[Caml-list] ETAPS 2017 call for satellite events

20th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
ETAPS 2017
Uppsala, Sweden, 23-29 April 2017
http://www.etaps.org/2017/

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 twentieth
edition, ETAPS 2017, will take place 23-29 April 2017 in Uppsala,
Sweden.

ETAPS 2017 main conferences, scheduled for 25-28 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 2017 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 2017 satellite events will be held immediately before and after
the main conferences, on 23-24 April and 29 April.

-- ARRANGEMENTS FOR SATELLITE EVENTS --

The organizers of an ETAPS 2017 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 2017 organizing committee,
* prepare and organize the publication of a formal (post)proceedings
(if desired).

The ETAPS 2017 organizing committee will:

* promote the event on the website and in the publicity material of
ETAPS 2017,
* 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 2017 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.

[Caml-list] RV 2016, Sept 23-30 2016, Madrid, Spain - 1st Call for Papers and Tutorials

RV 2016
16th International Conference on Runtime Verification
September 23-30, Madrid, Spain

http://rv2016.imag.fr


Scope

Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of software and hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they are significantly more powerful and versatile than conventional testing, and 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:

- specification languages
- specification mining
- program instrumentation
- monitor construction techniques
- logging, recording, and replay
- runtime enforcement, fault detection, localization, containment, recovery and repair
- program steering and adaptation
- metrics and statistical information gathering
- combination of static and dynamic analyses
- program execution visualization
- monitoring techniques for safety/mission-critical systems
- monitoring distributed systems, cloud services, and big data applications
- monitoring security and privacy policies

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.


Invited Speakers

The program of RV 2016 will feature invited talks from:

Gul Agha (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA)
Oded Maler (CNRS and University of Grenoble-Alpes, France)
Fred B. Schneider (Cornell University, USA)


Overview

RV 2016 will be held September 23-30 in Madrid, Spain. RV 2016 will feature the first summer school on Runtime Verification (September 23-25), two workshop days (September 26-25), and three conference days (September 28-30).


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. At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must attend RV 2016 to present the paper. Papers must be written in English and submitted electronically (in PDF format) using the EasyChair system. The below page limitations 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.

Research Papers Track

Research papers can be submitted in two categories: regular and short papers. Papers in both categories will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee.

Regular Papers (up to 15 pages) should present original unpublished results. Theoretical papers, system and application papers as well as case studies on runtime verification are all welcome.
The Program Committee of RV 2015 will give a best paper award. 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.

Short Papers (up to 6 pages) 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. Accepted short papers will be presented in special talk (15 minutes) and poster sessions.

Tool Papers Track

The aim of the RV 2016 tool track is to provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to show and to discuss the latest advances, experiences and challenges in devising and developing reliable software tools for runtime verification. All tool papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Tool Committee. An author of each accepted tool paper should give a 15-20 minutes demonstration during the conference.

All tool papers 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.
We encourage tool papers to include a script in an appendix (not included in the page count) describing how the demo will be conducted during the conference presentation with screenshots presenting step-by-step the tool's capabilities, highlighting the main characteristics and the usage.

Tool papers can be submitted into two categories:

Regular Tool Papers (up to 8 pages). A tool paper in this category should present a new tool, a new tool component or significant and novel extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification. Each submission should be original and not published previously in a tool paper form.
Tool Exhibition Papers (up to 4 pages). A tool paper in this category can have been previously published. A tool paper in this category should be oriented towards the tool usage and is an opportunity for the developers to present them at RV 2016.


Tutorial Track

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.

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 biography of the presenter. The proposal must not exceed 2 pages. Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee.

[Caml-list] UNIF 2016 - Call for Papers

UNIF 2016 - Call for papers

The 30th International Workshop on Unification is the 30th event in a series
of international meetings devoted to unification theory and its applications.
Unification is concerned with the problem of making two terms equal, finding
solutions for equations, or making formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental
process used in a number of fields of computer science, including automated
reasoning, term rewriting, logic programming, natural language processing,
program analysis, types, etc.

The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for
researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new
colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new
ideas and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and
scientists working in related areas to get an overview of the current state
of the art in unification theory. The workshop will be hosted by the 1st
International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction
(FSCD, Porto, June 2016)

Description of the Topic
------------------------
Unification is one of the central notions in automated reasoning and lies at
the heart of many reasoning systems. Unification is concerned with the problem
of making two terms equal, either syntactically or modulo a theory. UNIF 2016
will be the 30th in a series of annual international workshops on unification.
Previous editions have taken place mostly in Europe (Austria, Denmark, France,
Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, UK), but also in the USA and Japan. For more
details on previous UNIF workshops, please see the UNIF homepage at
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~treinen/unif/.
Traditionally, the scope of the UNIF workshops has covered the topic of
unification in a broad sense, encompassing also research in constraint solving,
admissibility of inference rules, and applications such as type checking,
query answering and cryptographic protocol analysis. A non-exhaustive list
of topics of interest includes:
+ Unification algorithms, calculi and implementations
+ Equational unification and unification modulo theories
+ Unification in modal, temporal and description logics
+ Admissibility of Inference Rules
+ Narrowing
+ Matching algorithms
+ Constraint solving
+ Combination problems
+ Disunification
+ Higher-Order Unification
+ Type checking and reconstruction
+ Typed unification
+ Complexity issues
+ Query answering

