Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia
June 27 - July 1, 2016
http://meta2016.pereslavl.ru
Paper submission deadline extended: April 15, 2016
The Fifth International Valentin Turchin Workshop on Metacomputation
(META 2016) aims to bring together researchers working in the areas of
program analysis and program manipulation, collectively referred to as
metacomputation: supercompilation, partial evaluation, distillation,
mixed computation, generalized partial computation, slicing,
verification, as well as cross-fertilization with other modern research
and development directions, and their applications.
This series of workshops is devoted to the memory of Valentin Turchin
(1931-2010).
The workshop will be held in June 27 - July 1, 2016, in an ancient
Russian town Pereslavl-Zalessky, on the bank of Pleshcheevo lake, in
Ailamazyan Program Systems Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Pereslavl-Zalessky belongs to the Golden Ring of the historical sites of
Russia.
The previous workshops in this series were
META 2008 (http://meta2008.pereslavl.ru),
META 2010 (http://meta2010.pereslavl.ru),
META 2012 (http://meta2012.pereslavl.ru),
META 2014 (http://meta2014.pereslavl.ru).
TOPICS OF INTEREST include, but are not limited to
* Distillation
* Generalized partial computation
* Mixed computation
* Partial evaluation
* Program inversion
* Program slicing
* Program verification techniques including theorem proving and
testing
* Supercompilation
* Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects
* Tool descriptions, case studies, tutorials, surveys, comparison of
methods, and problem statements on these topics
IMPORTANT DATES
* April 11 (Monday) - abstract submission due (or ASAP if you read
this later)
* April 15 (Friday) - paper submission due (extended)
* April 29 (Friday) - notification of acceptance
* May 20 (Monday) - camera ready paper due for pre-proceedings

SUBMISSION
Interested researchers are invited to submit full papers or extended
abstracts (sufficient to evaluate the quality of contribution),
describing completed research or work-in-progress, as well as surveys,
tutorials, tools, applications, demonstrations, practical experience,
ideas, concepts, position statements, open problems and discussion
topics.
After several decades of research, metacomputation topics are very
diverse, and we especially welcome surveys and tutorials for
cross-fertilization and discussions of current state of art and future
perspectives.
All submissions will be accepted as PDF file using the LNCS style via
EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=meta2016). Final
papers are to be prepared in LaTeX in the LNCS format following the
Springer LNCS guidelines
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
See additional information on the site http://meta2016.pereslavl.ru.
The proceedings will be published at a local publishing house before the
workshop. They will be made accessible in electronic form via Internet.
