
challenge. It is hence imperative to develop logical and mathematical
techniques for the reasoning about programmability and reliability.
The NSV workshop is dedicated to the development of such techniques.


Topics
===============

The scope of the workshop includes, but is not restricted to, the
following topics:

- Quantitative and qualitative analysis of hybrid systems
- Models and abstraction techniques
- Optimal control of dynamical systems
- Parameter identification for hybrid systems
- Numerical optimization methods
- Hybrid systems verification
- Applications of hybrid systems to systems biology
- Propagation of uncertainties, deterministic and probabilistic models
- Specifications of correctness for numerical programs

CALL FOR PAPERS
DICE 2015
Sixth workshop on Developments in Implicit Computational Complexity
12 April 2015, London, UK
Affiliated to ETAPS
http://dice15.computing.dundee.ac.uk

DICE is a thematic workshop in the field of Implicit Computational Complexity,
where researchers in the area can meet and discuss their most recent results.
It takes place annually as part of ETAPS.

The area of Implicit Computational Complexity (ICC) has grown from several
proposals for using logic and formal methods to provide languages for
complexity-bounded computation (e.g. PTIME, LOGSPACE computation).
Its aim is to study computational complexity without reference to external
measuring conditions or particular machine models, but only in terms of language
restrictions or logical/computational principles implying complexity properties.

DICE 2015 will be colocated with FOPARA. The colocation will be an
occasion for strengthen the interactions between the community working
on ICC and the one working more broadly on resource analysis.

**Submissions**

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of up to 5 pages by
January 30, 2015 to the DICE 2014 EasyChair page
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dice2015

Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop.

Abstracts must be written in English and be submitted as a single PDF file.

Submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, interest and clarity.
Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop. Abstract can contain
material already published elsewhere before the workshop. Preference will be
given to abstracts containing novel work (including work in progress).

The workshop will not have formal proceedings and is not intended to
preclude later publication at another venue.

**Important Dates**

- January 30, 2015 - Abstract Submission

- February 12, 2015 - Notification

- April 12, 2015 - Workshop


**Topics**
types for controlling complexity
logical systems for implicit computational complexity
linear logic
semantics of complexity-bounded computation
rewriting and termination orderings
interpretation-based methods for implicit complexity
programming languages for complexity-bounded computation
theoretical foundations of program complexity analysis
theoretical foundations of program complexity analysis

Summary 

Web tracking refers to a collection of techniques that allow websites to create profiles of theirs users. While such profiles might be useful for personalised advertising, it is generally considered a problem which brings user privacy under attack. Whenever a user opens a new web page, she has no way to know whether she is being tracked and by whom. 

The goal of this PhD thesis is formally state the security problems in web tracking and develop sound and practical tools to cope with this kind of silent attacks. Such tools will be based on static and dynamic analysis of client-side programs (usually JavaScript) as well as its interactions with various APIs. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential applicants should have
 
* Master degree in computer science or equivalent degree
* a strong background knowledge in formal program semantics. Ideal candidates will have both solid theoretical grounding and experience in implementing theory in real applications. Knowledge of web technologies, language-based security, compilers, and, JavaScript language is highly appreciated.
* good communication skills and fluency in English (French language is not required), the ability to work both independently and in a team.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application 

Your application should include a motivation letter, and a CV with at least two addresses of potential referees.
Interested candidates are invited to contact Tamara Rezk and Nataliia Bielova via email (tamara.rezk at inria.fr,  nataliia.bielova at inria.fr)

The goal of this PhD activity is to develop and investigate new methods and concepts for verification of Mixed-Signal Smart Power ICs for various automotive applications, like lighting, heating, power distribution, motor driving etc. Short time to market requirements, increasing complexity, miniaturisation of modern ICs and latest safety standards result in stringent requirements and considerable effort for the pre-silicon verification process. To satisfy these needs Infineon Technologies Austria together with KAI and the Vienna University of Technology will set up a research project on new methods and concepts for IC verification. 

Within this PhD activity your tasks will be 

Behavioral modelling of analog macro-blocks in VHDL, VHDL-AMS, Verilog-A(MS)
Definition of analog mixed-signal test metrics including coverage models and fault models
Evaluation of the performances of ?concolic? (concrete and symbolic) test methods on smart power ICs
Generation of automatic test patterns for full chip pre and post verification to meet the targeted coverage goals
Investigation on SAT and SMT methods for ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation)

The duration of the PhD-project is 3 years. The student will be placed at TU Vienna and will closely cooperate with the IC developments groups at Infineon Technologies and KAI in Villach. This project will be supervised by Prof. Radu Grosu (radu.grosu at tuwien.ac.at) from the Vienna University of Technology. 

Your Profile

Must have an university degree in either electrical engineering with focus on digital design or in computer engineering with focus on embedded systems.

Work environment
----------------
Software Technology is a core field of research within Computing 
Science. It addresses the study and analysis of approaches to the 
specification, design, development and evolution of software. With a 
focus on program construction, it designs programming and language 
formalisms and methodologies, constructs tools to support these, and 
develops techniques for automated program analysis (e.g., type systems) 
and software generation. The research methods used in t field range from 
mathematical proofs to the development of practical development 
platforms and the empirical evaluation of such platforms. Research 
developments in the field of Software Technology are guided to a large 
extent by emerging technologies and information needs in society, which 
require that reliable software be developed quickly and effectively.

According to the Information Society Technologies Advisory Group (ISTAG) 
of the Commission of the European Communities, Information Society & 
Media, software is instrumental in propagating innovative ideas from a 
scientific research laboratory to profitable application, and hence, the 
software has become the basis for innovation and the prime industrial 
differentiator.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] CfP: Graphs as Models (ETAPS workshop), 11-12
 April 2015; deadline 16 Jan 2015
Message-ID: <546DDD01.5030107@utwente.nl>


============================================================================
                                Call for Papers

                         GRAPHS AS MODELS (GaM 2015)
                         First International Workshop

                           http://utwente.nl/gam2015/

             Satellite Event of ETAPS 2015, London -- 11-12 April 2015

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


=== Description ===

     Graphs are used as models in all areas of computer science: 
examples are
state space graphs, control flow graphs, syntax graphs, UML-type models 
of all
kinds, network layouts, social networks, dependency graphs, and so 
forth. Used
to model a particular phenomenon or process, graphs are then typically 
analysed
to find out properties of the modelled subject, or transformed to construct
other types of models.

     The new Graphs as Models (GaM) workshop combines the strengths of two
pre-existing workshop series: GT-VMT (Graph Transformation and Visual 
Modelling
Techniques) and GRAPHITE (Graph Inspection and Traversal Engineering), 
but also
solicits research from other related areas, such as Social Network 
Analysis and
Bioinformatics.


=== Topics ===

     This workshop seeks to attract and stimulate research on the 
techniques for
graph analysis, inspection and transformation, on a general level rather 
than in
any specific domain. Thus, the concept of a graph (in its many guises) is
central; contributions should address scenarios for the use of graphs in a
modelling context that potentially transcend specific settings and can be
applied across domains. Good, well-known examples of such techniques are 
model
checking and graph transformation; but we welcome contributions on any 
of the
following (non-exhaustive) list of topics:

   - The use of graphs in software development, such as synthesis, planning,
     bug mitigation and repair.
   - The use of graphs in software analysis, such as verification, testing,
     static analysis, and simulation.
   - Graph search optimisation techniques such as state space reduction
     techniques and search heuristics.
   - Graph algorithms exploiting parallel and distributed architectures, 
such
     as clusters, grids and cloud platforms.
   - Graph algorithms exploiting dedicated hardware, such as graphics
     processing units and massive storage.
   - Dedicated algorithms or implementation techniques for graph matching,
     isomorphism checking, graph distance and other graph-based problems.
   - Stochastic processes on graphs, including random walks.
   - Analysis of large graphs, such as large state spaces, social 
network graphs,
     large networks, and big (graph) data.
   - Visual language definition and syntax, such as meta-modelling, 
grammars and
     graphical parsing.
   - Static and dynamic semantics of visual languages, including OCL, graph
     constraints, simulation and animation.
   - Model-to-model and model-to-text transformations and their 
application in
     model-driven development.
   - Visual modelling techniques and graph transformations for systems with
     quality properties like performance, real-time, safety, 
reliability, and
     energy consumption.
   - Case studies and applications.
   - Tool support for any of the above.


=== Workshop Format ===

This is a two-day workshop programmed as a mixture of:

   - Submitted paper presentations.
   - Fully interactive sessions, such as:
     . Community challenges:
       What open issues do you see? What unresolved, graph-related 
problems are
       you facing? Give a 5-minute presentation and receive 10 minutes of
       feedback and in-depth discussion from an involved audience.
     . Brainstorm groups:
       Be part of a small group for a 45-minute brainstorm discussion on 
a chosen
       topic concerning the use of graphs as models; think out of the 
box and
       bring back your conclusions afterwards.
     . Informal tool demos:
       Convince the audience in 10 minutes that they really need the
       functionality your graph-based tool offers.


