<p class="MsoNormal"> * Website : https://popl23.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2023<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> * Time : 16th--17th January 2023<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> * Place : Boston, Massachusetts, United States <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Manipulation (PEPM) has a history going back to 1991 and has been<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">co-located with POPL every year since 2006. It originated with the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">discoveries of useful automated techniques for evaluating<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">programs with only partial input. Over the years, the scope of PEPM<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">has expanded to include a variety of research areas centred around the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">theme of semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">exploitation of treating programs not only as subjects to black-box<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">execution but also as data structures that can be generated,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">analysed, and transformed while establishing or maintaining important<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">semantic properties.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scope<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-----<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2023<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">welcomes submissions in new domains, in particular:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> * Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> program optimisation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> * Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> and concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> linear types, and contract specifications.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2023 include, but are not<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">limited to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> * Program and model manipulation techniques such as:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> supercompilation, partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> adaptation, active libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> execution, refactoring, decompilation, and obfuscation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> * Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> programming, staged computation, and model-driven program<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> generation and transformation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> * Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> manipulation such as: abstract interpretation, termination<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> checking, binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> automated testing and test case generation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> * Application of the above techniques including case studies of<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> program manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> projects and software development processes, descriptions of<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> applications, benchmarking. Examples of application domains<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> include legacy program understanding and transformation, DSL<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> implementations, visual languages and end-user programming,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> scientific computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> needed for distributed and web-based applications, embedded and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> resource-limited computation, and security.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">submissions describing new theories and applications related to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">semantics-based program manipulation in general. If you have a<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">question as to whether a potential submission is within the scope of<o:p></o:p></p>
