- Workshop: August 25, 2025
- Final version (post-proceedings): September 25, 2025

== SCOPE AND TOPICS
The EXPRESS/SOS workshop series aims to bring together researchers
interested in the formal semantics of systems and programming
concepts, and in the expressiveness of computational models.

Topics of interest for EXPRESS/SOS 2025 include, but are not limited to:

- expressiveness and rigorous comparisons between models of
computation (process algebras, event structures, Petri nets, rewrite
systems)
- expressiveness and rigorous comparisons between programming
languages and models (distributed, component-based, object-oriented,
service-oriented);
- logics for concurrency (modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic
logics, temporal logics and resource logics);
- analysis techniques for concurrent systems;
- theory of structural operational semantics (meta-theory,
category-theoretic approaches, congruence results);
- comparisons between structural operational semantics and other
formal semantic approaches;
- applications and case studies of structural operational semantics;
- software tools that automate, or are based on, structural
operational semantics.

We especially welcome contributions bridging the gap between the above
topics and neighbouring areas, such as, for instance:
- computer security
- multi-agent systems
- programming languages
- formal verification
- reversible computation
- knowledge representation


== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
We invite two types of submissions:
* Full papers (up to 15 pages, excluding references).
* Short papers (up to 5 pages, excluding references, not included in
the workshop post-proceedings)

[Caml-list] OCAML'25: The OCaml Users and Developers Workshop - Second Call for Papers

The OCaml Users and Developers Workshop: ACM SIGPLAN Workshop
October 17th, 2025 Singapore, Singapore, and also online.

Call for presentations: https://conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-splash-2025/ocaml-2025

Submission site: https://ocaml2025.hotcrp.com

Talk proposal submission deadline: Thursday July 3rd, 2025

(Please redistribute widely.)

The OCaml Users and Developers Workshop brings together the OCaml
community, including users of OCaml in industry, academia, hobbyists
and the free software community.

OCaml 2025 will be co-located with ICFP/SPLASH 2025, which will take place in
Singapore, Singapore. We aim to organize it as a hybrid event, so that people
can attend and even give talks remotely: talks will be streamed in
real-time, and virtual participants will be able to chat and ask
questions in writing.

### Scope

Presentations and discussions focus on the OCaml programming language as well as the OCaml ecosystem and its community. We aim to solicit talks on all aspects and perspectives related to improving the use or development of the language and its programming environment. 

Different aspects include, for example (but are not limited to):

- compiler developments, new backends, runtime and architectures

- practical type system improvements, such as GADTs, first-class modules, generic programming, or dependent types

- new library, tool or application releases, and their design rationales

- tools and infrastructure services, and their enhancements

- prominent industrial or experimental uses of OCaml, or deployments in unusual situations.

Different perspectives include, for example (but are not limited to):

- scientific and/or research-oriented

- engineering and/or user-oriented

- social and/or community-oriented.

### Presentations

The workshop is an informal meeting with no formal proceedings. The presentation material will be available online from the workshop homepage. The presentations may be recorded and made available at a later date.

The main presentation format is a workshop talk, traditionally around 20 minutes in length, plus question time, but we might also have a poster session during the workshop – this allows to present more diverse work, and gives time for discussion. The program committee will decide which presentations should be delivered as posters or talks.

### Submission

The submission website is available at: https://ocaml2025.hotcrp.com/

Conference website: https://conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-splash-2025/ocaml-2025

Please register a description of the talk (typically 2 pages long; it could also be less or more), a clear description of what will be provided by the presentation: the problems that are addressed, the solutions or methods that are proposed.

LaTeX-produced PDFs are a common and welcome submission format. For accessibility purposes, we ask PDF submitters to also provide the sources of their submission in a textual format, such as .tex sources. Reviewers may read either the submitted PDF or the text version.

[Last year's accepted presentations](https://icfp24.sigplan.org/home/ocaml-2024#event-overview) are available online.

#### Evaluation criteria

We will evaluate submissions according to the following aspects:

- relevance for the general OCaml community

- rigor and soundness

- novelty: new concepts/ideas, coverage of something unusual

- clear and understandable exposition of the content

- potential to deliver an engaging and informative (from a theoretical or practical point of view) presentation.

Not all submissions are expected to meet all criteria.

