OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE
Applying formal methods may involve modeling different aspects of a
system which are best expressed using different formalisms.
Correspondingly, different analysis techniques may be used to examine
different system views, different kinds of properties, or simply in
order to cope with the sheer complexity of the system. The iFM
conference series seeks to further research into hybrid approaches to
formal modeling and analysis; i.e., the combination of (formal and
semi-formal) methods for system development, regarding modeling and
analysis, and covering all aspects from language design through
verification and analysis techniques to tools and their integration
into software engineering practice.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
- Formal and semiformal modelling notations;
- Integration of formal methods into software engineering practice;
- Refinement;
- Theorem proving;
- Tools;
- Logics;
- Model checking;
- Model transformations;
- Semantics;
- Static Analysis;
- Type Systems;
- Verification;
- Case Studies;
- Experience reports

Call for Workshop Proposals
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As computers and communications technology advance, greater
opportunities arise for intelligent mathematical computation. While
computer algebra, automated deduction, mathematical publishing and
novel user interfaces individually have long and successful histories,
we are now seeing increasing opportunities for synergy among these
areas.

Workshop proposals for CICM 2013 are solicited. Both well-established
workshops and newer or brand new ones are encouraged.

Please provide the following information:

+ Workshop title.
+ Names and affiliations of organizers.
+ Brief description of workshop goals and/or topics.
+ Proposed workshop duration (half a day up to two days is possible).
+ If the workshop has met previously, please include the conference
affiliation for the previous meeting. If the workshop is new,
please indicate so.

CICM conference fees will be levied on a per-day basis, so that
workshop-only participation is possible. The CICM organizers plan to
make available a small amount towards partial reimbursement for travel
expenses of invited speakers. Also, CICM will take care of copying and
distributing informal printed proceedings for workshops that would
like this service, as well as permanently archived open access online
proceedings with CEUR-WS.org.

All proposals should be sent via email to
cicm-organizers@jacobs-university.de
for consideration by the CICM 2013 organizers:

[Caml-list] Call for Participation: Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop - a POPL workshop.

Apologies for any duplicates:

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop, Rome

Tuesday January 22, 2013

Co-located with POPL 2013

PLMW web page: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~gds/PLMW/index.html

After the resounding success of the first Programming Languages
Mentoring Workshop at POPL 2012, we proudly announce the 2nd SIGPLAN
Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW), co-located with POPL
2013 and organised by Nate Foster, Philippa Gardner, Alan Schmitt,
Gareth Smith, Peter Thieman and Tobias Wrigstad.

The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to encourage graduate
students and senior undergraduate students to pursue careers in
programming language research. This workshop will provide technical
sessions on cutting-edge research in programming languages, and
mentoring sessions on how to prepare for a research career. We will
bring together leaders in programming language research from academia
and industry to give talks on their research areas. The workshop will
engage students in a process of imagining how they might contribute to
our research community.

We especially encourage women and underrepresented minority students
to attend PLMW. Since PLMW will be in Rome this year, we particularly
look forward to seeing Eastern European students at the workshop.

This workshop is part of the activities surrounding POPL, the
Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages, and takes place the
day before the main conference. One goal of the workshop is to make
the POPL conference more accessible to newcomers. We hope that
participants will stay through the entire conference, and will also
attend the POPL tutorials on Monday 21st January which are free to
PLMW registered attendees.

Through the generous donation of our sponsors, we are able to provide
scholarships to fund student participation. These scholarships will
cover reasonable expenses (airfare, hotel and registration fees) for
attendance at both the workshop and the POPL conference.

Students attending this year will get one year free student membership
of SIGPLAN

The workshop registration is open to all. Students with alternative
sources of funding are welcome.

APPLICATION for PLMW scholarship:

The scholarship application can be accessed from the workshop web site
(http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~gds/PLMW/index.html). The deadline for full
consideration of funding is 9th December, 2012. Selected participants
will be notified from Friday 14th December, and will need to register
for the workshop by December 24th.

[Caml-list] PLPV 2013 Last Call for Papers

[The PLPV submission deadline is October 8. Do consider submitting! -François.]

The Seventh ACM SIGPLAN Workshop
on
Programming Languages meets Program Verification (PLPV 2013)

http://plpv.tcs.ifi.lmu.de/

22nd January, 2013
Rome, Italy
(Affiliated with POPL 2013)

Call for Papers

Overview

The goal of PLPV is to foster and stimulate research at the
intersection of programming languages and program verification, by
bringing together experts from diverse areas like types, contracts,
interactive theorem proving, model checking and program analysis. Work
in this area typically attempts to reduce the burden of program
verification by taking advantage of particular semantic or structural
properties of the programming language. One example are dependently
typed programming languages, which leverage a language's type system
to specify and check rich specifications. Another example are
extended static checking systems which incorporate contracts with
either static or dynamic contract checking.