=== Submissions ===

The workshop seeks submissions of three kinds:

   1.) Full papers: We solicit papers of up to 15 pages, in LaTeX format,
       containing original results. Accepted papers will be published in 
EPTCS
       (Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science).

   2.) Work-in-progress papers: We solicit papers of up to 15 pages, in 
LaTeX
       format, describing ongoing research. Accepted papers will be 
presented at
       the workshop and might be selected for publication in EPTCS.

   3.) Informal tool demo proposals: Tool demos limited to 10 minutes. 
Proposals
       will not be reviewed, unless selection turns out to be needed.

Submissions of type 1.) and 2.) must adhere to the EPTCS format available at

       http://style.eptcs.org/

All contributions, including those of type 3.), should be submitted through

Pharo Days 2015
http://pharodays2015.pharo.org

January 29 & 30, Lille, France
INRIA Lille, building A, 40 avenue Halley, F-59650 Villeneuve d?Ascq

http://pharo.org/

Pharo is a new simple and powerful programming language that gives you
total control over your programming experience. It is a pure
object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment (think IDE
and OS rolled into one). It is focused on simplicity and immediate feedback
at any moment of your development: developping, testing, debugging. Even in
production environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying
steps again!

Pharo is yours: Pharo is made by an incredible community, with more than 80
contributors for the last revision of the platform and hundreds of people
contributing constantly with frameworks and libraries.

== Pharo Days ==

Start the year in the right spirit by joining the Pharo community for the
Pharo Days 2015 on Thursday January 29 and Friday January 30 at INRIA,
Lille, France. Meet your online colleagues, programmers and hackers in real
life and experience how much you can pick up in just two days. Learn about
key technologies, talk to core developers and other users, pair program and
contribute to Pharo. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

Each day has a similar schedule. The morning consists of a handful of
twenty minute tech talks, the afternoon is a coding sprint and open pair
programming workspace. There will be a general assembly of both the Pharo
Consortium and the Pharo Association. On the first days there will be a
parallel Getting Started with Pharo tutorial in the afternoon.

The very first Pharo conference took place in Annecy in February 2011. In
May 2012 the second Pharo Conference took place, over two days, in Lille.
It was a huge success, with about 60 people participating. It had a very
positive effect on the community and on those who participated. In April
2013 there was a third well attended Pharo Conference in Bern. In June
2013, there was also a successful Web specific Pharo one-day event in
Lille. Join us again this time.

== Pricing ==

The Pharo Days are a two day event with catering included (2 lunches, 1
diner, drinks and snacks) in a nice environment with full facilities (main
room, auxiliary rooms, office furtniture and wireless network).

? 199 ? Regular
? 149 ? For individual Pharo Association Members
? 89 ? For individual Pharo Gold Association Members
? 89 ? For Pharo Consortium Members (1, 2 or 4 for silver, bronze or gold)
? 39 ? Students (excluding diner)
? 19 ? Student Volunteers (excluding diner)

== Registration ==

For official registration we are using EventBrite. You can buy tickets
using PayPal and hence any credit card. If absolutely necessary, you can
opt for an off line payment. Please register on time.

For social registration you can use Lanyrd or Doodle. Spread the word:

July 6-10, 2015 - Prague, Czech Republic

****************************************
Call for Workshops Proposals
****************************************

<http://2015.ecoop.org/track/ecoop15-workshops>

In 2015, the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP),
will be held in Prague, Czech Republic. ECOOP will host an array of
workshops on a variety of topics in computing on July 6th and 7th.
Typically, a workshop either addresses a focused topic in depth or explores
connections between object-oriented technologies and other areas.

A workshop proposal must include the following: duration (1/2, 1, or 2
days); a short abstract; format of the workshop; a list of organizers,
including contact information and short bios; any special requirements.

* Schedule *

Each workshop will have to pay attention to the following timing
constraints: the workshop?s web page should be up two weeks after
notification of acceptance, the Call for Papers should be public by
February 16th, the deadline for submission April 2nd, and notification May
1st.

* Evaluation *

Workshop proposals should be submitted before January 16th, 2015. Proposals
will be reviewed by the workshop chairs as they arrive and selected based
on their relevance to the conference, and timeliness in their respective
topic areas. Notification will be sent within two weeks of submission.

ECOOP 2015 solicits high quality submissions describing original and
unpublished results. It encourages innovative and creative solutions
to real problems, evaluations of existing solutions in ways that shed
new insights, or both. Following recent precedent, it also encourages
the submission of reproduction studies. The programme committee will
evaluate the technical contribution of each submission as well as its
general relevance and accessibility to the ECOOP audience according the
following criteria:

Originality

The paper presents new ideas and/or results relevant to object
technology and related software development technologies, and places
these appropriately within the context established by previous research
in the field. The paper clearly identifies what this contribution has
accomplished and how it relates to previous work.

Significance

The results in the paper have the potential to add to the state of the
art or practice in important or significant ways. The paper challenges
or changes informed opinion about what is possible, true or likely.

Evidence

The paper presents evidence supporting its claims. Examples of evidence
include formalizations and proofs, implemented systems, experimental
results, statistical analyses and case studies.

Clarity

The paper presents its claims and results clearly. It is organized so
that it is easily understood by an audience with varied expertise.

For reproduction studies: Empirical Evaluation

Common in other sciences, reproduction means independently
reconstructing an experiment in a different context (e.g. virtual
machine, platform, class of applications) in order to validate or
refute important results of earlier work. A good reproduction study
will include thorough empirical evaluation, meeting high statistical
standards. It will contain a detailed comparison with the previous
results, seeking reasons for possible disagreements.

As is tradition, ECOOP Proceedings are published in Springer LNCS.

Paper Submission

Only papers that have not been published and are not under review for
publication elsewhere can be submitted. Double submissions will be
rejected without review. If major parts of an ECOOP submission have
appeared elsewhere in any form, authors are required to notify the
ECOOP 2015 programme chair and to explain the overlap and relationship.
Authors are also required to inform the programme chair about closely
related work submitted to another conference while the ECOOP submission
is under review.

Submissions will be carried out electronically via the Hotcrp website:

http://ecoop15.hotcrp.com/

Papers must be written in English, and be no longer than 25 pages
using the LNCS style, including references, figures and integral
appendices. See below for information about additional appendices. For
more information about formatting, please consult the Springer LNCS web
site:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Reviewing

Following the recent history of other programming language conferences,
ECOOP 2015 will use light double-blind reviewing whereby authors?
identities are withheld until the reviewer submits their review (as
usual, reviews are also anonymous). To facilitate this, submitted papers
must adhere to two rules:

author names and institutions must be omitted, and

references to authors? own related work should be in the third
person (e.g., not ?We build on our previous work ?? but rather
?We build on the work of ??).

However, nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens
the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). A document answering frequently asked questions that
hopefully addresses many common concerns is available:
http://2015.ecoop.org/track/research-track#FAQ-on-Double-Blind-Reviewing
When in doubt, contact the programme chair.

Additional Material

Clearly marked additional appendices, not intended for the final
publication, containing supporting proofs, analyses, statistics, etc,
may be included beyond the 25 page limit. There is also an option on
the paper submission page to submit supplementary material, e.g., a
technical report including proofs, or the software used to implement
a system that cannot easily be anonymized. This material will be made
available to reviewers after the initial reviews have been completed
when author names are revealed. As usual, reviewers may choose to use
the supplemental material or not at their discretion. However, the paper
must stand alone and reviewers are under no obligation to read any
additional material. Reviewers are more likely to consult additional
appendices rather than separate technical reports.

Authors of papers that have been submitted but not accepted by previous
prestigious conferences may additionally submit a Note to Reviewers.
The Note to Reviewers should a) identify the previous venue(s) (e.g.
ESOP ?15, OOPSLA ?14); b) list the major issues identified by the
reviews at those venues; and c) describe the changes made to the paper
in response to those reviews. Such notes will not be made available to
a reviewer until after the initial review has been completed and author
names are revealed.

Response period

Authors will be given a 72-hour period (from Friday, 13 February 2015
to Sunday 15 February 2015) to read and respond to the reviews of their
papers before the programme committee meeting. Responses will have no
length limit but concision will be highly appreciated by the programme
committee.

Artifact Evaluation

To reward the creation of artifacts and support replication of
experiments, authors of accepted research papers can submit artifacts
(such as tools, data, models, or videos) to be evaluated by an Artifact
Evaluation Committee. Artifacts that pass muster will be recognized
formally, and the Artifact Evaluation Committee will give an award for
the best artifact.

