[Caml-list] Third Call for Papers: DAMP 2010

DAMP 2010: Workshop on
Declarative Aspects of Multicore Programming
Madrid, SPAIN
(colocated with POPL 2010)
January, 2010
damp10.cs.nmsu.edu
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 21, 2009

The advent of multicore architectures has profoundly increased the
importance of research in parallel computing. Modern platforms are
becoming more complex and heterogenous and novel solutions are needed
to account for their peculiarities.
Multicore architectures will differ in significant ways from their
multisocket predecessors. For example, the communication to compute
bandwidth ratio is likely to be higher, which will positively impact
performance. More generally, multicore architectures introduce several
new dimensions of variability in both performance guarantees and
architectural contracts, such as the memory model, that may not
stabilize for several generations of product.

Programs written in functional or (constraint-)logic programming
languages, or in other highly declarative languages with a controlled
use of side effects, can greatly simplify parallel programming. Such
declarative programming allows for a deterministic semantics even
when the underlying implementation might be highly non-deterministic.
In addition to simplifying programming this can simplify debugging and
analyzing correctness.

DAMP 2010 is the fifth in a series of one-day workshops seeking to
explore ideas in declarative programming language design that will
greatly simplify programming for multicore architectures, and more
generally for tightly coupled parallel architectures. The emphasis
will be on (constraint-)logic and functional programming, but any
declarative programming language ideas that aim to raise the level of
abstraction are welcome. DAMP seeks to gather together researchers in
declarative approaches to parallel programming and to foster cross
fertilization across different approaches.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* investigation of applications of logic, constraint logic, and
functional programing to multicore programing
* run-time issues of exploitation of parallelism using declarative
programming approaches (e.g., garbage collection, scheduling)
* architectural impact on exploitation of parallelism from
declarative languages
* type systems and analysis for accurately detecting dependencies,
aliasing, side effects, and impure features
* language level declarative constructs for expressing parallelism
* declarative language specification for the description of data
placement and distribution
* compilation and static analysis techniques to support
exploitation of parallelism from declarative languages (e.g.,
granularity control)
* practical experiences and challenges arising from parallel
declarative programming
* technology for debugging parallel programs
* design and implementation of domain-specific declarative
languages for multicore programming

[Caml-list] Call for Papers: TLDI 2010

                         TLDI 2010                     

 

                *** First Call for Papers ***

 

             The Fifth ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on

          Types in Language Design and Implementation

 

              Madrid, Spain, January 23, 2010

                (Co-located with POPL 2010)

 

        http://research.microsoft.com/~akenn/tldi2010/

 

                Submission Deadline: 5 October 2009

 

The role of types and proofs in all aspects of language design,

compiler construction, and software development has expanded greatly

in recent years. Type systems, type-based analyses and type-theoretic

deductive systems have been central to advances in compilation

techniques for modern programming languages, verification of safety

and security properties of programs, program transformation and

optimization, and many other areas. The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Types

in Language Design and Implementation brings researchers together to

share new ideas and results concerning all aspects of types and

programming, and is now an annual event. TLDI 2010 is the fifth

workshop in the series and will be co-located with POPL in Madrid,

Spain in January 2010.

 

Submissions for TLDI 2010 are invited on all interactions of types

with language design, implementation, and programming

methodology. This includes both practical applications and theoretical

aspects. TLDI 2010 specifically encourages papers from a broad field

of programming language and compiler researchers, including those

working on object-oriented, dynamically-typed or late-bound languages,

systems programming, mobile-code or security, as well as traditional

fully-static type systems. Topics of interest include:

 

   * Typed intermediate languages and type-directed compilation

   * Type-based language support for safety and security

   * Types for interoperability

   * Type systems for system programming languages

   * Type-based program analysis, transformation, and optimization

   * Dependent types and type-based proof assistants

   * Types for security protocols, concurrency, and distributed computing

   * Type inference and type reconstruction

   * Type-based specifications of data structures and program invariants

   * Type-based memory management

   * Proof-carrying code and certifying compilation

   * Types and objects

 

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list; papers on novel

utilizations of type information are welcome. Authors concerned about

the suitability of a topic are encouraged to inquire via electronic

mail to the program chair prior to submission.

 

Submission Guidelines:

 

Authors should submit a full paper of no more than 12 pages (including

bibliography and appendices) by Monday 5th October, 2009. The

submission deadline and length limitations are firm. Submissions that

do not meet these guidelines will not be considered.

