-----------------------------------------
* https://popl19.sigplan.org/track/pepm-2019-papers#Call-for-Poster-Demo-Abstracts
To maintain PEPM's dynamic and interactive nature, PEPM 2019 will continue to
have special sessions for poster/demo presentations. In addition to the main
interactive poster/demo session, there will also be a scheduled short-talk
session where each poster/demo can be advertised to the audience in, say, 5–10
minutes.
Poster/demo abstracts should describe work relevant to PEPM (whose scope is
detailed below), typeset as a one-page PDF using the two-column 'sigplan'
sub-format of the new 'acmart' format available at:
http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/
and sent by email to the programme co-chairs, Manuel Hermenegildo and Atsushi Igarashi, at:
manuel.hermenegildo@imdea.org, igarashi@kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp
Please also include in the email:
* a short summary of the abstract (in plain text),
* the type(s) of proposed presentation (poster and/or demo), and
* whether you would like to give a scheduled short talk (in addition to the
poster/demo presentation).
Abstracts should be sent no later than:
Friday, 14th December 2018, anywhere on earth
and will be considered for acceptance on a rolling basis. Accepted abstracts,
along with their short summary, will be posted on PEPM 2019's website.
At least one author of each accepted abstract must attend the workshop and
present the work during the poster/demo session.
Student participants with accepted posters/demos 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.
Scope
-----
In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2019 welcomes
submissions in new domains, in particular:
* Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and program
optimisation.
* Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed and
concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types, linear types, and
contract specifications.
More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2019 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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, embedded and resource-limited computation, and
security.
This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions
describing new theories and applications related to semantics-based program
manipulation in general. If you have a question as to whether a potential
submission is within the scope of the workshop, please contact the programme
co-chairs, Manuel Hermenegildo and Atsushi Igarashi (manuel.hermenegildo@imdea.org, igarashi@kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp).

[Caml-list] HCVS 2019 - First Call For Papers
(We apologize for multiple copies)
Call for papers
6th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS)
Co-located with ETAPS 2019
April 7, 2019 - Prague, Czech Republic
https://conf.researchr.org/track/etaps-2019/hcvs-2019-papers
Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be
modeled directly using Horn clauses, and many recent advances in the
Constraint/Logic Programming, Verification, and Automated Deduction
communities have centered around efficiently solving problems
presented as Horn clauses.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the
communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP),
Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated
Deduction (e.g., CADE), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis,
verification and synthesis.
Horn clauses have been advocated by these communities at different
times and from different perspectives, and this workshop is organized
to stimulate interaction and a fruitful exchange and integration
of experiences.
This edition follows five previous meetings: HCVS 2018 in Oxford, UK
(w/FLoC), HCVS 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden (w/CADE), HCVS 2016 in
Eindhoven, The Netherlands (w/ETAPS), HCVS 2015 in San Francisco, CA,
USA (w/CAV), and HCVS 2014 in Vienna, Austria (w/VSL).
Aims and Scope
--------------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the use of Horn
clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas:
- Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds
(e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order,
concurrent)
- Program synthesis
- Program testing
- Program transformation
- Constraint solving
- Type systems
- Case studies and tools
- Challenging problems
We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of
Horn-clause-based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit
extended abstracts describing work-in-progress, as well as
presentations covering previously published results that are of
interest to the workshop.
CHC-COMP
--------
HCVS 2019 will host the 2nd CHC competition (CHC-COMP), which will
compare state-of-the-art tools for CHC solving for performance and
effectiveness on a set of publicly available benchmarks.

The scope includes all languages that encourage functional programming, including both purely applicative and imperative languages, as well as languages with objects, concurrency, or parallelism. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* *Language Design*: concurrency, parallelism, and distribution; modules; components and composition; metaprogramming; type systems; interoperability; domain-specific languages; and relations to imperative, object-oriented, or logic programming.
* *Implementation*: abstract machines; virtual machines; interpretation; compilation; compile-time and run-time optimization; garbage collection and memory management; multi-threading; exploiting parallel hardware; interfaces to foreign functions, services, components, or low-level machine resources.
