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

The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC), sponsored by Microsoft 
Research, offers a unique forum for ACM student members at the 
undergraduate and graduate levels to present their original research 
before a panel of judges and conference attendees. The SRC gives 
visibility to up-and-coming young researchers, and offers them an 
opportunity to discuss their research with experts in their field, get 
feedback, and to help sharpen communication and networking skills.

ACM?s SRC program covers expenses up to $500 for all students invited to 
an SRC. Please see our website for requirements and further details.

  LASSY 2017 - 2nd Workshop on Live Adaptation of Software SYstems

    Submissions: Fri 3 Feb 2017
    Notifications: Fri 3 Mar 2017

    http://2017.programming-conference.org/track/LASSY-2017-papers
******************************************************************

When developing current-day software systems, their deployment and usage 
environments should be considered carefully, in order to understand the 
adaptations those systems might need to undergo to interact with other 
systems and with their environment. Moreover, due to the portability, 
mobility and increasingly evolutionary nature of software systems, such 
adaptations should be enacted even while the system is running. 
Developing such software systems can prove challenging, and many 
seemingly different techniques to address this concern have been 
proposed over the last couple of years.

The intention of the LASSY workshop is to congregate all topics relevant 
to dynamic adaptation and run-time evolution of software systems, 
ranging from a computer science perspective covering the domains of 
programming languages, model-driven software development, software and 
service composition, context-aware databases, software variability, 
requirements engineering, UI adaptation and other domains, to a human 
perspective covering sociological or ethical implications of dynamic 
software systems. The workshop provides a space for discussion and 
collaboration between researchers working on the problem of enabling

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

Extending the time-honored practice of separation of concerns, 
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) promotes the use of separate models to 
address the various concerns in the development of complex 
software-intensive systems. The main objective is to choose the right 
level of abstraction to modularize a concern, specify its properties and 
reason about the system under development depending on stakeholder and 
development needs. While some of these models can be defined with a 
single modelling language, a variety of heterogeneous models and 
languages are typically used in the various phases of software 
development. Furthermore, Domain-Specific Modelling Languages designed 
to address particular concerns are also increasingly used.

Despite the power of abstraction of modelling, models of real-world 
problems and systems quickly grow to such an extent that managing the 
complexity by using proper modularization techniques becomes necessary. 
As a result, many (standard) modelling notations have been extended with 
aspect-oriented mechanisms and advanced composition operators to support 
advanced separation of concerns, to combine (possibly heterogeneous) 
models modularizing different concerns, to execute an application based 
on modularized models, and to reason over global properties of 
modularized models.

The Second International Modularity in Modelling Workshop brings 
together researchers and practitioners interested in the theoretical and 
practical challenges resulting from applying modularity, advanced 
separation of concerns, and advanced composition at the modelling level. 
It is intended to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and 
discussing the impact of the use of modularization in the context of MDE 
at different levels of abstraction.

We are interested in submissions on all topics related to modularity and 
modelling including but not limited to:

     * Modularization Support in Modelling Languages and Tools
         * Model Interfaces
         * Homogeneous Model Composition Operators
         * Heterogeneous Model Composition Operators
         * Visualization of Modularized and Composed Models
     * Effects of Using Modularization and Composition in Modelling

         * On Reuse
         * On the Model-Driven Software Development Process 
(Requirements Engineering, Software Architecture, Software Design, 
Implementation)
         * On Maintenance
         * Experience Reports / Empirical Evaluations of Applying 
Modularization and Composition in Modelling
     * Feature-Oriented, Aspect-Oriented and Concern-Oriented Modelling

http://2017.programming-conference.org/track/PASS-2017#Call-for-Papers
**************************************************************************

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, code quality, such as modularity or extensibility, remains a 
cornerstone in modern software engineering, bringing in crucial benefits 
such as modular reasoning, 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, while preserving high internal code quality. 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 internal 
code quality 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 software development.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

     * Energy-aware software engineering (e.g. energy efficiency models, 
energy efficiency as a quality attribute)
     * Modularity support (e.g., programming language design, 
development tools or verification) for applications in 
resource-constrained or real-time systems
     * Emerging platforms (e.g., Internet of Things and wearable devices)
     * Security support (e.g., compositional information flow, 
compositional program analysis)
     * Software architecture for reusability and adaptability in systems 
and their interactions with applications
     * Empirical studies (patterns and anti-patterns) on the 
relationship between internal code quality and system-oriented goals
     * Software engineering techniques to balance the trade-off between 
internal code quality and efficiency
     * Memory bloats and long-tail performance problems across modular 
boundaries
     * Program optimization across modular boundaries
     * Internal code quality in systems software
     * Reasoning across applications, compilers, and virtual machines

  PX 2017 - 2nd Programming Experience Workshop

    Submissions: Sat 4 Feb 2017
    Notifications: Mon 27 Feb 2017

    http://programming-experience.org/px17
****************************************************************

Imagine a software development task: some sort of requirements and 
specification including performance goals and perhaps a platform and 
programming language. A group of developers head into a vast workroom. 
In that room they discover they need to explore the domain and the 
nature of potential solutions?they need exploratory programming.

The Programming Experience Workshop is about what happens in that room 
when one or a couple of programmers sit down in front of computers and 
produce code, especially when it?s exploratory programming. Do they 
create text that is transformed into running behavior (the old way), or 
do they operate on behavior directly (?liveness?); are they exploring 
the live domain to understand the true nature of the requirements; are 
they like authors creating new worlds; does visualization matter; is the 
experience immediate, immersive, vivid and continuous; do fluency, 
literacy, and learning matter; do they build tools, meta-tools; are they 
creating languages to express new concepts quickly and easily; and 
curiously, is joy relevant to the experience?

Correctness, performance, standard tools, foundations, and 
text-as-program are important traditional research areas, but the 
experience of programming and how to improve and evolve it are the focus 
of this workshop, and in this edition we would like to focus on 
exploratory programming.

The technical topics include:

     * Exploratory programming
     * Live programming
     * Authoring
     * Representation of active content
     * Visualization
     * Navigation
     * Modularity mechanisms
     * Immediacy
     * Literacy
     * Fluency
     * Learning
     * Tool building
     * Language engineering

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

Full-fledged web applications have become ubiquitous on desktop and 
mobile devices alike. Whereas ?responsive? web applications already 
offered a more desktop-like experience, there is an increasing demand 
for ?rich? web applications (RIAs) that offer collaborative and even 
off-line functionality ?Google docs being the prototypical example. Long 
gone are the days that web servers merely had to answer incoming HTTP 
request with a block of static HTML. Today?s servers react to a 
continuous stream of events coming from JavaScript applications that 
have been pushed to clients. As a result, application logic and data is 
increasingly distributed. Traditional dichotomies such as ?client vs. 
server? and ?offline vs. online? are fading.

The 1st International Workshop on Programming Technology for the Future 
Web, or ProWeb17, is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share 
and discuss new technology for programming these and future evolutions 
of the web. We welcome submissions introducing programming technology 
(i.e., frameworks, libraries, programming languages, program analyses 
and development tools) for implementing web applications and for 
maintaining their quality over time, as well as experience reports about 
the use of state-of-the-art programming technology.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

     * Quality on the new web: static and dynamic program analyses; 
code, design test and process metrics; development and migration tools; 
automated testing and test generation; contract systems, type systems, 
and web service API conformance checking; ?
     * Hosting languages on the web: new runtimes; transpilation or 
compilation to JavaScript, WebAssembly, asm.js, ?
     * Designing languages for the web: multi-tier (or tierless) 
programming; reactive programming; frameworks for multi-tier or reactive 
programming on the web; ?
     * Distributed data sharing, replication and consistency: cloud 
types, CRDTs, eventual consistency, offline storage, peer-to-peer 
communication, ?
     * Security on the web: client-side and server-side security 
policies; policy enforcement; proxies and membranes; vulnerability 
detection; dynamic patching, ?
     * Surveys and case studies using state-of-the-art web technology 
(e.g., WebAssembly, WebSocket, LocalStorage, AppCache, ServiceWorkers, 
Meteor, deepstream.io, Angular.js, React and React Native, Swarm.js, 
Caja, TypeScript, Proxies, ClojureScript, Amber Smalltalk, Scala.js, ?)
     * Ideas on and experience reports about: how to reconcile the need 
for quality with the need for agility on the web; how to master and 
combine the myriad of tier-specific technologies required to develop a 
web application, ?
     * Position statements on what the future of the web will look like

  Salon des Refus?s 2017

    Submissions: Wed 1 Feb 2017
    Notifications: Fri 17 Feb 2017

    https://refuses.github.io
****************************************************************

Salon des Refus?s (?exhibition of rejects?) was an 1863 exhibition of 
artworks rejected from the official Paris Salon. The jury of Paris Salon 
required near-photographic realism and classified works according to a 
strict genre hierarchy. Paintings by many, later famous, modernists such 
as ?douard Manet were rejected and appeared in what became known as the 
Salon des Refus?s. This workshop aims to be the programming language 
research equivalent of Salon des Refus?s. We provide a venue for 
exploring new ideas and new ways of doing computer science.

Many interesting ideas about programming might struggle to find space in 
the modern programming language research community, often because they 
are difficult to evaluate using established evaluation methods (be it 
proofs, measurements or controlled user studies). As a result, new ideas 
are often seen as ?unscientific?.

This workshop provides a venue where such interesting and 
thought-provoking ideas can be exposed to critical evaluation. 
Submissions that provoke interesting discussion among the program 
committee members will be published together with an attributed review 
that presents an alternative position, develops additional context or 
summarizes discussion from the workshop. This means of engaging with 
papers not just enables explorations of novel programming ideas, but 
also encourages new ways of doing computer science.
Topics of interest

The scope of the workshop is determined more by the format of 
submissions than by the specific area of programming language or 
computer science research that we are interested in. We welcome 
submissions in a format that makes it possible to think about 
programming in a new way, including, but not limited to:

     * Thought experiments ? we believe that thought experiments, 
analogies and illustrative metaphors can provide novel insights and 
inspire fruitful programming language ideas.
     * Experimentation ? we find prejudices in favour of theory, as far 
back as there is institutionalized science, but programming can often be 
seen more as experimentation than as theorizing. We welcome interesting 
experiments even if there is yet no overarching theory that explains why 
they happened.
     * Paradigms ? all scientific work is rooted in a scientific 
paradigm that frame what questions can be asked. We encourage 
submissions that reflect on existing paradigms or explore alternative 
scientific paradigms.
     * Metaphors, myths and analogies ? any description of formal, 
mathematical, quantitative or even poetical nature still represents just 
an analogy. We believe that fruitful ideas can be learned from less 
common forms of analogies as well as from the predominant, formal and 
mathematical ones.
     * From jokes to science fiction ? a story or an artistic 
performance may explore ideas and spark conversations that provide 
crucial inspiration for development of new computer science thinking.

------------ Call for Papers ------------

PaPoC 2017 - Workshop on Principles and Practice of Consistency for Distributed Data
April 23, 2017.

http://software.imdea.org/Conferences/PAPOC17/cfp.shtml

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

Consistency is one of the fundamental issues of distributed computing. There are many competing consistency models, with subtly different power in principle. In practice, the well-known the Consistency-Availability-Partition Tolerance trade-off translates to difficult choices between fault tolerance, performance, and programmability. The issues and trade-offs are particularly vexing at scale, with a large number of processes or a large shared database, and in the presence of high latency and failure-prone networks. It is clear that there is no one universally best solution.

Possible approaches cover the whole spectrum between strong and eventual consistency. Strong consistency (total ordering via, for example, linearizability or serializability) provides familiar and intuitive semantics but requires slow and fragile synchronization and coordination overheads. The unlimited parallelism allowed by weaker models such as eventual consistency promises high performance, but divergence and conflicts make it difficult to ensure useful application invariants, and meta-data is hard to keep in check.

The research and development communities are actively exploring intermediate models (replicated data types, monotonic programming, CRDTs, LVars, causal consistency, red-blue consistency, invariant- and proof-based systems, etc.), designed to improve efficiency, programmability, and overall operation without negatively impacting scalability.

This workshop aims to investigate the principles and practice of consistency models for large-scale, fault-tolerant, distributed shared data systems. It will bring together theoreticians and practitioners from different horizons: system development, distributed algorithms, concurrency, fault tolerance, databases, language and verification, including both academia and industry.

*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 system: transactions, fault tolerance, security, ensuring invariants, bounding metadata size, and controlling divergence.
- Platform guarantees vs. application involvement: guiding developers, controlling the system.
- Techniques for scaling and improving the performance of strongly consistent systems (e.g., Paxos-based or state machine replication).

*Submission Guidelines*

We solicit proposals for contributed talks. We recommend preparing proposals of 2 pages, written in English and in either plain text or PDF format. However, we will accept longer proposals or submissions to other conferences, under the understanding that PC members are only expected to read the first two pages of such longer submissions. Authors will have the opportunity to choose if they want their papers published in ACM Digital Library (with papers from other EuroSys workshops).

*Important Dates*

- Paper submission: February 17, 2017 (any place on Earth)
- Authors notification: March 3, 2017

Subject: [TYPES/announce] First School on Foundations of Programming and
 Software systems -- Probabilistic programming
Message-ID: <20170110132541.GA33437@p187.glmf.di.uminho.pt>

It is our greatest pleasure to announce the first edition of the
School on Foundations of Programming and Software systems. The school
is jointly funded by EATCS, ETAPS, ACM SIGLOG, and ACM SIGPLAN. The
topic of the first edition is Probabilistic programming. It will take
place in Braga, Portugal, May 29th - June 4th 2017.

Probabilistic programming languages are used for modelling and
analysis purposes across multiple areas of computer science, including
machine learning, security, and quantitative biology. In particular,
they provide a rigorous foundation for machine learning where they are
used to describe probabilistic models and to perform inference in
presence of uncertain information. Probabilistic programs are also
used in cryptography and in privacy for modelling and quantifying
security. The goal of the school is to introduce attendants to
theoretical and practical aspects of programming languages, and will
propose courses that cover the following topics: semantics, analysis,
verification, applications to machine learning, privacy, and
security. The school will have lectures by Andy Gordon, Catuscia
Palamidessi, Christel Baier, Dexter Kozen, Frank Wood, Hongseok Yang,
Javier Esparza, Michael Carbin, Peter Selinger, Prakash Panangaden,
Sriram Sankaranarayanan, and Vitaly Shmatikov.

SPIN 2017

24th International Symposium on Model Checking of Software

Santa Barbara, CA, USA, July 13-14, 2017

http://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2017<http://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2017/>

Collocated with ISSTA

________________________________

The SPIN symposium aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in automated tool-based techniques for the analysis of software as well as models of software, for the purpose of verification and validation. The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software, but does not exclude analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, empirical evaluation, and education.

History: The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit state model checking, specifically as related to the Spin model checker. However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly scoped symposium for software analysis using any automated techniques, including model checking, automated theorem proving, and symbolic execution.

An overview of the previous SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be found at: http://spinroot.com/spin/symposia.

SPIN 2017 will be organized as an ACM SIGSOFT event, collocated with the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA 2017): http://conf.researchr.org/home/issta-2017.


The RERS Verification Challenge

In addition there will be a one-day Rigorous Examination of Reactive Systems verification challenge Workshop (RERS 2017): http://www.rers-challenge.org/2017.


________________________________

/************************************************************************************/
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:
Workshops

/************************************************************************************/

## SPLASH Workshops

Following its long-standing tradition, SPLASH 2017 will host a variety of high-quality workshops, 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.

##  Call for Submissions:

We encourage proposals for workshops on any topic relevant to SPLASH. If there is a topic relevant to SPLASH that you feel passionate about, and you want to connect with others who have similar interests, you should consider submitting a proposal to organize a workshop! The exact format of the workshop can be defined by the proposal submitters, and we more than welcome new, and unconventional ideas for workshop formats. The following suggestions may serve as a starting point:

- Mini-conferences provide their participants the possibility to present their work to other domain experts. The smaller and more specialized setting of the workshop allows for more extensive Q&A sessions and facilitates ample discussions,which may continue after the workshop. Typically, presentations of work-in-progress as well as of completed projects are welcome. The workshop may or may not produce formal proceedings.

- Retreats act as a platform for domain experts to gather with the purpose of tackling the issues of a predetermined research agenda. Retreats are highly interactive and goal-oriented, allowing their participants to address open challenges in their domain, to explore new, uncharted ideas, and to (maybe even) uncover new, promising research domains.

- Agenda-setting workshops provide a forum for domain experts to determine a research agenda for a sub-field, and may include collaborations on an agenda document that is published after the workshop is over.

Other common activities at workshops include poster sessions, hands-on practical work, and focus groups.

Proposal submitters should feel free to direct questions about workshop formats to the workshop chairs. Workshops that include presentation of research papers, and that implement a SIGPLAN-approved selection process, may be archived as formal proceedings in the ACM Digital Library; note that this option is available only to submitters to the early phase.

## Workshop Submission Phase:

This year, SPLASH provides two options to submit proposals, either Early Phase or Late Phase (but not both):

Early Phase Submissions due: 20 January 2017
Late Phase Submissions due: 3 March 2017

Subject: [TYPES/announce] RV'17 - First call for papers and tutorials
Message-ID: <CABdH3mCKK8SwtngKoYg+bS0KN1ezG3AKrx3OyH5N9=H-x9HzNA@mail.gmail.com>

*RV 2017*

*Call for Papers and Tutorials*

          The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification

          September 13-16, Seattle, WA, USA

http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk

Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the
runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification
techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness;
they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to
conventional testing, and are generally 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, but are not limited to:

   - specification languages
   - monitor construction techniques
   - program instrumentation
   - logging, recording, and replay
   - combination of static and dynamic analysis
   - specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces
   - monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems
   - runtime checking of privacy and security policies
   - statistical model checking
   - metrics and statistical information gathering
   - program/system execution visualization
   - fault localization, containment, recovery and repair
   - integrated vehicle health management (IVHM)

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

We welcome contributions exploring the combination of runtime verification
techniques with machine learning and static analysis. Whilst these are
highlight topics, papers falling into these categories will not be treated
differently from other contributions.

An overview of previous RV conferences and earlier workshops can be found
at: http://www.runtime-verification.org.

RV 2017 will be held September 13-16 in Seattle, WA, USA. RV 2017 will
feature a tutorial day (September 13), and three conference days (September
14-16).
Important Dates

*Papers* as well as *tutorial proposals* will follow the following timeline:

   - Abstract deadline: April 24, 2017 (Anywhere on Earth)
   - Paper and tutorial deadline: May 1, 2017 (Anywhere on Earth)
   - Tutorial notification: May 21, 2017
   - Paper notification: June 26, 2017
   - Conference: September 13-16, 2017

General Information on Submissions

All papers and tutorials will appear in the conference proceedings in an
LNCS volume. Submitted papers and tutorials must use the LNCS/Springer
style detailed here:

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Papers must be original work and not be submitted for publication
elsewhere. Papers must be written in English and submitted electronically
(in PDF format) using the EasyChair submission page here:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv17

The page limitations mentioned below include all text and figures, but
exclude references. Additional details omitted due to space limitations may
be included in a clearly marked appendix, that will be reviewed at the
discretion of reviewers, but not included in the proceedings.

At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must attend RV 2017
to present.
Paper Submissions

There are three categories of papers which can be submitted: regular, short
or tool papers. Papers in each category will be reviewed by at least 3
members of the Program Committee.

   - *Regular Papers* (up to 15 pages, not including references) should
   present original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers, system
   papers, papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and case studies
   on runtime verification.
   - *Short Papers* (up to 6 pages, not including references) 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.
   - *Tool Demonstration Papers* (up to 8 pages, not including references)
   should present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to
   existing tools supporting runtime verification. 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.

The Program Committee of RV 2017 will give a best paper award, and 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
<http://link.springer.com/journal/10703>.
Tutorial Submissions

Tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected topic.
Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a paper of up
to 20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings, not including references.

A proposal for a tutorial must contain the subject of the tutorial, a
proposed timeline, a note on previous similar tutorials (if applicable) and
the differences to this incarnation, and a brief biography of the
presenter. The proposal should not exceed 2 pages.

                           CONFERENCE GOALS

Modern information systems rely  increasingly on combining concurrent,
distributed,   mobile,  adaptive,   reconfigurable  and   heterogenous
components.  New  models,  architectures, languages  and  verification
techniques are  necessary to cope  with the complexity induced  by the
demands of  today's software development. Coordination  languages have
emerged as  a successful approach,  in that they  provide abstractions
that   cleanly  separate   behaviour  from   communication,  therefore
increasing modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing
software development.

Building  on the  success of  the previous  editions, this  conference
provides  a  well-established  forum  for  the  growing  community  of
researchers  interested  in   models,  languages,  architectures,  and
implementation techniques for coordination.

Topics   of   interest   encompass    all   areas   of   coordination,
including (but not limited to) coordination related aspects of:

* Theoretical  models  and  foundations  for  coordination:  component
  composition,   concurrency,    mobility,   dynamic,    spatial   and
  probabilistic  aspects of  coordination, emergent  behaviour, types,
  semantics;
* Specification, refinement,  and analysis of  architectures: patterns
  and   styles,   verification   of  functional   and   non-functional
  properties, including performance aspects;
* Coordination,  architectural,  and interface  definition  languages:
  implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity;
* Middlewares and coordination;
* Dynamic   software    architectures:   distributed    mobile   code,
  configuration,   reconfiguration,  networked   computing,  parallel,
  high-performance and cloud computing;
* Nature- and bio-inspired approaches to coordination;
* Coordination   of  multiagent   and   collective  systems:   models,
  languages,   infrastructures,  self-adaptation,   self-organisation,
  distributed solving, collective intelligence and emerging behaviour;
* Coordination  and   modern  distributed  computing:   Web  services,
  peer-to-peer networks, grid computing, context-awareness, ubiquitous
  computing, mobile computing;
* Programming languages,  middleware, tools, and environments  for the
  development of coordinated applications;
* Programming   methodologies   and    verification   of   coordinated
  applications;
* Industrial  relevance of  coordination  and software  architectures:
  programming in the large, domain-specific software architectures and
  coordination models, case studies;
* Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination.




                             PROCEEDINGS

The  conference proceedings  will  be published  by  Springer, in  the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Extended versions of  a selection of the best papers  is planned to be
published  in  a special  issue  of  an  international journal  as  in
previous issues of COORDINATION.

                  http://www.cs.swansea.ac.uk/lcc/
======================================================================

LCC meetings are aimed at the foundational interconnections between logic and
computational complexity, as present, for example, in implicit computational
complexity (descriptive and type-theoretic methods); deductive formalisms as
they relate to complexity (e.g. ramification, weak comprehension, bounded
arithmetic, linear logic and resource logics); complexity aspects of finite
model theory and databases; complexity-mindful program derivation and
verification; computational complexity at higher type; and proof complexity.
The program will consist of invited lectures as well as contributed talks
selected by the Program Committee.

OBJECTIVES

The first joint international workshop on Developments in Implicit 
Computational complExity (DICE) and
FOundational and Practical Aspects of Resource Analysis (FOPARA) will be 
held in Uppsala, Sweden, from April 22-23, 2017 as part of ETAPS.

The DICE workshop explores the area of Implicit Computational Complexity 
(ICC), which grew out from several proposals to use logic and formal 
methods to provide languages for complexity-bounded computation (e.g. 
Ptime, Logspace computation). It aims at studying the computational 
complexity of programs without referring to external measuring 
conditions or a particular machine model, but only by considering 
language restrictions or logical/computational principles entailing 
complexity properties.

The FOPARA workshop serves as a forum for presenting original research 
results that are relevant to the analysis of resource (e.g. time, space, 
energy) consumption by computer programs. The workshop aims to bring 
together the researchers that work on foundational issues with the 
researchers that focus more on practical results. Therefore, both 
theoretical and practical contributions are encouraged. We also 
encourage papers that combine theory and practice.

Given the complementarity and the synergy between these two communities, 
and following the successful experience of co-location of DICE-FOPARA 
2015 in London at ETAPS 2015, we will hold
the 8th Workshop on DICE and the 5th Workshop on FOPARA together at 
ETAPS 2017.


TOPICS

The joint international DICE-FOPARA workshop serves as a forum for 
presenting original and established research results that are relevant 
to the implicit computational complexity theory and to the analysis of 
resource (e.g. time, space, energy) consumption by computer programs. 
The workshop aims to bring together the researchers that work on 
foundational issues with the researchers that focus more on practical 
results. Therefore, both theoretical and practical contributions are 
encouraged, as well as papers that combine theory and practice.

Areas of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to,
the following:

*   type systems for controlling/inferring/checking complexity
*   logical and machine-independent characterisations of complexity classes
*   logics closely related to complexity classes
*   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
*   application of implicit complexity to security
*   resource static analysis for embedded or/and critical systems;
*   semantic methods to analyse resources, including quasi-interpretations;
*   practical applications of resource analysis;
*   resource analysis by term and graph rewriting.


SUBMISSIONS

We ask for submission of *regular papers* describing original work 
(10--15 pages) or *extended abstracts* (2--6 pages) presenting already 
published work or work in progress.

With respect to regular papers, submissions will be in particular 
verified for
originality and novelty and the manuscript must not have been published, 
nor is presently submitted, elsewhere. With respect of submissions of 
extended abstracts already published manuscripts are acceptable, but 
have to be within the scope of the workshop and potentially give rise to 
lively discussions during the meeting.

After the workshop we plan to edit a special issue of DICE-FOPARA 2017 
in a renown journal in conjunction with the 7th Workshop on Developments 
in Implicit Computational complExity (DICE 2016).

Regular papers must be prepared using the LaTeX EPTCS class (see 
http://eptcs.org/).  Accepted regular papers will appear in an EPTCS 
volume (application pending). Papers should be submitted electronically 
via the submission page:

      https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dicefopara2017

                       SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

  TABLEAUX 2017
     26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with
      Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
 University of Bras?lia, Brazil
      September 25-28, 2017

Submission Deadline: 25 Apr 2017

 http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/


GENERAL INFORMATION
  TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research
  on all aspects, theoretical foundations, implementation techniques,
  systems development and applications, of the mechanization of
  tableau-based reasoning and related methods is presented. As
  the first TABLEAUX workshop was held in Lautenbach in 1992, this
  year's conference will include special events celebrating 25 years
  of TABLEAUX.

  The conference will be held in Bras?lia from 25-28 September 2017.
  It will be co-located with both the 11th International Symposium
  on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017) and the 8th
  International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP
  2017).

TOPICS
  Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for
  automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical
  logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For large groups
  of logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. Areas
  of application include verification of software and computer
  systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its
  required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.

  Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    * tableau methods for classical and non-classical logics
      (including first-order, higher-order, modal, temporal,
      description, hybrid, intuitionistic, substructural,
      relevance, non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic
      foundations;
    * related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking,
      connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
    * sequent calculi and natural deduction calculi for classical
      and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof
      representation;
    * flexible, easily extendable, light weight methods for theorem
      proving;
    * novel types of calculi for theorem proving and verification
      in classical and non-classical logics;
    * systems, tools, implementations, empirical evaluations and
      applications (provers, logical frameworks, model checkers, ...);
    * implementation techniques (data structures, efficient
      algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, ...);
    * extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven
      learning, generation of proofs; compact (or humanly readable)
      representation of proofs;
    * decision procedures, theoretically optimal procedures;
    * applications of automated deduction to mathematics, software
      development, verification, deductive and temporal
      databases, knowledge representation, ontologies, fault
      diagnosis or teaching.

  We also welcome papers describing applications of tableau
  procedures to real world examples. Such papers should be tailored
  to the tableau community and should focus on the role of
  reasoning, and logical aspects of the solution.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS

PUBLICATION DETAILS
  The conference proceedings will published in the Springer
  LNAI/LNCS series, as in previous editions.

SUBMISSIONS
  Submissions are invited in two categories:

    A  Research papers, which describe original theoretical
       research, original algorithms, or applications, with length
       up to 15 pages.
    B  System descriptions, with length up to 9 pages.

  Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of
  external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance
  and originality.

  For category A, theoretical results and algorithms must be
  original, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
  will be reviewed taking into account correctness, theoretical
  elegance, and possible implementability.

  For category B submissions, a working implementation must be
  accessible via the internet, which includes sources. The aim of a
  system description is to make the system available in such a way
  that users can use it, understand it, and build on it.

  Accepted papers in both categories will be published in the
  conference proceedings. Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the
  llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via
  the EasyChair system:
  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux2017.

  For all accepted papers at least one author is required to attend
  the conference and present the paper. A paper title and a short
  abstract of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper
  submission deadline. Further information about paper submissions
  will be made available at the conference website. Be aware that
  neither plagiarism, nor self-plagiarism, nor duplicate publication
  is acceptable. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files
  can be obtained via

http://www.springer.com/br/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

BEST PAPER AWARD
  The TABLEAUX 2017 Best Paper Award will be presented to the best
  submission nominated and chosen by the Program Committee among
  the accepted papers. The eligibility criteria will place emphasis
  on the originality and significance of the contribution, but
  readability and the overall technical quality, including correctness
  and completeness of results, will also be considered. The TABLEAUX
  Best Paper Award was established in 2015 and is a permanent
  initiative of TABLEAUX.

