[TYPES/announce] OCL 2015: ** Deadline Extension ** Submit Your Paper Until July 26, 2015
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] (Apologies for duplicates) If you are working on the foundations, methods, or tools for OCL or textual modelling, you should now finalise your submission for the OCL workshop! *** The submission deadline has been extended to July 26th, 2015! *** CALL FOR PAPERS 15th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling Tools and Textual Model Transformations Co-located with ACM/IEEE 18th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2015) September 28th, 2015, Ottawa, Canada http://ocl2015.lri.fr 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 to 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, -- meta-modeling 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 - Tools that support textual modeling languages (e.g., verification of OCL formulae, runtime monitoring of invariants) - 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 tools that support - in a very broad sense - textual modeling languages (if you have implemented OCL.js to run OCL in a web browser, this is the right workshop to present your work) as well as textual model transformations. Venue = The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS 2015 Conference in Ottawa, Canada. 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, 2013 in Miami, and 2014 in Valencia, Spain. 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 === Three types of papers will be considered: * short papers (between 6 and 8 pages) describing ideas, * tool papers (between 6 and 8 pages), and * full papers (between 12 and 16 pages) in LNCS format. Submissions should be uploaded to EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl20150). The program committee will review the
[TYPES/announce] PhD Position in Verified Voting at ANU
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position in the Logic and Computation Group at the Australian National University. Project: Trustworthy Electronic Voting Supervisors: Dirk Pattinson and Rajeev Gore Starting: December 2015 Contact: Dirk Pattinson (dirk.pattin...@anu.edu.au) Deadline: August 15, 2015 Project Summary Verifiable vote counting is one of the cornerstones of a trustworthy electronic voting system. Correctness and trust can be achieved by understanding voting protocols, specified textually in legislation, as formal rules. Vote counting can then be cast as successive rule application, where the sequence of rule application serves as an independently verifiable certificate attesting to the correctness of the count. The project offers a wide range of activities, ranging from foundations, rule design, efficiency considerations to concrete case studies. The project seeks to further investigate this idea and apply it to real-world voting systems and mainly deals with the following aspects: - generation of provably correct vote counting functions from rules - efficiency of rule-based vote counting and certificate checking - formal proofs of meta-properties of voting protocols - case studies with real-world voting protocol - minimising the gap between formal rules and legal specification Small Print - the studentship is open to individuals of any nationality. - the Logic and Computation Group (http://logic.cecs.anu.edu.au/) is part of the Research School of Computer Science (http://cs.anu.edu.au/) at the Australian National University (http://www.anu.edu.au/). - We are based in Canberra, Australia, the top-ranking region of the 2014 OECD quality of life survey (http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/canberra-named-the-best-place-in-the-worldagain-20141006-10r5sp.html) - We actively seek to promote diversity in our workplace.
