[Caml-list] PADL 2014: Call for Papers

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

16th International Symposium on
Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2014)

http://www.ist.unomaha.edu/padl2014

San Diego, California, USA, January 20-21, 2014
Co-located with ACM POPL'14



Conference Description
======================

Declarative languages build on sound theoretical bases to provide
attractive frameworks for application development. These languages
have been successfully applied to many different real-world situations,
ranging from data base management to active networks to software engineering
to decision support systems.

New developments in theory and implementation have opened up new
application areas. At the same time, applications of declarative languages
to novel problems raise numerous interesting research issues. Well-known
questions include designing for scalability, language extensions for
application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications
drive the progress in the theory and implementation of declarative
systems, and benefit from this progress as well.

PADL is a forum for researchers and practitioners to present original
work emphasizing novel applications and implementation techniques
for all forms of declarative concepts, including, functional, logic,
constraints, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Innovative applications of declarative languages
* Declarative domain-specific languages and applications
* Practical applications of theoretical results
* New language developments and their impact on applications
* Declarative languages and Software Engineering
* Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications
* Practical experiences and industrial applications
* Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom
* Practical extensions such as constraint-based, probabilistic, and
reactive languages.

PADL'14 welcomes new ideas and approaches pertaining to applications
and implementation of declarative languages. In this occasion
PADL is co-located, as traditionally, with ACM POPL, which will be held
immediately following PADL. The symposium will be held in San Diego,
California, USA.

============================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS

TACAS 2014
An ETAPS Member Conference

20th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the
Construction and Analysis of Systems

http://www.etaps.org/2014/tacas

Abstract Submission: 4 October 2013
Paper Submission: 11 October 2013
Author Notification: 20 December 2013
=============================================================

TACAS is a forum for researchers, developers and users interested in
rigorously based tools and algorithms for the construction and
analysis of systems. The conference serves to bridge the gaps between
different communities with this common interest and to support them
in their quest to improve the utility, reliability, flexibility and
efficiency of tools and algorithms for building systems.

Theoretical papers with clear relevance for tool construction and
analysis, as well as tool descriptions and case studies with a
conceptual message, are all encouraged. The topics covered by the
conference include, but are not limited to:

- Specification and verification techniques
- Software and hardware verification
- Analytical techniques for real-time, hybrid, or stochastic systems
- Analytical techniques for safety, security, or dependability
- Model checking
- Theorem proving
- SAT and SMT solvers
- Static and dynamic program analysis
- Testing
- Abstraction techniques for modeling and verification
- Compositional and refinement-based methodologies
- System construction and transformation techniques
- Tool environments and tool architectures
- Applications and case studies

=== Paper categories: ===

TACAS accepts four types of submissions: research papers, case study
papers, regular tool papers, and tool demonstration papers.

- Research papers clearly identify and justify a principled advance
to the theoretical foundations for the construction and analysis of
systems and, where applicable, are supported by experimental
validation. Research papers can have a maximum of 15 pages.

- Case study papers report on case studies (preferably in a "real
life" setting). They should provide information about the following
aspects: the system being studied and why it is of interest, the
goals of the study, the challenges the system poses to automated
analysis, research methodologies and the approach used, the degree to
which goals were attained, and how the results can be generalized to
other problems and domains. Case study papers can have a maximum of
15 pages.

- Regular tool papers present a new tool, a new tool component, or
novel extensions to an existing tool. They should provide a short
description of the theoretical foundations with relevant citations,
and emphasize the design and implementation concerns including
software architecture and core data structures. A regular tool paper
should give a clear account of the tool's functionality, discuss the
tool's practical capabilities with reference to the type and size of
problems it can handle, experience with realistic case studies, and
where applicable, provide a rigorous experimental evaluation. Papers
that present extensions to existing tools should clearly focus on the
improvements or extensions with respect to previously published
versions of the tool, preferably substantiated by data on
enhancements in terms of resources and capabilities. We strongly
suggest authors make their tools available via the web, even if only
for the evaluation process. Tool papers can have a maximum of 15
pages.

- Tool demonstration papers focus on the usage aspects of tools. The
described tools must be publicly available. Theoretical foundations
and experimental evaluation are not required, however, a motivation
as to why the tool is interesting and significant should be provided.
Tool demonstration papers can have a maximum of 6 pages. They should
have an appendix of up to 6 additional pages with details on the
actual demonstration.