Scope

CAV 2017 is the 29th in a series dedicated to the advancement of the theory
and practice of computer-aided formal analysis and synthesis methods for
hardware and software systems.  CAV considers it vital to continue spurring
advances in hardware and software verification while expanding to domains
such as cyber-physical, social, and biological systems.  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
Algorithms and tools for system synthesis
Mathematical and logical foundations of verification and synthesis
Specifications and correctness criteria for programs and systems
Deductive verification using proof assistants
Hardware verification techniques
Program analysis and software verification
Software synthesis
Hybrid systems and embedded systems verification
Compositional and abstraction-based techniques for verification
Probabilistic and statistical approaches to verification
Verification methods for parallel and concurrent systems
Testing and run-time analysis based on verification technology
Decision procedures and solvers for verification and synthesis
Applications and case studies in verification and synthesis
Verification in industrial practice
New application areas for algorithmic verification and synthesis
Formal models and methods for security
Formal models and methods for biological systems


Paper Submission

NEW this year:
There is no separate registration deadline. Full papers should be uploaded
by the submission deadline.
Tool papers require a concurrent artifact submission together with the
paper submission. Artifact evaluation occurs concurrently with the review
process and the PC gets access to the artifact evaluation during the PC
discussions.
Submissions on a wide range of topics are sought, particularly ones that
identify new research directions.  CAV 2017 is not limited to topics
discussed in previous instances of the conference.  Authors concerned about
the appropriateness of a topic may communicate with the conference chairs
prior to submission.

As explained below, CAV 2017 will follow a lightweight double-blind review
process.  Submissions that are not ?blinded? will be rejected without
review.  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 here
https://cav2017.mpi-sws.org/

Submissions will be in two categories: Regular Papers and Tool Papers.

Regular Papers

Regular Papers should not exceed 16 pages in LNCS format, not counting
references and appendices.  Authors can include a clearly marked appendix
at the end of their submissions, that is exempt from the page limit
restrictions. However, the reviewers are not obliged to read the contents
of these appendices.  These papers should contain original research and
sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution.
Papers will be evaluated on basis of a combination of correctness,
technical depth, significance, novelty, clarity, and elegance. We welcome
papers on theory, case studies, and comparisons with existing experimental
research, as well as combinations of new theory with experimental
evaluation.  A strong theoretical paper is not required to have an
experimental component.  On the other hand, strong papers reproducing and
comparing existing results experimentally do not require new theoretical
insights.

We encourage authors to provide any supplementary material that is required
to support the claims made in the paper, such as detailed proofs 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.

Tool Papers

Tool Papers should not exceed 6 pages, not counting references.  These
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.  Note that
tool papers require the submission of an artifact for evaluation by the
submission deadline.  Artifacts will be evaluated concurrently with the
review process and the program committee will have access to the artifact
evaluation while making their decision.  In special cases, where an
artifact cannot be submitted, the authors should contact the program chairs
to find alternate modes of artifact evaluation.

Lightweight Double-Blind Reviewing Process
CAV 2017 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. This
means that committee members will not have access to authors? names or
affiliations as they review a paper; however, authors? names will be
revealed once reviews have been submitted.

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 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, makes
the job of reviewing the paper more difficult, or interferes with the
process of disseminating new ideas. For example, important background
references should *not* be omitted or anonymized, even if they are written
by the same authors and share common ideas, techniques, or infrastructure.
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.



Artifact Submission and Evaluation

Authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to submit (but are not
required to submit) the relevant artifact for evaluation by the artifact
evaluation committee.

Authors of all tool papers are required to submit their artifact to the
artifact evaluation committee at the paper submission time. Unlike regular
papers, the results of the artifact evaluation for tool papers will be
available to the program committee during the online discussions.

To submit an artifact, please prepare a virtual machine (VM) image of your
artifact and keep it accessible through an HTTP link throughout the
evaluation process. As the basis of the VM image, please choose commonly
used OS versions that have been tested with the virtual machine software
and that evaluators are likely to be accustomed to. We encourage you to use
https://www.virtualbox.org and save the VM image as an Open Virtual
Appliance (OVA) file. Please include the prepared link in the appropriate
field of the paper submission form.

In addition, please supply at submission time a link to a short plain-text
file describing the OS and parameters of the image, as well as the host
platform on which you prepared and tested your virtual machine image (OS,
RAM, number of cores, CPU frequency). Please describe how to proceed after
booting the image, including the instructions for locating the full
documentation for evaluating the artifact.

If you are not in a position to prepare the artifact as above, please
contact PC chairs for an alternative arrangement.

It is to the advantage of authors to prepare an artifact that is easy to
evaluate by the artifact evaluation committee and that yields expected
results. We next provide some guidelines.  Document in detail how to
reproduce most of the experimental results of the paper using the artifact;
keep this process simple through easy-to-use scripts and provide detailed
documentation assuming minimum expertise of users. Ensure the artifact is
in the state ready to run. It should work without a network connection. It
should not require the user to install additional software before running.
It should use reasonably modest resources (RAM, number of cores), so that
the results can be reproduced on various hardware platforms including
laptops. The evaluation should take reasonable amount of time to complete.
When possible include source code within your virtual machine image and
point to the most relevant and interesting parts of the source code tree.

Members of the artifact evaluation committee and the program committee are
asked to use submitted artifact for the sole purpose of evaluating the
contribution associated with the artifact.

Message-ID: <D3D4A274-1D54-4B4D-BB2C-1ADC38C8A6E3@mpi-sws.org>

*** Postdoc opening on weak memory concurrency at MPI-SWS ***

Applications are invited for a full-time postdoctoral research position
at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) based 
at Kaiserslautern, Germany, under the supervision of Viktor Vafeiadis
(http://www.mpi-sws.org/~viktor/).

The initial postdoc appointment is for two years, starting anytime, 
with an option to extend to a third year (depending on performance). 
The position is relatively independent in that it is not tied to a specific 
project and there is considerable freedom to choose a research topic.
Nevertheless, the postdoc is expected to collaborate closely with other
researchers in the group. Thus, the main topics of interest are:
- weak memory model semantics
- manual or automated verification of concurrent programs
- efficient compilation and/or optimisation of concurrent programs
- verification or testing of compilers for concurrent programs
- static and/or dynamic analysis under weak memory consistency.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in at least 
one of the following areas:
- weak memory model semantics
- concurrent separation logic
- interactive theorem proving (e.g., Coq or Isabelle)
- static analysis of concurrent programs
- compilation (esp. for concurrent programs)

Qualified candidates are encouraged to contact me directly by e-mail
(viktor AT mpi-sws DOT org) and in addition to submit a formal online
application at:

	https://apply.mpi-sws.org/

The application consists of a CV, a research statement, and a list of
referees. 

Application deadline: Friday, 10 February.

============================================
Final Call for Papers

10th International Conference on Graph Transformation
ICGT 2017
Marburg (Germany), 18-19 July 2017

Part of STAF 2017
https://sites.google.com/site/gratra2017/
============================================

Aims and Scope
---------------------------------
Dynamic structures are a major cause for complexity when it comes to model
and reason about systems. They occur in software architectures, models,
pointer structures, databases, networks, etc. As collections of
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, refactoring, and evolution of a wide range of artefacts,
where change can happen either at design time or at run time.

Based on the observation that these structures can be represented as graphs
and their modifications 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, either in contributing to the theory of graph
transformation or by applying graph transformation to established or novel
areas.

The 10th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2017) will
be held in Marburg, Germany, as part of STAF 2017 (Software Technologies:
Applications and Foundations). The conference takes place under the
auspices of EATCS, EASST, and IFIP WG 1.3. Proceedings will be published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, and a
special issue has been confirmed with the Journal of Logic and Algebraic
Methods in Programming (Elsevier).

Topics of Interest
---------------------------------
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- General models of graph transformation (e.g., high-level, adhesive, node,
edge, and hyperedge replacement systems)
- Analysis and verification of graph transformation systems
- Graph theoretical properties of graph languages
- Automata on graphs and parsing of graph languages
- Logical aspects of graph transformation
- Computational models based on graph transformation
- Structuring and modularization of graph transformation

- Research papers (16 pages max) are evaluated with respect to their
originality, significance, and technical soundness. Additional material
intended for reviewers may be included in a clearly marked appendix.
- Case studies (12 pages max) describe applications of graph
transformations in any application domain.
- Tool presentation papers (12 pages max) demonstrate the main features and
functionality of graph-based tools. These papers may have an appendix with
a detailed demo description (up to 5 pages), which will be reviewed but not
included in the proceedings.

Special Issue
---------------------------------
A special issue of the Journal of Logic and Algebraic Methods in
Programming (Elsevier) will be devoted to extended versions of the best

=== 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



=== Selection Procedure ===


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


During the review phase, each submission is published in a dedicated 
discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of 
the submission and by all PC members not in conflict with the submission 
(the forum preserves anonymity). The forum is used by reviewers to ask 
questions, clarifications, and modifications from the authors, allowing 
them better to explain and to improve all 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 eight 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.


This year we will adopt a light double-blind reviewing process, detailed 
below.



=== Submission Guidelines ===


We invite two types of submissions:


- Research papers, original contributions that will be published in the 
workshop post-proceedings. Research papers must not be simultaneously 
submitted to other conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The 
page limit for research papers is 16 pages + 2 pages of references.


- Oral communications, that will be presented at the workshop, but will 
not appear in the post-proceedings. This type of contribution includes 
e.g. previously published contributions, preliminary work, and position 
papers. There is no strict page limit for this kind of submission but 
submissions of at most five pages would be appreciated. A one page 
summary of previously published work also perfectly fits this category.


Authors of research papers must omit their names and institutions from 
the title page, they should refer to their other work in the third 
person and omit acknowledgements that could reveal their identity or 
affiliation. The purpose is to avoid any bias based on authors? identity 
characteristics, such as gender, seniority, or nationality, in the 
review process.  Our goal is to facilitate an unbiased approach to 
reviewing by supporting reviewers? access to works that do not carry 
obvious references to the authors? identities. As mentioned above, this 
is a lightweight double-blind process. Anonymization should not be a 
heavy burden for authors, and should not make papers weaker or more 
difficult to review. Advertising the paper on alternate forums (e.g., on 
a personal web-page, pre-print archive, email, talks, discussions with 
colleagues) is permitted, and authors will not be penalized by for such 
advertisement.


Papers in the ?Communications? category need not be anonymized.  For any 
questions concerning the double blind process, feel free to consult the 
ICEcreamers.


We are keen to enhance the balanced, inclusive and diverse nature of the 
ICE community, and would particularly encourage female colleagues and 
members of other underrepresented groups to submit their work.


Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair 
(<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2017>https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2017). 



=== Publications ===


Accepted research papers and communications must be presented at the 
workshop by one of the authors.


Accepted research papers will be published after the workshop in 
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science 
(<http://eptcs.org/>http://eptcs.org/).


We plan to invite authors of selected papers and brief announcements to 
submit their work ina special issue in the Journal of Logical and 
Algebraic Methods in Programming (Elsevier). 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. A list 
of published and in preparation special issues of previous ICE editions 
is reported below.

Applications are now being accepted <https://goo.gl/forms/M54ML7W7vtcSt3fW2>!

Overview
Can critical systems be built with zero bugs in critical components such as hardware, operating systems, compilers, or crypto? It may seem a pipe dream, but in fact the past decade has seen explosive advances in the technology required to realize it.

This summer school aims to give participants a wide-ranging overview of several ambitious projects currently underway in this space. 

Participants will complete the summer school with a thorough understanding of the conceptual underpinnings of these projects plus considerable hands-on experience with state-of-the-art tools for building verified systems.


Dates
The summer school will open with a three-day intensive course on Coq fundamentals, for participants who are new to Coq. The main lectures take place during the weeks of July 17 and 24. 

July 13-15 (Thu-Sat) 	Coq intensive 
July 17-21 	Week 1
July 24-28 	Week 2
Lecturers and Topics
Andrew Appel 	Verified functional algorithms 
Adam Chlipala 	Program-specific proof automation
Frans Kaashoek & Nickolai Zeldovich 	Certifying software with crashes 
Xavier Leroy 	The structure of a verified compiler
Benjamin Pierce 	Property-based random testing with QuickChick 
Zhong Shao 	CertiKOS: Certified kit operating systems
Stephanie Weirich 	Language specification and variable binding
Steve Zdancewic 	Vellvm: Verifying the LLVM 

Prerequisites
The DeepSpec summer school is aimed at a wide range of participants, including graduate students, academics, and industrial engineers and researchers. 

The Coq proof assistant will serve as a lingua franca for all the lectures. Participants who are not already familiar with Coq at the level of Software Foundations <https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/sf/current/index.html> should plan on attending the Coq Intensive before the summer school.


Costs and Financial Aid
The total cost (for lectures, meals, and dormitory lodging) is expected to be roughly $2000 per participant.

Substantial subsidies are available, courtesy of the NSF (thank you!), for students requiring financial assistance to attend. More details will be announced when applications open.

Applications
Applications are now?open (here) <https://goo.gl/forms/M54ML7W7vtcSt3fW2>!  Applications received by Feb 15 will be given equal consideration; applications received after Feb 15 will be considered on a space-available basis.

  LASSY 2017 - 2nd Workshop on Live Adaptation of Software SYstems

    Submissions: Fri 3 Feb 2017
    Notifications: Fri 3 Mar 2017
    Workshop date: Mon 3 Apr 2017

    http://2017.programming-conference.org/track/LASSY-2017-papers
******************************************************************

When developing current-day software systems, their deployment and usage 
environments should be considered carefully, in order to understand the 
adaptations those systems might need to undergo to interact with other 
systems and with their environment. Moreover, due to the portability, 
mobility and increasingly evolutionary nature of software systems, such 
adaptations should be enacted even while the system is running. 
Developing such software systems can prove challenging, and many 
seemingly different techniques to address this concern have been 
proposed over the last couple of years.

The intention of the LASSY workshop is to congregate all topics relevant 
to dynamic adaptation and run-time evolution of software systems, 
ranging from a computer science perspective covering the domains of 
programming languages, model-driven software development, software and 
service composition, context-aware databases, software variability, 
requirements engineering, UI adaptation and other domains, to a human 
perspective covering sociological or ethical implications of dynamic 
software systems. The workshop provides a space for discussion and 
collaboration between researchers working on the problem of enabling 
live adaptations to software systems, across the development stack.

Topics of Interest:

     * Design and Implementation of Live Adaptive Software Systems
         * Context-, aspect-, feature-, role- and agent-oriented programming
         * Context representation and discovery
         * Context-aware model-driven software development
         * Context-aware data management
         * Software variability and dynamic product lines
         * Self-adaptive, self-explanatory systems
         * Inconsistency management, verification, and validation
     * Middleware and Runtime of Live Adaptive Software Systems
         * Dynamic software evolution, upgrades and configuration
         * Dynamic software and service composition mechanisms
         * Dynamic software architecture and middleware approaches
         * Dynamic user interface adaptation and multimodal user interfaces
     * Impact and Assessment of Live Adaptive Software Systems
         * User acceptance and usability issues
         * Human, sociological, ethical and legal aspects
         * Privacy and security aspects of dynamic adaptability
         * Live adaptation in smart environments (e.g. smart rooms, 
smart robot cells, smart factories, smart cities)
         * Self-adaptation and emergence in SoS and CPSoS

  MiniPLoP 2017 - Mini Pattern Languages of Programs writers' workshop

    Workshop date: Mon 3 Apr 2017

    http://2017.programming-conference.org/track/MiniPLoP-2017-papers
**********************************************************************

Software developers and those involved with programming have long 
observed that certain patterns recur and endure across different 
applications and systems. The growing interest in Design Patterns, 
Architectural Patterns, Analysis Patterns, Pedagogical Patterns, Agile 
Patterns, and so on, represents an effort to catalog and better 
communicate knowledge, providing handbooks of proven solutions to common 
problems.

The MiniPLoP writers' workshop brings together researchers, educators, 
and practitioners whose interests span a remarkably broad range of 
topics and who share an interest in exploring the power of the pattern 
form. MiniPLoP invites you to add your expertise to the growing corpus 
of patterns. MiniPLoP focuses on improving the expression of patterns. 
You will have the opportunity to refine and extend your patterns or 
pattern ideas with the help from knowledgeable and sympathetic fellow 
pattern enthusiasts. You will also be able to discuss applications of 
patterns in industry and academia. Techniques for Pattern Mining will 
also be presented.

Highlights include group discussions on patterns, an introduction to 
pattern writing, an international keynote, and the writers? workshop. 
This MiniPLoP at <Programming> 2017 has the goal to help beginners learn 
more about the pattern community. If you have some patterns or pattern 
ideas you would like to have brainstormed or workshopped, please contact 
the organizers at: miniplop2017 at hillside.net

  MOMO 2017 - 2nd Workshop on Modularity in Modelling

    Abstract submissions (optional) **extended** : Sun Feb 5 2017
    Paper submissions **extended** : Sun Feb 12 2017
    Notifications: Wed Feb 22 2017
    Workshop date: Mon 3 Apr 2017

    http://www.momo2017.ece.mcgill.ca/cfp.htm
****************************************************************

Extending the time-honored practice of separation of concerns, 
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) promotes the use of separate models to 
address the various concerns in the development of complex 
software-intensive systems. The main objective is to choose the right 
level of abstraction to modularize a concern, specify its properties and 
reason about the system under development depending on stakeholder and 
development needs. While some of these models can be defined with a 
single modelling language, a variety of heterogeneous models and 
languages are typically used in the various phases of software 
development. Furthermore, Domain-Specific Modelling Languages designed 
to address particular concerns are also increasingly used.

Despite the power of abstraction of modelling, models of real-world 
problems and systems quickly grow to such an extent that managing the 
complexity by using proper modularization techniques becomes necessary. 
As a result, many (standard) modelling notations have been extended with 
aspect-oriented mechanisms and advanced composition operators to support 
advanced separation of concerns, to combine (possibly heterogeneous) 
models modularizing different concerns, to execute an application based 
on modularized models, and to reason over global properties of 
modularized models.

The Second International Modularity in Modelling Workshop brings 
together researchers and practitioners interested in the theoretical and 
practical challenges resulting from applying modularity, advanced 
separation of concerns, and advanced composition at the modelling level. 
It is intended to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and 
discussing the impact of the use of modularization in the context of MDE 
at different levels of abstraction.

We are interested in submissions on all topics related to modularity and 
modelling including but not limited to:

     * Modularization Support in Modelling Languages and Tools
         * Model Interfaces
         * Homogeneous Model Composition Operators
         * Heterogeneous Model Composition Operators
         * Visualization of Modularized and Composed Models
     * Effects of Using Modularization and Composition in Modelling
         * On Verification and Validation
         * On Reuse
         * On the Model-Driven Software Development Process 
(Requirements Engineering, Software Architecture, Software Design, 
Implementation)
         * On Maintenance
         * Experience Reports / Empirical Evaluations of Applying 
Modularization and Composition in Modelling
     * Feature-Oriented, Aspect-Oriented and Concern-Oriented Modelling
         * Modularization support and composition operators for specific 
modelling notations
         * Modelling essential characteristics of specific 
(crosscutting) concerns

Redundancies
         * Support for Detecting and/or Resolution of Feature Interactions
     * Domain-Specific Modelling
         * Modularization for Domain-Specific Languages
         * Composition for Domain-Specific Languages
         * Domain-specific Aspect Models

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

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, code quality, such as modularity or extensibility, remains a 
cornerstone in modern software engineering, bringing in crucial benefits 
such as modular reasoning, 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, while preserving high internal code quality. 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 internal 
code quality 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 software development.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

     * Energy-aware software engineering (e.g. energy efficiency models, 
energy efficiency as a quality attribute)
     * Modularity support (e.g., programming language design, 
development tools or verification) for applications in 
resource-constrained or real-time systems
     * Emerging platforms (e.g., Internet of Things and wearable devices)
     * Security support (e.g., compositional information flow, 
compositional program analysis)
     * Software architecture for reusability and adaptability in systems 
and their interactions with applications
     * Empirical studies (patterns and anti-patterns) on the 
relationship between internal code quality and system-oriented goals
     * Software engineering techniques to balance the trade-off between 
internal code quality and efficiency
     * Memory bloats and long-tail performance problems across modular 
boundaries
     * Program optimization across modular boundaries
     * Internal code quality in systems software
     * Reasoning across applications, compilers, and virtual machines

  PX 2017 - 2nd Programming Experience Workshop

    Submissions: Sat 4 Feb 2017

    Workshop date: Mon 3 Apr 2017

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

Imagine a software development task: some sort of requirements and 
specification including performance goals and perhaps a platform and 
programming language. A group of developers head into a vast workroom. 
In that room they discover they need to explore the domain and the 
nature of potential solutions?they need exploratory programming.

The Programming Experience Workshop is about what happens in that room 
when one or a couple of programmers sit down in front of computers and 
produce code, especially when it?s exploratory programming. Do they 
create text that is transformed into running behavior (the old way), or 
do they operate on behavior directly (?liveness?); are they exploring 
the live domain to understand the true nature of the requirements; are 
they like authors creating new worlds; does visualization matter; is the 
experience immediate, immersive, vivid and continuous; do fluency, 
literacy, and learning matter; do they build tools, meta-tools; are they 
creating languages to express new concepts quickly and easily; and 
curiously, is joy relevant to the experience?

Correctness, performance, standard tools, foundations, and 
text-as-program are important traditional research areas, but the 
experience of programming and how to improve and evolve it are the focus 
of this workshop, and in this edition we would like to focus on 
exploratory programming.

The technical topics include:

     * Exploratory programming
     * Live programming
     * Authoring
     * Representation of active content
     * Visualization
     * Navigation
     * Modularity mechanisms
     * Immediacy
     * Literacy
     * Fluency
     * Learning
     * Tool building
     * Language engineering

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

Full-fledged web applications have become ubiquitous on desktop and 
mobile devices alike. Whereas ?responsive? web applications already 
offered a more desktop-like experience, there is an increasing demand 
for ?rich? web applications (RIAs) that offer collaborative and even 
off-line functionality ?Google docs being the prototypical example. Long 
gone are the days that web servers merely had to answer incoming HTTP 
request with a block of static HTML. Today?s servers react to a 
continuous stream of events coming from JavaScript applications that 
have been pushed to clients. As a result, application logic and data is 
increasingly distributed. Traditional dichotomies such as ?client vs. 
server? and ?offline vs. online? are fading.

The 1st International Workshop on Programming Technology for the Future 
Web, or ProWeb17, is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share 
and discuss new technology for programming these and future evolutions 
of the web. We welcome submissions introducing programming technology 
(i.e., frameworks, libraries, programming languages, program analyses 
and development tools) for implementing web applications and for 
maintaining their quality over time, as well as experience reports about 
the use of state-of-the-art programming technology.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

     * Quality on the new web: static and dynamic program analyses; 
code, design test and process metrics; development and migration tools; 
automated testing and test generation; contract systems, type systems, 
and web service API conformance checking; ?
     * Hosting languages on the web: new runtimes; transpilation or 
compilation to JavaScript, WebAssembly, asm.js, ?
     * Designing languages for the web: multi-tier (or tierless) 
programming; reactive programming; frameworks for multi-tier or reactive 
programming on the web; ?
     * Distributed data sharing, replication and consistency: cloud 
types, CRDTs, eventual consistency, offline storage, peer-to-peer 
communication, ?
     * Security on the web: client-side and server-side security 
policies; policy enforcement; proxies and membranes; vulnerability 
detection; dynamic patching, ?
     * Surveys and case studies using state-of-the-art web technology 
(e.g., WebAssembly, WebSocket, LocalStorage, AppCache, ServiceWorkers, 
Meteor, deepstream.io, Angular.js, React and React Native, Swarm.js, 
Caja, TypeScript, Proxies, ClojureScript, Amber Smalltalk, Scala.js, ?)
     * Ideas on and experience reports about: how to reconcile the need 
for quality with the need for agility on the web; how to master and 
combine the myriad of tier-specific technologies required to develop a 
web application, ?
     * Position statements on what the future of the web will look like

  Salon des Refus?s 2017

    Submissions: Wed 1 Feb 2017
    Notifications: Fri 17 Feb 2017
    Workshop date: Tue 4 Apr 2017

    https://refuses.github.io
****************************************************************

Salon des Refus?s (?exhibition of rejects?) was an 1863 exhibition of 
artworks rejected from the official Paris Salon. The jury of Paris Salon 
required near-photographic realism and classified works according to a 
strict genre hierarchy. Paintings by many, later famous, modernists such 
as ?douard Manet were rejected and appeared in what became known as the 
Salon des Refus?s. This workshop aims to be the programming language 
research equivalent of Salon des Refus?s. We provide a venue for 
exploring new ideas and new ways of doing computer science.

Many interesting ideas about programming might struggle to find space in 
the modern programming language research community, often because they 
are difficult to evaluate using established evaluation methods (be it 
proofs, measurements or controlled user studies). As a result, new ideas 
are often seen as ?unscientific?.

This workshop provides a venue where such interesting and 
thought-provoking ideas can be exposed to critical evaluation. 
Submissions that provoke interesting discussion among the program 
committee members will be published together with an attributed review 
that presents an alternative position, develops additional context or 
summarizes discussion from the workshop. This means of engaging with 
papers not just enables explorations of novel programming ideas, but 
also encourages new ways of doing computer science.
Topics of interest

The scope of the workshop is determined more by the format of 
submissions than by the specific area of programming language or 
computer science research that we are interested in. We welcome 
submissions in a format that makes it possible to think about 
programming in a new way, including, but not limited to:

     * Thought experiments ? we believe that thought experiments, 
analogies and illustrative metaphors can provide novel insights and 
inspire fruitful programming language ideas.
     * Experimentation ? we find prejudices in favour of theory, as far 
back as there is institutionalized science, but programming can often be 
seen more as experimentation than as theorizing. We welcome interesting 
experiments even if there is yet no overarching theory that explains why 
they happened.
     * Paradigms ? all scientific work is rooted in a scientific 
paradigm that frame what questions can be asked. We encourage 
submissions that reflect on existing paradigms or explore alternative 
scientific paradigms.
     * Metaphors, myths and analogies ? any description of formal, 
mathematical, quantitative or even poetical nature still represents just 
an analogy. We believe that fruitful ideas can be learned from less 
common forms of analogies as well as from the predominant, formal and 
mathematical ones.
     * From jokes to science fiction ? a story or an artistic 
performance may explore ideas and spark conversations that provide 
crucial inspiration for development of new computer science thinking.

CONFERENCE SCOPE AND PUBLICATION

FMCAD 2017 is the seventeenth in a series of conferences on the theory and
applications of formal methods in hardware and system verification. FMCAD
provides a leading forum to researchers in academia and industry for
presenting and discussing groundbreaking methods, technologies, theoretical
results, and tools for reasoning formally about computing systems. FMCAD
covers formal aspects of computer-aided system design including verification,
specification, synthesis, and testing.

FMCAD employs a rigorous peer-review process. Accepted papers are distributed
through both ACM and IEEE digital libraries. In addition, published articles
are made available freely on the conference page; the authors retain the
copyright. There are no publication fees. At least one of the authors is
required to register for the conference and present the accepted paper. A
small number of outstanding FMCAD submissions will be considered for
inclusion in a Special Issue of the journal on Formal Methods in System
Design (FMSD).


TOPICS OF INTEREST

FMCAD welcomes submission of papers reporting original research on advances
in all aspects of formal methods and their applications to computer-
aided design. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

-- Model checking, theorem proving, equivalence checking, abstraction and
   reduction, compositional methods, decision procedures at the bit- and
   word-level, probabilistic methods, combinations of deductive methods and
   decision procedures.

-- Synthesis and compilation for computer system descriptions, modeling,
   specification, and implementation languages, formal semantics of
   languages and their subsets, model-based design, design derivation and
   transformation, correct-by-construction methods.

-- Application of formal and semi-formal methods to functional and
   non-functional specification and validation of hardware and software,
   including timing and power modeling, verification of computing systems
   on all levels of abstraction, system-level design and verification for
   embedded systems, cyber-physical systems, automotive systems and
   other safety-critical systems, hardware-software co-design and
   verification, and transaction-level verification.

-- Experience with the application of formal and semi-formal methods to
   industrial-scale designs; tools that represent formal verification
   enablement, new features, or a substantial improvement in the automation
   of formal methods.

-- Application of formal methods to verifying safety, correctness,
   connectivity, and security properties of networks and distributed
   systems.


SUBMISSIONS

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair:

      https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmcad17

Two categories of papers are invited: Regular papers, and Tool & Case Study
papers. Regular papers are expected to offer novel foundational ideas,
theoretical results, or algorithmic improvements to existing methods,
along with experimental impact validation where applicable. Tool & Case
Study papers are expected to report on the design, implementation or use of
verification (or related) technology in a practically relevant context
(which need not be industrial), and its impact on design processes.

Both Regular and Tool & Case study papers must use the IEEE Transactions
format on letter-size paper with a 10-point font size. Regular papers can be
up to 8 pages in length and tool papers up to 4 pages, although there
is no requirement to fill all pages in either category. Authors will be
required to select the appropriate paper category at abstract submission
time. Submissions may contain an optional appendix, which will not appear
in the final version of the paper. The reviewers should be able to assess
the quality and the relevance of the results in the paper without reading
the appendix.

Submissions in both categories must contain original research that has not
been previously published, nor is concurrently submitted for publication.
Any partial overlap with published or concurrently submitted papers must be
clearly indicated. If experimental results are reported, authors are
strongly encouraged to provide the reviewers access to their data at
submission time, so that results can be independently verified.

3rd International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods for 
Reachability Analysis 

April 22, 2017, Uppsala, Sweden

Final version: March 24, 2017 
Workshop date: April 22, 2017 

Scope 
===== 

Hybrid systems are complex dynamical systems that combine discrete and 
continuous components. Reachability questions, regarding whether a 
system can run into a certain subset of its state space, stand at the 
core of verification and synthesis problems for hybrid systems. 

