Venue
=====

STAF 2015 will be hosted by L'Aquila, the capital city of the Abruzzi
region in Italy. The city's construction was begun by Frederick II, Holy
Roman Emperor and King of Sicily, as a bulwark against the power of the
papacy. The name of Aquila means "Eagle" in Italian. Construction was
completed in 1254 under Frederick's son, Conrad IV of Germany.

Laid out within medieval walls upon a hillside in the middle of a narrow
valley; tall snow-capped mountains of the Gran Sasso massif flank the
town. A maze of narrow streets, lined with Baroque and Renaissance
buildings and churches, open onto elegant piazzas.

The surrounding area boasts Roman ruins (the important Roman city of
Amiternum), ancient monasteries, and numerous castles. The best-known of
these is Rocca Calascio (used in the 1980s as the location for the movie
Ladyhawke), which is the highest castle in Italy and one of the highest
in Europe. Also nearby are several ski resorts like Gran Sasso d'Italia,
the highest of the Apennines where in its valley the movie The Name of
the Rose was filmed in the end of the 1980s.

Earthquakes mark the history of L'Aquila. STAF 2015 is the first
remarkable scientific event in Computer Science after the earthquake
that occurred in 2009. It is a small, big step towards the grand
achievement of restoring some form of normality in this place and its
people.

The conferences will be held on Dipartimento di Scienze Umane of the
University of L'Aquila

ADDRESS: Viale Nizza, 14
67100 L'Aquila (Italy)

The twentieth International Conference on Engineering of Complex
Computer Systems (ICECCS 2015) will be held in the Gold Coast,
Australia, 9-12 December, 2015.

Complex computer systems are present in every aspect of human
activities, ranging from construction, communications, defense, finance,
health care, manufacturing and transportation. Complexity arises from
many factors, including the dynamic environments and scenarios these
systems operate in; demanding and sometimes conflicting requirements in
functionality, efficiency, scalability, security, dependability and
adaptability; as well as the large variation in development methodology,
programming languages and implementation details.

This twentieth edition of the ICECCS conference series aims to bring
together industrial, academic, and government experts, from a variety of
application domains and software disciplines, to discuss how the
disciplines' problems and solution techniques interact within the whole
system. Researchers, practitioners, tool developers and users, and
technology transfer experts are all welcome. The scope of interest
includes long-term research issues; near-term requirements and
challenges; established complex systems; emerging promising tools; and
retrospective and prospective reflections of research and development
into complex systems.


KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
---------------------------
* Colin Fidge Queensland University of Technology, Australia
* Mounir Mokhtari, CNRS & Institut Mines-Telecom, France
* Jun Sun, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore


SCOPE AND TOPICS
---------------------------
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished
research results, case studies and tools. Papers are solicited in all
areas related to complex computer-based systems, including causes of
complexity and means of measuring, avoiding, controlling, or coping with
complexity. Topic areas include, but are not limited to:

* Requirement specification and analysis
* Verification and validation
* Security and privacy of complex systems

problems faced by industry and user domains. The ultimate goal of the
conference is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that
can fit the interests and needs of its attendees: practitioners,
researchers, managers, and students. A program goal is to organize
several sessions that include both academic and industrial papers on a
given topic and culminate panels to discuss relationships between
industrial and academic research.

FULL PAPERS

Full papers are divided into two categories:
* Technical Papers and
* Experience Reports.
The papers submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program
committee members, and papers accepted in either category will be
published in the conference proceedings. Technical papers should
describe original research. Experience reports should describe practical
projects carried out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learned
from them.

Short paper submissions should specify in their abstract whether they
describe ongoing or PhD research. Both types of short papers will be
reviewed by program committee members, and accepted short papers will be
published in the conference proceedings.


PAPER SUBMISSION

Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of
the 2-column IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) Proceedings
Format. Papers should not exceed 10 pages for full papers and 4 pages
for short papers, including figures, references, and appendices. All
submissions should be in PDF format. Submissions not adhering to the
specified format and length may be rejected immediately, without review.

[Caml-list] APLAS 2015: Final Call for Papers

*********************************************************************
APLAS 2015, Call for Papers
13th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems
Pohang, Korea, November 30 - December 2, 2015
*********************************************************************

*IMPORTANT DATES*
Submission deadline: June 5, 2015 
Author notification: August 17, 2015
Final version: September 7, 2015
Conference: November 30 - December 2, 2015

*INVITED SPEAKERS*
Peter O'Hearn, Facebook
Sukyoung Ryu, KAIST
Eran Yahav, Technion
Hongseok Yang, University of Oxford

*ABOUT*
APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a 
forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of 
ideas in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, 
but is an international forum that serves the worldwide programming 
language community.

