FOAL: Foundations of Aspect-Oriented Languages

Paper Submission Deadline: Jan 26th, 2014

A one day workshop affiliated with MODULARITY'14 at the University of Lugano 
(USI), Switzerland on April 22, 2014.

THEMES AND GOALS
FOAL is a forum for research in foundations of aspect-oriented and other 
advanced separation of concern mechanisms. Areas of interest include but are 
not limited to:

* Semantics of advanced separation of concern mechanisms,
* Specification and verification for languages with such mechanisms
* Type systems,
* Static analysis,
* Theory of testing,
* Theory of composition,
* Theory of translation (compilation) and rewriting,
* Comparison of different advanced modularization and separation of concern 
mechanisms.

The workshop aims to foster work in foundations, including formal studies, 
promote the exchange of ideas, and encourage workers in the semantics and 
formal methods communities to consider advanced separation of concern 
mechanisms. All theoretical and foundational studies of this topic are welcome. 
Even though the workshop title contains the term "aspect-oriented", the 
workshop is not limited to aspect-oriented programming languages, but welcomes 
topics on other advanced separation of concern mechanisms such as 
feature-oriented or context-oriented programming.

The goals of FOAL are to:
* Make progress on the foundations of aspect-oriented and other advanced 
separation of concern mechanisms.
* Exchange ideas about semantics and formal methods for aspect-oriented and 
other languages with advanced separation of concerns.
* Foster interest within the programming language theory and types communities 
in languages with advanced separation of concerns.
* Foster interest within the formal methods community in aspect-oriented 
programming and other advanced separation of concern mechanisms, and the 
problems of reasoning about them.

WORKSHOP FORMAT:
The planned workshop format is primarily presentation of papers and group 
discussion. Talks will come in two categories: regular (25 minutes plus 5 
minutes of discussion) and short (7 minutes plus 3 minutes of discussion). The 
short talks will allow for presentations of topics for which results are not 
yet available, perhaps for researchers who are seeking feedback on ideas or 
seek collaborations.
We also plan to ensure sufficient time for discussion of each presentation by 
limiting the overall number of talks.

SUBMISSIONS:
Invitation to the workshop will be based on papers selected by the program 
committee; those wishing to attend but not having a paper to submit should 
contact the organizers directly to see if there is sufficient space in the 
workshop.

FOAL solicits regular and short papers on all areas of formal foundations of 
advanced separation of concern mechanisms. Submissions will be read by the 
program committee and designated reviewers. Papers will be selected for regular 
and short presentation at the workshop based on their length, scientific merit, 
innovation, readability, and relevance. Papers previously published or already 
being reviewed by another conference are not eligible. Some papers may not be 
selected for presentation, and some may be selected for presentation in shorter 
talks than their paper length would otherwise command. We will limit the length 
of paper presentations and the number of papers presented to make sure that 
there is enough time for discussion.