There are several successful methods for hybrid systems reachability 
analysis. Some methods explicitly construct flow-pipes that 
over-approximate the set of reachable states over time, where efficient 
computation of such over-approximations requires symbolic 
representations such as support functions. Other methods based on 
satisfiability checking technologies, symbolically encode reachability 
properties as logical formulas, while solving such formulas requires 
numerically-driven decision procedures. Last but not least, also 
automated deduction and the usage of theorem provers led to efficient 
analysis approaches. The goal of this workshop is to bring together 
researchers working with different reachability analysis techniques 
and to seek for synergies between the different approaches. 

The SNR workshop solicits papers broadly in the area of analysis and 
synthesis of continuous and hybrid systems. The scope of the workshop 
includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics with 
application to continuous and hybrid systems: 

- Reachability analysis 
- Flow-pipe construction; symbolic state set representations 
- Logical frameworks for reasoning 
- Bounded model checking 
- Automated deduction 
- Invariant generation 
- Symbolic execution 
- Trajectory generation; counterexample computation 
- Abstraction techniques 
- Reliable integration 
- Simulation 
- Reachability analysis for planning and synthesis 
- Domain-specific approaches in biology, robotics, etc. 
- Stochastic/probabilistic hybrid systems

Assistant Professor Position in the H2020 ROSIN Project
IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark
https://candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationInit.aspx?cid=119&ProjectId=180826&MediaId=5
***

The IT University of Copenhagen invites applications for an Assistant Professor
position in the area of code scanning and program analysis. The proposed
starting date is 15 March 2017 or soon thereafter.

Job description

An up to 46 months Assistant Professor position within code scanning and
program analysis is available at the Computer Science Department at the IT
University of Copenhagen. This post-doc takes place within the context of the
European H2020 ICT Project ROSIN. The position includes an up to 20% teaching
load.

Robot technology is foreseen to have profound impact on society in the not too
distant future. Today, many robots are programmed using the open-source
Robotics Operating System (ROS, http://www.ros.org/) framework. However, at
present no automatic analysis or code scanning tools are used for open-source
robotic components, and specifically none are yet integrated into ROS?s
development process. This post-doc position is aimed at changing this. The idea
is to develop code scanning and program analysis techniques and apply existing
scanning and analysis technologies to key components of the ROS infrastructure.
In the project there is both space for applying and appropriating QA
technologies for ROS and for developing own tools.  However, it is of key
importance that the tools and solutions can be adopted by practitioners.

The research activities of the Assistant Professor will focus on the
development and/or usage of code scanning techniques and technologies, the
application of and evaluation of code scanning to key components of the ROS
infrastructure, and on automated unit test generation. Also, the candidate will
engage in reaching out to the ROS community to learn about what kind of
analyses are needed and would be most effective for robotics developers.
Moreover, the candidate will disseminate key insights.

The successful candidate is expected to hold a Ph.D. in computer science or
similar and the preferred candidate has experience with:

- code scanning, bug finding, or program analysis techniques
- usage of code scanning or program analysis technology
- It is considered an advantage to have experience in:
    designing and executing controlled experiments
    software testing
    robotics programming, mechatronics

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), Coimbra (Portugal  2014), 
Washington DC (USA 2015) and Bialystok (Poland 2016).

This  is a  call for  papers  for CICM  2017,  which will  be held  in
Edinburgh, Scotland, July 17-21, 2016. CICM 2017 also invites work-in-
progress papers.

  COORDINATION 2017

  19th IFIP International Conference on
  Coordination Models and Languages

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

* Scope *

Modern information systems rely increasingly on combining concurrent,
distributed, mobile, adaptive, reconfigurable and heterogeneous
components. New models, architectures, languages and verification
techniques are necessary to cope with the complexity induced by the
demands of today's software development. Coordination languages have
emerged as a successful approach, in that they provide abstractions that
cleanly separate behaviour from communication, therefore increasing
modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software
development.

Building on the success of the previous editions, this conference
provides a well-established forum for the growing community of
researchers interested in models, languages, architectures, and
implementation techniques for coordination.

Topics of interest encompass all areas of coordination, including (but
not limited to) coordination related aspects of:
- Theoretical models and foundations for coordination: component
  composition, concurrency, mobility, dynamic, spatial and probabilistic
  aspects of coordination, emergent behaviour, types, semantics;
- Specification, refinement, and analysis of architectures: patterns and
  styles, verification of functional and non-functional properties,
  including performance aspects;
- Coordination, architectural, and interface definition languages:
  implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity;
- Middlewares and coordination;
- Dynamic software architectures: distributed mobile code,
  configuration, reconfiguration, networked computing, parallel,
  high-performance and cloud computing;
- Nature- and bio-inspired approaches to coordination;
- Coordination of multiagent and collective systems: models, languages,
  infrastructures, self-adaptation, self-organisation, distributed
  solving, collective intelligence and emerging behaviour;
- Coordination and modern distributed computing: Web services,
  peer-to-peer networks, grid computing, context-awareness, ubiquitous
  computing, mobile computing;
- Programming languages, middleware, tools, and environments for the
  development of coordinated applications;
- Programming methodologies and verification of coordinated
  applications;
- Industrial relevance of coordination and software architectures:
  programming in the large, domain-specific software architectures and
  coordination models, case studies;
- Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination.

Schedule:

deadline for submissions:  17 Mars 2017 
submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=quad2017  
notification to authors:  15 April 2017 
final version due: 19 May 2017 
conference: 17-21 July 2017 

Presentation:

The compositional interpretation of determiners relies on quantifiers  ? in a general acceptation of this later term which includes generalised quantifiers, generics, definite descriptions i.e. any operation that applies to one or several formulas with a free variable, binds it  and yields a formula or possibly a generic term  (the operator is then called a subnector, following Curry). There is a long history of quantification in the Ancient and Medieval times at the border between logic and philosophy of language, before the proper formalisation of quantification by Frege.

A common solution for natural language semantics is the so-called theory of generalised quantifiers. Quantifiers like ? some, exactly two, at most three, the majority of, most of, few, many, ? ? are all described in terms of functions of two predicates viewed as subsets.

Nevertheless, many mathematical and linguistic questions remain open.

On the mathematical side, little is known about generalised , generalised and vague quantifiers, in particular about their proof theory. On the other hand, even for standard quantifiers, indefinites and definite descriptions, there exist alternative formulations with choice functions and generics or subnectors (Russell?s iota, Hilbert-Bernays, eta, epsilon, tau). The computational aspects of these logical frameworks are also worth studying, both for computational linguistic software and for the modelling of the cognitive processes involved in understanding or producing sentences involving quantifiers.

On the linguistic side, the relation between the syntactic structure and its semantic interpretation, quantifier raising, underspecification, scope issues,?  are not fully satisfactory. Furthermore extension of linguistic studies to various languages have shown how complex quantification is in natural language and its relation to phenomena like generics, plurals,  and mass nouns.

Finally, and this can be seen as a link between formal models of quantification and natural language,  there by now exist psycholinguistic experiments that connect formal models and their computational properties to the actual way human do process sentences with quantifiers, and handle their inherent ambiguity, complexity, and difficulty in understanding. 

All those aspects are connected in the didactics of mathematics and computer science: there are specific difficulties to teach (and to learn) how to  understand, manipulate,  produce and  prove quantified statements, and to determine  the proper level of formalisation between bare logical formulas and written or spoken natural language. 

This workshop aims at gathering  mathematicians, logicians, linguists, computer scientists  to present their latest advances in the study of quantification.

Among the topics that wil be addressed are the following :

	? new ideas in quantification in mathematical logic, both model theory and proof theory:
		? choice functions,
		? subnectors (Russell?s iota, Hilbert?s epsilon and tau),
		? higher order quantification,
		? quantification in type theory
	? studies of the lexical, syntactic and semantic of quantification in various languages
	? semantics of noun phrases
	? generic noun phrases
	? semantics of plurals and mass nouns
	? experimental study of quantification and generics
	? computational applications of quantification and polarity especially for question-answering.
	? quantification in the didactics of mathematics and computer science. 


Submissions: 

The program committee is looking for  contributions introducing 
new viewpoints on quantification and determiners,  
the novelty being either in the mathematical logic framework 
or in the linguistic description  or in the cognitive modelling. 
Submitting purely original work is not mandatory,
but authors should clearly mention that the work is not original,
and why they want to present it at this workshop 
(e.g. new viewpoint on already published results) 

Submissions should be 
- 12pt font (at least) 
- 1inch/2.5cm margins all around (at least) 
- less than 2 pages (references exluded)  
- with an abstract of less then 100 words 
and they should be submitted in PDF by easychair here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=quad2017

In case the committee thinks it is more appropriate, 
some papers can be accepted as a poster with a lightning talk. 

Final versions of accepted papers may be slightly longer. 
They will be published on line. 
We also plan to publish postproceedings

 Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems
Message-ID: <ade0b1e5-318e-33a0-13cb-7acd24322095@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr>

MT-CPS'17
2nd International Workshop on
Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems
Pittsburgh, PA, USA
21st April 2017
Co-located with CPS Week

DESCRIPTION

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are integrations of heterogeneous 
collaborative entities that interact between themselves and with 
their physical environment. CPS exhibit complex and unpredictable 
behaviors, thus making their correctness and robustness analysis a 
challenging task. In order to address their full complexity, there is an 
emergent need for formal, yet efficient and scalable methods for the 
verification and analysis of CPS. Light-weight verification techniques, 
such as monitoring and testing, achieve both rigor and efficiency by 
enabling the evaluation of systems according to the properties of their 
individual behaviours.
The MT CPS workshop aims at bringing together researchers and 
practitioners interested in the problems of detecting, testing, 
measuring and extracting qualitative and quantitative properties from 
CPS behaviors. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
?        Specification languages for monitoring and testing
?        Runtime verification and monitoring
?        Black-box and white-box testing
?        Measuring and statistical information gathering
?        Simulation-based verification and parameter synthesis
?        Diagnostics, error localization and repair
?        Combination of static and dynamic analyses
?        Applications and case studies

WORKSHOP FORMAT

MT CPS workshop is intended to be a forum for exchanging the latest 
scientific trends between researchers and practitioners interested in 
the field of light-weight verification and analysis of CPS. As a 
consequence, the workshop will *NOT* have formal proceedings. We 
encourage submission of abstracts that address any of the aforementioned 
topics of interest and cover recently published results as well as work 
in progress.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoc positions available for ERC "RustBelt"
 project on foundations of Rust
Message-ID: <CAEX2k5Fu-7BFkTk2W1BiCjd7RWh6sv5vDN-HhSFWFz37pS_t9A@mail.gmail.com>

I am pleased to announce the availability of 2 postdoc positions for
the project "RustBelt: Logical Foundations for the Future of Safe
Systems Programming", funded by a 2015 ERC Consolidator Grant.

http://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt

This 5-year project concerns the development of rigorous formal
foundations for the Rust programming language.  The project summary
appears below.

Although the main high-level goal of the project is to build logical
foundations for the Rust programming language, the project also serves
to fund technical work on two other major research efforts that feed
into the main goal:

1. The development of *Iris*, a simplifying and unifying framework for
higher-order concurrent separation logic in Coq (see the Iris web page
at http://iris-project.org/).

2. Our ongoing study of improved semantics and logics for relaxed
memory models (see e.g. our work on GPS [OOPSLA'14, PLDI'15] and the
"promising" semantics [POPL'17]).

I am seeking exceptional candidates who are interested (and who
preferably have a proven track record) in one or more of the following
topics:

- Rust
- substructural/ownership type systems
- verification of concurrent programs
- weak/relaxed memory models
- interactive theorem proving in Coq
- compiler verification

Successful applicants will join the Foundations of Programming group,
led by me, at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS)
in Saarbruecken, Germany.  Previous postdocs in the group have
included Andreas Rossberg, Chung-Kil Hur, Neel Krishnaswami, Aaron
Turon, and Jacques-Henri Jourdan.

*Application deadline*: MARCH 1.  If you are interested in joining the
RustBelt team and want to learn more about the project, please contact
me directly at dreyer at mpi-sws.org.  To apply for a postdoc position,
please submit a CV, research statement, and list of references to
https://apply.mpi-sws.org.

For further information, see the project web page at:
http://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/

Best regards,
Derek Dreyer

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

Summary of the RustBelt project proposal:

A longstanding question in the design of programming languages is how
to balance safety and control.  C-like languages give programmers
low-level control over resource management at the expense of safety,
whereas Java-like languages give programmers safe high-level
abstractions at the expense of control.

Rust is a new language developed at Mozilla Research that marries
together the low-level flexibility of modern C++ with a strong
"ownership-based" type system guaranteeing type safety, memory safety,
and data race freedom.  As such, Rust has the potential to
revolutionize systems programming, making it possible to build
software systems that are safe by construction, without having to give
up low-level control over performance.

Unfortunately, none of Rust's safety claims have been formally
investigated, and it is not at all clear that they hold.  To rule out
data races and other common programming errors, Rust's core type
system prohibits the aliasing of mutable state, but this is too
restrictive for implementing some low-level data structures.
Consequently, Rust's standard libraries make widespread internal use
of "unsafe" blocks, which enable them to opt out of the type system
when necessary.  The hope is that such "unsafe" code is properly
encapsulated, so that Rust's language-level safety guarantees are
preserved.  But due to Rust's reliance on a weak memory model of
concurrency, along with its bleeding-edge type system, verifying that
Rust and its libraries are actually safe will require fundamental
advances to the state of the art.

In this project, we aim to equip Rust programmers with the first
formal tools for verifying safe encapsulation of "unsafe" code.  Any
realistic languages targeting this domain in the future will encounter
the same problem, so we expect our results to have lasting impact.  To
achieve this goal, we will build on recent breakthrough developments
by the PI and collaborators in concurrent program logics and semantic
models of type systems.

CSF 2017 Second Call for Papers
30th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium

http://csf2017.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/ <http://csf2017.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/>
August 22-25, 2017
Santa Barbara, California, USA
Co-located with CRYPTO

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.

*****************************************************
SPECIAL SESSIONS

This year, we strongly encourage papers in three foundational areas of research we would like to promote at CSF:

 PRIVACY (Chair: Paul Syverson).  CSF 2017 will include a special session on privacy foundations and invites submissions on innovations in privacy theory or practice; definitions, models, and frameworks for both communications privacy and data privacy; principled analysis of deployed or proposed privacy protection mechanisms; and foundational aspects of theoretical or practical privacy technologies.

 SECURITY ECONOMICS (Chair: Yevgeniy Vorobeychik).  There is an interplay between important system properties including privacy, security, efficiency, flexibility, and usability. Diverse systems balance these properties differently, and as such provide varied benefits (for users) for different costs (for builders and attackers). In short, securing systems is ultimately an economic question. CSF 2017 will include a special session on security economics, where we invite submissions on foundational work in this area. Topics include, but are not limited to, risk management and cyber-insurance, investments in information security, security metrics, decision and game theory for security, and cryptocurrencies.

 COMPUTER-AIDED CRYPTOGRAPHY (Chair: Peter Schwabe).  Modern cryptography is built on firm theoretical foundations. However, cryptography proofs are often intricate and the gap from model to code is usually large, which opens the door to bugs and vulnerabilities. Computer-aided formal methods can provide assurance of the security of cryptographic protocols, primitives and their implementations in software and hardware. We invite submissions on foundational work in this area. Topics include, but are not limited to, verification of cryptographic protocols and primitives, verification of cryptographic software and hardware, tools to automate formal verification, and formal proofs of side-channel countermeasures. CSF 2017 is co-located with CRYPTO 2017, making this special session of interest to many attendees.

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'17 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 intended for one of the special sessions should select the "Privacy", "Security Economics", or "Computer-Aided Cryptography" option, as appropriate.

At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required to attend CSF to present the paper.

Please see http://csf2017.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/ <http://csf2017.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/> for a link to the submission website.

GENERAL INFORMATION
  The 11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
  (FroCoS 2017) will be held in Brasilia, Brazil, between September 25 to
  September 29, 2017. Its main goal is to disseminate and promote
  progress in research areas related to the development of techniques
  for the integration, combination, and modularization of formal
  systems together with their analysis.

  FroCoS 2017 will be co-located with the 26th International
  Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related
  Methods (TABLEAUX 2017) and the 8th International Conference on
  Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2017). The local organization of
  all events will be organised  by Claudia Nalon (USB, Brazil),
  Daniele Nantes (UnB, Brazil), Elaine Pimentel (UFRN, Brazil) and
  Joao Marcos (UFRN, Brazil).

SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
  In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation,
  program development and verification, artificial intelligence,
  knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an
  obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems
  for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized
  systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general
  purpose systems. This has led---in many research areas---to the
  development of techniques and methods for the combination and
  integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their
  modularization and analysis.

  The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
  (FroCoS) traditionally focusses on these types of research questions
  and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2017 seeks to offer a
  common forum for research in the general area of combination,
  modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on
  logic-based ones, and of their practical use.

  Typical topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
    * combinations of logics (such as higher-order, first-order,
      temporal, modal, description or other non-classical logics);
    * combination and integration methods in SAT and SMT solving;
    * combination of decision procedures, satisfiability
      procedures, constraint solving techniques, or logical
      frameworks;
    * combinations and modularity in ontologies;
    * integration of equational and other theories into deductive
      systems;
    * hybrid methods for deduction, resolution and constraint
      propagation;
    * hybrid systems in knowledge representation and natural
      language semantics;
    * combined logics for distributed and multi-agent systems;
    * logical aspects of combining and modularizing programs and
      specifications;
    * integration of data structures into constraint logic
      programming and deduction;
    * combinations and modularity in term rewriting;
    * applications of methods and techniques to the verification and
      analysis of information systems.

SPIN 2017

24th International Symposium on Model Checking of Software

Santa Barbara, CA, USA, July 13-14, 2017

http://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2017<http://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2017/>

Collocated with ISSTA

________________________________

The SPIN symposium aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in automated tool-based techniques for the analysis of software as well as models of software, for the purpose of verification and validation. The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software, but does not exclude analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, empirical evaluation, and education.

History: The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit state model checking, specifically as related to the Spin model checker. However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly scoped symposium for software analysis using any automated techniques, including model checking, automated theorem proving, and symbolic execution.

An overview of the previous SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be found at: http://spinroot.com/spin/symposia.

SPIN 2017 will be organized as an ACM SIGSOFT event, collocated with the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA 2017): http://conf.researchr.org/home/issta-2017.

10th Workshop on Programming Language Approaches to
Concurrency- and Communication-cEntric Software

Co-located with ETAPS 2017, Uppsala, Sweden

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

Modern hardware platforms, from the very small to the very large, increasingly provide parallel computing resources which software may use to maximise performance. Many applications therefore need to make effective use of tens, hundreds, and even thousands of compute nodes. Computation in such systems is thus inherently concurrent and communication-centric.

Effectively programming such applications is challenging; performance, correctness, and scalability are difficult to achieve. Various programming paradigms and methods have emerged to aid this task, including structured imperative concurrent programming, stream-based programming, concurrent functions with asynchronous message passing, automatic parallelisation, and the use of types to describe communications and data structures (such as session and linear types), to name but a few. To fully exploit a (possibly heterogeneous) parallel computing environment often requires these approaches to be combined, depending on the shape of the data and control flow. All the while, the underlying runtime environment must ensure seamless execution without relying on differences in available resources such as the number of cores.

The development of effective programming methodologies for this increasingly parallel landscape therefore demands exploration and understanding of a wide variety of foundational and practical ideas. This workshop offers a forum where researchers from different fields can exchange new ideas on this key challenge to modern and future programming? where concurrency and distribution are the norm rather than a marginal concern.

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 (such as scientific computing) 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

Papers are welcome which present novel and valuable ideas as well as experiences.

Submissions should be (at most) 6-page extended abstracts in EPTCS format and may include an appendix of up to 4 pages. An abstract should be registered via the EasyChair submission site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=places17) by January 29th (anywhere-on-Earth) with the paper submitted by February 5th (anywhere-on-Earth). There will be a post-proceedings special issue in JLAMP (Journal of Logic and Algebraic Methods) after the workshop which will be open to anyone (with a further round of reviewing).

Abstract submission:  	  	       12 February 2017
Paper submission:			19 February 2017
Notification:				8 March 2017
ETAPS early-registration deadline:	12 March 2017
PLACES workshop:			29 April 2017

Submission deadlines are "anywhere on Earth".

at Rice University
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Rice University's Department of Computer Science is looking to hire a
postdoctoral researcher for a project at the interface of formal
methods and statistical machine learning. More precisely, our goal is
to build methods for program analysis and synthesis that are guided by
knowledge automatically learned from large datasets of programs and
related artifacts (such as tests and documentation). Ideal applicants
will have a background in formal methods and/or programming
languages, interest (but not necessarily a background) in machine
learning, and experience with building systems of significant size.

The postdoc will work with Professors Swarat Chaudhuri and Chris
Jermaine. The duration of the position is two years, starting May 2017.
Compensation will be highly competitive and commensurate with experience.

To apply, send a CV and names of 3 references to Swarat Chaudhuri
(swarat at rice.edu).

Control and analysis of the timing of computations is crucial to many domains of system engineering, be it, e.g., for ensuring timely response to stimuli originating in an uncooperative environment, or for synchronising components in VLSI. Reflecting this broad scope, timing aspects of systems from a variety of domains have been treated independently by different communities in computer science and control. Researchers interested in semantics, verification and performance analysis study models such as timed automata and timed Petri nets, the digital design community focuses on propagation and switching delays, while designers of embedded controllers have to take account of the time taken by controllers to compute their responses after sampling the environment, as well as of the dynamics of the controlled process during this span. 

Timing-related questions in these separate disciplines do have their particularities. However, there is a growing awareness that there are basic problems (of both scientific and engineering level) that are common to all of them. In particular, all these sub-disciplines treat systems whose behaviour depends upon combinations of logical and temporal constraints; namely, constraints on the temporal distances between occurrences of successive events. Often, these constraints cannot be separated, as the intrinsic dynamics of processes couples them, necessitating models, methods, and tools facilitating their combined analysis. Reflecting this, FORMATS'17 promotes submissions on hybrid discrete-continuous systems, and will promote a special session on this topic. 


------------------ 
Topics 
------------------ 

The aim of FORMATS is to promote the study of fundamental and practical aspects of timed systems, and to bring together researchers from different disciplines that share interests in modelling and analysis of timed systems and, as a generalisation, of hybrid systems. Typical topics include (but are not limited to): 

* Foundations and Semantics : 

Theoretical foundations of timed systems and languages; new models and logics or analysis and comparison of existing models (like automata, Petri nets, max-plus models, network calculus, or process algebras involving quantitative time; hybrid automata; probabilistic automata and logics). 

* Methods and Tools : 

Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and software tools for analysing or synthesising timed or hybrid systems and for resolving temporal constraints (scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis, optimisation, model checking, testing, constraint solving, etc.) 

* Applications : 

Adaptation and specialisation of timing technology in application domains in which timing plays an important role (real-time software, embedded control, hardware circuits, and problems of scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunications). 


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

FORMATS'17 solicits high-quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports related to the topics mentioned above. Submitted papers must contain original, unpublished contributions, not submitted for publication elsewhere. The papers should be submitted electronically in PDF, following the Springer LNCS style guidelines. Submissions should not exceed 15 pages in length (not including the bibliography which is thus not restricted), but may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. 

Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. 

Papers are to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair online submission system, to be made available from the conference webpage. 

As traditional, publication of the proceedings of FORMATS'17 will be hosted by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

====================================================================
International Schools on Rewriting are promoted
by the IFIP Working Group 1.6 Term Rewriting.

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.
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.) Rewriting techniques play a relevant
role in computing research, education, and industry.

Transformation (VPT 2017) aims to bring together researchers
working in the areas of Program Verification and Program
Transformation.

The workshop solicits research, position, application, and system
description papers with a special emphasis on case studies, demonstrating
viability of the interactions between the research fields of program
transformation and program verification in a broad sense. Also papers
in related areas, such as program testing and program synthesis are
welcomed.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Verification by Program Transformation
* Verification Techniques in Program Transformation and Synthesis
* Verification and Certification of Programs Transformations
* Program Analysis and Transformation
* Program Testing and Transformation
* Verifiable Computing and Program Transformation
* Case studies


*Important Dates*

* February 10th, 2017: Abstract submission deadline
* February 16th, 2017: Paper submission deadline
* March 8th, 2017: Acceptance notification
* March 31st, 2017: Camera ready version (for the pre-proceedings)
* April 29th, 2017: Workshop


*Submission Guidelines*

Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper in PDF, formatted in
the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science LaTeX Style
(http://style.eptcs.org/),
via the Easychair submission website for VPT 2017:

 https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vpt2017

Papers must describe original work that has not been published,
or currently submitted, to a journal, conference, or workshop
with refereed proceedings. Also papers that already appeared in
unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be
submitted.

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 that 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 should not 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.


*Proceedings*

Revised versions of all the accepted papers, taking into account the
feedback received at the workshop, will be published in a volume of
the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer (EPTCS) series
after the workshop.

If the workshop will attract sufficiently many high quality papers,
a special issue of a journal on the topic of the workshop will be
considered. The special issue will be open to high quality papers
accepted for presentation in previous editions of the workshop.

### Updates for Second Call for Papers

This revision, published January 31, 2017, includes the following updates:
 
  * A link to the list of frequently asked questions about the
    double-blind review process.

  * A new requirement for citations in author-year format. This follows
    a decision for PACMPL that was made after the original version of
    this call was distributed. As such, author-year format will be
    required for final (accepted) versions of papers in ICFP 2017, but
    not for submissions.

  * Additional guidance for authors using LaTeX.

  * A clarification about the expectations for author attendance in the
    event of visa-related problems.

### New this year

Those familiar with previous ICFP conferences should be aware of two
significant changes that are being introduced in 2017:

1. Papers selected for ICFP 2017 will be published as the ICFP 2017
issue of a new journal, Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages
(PACMPL), which replaces the previous ICFP conference proceedings. The
move to PACMPL will have two noticeable impacts on authors:

    * A new, two-phase selection and reviewing process that conforms to
      ACM?s journal reviewing guidelines.

    * A new, single-column format for submissions.

2. Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase
of the reviewing process will have the option to submit materials for
Artifact Evaluation.

Further details on each of these changes are included in the following
text.

### Scope

ICFP 2017 seeks original papers on the art and science of functional
programming. Submissions are invited on all topics from principles to
practice, from foundations to features, and from abstraction to
application. The scope includes all languages that encourage functional
programming, including both purely applicative and imperative languages,
as well as languages with objects, concurrency, or parallelism. Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):

  * *Language Design*: concurrency, parallelism, and distribution;
    modules; components and composition; metaprogramming; type systems;
    interoperability; domain-specific languages; and relations to
    imperative, object-oriented, or logic programming.

  * *Implementation*: abstract machines; virtual machines;
    interpretation; compilation; compile-time and run-time optimization;
    garbage collection and memory management; multi-threading;
    exploiting parallel hardware; interfaces to foreign functions,
    services, components, or low-level machine resources.

  * *Software-Development Techniques*: algorithms and data structures;
    design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof
    assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling.

  * *Foundations*: formal semantics; lambda calculus; rewriting; type
    theory; monads; continuations; control; state; effects; program
    verification; dependent types.

  * *Analysis and Transformation*: control-flow; data-flow; abstract
    interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation.

  * *Applications*: symbolic computing; formal-methods tools; artificial
    intelligence; systems programming; distributed-systems and web
    programming; hardware design; databases; XML processing; scientific
    and numerical computing; graphical user interfaces; multimedia and
    3D graphics programming; scripting; system administration; security.

  * *Education*: teaching introductory programming; parallel
    programming; mathematical proof; algebra.

Submissions will be evaluated according to their relevance, correctness,
significance, originality, and clarity. Each submission 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.

ICFP 2017 also welcomes submissions in two separate categories ---
Functional Pearls and Experience Reports --- that must be marked as
such at the time of submission and that need not report original
research results.  Detailed guidelines on both categories are given at
the end of this call.

Please contact the program chair if you have questions or are concerned
about the appropriateness of a topic.

### Preparation of submissions

ICFP 2017 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process, as
described below.

**Deadline**: The deadline for submissions is Monday, February 27, 2017,
Anywhere on Earth (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>).
This deadline will be strictly enforced.

**Formatting**: (NOTE: NEW FORMAT REQUIREMENTS FOR ICFP 2017)
Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black and white on US
Letter sized paper, and interpretable by common PDF tools. All
submissions must adhere to the "ACM Large" template that is available
(in both LaTeX and Word formats) from
<http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>.

For authors using LaTeX, a lighter-weight package, including only the
essential files, is available from
<http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format>; the appropriate
template for ICFP 2017 authors is in the file
`acmart-pacmpl-template.tex`.  As documented in the template,
submissions should be prepared using the `acmlarge` and `anonymous`
options.  The use of the `review` option is also strongly encouraged but
not required.  (The `review` option will add line numbers, which will
make it easier for reviewers to reference specific parts of your paper
in their comments, but should have absolutely no other effect on the
typesetting.) Details of available technical support for LaTeX-specific
questions is available at
<http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template#h-technical-support>.

There is a limit of 24 pages for a full paper or 12 pages for an
Experience Report; in either case, the bibliography will not be counted
against these limits. These page limits have been chosen to allow
essentially the same amount of content with the new single-column format
as was possible with the two-column format used in past ICFP
conferences. Submissions that exceed the page limits or, for other
reasons, do not meet the requirements for formatting, will be summarily
rejected.

