SCOPE

The role of types and proofs in all aspects of language design,
compiler construction, and software development has expanded greatly
in recent years. Type systems, type-based analyses and type-theoretic
deductive systems have been central to advances in compilation
techniques for modern programming languages, verification of safety
and security properties of programs, program transformation and
optimization, and many other areas. The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Types
in Language Design and Implementation brings researchers together to
share new ideas and results concerning all aspects of types and
programming, and is now an annual event.

COORDINATION
12th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/COORDINATION

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

* Scope *

Coordination 2010 seeks high-quality papers on programming languages
and coordination models, middleware, services, and algorithms that
separate behavior from interaction, therefore increasing modularity,
simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software
development. The conference focuses on the design and implementation
of models that allow compositional construction of large-scale
concurrent and distributed systems, including both practical and
foundational models, run-time systems, and related verification and
analysis techniques.

Past incarnations of Coordination have emphasized foundations.
However, given the increasing importance of concurrency in almost
every software domain, the organizers of Coordination 2010 are keen
to provide a strong forum for high-quality papers that address
practical aspects of concurrent programming models; for example,
application of concurrency to novel domains, comparisons of
alternative programming models on important problems, or
domain-specific languages.

* Publication *

Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the
conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
LNCS series.

* Program Committee Chairs *

Dave Clarke Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Gul Agha University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

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

DAIS
10th IFIP International Conference on
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/DAIS

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

* 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 in 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.

* Publication *

Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the
conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
LNCS series.

Extended versions of selected best papers published in DAIS'10 will
be invited for publication in a dedicated special issue of
Wiley Software: Practice and Experience

* Program Committee Chairs *

Frank Eliassen University of Oslo, Norway
Ruediger Kapitza University of Erlangen, Germany

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

FMOODS & FORTE
12th IFIP International Conference on
Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems
30th IFIP International Conference on
FORmal TEchniques for Networked and Distributed Systems
http://discotec.project.cwi.nl/FmoodsForte

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

* Scope *

The joined conference FMOODS & FORTE is a forum for fundamental
research on theory and applications of distributed systems. The
conference solicits original contributions that advance the science
and technologies for distributed systems, in particular
in the areas of:

* component- and model-based design
* object technology, modularity, software adaptation
* service-oriented, ubiquitous, pervasive, grid and mobile
computing
* software quality, reliability and security

The conference encourages contributions that combine theory and
practice, address problems from the development of distributed
systems, and present novel solutions with formal methods and
theoretical foundations. FMOODS & FORTE covers distributed computing
models and formal specification, testing and verification methods.
The application domains include all kinds of application-level
distributed systems, telecommunication services, Internet, embedded
and real time systems, as well as networking and communication
security and reliability.

* Publication *

Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the
conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
LNCS series.

* Program Committee Chairs *

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

PLPV 2010

The Fourth ACM SIGPLAN Workshop
on
Programming Languages meets Program Verification

19 January 2010
Madrid, Spain

To be held in conjunction with POPL 2010

http://slang.soe.ucsc.edu/plpv10/
*********************************************************************


IMPORTANT DATES

Hotel reservation deadline: December 28, 2009 (Monday)


VENUE

PLPV'10 and all POPL'10 affiliated events will take place at the Melia
Castilla Hotel, Madrid.


REGISTRATION

To register for PLPV'10, follow the link from the POPL 2010 page, at

http://www.cse.psu.edu/popl/10/


SCOPE

The goal of PLPV is to foster and stimulate research at the
intersection of programming languages and program verification. Work
in this area typically attempts to reduce the burden of program
verification by taking advantage of particular semantic and/or
structural properties of the programming language. One example is
dependently typed programming languages, which leverage a language's
type system to specify and check richer than usual specifications,
possibly with programmer-provided proof terms. Another example is
extended static checking systems like ESC/Java and Spec#, which
incorporate pre- and postconditions along with a static verifier for
these contracts.