28th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium

http://csf2015.di.univr.it/ 
July 14 - 17, 2015 
Verona, Italy

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium is an annual conference
for researchers in computer security. CSF seeks papers on foundational
aspects of computer security, such as 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.

This year, CSF will use a light form of double blind reviewing; see
below.

Topics 
------ 
New results in computer security are welcome. We also encourage
challenge/vision papers, which may describe open questions and raise
fundamental concerns about security. Possible topics for all papers
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 
---------------- 
This year, we strongly encourage papers in three foundational areas of
research we would like to promote at CSF:

  PRIVACY. (Chair: Catuscia Palamidessi.) CSF 2015 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. We especially encourage submissions aiming at
  connecting the computer science point of view on privacy with that
  of other disciplines (law, economics, sociology,...)
 
  VOTING. (Chair: Olivier Pereira.) CSF 2015 will include a special
  session on voting technologies and invites submissions on
  definitions, models and analysis of voting systems or their
  components, including (but not limited to) vote authentication
  mechanisms, ballot tallying techniques, election verifiability and
  audit techniques, election problem recovery. As several countries
  are currently looking for the adoption of voting systems with
  enhanced security features, submissions that inform on deployed
  voting systems or propose original approaches for the design or
  improvement of voting systems are both welcome.

  SECURE SYSTEMS. (Chair: Frank Piessens.) The need for principled
  secure systems is higher than ever, with Internet connectivity
  extending its reach from servers and desktops to mobile devices, and
  (sometimes tiny) embedded systems. Interesting new security designs
  are being studied at all system layers, from protected module
  architectures at the hardware level to language based software
  security. CSF 2015 invites submissions of papers that study
  foundational aspects of such designs and the relations between them,
  including papers on hardware and/or software security architectures,
  policy enforcement mechanisms, secure programming languages, secure
  compilation, and operating system or browser security.

These papers will be reviewed under the supervision of the special
session chairs. They 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 (pending
approval), 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. 

Papers must be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style
available for various document preparation systems at the IEEE
Conference Publishing Services page. 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. 

Following the recent history of other top-quality conferences and
symposia in security, CSF'15 will employ a light form of double-blind
reviewing. To facilitate this, submitted papers must (a) omit any
reference to the authors' names or the names of their institutions,
and (b) reference the authors' own related work in the third person
(e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on
the work of ..."). Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity
that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper
more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be
omitted or anonymized). Please see the conference site for answers to
frequently asked questions (FAQ) that address many common
concerns. When in doubt, contact the program chairs.

Papers failing to adhere to any of the instructions above will be
rejected without consideration of their merits.

Papers should be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF) to the
CSF 2015 submission site: 
  
  https://csf15.hotcrp.com/. 

Papers intended for one of the special sessions should select the
"Privacy", "Voting", or "Secure Systems" option, as appropriate.

At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required to attend CSF
to present the paper.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Assistant Professor / Researcher Position in
 Computer Science, Halmstad University, Sweden
Message-ID: <CANNPCKYB4Xf18KnUGMCtRYToDf8aaXy-YA8c21t8JS1p7XU14w@mail.gmail.com>

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

Assistant Professor / Researcher Position in Computer Science with focus on
Model-Based Testing and Diagnosis at Halmstad University, Sweden

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

Background

===========

The position is funded by the AUTO-CAAS project, which is a joint project
on model-based testing and diagnosis of automotive software,
to be carried out in collaboration with QuviQ and ArcCore companies and to
be funded by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation.


The Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) standard is gaining
momentum with several automotive manufacturers (such as Volvo) and there is
a growing trend towards new vehicle platforms based on the latest versions
of this standard. The standard enables manufacturers to allow Tier-1
suppliers to contract arbitrary Tier-2 software developer for ECUs, as long
as the developed software conforms to the specified behavior according to
AUTOSAR. This is in clear contrast to earlier situation, in which a
preferred Tier-2 developer was appointed to develop software for all Tier-1
hardware suppliers.  This paradigm shift brings about economical and
financial benefits (both for suppliers and manufacturers). However, it also
introduces certain risks and challenges.


The AUTOSAR standard is complex and does leave room for interpretation and
optimizations. In order to be competitive, Tier-2 developers strive after
implementing several optimizations and utilizing room for interpretation of
the standard to make their product out-perform the competition.


The goal of this project is to exploit the technology of model-based
testing in order to detect deviations from the AUTOSAR standard and
furthermore trace the consequences of such deviations into visible
deviating behavior (failures).


Terms of Employment

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

The position will be fixed term 3-year position (renewed yearly with mutual
consent),
as an assistant professor or a (postdoctoral) researcher,
depending on the qualifications and interests of the chosen candidate.

languages. The  goal is  to stimulate research  in the use  of logical
formalisms  and  methods  for  specifying, performing,  and  analyzing
computations,   including   mechanisms   for   mobility,   modularity,
concurrency,  object-orientation,  security,  verification and  static
analysis. Papers related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools
in industry and education are especially solicited. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to

* Functional programming
* Logic programming
* Answer-set programming
* Functional-logic programming
* Declarative visual languages
* Constraint Handling Rules
* Parallel implementation and concurrency
* Monads, type classes and dependent type systems
* Declarative domain-specific languages
* Termination, resource analysis and the verification of declarative 
programs
* Transformation and partial evaluation of declarative languages
* Language extensions for security and tabulation
* Probabilistic modeling in a declarative language and modeling 
reactivity
* Memory management and the implementation of declarative systems
* Practical experiences and industrial application

This   year  the  conference   will  be   co-located  with   the  25th
International   Symposium  on   Logic-Based   Program  Synthesis   and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2015).

The conference will  be held in Siena,  Italy.  Previous symposia were
held  at Canterbury  (UK),  Madrid (Spain),  Leuven (Belgium),  Odense
(Denmark), Hagenberg (Austria),  Coimbra (Portugal), Valencia (Spain),
Wroclaw (Poland),  Venice (Italy), Lisboa  (Portugal), Verona (Italy),
Uppsala  (Sweden),   Pittsburgh  (USA),  Florence   (Italy),  Montreal
(Canada), and Paris (France). You might have a look at the contents of
past PPDP symposia.

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 chair in case of questions).

-- LOCATION --

Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands and celebrated its
2,000th year of existence in 2005. It is situated in the eastern
province of Gelderland, quite near to the German border. The latin
name for Nijmegen, Noviomagus, is a reminder of its Roman past.
Noviomagus means new market and refers to the right to hold a
market as granted by the Romans. In the days of Charlemagne, the
city was called Numaga; later on, this became Nieumeghen and
Nimmegen. However, citizens born and bred in Nijmegen speak
affectionately of Nimwegen.

Nijmegen is one of the warmest cities of the Netherlands, especially
during summer, when the highest temperatures in the country are
usually measured in the triangle Roermond ? Nijmegen ? Eindhoven.
The lack of north-south oriented mountain ranges in Europe make this
area prone to sudden shifts in weather, giving the region a
semi-continental climate.

-- SATELLITE WORKSHOPS --

The workshop is intended to enable presentation of work in progress and
original research proposals. PhD students and young researchers are
particularly encouraged to contribute. CALCO 2015 will run together
with the CALCO Early Ideas Workshop, with dedicated Early Ideas sessions
at the end of each conference day.

-- CALCO Early Ideas Overview --

The CALCO Early Ideas Workshop invites submissions on the same topics
as the CALCO conference: reporting results of theoretical work on the
mathematics of algebras and coalgebras, the way these results can
support methods and techniques for software development, as well as
experience with the transfer of the resulting technologies into
industrial practice. The list of topics of particular interest is
shown on the main CALCO 2015 page.

CALCO Early Ideas presentations will be selected according to originality,
significance, and general interest, on the basis of submitted 2-page short
contributions.  It can be work in progress, a summary of work submitted to a
conference or workshop elsewhere, or work that in some other way might be
interesting to the CALCO audience. A booklet with the accepted short
contributions will be made available.

We encourage PhD students and young researchers to submit Early Ideas papers
to the CALCO 2015 Easychair site as for ordinary submissions, mentioning in
the abstract that the paper is to be considered for an Early Ideas talk.

	probabilistic models
Message-ID: <547B7F5A.7010303@gmail.com>


---------------------------------------------------------
              Call for 2 Postdoc Positions
----------------------------------------------------------

We are seeking applicants for two 1-year post-doctoral research
positions on the topic of coinductive techniques for probabilistic
models, especially models based on the lambda-calculus or process
calculi. The coinductive techniques are meant to be essentially
techniques based on the concept of bisimulation.

The positions are offered at the University of Bologna (Italy), and at
the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon (France), respectively. This work
is in collaboration with the Inria Comete Team (France), and Shanghai
Jiao Tong University (China), in the context of the project PACE:
   http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/daniel.hirschkoff/pace/

The monthly net salary is around 2100 Euros in both cases.

The starting date for each postdoc can be negotiated, but should be
between February and November 2015.