APLAS is sponsored by the  Asian Association for Foundation of 
Software (AAFS), founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with 
many researchers from Europe and the USA. Past APLAS symposiums were 
successfully held in Singapore ('14), Melbourne ('13), Kyoto ('12), 
Kenting ('11),  Shanghai ('10),  Seoul ('09),  Bangalore ('08), 
Singapore ('07),  Sydney ('06),  Tsukuba ('05),  Taipei ('04)  and 
Beijing ('03) after three informal workshops. Proceedings of the past 
symposiums were published in Springer's LNCS.

*TOPICS*
The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues in 
programming languages and systems. Papers are solicited on topics 
such as
* semantics, logics, foundational theory
* design of languages, type systems and foundational calculi
* domain-specific languages
* compilers, interpreters, abstract machines
* program derivation, synthesis and transformation
* program analysis, verification, model-checking
* logic, constraint, probabilistic and quantum programming
* software security
* concurrency and parallelism
* tools and environments for programming and implementation
Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums. 
Papers identifying future directions of programming and those 
addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms 
are especially welcome. Demonstration of systems and tools in the 
scope of APLAS are welcome to the System and Tool presentations 
category. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are 
welcome to consult with program chair prior to submission.

*SUBMISSION*
We solicit submissions in two categories:
a) Regular research papers
 - describing original scientific research results, including tool 
   development and case studies. Regular research papers should not 
   exceed 18 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including 
   bibliography and figures. They should clearly identify what has 
   been accomplished and why it is significant. Submissions will be 
   judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, 
   originality, and clarity. In case of lack of space, proofs, 
   experimental results, or any information supporting the technical 
   results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a link to 
   a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them.
b) System and tool presentations
 - describing systems or tools that support theory, program 
   construction, reasoning, or program execution in the scope of 
   APLAS. System and Tool presentations are expected to be centered 
   around a demonstration. The paper and the demonstration should 
   identify the novelties of the tools and use motivating examples. 
   System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages in the Springer 
   LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. Submissions will 
   be judged based on both the papers and the described systems or 
   tools. It is highly desirable that the tools are available on the 
   web.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page 
Acceptable formats are PostScript or PDF. 

Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for 
publication elsewhere. Papers must be written in English. 
The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer's 
LNCS series. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference.

BACKGROUND
The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2015
is to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members
of the international research community on tools and techniques for the
verification of critical systems.

SCOPE
The subject is to be interpreted broadly and inclusively. It covers
all aspects of automated verification, including model checking,
theorem proving, SAT/SMT constraint solving, abstract interpretation,
and refinement pertaining to various types of critical systems which
need to meet stringent dependability requirements (safety-critical,
business-critical, performance-critical, etc.). Contributions that
describe different techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged.

The technical programme will consist of invited and contributed talks
and also allow for short presentations of research ideas. The workshop
will be relatively informal, with an emphasis on discussion where special
discussion sessions will be organised around the research ideas presentations.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Model Checking
- Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving
- SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification
- Abstract Interpretation
- Specification and Refinement
- Requirements Capture and Analysis
- Verification of Software and Hardware
- Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
- Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems
- Dependable Systems
- Verified System Development
- Industrial Applications

WORKSHOPS
AI4FM 2015: 1 September 2015 -- www.ai4fm.org/ai4fm-2015/
including invited talk by J Strother Moore (Univerity of Texas at Austin)

VENUE
The event will be held in the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences
(ICMS) in the centre of the historic old town of Edinburgh - an UNESCO world
heritage site.

STUDENT GRANTS
Thanks to sponsorships from FME and SICSA we can offer financial support for a
limited number of students registering for AVoCS in the form of a registration
fee waiver (full or partial). As this is limited, we ask the students that
would like to take the advantage of this support to submit a short application.
The details on how to apply will be available in due course from the AVoCS
webpage.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
Submissions of full papers to the workshop must not have been published
or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions
will be peer-reviewed and judged on the basis of originality, contribution
to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the
workshop. Submissions are handled via Easychair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=avocs2015

The papers must be written in English and not exceed 15 pages and should
use the dedicated AVoCS 2015 EASST template available rom the the
following link (for LaTeX and Word):

http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/eceasst

AVoCS also encourages the submissions of research ideas in order to stimulate
discussions at the workshop. Reports on ongoing work or surveys on work
published elsewhere are welcome. The Programme Committee will select
research ideas on the basis of submitted abstracts according to significance
and general interest. Research ideas must be written in English and not exceed
2 pages using the EASST template. The presentation of these ideas will be organised
around discussions, where the presenter should also prepare a set of question in
which the audience will discuss.

PROCEEDINGS
At the workshop, pre-proceedings will be available in the form of a Heriot-Watt
University Technical Report; this report will also include the research ideas.
After the workshop, the authors of accepted full papers will have about one
month in order to revise their papers for publication in the workshop post-
proceedings which will appear in the Electronic Communications of the EASST
Open Access Journal. Research ideas will not be part of the proceedings in the
Open Access Journal.

SPECIAL SCP JOURNAL ISSUE
Authors of a selection of the best papers presented at the workshop will be
invited to submit extended versions of their work for publication in a
special issue of Elsevier's journal Science of Computer Programming.