[Caml-list] Memocode 2010 First Call for Papers

MEMOCODE 2010 First Call for Papers

The eighth ACM-IEEE International Conference on Formal Methods and
Models for Codesign (MEMOCODE 2010) will be held
on July 26-28, 2010 in Grenoble, France.

http://www.memocode-conference.com

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

IMPORTANT DATES:

Abstract submission deadline: February 26, 2010
Paper submission deadline: March 5, 2010
Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2010
Poster submission deadline: May 14, 2010
Notification for Posters: May 28, 2010
Final Version for Papers: May 28, 2010

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

The eighth MEMOCODE conference will attract researchers and
practitioners who create methods, tools, and architectures for the
design of hardware/software systems. These systems face increasing
design complexity including tighter constraints on timing, power, costs,
and reliability. MEMOCODE seeks submissions that present novel formal
methods and design techniques addressing these issues to create, refine,
and verify hardware/software systems. We also invite
application-oriented papers, and especially encourage submissions that
highlight the design perspective of formal methods and models, including
success stories and demonstrations of hardware/software codesign.
Furthermore, we invite poster presentations describing ongoing work with
promising preliminary results.

Topics of interest for regular submissions include but are not limited to
- system- and transaction-level modeling and verification, abstraction
and refinement between different modeling levels, formal, semi-formal,
and specification-driven verification,
- design and verification methods for composition of concurrent systems:
multi-core platform architectures, systems-on-chip, networks-on-chip,
- non-traditional and domain-specific design languages for hardware and
software, novel models of computation, and new design paradigms that
unify hardware and software design,
- system-level estimation of performance and power in heterogeneous
hardware/software architectures,
- applications and demonstrators of formal design methodologies and case
studies of innovative system-level design flows, and
- modeling and reuse of intellectual property at system-level.

PROCEEDINGS:

Conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

SUBMISSION:

Submissions of research and experience papers will only be accepted
through the conference web site. Papers must not exceed 10 pages and
must be formatted following IEEE Computer Society guidelines.
Submissions must be written in English, describe original work, and not
substantially overlap papers that have been published or are being
submitted to a journal or another conference with published proceedings.
Poster submissions should consist of an abstract of at most 250 words.
The abstract will be distributed to the conference attendants but will
not be published. Note that the poster deadline is different from the
paper deadline.

DESIGN CONTEST:

MEMOCODE will again have a design contest. The contest will start March
1, 2010. The deadline for submission is 31 March 2010 and the
notification of the results is on May 14, 2010. The conference will
sponsor at least two prize categories, each with a significant cash
award. We awarded a $1000 prize in each of the two categories in 2009.
Each team that submits a complete and working entry will be invited to
submit for review a 2-page abstract for the formal conference
proceedings; winning teams will be invited to contribute a 4-page short
paper. Each team submitting a completed and working entry will also
receive a commemorative plaque with their name and results. Please refer
to the conference website for more information and updates.

TUTORIALS:

MEMOCODE will feature tutorials related to hardware/software codesign.
Please send your tutorial proposals to alain.girault@inria.fr.

(http://www.entcs.org). Submissions should be sent by e-mail to
wgt@aszt.inf.elte.hu.

Accepted workshop papers are published in the local proceedings. After
the workshop the participants are invited for submission to journal ENTCS
(only research papers). The workshop organizers have intention to set the
deadline of this second submission being later then the notification on
GPCE papers. Hence authors have opportunity to send their paper to GPCE
and if rejected, send to ENTCS without violating usual resubmission policy.

[Caml-list] DiScoTec 2010: Call for Workshop Proposals

[We apologize for multiple copies]


DisCoTec 2010

5th International Federated Conferences on
Distributed Computing Techniques

Amsterdam, Netherlands, 7-9 June 2010

Call for Workshop Proposals


A workshop is intended to provide a forum for members of a focused research
community to present preliminary research results and discuss position-style
papers. Workshops are alternative forums for presenting full research
papers. As such, organizers are encouraged to adopt an format that fosters
interaction and discussion, devoting less focus to individual, formal
presentations.

DisCoTec 2010 invites proposals for one day workshops to be held in
conjunction with the main events. Prospective workshop organizers are
requested to follow the guidelines below and are encouraged to contact the
workshop chair should any questions arise.


Important Dates

Workshop proposal deadline: December 17, 2009
Workshop proposal notification: December 23, 2009
Workshop: June 10, 2010

Submission and notification deadlines of the workshops are at the discretion
of the individual workshop organizers, however notification must be no later
than the early registration deadline for the main conference.