 

All submissions should be in standard ACM SIGPLAN conference format:

two columns, nine-point font on a ten-point baseline. Detailed

formatting guidelines are available on the SIGPLAN Author Information

page, along with a LaTeX class file and template.

 

Papers must be submitted electronically via the conference website in

Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and must be formatted for US Letter

size (8.5"x11") paper. Authors for whom this is a hardship should contact

the program chair before the deadline.

 

Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication

Policy. Submissions should contain original research not published or

submitted for publication elsewhere.

 

Important Dates:

 

- Submission of papers: 5 October 2009 (Monday)

- Notification:         6 November 2009 (Friday)

FM 2009 is the sixteenth in a series of symposia of the
Formal Methods Europe association, and the second one
that is organized as a world congress. Ten years after
FM'99, the 1st World Congress, the formal methods
communities from all over the world will once again have
an opportunity to meet. FM 2009 will be both an
opportunity to celebrate, and an opportunity to join in
when enthusiastic researchers and practitioners from a
diversity of backgrounds and schools come together to
discuss their ideas and experiences.

The workshop on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and
Experiments (VSTTE 2009) will take place on November the
2nd. The focus of this workshop will be on tools, as
previous VSTTE conferences in Zurich and Toronto
emphasised theories and experiments. Consisting of
contributed papers and invited talks, the workshop will
focus on the tools behind the development of systematic
methods for specifying, building, and verifying
high-quality software. This includes topics like:

* Program logic
* Specification and verification techniques
* Tool support for specification languages
* Tool for various design methodologies
* Tool integration and plug-ins
* Automation in formal verification
* Tool comparisons and benchmark repositories
* Combination of tools and techniques
(e.g. formal vs. semiformal, software specification
vs. engineering techniques)
* Customizing tools for particular applications

Papers about tool architectures, and their achievements
are most welcome. The contributed papers, which should
report on previously unpublished work, can reflect
current and preliminary work in areas of software
verification. New technical results, overviews of new
developments in software verification projects, short
papers accompanying tool demonstrations, as well as
position papers on how to further advance the goal of
verified software are all welcome.

[Caml-list] Call for Papers: PLPV 2010

Call For Papers

Programming Languages meets Program Verification (PLPV) 2010

http://slang.soe.ucsc.edu/plpv10/

Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Madrid, Spain
Affiliated with POPL 2010


Overview: The goal of PLPV is to foster and stimulate research at the
intersection of programming languages and program verification. Work
in this area typically attempts to reduce the burden of program
verification by taking advantage of particular semantic and/or
structural properties of the programming language. One example is
dependently typed programming languages, which leverage a language's
type system to specify and check richer than usual specifications,
possibly with programmer-provided proof terms. Another example is
extended static checking systems like Spec#, which extends C# with
pre- and postconditions along with a static verifier for these
contracts.

We invite submissions on all aspects, both theoretical and practical,
of the integration of programming language and program verification
technology. To encourage cross-pollination between different
communities, we seek a broad the scope for PLPV. In particular,
submissions may have diverse foundations for verification (type-based,
Hoare-logic-based, etc), target diverse kinds of programming languages
(functional, imperative, object-oriented, etc), and apply to diverse
kinds of program properties (data structure invariants, security
properties, temporal protocols, etc).

Submissions: Submissions should fall into one of the following three
categories:

1. Regular research papers that describe new work on the above or
related topics. Submissions in this category have an upper limit
of 12 pages, but shorter submissions are also encouraged.

2. Work-in-progress reports should describe new work that is
ongoing and may not be fully completed or evaluated. Submissions
in this category should be at most 6 pages in total length.

3. Proposals for challenge problems which the author believes is
are useful benchmarks or important domains for language-based
program verification techniques. Submissions in this category
should be at most 6 pages in total length.

Submissions should be prepared with SIGPLAN two-column conference
format. Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN republication
policy. Concurrent submissions to other workshops, conferences,
journals, or similar forums of publication are not allowed.

Publication: Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and appear
in the ACM digital library.

Student Attendees: Students with accepted papers or posters are
encouraged to apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant that will help to cover
travel expenses to PLPV. Details on the PAC program and the
application can be found on the workshop web page. PAC also offers
support for companion travel.