REQUIREMENTS:
* Ph.D. in Computer Science (completed or near completion)
* For the position in Bologna, most important is some research
     background on probabilistic models.
   Other useful background (for both positions) may be
     lambda-calculus, process calculi, type systems, coinductive
     methods, coalgebra, Kleene algebra.

APPLICATION:
* Please send a curriculum, a publication record and a statement of
    interest via e-mail to Ugo Dal Lago (ugo.dallago at unibo.it), Daniel
    Hirschkoff (daniel.hirschkoff at ens-lyon.fr) and
    Davide Sangiorgi (Davide.Sangiorgi at gmail.com); the statement should
    also specify the preferred location, if any.

* Deadline: December 30, 2014.

Dear members of the international PL community:

ACM SIGPLAN gives out several awards each year to recognize
outstanding contributions to the science of programming languages, as
well as the individuals who make those contributions.  These include:

- Programming Languages Achievement Award
- Programming Languages Software Award
- Robin Milner Young Researcher Award
- John C. Reynolds Doctoral Dissertation Award

The recipients of all of the above awards are selected based on
nominations from the PL community.  Unfortunately, these awards (with
the exception of the Doctoral Dissertation award) receive only a
handful of fresh nominations per year.  (Nominations from one year
roll over into the nomination pool for 2 additional years.)

On behalf of the SIGPLAN Executive Committee, I would like to strongly
encourage all of you, members of the international PL community, to
consider submitting nominations for these awards.  It doesn't really
take that much effort: typically just writing a short (200- to
500-word) nomination statement, and listing the names of some esteemed
colleagues who would be willing to write statements in support of the
nomination.  (It is advised that you check that the supporters are in
fact willing to write supporting statements before you submit the
nomination.)

The nomination deadline for all of these awards is January 5, 2015.
The SIGPLAN awards portal is currently open and accepting nominations
at https://awards.sigplan.org.

For more information about the awards, as well as details of the
nomination process and citations for prior recipients, see:
http://www.sigplan.org/Awards/.


The chairs of the 2015 committees for these awards are:

- Achievement Award: Norman Ramsey
- Software Award: Susan Eisenbach
- Milner Award: Julia Lawall
- Dissertation Award: Susan Eisenbach

You are encouraged to contact the appropriate award chair if you have
any questions about the nomination process.

Best regards,
Derek Dreyer

CALL FOR PAPERS

FM 2015 is the twentieth in a series of symposia organized by Formal 
 Methods Europe, an independent association whose aim is to stimulate 
 the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. 
 The symposia have been notably successful in bringing together innovators 
 and practitioners in precise mathematical methods for software and systems 
 development, industrial users, as well as researchers. The FM symposia 
 welcome original papers on research and industrial experience, 
 proposals for workshops and tutorials, entries for the exhibition of 
 software tools and projects, and reports on ongoing doctoral work. 

SCOPE AND TOPICS 

FM 2015 will have the goal of highlighting the development and application 
 of formal methods. This includes uses of formal methods in a variety 
 of disciplines such as medicine, biology, human cognitive modeling, 
 human automation interactions and aeronautics, among others. FM 2015 
 particularly welcomes papers on techniques, tools and experiences 
 in interdisciplinary frameworks, as well as on experience with practical 
 applications of formal methods in industrial and research settings, 
 empirical and experimental validation of tools and methods as well as 
 construction and evolution of formal methods tools. The broad topics 
 of interest for FM 2015 include but are not limited to: 

Interdisciplinary formal methods: techniques, tools and 
 experiences demonstrating formal methods in interdisciplinary 
 frameworks. 

Formal methods in practice: industrial applications of formal
 methods, experience with introducing formal methods in industry,
 tool usage reports, experiments with challenge problems. 
 Authors are encouraged to explain how the use of formal methods has
 overcome problems, lead to improvements in design or provided 
 new insights.

Tools for formal methods: advances in automated verification and
 model-checking, integration of tools, environments for formal
 methods, experimental validation of tools. Authors are encouraged
 to demonstrate empirically that the new tool or environment
 advances the state of the art.

Role of formal methods in software and systems engineering:
 development processes with formal methods, usage guidelines for
 formal methods, method integration. Authors are encouraged 
 to evaluate process innovations with respect to qualitative or 
 quantitative improvements. Empirical studies and evaluations 
 are also solicited.

Theoretical foundations: all aspects of theory related to
 specification, verification, refinement, and static and dynamic
 analysis. Authors are encouraged to explain how their results
 contribute to the solution of practical problems with methods or
 tools.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the Programme
 Committee. They should be in Springer LNCS format and describe, in
 English, original work that has not been published or submitted
 elsewhere.

Authors of papers reporting experimental work are strongly encouraged 
 to make their experimental results available for use by reviewers. 
 Similarly, case study papers should describe significant case studies 
 and the complete development should be made available at the time of 
 review. In other words, the usual criteria for novelty, reproducibility, 
 correctness and the ability for others to build upon the described work
 apply.

Tool papers should explain enhancements made compared to previously 
 published work. A tool paper need not present the theory behind the 
 tool but can focus more on its features, and how it is used, evaluation,
 with screen shots and examples. Authors of tool papers should make 
 their tool available for use by reviewers. 


Papers should be submitted through the FM 2015 EasyChair web site: 

  http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fm2015. 
 
We solicit two categories of papers: 

Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format, 
 not counting references.

Short papers, including tool papers, should not exceed 6 pages, 
 not counting references. Besides tool papers, short papers 
 are encouraged for any subject that can be described within 
 the page limit, and in particular for novel ideas without an 
 extensive experimental evaluation. Short papers will be accompanied 
 by short presentations.

For regular and tool papers, an appendix can provide additional 
 material such as details on proofs or experiments. The appendix 
 is not guaranteed to be read or taken into account by the reviewers 
 and it should not contain information necessary to the understanding 
 and the evaluation of the presented work. Papers will be accepted 
 or rejected in the category in which they were submitted, there 
 will be no "demotions" from a regular to a short paper.


BEST PAPER AWARD
 
FM 2015 will as a new feature have a best paper award. 
 A best paper will be selected among accepted papers, 
 and the award will be presented at the conference.

PUBLICATION

Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings, to
appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

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

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 Conference  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), Bath (U.K. 2013) and Coimbra (Portugal, 2014).

This is a  call for proposals for  workshops to be held  at CICM 2015,
which will be held in Washington D.C. (USA), July 13-17 next year.

The principal tracks of the 2015 meeting will be

  Calculemus (Symbolic Computation and Mechanised Reasoning)
  DML (Towards a Digital Mathematics Library)
  MKM (Mathematical Knowledge Management)
  Systems and Data

Some of the workshops that have been held at past CICM meetings are:

  Automated Reasoning: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice
  Compact Computer Algebra
  Empirically Successful Automated Reasoning for Mathematics
  Intelligent Proof Search
  Mathematical user Interfaces
  OpenMath
  Pen-Based Mathematical Computation
  Programming languages for Mechanized Mathematics Systems
  SCIEnce
  The Notion of Proof

Proposals for workshops  to be held at CICM  2015 are solicited.  Both
well-established workshops and newer or brand new ones are encouraged.

Please provide the following information:
 
 + Workshop title.
 + Names and affiliations of organizers.
 + Brief description of workshop goals and/or topics.

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

Homotopy Type Theory: Programming and  Verification
2 PostDocs, each 4 Years
Universities of Strathclyde and Nottingham

Applications are invited for two postdocs and one PhD student to work on
the recently funded EPSRC grant "Homotopy Type Theory: Programming and
Verification" obtained by Professor Neil Ghani and Dr Conor McBride
(University of Strathclyde), Dr Thorsten Altenkirch (University of
Nottingham) and Dr Nicola Gambino (University of Leeds). One postdoc and
will work on more theoretical aspects of the project in
Nottingham, while the other postdoc will work on implementation issues in
Strathclyde. Nevertheless, the reality is that we will be working as a
team with frequent visits expected between ourselves and our collaborators.

Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) is a revolutionary new approach to type
theory where types are interpreted as spaces, terms as points and
equalities as paths. Decades of research in homotopy theory has uncovered
the structure of such paths and HoTT uses this structure as the basis of
a new theory of equality. Excitingly, within homotopy theory, one
naturally studies higher homotopies of paths between paths and this gives
the higher dimensional structure of equality we previously lacked. The
objective of this grant is to translate the advances of HoTT into more
concrete programming language and verification tools.

                             -------------- Call for Papers --------------



The First International Workshop on Security Aspects of Cyber-Physical Systems (SACPS'15)



http://satoss.uni.lu/sacps2015



in conjunction with ANT-2015 conference

June 2 - 5, 2015 London, UK



SCOPE



Security of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is challenging due to the inherent complexity of CPS. Moreover, it is not sufficient to ascertain the security of the individual components in isolation: threats in CPS systems could also be due to the interaction between the physical, digital and software parts of CPS. Therefore, the system must be studied as a whole, which sets this emerging discipline apart from these individually established fields. This workshop provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing security challenges facing CPS.



Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):



????????? Modeling CPS (formal models, UML, SysML, ADAAL, etc)

????????? Design secure CPS

????????? Risks analysis of CPS

????????? Formal methods for CPS (abstraction, compositional verification, model checking, theorem proving, simulation, testing, etc)

????????? Threat modeling for CPS

????????? Security policies and access control for CPS

????????? Safety and reliability analysis for CPS

????????? Security requirements specification for CPS

????????? Human aspects for CPS

????????? Case studies, tools, and experimental results for CPS



SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS



All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the ANT-2015 proceedings, which will be published by Elsevier. The authors must follow Elsevier guidelines as given in ANT-2014 website (http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-14/). The number of pages for workshop papers is limited to 6 pages. Authors should submit their contributions electronically in PDF format at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sacph2015.

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


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 25th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2015) will be held at the University of Siena,
Siena, Italy; previous symposia were held in Canterbury, 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 2015 will be co-located with PPDP 2015 (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 chair in case of questions).

2015, which you can access through the website of LOPSTR 2015.


Proceedings

The formal post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (to be confirmed).
Full papers can be directly accepted for publication in the formal proceedings,
or accepted only for 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.


Special journal issue

After the symposium, a selection of the best papers will be invited to
 a special
issue of a primary computer science journal. The submissions to the
special issue
must be substantial extensions of the proceedings versions and will
undergo  the
usual journal reviewing process.

Message-ID: <54871D02.9020604@gmail.com>

[Apologies for multiple postings.]

*** SCORE 2016 Student Contest: Call for Participation ***

http://score-contest.org

The Student Contest on Software Engineering (SCORE) is a worldwide
competition for undergraduate and master's level students. It
emphasizes the engineering aspects of software development, not
limited to programming. The fourth edition of the Student Contest on
Software Engineering (SCORE) is part of the 38th International
Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2016) and is currently
underway.

We encourage you to advertise SCORE 2016 to your students, and to
consider using its project topics in the courses you will teach in the
year 2015!

Between January and November 2015, teams of students can enter SCORE
2016: they select a project topic among those offered, and register
following the instructions at score-contest.org. Their goal is to
undertake a full-fledged software engineering project that adheres to
the chosen topic description and encompasses all aspects of the
engineering process, including planning, requirements, design,
implementation, and testing.  Following the best software engineering
practices, teams document the process and its outcomes using formal
and informal notations, configuration management tools, and
process-specific techniques. They collect all artifacts and
documentation and produce a detailed project report. By the 15 January
2016 deadline, teams submit a 20-page summary report, which gives a
self-contained summary of their project development.  Based on the
summary reports, the SCORE Program Committee selects a number of
semi-finalist teams to submit their complete project reports and
artifacts by the 4 March 2016 deadline. After evaluating the complete
reports and artifacts of semi-finalist teams, the SCORE Program
Committee selects a limited number of finalist teams by the 7 April
2016 deadline, and invites them to present their projects at ICSE 2016
in Austin, TX, USA.  Finally, after presentations at ICSE 2016, the
SCORE Program Committee selects the winning team and presents awards
during the conference.


* Important dates *

December 2014: List of project topics available on SCORE's website.

January 2015 to November 2015: Registration is open for teams entering
                                the contest.

LCTES 2015
ACM SIGPLAN/SIGBED Conference on
Languages, Compilers, Tools and Theory for Embedded Systems

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

LCTES provides a link between the programming languages and embedded
systems engineering communities. Researchers and developers in these
areas are addressing many similar problems, but with different
backgrounds and approaches. LCTES is intended to expose researchers
and developers from either area to relevant work and interesting
problems in the other area and provide a forum where they can
interact.

## Important Dates

Submission deadline: Feb. 15
Notifications by: Apr. 1
Camera-ready deadline: Apr. 11

LCTES 2015 will be held on June 18 and 19 as part of the FCRC 2015
(Federated Computing Research Conference 2015) in Portland, Oregon,
USA. This will be the sixteenth conference in the LCTES series.

Embedded system design faces many challenges both with respect to
functional requirements and nonfunctional requirements, many of which
are conflicting. They are found in areas such as design and developer
productivity, verification, validation, maintainability, and meeting
performance goals and resource constraints. Novel design-time and
run-time approaches are needed to meet the demand of emerging
applications and to exploit new hardware paradigms, and in particular
to scale up to multicores (including GPUs and FPGAs) and distributed
systems built from multicores.

LCTES 2015 solicits papers presenting original work on programming
languages, compilers, tools, theory, and architectures that help in
overcoming these challenges. Research papers on innovative techniques
are welcome, as well as experience papers on insights obtained by
experimenting with real-world systems and applications.

Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics in
embedded systems:

- Programming language challenges, including:
- Domain-specific languages
- Features to exploit multicore, reconfigurable, and other emerging
architectures
- Features for distributed, adaptive, and real-time control embedded systems
- Language capabilities for specification, composition, and construction of
embedded systems
- Language features and techniques to enhance reliability, verifiability,
and security
- Virtual machines, concurrency, inter-processor synchronization, and
memory management
- Compiler challenges, including:
- Interaction between embedded architectures, operating systems, and
compiler
- Interpreters, binary translation, just-in-time compilation, and split
compilation
- Support for enhanced programmer productivity
- Support for enhanced debugging, profiling, and exception/interrupt
handling
- Optimization for low power/energy, code and data size, and best-effort
and real-time performance
- Parameterized and structural compiler design space exploration and
auto-tuning
- Tools for analysis, specification, design, and implementation, including:
- Hardware, system software, application software, and their interfaces
- Distributed real-time control, media players, and reconfigurable
architectures
- System integration and testing
- Performance estimation, monitoring, and tuning
- Run-time system support for embedded systems
- Design space exploration tools
- Support for system security and system-level reliability
- Approaches for cross-layer system optimization
- Theory and foundations of embedded systems, including:
- Predictability of resource behaviour: energy, space, time
- Validation and verification, in particular of concurrent and distributed
systems
- Formal foundations of model-based design as basis for code generation,
analysis, and verification
- Mathematical foundations for embedded systems
- Models of computations for embedded applications
- Novel embedded architectures, including:
- Design and implementation of novel architectures
- Workload analysis and performance evaluation
- Architecture support for new language features, virtualization, compiler
techniques, debugging tools
- Empirical studies and their reproduction, and confirmation

## Note to Authors

A few of the best submissions to LCTES 2015 are planned to be invited
for submission, with some revisions, to a special issue of the ACM
Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS).

The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made
available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks
prior to the first day of your conference.

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 **

Submissions are invited in the general area of foundations of
programming languages for concurrency, communication and
distribution. Specific topics include: language design and
implementations for communications and/or concurrency, program
analysis, session types, multicore programming, use of message passing
in systems software, interface languages for communication and
distribution, concurrent data types, concurrent objects and actors,
web services, novel programming methodologies for sensor networks,
integration of sequential and concurrent programming, high-level
programming abstractions for security concerns in concurrent,
distributed programming, and runtime architectures for concurrency,
scalability and/or resource allocations. Papers are welcome which
present novel and valuable ideas as well as experiences.

A fully funded PhD position at VERIMAG (Grenoble, France) is available starting early 2015. 


JOB DESCRIPTION
?????????

The goal of this PhD is to develop new methods and tools for program verification using Separation Logic. This is a logical framework suitable for reasoning about the dynamic structures manipulated by real-life imperative programs written in C, Java, etc. Separation Logic supports local and compositional reasoning via built-in logical connectives, which makes it particularly suited to design scalable verification methods.
The job of the PhD candidate is to investigate algorithmic aspects related to the decidability of various fragments of Separation Logic, and integrate these results into a full-fledged verification system.
The duration of the PhD thesis is 3 years, starting early 2015. The student will be based at VERIMAG, Grenoble and will closely cooperate with the partners of the VECOLIB projet. This project will be supervised by Dr. Radu Iosif from CNRS/University of Grenoble. The salary after tax is in the range of 1200-1500 euros/month. Access to the French public healthcare system (health insurance) is included. The University of Grenoble provides affordable student accomodation and free French classes.

APPLICANT?S PROFILE
---------------------------------
Must have an university degree in Computer Science or Mathematics with focus on logic, automata theory and/or programming languages (semantics). Good knowledge of C, OCAML or Java programming is considered a plus, as well as fluent English.

HOW TO APPLY ?
????????
Send your CV to Radu.Iosif at imag.fr. The CV must contain previously obtained degrees with average grades (on the scale used by the local university) and (when applicable) a list of previous scientific work (publications, software, etc.). If possible, one may attach a list of grades to the email, as well.

