[TYPES/announce] POPL 2015: Second call for papers
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] 42nd ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL 2015) http://popl.mpi-sws.org/2015/ January 15-17, 2015 Mumbai, India Call for Papers Scope The annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages is a forum for the discussion of all aspects of programming languages and programming systems. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcome, on topics ranging from formal frameworks to experience reports. Papers discussing new ideas and new areas are encouraged, as are papers (often called pearls) that elucidate existing concepts in ways that yield new insights. We are looking for any submission with the potential to make enduring contributions to the theory, design, implementation or application of programming languages. Important dates, etc - Submisssion URL https://popl15.hotcrp.com/ Paper registration 3PM US EDT (UTC-4) July 3, 2014 Paper submission3PM US EDT (UTC-4) July 8, 2014 Author response Sep 6-9, 2014 Author notification Sep 30, 2014 Camera-ready deadline Oct 28, 2014 POPL 2015 Jan 15-17, 2015 Co-located events Jan 11-14, 18, 2015 Evaluation The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each submission as well as its accessibility to both experts and the general POPL audience. All papers will be judged on significance, originality, relevance, correctness, and clarity. Explaining a known idea in a new way may make as strong a contribution as inventing a new idea. Hence, we encourage the submission of pearls: elegant essays that explain an old idea, but do so in a new way that clarifies the idea and yields new insights. There is no formal separation of categories; pearls will be held to the same standards as any other paper. Advice on writing pearls can be found in the ICFP 2006 Call for Papers. Each paper, pearl or otherwise, should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and comparing it with previous work. Authors should strive to make their papers understandable to a broad audience. Advice on writing technical papers can be found on the SIGPLAN Author Information page: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author A document that details principles underlying organizational and reviewing policies can be found here: http://popl.mpi-sws.org/PrinciplesofPOPL.pdf Submission guidelines Prior to the registration deadline, the authors will register their paper by uploading information on the submission title, abstract (of at most 300 words), authors, topics, and conflicts to the conference web site. Papers that are not registered on time will be rejected. Prior to the final paper submission deadline, the authors will upload their full paper of no more than 12 pages (including bibliography and appendices) formatted according to the ACM proceedings format. Papers may be resubmitted multiple times up until the deadline. The last version submitted will be the version that is reviewed. Papers that exceed the length requirement or are submitted late will be rejected. All deadlines are firm. We encourage authors to provide any supplementary material that is required to support the claims made in the paper, such as detailed proofs, proof scripts, or experimental data. These materials should be uploaded at submission time, as a single pdf or a tarball, not via a URL. It will be made available to reviewers only after they have submitted their first-draft reviews and hence need not be anonymized. Reviewers are under no obligation to look at the supplementary material but may refer to it if they have questions about the material in the body of the paper. Templates for ACM format are available for Word Perfect, Microsoft Word, and LaTeX at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author (use the 9 pt preprint template). Submissions should be in PDF and printable on US Letter and A4 sized paper. Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy and the ACM Policy on Plagiarism. Concurrent submissions to other conferences, workshops, journals, or similar forums of publication are not allowed. Republication Policy: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication Plagiarism Policy: http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism_policy AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) POPL
[TYPES/announce] Second Call for Papers: OCL 2014
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] (Apologies for duplicates) CALL FOR PAPERS 14th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling Applications and Case Studies (OCL 2014) Co-located with ACM/IEEE 17th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2014) September 28-30 (tbc), 2014, VALENCIA, SPAIN http://www.software.imdea.org/OCL2014/ Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical notation. Such visual representations enable direct intuitive capturing of reality, but some of their features are difficult to formalize and lack the level of precision required to create complete and unambiguous specifications. Limitations of the graphical notations encouraged the development of text-based modeling languages that either integrate with or replace graphical notations for modeling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF, Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots in formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases. The goal of this workshop is create a forum where researchers and practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds of textual languages can directly interact, report advances, share results, identify tools for language development, and discuss appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options for potential cooperation. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) === - Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms - Algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations in the context of textual modeling languages for -- validation, verification, and testing, -- model transformation and code generation, -- metamodeling and DSLs, and -- query and constraint specifications - Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modeling languages - Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modeling expressions - Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modeling languages - Complexity results for textual modeling languages - Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating textual modeling tools and algorithms - Successful applications of textual modeling languages - Case studies on industrial applications of textual modeling languages - Experience reports -- usage of textual modeling languages and tools in complex domains, -- usability of textual modeling languages and tools for end-users - Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modeling languages - Innovative textual modeling tools - Comparison, evaluation and integration of modeling languages - Correlation between modeling languages and modeling tasks This year, we particularly encourage submissions describing applications and case studies of textual modeling as well as test suites and benchmark collections for evaluating textual modeling tools. Venue = The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS 2014 Conference in Valencia, Spain. It continues the series of OCL workshops held at UML/MODELS conferences: York (2000), Toronto (2001), San Francisco (2003), Lisbon (2004), Montego Bay (2005), Genova (2006), Nashville (2007), Toulouse (2008), Denver (2009), Oslo (2010), Zurich (2011, at the TOOLs conference), 2012 in Innsbruck, and 2013 in Miami. Similar to its predecessors, the workshop addresses both people from academia and industry. The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration of OCL and other textual modeling languages, as well as tools for textual modeling, and for disseminating good practice and discussing the new requirements for textual modeling. Workshop Format === The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions. Submissions === Two types of papers will be considered: * short papers (6 pages) and * full papers (10 pages) in LNCS format. Submissions should be uploaded to EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl2014). The program committee will review the submissions (minimum 2 reviews per paper, usually 3 reviews) and select papers according to their relevance and interest for discussions that will take place at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published online in a pre-conference edition of CEUR (http://www.ceur-ws.org). Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their workshop paper to a special issue of the Electronic Communications of the EASST (http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/eceasst)
