[TYPES/announce] CONCUR 2013 - Last Call for Papers
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] [We apologise for multiple copies.] CONCUR 2013 - Last Call for Papers 24th International Conference on Concurrency Theory August 27 - 30, 2013, Buenos Aires Argentina http://concur-conferences.org/concur2013 The purpose of the CONCUR conferences is to bring together researchers, developers, and students in order to advance the theory of concurrency, and promote its applications. INVITED SPEAKERS - Lorenzo Alvisi (University of Texas Austin, USA) - Joost-Pieter Katoen (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) - Philippe Schnoebelen (LSV, CNRS ENS de Cachan, France) - Reinhard Wilhelm (Saarland University, Germany) TOPICS Submissions are solicited in semantics, logics, verification and analysis of concurrent systems. The principal topics include (but are not limited to): - Basic models of concurrency such as abstract machines, domain theoretic models, game theoretic models, process algebras, graph transformation systems and Petri nets; - Logics for concurrency such as modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic logics, temporal logics, and resource logics; - Models of specialized systems such as biology-inspired systems, circuits, hybrid systems, mobile and collaborative systems, multi-core processors, probabilistic systems, real-time systems, service-oriented computing, and synchronous systems; - Verification and analysis techniques for concurrent systems such as abstract interpretation, atomicity checking, model checking, race detection, pre-order and equivalence checking, run-time verification, state-space exploration, static analysis, synthesis, testing, theorem proving, and type systems; - Related programming models such as distributed, component-based, object-oriented, and web services. CO-LOCATED EVENTS 10th Intl. Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems (QEST 2013) 11th Intl. Conf. on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems (FORMATS 2013) 8th Intl. Symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing (TGC 2013) There will be co-located workshops, which take place on August 26 and August 31, and tutorials (associated with QEST) which take place on August 26. PAPER SUBMISSION CONCUR 2013 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports related to the topics mentioned above. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Exceptionally, however, concurrent submissions to CONCUR 2013 and TGC 2013 are allowed, and in fact encouraged for those paper that may potentially enhance both conferences. Authors of such double submissions should identify them to the Program Chairs at the time of submission (by choosing the Regular paper submitted also to TGC category in the EasyChair site). Reviews may be shared between CONCUR 2013 and TGC 2013. Submissions accepted by CONCUR will be considered automatically withdrawn from TGC. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. Contributions must be submitted as PDF files. They should also not exceed 15 pages in length and comply the Springer LNCS style. Papers should be submitted electronically using EasyChair online submission system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=concur2013) The CONCUR 2013 proceedings will be published by Springer in the ArCoSS subseries of LNCS. The proceedings will be available at the conference.

[TYPES/announce] QEST 2013 - Last call for papers
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] [We apologise for multiple copies.] Last Call for Papers 10th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems QEST 2013 http://www.qest.org/qest2013/ August 26th-30th, 2013 - Buenos Aires, Argentina Co-located with CONCUR, FORMATS, and TGC IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract submission 4 March 2013 Paper submission 11 March 2013 Author notification 12 May 2013 Final version 2 June 2013 INVITED SPEAKERS: Lorenzo Alvisi, University of Texas Austin, USA Dimitra Giannakopoulou, NASA Ames Research Center, USA Edmundo de Souza e Silva, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil SCOPE AND TOPICS: QEST is the leading forum on evaluation and verification of computer systems and networks, through stochastic models and measurements. QEST has a broad range of interests - the common thread is that the evaluation be quantitative. The range of performance metrics of interest spans classical measures involving performance and reliability, as well as quantification of properties that are classically qualitative, such as safety, correctness, and security. QEST welcomes measurement-based studies as well as analytic studies. QEST welcomes diversity in the model formalisms and methodologies employed, as well as development of new formalisms and methodologies. QEST is keenly interested in case studies highlighting the role of quantitative evaluation in the design of systems, where the notion of system is broad. Systems of interest include computer hardware and software architectures, communication systems, embedded systems and biological systems. Moreover, tools for supporting the practical application of research results in all of the above areas are of special interest, and therefore tool papers are sought. In short, QEST aims to create a sound methodological basis for assessing and designing systems using quantitative means. EVALUATION OF PAPERS: All submitted papers will be thoroughly judged by at least three reviewers on the basis of their originality, technical quality, scientific or practical contribution to the state of the art, methodology, clarity, and adequacy of references. QEST considers five types of papers with additional reviewing criteria (in no particular order): 1. Theoretical: advance our understanding, apply to non-trivial problems and be mathematically rigorous. 2. Methodological and technical: describe situations that require the development and proposal of new analysis processes and techniques. Process structure and the individual steps should be clearly described. If the methodology has already been evaluated with applications, a brief description of the lessons learned would be very helpful. 3. Application: describes a novel application, and compares with previous results (if any). 4. Tools: should motivate the development of the new tools and the formalisms they support. Tool papers need neither discuss their theoretical underpinnings nor their algorithms. Instead, they should focus on the software architecture and discuss its practical capabilities with particular reference to the size and type of model it can handle within reasonable time and space limits. 5. Tool demonstration: describe a relevant tool, as well as its features, evaluation, or any other information that may demonstrate the merits of the tool. SUBMISSIONS: We invite submissions of original papers related to the aforementioned topics. Submissions must be in English, Springer LNCS format, and must indicate the above paper type. Papers must be prepared in LaTeX, following Springer's LNCS guidelines. Submitted papers should not exceed 16 pages (4 pages for tool demonstrations). Additional material for the aid of the reviewers (e.g., proofs) can be sent in a clearly marked appendix. Papers must be unpublished and not be submitted for publication elsewhere. PC members, except program co-chairs, may submit papers. Papers should be submitted electronically using EasyChair online submission system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qest2013). All accepted papers (including tool demonstrations) must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. A best-paper award will be presented at the conference. The QEST 2013 proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS Series. The proceedings will be available at the conference. As in previous years, we are planning to publish extended versions of selected papers in a special issue of a journal. TUTORIALS: There will be one day of tutorials at the start of the conference. Tutorial proposals (up to 4 pages Springer LNCS format) should be sent to the Tutorial Chair (Lijun Zhang, zh...@imm.dtu.dk) by 11