* *Software-Development Techniques*: algorithms and data structures; design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling.
* *Foundations*: formal semantics; lambda calculus; rewriting; type theory; monads; continuations; control; state; effects; program verification; dependent types.
* *Analysis and Transformation*: control-flow; data-flow; abstract interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation.
* *Applications*: symbolic computing; formal-methods tools; artificial intelligence; systems programming; distributed-systems and web programming; hardware design; databases; XML processing; scientific and numerical computing; graphical user interfaces; multimedia and 3D graphics programming; scripting; system administration; security.
* *Education*: teaching introductory programming; parallel programming; mathematical proof; algebra.
Submissions will be evaluated according to their relevance, correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. Each submission 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.
PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 also welcomes submissions in two separate categories — Functional Pearls and Experience Reports — that must be marked as such at the time of submission and that need not report original research results. Detailed guidelines on both categories are given at the end of this call.
Please contact the principal editor if you have questions or are concerned about the appropriateness of a topic.
### Preparation of submissions
**Deadline**: The deadline for submissions is **Friday, March 1, 2019**, Anywhere on Earth (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>). This deadline will be strictly enforced.
**Formatting**: Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black and white on US Letter sized paper, and interpretable by common PDF tools. All submissions must adhere to the "ACM Small" template that is available (in both LaTeX and Word formats) from <https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions>. For authors using LaTeX, a lighter-weight package, including only the essential files, is available from <http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format>.
There is a limit of **25 pages for a full paper or Functional Pearl** and **12 pages for an Experience Report**; in either case, the bibliography will not be counted against these limits. Submissions that exceed the page limits or, for other reasons, do not meet the requirements for formatting, will be summarily rejected. Supplementary material can and should be **separately** submitted (see below).
See also PACMPL's Information and Guidelines for Authors at <https://pacmpl.acm.org/authors.cfm>.
**Submission**: Submissions will be accepted at <https://icfp19.hotcrp.com/>
Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the submission deadline using the same web interface.
**Author Response Period**: Authors will have a 72-hour period, starting at 14:00 UTC on **Tuesday, April 16, 2019**, to read reviews and respond to them.
**Supplementary Material**: Authors have the option to attach supplementary
material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not
to look at it. This supplementary material should **not** be submitted as part
of the main document; instead, it should be uploaded as a **separate** PDF
document or tarball.
Supplementary material should be uploaded **at submission time**, not by
providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository.
Authors are free to upload both anonymized and non-anonymized supplementary
material. Anonymized supplementary material will be visible to reviewers
immediately; non-anonymized supplementary material will be revealed to
reviewers only after they have submitted their review of the paper and learned
the identity of the author(s).
**Authorship Policies**: All submissions are expected to comply with the ACM Policies for Authorship that are detailed at <https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors>.
**Republication Policies**: Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as explained on the web at <http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication>.
**Resubmitted Papers**: Authors who submit a revised version of a paper that has previously been rejected by another conference have the option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to see how his/her comments have been addressed, the principal editor will communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of the previous reviews.
### Review Process
This section outlines the two-stage process with lightweight double-blind reviewing that will be used to select papers for PACMPL issue ICFP 2019. We anticipate that there will be a need to clarify and expand on this process, and we will maintain a list of frequently asked questions and answers on the conference website to address common concerns.
**PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 will employ a two-stage review process.** The first stage in the review process will assess submitted papers using the criteria stated above and will allow for feedback and input on initial reviews through the author response period mentioned previously. At the review meeting, a set of papers will be conditionally accepted and all other papers will be rejected. Authors will be notified of these decisions on **May 3, 2019**.
Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with committee reviews (just as in previous conferences) along with a set of mandatory revisions. After four weeks (May 31, 2019), the authors will provide a second submission. The second and final reviewing phase assesses whether the mandatory revisions have been adequately addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final accept/reject status of the paper. The intent and expectation is that the mandatory revisions can be addressed within four weeks and hence that conditionally accepted papers will in general be accepted in the second phase.