The proceedings will be published in the Advanced Research in
Computing and Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series. Papers of all four types will
appear in the proceedings and have presentations during the
conference.

=== Submission: ===

A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one
of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation.
Submitted papers must be in English presenting unpublished research
not submitted for publication elsewhere. In particular, simultaneous
submission of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is
forbidden. Papers must follow the formatting guidelines specified by
Springer at the URL: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
and be submitted electronically in pdf through Easychair:
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=tacas2014.
Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately.

=== Competition on Software Verification: ===

TACAS 2014 hosts the third competition on software verification with
the goal to evaluate technology transfer and compare state-of-the-art
software verifiers with respect to effectiveness and efficiency. More

interface of the respective conference.

Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately.


- Research papers

Different ETAPS 2014 conferences have different page limits.
Specifically, FASE, FOSSACS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pages,
whereas CC, ESOP and POST allow at most 20 pages. Additional material
intended for the referees but not for publication in the final version
- for example, details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked
appendix that is not included in the page limit. ETAPS referees are at
liberty to ignore appendices and papers must be understandable without
them.

TACAS solicits not only regular research papers, but also case study
papers.


- Tool demonstration papers

Submissions should consist of two parts:

* The first part, at most 4 pages, should describe the tool
presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and
provide information that illustrates the maturity and robustness of
the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.)

* The second part, at most 6 pages, should explain how the

The 14th International Symposium
on Database Programming Languages
http://dbpl2013.inria.fr
Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy
August 30, 2013
co-located with VLDB 2013

Call for Participation

For over 25 years, DBPL has established itself as the principal venue
for publishing and discussing new ideas at the intersection of
databases and programming languages. Many key contributions in query
languages for object-oriented data, persistent databases, nested
relational data, and semistructured data, as well as fundamental ideas
in types for query languages, were first announced at DBPL. Today, the
emergence of new data management applications such as cloud computing
and "big data," social network analysis, bidirectional programming,
and data privacy has lead to a new flurry of creative research in this
area, as well as a tremendous amount of activity in industry. DBPL is
an established destination for such new ideas.

======= PEPM 2014 ===========


ACM SIGPLAN 2014 WORKSHOP ON PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION
Mon-Tue, January 20-21, 2014
San Diego, California, USA
co-located with POPL'14

Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

http://www.program-transformation.org/PEPM14

SCOPE

The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners working in the areas of program manipulation, partial evaluation,
and program generation. PEPM focuses on techniques, theory, tools, and
applications of analysis and manipulation of programs.
The 2014 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad interpretation of semantics-based
program manipulation and continue last years' successful effort to expand the
scope of PEPM significantly beyond the traditionally covered areas of partial
evaluation and specialization and include practical applications of program
transformations such as refactoring tools, and practical implementation techniques
such as rule-based transformation systems. In addition, the scope of PEPM covers
manipulation and transformations of program and system representations such as
structural and semantic models that occur in the context of model-driven
development. In order to reach out to practitioners, a separate category of tool
demonstration papers will be solicited.

Topics of interest for PEPM'14 include, but are not limited to:

Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation,
partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active libraries,
program inversion, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, decompilation,
and obfuscation.

Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model manipulation
such as: abstract interpretation, termination checking, binding-time
analysis, constraint solving, type systems, automated testing and
test case generation.

Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including
metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific languages,
program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming, staged computation,
and model-driven program generation and transformation.

Application of the above techniques including case studies of program
manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source) projects and software
development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively
handling realistic applications, benchmarking. Examples of application
domains include legacy program understanding and transformation, DSL
implementations, visual languages and end-user programming, scientific
computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed
and web-based applications, resource-limited computation, and security.

To maintain the dynamic and interactive nature of PEPM, we will continue the
category of `short papers' for tool demonstrations and for presentations of
exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial
and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar.

Student attendants with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to
help cover travel expenses and other support. PAC also offers other support,
such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for
companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel
from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC
programme, see its web page.

All accepted papers, short papers included, will appear in formal proceedings
published by ACM Press. In addition to printed proceedings, accepted papers will
be included in the ACM Digital Library. A special issue for Science of Computer
Programming is planned with recommended papers from PEPM'14.

PEPM has also established a Best Paper award. The winner will be announced at
the workshop.

