SUBMISSIONS

MEMOCODE 2017 calls for three kinds of submissions: regular papers, work in
progress papers, and tool presentations. All papers must be written in English
and formatted according to the following IEEE Computer Society guidelines.
Submission of papers is handled via Easychair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=memocode2017):

* Regular papers must be no longer than 10 pages and must describe original
work that does not overlap with another publication or a submission under
review or accepted for publication by any other conference or journal.
Reviewers will check regular papers for the novelty of the proposed
solution and the proofs given for the claims made. One of the authors has
to present the paper at the conference.

* Work-in-progress (WIP) papers must be no longer than 4 pages and must
describe ongoing work. Reviewers will judge the novelty of the idea, but do
not yet expect proofs for the envisioned results. WIP papers will be
presented by one of the authors during a poster presentation at the
conference.

* Tool papers must be no longer than 8 pages and should describe an existing
and publicly available tool that implements relevant methods. The methods
might have been published before, but the tool should not have been
described in a tool paper previously. In addition to reviewing the paper,
reviewers will assess the tool itself using inputs and a user's manual
provided by the authors on the tool's web page. One of the authors has to
present the paper at the conference.

For questions regarding technical submissions, feel free to contact one of the
Program Committee co-chairs:
* Patricia Derler (patricia.derler@ni.com)
* Klaus Schneider (klaus.schneider@cs.uni-kl.de).

All accepted papers (regular paper, WIP papers, and tool papers) will be
published as IEEE conference proceedings in IEEE Xplore. For all three paper
categories, publication is contingent on one author registering for and
presenting the paper at the conference. Selected papers will be invited for
publication in a special issue of ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems.

[Caml-list] TABLEAUX 2017 - Final Call for Papers

************************************************************************

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

TABLEAUX 2017
26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with
Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
University of Brasilia, Brazil
September 25-28, 2017

Deadlines: 18 Apr 2017 (abstract), 25 Apr 2017 (paper)

http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/


GENERAL INFORMATION
TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research
on all aspects, theoretical foundations, implementation techniques,
systems development and applications, of the mechanization of
tableau-based reasoning and related methods is presented. As
the first TABLEAUX workshop was held in Lautenbach in 1992, this
year's conference will include special events celebrating 25 years
of TABLEAUX.

The conference will be held in Brasilia from 25-28 September 2017.
It will be co-located with both the 11th International Symposium
on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017) and the 8th
International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP
2017).

TOPICS
Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for
automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical
logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For large groups
of logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. Areas
of application include verification of software and computer
systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its
required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* tableau methods for classical and non-classical logics
(including first-order, higher-order, modal, temporal,
description, hybrid, intuitionistic, substructural,
relevance, non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic
foundations;
* related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking,
connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
* sequent calculi and natural deduction calculi for classical
and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof
representation;
* flexible, easily extendable, light weight methods for theorem
proving;
* novel types of calculi for theorem proving and verification
in classical and non-classical logics;
* systems, tools, implementations, empirical evaluations and
applications (provers, logical frameworks, model checkers, ...);
* implementation techniques (data structures, efficient
algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, ...);
* extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven
learning, generation of proofs; compact (or humanly readable)
representation of proofs;
* decision procedures, theoretically optimal procedures;
* applications of automated deduction to mathematics, software
development, verification, deductive and temporal
databases, knowledge representation, ontologies, fault
diagnosis or teaching.

We also welcome papers describing applications of tableau
procedures to real world examples. Such papers should be tailored
to the tableau community and should focus on the role of
reasoning, and logical aspects of the solution.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS
To celebrate 25 years TABLEAUX the conference will include a
special session of invited talks by:

Reiner Haehnle Technische Universitaet Darmstadt, Germany
Wolfgang Bibel Technische Universitaet Darmstadt, Germany

POSTER SESSION
There will be a joint poster session for TABLEAUX 2017, FroCos 2017,
and
ITP 2017. The session is intended for descriptions of work in
progress,
student projects and relevant research being published elsewhere.
The deadline for posters submission is June 15, 2017. More details can
be found at http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/#postersession.