We invite submissions on all aspects, both theoretical and practical,
of the integration of programming language and program verification
technology. To encourage interaction between different
communities, we seek a broad scope for PLPV. In particular,
submissions may have diverse foundations for verification (based on
types, Hoare-logic, abstract interpretation, etc), target
different kinds of programming languages (functional, imperative,
object-oriented, etc), and apply to diverse kinds of program
properties (data structure invariants, security properties, temporal
protocols, resource constraints, etc).

Important Dates

Submission 8th October, 2012 (Monday)
Notification 1st November, 2012 (Thursday)
Final Version 8th November, 2012 (Thursday)
Workshop 22nd January, 2013 (Tuesday)

Submissions

We seek submissions of up to 12 pages related to the above
topics; shorter submissions are also welcome. Submissions may describe
new work, propose new challenge problems for language-based
verification techniques, or present a known idea in an elegant way
(i.e., a pearl).

Submissions should be prepared with SIGPLAN two-column conference
format. Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN republication
policy. Concurrent submissions to other workshops, conferences,
journals, or similar forums of publication are not allowed.

To submit a paper, access the online submission site at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=plpv2013.

Publication

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

[Caml-list] WGP 2012 Call for Participation

Dear Camlers,

Here is the Call for Participation for WGP.
This year some presentations use OCaml :-)

Jacques Garrigue

======================================================================
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

WGP 2012

8th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming
Copenhagen, Denmark
Sunday, September 9th, 2012

http://www.wgp-sigplan.org/2012

Co-located with the
International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2012)
======================================================================


Goals of the workshop
---------------------

Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making
them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds
of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably
instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the
parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for
example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class
hierarchies, or even programming paradigms.

Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to
practitioners and to theoreticians, and, for at least 20 years,
generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research
in the functional and object-oriented programming communities. Generic
programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream
languages, and today is widely used in industry. This workshop brings
together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming
from around the world, and features papers capturing the state of the
art in this important area.

Re: [Caml-list] OUD - call for participation

Dear OCaml users,

We have now updated the OUD website with the abstracts of all the
speakers: http://oud.ocaml.org/2012/#schedule

As a reminder, early registration is on August 9th, so be sure to
register soon. All of the student applications will receive a
response shortly, so thank you for all the applications.

There is a lot going on during the week of ICFP in addition to the
OCaml workshop, and you might want to also attend some of the other
events that are co-located (including the ML workshop the day before).
I have written an overview of the week here:
http://anil.recoil.org/2012/07/31/the-functional-week.html

We had a lot of fun last year in Japan, and I hope to see you all
in Copenhagen in September for an equally memorable get-together!
Feel free to contact myself or Didier with any queries.

[Caml-list] PLPV 2013 First Call for Papers

The Seventh ACM SIGPLAN Workshop
on
Programming Languages meets Program Verification (PLPV 2013)

http://plpv.tcs.ifi.lmu.de/

22nd January, 2013
Rome, Italy
(Affiliated with POPL 2013)

Call for Papers

Overview

The goal of PLPV is to foster and stimulate research at the
intersection of programming languages and program verification, by
bringing together experts from diverse areas like types, contracts,
interactive theorem proving, model checking and program analysis. Work
in this area typically attempts to reduce the burden of program
verification by taking advantage of particular semantic or structural
properties of the programming language. One example are dependently
typed programming languages, which leverage a language's type system
to specify and check rich specifications. Another example are
extended static checking systems which incorporate contracts with
either static or dynamic contract checking.

We invite submissions on all aspects, both theoretical and practical,
of the integration of programming language and program verification
technology. To encourage interaction between different
communities, we seek a broad scope for PLPV. In particular,
submissions may have diverse foundations for verification (based on
types, Hoare-logic, abstract interpretation, etc), target
different kinds of programming languages (functional, imperative,
object-oriented, etc), and apply to diverse kinds of program
properties (data structure invariants, security properties, temporal
protocols, resource constraints, etc).

Important Dates

Submission 8th October, 2012 (Monday)
Notification 1st November, 2012 (Thursday)
Final Version 8th November, 2012 (Thursday)
Workshop 22nd January, 2013 (Tuesday)

Submissions

We seek submissions of up to 12 pages related to the above
topics; shorter submissions are also welcome. Submissions may describe
new work, propose new challenge problems for language-based
verification techniques, or present a known idea in an elegant way
(i.e., a pearl).

Submissions should be prepared with SIGPLAN two-column conference
format. Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN republication
policy. Concurrent submissions to other workshops, conferences,
journals, or similar forums of publication are not allowed.

To submit a paper, access the online submission site at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=plpv2013.

Publication

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