To apply, including information on prerequisites:
    http://www.bath.ac.uk/science/graduate-school/research-programmes/phd-computer-science/

Proofs and algorithms are everyday objects in our discipline, but they are still very mysterious. Suffice to say that we are currently unable to decide whether two given proofs or two given algorithms are the same; this is an old problem that dates back to Hilbert. Also, proofs and algorithms are intimately connected in the most famous open problem in mathematics: P vs NP.

We make progress by trying to unveil the fundamental structure behind proofs and algorithms, what we call their semantics. In other words, we are interested in the following questions:

    What is a proof?
    What is an algorithm?
    How can we define them so that they have efficient and natural semantics?

The questions above are interesting in their own right, but we note that answering them will enable technological advances of great impact on the society and the economy. For example, it will be possible to build a worldwide, universal tool for developing, validating, communicating and teaching mathematics. Also, quickly producing provably bug-free and secure software will become possible, so solving one of the most complex and important open engineering problems.

In order to understand proofs and algorithms we create new mathematics starting from proof theory and semantics and utilising, among other tools, category theory and algebraic geometry. These theories are closely related, they benefit from mutual interaction and they are well represented in our team. The methods we use are mostly discrete, algebraic and combinatorial, but there is a growing geometrical component. The recent advances which our methods are mostly based on are linear logic, game semantics and deep inference on the logic side, and regular chains, cylindrical algebraic decomposition and monotone sets on the algebra/geometry side.

Our group is very well financed via several grants. Thanks to our international relations, working with us means having a truly multicultural experience together with all the researchers at the forefront of this worldwide research effort. As a result, all our graduates work and publish at the highest level. The facilities at the University of Bath are outstanding and the city is so beautiful that UNESCO recognises it as a World Heritage Site.

TaPP'15 - 7th USENIX Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance
                            Call for Papers
                      July 8-9, 2015; Edinburgh, UK
          Preliminary website: http://workshops.inf.ed.ac.uk/tapp2015/

Note:
this year TAPP is co-located with The British Database Conference (BICOD,
July 6-8)  http://conferences.inf.ed.ac.uk/BICOD2015/
Renee Miller (U Toronto) will give a joint TAPP/BICOD keynote talk on July
8th.

** Timeline and Important Dates **
Abstracts Due: April 20th, 2015
Submission Deadline: April 27th, 2015
Poster Abstracts Due: May 25th, 2014 (To be aligned with BICOD)
Notification of Acceptance: June 1st, 2015
Camera ready submission due: June 15th, 2015
Workshop: July 8-9th, 2015

** Focus **
Provenance provides needed insight into the origins and derivation of
data, as well as formal documentation that can be instrumental in data
quality assessment, program debugging, and search.
Research topics of relevance to TAPP span the entire metadata lifecycle:
from modelling to capture, storage, usage, querying and mining, to
security and interoperable exchange across systems.
TAPP also invites application-oriented contributions, on provenance-aware
systems and other practical usage of provenance.

** Workshop Format **
In keeping with its successful tradition, TaPP?15 is a workshop, as
opposed to a mini-conference. We aim to provide a platform for presenting
and discussing a range of fresh ideas, and actively encourage
inter-disciplinary work beyond the confines of the data management
community.

** What to Submit **
Contributions are typically 4 and never more than 6 pages long. They
should describe challenges for provenance research, brief descriptions of
new applications, pie-in-the sky research ideas, and anything else that
will help engage the researchers? minds.
While brief and readable descriptions of research are encouraged, recycled
conference submissions are strongly discouraged.
Contributions are collected into online proceedings, hosted by Usenix and
indexed by DBLP, Google Scholar, etc.

We expect the program to include a mixture of presentations and
discussions.
Authors should expect ample opportunity to present their ideas at the
workshop.

*NEW*  In addition to papers, we anticipate inviting posters for a
dedicated poster session, possibly jointly with BICOD.

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 should be submitted online at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tapp15.
As in previous years, accepted TaPP papers will be open access via a
USENIX web site.

================================================================
8th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2015) L?Aquila, Italy
21 ? 23 July, 2015

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

First Call for Papers
---------------------

Dynamic structures are a major cause for complexity when it comes to model and reason about systems.
They occur in software architectures, configurations of artefacts such as code or models, pointer structures, databases, networks, etc. As interrelated elements which may be added, removed, or change state, they form a fundamental modelling paradigm as well as a means to formalise and analyse systems. Applications include architectural reconfigurations, model transformations, refactorings, and evolution of a wide range of artefacts, where change can happen either at design or at run time. Dynamic structures occur also as part of semantic domains or computational model for formal modelling languages.

Based on the observation that all these can be represented as graphs and their changes modeled as graph transformations, theory and applications of graphs, graph grammars and graph transformation systems have been studied in our community for more than 40 years. The conference aims at fostering interaction within this community as well as attracting researchers from other areas to join us, either in contributing to the theory of graph transformation or by applying graph transformations to already known or novel areas, such as self-adaptive systems, overlay structures in cloud or P2P computing, advanced computational models for DNA computing, etc.

The 8th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2015) will be held in L?Aquila, Italy. The conference takes place under the auspices of EATCS (http://www.eatcs.org/), EASST (http://www.easst.org/), and IFIP (http://www.ifip.org/) WG 1.3. 
Proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (http://www.springer.com/lncs) series.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] CFP: EuroSys 2015 Workshop on Principles and
 Practice of Consistency for Distributed Data (PaPoC)
Message-ID: <CALnXJioP6oGFXQpTCOCHWuCD4hx++SEM8JOXVWUF7ciX_Qz+=Q@mail.gmail.com>

Many distributed applications today need low latency, scalability,
high availability, and geo-replication. The well-known tradeoff
between Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance (and low
latency) led to the development of weakly consistent data stores,
whose success made clear that "one size does not fit all" when it
comes to consistency. Designing correct applications using weakly
consistent shared data, however, is a challenging task.

The PaPoC workshop will bring forth ideas on how to use, specify, and
implement consistency semantics ranging from weaker to stronger
models. It will bring together academic researchers, industrial
researchers, and practitioners coming from different fields:
distributed algorithms, distributed systems, databases, programming
languages, and verification. Each of these fields has attacked the
problem of consistency from a different angle and there is ample
opportunity for synergies. PaPoC is the direct successor of the
EuroSys 2014 Workshop on Principles and Practice of Eventual
Consistency, which was attended by approximately 40 researchers from
the above fields.

Submissions should be short papers (2 pages or more) on cutting-edge
work, even if ongoing, or vision papers. Accepted papers will be
published in ACM Digital Library only upon the request of the authors.
Examples of relevant discussion topics include:

- Design principles, correctness conditions, and programming patterns
for scalable distributed data systems.
- Techniques for weak consistency: session guarantees, causal
consistency, operational transformation, conflict-free replicated data
types, monotonic programming, state merge, commutativity, etc.
- Consistency vs. performance and scalability trade-offs: guiding
developers, controlling the system.
- Analysis and verification of weakly consistent programs.
- Strengthening guarantees of weakly consistent systems: transactions,
fault tolerance, security, ensuring invariants, bounding metadata
size, and controlling divergence.
- Platform guarantees vs. application involvement: guiding developers,
controlling the system.

      Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE 2015)
                          Call for papers
             https://wiki.science.ru.nl/tfpie/TFPIE2015

The 4th International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education,
TFPIE 2015, will be held on June 2, 2015 in Sophia-Antipolis in France. It is
co-located with the Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP 2015)
which takes place from June 3 - 5.

*** Goal ***

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 2015 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 2015
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, presenters will be invited to submit (a
revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best
articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles rejected for presentation and extended
abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC. TFPIE workshops have
previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012), Provo Utah, USA (2013), and
Soesterberg, The Netherlands (2014).

Background:
Modern computing no longer takes place on a personal machine.
Businesses and private users alike are increasingly entrusting their
data to Cloud providers that run global networks of datacenters. These
datacenters provide the illusion of infinite resources available on
demand at minimal cost. Furthermore, Cloud providers absorb the risk
of up front investment in an IT infrastructure that is resilient to
data loss, service outage, and fluctuation in demand. Without a global
network of datacenters, few businesses would be able to deliver
services that perform equally well in London, San Francisco and
Singapore.

Businesses in countries like Kazakhstan risk missing out on the
competitive edge given by tapping into this global network of
datacenters. The nearest datacenters to Almaty for major Cloud
providers, such as Amazon, are in Beijing and Frankfurt. This results
in a visible impact on the performance of service and reduced
availability causing loss of customers.