#### A note on affiliation quota

To guarantee coverage of diverse topics and perspectives, we will introduce a quota of maximum four accepted talks by speakers with the same affiliation, in line with previous workshops. Do not hesitate to submit your talk proposal in any case: quotas will be taken in account by the PC when deciding which submissions to accept. We know that authors may have many affiliations, or affiliations that are very broad (e.g. national research institutes). Judging from previous years we do not expect this to be a problem in most cases: the quota is intended to rule out extreme cases (e.g. having a disproportionate amount of accepted talks from colleagues of the same company).

### Attendance

We're aiming to make the workshop hybrid, meaning that talks as well as participation can be either in-person or remote, and remote attendance will be free. To promote a good atmosphere, communication and engagement, we'll prefer to have most talks in-person, but remote talks will be most welcome as well.

Thanks to support from the OCaml Software Foundation, registration fees will be covered for speakers in cases they can't get it funded by other means (e.g. their employer).

### ML family workshop

The ML family workshop, held on the previous day, deals with general issues of the ML-style programming and type systems, focuses on more research-oriented work that is less specific to a language in particular. There is an overlap between the two workshops, and we have occasionally transferred presentations from one to the other in the past. Authors who feel their submission fits both workshops are encouraged to mention it at submission time and/or contact the Program Chairs.

Best,

[Caml-list] FTfJP 2025 - 4th Call for Papers

FTfJP 2025 

27th International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Judicious Programming, 03 July 2025, Bergen, Norway  

Conference website: 

https://2025.ecoop.org/home/FTfJP-2025  

Submission link: 

https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ftfjp2025

=== Important dates ===

- Paper submission: 07 May 2025 (AoE, extended)

- Paper notification: 21 May 2025 (AoE)

- Workshop date: 03 July 2025 (co-located with ECOOP 2025)

Deadlines expire at 23:59 anywhere on earth on the dates displayed above.

=== Objectives and scope ===

Formal techniques can help analyse programs, precisely describe program behaviour, and verify program properties. Modern programming languages (such as C#, Java, Kotlin, Rust, or Scala) are interesting targets for formal techniques due to their ubiquity and wide user base, stable and well-defined interfaces and platforms, and powerful (but also complex) libraries. New languages and applications in this space are continually arising, resulting in new programming languages research challenges.

Work on formal techniques and tools and on the formal underpinnings of programming languages themselves naturally complement each other.

The Formal Techniques for Judicious Programming (FTfJP) workshop is an established workshop which has run annually since 1999 alongside ECOOP, with the goal of bringing together people working in both fields. Webpages for previous workshops in this series are available at https://ftfjp.github.io/.

Example topics of interest include:

- Language design and semantics

- Type systems

- Concurrency and new application domains

- Specification and verification of program properties

- Program analysis (static or dynamic)

- Program synthesis

- Security

- Pearls (programs or proofs)

FTfJP welcomes submissions on technical contributions, case studies, experience reports, challenge proposals, tools, and position papers. 

=== Paper Categories ===

We solicit two categories of papers:

- Full Papers (12 pages, excluding references) present a technical contribution, case study, or detailed experience report. We welcome both complete and incomplete technical results; ongoing work is particularly welcome, provided it is substantial enough to stimulate interesting discussions.

- Short Papers (6 pages, excluding references) should advocate a promising research direction, or otherwise present a position likely to stimulate discussion at the workshop. We encourage e.g. established researchers to set out a personal vision, and beginning researchers to present a planned path to a PhD.

Both types of contributions will benefit from feedback received at the workshop. Submissions will be peer reviewed and will be evaluated based on their clarity and their potential to generate interesting discussions. Reviewing will be single blind, i.e, submissions need not be anonymized.

The format of the workshop encourages interaction. FTfJP is a forum in which a wide range of people share their expertise, from experienced researchers to beginning PhD students.

=== Submission guidelines ===

Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers.  

Submissions should be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ftfjp2025.  

There is no need to indicate the paper category (long/short). 

The accepted papers will be published as post-proceedings in JOT (Journal of Object Technology), though authors will be able to opt out of this publication, if desired. At least one author of an accepted paper must register to the workshop by the early registration date and attend the workshop to present the work and participate in the discussions.