**Citations**: As part of PACMPL, ICFP 2017 papers are expected to use
author-year citations for references to other work. Author-year
citations may be used as either a noun phrase, such as "The lambda
calculus was originally conceived by Church (1932)", or a parenthetic
phase, such as "The lambda calculus (Church 1932) was intended as a
foundation for mathematics". A useful test for correct usage it to make
sure that the text still reads correctly when the parenthesized portions
of any references are omitted. Take care with prepositions; in the first
example above, "by" is more appropriate than "in" because it allows the
text to be read correctly as a reference to the author. Sometimes,
readability may be improved by putting parenthetic citations at the end
of a clause or a sentence, such as "A foundation for mathematics was
provided by the lambda calculus (Church 1932)". In LaTeX, use
`\citet{Church-1932}` for citations as a noun phrase, "Church (1932)",
and `\citep{Church-1932}` for citations as a parenthetic phrase,
"(Church 1932)"; for details, see Sections 2.3--2.5 of the natbib
documentation (<http://ctan.org/pkg/natbib>).

**Submission**: Submissions will be accepted at
<https://icfp17.hotcrp.com/> (in preparation at the time of writing).

Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the
submission deadline using the same web interface.

**Author Response Period**: Authors will have a 72-hour period, starting
at 15:00 UTC on Monday, April 17, 2017, to read reviews and respond to
them.

**Supplementary Materials**: Authors have the option to attach
supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that
reviewers may choose not to look at it. The material should be uploaded
at submission time, as a single pdf or a tarball, not via a URL. This
supplementary material may or may not be anonymized; if not anonymized,
it will only be revealed to reviewers after they have submitted their
review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s).

**Authorship Policies**: All submissions are expected to comply with the
ACM Policies for Authorship that are detailed at
<https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors>.

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

**Resubmitted Papers**: Authors who submit a revised version of a paper
that has previously been rejected by another conference 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.

### Review Process

This section outlines the two-stage process with lightweight
double-blind reviewing that will be used to select papers for
presentation at ICFP 2017. A [list of frequently asked questions and
answers](http://icfp17.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2017-papers#Submission-and-Reviewing-FAQ)
that address common concerns is available on the conference website and
will be updated as necessary to clarify and expand on this process.

**ICFP 2017 will employ a two-stage review process.**  The first stage
in the review process will assess submitted papers using the criteria
stated above and will allow for feedback and input on initial reviews
through the author response period mentioned previously. At the PC
meeting, a set of papers will be conditionally accepted and all other
papers will be rejected.  Authors will be notified of these decisions on
May 1, 2017.

Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with committee
reviews (just as in previous conferences) along with a set of mandatory
revisions. After five weeks (June 5, 2017), the authors will provide a
second submission. The second and final reviewing phase assesses whether
the mandatory revisions have been adequately addressed by the authors
and thereby determines the final accept/reject status of the paper. The
intent and expectation is that the mandatory revisions can be addressed
within five weeks and hence that conditionally accepted papers will in
general be accepted in the second phase.

The second submission should clearly identify how the mandatory
revisions were addressed. To that end, the second submission must be
accompanied by a cover letter mapping each mandatory revision request to
specific parts of the paper. The cover letter will facilitate a quick
second review, allowing for confirmation of final acceptance within two
weeks. Conversely, the absence of a cover letter will be grounds for the
paper?s rejection.

This process is intended as a refinement of the review process that has
been used in previous ICFP conferences. By incorporating a second stage,
the process will conform to ACM?s journal reviewing guidelines for
PACMPL.

**ICFP 2017 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.

### Information for Authors of Accepted Papers

* As a condition of acceptance, final versions of all papers must adhere
  to the new ACM Large format. The page limits for final versions of
  papers will be increased to ensure that authors have space to respond
  to reviewer comments and mandatory revisions.

* Authors of accepted submissions will be required to agree to one of
  the three ACM licensing options: copyright transfer to ACM; retaining
  copyright but granting ACM exclusive publication rights; or open
  access on payment of a fee.  Further information about ACM author
  rights is available from <http://authors.acm.org>.

* At least one author of each accepted submission will be expected to
  attend and present their paper at the conference. (ICFP welcomes all
  authors, regardless of nationality. If any author of an accepted
  submission has visa-related difficulties in travelling to the
  conference, we will make arrangements to enable remote participation,
  and not require them to attend the conference in order to present
  their talk.) The schedule for presentations will be determined and
  shared with authors after the full program has been selected.
  Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the presenter
  consents.

* We intend that the proceedings will be freely available for download
  from the ACM Digital Library in perpetuity via the OpenTOC mechanism.

* ACM Author-Izer is a unique service that enables ACM authors to
  generate and post links on either their home page or institutional
  repository for visitors to download the definitive version of their
  articles from the ACM Digital Library at no charge. Downloads through
  Author-Izer links are captured in official ACM statistics, improving
  the accuracy of usage and impact measurements. Consistently linking to
  the definitive version of an ACM article should reduce user confusion
  over article versioning. After an article has been published and
  assigned to the appropriate ACM Author Profile pages, authors should
  visit <http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service> to
  learn how to create links for free downloads from the ACM DL.

* **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.**

### Artifact Evaluation

Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase of
the review process will be encouraged (but not required) to submit
supporting materials for Artifact Evaluation. These items will then be
reviewed by a committee, separate from the program committee, whose task
is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the
associated paper. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process
successfully will receive a seal of approval printed on the papers
themselves. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to make the
supporting materials publicly available upon publication of the
proceedings, for example, by including them as "source materials" in the
ACM Digital Library.  An additional seal will mark papers whose
artifacts are made available, as outlined in the ACM guidelines for
artifact badging.

Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary and will not influence
the final decision regarding paper acceptance.

Further information about the motivations and expectations for Artifact
Evaluation can be found at
<http://icfp17.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2017-Artifacts>.

### Special categories of papers

In addition to research papers, ICFP solicits two kinds of papers that
do not require original research contributions: Functional Pearls, which
are full papers, and Experience Reports, which are limited to half the
length of a full paper. Authors submitting such papers should consider
the following guidelines.

#### Functional Pearls

A Functional Pearl is an elegant essay about something related to
functional programming. Examples include, but are not limited to:

  * a new and thought-provoking way of looking at an old idea

  * an instructive example of program calculation or proof

  * a nifty presentation of an old or new data structure

  * an interesting application of functional programming techniques

  * a novel use or exposition of functional programming in the classroom

While pearls often demonstrate an idea through the development of a
short program, there is no requirement or expectation that they do so.
Thus, they encompass the notions of theoretical and educational pearls.

Functional Pearls are valued as highly and judged as rigorously as
ordinary papers, but using somewhat different criteria. In particular, a
pearl is not required to report original research, but, it should be
concise, instructive, and entertaining. A pearl is likely to be rejected
if its readers get bored, if the material gets too complicated, if too
much specialized knowledge is needed, or if the writing is inelegant.
The key to writing a good pearl is polishing.

A submission that is intended to be treated as a pearl must be marked as
such on the submission web page, and should contain the words
"Functional Pearl" somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps will
alert reviewers to use the appropriate evaluation criteria. Pearls will
be combined with ordinary papers, however, for the purpose of computing
the conference's acceptance rate.

#### Experience Reports

The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of
published, refereed, citable evidence that functional programming really
works --- or to describe what obstacles prevent it from working.

Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited
to:

  * insights gained from real-world projects using functional
    programming

  * comparison of functional programming with conventional programming
    in the context of an industrial project or a university curriculum

  * project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when using
    functional programming in a real-world project

  * curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in
    education

  * real-world constraints that created special challenges for an
    implementation of a functional language or for functional
    programming in general

An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal ICFP paper by its
title, by its length, and by the criteria used to evaluate it.

  * Both in the proceedings and in any citations, the title of each
    accepted Experience Report must begin with the words "Experience
    Report" followed by a colon. The acceptance rate for Experience
    Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for
    ordinary papers.

  * Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long,
    excluding bibliography.

  * Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the conference,
    but depending on the number of Experience Reports and regular papers
    accepted, authors of Experience reports may be asked to give shorter
    talks.

  * Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our community
    to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional
    programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the
    body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by
    presenting novel results or conclusions. It is sufficient if the
    Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting evidence. The
    thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel.

The program committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on
whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence
will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains
what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as possible.
Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers which show
how functional programming was used than from papers which only say that
functional programming was used. The most convincing evidence often
includes comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or
discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from a single
person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given to
evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people.

An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a
claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular
project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If
functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has
worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results --- the
main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in what
context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of the
project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize the
project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to what
degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper
should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project.
Specifics about the project are more valuable than generalities about
functional programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the
team delivered its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say
that functional programming made the team more productive.

If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new
technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the
functional-programming community, it may be better off submitted it as a
full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty,
originality, and relevance. The program chair will be happy to advise on
any concerns about which category to submit to.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Post Doc in weak memory at the University of Kent
Message-ID: <8AD8E5DB-FC08-47ED-AFD1-8E6DA6377C15@kent.ac.uk>

Hi all,

I?m looking to hire a post doc to work in the general area of weak memory models. The post is funded for 18 months at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England. To apply, see the formal job advertisement here: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AWW579/research-associate/.

This post is part of the EPSRC-funded project, "Verifying concurrent algorithms on weak memory models."

The goal of the project is to advance the understanding of weak memory ? as found in multi-core hardware of POWER, ARM, and x86 architectures ? to support reasoning formally about the implementations of concurrent algorithms.

The successful candidate will work closely with the project?s PI, Dr Scott Owens, and will have significant input into the direction of the project. They will also have the opportunity to work with project partners in Prof. John Derrick?s group at the University of Sheffield, and locally with Dr Mark Batty at the University of Kent.

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

The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a forum in which PhD
students can present their work in progress. The symposium supports
students by providing independent and constructive feedback about
their already completed and, more importantly, planned research
work. The symposium will be accompanied by prominent experts who will
actively participate in critical discussions.

Relevant fields within Software Engineering include (but are not
limited to):

* Models: reasoning, execution, management, testing and validation
* Model transformations: paradigms, algorithms, development, 
  applications, tools
* Graph transformation and graph theories
* Domain Specific Languages
* Proofs and Testing: verification, debugging, experiments, case studies
* Model-Driven Engineering

Any topic of interest for the conferences that will take place within
STAF 2017 is highly welcomed.

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

Submission Process

Submissions exclusively authored by the PhD student are invited from
students who have settled on a PhD topic. We do accept papers on both
initial stage (first or second year) and mature stage (third year, or
later) of research. The authors shall clearly indicate their stage of
research maturity in a footnote to be added to the paper title.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 experts based on
originality, significance, correctness and clarity. Submissions should
describe research-in-progress that is meant to lead to a PhD
dissertation, using the following structure:

* Problem: The problem the research intends to solve, the target
  audience of this research, and a motivation of why the problem is
  important and needs to be solved.

* Related work: A review of the relevant related work with an emphasis
  of how the proposed approach is different and what advantages it has
  over the existing state of the art.

* Proposed solution: A description of the proposed solution and which
  other work (e.g., in the form of methods or tools) it depends on.

* Preliminary work: A description of the work to-date and results
  achieved so far.

* Expected contributions: A list of the expected contributions to both
  theory and practice.

* Plan for evaluation and validation: A description of how it will be
  shown that the work does indeed solve the targeted problem and is
  superior to the existing state of the art (e.g., prototyping,
  industry case studies, user studies, experiments).

* Current status: The current status of the work and a planned
  timeline for completion.

Contributions must not exceed 5 pages in Springer LNCS format and must
be submitted via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=staf2017workshops, choose
"STAF 2017 Doctoral Symposium" as track).

All accepted submissions to the Doctoral Symposium at STAF 2017 will
be published in a post-conference volume of CEUR and will be submitted
for inclusion in DBLP.

Workshop DaL? ? Dynamic Logic: new trends and applications Bras?lia,
			24 September, 2017 (co-located with FROCOS
			TABLEAUX and ITP 2017)
			workshop.dali.di.uminho.pt


Building on the pioneer intuitions of Floyd-Hoare logic, Dynamic Logic
was intro- duced in the 70?s by Pratt as a suitable logic to reason
about, and verify, classic imperative programs. Since then, the
original intuitions grew to an entire family of logics, which became
increasingly popular for assertional reasoning about a wide range of
computational systems. Simultaneously, their object (i.e. the very
notion of a program) evolved in unexpected ways. This leads to dynamic
logics tailored to specific programming paradigms and extended to new
computing domains, including probabilistic, continuous and quantum
computation.  Both its theoretical relevance and practical potential
make Dynamic Logic a topic of interest in a number of scientific
venues, from wide-scope software engineering conferences to modal
logic specific events. However, no specific event is exclusively
dedicated to it. This workshop aims at filling fill such a gap,
joining an heteroge- neous community of colleagues, from Academia to
Industry, from Mathematics to Computer Science. forum for
disseminating and sharing new trends and applications of Dynamic
Logic.  The event is promoted by the project DaL? - Dynamic logics for
cyber-physical systems: towards contract based design
(POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016692), a R&D project supported by the Portuguese
Foundation for Science and Technology (http: //dali.di.uminho.pt).

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Postdoc position at IT University of Copenhagen
Message-ID: <5D1CCCC4-F685-46C3-A089-F806934ED0AF@itu.dk>

Dear all,

I would like to advertise a 2-year postdoc position available at the IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The suggested starting date is August 2017, but this is negotiable. The position is part of my research project Type Theories for Reactive Programming funded by Villum Fonden, and running for 5 years involving 2 PhDs and 2 postdoc positions in total. I include a short description of the goals of the project below.

Applicants should have experience with category theory and denotational semantics. Knowledge of models of (dependent) type theory or functional reactive programming is an advantage, but is not required.

The deadline for application is February 28. Further information on the position and how to apply can be found here:
http://bit.ly/2kl7zRy

I encourage all interested in applying to contact me in advance.

Rasmus M?gelberg

Project description

Type theories are formal systems that can be viewed both as programming languages and logical systems for formalised mathematics. From a computer science perspective, this is useful because it allows for programs, their specifications, and the proofs that these satisfy the specification to be expressed in the same formalism.

The logical interpretation of type theories means that all programs must terminate. For this reason, programming and reasoning about non-terminating reactive programs in type theory remains a challenge. This is unfortunate since these include many of the most critical programs in use today.  In this project, we aim to design a new type theory useful for programming with and reasoning about reactive programs.
We build on recent progress in guarded recursion and functional reactive programming, using modalities to capture productivity in types.

The project also involves the development of Guarded Cubical Type Theory, an extension of Cubical Type Theory with guarded recursive types. These can be used for smooth programming with coinductive types and construction of models of advanced programming languages. This part of the project is a collaboration with professor Lars Birkedal at Aarhus University.

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 18 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 through easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sas2017 

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. 

IMPORTANT DATES 
- Abstract submission: April 14, 2017 (anywhere on earth) 
- Full paper submission: April 20, 2017 (anywhere on earth)

CALL FOR PAPERS 

SNR 2017 -- DEADLINE EXTENSION UNTIL FEBRUARY 17 
======== 

3rd International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods for 
Reachability Analysis 

April 22, 2017, Uppsala, Sweden 
Affiliated with ETAPS 2017 

http://snr2017.pages.ist.ac.at/ 

Important Dates 
=============== 

Paper submission: February 17, 2017 
Notification: March 10, 2017 
Final version: March 24, 2017 
Workshop date: April 22, 2017 

Scope 
===== 

Hybrid systems are complex dynamical systems that combine discrete and 
continuous components. Reachability questions, regarding whether a 
system can run into a certain subset of its state space, stand at the 
core of verification and synthesis problems for hybrid systems. 

There are several successful methods for hybrid systems reachability 
analysis. Some methods explicitly construct flow-pipes that 
over-approximate the set of reachable states over time, where efficient 
computation of such over-approximations requires symbolic 
representations such as support functions. Other methods based on 
satisfiability checking technologies, symbolically encode reachability 
properties as logical formulas, while solving such formulas requires 
numerically-driven decision procedures. Last but not least, also 
automated deduction and the usage of theorem provers led to efficient 
analysis approaches. The goal of this workshop is to bring together 
researchers working with different reachability analysis techniques 
and to seek for synergies between the different approaches. 

The SNR workshop solicits papers broadly in the area of analysis and 
synthesis of continuous and hybrid systems. The scope of the workshop 
includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics with 
application to continuous and hybrid systems: 

- Reachability analysis 
- Flow-pipe construction; symbolic state set representations 
- Logical frameworks for reasoning 
- Bounded model checking 
- Automated deduction 
- Invariant generation 
- Symbolic execution 
- Trajectory generation; counterexample computation 
- Abstraction techniques 
- Reliable integration 
- Simulation 
- Reachability analysis for planning and synthesis 
- Domain-specific approaches in biology, robotics, etc. 
- Stochastic/probabilistic hybrid systems 

Submission Information 
====================== 

The workshop solicits 

- long research papers (not exceeding 15 pages excluding references), 
- short research papers (not exceeding 6 pages excluding references) and 
- work-in-progress papers (not exceeding 6 pages excluding references). 

Research papers must present original unpublished work which is not 
submitted elsewhere. In order to foster the exchange of ideas, we also 
encourage work-in-progress papers, which present recent or on-going 
work. 

The papers should be written in English and formatted according to the 
EPTCS guidelines (http://style.eptcs.org/). 

Papers can be submitted using the EasyChair system: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=snr2017

                           CONFERENCE GOALS

Modern information systems rely  increasingly on combining concurrent,
distributed,   mobile,  adaptive,   reconfigurable  and   heterogenous
components.  New  models,  architectures, languages  and  verification
techniques are  necessary to cope  with the complexity induced  by the
demands of  today's software development. Coordination  languages have
emerged as  a successful approach,  in that they  provide abstractions
that   cleanly  separate   behaviour  from   communication,  therefore
increasing modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing
software development.

Building  on the  success of  the previous  editions, this  conference
provides  a  well-established  forum  for  the  growing  community  of
researchers  interested  in   models,  languages,  architectures,  and
implementation techniques for coordination.

Topics   of   interest   encompass    all   areas   of   coordination,
including (but not limited to) coordination related aspects of:

* Theoretical  models  and  foundations  for  coordination:  component
  composition,   concurrency,    mobility,   dynamic,    spatial   and
  probabilistic  aspects of  coordination, emergent  behaviour, types,
  semantics;
* Specification, refinement,  and analysis of  architectures: patterns
  and   styles,   verification   of  functional   and   non-functional
  properties, including performance aspects;
* Coordination,  architectural,  and interface  definition  languages:
  implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity;
* Middlewares and coordination;
* Dynamic   software    architectures:   distributed    mobile   code,
  configuration,   reconfiguration,  networked   computing,  parallel,
  high-performance and cloud computing;
* Nature- and bio-inspired approaches to coordination;
* Coordination   of  multiagent   and   collective  systems:   models,
  languages,   infrastructures,  self-adaptation,   self-organisation,
  distributed solving, collective intelligence and emerging behaviour;
* Coordination  and   modern  distributed  computing:   Web  services,
  peer-to-peer networks, grid computing, context-awareness, ubiquitous
  computing, mobile computing;
* Programming languages,  middleware, tools, and environments  for the
  development of coordinated applications;
* Programming   methodologies   and    verification   of   coordinated
  applications;
* Industrial  relevance of  coordination  and software  architectures:
  programming in the large, domain-specific software architectures and
  coordination models, case studies;
* Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination.




                             PROCEEDINGS

The  conference proceedings  will  be published  by  Springer, in  the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Extended versions of  a selection of the best papers  is planned to be
published  in  a special  issue  of  an  international journal  as  in
previous issues of COORDINATION.

   been previously published, nor be under consideration for
   publication elsewhere. Regular paper submission must not exceed 12
   pages (excluding the bibliography), additional technical material,
   proofs etc. can be provided in a clearly marked appendix which will
   be read by reviewers at their discretion. Regular papers will be
   reviewed by the PC.

2. Presentation reports concern recent or ongoing work on relevant
   topics and ideas, for timely discussion and feedback at the
   workshop. There is no restriction as for previous/future
   publication of the contents of a presentation. Typically, a
   presentation is based on a paper which recently appeared (or which
   is going to appear) in the proceedings of another recognized
   conference, or which has not yet been submitted. The (extended)
   abstract of presentation submissions should not exceed 4
   pages. Presentation reports will be selected by the PC Chairs (based
   on the availability of presentation time).

All submissions must be in PDF format and use the EPTCS LaTeX style,
see http://style.eptcs.org/. Submissions can be made on the following
website:

    http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qapl17

The workshop PC will review all regular paper submissions based on
their relevance, merit, originality, and technical content.
Presentation reports will receive a lightweight review to establish
their relevance for the workshop. The authors of accepted submissions
of both types are expected to present and discuss their work at the
workshop. Accepted regular papers will be published electronically in
the pre-proceedings available during the workshop and after the
workshop in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(EPTCS) as post-proceedings. Short papers will not be included in the
EPTCS post-proceedings.

CALL FOR PAPERS

12th Workshop on Logical and Semantic Frameworks, with Applications
     	      	 23-24 September 2017, Bras?lia, Brazil
           Satellite event of TABLEAUX, FroCoS, and ITP 2017

                      http://lsfa2017.cic.unb.br/

Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent logics,  languages and systems. These frameworks provide foundations for the formal specification of systems and programming languages, supporting tool development and reasoning. 

LSFA 2017 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 2017 will be a satellite event of TABLEAUX, FroCoS, and ITP -- to be held in Bras?lia, Brazil, between 25 and 29 September 2017.
Previous editions took place in Porto (2016), Natal (2015), Bras?lia (2014), Sao Paulo (2013), Rio de Janeiro (2012), Belo Horizonte (2011), Natal (2010), Bras?lia (2009), Salvador (2008), Ouro Preto (2007), and Natal (2006).

Subject: [TYPES/announce] 7th Halmstad Summer School on Testing (June 12 -
	June 15): Call for Participation
Message-ID: <CANNPCKZnr2POfxDb_8x2OMafME1pHF_28t8D+XArGHe2Hoa1tw@mail.gmail.com>

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

The 7th Halmstad Summer School on Testing

Halmstad University, Sweden

(Organised in cooperation with the TOCSYC Network)

June 12 - June 15, 2017

http://ceres.hh.se/mediawiki/HSST_2017

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


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 7th 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
========

Georgios Fainekos (Arizona State University, USA), Specification guided
testing and verification for Cyber-Physical Systems.

Marie-Claude Gaudel (Universit? de Paris-Sud, France), Testing from Formal
Specifications: A Unifying Framework.

Alex Groce (Northern Arizona University, USA), TSTL: a Little (Integrated)
Language for Testing.

Justyna Petke (University College London, UK), Combinatorial Interaction
Testing.

Franz Wotawa (Graz University of Technology, Austria), Automated debugging
? the past, the now, and the future.

Andreas Zeller (Saarland University, Germany), Fuzzing with Inferred
Grammars.


Registration
==========

The registration deadline is April 15, 2017.

To apply to the summer school, please fill in the form at:
http://bit.ly/HSST_2017 .
If you have any dietary requirements, or
would like to attend only certain days of the summer school, please
indicate in the form .

The registration fee is 3100 SEK (approx. 325 EUR) and covers lunches,
coffee breaks, and the study material, but
it does not include the social event and the social dinner.

A ticket to the social event and the social dinner costs 550 SEK and can be
requested upon registration.

Ph.D. Symposium
===============

The deadline for Ph.D. abstract submission is May 15, 2017.

We have 8 time slots for Ph.D. presentations, where each student gets
to present her/his research project (and possibly results) and receive
feedback from our experts.
We solicit abstracts of 2 pages, solely authored by a Ph.D. student, in the
EasyChair Style in order to make a selection (see:
http://www.easychair.org/publications/for_authors ).
The abstract should contain a clear overview of the problem description,
approach, (existing results, if any,) and future milestone.

Abstract submissions can already be made  via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hsst2017 .


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 about an hour, 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 Bromma
Airport.

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 toHalmstad.

More travel information can be found at the school page:

NEW
* Submissions can be either a paper or a talk abstract.
* Extended submission deadline: 31 March 2017

OVERVIEW
Affiliated with the Thirty-Second Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic
in Computer Science (LICS) 20-23 June 2017, Reykjavik, Iceland.

We are holding the first Women in Logic (WiL) workshop as a LICS
associated workshop this year. The workshop intends to follow the
pattern of meetings such as Women in Machine Learning (WiML,
http://wimlworkshop.org/) or Women in Engineering (WIE,
(http://www.ieee-ras.org/membership/women-in-engineering) that have
been taking place for quite a few years.

Women are chronically underrepresented in the LICS community;
consequently they sometimes feel both conspicuous and isolated, and
hence there is a risk that the under-representation is
self-perpetuating.

The workshop will provide an opportunity for women in the field to
increase awareness of one another and one another's work, to combat
the feeling of isolation. It will also provide an environment where
women can present to an audience comprised of mostly women,
replicating the experience that most men have at most LICS meetings;
we hope that this will be particularly attractive to early-career
women.

Topics of interest of this workshop include but are not limited to the
usual Logic in Computer Science (LICS) topics. These are listed as
automata theory, automated deduction, categorical models and logics,
concurrency and distributed computation, constraint programming,
constructive mathematics, database theory, decision procedures,
description logics, domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects
of program analysis, formal methods, foundations of computability,
higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi, linear logic,
logic in artificial intelligence, logic programming, logical aspects
of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational complexity,
logical aspects of quantum computation, logical frameworks, logics of
programs, modal and temporal logics, model checking, probabilistic
systems, process calculi, programming language semantics, proof
theory, real-time systems, reasoning about security and privacy,
rewriting, type systems and type theory, and verification.

SUBMISSIONS
Contributions should be written in English and can be submitted in the
form of full papers (with a maximum of 10 pages), short papers (with a
maximum of 5 pages), or talk abstracts (1 page).
  
Papers and abstracts should be prepared in latex using the LICS style
(IEEE Proceedings 2-column 10pt). LaTeX style files are available at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/.
Please use IEEEtran.cls version V1.8b, released on 26/08/2015.

The submission should be in the form of a PDF file uploaded to the WiL
2017 Easychair page (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wil2017)
before the submission deadline of 31 March 2017, anywhere on Earth.

PROCEEDINGS
We plan to publish a post conference volume at ENTCS or other equally
visible outlet.

  COORDINATION 2017

  19th IFIP International Conference on
  Coordination Models and Languages

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

* Scope *

Modern information systems rely increasingly on combining concurrent,
distributed, mobile, adaptive, reconfigurable and heterogeneous
components. New models, architectures, languages and verification
techniques are necessary to cope with the complexity induced by the
demands of today's software development. Coordination languages have
emerged as a successful approach, in that they provide abstractions that
cleanly separate behaviour from communication, therefore increasing
modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software
development.

Building on the success of the previous editions, this conference
provides a well-established forum for the growing community of
researchers interested in models, languages, architectures, and
implementation techniques for coordination.

Topics of interest encompass all areas of coordination, including (but
not limited to) coordination related aspects of:
- Theoretical models and foundations for coordination: component
  composition, concurrency, mobility, dynamic, spatial and probabilistic
  aspects of coordination, emergent behaviour, types, semantics;
- Specification, refinement, and analysis of architectures: patterns and
  styles, verification of functional and non-functional properties,
  including performance aspects;
- Coordination, architectural, and interface definition languages:
  implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity;
- Middlewares and coordination;
- Dynamic software architectures: distributed mobile code,
  configuration, reconfiguration, networked computing, parallel,
  high-performance and cloud computing;
- Nature- and bio-inspired approaches to coordination;
- Coordination of multiagent and collective systems: models, languages,
  infrastructures, self-adaptation, self-organisation, distributed
  solving, collective intelligence and emerging behaviour;
- Coordination and modern distributed computing: Web services,
  peer-to-peer networks, grid computing, context-awareness, ubiquitous
  computing, mobile computing;
- Programming languages, middleware, tools, and environments for the
  development of coordinated applications;
- Programming methodologies and verification of coordinated
  applications;
- Industrial relevance of coordination and software architectures:
  programming in the large, domain-specific software architectures and
  coordination models, case studies;
- Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination.

  Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems

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

* Scope *

The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed
applications, including their design, implementation and operation, the
supporting middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies
and tools, as well as experimental studies and practice reports. This
time we welcome particular contributions on architectures, models,
technologies and platforms for large scale and complex distributed
applications and services that are related to the latest trends towards
bridging the physical/virtual worlds based on flexible and versatile
service architectures and platforms. Submissions will be judged on their
originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and technical
correctness.

The topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited
to:
- Novel and innovative distributed applications and systems,
  particularly in areas of middleware, data store, cloud computing, edge
  and fog computing, big data systems, data center and internet-scale
  systems, social networking, cyber-physical systems, mobile computing,
  software-defined network (SDN), service-oriented computing, and
  peer-to-peer systems;

SPIN 2017

24th International Symposium on Model Checking of Software

Santa Barbara, CA, USA, July 13-14, 2017

http://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2017<http://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2017/>

Collocated with ISSTA


Paper Submission: Extended to February 17, 2017 (23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth)
________________________________

The SPIN symposium aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in automated tool-based techniques for the analysis of software as well as models of software, for the purpose of verification and validation. The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software, but does not exclude analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, empirical evaluation, and education.

History: The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit state model checking, specifically as related to the Spin model checker. However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly scoped symposium for software analysis using any automated techniques, including model checking, automated theorem proving, and symbolic execution.

An overview of the previous SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be found at: http://spinroot.com/spin/symposia.

SPIN 2017 will be organized as an ACM SIGSOFT event, collocated with the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA 2017): http://conf.researchr.org/home/issta-2017.


The RERS Verification Challenge

In addition there will be a one-day Rigorous Examination of Reactive Systems verification challenge Workshop (RERS 2017): http://www.rers-challenge.org/2017.