The second submission should clearly identify how the mandatory revisions were addressed. To that end, the second submission must be accompanied by a cover letter mapping each mandatory revision request to specific parts of the paper. The cover letter will facilitate a quick second review, allowing for confirmation of final acceptance within two weeks. Conversely, the absence of a cover letter will be grounds for the paper's rejection.
**PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.** To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules:
1. **author names and institutions must be omitted**, and
2. **references to authors' own related work should be in the third person** (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the work of ...").
The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas.
### Information for Authors of Accepted Papers
* As a condition of acceptance, final versions of all papers must adhere to the new ACM Small format. The page limit for the final versions of papers will be increased by two pages to help authors respond to reviewer comments and mandatory revisions: **27 pages plus bibliography for a regular paper or Functional Pearl, 14 pages plus bibliography for an Experience Report**.
* Authors of accepted submissions will be required to agree to one of the three ACM licensing options: open access on payment of a fee (**recommended**, and SIGPLAN can cover the cost as described next); copyright transfer to ACM; or retaining copyright but granting ACM exclusive publication rights. Further information about ACM author rights is available from <http://authors.acm.org>.
* PACMPL is a Gold Open Access journal. It will be archived in ACM's Digital Library, but no membership or fee is required for access. Gold Open Access has been made possible by generous funding through ACM SIGPLAN, which will cover all open access costs in the event authors cannot. Authors who can cover the costs may do so by paying an Article Processing Charge (APC). PACMPL, SIGPLAN, and ACM Headquarters are committed to exploring routes to making Gold Open Access publication both affordable and sustainable.
* ACM offers authors a range of copyright options, one of which is Creative Commons CC-BY publication; this is the option recommended by the PACMPL editorial board. A reasoned argument in favour of this option can be found in the article [Why CC-BY?](https://oaspa.org/why-cc-by/) published by OASPA, the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association.
* We intend that the papers will be freely available for download from the ACM Digital Library in perpetuity via the OpenTOC mechanism.
* ACM Author-Izer is a unique service that enables ACM authors to generate and post links on either their home page or institutional repository for visitors to download the definitive version of their articles from the ACM Digital Library at no charge. Downloads through Author-Izer links are captured in official ACM statistics, improving the accuracy of usage and impact measurements. Consistently linking to the definitive version of an ACM article should reduce user confusion over article versioning. After an article has been published and assigned to the appropriate ACM Author Profile pages, authors should visit <http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service> to learn how to create links for free downloads from the ACM DL.
* At least one author of each accepted submissions will be expected to attend and present their paper at the conference. The schedule for presentations will be determined and shared with authors after the full program has been selected. Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the presenter consents.
* The official publication date is the date the papers are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to *two weeks prior* to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
### Artifact Evaluation
Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase of the review process will be encouraged (but not required) to submit supporting materials for Artifact Evaluation. These items will then be reviewed by an Artifact Evaluation Committee, separate from the paper Review Committee, whose task is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the associated paper. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of approval printed on the papers themselves. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to make the supporting materials publicly available upon publication of the papers, for example, by including them as "source materials" in the ACM Digital Library. An additional seal will mark papers whose artifacts are made available, as outlined in the ACM guidelines for artifact badging.
Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary and will not influence the final decision regarding paper acceptance.
### Special categories of papers
In addition to research papers, PACMPL issue ICFP solicits two kinds of papers that do not require original research contributions: Functional Pearls, which are full papers, and Experience Reports, which are limited to half the length of a full paper. Authors submitting such papers should consider the following guidelines.
#### Functional Pearls
A Functional Pearl is an elegant essay about something related to functional programming. Examples include, but are not limited to:
* a new and thought-provoking way of looking at an old idea
* an instructive example of program calculation or proof
* a nifty presentation of an old or new data structure
* an interesting application of functional programming techniques
* a novel use or exposition of functional programming in the classroom
While pearls often demonstrate an idea through the development of a short program, there is no requirement or expectation that they do so. Thus, they encompass the notions of theoretical and educational pearls.