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES AND GUIDELINES

Regular Research Papers must not exceed 12 pages in ACM Proceedings style
(including appendix). Tool demonstration papers and short papers must not
exceed 6 pages in ACM Proceedings style (including appendix). At least one
author of each accepted contribution must attend the workshop and present the
work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the
described tool is expected. Suggested topics, evaluation criteria, and writing
guidelines for both research tool demonstration papers will be made available
on the PEPM'14 Web-site. Papers should be submitted electronically via the
workshop web site.

Authors using LaTeX to prepare their submissions should use the new improved
SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls, 9pt template).

Jurriaan Hage
Publicity Chair of IFL


CALL FOR PAPERS

25th SYMPOSIUM ON IMPLEMENTATION AND APPLICATION OF FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES - IFL 2013

RADBOUD UNIVERSITY NIJMEGEN, THE NETHERLANDS
ACM In-Cooperation / ACM SIGPLAN

AUGUST 28 - 30 2013

"Landgoed Holthurnsche Hof"

http://ifl2013.cs.ru.nl



We are proud to announce that the 25th edition of the IFL series returns to its roots at
the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. The symposium is held from 28th
to 30th of August 2013.

Scope
-----
The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the
implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages.
IFL 2013 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts,
work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and
application of functional languages and function-based programming.

Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2013 will use a post-symposium review process to
produce the formal proceedings which will be published in the ACM Digital Library. All
participants of IFL 2013 are invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended
abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium. At no time may work submitted
to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to
ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy:

http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication

The submissions will be screened by the program committee chair to make sure they are
within the scope of IFL, and will appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the
symposium. Submissions appearing in the draft proceedings are not peer-reviewed
publications. Hence, publications that appear only in the draft proceedings do not
count as publication for the ACM SIGPLAN republication policy. After the symposium,
authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from discussions at
the symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full article for the formal
review process. From the revised submissions, the program committee will select papers
for the formal proceedings considering their correctness, novelty, originality,
relevance, significance, and clarity.

Invited Speaker
---------------
Lennart Augustsson, currently employed by the Standard Chartered Bank, well-known for
his work on Haskell, parallel Haskell, Cayenne, and Bluespec, is the invited speaker of
IFL 2013. He will be talking about practical applications of functional programming.

Submission Details
------------------
Submission deadline draft papers: July 31
Notification of acceptance for presentation: August 2
Early registration deadline: August 7
Late registration deadline: August 14
Submission deadline for pre-symposium proceedings: August 21
25th IFL Symposium: August 28-30
Submission deadline for post-symposium proceedings: November 11
Notification of acceptance for post-symposium proceedings: December 18
Camera-ready version for post-symposium proceedings: February 3 2014

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers or extended abstracts to be

[Caml-list] LPAR-19 in South Africa - Paper Deadline

===========================
LPAR-19
CALL FOR PAPERS
===========================

============================================================
The 19th International Conference on
Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning
============================================================

Stellenbosch, South Africa, 14-19 December 2013
www.LPAR-19.info

The series of International Conferences on Logic for Programming, Artificial
Intelligence and Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where, year after year, some of
the most renowned researchers in the areas of logic, automated reasoning,
computational logic, programming languages and their applications come to
present cutting-edge results, to discuss advances in these fields, and to
exchange ideas in a scientifically emerging part of the world. The 19th LPAR
will be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in nearly all areas in Computer
Science. It runs a multifaceted gamut from the foundational to the applied.
At one extreme, it underlies computability and complexity theory and the formal
semantics of programming languages. At the other extreme, it drives billions of
gates every day in the digital circuits of processors of all kinds. Logic is in
itself a powerful programming paradigm, but it is also the quintessential
specification language for anything ranging from real-time critical systems to
networked infrastructures. Logical techniques link implementation and
specification through formal methods such as automated theorem proving and model
checking. Logic is also the stuff of knowledge representation and artificial
intelligence. Because of its ubiquity, logic has acquired a central role in
Computer Science education.

Topics
------
New results in the fields of computational logic and applications are welcome.
Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open
questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Abduction and interpolation methods
* Automated reasoning
* Constraint programming
* Decision procedures
* Description logics
* Foundations of security
* Hardware verification
* Implementations of logic
* Interactive theorem proving
* Knowledge representation and reasoning
* Logic and computational complexity
* Logic and databases
* Logic and games
* Logic and machine learning
* Logic and the web
* Logic and types
* Logic in artificial intelligence
* Logic of distributed systems
* Logic programming
* Logical aspects of concurrency
* Logical foundations of programming
* Modal and temporal logics