*Deadline for submissions: February 14, 2017*

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=stus2017


*ABOUT:*
The Student Session of the 29th European Summer School in Logic, 
Language, and Information (ESSLLI) will take place in Toulouse, France, 
July 17th to 28th, 2017 (https://www.irit.fr/esslli2017/). We invite 
submissions of original, unpublished work from students in any area at 
the intersection of Logic & Language, Language & Computation, or Logic & 
Computation. Submissions will be reviewed by several experts in the 
field, and accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters and 
selected papers will appear in the Student Session proceedings by 
Springer. This is an excellent opportunity to receive valuable feedback 
from expert readers and to present your work to a diverse audience.


*ORAL/POSTER PRESENTATIONS:*
Note that there are two separate kinds of submissions, one for oral 
presentations and one for posters. This means that papers are directly 
submitted either as oral presentations or as poster presentations. 
Reviewing and ranking will be done separately. We particularly encourage 
submissions for posters, as they offer an excellent opportunity to 
present smaller research projects and research in progress.


*SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:*
Authors must be students, and submissions may be singly or jointly 
authored. Each author may submit at most one single and one jointly 
authored contribution. Submissions should not be longer than 8 pages for 
an oral presentation or 4 pages for a poster presentation (including 
examples and references). Submissions must be anonymous, without any 
identifying information. More detailed guidelines regarding submission 
can be found on the Student Session website: 
http://www2.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/esslli-stus-2017/.


*SPONSORSHIP AND PRIZES*
As in previous years, Springer has kindly agreed to sponsor the ESSLLI 
student session. The best poster and best talk will be awarded Springer 
book vouchers of 500? each.



*FURTHER INFORMATION:*
Please direct inquiries about submission procedures or other matters 
relating to the Student Session to johannes.wahle at uni-tuebingen.de and 
karoliina.lohiniva at unige.ch.

ESSLLI 2017 will feature a wide range of foundational and advanced

9th International Conference on Reversible Computation (RC-2017)
July 6-7, 2017, Pride Plaza Hotel, Kolkata, India
http://www.reversible-computation.org

Research in reversible computation has drawn the attention of
researchers over the years.  Reversible computation has a growing number
of promising application areas such as low power design, testing and
verification, database recovery, discrete event simulation,
reversible specification formalisms, reversible programming languages,
process algebras, quantum computation, etc. Initial implementations of
reversible and quantum circuits have been reported recently and are seen
as promising alternatives to CMOS technology.

The 9th Conference on Reversible Computation will take place during July
6-7, 2017, in Kolkata, India and will be jointly organised by: (a)
Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, (b) Indian Institute of
Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), (c) University of Calcutta,
(d) Indian Statistical Institute Calcutta, and (e) Jadavpur University.

Bremen (2010), Gent (2011), Copenhagen (2012) and was upgraded to a
conference subsequently and held in Victoria (2013), Kyoto (2014),
Grenoble (2015), and Bologna (2016).

The conference will bring together researchers, academicians and
students from computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, and
physics to discuss new developments and directions for future research
in reversible computation. This particularly includes
applications of reversibility in quantum computation. Research papers,
tool demonstrations, work-in-progress reports and poster presentations
are within the scope of the conference. Invited talks by leading
international experts will complete the program. A summer school shall
be conducted on July 5, 2017 specifically targeting the beginners in
this area. The Conference Banquet dinner shall be organised on July 6th

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

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).

### Important Dates

Fri 2 Jun 2017 - Abstract Submission
Fri 9 Jun 2017 - Paper Submission
Fri 4 Aug 2017 - Author Notification
Thu 10 Aug 2017 - Artifact Submission

### Topics of Interest

SLE aims 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 in the domain
of language engineering. Topics relevant to SLE cover generic aspects of
software languages development rather than aspects of engineering a
specific language. In particular, SLE is interested in principled
engineering approaches and techniques in the following areas:

* Language Design and Implementation
   * Approaches and methodologies for language design
   * Static semantics (e.g., design rules, well-formedness constraints)
   * Techniques for behavioral / executable semantics
   * Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation)
   * Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches

* Language Validation
   * Verification and formal methods for languages
   * Testing techniques for languages
   * Simulation techniques for languages

* Language Integration and Composition
   * Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools
   * Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages)
   * Traceability between languages
   * Deployment of languages to different platforms

* Language Maintenance
   * Software language reuse
   * Language evolution
   * Language families and variability

* Domain-specific approaches for any aspects of SLE (design,
implementation, validation, maintenance)

* Empirical evaluation and experience reports of language engineering tools
   * User studies evaluating usability
   * Performance benchmarks
   * Industrial applications

### 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 12 pages including bibliography in
ACM SIGPLAN conference style (http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/).

* **Tool papers**: Because of SLE's 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. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool
demonstrations. Submissions must provide a tool description of 4 pages
including bibliography in ACM SIGPLAN conference style (
http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/), and a demonstration outline
including screenshots of up to 6 pages. Tool demonstrations must have the
keywords ?Tool Demo? or ?Tool Demonstration? in the title. The 4-page tool
description will, if the demonstration is accepted, be published in the
proceedings. The 6-page demonstration outline will be used by the program
committee only for evaluating the submission.

* **Industrial papers**: These should describe real-world application
scenarios of SLE in industry, explained in their context with an analysis
of the challenges that were overcome and the lessons which the audience can
learn from this experience. Industry paper submissions must not exceed 6
pages including bibliography in ACM SIGPLAN conference style (
http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/).

* **New ideas / vision papers**: New ideas papers should describe new,
non-conventional SLE research approaches that depart from standard
practice. They are intended to describe well-defined research ideas that
are at an early stage of investigation. Vision papers are intended to
present new unifying theories about existing SLE research that can lead to
the development of new technologies or approaches. New ideas / vision
papers must not exceed 4 pages including bibliography in ACM SIGPLAN
conference style (http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/).

### Artifact evaluation

Authors of accepted papers at SLE 2017 are encouraged to submit their
experiment results used for underpinning research statements to an artifact
evaluation process. This submission is voluntary and will not influence the
final decision regarding the papers.

Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully receive
a seal of approval printed on the first page of the paper in the
proceedings. Authors of papers with accepted artifacts are encouraged to
make these materials publicly available upon publication of the
proceedings, by including them as "source materials" in the ACM Digital
Library.

### Publications

All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the
program committee. All accepted papers, including tool papers, industrial
papers and new ideas / vision papers will be published in ACM Digital
Library.

Selected accepted papers will be invited to a special issue of the Computer
Languages, Systems and Structures (COMLAN) journal.

### Awards

* **Distinguished paper**: Award for most notable paper, as determined by
the PC chairs based on the recommendations of the program committee.

* **Distinguished reviewer**: Award for distinguished reviewer, as
determined by the PC chairs using feedback from the authors.

* **Distinguished artifact**: Award for the artifact most significantly
exceeding expectations, as determined by the AEC chairs based on the
recommendations of the artifact evaluation committee.

In cooperation with: ACM SIGSAC and SIGSOFT (pending)
New this year: co-Located with DIMVA.

* Context and motivation *
IT security is becoming an increasingly interdisciplinary subject.
For example, it is insufficient to simply deploy new security
measures but one must pay careful attention to correctly integrate
the security measures into existing software. Such an approach
involves redesigning and engineering of software to ensure that the
built-in security policy is effective in practice.
Many security venues put little focus on topics related to software
engineering, while many software-engineering venues lack appreciation
for more complex topics in software security. ESSoS thus strives to
be a venue that welcomes exactly such contributions that are at the
border of IT security and software engineering. The program committee
is particularly chosen to encompass a broad range of expertise,
ranging from software security over software engineering to human
subjects such as usable security.

* Goal and setup *
The goal of this symposium, which will be the ninth in the series, is
to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the state
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 including two
keynote presentations. In addition to academic papers, the symposium
encourages submission of high-quality, informative industrial
experience papers about successes and failures in secure software
engineering and the lessons learned. Furthermore, the symposium also
accepts short idea papers that crisply describe a promising
direction, approach, or insight.

* Topics *
The Symposium seeks submissions on subjects related to its goals.
This includes a diversity of topics 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 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
- Security testing
- Embedded software security
- Usable security

* Important dates *
Paper submission: Friday, February 24, 2017 (firm)
Paper acceptance notification: Tuesday, April 18, 2017
Artifact evaluation submission: Friday, April 21, 2017
Poster submission: Friday, April 21, 2017
Poster acceptance notification: Friday, April 28, 2017
Camera-ready: Friday, May 12, 2017
Symposium: Monday to Wednesday, July 3-5, 2017
(DIMVA is held July 6-7, following ESSoS)

* 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/computer/lncs, pending approval).
Submissions should follow the formatting instructions of Springer
LNCS. Submitted papers must present original, unpublished work of
high quality.

Two types of papers will be accepted:

_Full papers (max 14 pages without bibliography/appendices)_
Such papers 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 they
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)_
Such papers 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.

_Posters_
ESSoS will have a poster session to present ideas, discuss
prototypes, and feature ongoing work. Authors of accepted papers and
authors with evaluated artifacts are invited to submit a poster as
well. Poster abstracts are limited to 1 page.

_Approved Artifacts_
Due to the secure software engineering focus, we expect the majority
of papers to be based on an accompanying software artifact, data set,
or similar. We strongly encourage the authors of accepted papers to
submit such artifacts for evaluation. Artifact Evaluation will take
place after accepted papers have been announced. Further information
will be given closer to the paper-submission deadline. Submissions
where the artifact evaluation committee can reproduce the software
artifacts and evaluation will receive the ?approved artifact?
badge. Authors of approved artifacts are further given the
opportunity to demo their artifact at the conference. In addition,
the committee will select a best artifact to receive the
Distinguished Artifact Award.

DESCRIPTION
=====
Computational linguistics studies natural language in its various
manifestations from a computational point of view, both on the
theoretical level (modeling grammar modules dealing with natural
language form and meaning, and the relation between these two) and on
the practical level (developing applications for language and speech
technology). Right from the start in the 1950ties, there have been
strong links with computer science and logic - one can think of
Chomsky's contributions to the theory of formal languages and
automata, or Lambek's logical modeling of natural language syntax. The
workshop assesses the place of computer science logic in present day
computational linguistics. It intends to be a forum for presenting new
results as well as work in progress.
--------------------------------

SCOPE
=====
The workshop focuses on logical approaches to the computational
processing of natural language, and on the applicability of methods
and techniques from the study of artificial languages
(programming/logic) in computational linguistics.

The topics of LACompLing2017 include, but are not limited to:

- Computational theories of human language
- Computational syntax
- Computational semantics
- Computational syntax-semantics interface
- Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech,
text, pragmatics
- Computational grammar
- Logic and reasoning systems for linguistics
- Type theories for linguistics
- Models of computation and algorithms for linguistics
- Language processing
- Parsing algorithms
- Generation of language from semantic representations
- Large-scale grammars of natural languages
- Multilingual processing
- Data science in language processing
- Machine learning of language
- Interdisciplinary methods
- Integration of formal, computational, model theoretic, graphical,
diagrammatic, statistical, and other related methods
- Logic for information extraction or expression in written and spoken language

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Call for Papers: Formal Techniques for Java-like
	Programs
Message-ID: <CACMRfCwuMvLAsP5_QH0iiveTE3haJBvsjQbHzWbRRQWqBYk2ig@mail.gmail.com>

Website: http://2017.ecoop.org/track/FTfJP-2017-papers

FTfJP (Formal Techniques for Java-like Programs) is an
established workshop, running annually since 1999. It is
associated with ECOOP, a flagship European conference on
object-oriented programming.

For 2017, contributions are sought in two categories:

  * **Technical Work**. In 6 two-column pages, the paper
    should present a technical contribution. We welcome both
    complete and incomplete results, as long as they are
    substantial enough to stimulate discussion on future
    research directions.

  * **Position Paper**. In 2 two-column pages, the paper
    should advocate a promising research direction. Using
    this format, we encourage established researchers to set
    out their vision, and we also encourage beginning
    researchers to plan their path to a PhD.

Both types of contributions will benefit from feedback
received at the workshop.  Both theory and tools are
welcome.  Topics include but are not limited to

  - semantics
  - types
  - model checking
  - program analysis (static or dynamic)
  - verification (traditional, quantitative, at runtime, ...)
  - language design (for programs or specifications)
  - concurrency
  - security
  - proof engineering
  - pearls (proofs or programs)

Important dates:

  - **20 April 2017:** submission deadline
  - **15 May 2017:** author notification

Submissions will be peer reviewed, and will be evaluated
based on their *clarity* and based on their *potential to
generate interesting discussions*.  The format of the
workshop encourages interaction. FTfJP is a forum in which a
wide range of people share their expertise, from experienced
researchers to beginning PhD students.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] TAP 2017: Final Call for Papers
Message-ID: <43e4eb7a-6934-c13e-b9dc-4c340cfc5b49@seceng.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de>

=====================================================
Final Call for Papers

11th International Conference on Tests And Proofs
TAP 2017 Marburg (Germany), 19-20 July 2017

Part of STAF 2017 http://http://www.seceng.de/tap2017
=====================================================

Aim and Scope
-------------

The TAP conference promotes research in verification and formal
methods that targets the interplay of proofs and testing: the
advancement of techniques of each kind and their combination, with the
ultimate goal of improving software and system dependability.

Research in verification has recently seen a steady convergence of
heterogeneous techniques and a synergy between the traditionally
distinct areas of testing (and dynamic analysis) and of proving (and
static analysis). Formal techniques, such as model checking, that
produce counterexamples when verification fails are a clear example of
the duality of testing and proving. The combination of static
techniques such as satisfiability modulo theory and predicate
abstraction has provided means of proving correctness by complementing
exhaustive enumeration testing-like techniques. More practically,
testing supports the cost-effective debugging of complex models and
formal specifications, and is applicable in conditions that are beyond
the reach of formal techniques -- for example, components whose source
code is not accessible. Testing and proving are increasingly seen as
complementary rather than mutually exclusive techniques.

The TAP conference aims to promote research in the intersection of
testing and proving by bringing together researchers and practitioners
from both areas of verification.


Topics of Interest
------------------

TAP's scope encompasses many aspects of verification technology,
including foundational work, tool development, and empirical
research. Its topics of interest center around the connection between
proofs (and other static techniques) and testing (and other dynamic
techniques). Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the
following topics:

  - Verification and analysis techniques combining proofs and tests
  - Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
  - Deductive techniques (theorem proving, model checking, symbolic
    execution, SMT solving, constraint logic programming, etc.) to
    support testing: generating testing inputs and oracles, supporting
    coverage criteria, and so on.
  - Program analysis techniques combining static and dynamic analysis
  - Specification inference by deductive and dynamic methods
  - Testing and runtime analysis of formal specifications
  - Model-based testing and verification
  - Using model checking to generate test cases
  - Testing of verification tools and environments
  - Applications of testing and proving to new domains, such as
    security, configuration management, and language-based techniques
  - Bridging the gap between concrete and symbolic reasoning techniques
  - Innovative approaches to verification such as crowdsourcing and
    serious games
  - Case studies, tool and framework descriptions, and experience
    reports about combining tests and proofs


Highlight Topics
----------------

In addition to TAP?s general topics of interests, the 11th edition of
TAP will feature two highlight topics on techniques, tools, and
experience reports on

  1. Testing and proving the correctness of security properties and
     implementations of cryptographic functions and protocols with a
     focus on the successful interplay of tests and proofs, and

  2. Asserting the correct functioning and testing of verification
     tools, especially on theorem provers, that form the basis of many
     verification results for tools and applications our society
     increasingly depends on.

Message-ID: <c944752c-3a79-cf0f-3440-18c2bc9a4b99@kahle.ch>

Call for Presentations:

                          Workshop on
             Metafinite model theory and definability and
               complexity of numeric graph parameters

                       (Metafinite 2017)

                   Affiliated with LICS 2017

               June 19 2017,  Reykjavik, Iceland

           http://cs.technion.ac.il/~janos/metafinte2017

AIM:
The workshop will bring together three strands of investigation dealing
with the model theory and complexity of numeric graph parameters and
their generalization to other first order structures.

(A) Gurevich and Graedel in 1998 initiated the study of metafinite model
theory to study descriptive complexity of numeric parameters.
Metafinite model theory found most of its applications in databases and
abstract state machines (ASM), but was not widely studied in connection
to numeric combinatorial parameters.

(B) Courcelle, Makowsky and Rotics initiated a definability theory for graph
polynomials in 2000 and proved metatheorems for graph polynomials and numeric
structural parameters.

(C) Kotek, Makowsky and Ravve questioned wether the
Turing model of computation was the right choice to discuss the complexity
of numeric graph parameters and proposed alternatives
using the Blum-Shub-Smale model of computation.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers of these three strands
in order to further explore and elaborate on the appropriate framework for the
study of numeric structural parameters and polynomials and to investigate
further metatheorems.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] MAPL Call for Papers
Message-ID: <CALnXJioTuyuQQq9yZonPf5FUkGsqzUOi9i9pr2EK7EU1f-=+qA@mail.gmail.com>

The First Workshop on Machine Learning and Programming Languages (MAPL)
(https://sites.google.com/view/mapl2017/home, co-located with PLDI)

Call for Papers

Due to recent algorithmic and computational advances, machine learning
has seen a surge of interest in both research and practice. From
natural language processing to self-driving cars, machine learning is
creating new possibilities that are changing the way we live and
interact with computers. However, the impact of these advances on
programming languages remains mostly untapped. Yet, incredible
research opportunities exist when combining machine learning and
programming languages in novel ways. MAPL seeks to bring together
programming language and machine learning communities to encourage
collaboration and exploration in cross disciplinary research. The
workshop will include a combination of peer-reviewed papers and
invited events, such as invited talks, panels and/or town hall
discussions.

MAPL seeks papers on a diverse range of topics related to programming
languages and machine learning including:

-        Programming languages and compilers for machine learning
-        Deep learning frameworks
-        Machine learning for compilation and run-time scheduling
-        Improving programmer productivity via machine learning
-        Inductive programming
-        Formal verification of machine learning systems
-        Probabilistic programming
-        Collaborative human / computer programming
-        Interoperability of machine learning frameworks and existing code bases

Important Dates:

-        Submission Deadline: April 3, 2017
-        Author Notification: April 24, 2017
-        Camera-ready Deadline: May 10, 2017
-        Workshop: June 18, 2017

Submissions:

Papers must be submitted in PDF and be no more than 8 pages in
standard two-column SIGPLAN conference format including figures and
tables but not including references. Shorter submissions are welcome.
The submissions will be judged based on the merit of the ideas rather
than the length. Formal proceedings will be included in the ACM
digital archive and available at the workshop.

Objectives
The aim of the symposium is to bring together international researchers and practitioners in the field of software technology. Its focus is on formal methods and advanced software technologies, especially for engineering complex, large-scale artifacts like cyber-physical systems, networks of things, enterprise systems, or cloud-based services. Contributions relating to formal methods or integrating them with software engineering, as well as papers advancing scalability or widening the scope of rigorous methods to new design goals are especially welcome. SETTA 2017 is planning to organize a special thematic section, namely Dependability of Smart Cyber-Physical Systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
. Requirements specification and analysis 
. Formalisms for modeling, design and implementation 
. Model checking, theorem proving, and decision procedures 
. Scalable approaches to formal system analysis 
. Formal approaches to simulation and testing 
. Integration of formal methods into software engineering practice 
. Contract-based engineering of components, systems, and systems of systems 
. Formal and engineering aspects of software evolution and maintenance 
. Parallel and multi-core programming 
. Embedded, real-time, hybrid, and cyber-physical systems 
. Mixed-critical applications and systems 
. Formal aspects of service-oriented and cloud computing 
. Safety, security, reliability, robustness, and fault-tolerance 
. Dependability of smart software and systems 
. Empirical analysis techniques and integration with formal methods 
. Applications and industrial experience reports 
. Tool integration 

Paper Submission 
Authors are invited to submit papers on original research, industrial applications, or position papers proposing challenges in fundamental research and technology. The latter two types of submissions are expected to contribute to the development of formal methods either by substantiating the advantages of integrating formal methods into the development cycle or through delineating need for research by demonstrating weaknesses of existing technologies, especially when addressing new application domains. 

Submissions can take the form of either regular or short papers. Short papers can discuss ongoing research at an early stage, including PhD projects. Papers should be written in English. Regular Papers should not exceed 16 pages and Short Papers should not exceed 6 pages in LNCS format. The proceedings is expected to be published as a volume in Springer's LNCS series, as that of the past editions. The authors of a selected subset of accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to appear in special issues of the reputable journals.

The school has a long and successful tradition (sponsored by the NSF, ACM SIGPLAN, and industry). It covers current research in the theory and practice of programming languages.  Material is presented at a tutorial level that will help graduate students and researchers from academia or industry understand the critical issues and open problems confronting the field. Prerequisites are an elementary knowledge of logic and mathematics, as covered in undergraduate classes on discrete mathematics, and some knowledge of programming languages at the level of an undergraduate survey course. 

A *new feature* this year is the option for students to attend a Review session from June 23rd to 25th -- the three days before the summer school officially begins. The review will cover operational semantics, type systems, and basic proof techniques, and will help graduate and especially undergraduate students who have not had a previous course in this material prepare for the main part of the school. Please contact the organizers if you have questions about whether the review will be helpful given your background.

We hope you can join us for this excellent program!

                     ======== TFP 2017 ===========

           18th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
                            19-21 June, 2017
                      University of Kent, Canterbury
            https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/events/tfp17/index.html

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.

TFP 2017 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming
events. TFP 2017 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on
Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take
place on 22 June.

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;
    * Soesterberg (The Netherlands) in 2014;
    * Inria Sophia-Antipolis (France) in 2015;
    * and Maryland (USA) in 2016.

For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage.
(http://www.tifp.org/).


== 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, but are not limited to:

      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 2017 program chairs, Scott Owens and Meng Wang.


== 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 ==

TBD

== 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=tfp17

Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS
style. For more information about formatting please consult the
Springer LNCS web site:

Subject: [TYPES/announce] 2nd call RV2017: Runtime Verification,
 September 13 - 16 2017, Seattle USA
Message-ID: <a1a8dc1a-0666-1521-b0dc-18558f0d4542@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr>

RV 2017

*2nd Call for Papers and Tutorials*

           The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification

September 13-16, Seattle, WA, USA

http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk <http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk/>

rv2017 at easychair.org <mailto:rv2017 at easychair.org>

Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of 
the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime 
verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, 
and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and 
effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally 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, but are not limited to:

  * specification languages
  * monitor construction techniques
  * program instrumentation
  * logging, recording, and replay
  * combination of static and dynamic analysis
  * specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces
  * monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems
  * runtime checking of privacy and security policies
  * statistical model checking
  * metrics and statistical information gathering
  * program/system execution visualization
  * fault localization, containment, recovery and repair
  * integrated vehicle health management (IVHM)

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

We welcome contributions exploring the combination of runtime 
verification techniques with machine learning and static analysis. 
Whilst these are highlight topics, papers falling into these categories 
will not be treated differently from other contributions.

An overview of previous RV conferences and earlier workshops can be 
found at: http://www.runtime-verification.org.

RV 2017 will be held September 13-16 in Seattle, WA, USA. RV 2017 will 
feature a tutorial day (September 13), and three conference days 
(September 14-16).

  * *Regular Papers* (up to 15 pages, not including references) should
    present original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers,
    system papers, papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and
    case studies on runtime verification.
  * *Short Papers* (up to 6 pages, not including references) 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.
  * *Tool Demonstration Papers* (up to 8 pages, not including
    references) should present a new tool, a new tool component, or
    novel extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification.
    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.

The Program Committee of RV 2017 will give a best paper award, and 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 
<http://link.springer.com/journal/10703>.


    Tutorial Submissions

Subject: [TYPES/announce] QEST 2017 - Call for papers for the 14th
	International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of Systems
Message-ID: <D1FA542C-E1B0-49C1-9164-F06E385C31E1@tuwien.ac.at>


QEST2017
International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems
Berlin, September 5th-7th 2017 | www.qest.org/qest2017 <http://www.qest.org/qest2017>
Co-located with Concur, EPEW 
Scope and Topics
The International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST) is the leading forum on quantitative evaluation and verification of computer systems and networks. Areas of interest include quantitative specification methods, stochastic models, and metrics for performance, reliability, safety, correctness, and security. QEST is interested in both theoretical and experimental research. QEST welcomes a diversity of modeling formalisms, programming languages and methodologies that incorporate quantitative aspects such as probabilities, approximations and other quantitative aspects. Papers may advance empirical, simulation and analytic methods. Of particular interest are case studies that highlight the role of quantitative specification, modeling and evaluation in the design of systems. Systems of interest include computer hardware and software architectures, communication systems, cyber-physical systems, infrastructural systems, and biological systems. Papers that describe novel tools to support the practical application of research results in all of the above areas are also welcome.
Special sessions
To encourage submissions of papers in frontier topics, submissions in selected areas are encouraged. Paper submitted to special sessions will be treated as regular submitted papers, they will be peer reviewed, and subject to the same quality requirements. A special session with accepted papers on the selected topics will be organised during the conference. This year selected topics are: 
Smart Energy Systems over the Cloud <> 
We solicit contributions dealing with quantitative analysis, verification, and performance evaluation of models of networks of smart devices interconnected physically and over the cloud, and in particular within the technological context of smart energy, dealing with smart buildings, the smart grid, or with modern power networks. Instances of problems of interest are energy management in smart buildings, demand response over smart grids, or frequency control over power networks. We are interested in configurations related to cyber-physical systems, of systems of systems, and of the Internet of things, and on models encompassing continuous and digital components, and uncertainty (either environmental, adversarial, or probabilistic).
Machine Learning and Formal Methods <> 
We call for contributions on the fusion of formal methods and machine learning techniques. In particular, we are interested in the use of machine learning approaches, such as reinforcement learning, learning automata, decision trees, gradient based methods, etc. in (statistical) model checking, controller synthesis, program analysis and synthesis, timed systems, compositional verification, etc. The main aim is to disseminate learning based techniques that have potential of improving theory and practice of formal methods.
Special issue
A selection of the best papers presented at QEST 2017 will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper for a Special Issue that will appear in the ACM Transactions of Modelling and Computer Simulation.
Important Dates
Abstract submission:	24 March 2017
Paper and tool submission:	31 March 2017 (AoE)
Author notification:	29 May 2017
Final version due:	23 June 2017
Submissions
All accepted papers (including tool demonstrations) must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. The QEST 2017 proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS Series and indexed by ISI Web of Science, Scopus, ACM Digital Library, dblp, Google Scholar. All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least three reviewers on the basis of their originality, technical quality, scientific or practical contribution to the state of the art, methodology, clarity, and adequacy of references.
QEST considers five types of papers with additional reviewing criteria:
Theoretical: advance our understanding, apply to non-trivial problems and be mathematically rigorous.
Methodological and technical: describe situations that require the development and proposal of new analysis processes and techniques.
Application: describes a novel application, and compares with previous results.
Tools: should motivate the development of the new tools and the formalisms they support, with a focus on the software architecture and practical capabilities.
Tool demonstration: describe a relevant tool, as well as its features, evaluation, or any other information that may demonstrate the merits of the tool.
Submissions must be prepared in LaTeX, following Springer's LNCS guidelines <https://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>. Submitted papers should not exceed 16 pages (4 pages for tool demonstrations). Papers must be unpublished and not be submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors of tool papers (both regular and demonstration) must make their tools and input data available to reviewers; reproducibility of results will be taken into account during the evaluation process, and the conference will include a demo session. Authors should present use cases, distinctive features, and computational/memory requirements through motivating examples. Theoretical background need not be presented in tool demonstration papers; substantial improvements are required for existing tools. Papers should be submitted electronically using the EasyChair online submission system <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qest2017>.

CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS


LOLA 2017: Syntax and Semantics of Low-Level Languages
======================================================
Monday, 19 June 2017, Reykjavik, Iceland
A satellite workshop of LICS 2017
http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/lola2017/


Important Dates
---------------

- Abstract submission: Wednesday, 19 April 2017
- Author notification: Monday, 1 May 2017
- Workshop: Monday, 19 June 2017


Invited Speakers
----------------

- TBD

Context
-------

Since the late 1960s it has been known 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 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 resource bounded programming.

The LOLA workshop, affiliated with LICS 2017, will bring together
researchers interested in the relationships and connections 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
- Relaxed memory models
- 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
- Resource analysis and implicit complexity
- Closures and explicit substitutions
- Linear logic and separation logic
- Game semantics, abstract machines and hardware synthesis
- Monoidal and premonoidal categories, traces and effects


Submission
----------

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 research programs, position
presentations, and short tutorials, as well as more traditional
research talks describing new results.

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

Authors are invited to submit their contribution by April 28, 2017.
Abstracts must be written in English and be submitted as a single PDF
file at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lola2017

Submissions will undergo a lightweight review process and 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 different
communities at the workshop.

The workshop will not have formal proceedings and is not intended to
preclude later publication at another venue.

### New this year

Those familiar with previous ICFP conferences should be aware of two
significant changes that are being introduced in 2017:

1. Papers selected for ICFP 2017 will be published as the ICFP 2017
issue of a new journal, Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages
(PACMPL), which replaces the previous ICFP conference proceedings. The
move to PACMPL will have two noticeable impacts on authors:

    * A new, two-phase selection and reviewing process that conforms to
      ACM?s journal reviewing guidelines.

    * A new, single-column format for submissions.

2. Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase
of the reviewing process will have the option to submit materials for
Artifact Evaluation.

Further details on each of these changes are included in the following
text.

### Scope

ICFP 2017 seeks original papers on the art and science of functional
programming. Submissions are invited on all topics from principles to
practice, from foundations to features, and from abstraction to
application. The scope includes all languages that encourage functional
programming, including both purely applicative and imperative languages,
as well as languages with objects, concurrency, or parallelism. Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):

  * *Language Design*: concurrency, parallelism, and distribution;
    modules; components and composition; metaprogramming; type systems;
    interoperability; domain-specific languages; and relations to
    imperative, object-oriented, or logic programming.