Functional Pearls are valued as highly and judged as rigorously as ordinary papers, but using somewhat different criteria. In particular, a pearl is not required to report original research, but, it should be concise, instructive, and entertaining. A pearl is likely to be rejected if its readers get bored, if the material gets too complicated, if too much specialized knowledge is needed, or if the writing is inelegant. The key to writing a good pearl is polishing.
A submission that is intended to be treated as a pearl must be marked as such on the submission web page, and should contain the words "Functional Pearl" somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps will alert reviewers to use the appropriate evaluation criteria. Pearls will be combined with ordinary papers, however, for the purpose of computing the conference's acceptance rate.
<a name="experience-reports"></a>
#### Experience Reports
The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of published, refereed, citable evidence that functional programming really works — or to describe what obstacles prevent it from working.
Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited to:
* insights gained from real-world projects using functional programming
* comparison of functional programming with conventional programming in the context of an industrial project or a university curriculum
* project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when using functional programming in a real-world project
* curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in education
* real-world constraints that created special challenges for an implementation of a functional language or for functional programming in general
An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal PACMPL issue ICFP paper by its title, by its length, and by the criteria used to evaluate it.
* Both in the papers and in any citations, the title of each accepted Experience Report must end with the words "(Experience Report)" in parentheses. The acceptance rate for Experience Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for ordinary papers.
* Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long, excluding bibliography.
* Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the conference, but depending on the number of Experience Reports and regular papers accepted, authors of Experience reports may be asked to give shorter talks.
* Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our community to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by presenting novel results or conclusions. It is sufficient if the Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting evidence. The thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel.
The review committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as possible. Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers which show how functional programming was used than from papers which only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing evidence often includes comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from a single person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given to evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people.
An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results — the main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in what context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of the project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize the project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to what degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project. Specifics about the project are more valuable than generalities about functional programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the team delivered its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say that functional programming made the team more productive.
If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the functional-programming community, it may be better to submit it as a full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty, originality, and relevance. The principal editor will be happy to advise on any concerns about which category to submit to.

* a new and thought-provoking way of looking at an old idea
* an instructive example of program calculation or proof
* a nifty presentation of an old or new data structure
* an interesting application of functional programming techniques
* a novel use or exposition of functional programming in the classroom
While pearls often demonstrate an idea through the development of a short program, there is no requirement or expectation that they do so. Thus, they encompass the notions of theoretical and educational pearls.
Functional Pearls are valued as highly and judged as rigorously as ordinary papers, but using somewhat different criteria. In particular, a pearl is not required to report original research, but, it should be concise, instructive, and entertaining. A pearl is likely to be rejected if its readers get bored, if the material gets too complicated, if too much specialized knowledge is needed, or if the writing is inelegant. The key to writing a good pearl is polishing.
A submission that is intended to be treated as a pearl must be marked as such on the submission web page, and should contain the words "Functional Pearl" somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps will alert reviewers to use the appropriate evaluation criteria. Pearls will be combined with ordinary papers, however, for the purpose of computing the conference's acceptance rate.

#### Experience Reports
The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of published, refereed, citable evidence that functional programming really works — or to describe what obstacles prevent it from working.
Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited to:
* insights gained from real-world projects using functional programming
* comparison of functional programming with conventional programming in the context of an industrial project or a university curriculum
* project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when using functional programming in a real-world project
* curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in education
* real-world constraints that created special challenges for an implementation of a functional language or for functional programming in general
An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal PACMPL issue ICFP paper by its title, by its length, and by the criteria used to evaluate it.
* Both in the papers and in any citations, the title of each accepted Experience Report must end with the words "(Experience Report)" in parentheses. The acceptance rate for Experience Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for ordinary papers.
* Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long, excluding bibliography.
* Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the conference, but depending on the number of Experience Reports and regular papers accepted, authors of Experience reports may be asked to give shorter talks.
* Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our community to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by presenting novel results or conclusions. It is sufficient if the Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting evidence. The thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel.
The review committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as possible. Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers which show how functional programming was used than from papers which only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing evidence often includes comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from a single person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given to evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people.
An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results — the main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in what context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of the project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize the project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to what degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project. Specifics about the project are more valuable than generalities about functional programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the team delivered its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say that functional programming made the team more productive.
If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the functional-programming community, it may be better to submit it as a full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty, originality, and relevance. The principal editor will be happy to advise on any concerns about which category to submit to.

descriptions. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 15 pages
excluding references for regular papers and 10 pages excluding
references for system descriptions. Submissions must be unpublished and
not submitted for publication elsewhere. They will be judged on
relevance, originality, significance, correctness, and readability.
System descriptions must contain a link to a working system and will
also be judged on usefulness and design. Proofs of theoretical results
that do not fit in the page limit, executables of systems, and input
data of experiments should be made available, via a reference to a
website or in an appendix of the paper. For papers containing
experimental evaluations, all data needed to rerun the experiments must
be available. Reviewers will be encouraged to consider this additional
material, but submissions must be self-contained within the respective
page limit; considering the additional material should not be necessary
to assess the merits of a submission. The review process will include a
feedback/rebuttal period where authors will have the option to respond
to reviewer comments. The PC chair may solicit further reviews after the
rebuttal period.

At every CADE conference the Program Committee selects one of the
accepted papers to receive the CADE Best Paper Award. The award
recognizes a paper that the Program Committee collegially evaluates as
the best in terms of originality and significance, having substantial
confidence in its correctness. Overall technical quality, completeness,
scholarly accuracy, and readability are also considered. Characteristics
associated with a best paper include, for instance, introduction of a
strong new technique or approach, solution of a long-standing open
problem, introduction and solution of an interesting and important new
problem, highly innovative application of known ideas or existing
techniques, and presentation of a new system of outstanding power. Under
exceptional circumstances, the Program Committee may give two awards (ex
aequo) or give no award.

Rewriting systems, Lambda calculus, Concurrent calculi, Logics,
Type theory, Homotopy type theory, Logical frameworks, Quantum
calculi
2. Methods in Computation and Deduction:
Type systems; Induction and coinduction; Matching, unification,
completion and orderings; Strategies; Tree automata; Model
checking; Proof search and theorem proving; Constraint solving and
decision procedures
3. Semantics:
Operational semantics; Abstract machines; Game Semantics; Domain
theory; Categorical models; Quantitative models
4. Algorithmic Analysis and Transformations of Formal Systems:
Type inference and type checking; Abstract interpretation;
Complexity analysis and implicit computational complexity; Checking
termination, confluence, derivational complexity and related
properties; Symbolic computation
5. Tools and Applications:
Programming and proof environments; Verification tools; Proof
assistants and interactive theorem provers; Applications in

[Caml-list] Formal Methods 2019: First Call for Papers
==================================================================================================
FM 2019 - 23rd International Symposium on Formal Methods - 3rd World Congress on Formal Methods
Porto, Portugal, October 7-11, 2019
http://formalmethods2019.inesctec.pt/
==================================================================================================
FM 2019 is the 23rd international symposium in a series organised by Formal Methods Europe (FME),
an independent association whose aim is to stimulate the use of, and research on, formal methods
for software development. Every 10 years the symposium is organised as a World Congress. Twenty
years after FM 1999 in Toulouse, and 10 years after FM 2009 in Eindhoven, FM 2019 is the 3rd World
Congress on Formal Methods. This is reflected in a PC with members from over 40 countries. Thus,
FM 2019 will be both an occasion to celebrate and a platform for enthusiastic researchers and
practitioners from a diversity of backgrounds to exchange their ideas and share their experience.
