Interaction and Concurrency Experience (ICE) is a series of
international scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer
science researchers with special interest in models, verification,
tools, and programming primitives for complex interactions.


=== HIGHLIGHTS ===

* Distinctive selection procedure
* ICE welcomes full papers to be included in the proceedings
* ICE also welcomes oral communications of already published or
  preliminary work
* Publication in EPTCS
* Special issue in the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in
  Programming (Elsevier) (to be confirmed)

* Invited speakers:
- Helene Coullon (IMT Atlantique)
- More TBA


=== IMPORTANT DATES ===

* 1 May 2021: abstract submission (EXTENDED!)
* 5 May 2021: paper submission (EXTENDED!)
* 4 June 2021: notification
* 18 June 2021: ICE workshop
* 12 July 2021: camera-ready for EPTCS post-proceedings


=== SCOPE ===

The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied
aspects of interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among
components of concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas
of computer science in the broad spectrum ranging from formal
specification and analysis to studies inspired by emerging
computational models.

We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency,
including but not limited to:

* Formal semantics
* Process algebras and calculi
* Models and languages
* Protocols
* Logics and types
* Expressiveness
* Model transformations
* Tools, implementations, and experiments
* Specification and verification
* Coinductive techniques
* Tools and techniques for automation
* Synthesis techniques


=== SELECTION PROCEDURE ===

Since its first edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has
been an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive,
friendly, and constructive discussion amongst authors and PC members
in an online forum.

During the review phase, each submission is published in a dedicated
discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors
of the submission and by all PC members not in conflict with the
submission (the forum preserves anonymity). The forum is used by
reviewers to ask questions, clarifications, and modifications from the
authors, allowing them better to explain and to improve all aspects of
their submission. The evaluation of the submission will take into
account not only the reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion.

As witnessed by the past editions of ICE, this procedure considerably
improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection,
the quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the
workshop.

ICE adopts a light double-blind reviewing process, detailed below.


=== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via OpenReview:

https://openreview.net/group?id=DisCoTec.org/2021/Workshop/ICE

We invite two types of submissions:

* Research papers, original contributions that will be published
  in the workshop post-proceedings. Research papers must not be
  simultaneously submitted to other conferences/workshops with
  refereed proceedings. Research papers should be 3-16 pages plus
  at most 2 pages of references. Short research papers are
  welcome; for example a 5 page short paper fits this category
  perfectly. The submitted PDF can use any LaTeX style (but the
  post-proceedings will use the EPTCS style).

* Oral communications will be presented at the workshop, but will
  not appear in the post-proceedings. This type of contribution
  includes e.g. previously published contributions, preliminary
  work, and position papers. There is no strict page limit for
  this kind of submission but papers of 1-5 pages would be
  appreciated. For example, a one page summary of previously
  published work is welcome in this category.

Authors of research papers must omit their names and institutions from
the title page, they should refer to their other work in the third
person and omit acknowledgements that could reveal their identity or
affiliation. The purpose is to avoid any bias based on authors’
identity characteristics, such as gender, seniority, or nationality,
in the review process. Our goal is to facilitate an unbiased approach
to reviewing by supporting reviewers’ access to works that do not
carry

[Apologies if you receive multiple postings of this email.]

Dear colleagues,

We have two vacancies for tenure-track assistant professors at the Bernoulli
Institute  of the University of
Groningen, The Netherlands.

- One position concerns "Programming Languages and Systems", see here

for details;
- The other position concerns "Data Science and Systems", see here

for details.

Deadline: May 16, 2021.

Both positions are broadly defined: we seek excellent applicants who aim at
a tenure-track position with a special focus on education.

Don't hesitate to contact me in case of questions about the working
environment and our research institute.

Best regards,
Jorge

The ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: 
Software for Humanity (SPLASH) embraces all aspects of software construction 
and delivery to make it the premier conference at the intersection of 
programming, languages, and software engineering. SPLASH is now accepting 
submissions. We invite high-quality submissions describing original and 
unpublished work.



** OOPSLA Research Papers **

Papers that address any aspect of software development are welcome, including 
requirements, modelling, prototyping, design, implementation, generation, 
analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, maintenance, reuse, replacement, 
and retirement of software systems. Papers may address these topics in a 
variety of ways, including new tools (such as languages, program analyses, and 
runtime systems), new techniques (such as methodologies, design processes, code 
organization approaches, and management techniques), and new evaluations (such 
as formalisms and proofs, corpora analyses, user studies, and surveys).


Submissions Due: 16 April 2021

** Onward! Research Papers **

Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do 
with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, 
communities, and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and 
more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet 
proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting 
on programming language and software engineering research.


Submissions Due: 8 May 2021

https://2021.splashcon.org/track/splash-2021-Onward-papers



** Onward! Essays **

Onward! Essays conference is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing 
about topics important to the software community construed broadly. An essay 
can be an exploration of a topic, its impact, or the circumstances of its 
creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead 
the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a 
deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps that by which the 
author reached an understanding of such a topic. The subject area should be 
interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human 
endeavours, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or 
anthropological underpinnings.


Submissions Due: 22 May 2021

** Workshops **


 AGERE 2021 

The AGERE! workshop is aimed at focusing on programming systems, languages and 
applications based on actors, active/concurrent objects, agents and—more 
generally—on high-level programming paradigms which promote decentralized 
control in solving problems and developing software.

The workshop is intended to cover both the theory and the practice of design 
and programming, bringing together researchers working on models, languages and 
technologies, and practitioners developing real-world systems and applications.

Submissions due: 6 August 2021

 BCNC 2021 


The first international workshop on “Beyond Code: No Code,” (BCNC 2021) targets 
one of the most engaging topics currently spanning the software engineering 
community.The No Code movement is making its way through all industries, saving 
time, empowering workers, and creating new possibilities. No Code is changing 
the software industry by accelerating development and opening up opportunities 
for less tech-savvy individuals to create life-changing products.

BCNC 2021 brings together the best in the field to share their knowledge and 
expertise and raise that standard of what could be achieved. Industrial experts 
as well academics join to present the frontier and show us a glimpse of the 
future.