  * *Implementation*: abstract machines; virtual machines;
    interpretation; compilation; compile-time and run-time optimization;
    garbage collection and memory management; multi-threading;
    exploiting parallel hardware; interfaces to foreign functions,
    services, components, or low-level machine resources.

  * *Software-Development Techniques*: algorithms and data structures;
    design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof
    assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling.

  * *Foundations*: formal semantics; lambda calculus; rewriting; type
    theory; monads; continuations; control; state; effects; program
    verification; dependent types.

  * *Analysis and Transformation*: control-flow; data-flow; abstract
    interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation.

  * *Applications*: symbolic computing; formal-methods tools; artificial
    intelligence; systems programming; distributed-systems and web
    programming; hardware design; databases; XML processing; scientific
    and numerical computing; graphical user interfaces; multimedia and
    3D graphics programming; scripting; system administration; security.

  * *Education*: teaching introductory programming; parallel
    programming; mathematical proof; algebra.

Submissions will be evaluated according to their relevance, correctness,
significance, originality, and clarity. Each submission 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.

ICFP 2017 also welcomes submissions in two separate categories ---
Functional Pearls and Experience Reports --- that must be marked as
such at the time of submission and that need not report original
research results.  Detailed guidelines on both categories are given at
the end of this call.

Please contact the program chair if you have questions or are concerned
about the appropriateness of a topic.

### Preparation of submissions

ICFP 2017 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process, as
described below.

**Deadline**: The deadline for submissions is Monday, February 27, 2017,
Anywhere on Earth (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>).
This deadline will be strictly enforced.

**Formatting**: (NOTE: NEW FORMAT REQUIREMENTS FOR ICFP 2017)
Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black and white on US
Letter sized paper, and interpretable by common PDF tools. All
submissions must adhere to the "ACM Large" template that is available
(in both LaTeX and Word formats) from
<http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>.

For authors using LaTeX, a lighter-weight package, including only the
essential files, is available from
<http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format>; the appropriate
template for ICFP 2017 authors is in the file
`acmart-pacmpl-template.tex`.  As documented in the template,
submissions should be prepared using the `acmlarge` and `anonymous`
options.  The use of the `review` option is also strongly encouraged but
not required.  (The `review` option will add line numbers, which will
make it easier for reviewers to reference specific parts of your paper
in their comments, but should have absolutely no other effect on the
typesetting.) Details of available technical support for LaTeX-specific
questions is available at
<http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template#h-technical-support>.

There is a limit of 24 pages for a full paper or 12 pages for an
Experience Report; in either case, the bibliography will not be counted
against these limits. These page limits have been chosen to allow
essentially the same amount of content with the new single-column format
as was possible with the two-column format used in past ICFP
conferences. Submissions that exceed the page limits or, for other
reasons, do not meet the requirements for formatting, will be summarily
rejected.

**Citations**: As part of PACMPL, ICFP 2017 papers are expected to use
author-year citations for references to other work. Author-year
citations may be used as either a noun phrase, such as "The lambda
calculus was originally conceived by Church (1932)", or a parenthetic
phrase, such as "The lambda calculus (Church 1932) was intended as a
foundation for mathematics". A useful test for correct usage it to make
sure that the text still reads correctly when the parenthesized portions
of any references are omitted. Take care with prepositions; in the first
example above, "by" is more appropriate than "in" because it allows the
text to be read correctly as a reference to the author. Sometimes,
readability may be improved by putting parenthetic citations at the end
of a clause or a sentence, such as "A foundation for mathematics was
provided by the lambda calculus (Church 1932)". In LaTeX, use
`\citet{Church-1932}` for citations as a noun phrase, "Church (1932)",
and `\citep{Church-1932}` for citations as a parenthetic phrase,
"(Church 1932)"; for details, see Sections 2.3--2.5 of the natbib
documentation (<http://ctan.org/pkg/natbib>).

**Submission**: Submissions will be accepted at
<https://icfp17.hotcrp.com/>.

Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the
submission deadline using the same web interface.

**Author Response Period**: Authors will have a 72-hour period, starting
at 15:00 UTC on Monday, April 17, 2017, to read reviews and respond to
them.

**Supplementary Materials**: Authors have the option to attach
supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that
reviewers may choose not to look at it. The material should be uploaded
at submission time, as a single pdf or a tarball, not via a URL. This
supplementary material may or may not be anonymized; if not anonymized,
it will only be revealed to reviewers after they have submitted their
review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s).

**Authorship Policies**: All submissions are expected to comply with the
ACM Policies for Authorship that are detailed at
<https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors>.

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

**Resubmitted Papers**: Authors who submit a revised version of a paper
that has previously been rejected by another conference 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.

### Review Process

This section outlines the two-stage process with lightweight
double-blind reviewing that will be used to select papers for
presentation at ICFP 2017. A [list of frequently asked questions and
answers](http://icfp17.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2017-papers#Submission-and-Reviewing-FAQ)
that address common concerns is available on the conference website and
will be updated as necessary to clarify and expand on this process.

**ICFP 2017 will employ a two-stage review process.**  The first stage
in the review process will assess submitted papers using the criteria
stated above and will allow for feedback and input on initial reviews
through the author response period mentioned previously. At the PC
meeting, a set of papers will be conditionally accepted and all other
papers will be rejected.  Authors will be notified of these decisions on
May 1, 2017.

Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with committee
reviews (just as in previous conferences) along with a set of mandatory
revisions. After five weeks (June 5, 2017), the authors will provide a
second submission. The second and final reviewing phase assesses whether
the mandatory revisions have been adequately addressed by the authors
and thereby determines the final accept/reject status of the paper. The
intent and expectation is that the mandatory revisions can be addressed
within five weeks and hence that conditionally accepted papers will in
general be accepted in the second phase.

The second submission should clearly identify how the mandatory
revisions were addressed. To that end, the second submission must be
accompanied by a cover letter mapping each mandatory revision request to
specific parts of the paper. The cover letter will facilitate a quick
second review, allowing for confirmation of final acceptance within two
weeks. Conversely, the absence of a cover letter will be grounds for the
paper?s rejection.

This process is intended as a refinement of the review process that has
been used in previous ICFP conferences. By incorporating a second stage,
the process will conform to ACM?s journal reviewing guidelines for
PACMPL.

**ICFP 2017 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.

### Information for Authors of Accepted Papers

* As a condition of acceptance, final versions of all papers must adhere
  to the new ACM Large format. The page limits for final versions of
  papers will be increased to ensure that authors have space to respond
  to reviewer comments and mandatory revisions.

* Authors of accepted submissions will be required to agree to one of
  the three ACM licensing options: copyright transfer to ACM; retaining
  copyright but granting ACM exclusive publication rights; or open
  access on payment of a fee.  Further information about ACM author
  rights is available from <http://authors.acm.org>.

* At least one author of each accepted submission will be expected to
  attend and present their paper at the conference. (ICFP welcomes all
  authors, regardless of nationality. If any author of an accepted
  submission has visa-related difficulties in travelling to the
  conference, we will make arrangements to enable remote participation,
  and not require them to attend the conference in order to present
  their talk. In such a case contact us (icfp2017 at cs.ox.ac.uk) for
  further guidance.) The schedule for presentations will be determined
  and shared with authors after the full program has been selected.
  Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the presenter
  consents.

* We intend that the proceedings will be freely available for download
  from the ACM Digital Library in perpetuity via the OpenTOC mechanism.

* ACM Author-Izer is a unique service that enables ACM authors to
  generate and post links on either their home page or institutional
  repository for visitors to download the definitive version of their
  articles from the ACM Digital Library at no charge. Downloads through
  Author-Izer links are captured in official ACM statistics, improving
  the accuracy of usage and impact measurements. Consistently linking to
  the definitive version of an ACM article should reduce user confusion
  over article versioning. After an article has been published and
  assigned to the appropriate ACM Author Profile pages, authors should
  visit <http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service> to
  learn how to create links for free downloads from the ACM DL.

* **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.**

### Artifact Evaluation

Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase of
the review process will be encouraged (but not required) to submit
supporting materials for Artifact Evaluation. These items will then be
reviewed by a committee, separate from the program committee, whose task
is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the
associated paper. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process
successfully will receive a seal of approval printed on the papers
themselves. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to make the
supporting materials publicly available upon publication of the
proceedings, for example, by including them as "source materials" in the
ACM Digital Library.  An additional seal will mark papers whose
artifacts are made available, as outlined in the ACM guidelines for
artifact badging.

Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary and will not influence
the final decision regarding paper acceptance.

Further information about the motivations and expectations for Artifact
Evaluation can be found at
<http://icfp17.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2017-Artifacts>.

### Special categories of papers

In addition to research papers, ICFP solicits two kinds of papers that
do not require original research contributions: Functional Pearls, which
are full papers, and Experience Reports, which are limited to half the
length of a full paper. Authors submitting such papers should consider
the following guidelines.

#### Functional Pearls

A Functional Pearl is an elegant essay about something related to
functional programming. Examples include, but are not limited to:

  * a new and thought-provoking way of looking at an old idea

  * an instructive example of program calculation or proof

  * a nifty presentation of an old or new data structure

  * an interesting application of functional programming techniques

  * a novel use or exposition of functional programming in the classroom

While pearls often demonstrate an idea through the development of a
short program, there is no requirement or expectation that they do so.
Thus, they encompass the notions of theoretical and educational pearls.

Functional Pearls are valued as highly and judged as rigorously as
ordinary papers, but using somewhat different criteria. In particular, a
pearl is not required to report original research, but, it should be
concise, instructive, and entertaining. A pearl is likely to be rejected
if its readers get bored, if the material gets too complicated, if too
much specialized knowledge is needed, or if the writing is inelegant.
The key to writing a good pearl is polishing.

A submission that is intended to be treated as a pearl must be marked as
such on the submission web page, and should contain the words
"Functional Pearl" somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps will
alert reviewers to use the appropriate evaluation criteria. Pearls will
be combined with ordinary papers, however, for the purpose of computing
the conference's acceptance rate.

#### Experience Reports

The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of
published, refereed, citable evidence that functional programming really
works --- or to describe what obstacles prevent it from working.

Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited
to:

  * insights gained from real-world projects using functional
    programming

  * comparison of functional programming with conventional programming
    in the context of an industrial project or a university curriculum

  * project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when using
    functional programming in a real-world project

  * curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in
    education

  * real-world constraints that created special challenges for an
    implementation of a functional language or for functional
    programming in general

An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal ICFP paper by its
title, by its length, and by the criteria used to evaluate it.

  * Both in the proceedings and in any citations, the title of each
    accepted Experience Report must begin with the words "Experience
    Report" followed by a colon. The acceptance rate for Experience
    Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for
    ordinary papers.

  * Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long,
    excluding bibliography.

  * Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the conference,
    but depending on the number of Experience Reports and regular papers
    accepted, authors of Experience reports may be asked to give shorter
    talks.

  * Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our community
    to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional
    programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the
    body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by
    presenting novel results or conclusions. It is sufficient if the
    Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting evidence. The
    thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel.

The program committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on
whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence
will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains
what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as possible.
Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers which show
how functional programming was used than from papers which only say that
functional programming was used. The most convincing evidence often
includes comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or
discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from a single
person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given to
evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people.

An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a
claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular
project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If
functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has
worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results --- the
main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in what
context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of the
project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize the
project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to what
degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper
should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project.
Specifics about the project are more valuable than generalities about
functional programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the
team delivered its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say
that functional programming made the team more productive.

If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new
technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the
functional-programming community, it may be better off submitted it as a
full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty,
originality, and relevance. The program chair will be happy to advise on
any concerns about which category to submit to.

Call for Presentations
  
New Worlds of Computation (NWC 2017)
 
 
12-14 Apr. 2017 in Orl?ans?(France)
 
https://nwc2017-jcal.sciencesconf.org
 
    The 3rd edition of the International Workshop New Worlds of Computation (NWC 2017) will be held in Orl?ans, France, 12th to 14th April 2017. This edition will be co-located with the Journ?es du?GT Calculabilit?s du GdR Informatique Math?matique, the French days on computabilities. What will computers be made out of in 2030? In 2050? What would be the main paradigm(s)? Would electronics be replaced by some other medium for common computers? For Clouds? For large computers? For dedicated treatments? It would be?presumptuous to say when and by what, all or parts of our electronic devices would be replaced. Nevertheless, researchers explore many directions: optical, quantum, bio-computing, chemo-computing, DNA and the nano world? Would it be analog or digital? The workshop aims at gathering people interested and investigating the alternatives, providing fundamental or applied results. The ambition is to allow the presentation of the newest results as well as foster interactions between different perspectives. The third edition of the workshop will be co-localized with the Journ?es (French days) of the working group in Calculabilit?s (computabilities) from the GdR Informatique Math?matique of the CNRS. This working group will provide?insights on what would be possible or not in future computers. This co-location will permit new encounters and? provide cross-fertilization.
 
 The topics involved include natural, unconventional and hyper computations: 
     
   - analog computation and computable analysis
   - computation on real, rings? (BSS)   
 
   - recursion theory   
 
   - continuous and hybrid computation
   - cellular automata
   - collision based computation
   - quantum computation
   - DNA computation and tile assembly systems
   - membrane computing
   - signal machines
   - computation on infinite structures or in infinite time   
 
   - non-Euclidean spaces, non-standard approaches
   - spatial, optical, fuzzy,? computation

   - VALARCHER Pierre, Universit? Paris Est Cr?teil
 
Proceedings
 
  Proceedings are composed of a booklet collecting the abstracts of the presentations.
 After the workshop, a special issue of the International Journal on Unconventional Computing will be devoted to extended articles on the results presented at NWC.
  
Submission
  In order to make a presentation to one or both event, you have to submit a title and an (short textual) abstract. The refereeing process is not meant to be selective but to check the coherence with the topics. It is open to work in progress or presented elsewhere. Presentation slots will be large enough to present? context, results, methodology, proofs, expected progress? PhD student are particularly welcomed.    Submission deadline: 22th March 2017 Notifications: 13th and 27th March 2017
 There are multiple notification times since the referee process is targeted at verifying that it matches with the topics. The submission process is common to both event. One has to provide:    
   - Title
   - Abstract
   - Whose event it is intended to or if for both (i.e. one presentation common to both)
 To be able to access the submission page, one must be a logged registered user of sciencesconf.org. Registration is free and fast. When all is ready, go to the submission page. 
Registration
 Registration is free but compulsory. It includes lunches and banquet. Registration deadline : 10 April 2017 (otherwise on site, but no meal is garanteed).

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Graphical Models for Security (GraMSec 2017) - CFP
Message-ID: <aa982fc6-a2b4-063b-47f6-e85a7e73dabc@irisa.fr>

CALL FOR PAPERS - GraMSec 2017

The Fourth International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security
Santa Barbara, CA, USA - August 21, 2017

http://gramsec.uni.lu
Co-located with CSF 2017

SCOPE
Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic approach 
to analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate potential 
protection measures. Cyber security researchers, as well as security 
professionals from industry and government, have proposed various 
graphical security modeling schemes. Such models are used to capture 
different security facets (digital, physical, and social) and address a 
range of challenges including vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, 
defense analysis, automated defensing, secure services composition, 
policy validation and verification. The objective of the GraMSec 
workshop is to contribute to the development of well-founded graphical 
security models, efficient algorithms for their analysis, as well as 
methodologies for their practical usage.

TOPICS
The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government 
presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of 
graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but 
are not limited to:

? Graphical models for threat modeling and analysis
? Graphical models for risk analysis and management
? Graphical models for requirements analysis and management
? Textual and graphical representation for system, organizational, and 
business security
? Visual security modeling and analysis of socio-technical and 
cyber-physical systems
? Graphical security modeling for cyber situational awareness
? Graphical models supporting the security by design paradigm
? Methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of graphical 
security models
? Formal semantics and verification of graphical security models
? Methods for (semi-)automatic generation of graphical security models
? Enhancement and/or optimization of existing graphical security models
? Scalable evaluation of graphical security models
? Evaluation algorithms for graphical security models
? Dynamic update of graphical security models
? Game theoretical approaches to graphical security modeling
? Attack trees, attack graphs and their variants
? Stochastic Petri nets, Markov chains, and Bayesian networks for security
? UML-based models and other graphical modeling approaches for security
? Software tools for graphical security modeling and analysis
? Case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical security 
modeling paradigm

INVITED SPEAKER
To be decided.

PAPER SUBMISSION
We solicit two types of submissions:
? Regular papers (up to 15 pages, excluding the bibliography and 
well-marked appendices)
describing original and unpublished work within the scope of the workshop.
? Short papers (up to 7 pages, excluding the bibliography and 
well-marked appendices)
describing original and unpublished work in progress.

The reviewers are not required to read the appendices, so the papers 
should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be prepared 
using the LNCS style:
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. All accepted (regular 
and short) papers will be included in the workshop's post-proceedings. 
As the previous two years, the GraMSec 2017 post-proceedings are planned 
to be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series 
of Springer (confirmation pending). Submissions should be made using the 
GraMSec 2017 EasyChair web site: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec17

                      https://vstte17.lri.fr

               July 22-23, 2017, Heidelberg, Germany

         Co-located with the 29th International Conference
              on Computer-Aided Verification, CAV 2017


Important Dates

  * Abstract submission:  Mon, Apr 24, 2017
  * Full paper submission:  Mon, May  1, 2017
  * Notification:  Mon, Jun  5, 2017
  * VSTTE:  Sat-Sun, Jul 22-23, 2017

Overview

  The goal of the VSTTE conference series 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. Submissions of theoretical, practical, and
  experimental contributions are equally encouraged, including those
  that focus on specific problems or problem domains. We are especially
  interested in submissions describing large-scale verification efforts
  that involve collaboration, theory unification, tool integration, and
  formalized domain knowledge. We also welcome papers describing novel
  experiments and case studies evaluating verification techniques and
  technologies.

  Topics of interest for VSTTE include education, requirements modeling,
  specification languages, specification/verification/certification 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 Submissions

  We accept both long (limited to 16 pages) and short (limited to 10 pages)
  paper submissions. Short submissions also cover Verification Pearls
  describing an elegant proof or proof technique. Submitted research papers

In cooperation with: ACM SIGSAC and SIGSOFT (pending)
New this year: co-Located with DIMVA.

* Context and motivation *
IT security is becoming an increasingly interdisciplinary subject.
For example, it is insufficient to simply deploy new security
measures but one must pay careful attention to correctly integrate
the security measures into existing software. Such an approach
involves redesigning and engineering of software to ensure that the
built-in security policy is effective in practice.
Many security venues put little focus on topics related to software
engineering, while many software-engineering venues lack appreciation
for more complex topics in software security. ESSoS thus strives to
be a venue that welcomes exactly such contributions that are at the
border of IT security and software engineering. The program committee
is particularly chosen to encompass a broad range of expertise,
ranging from software security over software engineering to human
subjects such as usable security.

* Goal and setup *
The goal of this symposium, which will be the ninth in the series, is
to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the state
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 including two
keynote presentations. In addition to academic papers, the symposium
encourages submission of high-quality, informative industrial
experience papers about successes and failures in secure software
engineering and the lessons learned. Furthermore, the symposium also
accepts short idea papers that crisply describe a promising
direction, approach, or insight.

* Topics *
The Symposium seeks submissions on subjects related to its goals.
This includes a diversity of topics 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 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
- Security testing
- Embedded software security
- Usable security

* Important dates *
Paper submission: Friday, February 24, 2017 (firm)
Paper acceptance notification: Tuesday, April 18, 2017
Artifact evaluation submission: Friday, April 21, 2017
Poster submission: Friday, April 21, 2017
Poster acceptance notification: Friday, April 28, 2017
Camera-ready: Friday, May 12, 2017
Symposium: Monday to Wednesday, July 3-5, 2017
(DIMVA is held July 6-7, following ESSoS)

* 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/computer/lncs, pending approval).
Submissions should follow the formatting instructions of Springer
LNCS. Submitted papers must present original, unpublished work of
high quality.

Two types of papers will be accepted:

_Full papers (max 14 pages without bibliography/appendices)_
Such papers 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 they
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)_
Such papers 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.

_Posters_
ESSoS will have a poster session to present ideas, discuss
prototypes, and feature ongoing work. Authors of accepted papers and
authors with evaluated artifacts are invited to submit a poster as
well. Poster abstracts are limited to 1 page.

_Approved Artifacts_
Due to the secure software engineering focus, we expect the majority
of papers to be based on an accompanying software artifact, data set,
or similar. We strongly encourage the authors of accepted papers to
submit such artifacts for evaluation. Artifact Evaluation will take
place after accepted papers have been announced. Further information
will be given closer to the paper-submission deadline. Submissions
where the artifact evaluation committee can reproduce the software
artifacts and evaluation will receive the ?approved artifact?
badge. Authors of approved artifacts are further given the
opportunity to demo their artifact at the conference. In addition,
the committee will select a best artifact to receive the
Distinguished Artifact Award.

*Call for Papers (Deadline Extension)*

10th International Conference on Graph Transformation
ICGT 2017
Marburg (Germany), 18-19 July 2017

Part of STAF 2017
https://sites.google.com/site/gratra2017/
============================================

Aims and Scope
---------------------------------
Dynamic structures are a major cause for complexity when it comes to model
and reason about systems. They occur in software architectures, models,
pointer structures, databases, networks, etc. As collections of
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, refactoring, and evolution of a wide range of artefacts,
where change can happen either at design time or at run time.

Based on the observation that these structures can be represented as graphs
and their modifications 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, either in contributing to the theory of graph
transformation or by applying graph transformation to established or novel
areas.

The 10th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2017) will
be held in Marburg, Germany, as part of STAF 2017 (Software Technologies:
Applications and Foundations). The conference takes place under the
auspices of EATCS, EASST, and IFIP WG 1.3. Proceedings will be published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, and a
special issue has been confirmed with the Journal of Logic and Algebraic
Methods in Programming (Elsevier).

Topics of Interest
---------------------------------
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- General models of graph transformation (e.g., high-level, adhesive, node,
edge, and hyperedge replacement systems)
- Analysis and verification of graph transformation systems
- Graph theoretical properties of graph languages
- Automata on graphs and parsing of graph languages
- Logical aspects of graph transformation
- Computational models based on graph transformation
- Structuring and modularization of graph transformation
- Hierarchical graphs and decompositions of graphs
- Parallel, concurrent, and distributed graph transformation
- Term graph rewriting
- Graph transformation and Petri nets
- Model-driven development and model transformation
- Model checking, program verification, simulation and animation

=====================================================
Final Call for Papers

*DEADLINE EXTENSION*

11th International Conference on Tests And Proofs
TAP 2017 Marburg (Germany), 19-20 July 2017

Part of STAF 2017 http://http://www.seceng.de/tap2017
=====================================================

Aim and Scope
-------------

The TAP conference promotes research in verification and formal
methods that targets the interplay of proofs and testing: the
advancement of techniques of each kind and their combination, with the
ultimate goal of improving software and system dependability.

Research in verification has recently seen a steady convergence of
heterogeneous techniques and a synergy between the traditionally
distinct areas of testing (and dynamic analysis) and of proving (and
static analysis). Formal techniques, such as model checking, that
produce counterexamples when verification fails are a clear example of
the duality of testing and proving. The combination of static
techniques such as satisfiability modulo theory and predicate
abstraction has provided means of proving correctness by complementing
exhaustive enumeration testing-like techniques. More practically,
testing supports the cost-effective debugging of complex models and
formal specifications, and is applicable in conditions that are beyond
the reach of formal techniques -- for example, components whose source
code is not accessible. Testing and proving are increasingly seen as
complementary rather than mutually exclusive techniques.

The TAP conference aims to promote research in the intersection of
testing and proving by bringing together researchers and practitioners
from both areas of verification.


Topics of Interest
------------------

TAP's scope encompasses many aspects of verification technology,
including foundational work, tool development, and empirical
research. Its topics of interest center around the connection between
proofs (and other static techniques) and testing (and other dynamic
techniques). Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the
following topics:

  - Verification and analysis techniques combining proofs and tests
  - Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
  - Deductive techniques (theorem proving, model checking, symbolic
    execution, SMT solving, constraint logic programming, etc.) to
    support testing: generating testing inputs and oracles, supporting
    coverage criteria, and so on.
  - Program analysis techniques combining static and dynamic analysis
  - Specification inference by deductive and dynamic methods
  - Testing and runtime analysis of formal specifications
  - Model-based testing and verification
  - Using model checking to generate test cases
  - Testing of verification tools and environments
  - Applications of testing and proving to new domains, such as
    security, configuration management, and language-based techniques
  - Bridging the gap between concrete and symbolic reasoning techniques
  - Innovative approaches to verification such as crowdsourcing and
    serious games
  - Case studies, tool and framework descriptions, and experience
    reports about combining tests and proofs


Highlight Topics
----------------

In addition to TAP?s general topics of interests, the 11th edition of
TAP will feature two highlight topics on techniques, tools, and
experience reports on

  1. Testing and proving the correctness of security properties and
     implementations of cryptographic functions and protocols with a
     focus on the successful interplay of tests and proofs, and

  2. Asserting the correct functioning and testing of verification
     tools, especially on theorem provers, that form the basis of many
     verification results for tools and applications our society
     increasingly depends on.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] CFP: International Workshop on OCL and Textual
	Modeling (OCL 2017)
Message-ID: <20170222214700.w56ujulpbpsk2whe@fujikawa.home.brucker.ch>

(Apologies for duplicates)


                        CALL FOR PAPERS
       17th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling

                       Co-located with 
  STAF 2017 SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES: APPLICATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS
                 July 20, 2017, Marburg, Germany
                   http://oclworkshop.github.io


Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical notation.
Such visual representations enable direct intuitive capturing of reality,
but they have weaknesses: for example, detailed visual representations bear
the risk of becoming overcrowded faster than textual models and some of
the visual features lack the level of precision required to create complete
and unambiguous specifications. These weaknesses of 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 to 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

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,
  - meta-modeling 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
- Tools that support textual modeling languages (e.g., verification of
  OCL formulae, runtime monitoring of invariants)
- 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
This workshop will be organized as a part of STAF 2017 Conferenze in Marburg, 
Germany. It was previously organized as part of the MODELS conference. 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 contributions (between 6 and 8 pages) describing new ideas, innovative 
  tools or position papers.
* Full papers (between 12 and 16 pages).

in LNCS format. Submissions should be uploaded to [EasyChair](https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl17).
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
post-conference edition of [CEUR](http://www.ceur-ws.org).

## Important Dates

- Submission of papers:      April 28, 2017
- Notification:              May   25, 2017

The sixth workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education, 2017, which is to be held on the Canterbury campus of the University of Kent on Thursday, 22 June, following the 2017 TFP meeting on 19?21 June. TFPIE workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012), Provo Utah, USA (2013), Soesterberg, The Netherlands (2014), and Sophia-Antipolis, France (2015), College Park, USA (2016).

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 2017 will screen submissions to ensure that all presentations are within scope and are of interest to participants. After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit revised versions of their articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). 

Call for papers

TFPIE 2017 welcomes submissions describing techniques used in the classroom, tools used in and/or developed for the classroom and any creative use of functional programming (FP) to aid education in or outside Computer Science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

                      Call for  Satellite Events


-- ABOUT ETAPS --

The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
(ETAPS) is the primary European forum for academic and industrial
researchers working on topics relating to Software Science. It is an
annual event held in Europe each spring since 1998. Its twenty-first
edition, ETAPS 2018, will take place 14-21 April 2018 in Thessaloniki,
Greece.

ETAPS 2018 main conferences, scheduled for 16-20 April, are:

* ESOP: European Symposium on Programming
* FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering
* FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures
* POST: Principles of Security and Trust
* TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of
  Systems


-- SATELLITE EVENTS --

The ETAPS 2018 organizing committee invites proposals for satellite
events (workshops) that will complement the main conferences. They
should fall within the scope of ETAPS. This encompasses all aspects of
the system development process, including specification, design,
implementation, analysis and improvement, as well as the languages,
methodologies and tools which support these activities, covering a
spectrum from practically-motivated theory to soundly-based
practice. Satellite events provide an opportunity to discuss and
report on emerging research approaches and practical experience
relevant to theory and practice of software.

ETAPS 2018 satellite events will be held immediately before and after
the main conferences, on 14-15 April and 21 April.


-- ARRANGEMENTS FOR SATELLITE EVENTS --

The organizers of an ETAPS 2018 satellite are expected to:

* create and maintain a website for the event,
* form a PC, produce a call for papers for the event (if appropriate),
* advertise the event through specialist mailing lists etc. to
  complement the publicity of ETAPS,
* review the submissions received and make acceptance decisions,
* prepare an informal (pre)proceedings for the event (if appropriate),
* prepare the event's program complying with any scheduling
  constraints defined by the ETAPS 2018 organizing committee,
* prepare and organize the publication of a formal (post)proceedings
  (if desired).

The ETAPS 2018 organizing committee will:

* promote the event on the website and in the publicity material of
  ETAPS 2018,
* integrate the event's program into the overall program of the
  conference,
* arrange registration for the event as a component of registration
  for ETAPS,
* collect a participation fee from the registrants,
* produce a compilation USB memory stick of the informal
  (pre)proceedings of the satellite events of ETAPS 2018 and
  distribute this to the registrants,
* provide the event with a meeting room of an appropriate size, A/V
  equipment, coffee breaks and possibly lunch(es).

As a rule, ETAPS will not contribute toward the travel or accommodation 
costs of invited speakers or organizers of satellite events.