To avoid emerging economies like Kazakhstan lagging behind in the push
toward global computing, several problems need to be addressed, not
limited to the following:
 - How do we address and overcome legal restrictions on where data
from public bodies are held? What are the obstacles to embracing Open
Data?
 - How do we design systems that are resilient to natural disasters
and extreme weather? Can we cost effectively ensure that if a
datacenter is destroyed in an earthquake, then no data will be lost or
become unavailable?
 - How can smaller local Cloud providers join a global network of
Cloud providers, sometimes called the Intercloud? Can Cloud brokers
make accessing computing resources easier for adopters?
 - How do we model services that run on a global network of
datacenters. How do the foundational models and semantics of systems
change to accurately reflect reality?
 - How do we design verification tools for checking that both the
infrastructure inside datacenters and services running across
datacenters are correct? Can we test systems running at small scale,
to see how they would behave at a big scale?
 - How do we deliver services to regions with almost no high bandwidth
channels. Can we optimise remote sessions such that a minimal amount
of information is transmitted over the expensive wide-area network.
 - How do we quantify the economic risk factors that are managed by
different Cloud providers? How do we model different work loads that a
system may be faced with.
 - How can emerging economies, such as Kazakhstan, take the lead in
innovation in global computing, where we see projects through from
foundational results to concrete applications.

We welcome technical papers addressing related topics in computer
science. We welcome: bold foundational non-incremental developments;
inter-disciplinary papers covering economic and environmental issues;
systems papers that describe and evaluate related systems; and, papers

Subject: [TYPES/announce] First CFP: CRV15 - 2nd Competition on Runtime
	Verification
Message-ID: <DA77DE0B-33D1-44C5-8F49-63BB54008AB4@imag.fr>

CRV 2015
The 2nd International Competition on Runtime Verification, 
held with RV 2015, September 22 ? 25, 2015 Vienna, Austria


CRV-2015 is the 2nd International Competition on Runtime Verification and is part of the 15th International Conference on Runtime Verification. The event will be held in September 2015, in Vienna, Austria. CRV-2015 will draw attention to the invaluable effort of software developers and researchers who contribute in this field by providing the community with new or updated tools, libraries and frameworks for the instrumentation and runtime verification of software.

Runtime Verification is a verification technique for the analysis of software at execution-time based on extracting information from a running system and checking if the observed behaviors satisfy or violate the properties of interest. During the last decade, many important tools and techniques have been developed and successfully employed. However, there is a pressing need to compare such tools and techniques, since we currently lack a common benchmark suite as well as scientific evaluation methods to validate and test new prototype runtime verification tools. 

The main aims of CRV-2015 are to:

	? Stimulate the development of new efficient and practical runtime verification tools and the maintenance and improvement 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 on different benchmarks and evaluate them using different criteria.
	? Enhance the visibility of presented tools among the different communities (verification, software engineering, cloud computing and security) involved in software monitoring.

Please direct any enquiries to the competition co-organizers (crv15.chairs at imag.fr <mailto:crv15.chairs at imag.fr>)

	? Yli?s Falcone (Universit? Joseph Fourier, France).
	? Dejan Nickovic (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Austria).
	? Giles Reger (University of Manchester, UK).
	? Daniel Thoma (University of Luebeck, Germany).

CRV-2015 Jury

The CSRV Jury will include a representative for each participating team and the competition chairs. The Jury will be consulted at each stage of the competition to ensure that the rules set by the competition chairs are fair and reasonable.

Call for Participation

The main goal of CRV 2015 is to compare tools for runtime verification. We invite and encourage the participation with benchmarks and tools for the competition.The competition will consist of three main tracks based on the input language used:

	? Track on monitoring Java programs (online monitoring).
	? Track on monitoring C programs (online monitoring).
	? Track on monitoring of traces (offline monitoring).

The competition will follow three phases:

	? Benchmarks/Specification collection phase - the participants are invited to submit their benchmarks (C or Java programs and/or traces). The organizers will collect them in a common repository (publicly available). The participants will then train their tools using the shared benchmarks.
	? Monitor collection phase - the participants are invited to submit their monitors. The participants with the tools/monitors that meet the qualification requirements will be qualified for the evaluation phase.
	? Evaluation phase - the qualified tools will be evaluated on the submitted benchmarks and they will be ranked using different criteria (i.e., memory utilization, CPU utilization, ...). The final results will be presented at the RV 2015 conference.

The detailed description of each phase will be available on the RV 2015 website at http://rv2015.conf.tuwien.ac.at <http://rv2015.conf.tuwien.ac.at/>.

Message-ID: <778E5A06-DC29-49B1-B33D-2989779A489B@math.su.se>



           FIFTH WORKSHOP ON FORMAL TOPOLOGY: 
              Spreads and Choice Sequences
                    June 8-10, 2015

                Institut Mittag-Leffler
                  Djursholm, Stockholm 

  
The study of the logical foundations of topology is playing an important role in mathematical logic and foundations of especially constructive mathematics. Early works by Brouwer on the theory of spreads and choice sequences were influencing much work in the area. A modernized form of his ideas is embodied in constructive point??free topology or formal topology. The workshop will gather experts in this field and related areas, including computable aspects and non-classical aspects of topology. A subtheme will be modern developments in the theory of spreads and choice sequences, as well as its history. 

This is the fifth of a series of successful meetings on the
development of Formal Topology and its connections with related
approaches. The first four have been held in Padua (1997), Venice
(2002), Padua (2007) and Ljubljana (2012)

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


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 22nd 
International Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2015, will be held in
Saint-Malo, France. Previous symposia were held in Munich, 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 2015 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
     * Compilation          	* Program transformation
     * Program verification     * Security 
     * Theoretical frameworks   * Type checking
     * New applications		


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

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including
concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic,
object-oriented, aspect, multi-core, distributed, GPU and script 
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. Submissions are handled
online. For further details please visit the above web page.


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

As in previous years, 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. We accept only virtual machine images
that can be processed with Virtual Box. Details on what to submit and
how will be sent to the corresponding authors by mail shortly after
the paper submission deadline.

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 6, 2015,
    and complete papers by March 13, 2015.  These deadlines are
    strict; submissions where abstract or paper are received later
    will not be evaluated.

  * Artifacts must be submitted by March 27, 2015.

  * Rebuttal: May 14-17, 2015.

  * Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2015

  * Final version due: June 22, 2015

  * Early registration: On or before July 21, 2015

  * Workshop day: September 8, 2015

  * Conference: September 9-11, 2015

               16th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
                                June 3-5, 2015
                        Inria Sophia Antipolis, France

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). Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised
papers based on the feedback receive at the symposium.  A
post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these
articles for formal publication.

The selected revised papers are expected to be published as a Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume.

TFP 2015 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming
events. TFP 2015 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on
Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take
place on June 2nd.

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;
   * Munich (Germany) in 2004;
   * Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005;
   * Nottingham (UK) in 2006;
   * New York (USA) in 2007;
   * Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008;
   * Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009;
   * Oklahoma (USA) in 2010;
   * Madrid (Spain) in 2011;
   * St. Andrews (UK) in 2012;
   * Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013;
   * and in Soesterberg (The Netherlands) in 2014.
For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage.
(http://www.tifp.org/).


== INVITED SPEAKERS ==

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

   * Laurence Rideau is a researcher at INRIA and is interested in the
     semantics of programming languages , the formal methods, and the
     verification tools for programs and mathematical proofs.  She
     participated in the beginnings of the Compcert project (certified
     compiler), and is part of the Component Mathematical team in the
     MSR-INRIA joint laboratory, who performed the formalization of the
     Feit-Thompson theorem successfully.

     Thirty years ago, computers barged in mathematics with the famous
     proof of the Four Color Theorem.  Initially limited to simple
     calculation, their role is now expanding to the reasoning whose
     complexity is beyond the capabilities of most humans, as the proof of
     the classification of finite simple groups.  We present our large
     collaborative adventure around the formalization of the Feit-Thompson
     theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feit%E2%80%93Thompson_theorem)
     that is a first step to the classification of finite groups
     and that uses a palette of methods and techniques that range from
     formal logic to software (and mathematics) engineering.

   * Sam Aaron (?)


== 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 simultaneously submitted for
publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of
functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or
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
     Debugging and profiling 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 2015 program chair, Manuel Serrano.


== 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 ??????????????????


== 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 (20 pages). The submission must clearly
indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project,
evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors
are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students.  A
draft paper for which ALL authors are students will receive additional
feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has
taken place.

