[Caml-list] FLoC 2018 - Joint Call for Papers

FLoC 2018 — The 2018 Federated Logic Conference
6-19 July 2018
Oxford, England UK
http://www.floc2018.org/


In 1996, as part of its Special Year on Logic and Algorithms, DIMACS
hosted the first Federated Logic Conference (FLoC). It was modelled
after the successful Federated Computer Research Conference (FCRC),
and synergetically brought together conferences that apply logic to
computer science.

The seventh Federated Logic Conference (FLoC'18) will be held in
Oxford, UK, in July 2018, at the Mathematical Institute and the
Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. FLoC 2018
brings together nine major international conferences related to
mathematical logic and computer science:


International Conference on Computer Aided Verification (CAV)
http://cavconference.org/2018/

IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF)
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/cas.cremers/csf2018/

International Symposium on Formal Methods (FM)
http://www.fm2018.org

International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and
Deduction (FSCD)
http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/events/fscd2018/

continue spurring advances in hardware and software verification while
expanding to new domains such as machine learning, autonomous systems,
and computer security. The proceedings of the conference will be
published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series. A selection of papers is expected to be invited to a special
issue of Formal Methods in System Design and the Journal of the ACM.

CAV'18 will take place in Oxford, UK, and is a part of the Federated
Logic Conference (FLoC) 2018.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

+ Algorithms and tools for verifying models and implementations
+ Algorithms and tools for system synthesis
+ Algorithms and tools that combine verification and learning
+ Mathematical and logical foundations of verification and synthesis
+ Specifications and correctness criteria for programs and systems
+ Deductive verification using proof assistants
+ Hardware verification techniques
+ Program analysis and software verification
+ Software synthesis
+ Hybrid systems and embedded systems verification
+ Formal methods for cyber-physical systems
+ Compositional and abstraction-based techniques for verification
+ Probabilistic and statistical approaches to verification
+ Verification methods for parallel and concurrent systems
+ Testing and run-time analysis based on verification technology
+ Decision procedures and solvers for verification and synthesis
+ Applications and case studies in verification and synthesis
+ Verification in industrial practice
+ New application areas for algorithmic verification and synthesis
+ Formal models and methods for security

Paper Submission

- Full papers should be uploaded by the submission deadline.
- Tool papers require the submission of an artifact together with
the paper submission.

As in 2017, CAV will follow a lightweight double-blind review process.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with proceedings or
submission of material that has already been published elsewhere is
not allowed. The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal
period where authors will have the option to respond to reviewer
comments. The PC chairs may solicit further reviews after the
rebuttal period.

Submissions will be in two categories: Regular Papers and Tool Papers.

Regular Papers

Regular Papers should not exceed 16 pages in LNCS format, not counting
references and appendices. Authors can include a clearly marked
appendix at the end of their submissions that is exempt from the page
limit restrictions. However, the reviewers are not obliged to read the
contents of these appendices. These papers should contain original
research and sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of
the contribution. Papers will be evaluated on basis of a combination
of correctness, technical depth, significance, novelty, clarity, and
elegance. We welcome papers on theory, case studies, and comparisons
with existing experimental research, as well as combinations of new
theory with experimental evaluation. A strong theoretical paper is
not required to have an experimental component. On the other hand,
strong papers reproducing and comparing existing results
experimentally do not require new theoretical insights.

Authors of accepted regular papers will be invited (but are
not required) to submit the relevant artifact for evaluation by the
artifact evaluation committee.

Tool Papers:

Tool Papers should not exceed 6 pages, not counting references. These
papers should describe system and implementation aspects of a tool
with a large (potential) user base (experiments not required, rehash
of theory strongly discouraged). Papers describing tools that have
already been presented (in any conference) will be accepted only if
significant and clear enhancements to the tool are reported and
implemented. Note that tool papers require the submission of an
artifact for evaluation by the submission deadline. Artifacts will be
evaluated concurrently with the review process and the program
committee will have access to the artifact evaluation while making
their decision. In special cases, where an artifact cannot be
submitted, the authors should contact the program chairs to find
alternate modes of artifact evaluation.

-- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --

ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers
and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the
proceedings and have presentations during the conference.

ESOP and FoSSaCS accept only research papers. FASE, POST and TACAS
have multiple types of research papers, see below.

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 original research. They
must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere (this
does not apply to abstracts). In particular, simultaneous submission
of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is
forbidden.

Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines of Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science and be submitted electronically in
pdf through the EasyChair author interface of the respective
conference.

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

FASE and POST will use a double-blind review process.

The proceedings of ETAPS 2018 will be published in *gold open
access*. The copyright of the papers will remain with the authors. 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.

NB! The publisher's charges for gold open access will be paid by the
conference (funded with the participation fees of all
participants). There will be no added cost for authors
specifically. The overall rise in participation fee levels will be
small.


- Research papers

FASE, FoSSaCS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pp (excluding
bibliography of max 2 pp) for research papers, whereas POST allows at
most 20 pp (excluding bibliography of max 2 pp) and ESOP 25 pp
(excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

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.

In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also *case
study papers* (with the same page limit as for regular resarch
papers). POST solicits also *systematization of knowledge papers*
(with the same page limit as for regular research papers) and
*position papers* (max 10 pp, excl bibliography of max 2 pp).

Both TACAS and FASE solicit also *regular tool papers* (at most 15 pp,
excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).


- Tool demonstration papers

Submissions should consist of two parts:

* The first part, at most 6 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
demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including
screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
proceedings, but will be evaluated.

ESOP and FoSSaCS do not accept tool demonstration papers.

[Caml-list] FLOPS 2018: Second Call for Papers

SECOND Call For Papers

FLOPS 2018: 14th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming

In-Cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN

9-11 May, 2018, Nagoya, Japan

http://www.sqlab.jp/FLOPS2018/

Writing down detailed computational steps is not the only way of
programming. The alternative, being used increasingly in practice, is
to start by writing down the desired properties of the result. The
computational steps are then (semi-)automatically derived from these
higher-level specifications. Examples of this declarative style
include functional and logic programming, program transformation and
re-writing, and extracting programs from proofs of their correctness.

FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and
implementors of the declarative programming, to discuss mutually
interesting results and common problems: theoretical advances, their
implementations in language systems and tools, and applications of
these systems in practice. The scope includes all aspects of the
design, semantics, theory, applications, implementations, and teaching
of declarative programming. FLOPS specifically aims to
promote cross-fertilization between theory and practice and among
different styles of declarative programming.

Scope

FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of the declarative
programming:

* functional, logic, functional-logic programming, re-writing
systems, formal methods and model checking, program transformations
and program refinements, developing programs with the help of theorem
provers or SAT/SMT solvers;
* foundations, language design, implementation issues (compilation
techniques, memory management, run-time systems), applications and
case studies.

FLOPS promotes cross-fertilization among different styles of
declarative programming. Therefore, submissions must be written to be
understandable by the wide audience of declarative programmers and
researchers. Submission of system descriptions and declarative pearls
are especially encouraged.

Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:
* Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will
be judged on originality, correctness, and significance.
* System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working
system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design.
* Declarative pearls: new and excellent declarative programs or
theories with illustrative applications.
System descriptions and declarative pearls must be explicitly marked
as such in the title.

Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally
published workshops proceedings may be submitted. See also ACM SIGPLAN
Republication Policy.

Proceedings

The proceedings will be published by Springer International Publishing
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, as a printed
volume as well as online in the digital library SpringerLink.

Post-proceedings: The authors of 4-7 best papers will be invited to
submit the extended version of their FLOPS paper to a special issue of
the journal Science of Computer Programming (SCP).


Important dates

13 November 2017 (any time zone): Abstract Submission
20 November 2017 (any time zone): Submission deadline
15 January 2018: Author notification
9-11 May 2018: FLOPS Symposium

Invited Talks

To be announced


Submission

Submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 pages long
including references, though pearls are typically shorter. The
formatting has to conform to Springer's guidelines. Regular research
papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In
case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made
