We welcome papers on type systems and reasoning techniques at the
intersection of programming languages and systems. The theme of MASS'16
is "modularity meets systems." Deadline on Jan 29, 2016. We accept both
regular papers, and short papers in 2 pages.
Best Regards,
David Liu

The 2016 International Workshop on Modularity Across the System Stack
(MASS'16)
affiliated with Modularity'16 (Malaga, Spain)
The landscape of computation platforms has changed dramatically in
recent years. Emerging systems --- such as wearable devices,
smartphones, unmanned aerial vehicles, Internet of things, cloud
computing servers, heterogeneous clusters, and data centers --- pose a
distinct set of system-oriented challenges ranging from data throughput,
energy efficiency, security, real-time guarantees, to high performance.
In the meantime, modularity remains a cornerstone in modern software
engineering, bringing in crucial benefits such as modular reasoning,
improved program understanding, and collaborative software development.
Current methodologies and software development technologies should be
revised in order to produce software to meet system-oriented goals. The
role of the Software Engineer is essential, having to be aware of the
implications that each design, architecture and implementation decision
has on the application-system ecosystem.
This workshop is driven by one fundamental question: How does modularity
interact with system-oriented goals? We welcome both positive and
negative responses to this question. An example of the former would be
modular reasoning systems specifically designed to promote
system-oriented goals, whereas an example of the latter would be
anti-patterns against system-oriented goals during modular software
development. More concretely, areas of interest include but are not
limited to:
- Energy-aware software engineering (e.g. energy efficiency models,
energy efficiency as a quality attribute, energy-aware self-adaptation)
- Modularity support for energy-conscious and resource-constrained
applications
- Modularity support (e.g., programming language design and
verification) for Big Data applications
- Modularity support for high-performance, distributed, and
heterogeneous applications
- Software architecture for reusability and adaptability in systems and
their interactions with applications
- Modular security support (e.g., compositional information flow,
compositional program analysis)
- Modular real-time systems
- Modular design interfacing applications and operating systems
- Modular design interfacing software and hardware
- Modularity support on emerging platforms (e.g., Internet of Things and
wearable devices)
- Empirical studies (patterns and anti-patterns) on the relationship
between modularity and system-oriented goals
- Software engineering techniques to balance the trade-off between
modularity and efficiency
- Memory bloats and long-tail performance problems across modular
boundaries
- Program optimization across modular boundaries
- Modularity in systems software
- Reasoning across applications, compilers, and virtual machines
In a nutshell, we welcome all work sharing the spirit of Modularity
Meets Systems. Submission details can be found at