PUBLICATION DETAILS
The conference proceedings will published in the Springer
LNAI/LNCS series, as in previous editions.

SUBMISSIONS
Submissions are invited in two categories:

A Research papers, which describe original theoretical
research, original algorithms, or applications, with length
up to 15 pages.
B System descriptions, with length up to 9 pages.

Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of
external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance
and originality.

For category A, theoretical results and algorithms must be
original, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
will be reviewed taking into account correctness, theoretical
elegance, and possible implementability.

For category B submissions, a working implementation must be
accessible via the internet, which includes sources. The aim of a
system description is to make the system available in such a way
that users can use it, understand it, and build on it.

Accepted papers in both categories will be published in the
conference proceedings. Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the
llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via
the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux2017.

For all accepted papers at least one author is required to attend
the conference and present the paper. A paper title and a short
abstract of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper
submission deadline. Further information about paper submissions
will be made available at the conference website. Be aware that
neither plagiarism, nor self-plagiarism, nor duplicate publication
is acceptable. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files
can be obtained via

http://www.springer.com/br/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

BEST PAPER AWARD
The TABLEAUX 2017 Best Paper Award will be presented to the best
submission nominated and chosen by the Program Committee among
the accepted papers. The eligibility criteria will place emphasis
on the originality and significance of the contribution, but
readability and the overall technical quality, including correctness
and completeness of results, will also be considered. The TABLEAUX
Best Paper Award was established in 2015 and is a permanent
initiative of TABLEAUX.

[Caml-list] GPCE 2017 - 1st Call for Papers

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

CALL FOR PAPERS

16th International Conference on 
Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences (GPCE 2017)

October 23-24, 2017
Vancouver, Canada
(co-located with SPLASH 2017)


IMPORTANT DATES

* Submission of abstracts: June 25, 2017
* Submission of papers:    July 2, 2017
* Paper notification:      August 17, 2017


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE

GPCE is a programming languages conference focusing on techniques and tools for code generation, language implementation, and product-line development. GPCE seeks conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and technical contributions to its topics of interest, which include but are not limited to:

* program transformation, staging, macro systems, preprocessors, program synthesis, and code-recommendation systems
* domain-specific languages, language embedding, language design, and language workbenches
* feature-oriented programming, domain engineering, and feature interactions
* applications and properties of code generation, language implementation, and product-line development.

Authors are welcome to check with the PC chair whether their planned papers are in scope.

PAPER SELECTION

The GPCE program committee will evaluate each submission according to the following selection criteria:

* Novelty. Papers must present new ideas or evidence and place them appropriately within the context established by previous research in the field.
* Significance. The results in the paper must have the potential to add to the state of the art or practice in significant ways.
* Evidence. The paper must present evidence supporting its claims. Examples of evidence include formalizations and proofs, implemented systems, experimental results, statistical analyses, and case studies.
* Clarity. The paper must present its contributions and results clearly.

PAPER SUBMISSION

GPCE solicits three kinds of submissions. All submissions must use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format "sigplanconf" and 10 point font.

* Full Papers reporting original and unpublished results of research that contribute to scientific knowledge in any GPCE topic listed above. Full 
paper submissions must not exceed 12 pages excluding bibliography.

* Short Papers presenting unconventional ideas or visions about any GPCE topic listed above. Short papers do not always require complete results 
as in the case of a full paper. In this way, authors can introduce new ideas to the community and get early feedback. Please note that short 
papers are not intended to be position statements. Short papers are included in the proceedings and will be presented at the conference. 
Short paper submissions must not exceed 6 pages excluding bibliography.

* Tool Demonstrations presenting tools for any GPCE topic listed above. Tools must be available for use and must not be purely commercial. Submissions must provide a tool description not exceeding 6 pages excluding bibliography and a separate demonstration outline including screenshots also not exceeding 6 pages. Tool demonstrations must have the keywords "Tool Demo" or "Tool Demonstration" in their title. If the submission is accepted, the tool description will be published in the proceedings. The demonstration outline will only be used by the program committee for evaluating the submission.

For additional information, clarification, or answers to questions please contact the program chair.