Proposal Submission Guidelines

Workshop proposals must be written in English, not exceed 5 pages with a
reasonable font and margin, and be submitted in PDF format via email to
Marcello Bonsangue (marcello@liacs.nl).

Proposals should include the following information:

* The title, theme, and goals of the workshop.
* The targeted audience and the expected minimum and maximum number of
participants. We prefer that workshops remain open to participation
from any members of the community, but by-invitation-only workshops
will also be considered. Please explicitly state your preference.
* The publicity strategy that will be used by the workshop organizers
to promote the workshop.
* The participant solicitation and selection process.
* Publication plan. Each workshop is responsible for managing its own
publication (e.g., pre- or post- proceedings), if any is desired.
* Approximate budget proposal (see section Budget below for details).
* A preliminary version of the call for papers. This CFP must include
important dates including submission, notification, and camera-ready
deadlines.
* The equipment and any other resource necessary for the organization
of the workshop.
* A brief description of the organizer's background, including relevant
past experience on organizing workshops and contact information.

Review Process

Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the following committee:

* Frank S. de Boer, CWI, NL (DiScoTec 2010 General Chair)
* Marcello M. Bonsangue, University of Leiden, NL (Workshops Chair)
* Immo Grabe, CWI, NL
* Stephanie Kemper, CWI, NL
* Alexandra Silva, CWI, NL

Acceptance is based on an evaluation of the workshop's potential for
generating useful results, the timeliness and expected interest in the
topic, the organizer's ability to lead a successful workshop, and
potential for attracting sufficient number of participants.

Workshop Publicity

Workshop publicity is responsability of the organizers. In particular they
are responsible for the following items:

1. A workshop description (200 words) for inclusion on the DisCoTec site.
2. Hosting and maintaining web pages to be linked from the DisCoTec site.
Workshop coordinators can integrate their pages into the wiki-page of
DisCoTec 2010.
3. Workshop proceedings, if any. If there is enough interest, the
organizer of DiScoTec 2010 may contact Elevier for having a common
volume of the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(http://info.eptcs.org/) dedicated to the workshops of DiScoTec 2010.
4. Publicising the event.

Budget

DisCoTec will provide registration and organizational support for the
workshops. Registration fees must be paid for all participants, including
organizers and invited guests.

To cover lunches, coffee breaks and basic organizational expenses, all
workshops will be required to charge a minimum participation fee (the
precise amount is still to be determined). Each workshop may increase this
fee to cover additional expenses such as publication charges, student
scholarships, registration for invited speakers, etc. All fees will be
collected by the DisCoTec organizers as part of the registration, then
additional funds will be redistributed to the individual workshop
organizers.

kept it from working in a particular application.

Abbreviated instructions for authors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By 2 April 2010, 14:00 UTC, submit an abstract of at most 300 words
and a full paper of at most 12 pages (6 pages for an Experience
Report), including bibliography and figures. The deadline will be
strictly enforced and papers exceeding the page limits will be
summarily rejected. Authors have the option to attach supplementary
material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may
choose not to look at it.

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

Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as
explained on the web at http://www.acm.org/sigplan/republicationpolicy.htm.

Proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted
submissions are expected to transfer the copyright to the
ACM. Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the
presenter consents by signing an additional permission form at the
time of the presentation. Formatting: Submissions must be in PDF
format printable in black and white on US Letter sized paper and
interpretable by Ghostscript. If this requirement is a hardship, make
contact with the program chair at least one week before the
deadline. Papers must adhere to the standard ACM conference format:
two columns, nine-point font on a ten-point baseline, with columns
20pc (3.33in) wide and 54pc (9in) tall, with a column gutter of 2pc
(0.33in). A suitable document template for LATEX is available from
SIGPLAN at http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm.

Submission: Submissions will be accepted electronically at a URL to be
named later. Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any
point before the submission deadline using the same web interface.

Author response: Authors will have a 48-hour period, starting at 14:00
UTC on 24 May 2010, to read and respond to reviews.

Special Journal Issue: There will be a special issue of the Journal of
Functional Programming with papers from ICFP 2010. The program
committee will invite the authors of select accepted papers to submit
a journal version to this issue.