[Caml-list] MSFP 2016: Final Call for Papers

Sixth Workshop on
MATHEMATICALLY STRUCTURED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
8 April 2016, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands
A satellite workshop of ETAPS 2016

http://msfp2016.bentnib.org/

NOTE: the deadline for paper submissions has been extended by one day
to:

*Monday 18th January*

Prior submission of an abstract is not required



The sixth workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming
is devoted to the derivation of functionality from structure. It is a
celebration of the direct impact of Theoretical Computer Science on
programs as we write them today. Modern programming languages, and in
particular functional languages, support the direct expression of
mathematical structures, equipping programmers with tools of remarkable
power and abstraction. Where would Haskell be without monads? Functional
reactive programming without temporal logic? Call-by-push-value without
adjunctions? The list goes on. This workshop is a forum for researchers
who seek to reflect mathematical phenomena in data and control.

The first MSFP workshop was held in Kuressaare, Estonia, in July 2006,
affiliated with MPC 2006 and AMAST 2006. The second MSFP workshop was
held in Reykjavik, Iceland as part of ICALP 2008. The third MSFP
workshop was held in Baltimore, USA, as part of ICFP 2010. The fourth
workshop was held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012. The
fifth workshop was held in Grenoble, France, as part of ETAPS 2014.

Important Dates:
================

Submission 18th January 2016
Notification 17th February 2016
Final version 24th February 2016
Workshop 8th April 2016


Invited Speakers:

LOCATION
^^^^^^^^

SFM-16:QUANTICOL will be held in the medieval hilltop town of Bertinoro.

This place is in Emilia Romagna, about 70 km south-east of Bologna,
at an elevation of about 230 m. It can be reached in a couple of
hours from the international airport "G. Marconi" of Bologna by
shuttle (from the airport to the railway station) + train (from
Bologna to Forli`) + bus/taxi (from the railway station to Bertinoro).

Bertinoro is close to many splendid locations such as Urbino,
Gradara, San Leo, and the Republic of San Marino, as well as some
less well-known locations like the thermal springs of Fratta Terme.
Bertinoro can also be a base for visiting some of the better-known
Italian locations such as Bologna, Modena, Parma, Rimini, Ravenna,
Ferrara, Padova, Venezia, Verona, Firenze, Pisa, Lucca, and Siena.

Bertinoro itself is picturesque, with its narrow streets and
walkways winding around the central peak. The school will be held
at the Centro Residenziale Universitario (CRU), an ex-episcopal
fortress that has been converted into a modern conference center.
From the fortress, it is possible to enjoy a beautiful vista stretching
from the Apennines to the Adriatic Coast and the Alps over the Po Valley.


ORGANIZATION

is devoted to the derivation of functionality from structure. It is a
celebration of the direct impact of Theoretical Computer Science on
programs as we write them today. Modern programming languages, and in
particular functional languages, support the direct expression of
mathematical structures, equipping programmers with tools of remarkable
power and abstraction. Where would Haskell be without monads? Functional
reactive programming without temporal logic? Call-by-push-value without
adjunctions? The list goes on. This workshop is a forum for researchers
who seek to reflect mathematical phenomena in data and control.

The first MSFP workshop was held in Kuressaare, Estonia, in July 2006,
affiliated with MPC 2006 and AMAST 2006. The second MSFP workshop was
held in Reykjavik, Iceland as part of ICALP 2008. The third MSFP
workshop was held in Baltimore, USA, as part of ICFP 2010. The fourth
workshop was held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012. The
fifth workshop was held in Grenoble, France, as part of ETAPS 2014.

[Caml-list] Compose Conference Call for Participation [NYC, Feb 4-5]

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

Call for Participation

Compose Conference 2016

February 4-5, 2016
New York, NY

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

The practice and craft of functional programming :: Conference

Compose is a conference for typed functional programmers, focused
specifically on Haskell, OCaml, F#, SML, and related technologies.

Typed functional programming has been taken up widely, by industry and
hobbyists alike. For many of us it has renewed our belief that code
should be beautiful, and that programming can be as enjoyable as it is
practical. Compose is about bringing together functional programmers
of all levels of skill and experience — from technical leads to
novices, and from long-time hackers to students just getting started.

It will feature a keynote by Eugenia Cheng on her work popularizing
mathematics, two days of great talks, and plans are underway for a
weekend hackathon/unconference.