FIRST CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS

2nd LOGIC MENTORING WORKSHOP
Reykjavik, Iceland
Sunday 18 June 2017

http://lics.rwth-aachen.de/lics17/lmw.html

Colocated with LICS 2017


The 2nd Logic Mentoring Workshop (LMW) invites applications from students
(undergraduate, master's and PhD), in all areas of logic for scholarships
to attend the Logic in Computer Science (LICS) conference this year.
Attending a conference such as LICS can be a transformative experience. It
exposes participants to cutting-edge research and can open up new research
avenues and collaboration opportunities. However many students do not get
the opportunity to attend a conference such as LICS, and its participation
often underrepresents women and minorities. For this reason, women and
members of minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. Scholarships
will be generously funded by our sponsors (see below) and cover
registration to LMW and the main LICS conference, and possibly travel and
accommodation.

The LMW will focus on the technical and practical aspects of a career in
logic research, including talks and panel sessions from leaders in the
subject. LMW ?17 builds on the success of the first edition which took
place last year, also colocated with LICS. Last year's programme can be
found here: <http://lics.rwth-aachen.de/lics16/lmw.html>.


SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS

Applications should be made via the online form:

http://bit.ly/2lLnRq5

Please note that a letter of recommendation is required and should be sent
directly by your referee to Valeria Vignudelli <
valeria.vignudelli at ens-lyon.fr>. Further details are on the form.

The deadline for applications is *31 March 2017*. Notification will be made
shortly thereafter.

Message-ID: <CABdH3mCjnwr0yEuZxMhAsPX2h6eCQmEPoEZHpmhCPGJCqom6sA@mail.gmail.com>

*RV 2017*

*Call for Papers and Tutorials*

          The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification

          September 13-16, Seattle, WA, USA

http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk


rv2017 at easychair.org

Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the
runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification
techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness;
they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to
conventional testing, and are generally 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, but are not limited to:

   - specification languages
   - monitor construction techniques
   - program instrumentation
   - logging, recording, and replay
   - combination of static and dynamic analysis
   - specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces
   - monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems
   - runtime checking of privacy and security policies
   - statistical model checking
   - metrics and statistical information gathering
   - program/system execution visualization
   - fault localization, containment, recovery and repair
   - integrated vehicle health management (IVHM)

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

We welcome contributions exploring the combination of runtime verification
techniques with machine learning and static analysis. Whilst these are
highlight topics, papers falling into these categories will not be treated
differently from other contributions.

An overview of previous RV conferences and earlier workshops can be found
at: http://www.runtime-verification.org.

RV 2017 will be held September 13-16 in Seattle, WA, USA. RV 2017 will
feature a tutorial day (September 13), and three conference days (September
14-16).

be included in a clearly marked appendix, that will be reviewed at the
discretion of reviewers, but not included in the proceedings.

At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must attend RV 2017
to present.
Paper Submissions

There are three categories of papers which can be submitted: regular, short
or tool papers. Papers in each category will be reviewed by at least 3
members of the Program Committee.

   - *Regular Papers* (up to 15 pages, not including references) should
   present original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers, system
   papers, papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and case studies
   on runtime verification.
   - *Short Papers* (up to 6 pages, not including references) 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.
   - *Tool Demonstration Papers* (up to 8 pages, not including references)
   should present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to
   existing tools supporting runtime verification. 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.

The Program Committee of RV 2017 will give a best paper award, and 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
<http://link.springer.com/journal/10703>.
Tutorial Submissions

Tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected topic.
Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a paper of up
to 20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings, not including references.

A proposal for a tutorial must contain the subject of the tutorial, a
proposed timeline, a note on previous similar tutorials (if applicable) and
the differences to this incarnation, and a brief biography of the
presenter. The proposal should not exceed 2 pages.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] Maria Christakis wins the EAPLS Best Phd
	Dissertation Award 2015:
Message-ID: <889c837f-c989-8369-a3ec-90e650a97895@utwente.nl>

It is the great pleasure of the European Association for Programming 
Languages and Systems to announce the outcome of the EAPLS Best 
Dissertation Award 2015 (http://eapls.org/items/330/).

This award is given to the PhD student who has made the most original 
and influential contribution to the area of Programming Languages and 
Systems, and has graduated in 2015 at a European academic institute. The 
purpose of the award is to draw attention to excellent work, to help the 
career of the student in question, and to promote the research field as 
a whole.

The winner of the 2015 edition of the EAPLS Dissertation Award is

      Dr. Maria Christakis
      ETH Z?rich, Switzerland

for her dissertation on

      Narrowing the gap between verification and systematic testing

supervised by Peter M?ller. The winner was selected by a committee of 
international experts. Details on the procedure can be found at 
http://eapls.org/pages/phd_award/. The candidate theses were judged on 
originality, impact, relevance, and quality of writing.

The jury concluded unanimously that Dr. Christakis' dissertation is an 
outstanding piece of work; it received the best marks amidst some very 
strong contenders. A summary of the jury's findings:

+ The thesis contains an effort in combining verification and testing, 
fields that seemed to be disjoint to date.

+ This thesis presents both novel theoretical and practical results on a 
high level. There are contributions that advance the state of the art 
both in testing and verification as well as a case study on a real piece 
of software.

+ Her contributions are significant and novel, the breadth is also 
"unusual" or "impressive", and she implemented and evaluated with 
industrial tools.

+ The results have been published in a series of internationally 
well-known conferences: FM, TACAS, ICSE, VMCAI, SEFM, RV, and SPIN.

+ The dissertation is very well written.

We offer Dr. Christakis our heartfelt congratulations with her 
achievement. We are confident that it will be a sign of a long and 
distinguished scientific career.

         Programming Language Implementation Summer School (PLISS)

                      May 20-27, 2017, Bertinoro Italy

                        https://pliss2017.github.io/
============================================================================

Programming languages are our interface to the myriad of computer systems we
interact with on a daily basis. They allow us to craft complex sequences of
operations at increasing high levels of abstraction. How are these languages
designed? How are they implemented? How do we evaluate them?

The First Programming Language Implementation Summer School (PLISS) will be
held in Bertinoro, Italy from May 20 to 27, 2017. The Summer School's goal
is to prepare early graduate students and advanced undergraduates for
research in the field. This will be done through a combination of lectures
on language implementation techniques and short talks exploring the state of
the art in programming language research and practice.

Lectures cover current research and future trends in programming language
design and implementation, including:
 * Writing Just-in-time Compilers with LLVM
 * Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking
 * Designing a Commercial Actor Language
 * High-Performance Fully Concurrent Garbage Collection
 * Compiling Dynamic Languages
 * Language-support for Distributed Datastores

The instructors are accomplished researchers and practitioners with extensive
experience designing and engineering successful languages and tools.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of our sponsors in allowing us to make
travel grants and fellowships available to support students interested in
attending PLISS.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] CFP: Special Issue of the AMAI on the
 Formalization of Geometry, Automated and Interactive Geometric Reasoning
Message-ID: <5324e3ba-f93e-6c96-bcb1-8cdf72f35a1e@risc.jku.at>

Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence

   special issue on

Formalization of Geometry, Automated and Interactive Geometric Reasoning


Geometry is a privileged field of investigation for various domains of
computer science from image processing to geometric modeling via
artificial intelligence in education and automated proof in geometry or
semantic indexation of multimedia databases and so on.

This special issue of AMAI is devoted to formal computational aspects of
geometry. Formalizing geometry can be investigated in several different
ways. At the beginning of the 1960s, the seminal work of Gelernter in
the domain of automated proof was about synthetic geometry as taught in
school. Then, in the late 1970s, a kind of revolution occurred with the
work of Wu consisting in translating geometry into algebra and in using
pseudo-division to perform proofs of a high-level theorem in both
Euclidean and hyperbolic geometries.

Subsequently, much work has been done continuing that geometry/algebra
relation by considering other aspects of geometry, like differential
geometry, distance geometry, discovering geometric theorems in figures
with dynamic geometry software or from graphical figures, etc.
Moreover, several researchers studied the foundations of geometry
through various set of axioms; this way, the classical axiomatic
approaches of Hilbert and Tarski have been formalized, as well as
computational origami or incidence geometry. Outside the domain of
automated proof, formalization of geometry is also encountered almost
everywhere in geometric modeling --for instance with geometric
constraint solving, declarative modeling or topological modeling-- and
also in computational geometry or combinatorial geometry.


Call-for-Papers

For this special issue of AMAI, we are seeking original contributions on
various aspects of formalization of geometry having in view
computational applications mainly oriented to proof but also to modeling
in geometry. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):


* Polynomial algebra, invariant and coordinate-free methods,
  probabilistic, synthetic, and logical approaches, techniques for
  automated geometric reasoning from discrete mathematics,
  combinatorics, and numerics;
* Symbolic and numeric methods for geometric computation, geometric
  constraint solving, automated generation/reasoning and manipulation
  with diagrams;
* Design and implementation of geometry software, special-purpose tools,
  automated theorem provers, experimental studies;
* Applications of formalization of geometry to mechanics, geometric
  modeling, CAGD/CAD, computer vision, robotics, and education.

Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally 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, but are not limited to:

  *   specification languages
  *   monitor construction techniques
  *   program instrumentation
  *   logging, recording, and replay
  *   combination of static and dynamic analysis
  *   specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces
  *   monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems
  *   runtime checking of privacy and security policies
  *   statistical model checking
  *   metrics and statistical information gathering
  *   program/system execution visualization
  *   fault localization, containment, recovery and repair
  *   integrated vehicle health management (IVHM)

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

We welcome contributions exploring the combination of runtime verification techniques with machine learning and static analysis. Whilst these are highlight topics, papers falling into these categories will not be treated differently from other contributions.

An overview of previous RV conferences and earlier workshops can be found at: http://www.runtime-verification.org<http://www.runtime-verification.org/>.

RV 2017 will be held September 13-16 in Seattle, WA, USA. RV 2017 will feature a tutorial day (September 13), and three conference days (September 14-16).

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv17

The page limitations mentioned below include all text and figures, but exclude references. Additional details omitted due to space limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix, that will be reviewed at the discretion of reviewers, but not included in the proceedings.

At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must attend RV 2017 to present.

Paper Submissions

There are three categories of papers which can be submitted: regular, short or tool papers. Papers in each category will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee.

  *   Regular Papers (up to 15 pages, not including references) should present original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers, system papers, papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and case studies on runtime verification.
  *   Short Papers (up to 6 pages, not including references) 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.
  *   Tool Demonstration Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references) should present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification. 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.

The Program Committee of RV 2017 will give a best paper award, and 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<http://link.springer.com/journal/10703>.

Tutorial Submissions

Tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected topic. Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a paper of up to 20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings, not including references.

A proposal for a tutorial must contain the subject of the tutorial, a proposed timeline, a note on previous similar tutorials (if applicable) and the differences to this incarnation, and a brief biography of the presenter. The proposal should not exceed 2 pages.

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 registering the title and a tentative
abstract (1/2 page, at maximum) of their paper.
    * In the second step the authors should submit the full paper.
There are four categories of submissions:
    * Regular papers describing fully completed research results (up to 8
pages in the two-columns paper style).
    * System descriptions and experimental papers describing implementation
results of experimental data, with a link to the reported results (up to 4
pages in the two-columns paper style).
    * Short papers, describing work in progress and/or preliminary results
(up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).
    * Posters, describing ongoing work and research challenges of PhD
students (up to 2 pages in the two-columns paper style).

Both the abstract and the full paper should be submitted electronically
through http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2017.

Special sessions, workshops and tutorials
----------------------------------------------------
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.
All papers accepted at workshops will be included in the local electronic
pre-proceedings and the best presented papers will be included in the post
proceedings published by Conference Publishing Services.
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.

## SPLASH Workshops

Following its long-standing tradition, SPLASH 2017 will host a variety of
high-quality workshops, 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.

Late phase submissions due: Fri March 3, 2017
http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-Workshops


## OOPSLA

Papers may target any stage of software development, including requirements,
modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, generation, analysis,
verification, testing, evaluation, maintenance, and reuse of software systems.
Contributions may include the development of new tools (such as language
front-ends, program analyses, and runtime systems), new techniques (such as
methodologies, design processes, and code organization approaches), new
principles (such as formalisms, proofs, models, and paradigms), and new
evaluations (such as experiments, corpora analyses, user studies, and surveys).

Abstracts due: Thu April 13, 2017
Submissions due: Mon April 17, 2017
http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-OOPSLA


## Onward! 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: Fri April 21, 2017
http://2017.splashcon.org/track/onward-2017/onward-2017-Onward-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.

Submissions due: Fri April 21, 2017

(GPCE) is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques
and tools for code generation, language implementation, and product-line
development. GPCE seeks conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and technical
contributions to its topics of interest, which include but are not limited to
(i) program transformation, staging, macro systems, preprocessors, program
synthesis, and code-recommendation systems, (ii) domain-specific languages,
language embedding, language design, and language workbenches, (iii)
feature-oriented programming, domain engineering, and feature interactions,
(iv) applications and properties of code generation, language implementation,
and product-line development.

Abstracts due: Sun June 25, 2017
Submissions due: Sun July 2, 2017
http://2017.splashcon.org/track/gpce-2017/gpce-2017-GPCE-2017


## Software Language Engineering (SLE)

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). SLE solicits high-quality contributions in areas
ranging from theoretical and conceptual contributions to tools, techniques, and
frameworks in the domain of language engineering.

Abstracts due: Fri June 2, 2017
Submissions due: Fri June 9, 2017
http://2017.splashcon.org/track/sle-2017/sle-2017-papers


## SPLASH-E

SPLASH-E is a new (started in 2013) forum for software and languages (SE/PL)
researchers with activities and interests around computing education. Some
build pedagogically-oriented languages or tools; some think about pedagogic
challenges around SE/PL courses; some bring computing to non-CS communities;
some pursue human studies and educational research. At SPLASH-E, we share our
educational ideas and challenges centered in software/languages, as well as our
best ideas for advancing such work. Unlike general conferences on computing
education, SPLASH-E strives to bring together researchers and those with
educational interests that arise from software ideas or concerns.

Submissions due: Thu June 29, 2017
http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-SPLASH-E


## 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.

Submissions due: Sat July 15, 2017
http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-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.

Submissions due: Fri June 30, 2017
http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-Doctoral-Symposium


## Student Research Competition

The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC), sponsored by Microsoft Research,
offers a unique forum for ACM student members at the undergraduate and graduate
levels to present their original research at SPLASH before a panel of judges
and conference attendees. The SRC gives visibility to not only up-and-coming
young researchers, but also exposes them to the field of computer science
research and its community. This competition also gives students an opportunity
to discuss their research with experts in their field, get feedback, and to
help them sharpen their communication and networking skills.

Submissions due: Mon July 17, 2017

7th Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and Applications
https://sites.google.com/site/imla2017toulouse/
<https://sites.google.com/site/imodallogic2013/>

Affiliated with the 29th European Summer School in Logic, Language, and
Information (ESSLLI2017), University of Toulouse (France), 17-28 July, 2017

Constructive modal logics and type theories are of increasing foundational
and practical relevance in computer science. Applications of constructive
modal logics  in type disciplines for programming languages, meta-logics
for reasoning about a variety of computational phenomena and explanatory
frameworks in philosophical logic are everywhere.

The workshop aims at developing and explaining theoretical and
methodological issues around the question of how the proof-theoretic
strengths of constructive logics can best be combined with the
model-theoretic strengths of modal logics. Practical issues center around
the question of which modal connectives with associated laws or proof rules
capture computational phenomena accurately and at the right level of
abstraction.

In its seventh edition, the Workshop on Intuitionistic Modal Logic and
Applications will take  place in Toulouse France, in conjunction with the
29th
ESSLLI <https://www.irit.fr/esslli2017/>.

Topics of interest to this forum include, but are not limited to:

* Modal Logics
* Logical frameworks
* Proof theory
* Type theory
* Automated deduction
* Formal semantics of languages and systems
* Applications

IMLA 2017 also aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing work
in progress, and therefore to provide feedback to authors on their
preliminary research.

*Submissions*

Contributions should be written in English and submitted in the form
of full papers (with a maximum of 12 pages) or short papers (with
a maximum of 6 pages). They must be unpublished and not submitted
simultaneously for publication elsewhere. The papers should be prepared
in latex using EPTCS style. The submission should be in the form of a
PDF file uploaded to IMLA 2017 page at Easychair

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imla2017

until the submission deadline in March 29th, 2017, anywhere on Earth.

At least one of the authors should register for the conference.

The paper presentation should be in English.

*Important Dates*

Paper submission deadline: March 29th, 2017
Author notification: April 15th, 2017
Contribution for Proceedings: 15 May 2017

(e.g. models or traces) submitted through the ARCH?17 EasyChair web site
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arch17). Authors have to use the
EasyChair template (http://www.easychair.org/publications/for_authors).The
extended abstract should be classified in its title as benchmark proposal,
tool presentation, benchmark results, or experience report. Submissions
receive at least 3 anonymous reviews, including one from industry and one
from academia. Details on the evaluation criteria can be found at
http://cps-vo.org/group/ARCH/CallForSubmissions.

The 16th International Symposium on Database Programming Languages
==============================================================================

The 16th International Symposium on Database Programming Languages (DBPL 2017)
will be held in conjunction with VLDB 2017 on September 1st, 2017 in Munich,
Germany.

General Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DBPL is a biennial symposium that aims to foster exchange of ideas and
discussion about current trends and open problems between the data management
and the programming languages research communities. For over 30 years, DBPL
has established itself as the principal venue for publishing and discussing
new ideas and problems at the intersection of data management and programming
languages. Many key contributions relevant to the formal foundations, design,
implementation, and evaluation of query languages (e.g., for object-oriented,
nested, or semi-structured data) were first announced at DBPL.

As an established destination for such new ideas, DBPL aims to solicit
submissions from researchers in databases, programming languages or any other
community interested in the design, implementation or foundations of languages
and systems for data-centric computation. Our main goal is to provide an
inter-disciplinary venue where current trends, open problems, as well as
insights about research methodology for potential solutions can be shared and
discussed between the two communities.

Subject: [TYPES/announce] CFP: IJCAI-2017 Workshop on Declarative Learning
 Based Programming
Message-ID: <2A516134-EE18-413F-B218-B5B6330D97EA@tulane.edu>

CALL FOR PAPERS and PARTICIPANTS
----------------------------------------------------------------
2nd International Workshop on Declarative Learning Based Programming (DeLBP 2017)
In conjunction withTwenty- sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-17), August 19?20, 2017, Melbourne, Australia.
Website: http://delbp.github.io<http://delbp.github.io/>

---------------------------------------------------------------
AIM AND SCOPE
?????????????????????

The main goal of Declarative Learning Based Programming (DeLBP) workshop is to investigate the issues that arise when designing and using programming languages that support learning from data and knowledge.
DeLBP aims at facilitating and simplifying the design and development of intelligent real world applications that use machine learning and reasoning by addressing the following commonly observed challenges: Interaction with messy, naturally occurring data; Specifying the requirements of the application at a high abstraction level; Dealing with uncertainty in data and knowledge in various layers of the application program; Using representations that support flexible relational feature engineering; Using representations that support flexible reasoning and structure learning; Integrating a range of learning and inference algorithms; and finally addressing the above mentioned issues in one unified programming environment.

Conventional programming languages offer no help to application programmers that attempt to design and develop applications that make use of real world data, and reason about it in a way that involves learning interdependent concepts from data, incorporating and composing existing models, and reasoning about existing and trained models and their parametrization. Over the last few years the research community has tried to address these problems from multiple perspectives, most notably various approaches based on Probabilistic programming, Logical Programming and the integrated paradigms. The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss the current related research and the way various challenges have been addressed.

We aim at motivating the need for further research toward a unified framework in this area based on the key existing paradigms: Probabilistic Programming (PP), Logic Programming (LP), Probabilistic Logical Programming (PLP), First-order query languages and database management systems (DBMS) and deductive databases (DDB), Statistical relational learning and related languages (SRL), and connect these to the ideas of Learning Based Programming. We aim to discuss and investigate the required type of languages and representations that facilitate modeling probabilistic or non-probabilistic complex learning models,  deep architectures, and provide the ability to combine, chain and perform flexible inference with existing models and by exploiting domain knowledge. (Website: http://delbp.github.io<http://delbp.github.io/>)

Subject: [TYPES/announce] RERS: 7th International Challenge on the Rigorous
 Examination of Reactive Systems
Message-ID: <CABdH3mCxNCOfswz4d9-0NQ6mxqTiFGGcWJkxmLUYNTfk1T08gw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear colleagues, The *RERS Challenge* *2017*: is the 7th International
Challenge on the Rigorous Examination of Reactive Systems and is *co-located
with ISSTA/SPIN 2017*. The event will be held in *July 2017, in Santa
Barbara, USA*. RERS is designed to encourage software developers and
researchers to apply and combine their tools and approaches in a free style
manner to answer evaluation questions for reachability and LTL formulas on
specifically designed benchmarks. The goal of this challenge is to provide
a basis for the comparison of verification techniques and available tools.
The benchmarks are automatically synthesized to exhibit chosen properties
and then enhanced to include dedicated dimensions of difficulty, ranging
from conceptual complexity of the properties (e.g. reachability, full
safety, liveness), over size of the reactive systems (a few hundred lines
to tens of thousands of them), to exploited language features (arrays and
index arithmetics). They are therefore especially suited for
community-overlapping tool comparisons. What distinguishes RERS from other
challenges is that the challenge problems can be approached in a free-style
manner: it is highly encouraged to combine and exploit all known (even
unusual) approaches to software verification. In particular, participants
are not constrained to their own tools. To clearly separate RERS from other
challenges, this year the LTL analysis is separated from the reachability
of labels. RERS is then the only challenge with a special track for LTL
analysis on synthesized benchmarks. The main aims of RERS 2017 are to : *
encourage the combination of usually different research fields for better
software verification results * provide a comparison foundation based on
differently tailored benchmarks that reveals the strengths and weaknesses
of specific approaches * initiate a discussion for better benchmark
generation reaching out across the usual community barriers to provide
benchmarks useful for testing and comparing a wide variety of tools There
will be a 1 day workshop where the results will be presented, the
generation methodology will be explained, and the modalities for the RERS
2018 challenge, which will be part of ISoLA 2018 will be discussed. There
is still a lot of time to get engaged, and collecting RERS achievements is
a lot of fun! In addition there will be book prices sponsored by Springer.
Schedule: ========= SEQUENTIAL PROBLEMS =================== The sequential
challenge just started. Its entire setup in online since a few days. Thus
you can start right away. At least if you are a RERS newcomer, we would
strongly recommend you to start with the training problems: (
http://www.rers-challenge.org/2017/index.php?page=trainingphase) They are
an ideal starting point for the challenge: They are smaller in size than
the challenge problems but otherwise structurally equivalent. Moreover, an
automatic checker (available on the same page) allows you to evaluate your
own solutions. After having tackled the training problems it should be easy
to move on to attack the challenge problems. PARALLEL PROBLEMS
================= 01.03.2017: The training problems for the parallel
challenge wil be online 01.05.2017: The setup for the parallel challlenge
will be online. *DEADLINE for all submission* ===========================
*01.07.2017*   Please note that we want to specifically encourage also
solutions from participants that work with tools developed by others. More
detailed information on the challenge can be found in the participants
section of www.rers-challenge.org/2017. Looking forward to seeing you in
Santa Barbara! Best regards Bernhard, Falk, Jaco, and Markus

Second Workshop on Programming Models and Languages for Distributed Computing
Co-located with ECOOP 2017, Barcelona, Spain
Date: June 20, 2017

Whether you are programming a rich web application in JavaScript that
mutates state in the client?s browser, or you are building a massively
deployed mobile application that will operate with client state at the
device, it?s undeniable that you are building a distributed system!

Two major challenges of programming distributed systems are
concurrency and partial failure. Concurrency of operations can
introduce accidental nondeterminism: computations may result in
different outcomes with the same inputs given scheduling differences
in the underlying system unless a synchronization mechanism is used to
enforce some order. Synchronization is typically expensive, and
reduces the efficiency of user applications. Partial failure, or the
failure of one or more components in a distributed system at one time,
introduces the challenge of knowing, when an operation fails, which
components of the operation completed successfully. To solve these
problems in practice on an unreliable, asynchronous network, atomic
commit protocols and timeouts as failure detection are typically used.

Because of these challenges, early approaches to providing programming
abstractions for distributed computing that ignored them were
inherently misguided: the canonical example being the Remote Procedure
Call, still widely deployed in industry.

The goal of this workshop is to discuss new approaches to distributed
programming that provide efficient execution and the elimination of
accidental nondeterminism resulting from concurrency and partial
failure. It will bring together both practitioners and theoreticians
from many disciplines: database theory, distributed systems, systems
programming, programming languages, data-centric programming, web
application development, and verification, to discuss the
state-of-the-art of distributed programming, advancement of the
state-of-the-art and paths forward to better application of theory in
practice.

The main objectives of this workshop are the following:

* To review the state-of-the-art research in languages, models, and
systems for distributed programming;
* To identify areas of critical need where research can advance the
state of the art;
* To create a forum for discussion;
* To present open problems from practitioners with an aim towards
motivating academic research on relevant problems faced by industry.

In the spirit of both ECOOP and Curry On, this workshop aims at
favoring a multidisciplinary perspective by bringing together
researchers, developers, and practitioners from both academia and
industry.

Submission Guidelines

We solicit proposals for contributed talks. We recommend preparing
proposals of 2 pages, in ACM 2 column SIGPLAN style, written in
English and in PDF format. However, we will accept longer proposals or

Subject: [TYPES/announce] PhD Positions at Inria Grenoble, France
Message-ID: <364d55a4-c056-45e1-2fb3-38a39480b9ae@cnrs.fr>

The Tyrex research team at Inria Grenoble (http://tyrex.inria.fr)
has open positions for PhD students:

         http://tyrex.inria.fr/jobs.html

In particular, we have an open position on the following topic:

Soundy Analysis Techniques for Web Development

XQuery [1] is the standard language language dedicated to XML data
querying and manipulation. As opposed to other NoSQL languages (and
e.g. XSLT in particular), it has been intended to feature strong
static typing [5].

As emphasized in [4], ?static program analysis is a key component of
many software development tools, including compilers, development
environments, and verification tools. Analyses are often expected to
be sound in that their result models all possible executions of the
program under analysis. Soundness implies that the analysis computes
an over-approximation in order to stay tractable [5]; the analysis
result will also model behaviors that do not actually occur in any
program execution. The precision of an analysis is the degree to which
it avoids such spurious results. Users expect analyses to be sound as
a matter of course, and desire analyses to be as precise as possible,
while being able to scale to large programs.?

It was shown in [2] that sound yet precise static analyses are
possible for an XQuery fragment [2], even for complex expressions that
navigate in XML trees [2,3]. While soundness seems essential for any
kind of static program analysis, approximations and omissions are
usually required for language features when applied to real programs.
This is coined by the recent concept of soundiness [4] which defines
?soundy analyses?: a soundy analysis aims to be as sound as possible
without excessively compromising precision or scalability.

The goal of this internship is to investigate methods of code analysis
which take advantage of sound verification systems developed for
XQuery language fragments in the literature (such as [2]) to
efficiently compute useful guarantees on real XQuery code used in
production.

Specifically, the subject will consist of:

  ? identifying different levels of static analyses corresponding to
    relevant language fragments;
  ? supplementing sound analysis techniques with relevant
    approximations to make the most of them with real-world code;
  ? investigating the concept of soundiness [4] in the context of
    XQuery;
  ? implementing a prototype checker which is capable of running on
    real production code while indicating meaningful guarantees that
    can be provided.

Real-world XQuery code will be provided by a startup in the domain of
XQuery-based web development frameworks.

 FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

                           TABLEAUX 2017
     26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with
               Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
                  University of Brasilia, Brazil
                       September 25-28, 2017

       Deadlines: 18 Apr 2017 (abstract), 25 Apr 2017 (paper)

                  http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/


GENERAL INFORMATION
  TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research
  on all aspects, theoretical foundations, implementation techniques,
  systems development and applications, of the mechanization of
  tableau-based reasoning and related methods is presented. As
  the first TABLEAUX workshop was held in Lautenbach in 1992, this
  year's conference will include special events celebrating 25 years
  of TABLEAUX.

  The conference will be held in Brasilia from 25-28 September 2017.
  It will be co-located with both the 11th International Symposium
  on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017) and the 8th
  International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP
  2017).

TOPICS
  Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for
  automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical
  logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For large groups
  of logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. Areas
  of application include verification of software and computer
  systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its
  required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.

  Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    * tableau methods for classical and non-classical logics
      (including first-order, higher-order, modal, temporal,
      description, hybrid, intuitionistic, substructural,
      relevance, non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic
      foundations;
    * related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking,
      connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
    * sequent calculi and natural deduction calculi for classical
      and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof
      representation;
    * flexible, easily extendable, light weight methods for theorem
      proving;
    * novel types of calculi for theorem proving and verification
      in classical and non-classical logics;
    * systems, tools, implementations, empirical evaluations and
      applications (provers, logical frameworks, model checkers, ...);
    * implementation techniques (data structures, efficient
      algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, ...);
    * extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven
      learning, generation of proofs; compact (or humanly readable)
      representation of proofs;
    * decision procedures, theoretically optimal procedures;
    * applications of automated deduction to mathematics, software
      development, verification, deductive and temporal
      databases, knowledge representation, ontologies, fault
      diagnosis or teaching.

  We also welcome papers describing applications of tableau
  procedures to real world examples. Such papers should be tailored
  to the tableau community and should focus on the role of
  reasoning, and logical aspects of the solution.