FORMAL METHODS: THE NEXT 30 YEARS
It is now more than 30 years since the first VDM symposium in 1987 brought together researchers
with the common goal of creating methods to produce high quality software based on rigour and
reason. Since then the diversity and complexity of computer technology has changed enormously and
the formal methods community has stepped up to the challenges those changes brought by adapting,
generalising and improving the models and analysis techniques that were the focus of that first
symposium. The theme for FM 2019 is a reflection on how far the community has come and the
lessons we can learn for understanding and developing the best software for future technologies.
Important Dates
================
Abstract submission: 28 March, 2019
Full paper submission: 11 April, 2019, 23:59 AoE
Notification: 11 June, 2019
Camera ready: 9 July, 2019
Conference: 7-11 October, 2019
Topics of Interest
======================
FM 2019 encourages submissions on formal methods in a wide range of domains including software,
computer-based systems, systems-of-systems, cyber-physical systems, human-computer interaction,
manufacturing, sustainability, energy, transport, smart cities, and healthcare. We particularly
welcome papers on techniques, tools and experiences in interdisciplinary settings. We also
welcome papers on experiences of formal methods in industry, and on the design and validation of
formal methods tools. The broad topics of interest for FM 2019 include, but are not limited to:
- Interdisciplinary formal methods: Techniques, tools and experiences demonstrating the use of
formal methods in interdisciplinary settings.
- Formal methods in practice: Industrial applications of formal methods, experience with formal
methods in industry, tool usage reports, experiments with challenge problems. The authors are
encouraged to explain how formal methods overcame problems, led to improved designs, or provided
new insights.
- Tools for formal methods: Advances in automated verification, model checking, and testing with
formal methods, tools integration, environments for formal methods, and experimental validation
of tools. The authors are encouraged to demonstrate empirically that the new tool or environment
advances the state of the art.
- Formal methods in software and systems engineering: Development processes with formal methods,
usage guidelines for formal methods, and method integration. The authors are encouraged to
evaluate process innovations with respect to qualitative or quantitative improvements. Empirical
studies and evaluations are also solicited.
- Theoretical foundations of formal methods: All aspects of theory related to specification,
verification, refinement, and static and dynamic analysis. The authors are encouraged to explain
how their results contribute to the solution of practical problems with formal methods or tools.
Submission Guidelines
=======================
Papers should be original work, not published or submitted elsewhere, in Springer LNCS format,
written in English, submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fm2019
Each paper will be evaluated by at least three members of the Programme Committee. Authors of
papers reporting experimental work are strongly encouraged to make their experimental results
available for use by the reviewers. Similarly, case study papers should describe significant
case studies, and the complete development should be made available at the time of review. The
usual criteria for novelty, reproducibility, correctness and the ability for others to build upon
the described work apply. Tool papers should explain enhancements made compared to previously
published work. A tool paper need not present the theory behind the tool but should focus on
the tool's features, how it is used, its evaluation, and examples and screen shots illustrating
the tool's use. Authors of tool papers should make their tool available for use by the reviewers.
We solicit two categories of papers:
- Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages, not counting references and appendices.
- Short papers, including tool papers, should not exceed 6 pages, not counting references and
appendices. Besides tool papers, short papers are encouraged for any topic that can be described
within the page limit, and in particular for novel ideas without an extensive experimental
evaluation. Short papers will be accompanied by short presentations.
For regular and tool papers, an appendix can provide additional material such as details on
proofs or experiments. The appendix is not part of the page count and not guaranteed to be read
or taken into account by the reviewers. It should not contain information necessary to the
understanding and the evaluation of the presented work. Papers will be accepted or rejected in
the category in which they were submitted.
At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the conference as
a registered participant.
Best Paper Award
=================
At the conference, the PC Chairs will present an award to the authors of the submission selected
as the FM 2019 Best Paper.
Publication
============
Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings to appear in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science in the subline on Formal Methods. Traditionally, extended versions of
selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of one or more journals.