We use EasyChair for the refereeing process. Papers must be submitted at:

   https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2015

Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS
style. For more information about formatting please consult the

Message-ID: <6AE985D860873240AC24949EBE70B26B04DB6525@hoshi.uni.lux>

The International Workshop on Security Aspects of Cyber-Physical Systems (SACPS'15)

http://satoss.uni.lu/sacps2015

in conjunction with ANT-2015 conference
June 2 - 5, 2015 London, UK

SCOPE

Security of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is challenging due to the inherent complexity of CPS. Moreover, it is not sufficient to ascertain the security of the individual components in isolation: threats in CPS systems could also be due to the interaction between the physical, digital and software parts of CPS. Therefore, the system must be studied as a whole, which sets this emerging discipline apart from these individually established fields. This workshop provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing security challenges facing CPS.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):


?         Modeling CPS (formal models, UML, SysML, ADAAL, etc)

?         Design secure CPS

?         Risks analysis of CPS

?         Formal methods for CPS (abstraction, compositional verification, model checking, theorem proving, simulation, testing, etc)

?         Threat modeling for CPS

?         Security policies and access control for CPS

?         Safety and reliability analysis for CPS

?         Security requirements specification for CPS

?         Human aspects for CPS

?         Case studies, tools, and experimental results for CPS

SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS

All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the ANT-2015 proceedings, which will be published by Elsevier.

                     4th Confluence Competition

                  2 August, 2015, Berlin, Germany
               http://coco.nue.riec.tohoku.ac.jp/2015/
======================================================================

Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and has been
conceived as one of the central properties of rewriting. Confluence
had been investigated in many formalisms of rewriting such as
first-order rewriting, lambda-calculi, higher-order rewriting,
constrained rewriting, conditional rewriting, etc.  Recently, several
new implementations of confluence tools are reported and interest for
proving/disproving confluence "automatically" has been grown. The
confluence competition aims to foster the development of techniques
for proving/disproving confluence automatically by a dedicated
competition among such tools.

The 4th Confluence Competition (CoCo 2015) will run ***live*** during
the 4th International Workshop on Confluence (IWC 2015), collocated
with CADE-25 in Berlin, Germany.

The following categories will be run:
 * TRS:  confluence of first-order term rewrite systems
 * CTRS: confluence of conditional term rewrite systems
 * CPF:  certification
 * HRS:  confluence of higher-order term rewrite systems  (new!)
Besides these categories, new competition and demonstration categories
will be considered if there are tools and problems dedicated to those
categories. Demonstration categories are for demonstrating new
attempts and/or merits of particular tools.  Submissions of new
confluence problems are also welcome. For more information including
examples of new categories to be considered, platforms, competition
rules and problems, see the webpage of CoCo 2015 indicated above.

IMPORTANT DATES:
 * request for competition categories    January 31, 2015
 * request for demonstration categories  May 31, 2015
 * tool registration                     July 19, 2015

	Competition on Runtime	Verification

CRV 2015
The 2nd International Competition on Runtime Verification, 
held with RV 2015, September 22 ? 25, 2015 Vienna, Austria


CRV-2015 is the 2nd International Competition on Runtime Verification and is part of the 15th International 
Conference on Runtime Verification. The event will be held in September 2015, in Vienna, Austria. CRV-2015 will 
draw attention to the invaluable effort of software developers and researchers who contribute in this field by 
providing the community with new or updated tools, libraries and frameworks for the instrumentation and runtime
verification of software.

Runtime Verification is a verification technique for the analysis of software at execution-time based on extracting
information from a running system and checking if the observed behaviors satisfy or violate the properties of interest.
During the last decade, many important tools and techniques have been developed and successfully employed. However, 
there is a pressing need to compare such tools and techniques, since we currently lack a common benchmark suite as well
as scientific evaluation methods to validate and test new prototype runtime verification tools. 

The main aims of CRV-2015 are to:

	? Stimulate the development of new efficient and practical runtime verification tools and the maintenance 
          and improvement 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 on different benchmarks and evaluate them using different criteria.
	? Enhance the visibility of presented tools among the different communities (verification, software 
          engineering, cloud computing and security) involved in software monitoring.

Please direct any enquiries to the competition co-organizers (crv15.chairs at imag.fr)

	? Yli?s Falcone (Universit? Joseph Fourier, France).
	? Dejan Nickovic (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Austria).
	? Giles Reger (University of Manchester, UK).
	? Daniel Thoma (University of Luebeck, Germany).

CRV-2015 Jury

The CSRV Jury will include a representative for each participating team and the competition chairs. The Jury will be consulted at each stage of the competition to ensure that the rules set by the competition chairs are fair and reasonable.

Call for Participation

The main goal of CRV 2015 is to compare tools for runtime verification. We invite and encourage the participation with benchmarks and tools for the competition.The competition will consist of three main tracks based on the input language used:

	? Track on monitoring Java programs (online monitoring).
	? Track on monitoring C programs (online monitoring).
	? Track on monitoring of traces (offline monitoring).

The competition will follow three phases:

	? Benchmarks/Specification collection phase - the participants are invited to submit their benchmarks 
          (C or Java programs and/or traces). The organizers will collect them in a common repository 
          (publicly available). The participants will then train their tools using the shared benchmarks.
	? Monitor collection phase - the participants are invited to submit their monitors. The participants with 
          the tools/monitors that meet the qualification requirements will be qualified for the evaluation phase.
	? Evaluation phase - the qualified tools will be evaluated on the submitted benchmarks and they will be 
          ranked using different criteria (i.e., memory utilization, CPU utilization, ...). The final results 
          will be presented at the RV 2015 conference.

The detailed description of each phase will be available on the RV 2015 website at http://rv2015.conf.tuwien.ac.at.

CALL FOR PAPERS

FM 2015 is the twentieth in a series of symposia organized by Formal 
 Methods Europe, an independent association whose aim is to stimulate 
 the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. 
 The symposia have been notably successful in bringing together innovators 
 and practitioners in precise mathematical methods for software and systems 
 development, industrial users, as well as researchers. The FM symposia 
 welcome original papers on research and industrial experience, 
 proposals for workshops and tutorials, entries for the exhibition of 
 software tools and projects, and reports on ongoing doctoral work. 

SCOPE AND TOPICS 

FM 2015 will have the goal of highlighting the development and application 
 of formal methods. This includes uses of formal methods in a variety 
 of disciplines such as medicine, biology, human cognitive modeling, 
 human automation interactions and aeronautics, among others. FM 2015 
 particularly welcomes papers on techniques, tools and experiences 
 in interdisciplinary frameworks, as well as on experience with practical 
 applications of formal methods in industrial and research settings, 
 empirical and experimental validation of tools and methods as well as 
 construction and evolution of formal methods tools. The broad topics 
 of interest for FM 2015 include but are not limited to: 

Interdisciplinary formal methods: techniques, tools and 
 experiences demonstrating formal methods in interdisciplinary 
 frameworks. 

Formal methods in practice: industrial applications of formal
 methods, experience with introducing formal methods in industry,
 tool usage reports, experiments with challenge problems. 
 Authors are encouraged to explain how the use of formal methods has
 overcome problems, lead to improvements in design or provided 
 new insights.

Tools for formal methods: advances in automated verification and
 model-checking, integration of tools, environments for formal
 methods, experimental validation of tools. Authors are encouraged
 to demonstrate empirically that the new tool or environment
 advances the state of the art.

Role of formal methods in software and systems engineering:
 development processes with formal methods, usage guidelines for
 formal methods, method integration. Authors are encouraged 
 to evaluate process innovations with respect to qualitative or 
 quantitative improvements. Empirical studies and evaluations 
 are also solicited.

Theoretical foundations: all aspects of theory related to
 specification, verification, refinement, and static and dynamic
 analysis. Authors are encouraged to explain how their results
 contribute to the solution of practical problems with methods or
 tools.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the Programme
 Committee. They should be in Springer LNCS format and describe, in
 English, original work that has not been published or submitted
 elsewhere.

Authors of papers reporting experimental work are strongly encouraged 
 to make their experimental results available for use by reviewers. 
 Similarly, case study papers should describe significant case studies 
 and the complete development should be made available at the time of 
 review. In other words, the usual criteria for novelty, reproducibility, 
 correctness and the ability for others to build upon the described work
 apply.

Tool papers should explain enhancements made compared to previously 
 published work. A tool paper need not present the theory behind the 
 tool but can focus more on its features, and how it is used, evaluation,
 with screen shots and examples. Authors of tool papers should make 
 their tool available for use by reviewers. 


Papers should be submitted through the FM 2015 EasyChair web site: 

  http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fm2015. 
 
We solicit two categories of papers: 

Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format, 
 not counting references.

Short papers, including tool papers, should not exceed 6 pages, 
 not counting references. Besides tool papers, short papers 
 are encouraged for any subject that can be described within 
 the page limit, and in particular for novel ideas without an 
 extensive experimental evaluation. Short papers will be accompanied 
 by short presentations.

For regular and tool papers, an appendix can provide additional 
 material such as details on proofs or experiments. The appendix 
 is not guaranteed to be read or taken into account by the reviewers 
 and it should not contain information necessary to the understanding 
 and the evaluation of the presented work. Papers will be accepted 
 or rejected in the category in which they were submitted, there 
 will be no "demotions" from a regular to a short paper.


BEST PAPER AWARD
 
FM 2015 will as a new feature have a best paper award.