POSTER SESSION
  There will be a joint poster session for TABLEAUX 2017, FroCos 2017, and
  ITP 2017. The session is intended for descriptions of work in progress,
  student projects and relevant research being published elsewhere.
  The deadline for posters submission is June 15, 2017. More details can
  be found at http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/#postersession.

PUBLICATION DETAILS
  The conference proceedings will published in the Springer
  LNAI/LNCS series, as in previous editions.

SUBMISSIONS
  Submissions are invited in two categories:

    A  Research papers, which describe original theoretical
       research, original algorithms, or applications, with length
       up to 15 pages.
    B  System descriptions, with length up to 9 pages.

  Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of
  external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance
  and originality.

  For category A, theoretical results and algorithms must be
  original, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
  will be reviewed taking into account correctness, theoretical
  elegance, and possible implementability.

  For category B submissions, a working implementation must be
  accessible via the internet, which includes sources. The aim of a
  system description is to make the system available in such a way
  that users can use it, understand it, and build on it.

  Accepted papers in both categories will be published in the
  conference proceedings. Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the
  llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via
  the EasyChair system:
  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux2017.

  For all accepted papers at least one author is required to attend
  the conference and present the paper. A paper title and a short
  abstract of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper
  submission deadline. Further information about paper submissions
  will be made available at the conference website. Be aware that
  neither plagiarism, nor self-plagiarism, nor duplicate publication
  is acceptable. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files
  can be obtained via

BEST PAPER AWARD
  The TABLEAUX 2017 Best Paper Award will be presented to the best
  submission nominated and chosen by the Program Committee among
  the accepted papers. The eligibility criteria will place emphasis
  on the originality and significance of the contribution, but
  readability and the overall technical quality, including correctness
  and completeness of results, will also be considered. The TABLEAUX
  Best Paper Award was established in 2015 and is a permanent
  initiative of TABLEAUX.

Schedule:

deadline for submissions:  17 Mars 2017

notification to authors:  15 April 2017 
final version due: 19 May 2017 
conference: 17-21 July 2017 

Presentation:

The compositional interpretation of determiners relies on quantifiers  ? in a general acceptation of this later term which includes generalised quantifiers, generics, definite descriptions i.e. any operation that applies to one or several formulas with a free variable, binds it  and yields a formula or possibly a generic term  (the operator is then called a subnector, following Curry). There is a long history of quantification in the Ancient and Medieval times at the border between logic and philosophy of language, before the proper formalisation of quantification by Frege.

A common solution for natural language semantics is the so-called theory of generalised quantifiers. Quantifiers like ? some, exactly two, at most three, the majority of, most of, few, many, ? ? are all described in terms of functions of two predicates viewed as subsets.

Nevertheless, many mathematical and linguistic questions remain open.

On the mathematical side, little is known about generalised , generalised and vague quantifiers, in particular about their proof theory. On the other hand, even for standard quantifiers, indefinites and definite descriptions, there exist alternative formulations with choice functions and generics or subnectors (Russell?s iota, Hilbert-Bernays, eta, epsilon, tau). The computational aspects of these logical frameworks are also worth studying, both for computational linguistic software and for the modelling of the cognitive processes involved in understanding or producing sentences involving quantifiers.

On the linguistic side, the relation between the syntactic structure and its semantic interpretation, quantifier raising, underspecification, scope issues,?  are not fully satisfactory. Furthermore extension of linguistic studies to various languages have shown how complex quantification is in natural language and its relation to phenomena like generics, plurals,  and mass nouns.

Finally, and this can be seen as a link between formal models of quantification and natural language,  there by now exist psycholinguistic experiments that connect formal models and their computational properties to the actual way human do process sentences with quantifiers, and handle their inherent ambiguity, complexity, and difficulty in understanding. 

All those aspects are connected in the didactics of mathematics and computer science: there are specific difficulties to teach (and to learn) how to  understand, manipulate,  produce and  prove quantified statements, and to determine  the proper level of formalisation between bare logical formulas and written or spoken natural language. 

This workshop aims at gathering  mathematicians, logicians, linguists, computer scientists  to present their latest advances in the study of quantification.

Among the topics that wil be addressed are the following :

	? new ideas in quantification in mathematical logic, both model theory and proof theory:
		? choice functions,
		? subnectors (Russell?s iota, Hilbert?s epsilon and tau),
		? higher order quantification,
		? quantification in type theory
	? studies of the lexical, syntactic and semantic of quantification in various languages
	? semantics of noun phrases
	? generic noun phrases
	? semantics of plurals and mass nouns
	? experimental study of quantification and generics
	? computational applications of quantification and polarity especially for question-answering.
	? quantification in the didactics of mathematics and computer science. 


Submissions: 

The program committee is looking for  contributions introducing 
new viewpoints on quantification and determiners,  
the novelty being either in the mathematical logic framework 
or in the linguistic description  or in the cognitive modelling. 
Submitting purely original work is not mandatory,
but authors should clearly mention that the work is not original,
and why they want to present it at this workshop 
(e.g. new viewpoint on already published results) 

Submissions should be 
- 12pt font (at least) 
- 1inch/2.5cm margins all around (at least) 
- less than 2 pages (references exluded)  
- with an abstract of less then 100 words 
and they should be submitted in PDF by easychair here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=quad2017

In case the committee thinks it is more appropriate, 
some papers can be accepted as a poster with a lightning talk. 

Final versions of accepted papers may be slightly longer. 
They will be published on line. 
We also plan to publish postproceedings

  The Racket Summer School of Semantics and Languages 

Imagine yourself confronted with a Mystery Programming Language and 
charged with the task of figuring out its semantics. What would you do? 

What if you have a formal executable semantics and want to build a
production language for it?

If these questions intrigue you, attend the Racket Summer School: 

   http://summer-school.racket-lang.org/2017/

This is not your run-of-the-mill summer school. We will do our best
to make it exciting, entertaining, and useful to a broad spectrum of
attendees, both academic and industrial.

P.S. As soon as you get accepted, we will send you your first problem
set. Get ready.

We?re looking to appoint a professor of Cyber Security at Kent, to head up our existing group, with its Masters course and research activities. The Cyber Security group also sits alongside our Programming Languages and Systems group, and someone with strengths in PL aspects of security would fit very well. 

The advert for a Professor of Cyber Security is live at https://jobs.kent.ac.uk/fe/tpl_kent01.asp?s=4A515F4E5A565B1A&jobid=40739,2141233446&key=49639912&c=824734655621&pagestamp=sesmvkldtcboaxhswn <https://jobs.kent.ac.uk/fe/tpl_kent01.asp?s=4A515F4E5A565B1A&jobid=40739,2141233446&key=49639912&c=824734655621&pagestamp=sesmvkldtcboaxhswn>
and post has been advertised with an associated lectureship in security, so the successful candidate will have a chance to shape that appointment too.

If you?re interested, do think about applying, or get in touch with us. I?d be happy to answer emails, as would Richard Jones, head of school: cs-hos AT kent DOT ac DOT uk

SyGuS-COMP 2017 Call for Solvers and Benchmarks Submission
4th Syntax Guided Synthesis Competition
Satellite event of CAV and SYNT 2017
http://www.sygus.org/SyGuS-COMP2017.html



*Important Dates:*
15 May 2017: Benchmark submission deadline
7 June 2017: Deadline for first version of solvers
14 June 2017: Deadline for final version of solvers and for solver
description
14 July 2017: Results published
22 July 2017: Solvers presentation (at SYNT'17)


*Call for Participation:*This is a call for participation for the 4th
Syntax-Guided Synthesis Competition to be organized as a satellite event of
SYNT/CAV 2017.
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.

There has been a lot of recent interest in both using SyGuS solvers for
various synthesis applications and developing different solving algorithms.
The SyGuS competition (SyGuS-Comp'17) 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 by Rajeev Alur (Penn), Dana
Fisman (Ben-Gurion
University), Rishabh Singh (Microsoft Research), and Armando Solar-Lezama
(MIT). For questions regarding the competition please contact the
organizers at sygus-organizers at seas.upenn.edu.


*Tracks:*This year's competition will have 4 tracks: 1) General SyGuS
track, 2) Invariant Synthesis track, 3) Conditional Linear Integer
Arithmetic track, and 4) Programming By Examples (PBE). More details about
the tracks can be found in the extended SyGuS-IF
<http://sygus.seas.upenn.edu/files/SyGuS-Syntax-SyGuSCOMP'15.pdf>. The
results of the 3rd SyGuS competition can be found here
<http://www.sygus.org/files/SyGuSComp16.pdf>.


*Benchmarks for the competition:*We will evaluate the solvers on a subset
of public benchmarks and some secret benchmarks. The domains of benchmarks
include bit-vector manipulation, including bit-vector algorithms,
concurrency, robotics, string transformations, and invariant generation. We
are still finalizing the set of benchmarks, and would appreciate your
contribution to the benchmarks as well.


*Evaluation:*Evaluation of the solvers will be done on the StarExec 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 the
solvers from last year's competition are available on the SyGuS community
at StarExec. Candidate participants are invited to register on StarExec
where they can easily compare their solvers to the previous ones against
the public benchmarks. The scoring will take into account the number of
benchmarks solved, the solving time, and the size 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.

interactive theorem proving, ranging from theoretical foundations to
implementation aspects and applications in program verification,
security, and formalization of mathematics. ITP is the evolution of
the TPHOLs conference series to the broad field of interactive theorem
proving. TPHOLs meetings took place every year from 1988 until
2009. The eighth ITP conference, ITP 2017, will be held at
Universidade de Brasilia, September 26-29, 2017.

SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
ITP welcomes submissions describing original research on all aspects
of interactive theorem proving and its applications. Suggested topics
include but are not limited to the following:

*  formal aspects of hardware and software
*  formalizations of mathematics
*  improvements in theorem prover technology
*  user interfaces for interactive theorem provers
*  formalizations of computational models
*  verification of security algorithms
*  use of theorem provers in education
*  industrial applications of interactive theorem provers
*  concise and elegant worked examples of formalizations (proof pearls)

PUBLICATION DETAILS
The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Springer's LNCS series.

** After the conference the authors of selected papers will be invited
to submit revised papers for a special issue of the Journal of Automated
Reasoning.  **

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
concurrently for publication elsewhere. Furthermore, when appropriate,
submissions are expected to be accompanied by verifiable evidence of
a suitable implementation, such as the source files of a formalization
for the proof assistant used. Submissions should be no more than
16 pages in length and are to be submitted in PDF via EasyChair at
the following address:

   https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=itp2017

Submissions must conform to the LNCS style in LaTeX. Authors of
accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the conference
and will be required to a sign copyright release form.

In addition to regular papers, described above, there will be a rough
diamond section. Rough diamond submissions are limited to 6 pages
and may consist of an extended abstract. They will be refereed and be

  About Brussels
***********************************************************************

Brussels is the capital of Belgium, and home to the headquarters of the 
European Union. Despite its European nature and all the different 
languages spoken on every street corner, Brussels still has a very 
"village-like"? character. It's well known for its Grand-Place, its 
Atomium, its Manneken-Pis, its Gueuze and its Kriek, its waffles and its 
chocolates. Be sure to take some time off to soak up the special 
atmosphere of its many different districts: Take a stroll to Rue 
Dansaert, Halles Saint-G?ry, and Place Sainte-Catherine. Head for 
Saint-Boniface, Ch?telain, or Flagey. In other words, go ahead and 
relish Brussels, a fine and beautiful city to explore and discover.

Permanent appointments with 5 years protected time for high-quality research

Closing date: 31 March 2017
------

Birmingham University has made a call for applications to its
"Birmingham Fellowship" posts, 40 in all across the University:

   http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/excellence/fellows/index.aspx

Despite the name these are permanent appointments, but with the first 5
years being protected time for high-quality research.

I'm sending this message on behalf of the Theory Group in the School of
Computer Science, to encourage applicants.

The Theory group specializes in bringing together diverse areas of
mathematics (such as logic, type theory, category theory, topology),
generally for applications to computer science (such as programming
languages and their semantics), but also for the intrinsic interest of
the mathematical interactions. If you don't already know of our work,
you can see more on our group page

   http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/groupings/theory/index.php

and on our individual pages linked from there.

You are welcome to make informal approaches to any of us. Dr Noam
Zeilberger <zeilbern at cs.bham.ac.uk>, who was appointed as a Birmingham
Fellow in 2016 after research positions at INRIA in Paris, can give you
insights into how the scheme works in practice.

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
sixth 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
studying 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:

*  Stephanie Delaune (IRISA France):
   Verification of security protocols: from confidentiality to privacy
   Abstract:
   Security protocols are widely used today to secure transactions that take
   place through public channels like the Internet. Typical functionalities
   are the transfer of a credit card number or the authentication of a
user on
   a system. Because of their increasing ubiquity in many important
   applications (e.g. electronic commerce, smartphone, government-issued ID
   . . . ), a very important research challenge consists in developing
methods
   and verification tools to increase our trust on security protocols,
and so
   on the applications that rely on them.

   Formal methods offer symbolic models to carefully analyse security
   protocols, together with a set of proof techniques and efficient
tools such
   as ProVerif. These methods build on techniques from model-checking,
   automated reasoning and concurrency theory. We will explain how security
   protocols as well as the security properties they are supposed to achieve
   are formalised in symbolic models. Then, we will describe and discuss
   techniques to automatically verify different kinds of security
   properties. The lab sessions will be the opportunity to play with the
   ProVerif verification tool.

*  Marjijn Heule (University of Texas at Austin):
   State-of-the-art SAT Solving
   Abstract:
   Satisfiability (SAT) solvers have become powerful search engines to
solve a
   wide range of applications in fields such as formal verification,
planning
   and bio-informatics. Due to the elementary representation of SAT
problems,
   many low-level optimizations can be implemented. At the same time, there
   exist clause-based techniques that can simulate several high-level
   reasoning methods. The teaching session focuses on the search
procedures in
   successful conflict-driven clause learning SAT solvers. It shows how to
   learn from conflicts and provides an overview of effective heuristics for
   variable and value selection. Additionally, the teaching session covers
   recent developments, in particular a technique used in today's strongest
   solvers: the alternation between "classic" depth-first search with
   learning, and breadth-first search for simplification.

*  K. Rustan M. Leino (Microsoft Research, Redmond WA):
   Verified programs and proofs in Dafny
   Abstract:
   In these lectures, you will learn and practice the foundations of program
   verification, like pre- and postcondition specifications, loop
invariants,
   termination, proofs, and induction. Dafny is a programming language that
   includes specifications and proof-authoring features. The lectures
and labs
   will give you hands-on experience in using the Dafny to write and specify
   programs, both imperative and functional, and to write mechanically
checked
   proofs.

*  Sam Blackshear (Facebook):
   Building compositional static analyzers with Infer
   Abstract:
   Infer is an open-source static analysis tool used to find bugs in Java,
   Objective-C, and C++ code at Facebook. Recently, Infer has transitioned
   from a standalone separation logic-based analyzer into a general
framework
   for quickly developing modular and compositional interprocedural
   analyses. The framework lifts a simple intraprocedural abstract
interpreter
   that computes the summary for a single procedure to a compositional
   interprocedural analysis that scales to millions of lines of code.

*  Ashish Tiwari (SRI International Computer Science Laboratory):
   Formal Techniques for Analyzing Hybrid Systems
   Abstract:
   Hybrid dynamical systems combine discrete state transition systems with
   continuous dynamical systems. They are used to model complex systems that
   have interacting discrete and continuous components, or systems that are
   broadly referred to as cyber-physical systems. This course will cover the
   basics of hybrid systems, and it will delve deeper into the verification
   problem and the various approaches for analyzing hybrid systems. The lab
   sessions will involve using tools for verification of hybrid systems.

The main lectures in the summer school will be preceded by a background
course on
logic taught by  Natarajan Shankar (SRI)and Stephane Graham-Lengrand
(Ecole Polytechnique)
on

* Speaking Logic
  Abstract: Formal logic has become the lingua franca of computing. It
is used
  for specifying digital systems, annotating programs with assertions,
  defining the semantics of programming languages, and proving or refuting
  claims about software or hardware systems. Familiarity with the
language and
  methods of logic is a foundation for research into formal aspects of
  computing. This course covers the basics of logic focusing on the use of
  logic as a medium for formalization and proof.

Note: The school is preceded by the 9th NASA Formal Methods Symposium
(NFM) 2017 (https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/events/nfm-2017/) and the
associated sixth Automated Formal Methods (AFM) 2017
(http://fm.csl.sri.com/AFM17/) workshop. On May 20 there will be an
AFM tutorial day that students are encouraged to attend.

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), Coimbra (Portugal  2014),
Washington DC (USA 2015) and Bialystok (Poland 2016).

This  is a  call for  papers  for CICM  2017,  which will  be held  in
Edinburgh, Scotland, July 17-21, 2017. CICM 2017 also invites work-in-
progress papers.

8th IWACO International Workshop on Aliasing, Capabilities and Ownership (IWACO)
Co-located with ECOOP
Monday June 19th, 2017, Barcelona, Spain
http://2017.ecoop.org/track/iwaco-2017-papers

## Important Dates:
Paper submission: April 26th, 2017
Notification: May 25th, 2017
Final version: June 8th, 2017
Workshop: June 19th, 2017

(All deadlines AoE)

## Aim and Scope
Stable object identity and shared mutable state are two powerful principles in object oriented programming. The ability to create aliases to mutable objects allows a direct modelling of sharing that occurs naturally in a domain, and lies at the heart of efficient programming patterns where aliases provide shortcuts to key places in a data structure. In a concurrent setting however, aliasing is at the root of data-races and low-level bugs as multiple threads can directly access shared objects.

Coping with pointers, aliasing and the proliferation of shared mutable state is a problem that crosscuts the software development stack, from compilers and run-times to bug-finding tools and end-user software. They complicate modular reasoning and program analysis, efficient code generation, efficient use of memory, and obfuscate program logic.

Several techniques have been introduced to describe and reason about stateful programs, and to restrict, analyze, and prevent aliases. These include various forms of ownership types, capabilities, separation logic, linear logic, uniqueness, sharing control, escape analysis, argument independence, read-only references, linear references, effect systems, and access control mechanisms. These tools have found their way into type systems, compilers and interpreters, run-time systems and bug-finding tools.

IWACO?17 will focus on these techniques, on how they can be used to reason about  stateful (sequential or concurrent) programs, and how they have been applied to programming languages. In particular, we will consider papers on:
- models, type systems and other formal systems, programming language mechanisms, analysis and design techniques, patterns and notations for expressing ownership, aliasing, capabilities, uniqueness, and related topics;
- empirical studies of programs or experience reports from programming systems designed with these techniques in mind;
- programming logics that deal with aliasing and/or shared state, or use ownership, capabilities or resourcing;
- applications of capabilities, ownership and other similar type systems in low-level systems such as programming languages runtimes, virtual machines, or compilers; and
- optimization techniques, analysis algorithms, libraries, applications, and novel approaches exploiting ownership, aliasing, capabilities, uniqueness, and related topics.

## Submissions
Contributions may be submitted in two formats:
- Short papers (up to 3 pages, excluding references and clearly marked appendices) describing new ideas and open questions for discussion.
- Full papers (up to 8 pages, excluding references and clearly marked appendices) describing (preliminary) research results.

Submissions must be in English and use the LNCS template.

Papers must be submitted via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwaco2017, by April 26th.

There will be a post-proceedings special issue at JOT (http://www.jot.fm) for full papers, which will be subject to a further round of reviews.

BACKGROUND

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

The TYPES areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

 * foundations of type theory and constructive mathematics;
 * 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 encourage talks proposing new ways of applying type theory. In the
spirit of workshops, talks may be based on newly published papers,
work submitted for publication, but also work in progress.


FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The last two days of TYPES 2017, May 31 - June 1 are supported by and
organised under the auspices of EUTypes Cost Action CA15123

Postdoctoral Researcher in Semantics and Tools for Quantum Programming Languages


Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position beginning July 1 and running through November 30, 2018. There is a possibility of an extension beyond November, 2018, depending on funding. The position is in the Department of Computer Science at Tulane University, and will be under the supervision of Professor Michael Mislove.


The successful applicant will work on a project entitled "Semantics, Formal Reasoning, and Tool Support for Quantum Programming?. The project involves designing high-level semantic models and tools to support quantum functional programming languages. A prototype language is Proto-Quipper, which has been  under development (http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/quipper/ ). This language uses the circuit model for quantum computation, and envisions languages that support quantum computation under classical control. The overall aim is to design type-safe functional programming languages for quantum computing. The project also involves developing the meta-theory (including categorical semantics) of such languages, and eventually to formalize some of the meta-theory in a proof assistant. The focus of the Tulane work is modeling recursion in such languages, which requires developing quantum domain theory, but interactions with other aspects of the project are expected.


Familiarity with programming language design, and / or semantics is a prerequisite of the position. The latter includes categorical semantics and domain theory. A good knowledge of category theory is also a prerequisite. Of course, familiarity with quantum computing is helpful. Additional components of the project will address issues around quantum information such as non-locality and contextuality,

adapting proof assistants (Coq, Agda, Lean, etc) to develop automated verification for quantum programming languages, and developing quantum routers.


Although the position is at Tulane University, candidates may travel to the other sites where work on this project is taking place. These include UPenn, UIowa and Stanford in the US, as well as McGill University and Dalhousie University in Canada and Oxford and Edinburgh

in the UK.


To apply for this position, direct your browser to the link: https://apply.interfolio.com/41053

Funding for the project comes from the DOD and the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

                   ECOOP 2017 - DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM
        The 31st European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming
                   19-23 June 2017, Barcelona, Spain
         co-located with PLDI 2017 and other events

              http://2017.ecoop.org  #ECOOP2017  @ECOOPconf
******************************************************************


The ECOOP Doctoral Symposium provides a forum for PhD students at any
stage in their research to get detailed feedback and advice.
The objectives of this event are to:
- allow students to practise writing clearly and present their research 
effectively;
- receive constructive feedback from experienced researchers and peers;
- offer opportunities to form research collaborations;
- interact with other researchers at the ECOOP and PLDI.


FORMAT
The symposium is a full-day of interactive presentations. It starts
with lightning talks where each student gives an ?elevator pitch? of
their research. Next, each student give a formal presentation followed
by questions and discussions.

Besides the formal presentations, there will be opportunities for
informal interactions during breaks, lunch and dinner. Famous
researchers will give talks on topics related to PhD studies and
exploring possibilities beyond your doctorate.

SUBMISSIONS
We have two distinct submission categories: junior and senior
submissions. Junior students may not yet have developed a thesis
topic, they will present their research ideas and any progress to
date. Senior students are expected to give an outline of their thesis
topic and will feedback towards the successful completion of their
thesis and defence.

Submissions are done through
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecoop17ds
and are due on April 21, AOE.

A) Junior PhD Students
Submit a 4?8 page research proposal in the Dagstuhl LIPIcs format with:
- a problem description
- a detailed sketch of a proposed approach
- related work
It is not necessary to present concrete results. Instead, try to
inform the reader that you have a (well-motivated) problem and present
a possible solution. Attempt to provide a clear road map detailing
future research efforts.

The research proposal should include the name and email of your PhD
advisor.

B) Senior PhD Students
The experience for senior Students 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 in).
The students should be able to present:
- the importance of the problem
- a clear research proposal
- some preliminary work
- an evaluation plan

Please submit a 4?8 page abstract in the Dagstuhl LIPIcs format with the 
following:
1. Problem Description
      What is the problem?
      What is the significance of this problem?
      Why can the current state of the art not solve this problem?
2. Goal Statement
      What is the goal of your research?
      What artifacts (tools, theories, methods) will be produced,
      how do they address the stated problem?
3. Method

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

The goal of the International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is to integrate theory and practice in the field of performance engineering by providing a forum for sharing ideas and experiences between industry and academia. Nowadays, complex systems of all types, like Web-based systems, data centers and cloud infrastructures, social networks, peer-to-peer, mobile and wireless systems, cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, real-time and embedded systems, have increasingly distributed and dynamic system architectures that provide high flexibility, however, also increase the complexity of managing end-to-end application performance.

ICPE brings together researchers and industry practitioners to share and present their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering of software and systems, including performance measurement, modeling, benchmark design, and run-time performance management. The focus is both on classical metrics such as response time, throughput, resource utilization, and (energy) efficiency, as well as on the relationship of such metrics to other system properties including but not limited to scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability, and security.

Arif Merchant
(Google)

Title: Autonomic storage management at scale

Abstract:
Cloud data centers use enormous amounts of storage, and it is critical to monitor, manage, and optimize the storage autonomically. Optimally configuring storage is difficult because storage workloads are very diverse and change over time. Data centers measure running workloads, but this measurement data stream is itself quite large. We present some real world case studies in the use of big data techniques, sampling, and optimization to manage storage in data centers.

Short bio:
Arif Merchant is a Research Scientist at Google and leads the Storage Analytics group, which studies interactions between components of the storage stack. His interests include distributed storage systems, storage management, and stochastic modeling. He holds the B.Tech. degree from IIT Bombay and the Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University. He is an ACM Distinguished Scientist.

Francesco Quaglia
(University of Rome "La Sapienza")

Title: Performance is Also a Matter of Where You Live

Abstract:
Nowadays, a plethora of techniques and methods are available to optimize the runtime behavior of complex applications, ranging from modeling/prediction tools to the employment of recognized patterns and/or knowledge-bases on the expected performance under specific workloads. However, in common scenarios, the ultimate applications' behavior may depend on features that are scarcely predictable or difficult to be taken into account when designing the applications and their own runtime optimizers. Among them, we mention the actual structure of the underlying hardware and/or virtualized platforms, as well as specific runtime dynamics such as thread correlation on data and synchronization---not much the average behavior, rather punctual effects. We believe that the environment where applications live, like operating systems and user-space runtime libraries, play a central role in coping with these features. We similarly believe that such environments must be re-staged so as to be actually effective in pursuing the performance optimization goal. In this talk, we discuss specific guidelines to re-stage the environments, based on a real experience, and we point as well to challenges that are still untackled and deserve attention by the research community.

Thomas Wuerthinger
(Oracle Labs)

Title: Micro-Benchmarking Considered Harmful
Subtitle: When the Whole is Faster or Slower Than the Sum of its Parts

Abstract:
Measuring the time spent on small individual fractions of program code is a common technique for analysing performance behavior and detecting performance bottlenecks. The benefits of the approach include a detailed individual attribution of performance and understandable feedback loops when experimenting with different code versions. There are however severe pitfalls when following this approach that can lead to vastly misleading results. Modern optimizing compilers use complex optimization techniques that take a large part of the program into account. There can be therefore unexpected side-effects when combining different code snippets or even when running a presumably unrelated part of the code. This talk will present performance paradoxes with examples from the domain of dynamic compilation of Java programs. Furthermore, it will discuss an alternative approach to modelling code performance characteristics that takes the challenges of complex optimising compilers into account.

Short Bio:
Thomas Wuerthinger is a Senior Research Director at Oracle Labs leading programming language implementation teams for languages including Java, JavaScript, Ruby, and R. He is the architect of the Graal compiler and the Truffle self-optimizing runtime system. Previously, he worked on the Crankshaft optimizing compiler of V8 at Google, and the Maxine research virtual machine at Sun Microsystems. He received a PhD degree from JKU Linz for his research about dynamic code evolution.

 <http://ccc2014.fmf.uni-lj.si/>
CCC is a workshop series bringing together researchers from exact real number computation, computable analysis, effective descriptive set theory, constructive analysis, and related areas. 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 2009, Trier 2012, Gregynog 2013, Ljubljana 2014, and Kochel 2015. The conference series has always been linked with EU-funded international research projects,  with COMPUTAL (Computable Analysis) in the years 2012-2015 and now with CID (Computing with Infinite Data), a research network between Europe, Chile, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and the USA. This conference is the first CID event, but is open to all researchers in the area. 

The workshop will take place in Nancy, France.

Scope: The workshop specifically invites contributions in the areas of
Exact real number computation,
Correctness of algorithms on infinite data,
Computable analysis,

Presentation:

The compositional interpretation of determiners relies on quantifiers  ? in a general acceptation of this later term which includes generalised quantifiers, generics, definite descriptions i.e. any operation that applies to one or several formulas with a free variable, binds it  and yields a formula or possibly a generic term  (the operator is then called a subnector, following Curry). There is a long history of quantification in the Ancient and Medieval times at the border between logic and philosophy of language, before the proper formalisation of quantification by Frege.

A common solution for natural language semantics is the so-called theory of generalised quantifiers. Quantifiers like ? some, exactly two, at most three, the majority of, most of, few, many, ? ? are all described in terms of functions of two predicates viewed as subsets.

Nevertheless, many mathematical and linguistic questions remain open.

On the mathematical side, little is known about generalised , generalised and vague quantifiers, in particular about their proof theory. On the other hand, even for standard quantifiers, indefinites and definite descriptions, there exist alternative formulations with choice functions and generics or subnectors (Russell?s iota, Hilbert-Bernays, eta, epsilon, tau). The computational aspects of these logical frameworks are also worth studying, both for computational linguistic software and for the modelling of the cognitive processes involved in understanding or producing sentences involving quantifiers.

On the linguistic side, the relation between the syntactic structure and its semantic interpretation, quantifier raising, underspecification, scope issues,?  are not fully satisfactory. Furthermore extension of linguistic studies to various languages have shown how complex quantification is in natural language and its relation to phenomena like generics, plurals,  and mass nouns.

Finally, and this can be seen as a link between formal models of quantification and natural language,  there by now exist psycholinguistic experiments that connect formal models and their computational properties to the actual way human do process sentences with quantifiers, and handle their inherent ambiguity, complexity, and difficulty in understanding. 

All those aspects are connected in the didactics of mathematics and computer science: there are specific difficulties to teach (and to learn) how to  understand, manipulate,  produce and  prove quantified statements, and to determine  the proper leve