[Caml-list] PEPM 2018 Call for Papers
-- CALL FOR PAPERS --
ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2010
===============================================================================
* Website : https://popl19.sigplan.org/track/pepm-2019-papers
* Time : two days between 13th – 19th January 2019
* Place : Cascais/Libon, Portugal (co-located with POPL 2019)
The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM),
which has a history going back to 1991 and has co-located with POPL every year
since 2006, originates in the discoveries of practically useful automated
techniques for evaluating programs with only partial input. Over the years,
the scope of PEPM has expanded to include a variety of research areas centred
around the theme of semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic
exploitation of treating programs not only as subject to black-box execution,
but also as data structures that can be generated, analysed, and transformed
while establishing or maintaining important semantic properties.
Scope
-----
In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2019 welcomes
submissions in new domains, in particular:
* Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and program
optimisation.
* Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed and
concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types, linear types, and
contract specifications.
More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2019 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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, embedded and resource-limited computation, and
security.
This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions
describing new theories and applications related to semantics-based program
manipulation in general. If you have a question as to whether a potential
submission is within the scope of the workshop, please contact the programme
co-chairs, Manuel Hermenegildo (http://cliplab.org/herme/) and Atsushi Igarashi
(http://www.fos.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~igarashi/).
Submission categories and guidelines
------------------------------------
Two kinds of submissions will be accepted: Regular Research Papers and Short
Papers.
* Regular Research Papers should describe new results, and will be judged on
originality, correctness, significance, and clarity. Regular research
papers must not exceed 12 pages (excluding bibliography).
* Short Papers may include tool demonstrations and presentations of exciting
if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial,
and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar. Short papers must
not exceed 6 pages (excluding bibliography).
Both kinds of submissions should be typeset using the two-column 'sigplan'
sub-format of the new 'acmart' format available at:
http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/
and submitted electronically via HotCRP:
https://pepm19.hotcrp.com/
PEPM 2019 will employ lightweight double-blind reviewing according to the rules
of POPL 2019. Quoting from POPL 2019's call for papers:
"submitted papers must adhere to two rules:
1. author names and institutions must be omitted, and
2. references to authors' own related work should be in the third person
(e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on
the work of ...").
The purpose of this process is to help the PC and external reviewers come to
an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible
for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done
in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of
reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important background
references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors should
feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they
normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the
web or give talks on their research ideas."
See POPL 2019's Submission and Reviewing FAQ page for more information:
https://popl19.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2019-Research-Papers#Submission-and-Reviewing-FAQ
Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the two co-chairs) provided
that there are non-PC co-authors.
Accepted papers will appear in formal proceedings published by ACM, and be
included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of short papers, however, can ask
for their papers to be left out of the formal proceedings.
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 2019 web site.
Student participants 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.
Important dates
---------------
* Paper submission deadline : Friday 12th October 2018 (AoE)
* Author notification : Monday 12th November 2018 (AoE)
* Workshop : TBD (two days between 13th – 19th January 2019)
The proceedings are expected to be published 2 weeks pre-conference.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings
are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two
weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date
affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For

ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2010
===============================================================================
* Website : https://popl19.sigplan.org/track/pepm-2019-papers
* Time : two days between 13th – 19th January 2019
* Place : Cascais/Libon, Portugal (co-located with POPL 2019)
The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM),
which has a history going back to 1991 and has co-located with POPL every year
since 2006, originates in the discoveries of practically useful automated
techniques for evaluating programs with only partial input. Over the years,
the scope of PEPM has expanded to include a variety of research areas centred
around the theme of semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic
exploitation of treating programs not only as subject to black-box execution,
but also as data structures that can be generated, analysed, and transformed
while establishing or maintaining important semantic properties.
Scope
-----
In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2019 welcomes
submissions in new domains, in particular:
* Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and program
optimisation.
* Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed and
concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types, linear types, and
contract specifications.
More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2019 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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, embedded and resource-limited computation, and
security.
This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions
describing new theories and applications related to semantics-based program
manipulation in general. If you have a question as to whether a potential
submission is within the scope of the workshop, please contact the programme
co-chairs, Manuel Hermenegildo (http://cliplab.org/herme/) and Atsushi Igarashi
(http://www.fos.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~igarashi/).
