FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM 2016)

St. Petersburg, Florida, January 18 - 19, 2016
http://conf.researchr.org/track/POPL-2016/pepm-2016-main


The 2016 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad interpretation of
semantics-based program manipulation and continues efforts to expand the scope
of PEPM beyond the traditionally covered areas of partial evaluation and
specialization. Specifically, PEPM will include practical applications of
program transformations such as refactoring tools, and practical
implementation techniques such as rule-based transformation systems. In
addition, the scope of PEPM covers manipulation and transformations of program
and system representations such as structural and semantic models that occur
in the context of model-driven development. In order to reach out to
practitioners, a separate category of tool demonstration papers will be
solicited.


Topics of interest for PEPM’16 include, but are not limited to:

* Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation, partial
 evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active libraries, program
 inversion, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, decompilation, and
 obfuscation.

* Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model
 manipulation such as: abstract interpretation, termination checking,
 binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems, automated testing
 and test case generation.

* Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including
 metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific languages,
 program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming, staged
 computation, and model-driven program generation and transformation.

* Application of the above techniques including case studies of program
 manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source) projects and software
 development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively
 handling realistic applications, benchmarking. Examples of application
 domains include legacy program understanding and transformation, DSL
 implementations, visual languages and end-user programming, scientific
 computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed
 and web-based applications, resource-limited computation, and security. 

To maintain the dynamic and interactive nature of PEPM, we will continue the
category of `short papers’ for tool demonstrations and for presentations of
exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic,
industrial and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar.

Student participants with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to
help cover travel expenses and other support. PAC also offers other support,
such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for
companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for
travel from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the
PAC program, see its web page.

All accepted papers, short papers included, will appear in formal proceedings
published by ACM Press. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital
Library. Selected papers from PEPM’16 will be published in a special issue of
the journal Science of Computer Programming.

PEPM has also established a Best Paper Award. The winner will be announced at
the workshop.


Submission Categories and Guidelines

Regular Research Papers must not exceed 12 pages in ACM Proceedings style
(including appendix). Tool demonstration papers and short papers must not
exceed 6 pages in ACM Proceedings style (including appendix). At least one
author of each accepted contribution must attend the workshop and present the
work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the
described tool is expected. Suggested topics, evaluation criteria, and writing
guidelines for both research tool demonstration papers will be made available
on the PEPM’16 web site.

Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair.

easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pepm2016

Authors using LaTeX to prepare their submissions should use the new improved
SIGPLAN proceedings style. Specifically, use the sigplanconf.cls 9pt template.


Important Dates

* Abstract submission:  Tue, September 8, 2015
* Paper submission: Sun, September 13, 2015 (FIRM)
* Author notification:  Tue, October 20, 2015
* Camera ready copies:  Fri, November 20, 2015
* Workshop: Monday, January 18 - Tuesday, January 19, 2016

Note: The paper submission deadline is firm. The above schedule is tight: We
have absolutely no time to wait for late submissions, and we will have no
deadline extension.

[Haskell] Final CFP: FLOPS 2016, International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming

2015-08-30 Thread Oleg

NEW: revised submission deadlines (Sep 21 for abstracts, Sep 25 for papers)

FLOPS 2016: March 3-6, 2016, Kochi, Japan

Final Call For Papers http://www.info.kochi-tech.ac.jp/FLOPS2016/

Writing down detailed computational steps is not the only way of
programming. The alternative, being used increasingly in practice, is
to start by writing down the desired properties of the result. The
computational steps are then (semi-)automatically derived from these
higher-level specifications. Examples of this declarative style
include functional and logic programming, program transformation and
re-writing, and extracting programs from proofs of their correctness.

FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and
implementors of the declarative programming, to discuss mutually
interesting results and common problems: theoretical advances, their
implementations in language systems and tools, and applications of
these systems in practice. The scope includes all aspects of the
design, semantics, theory, applications, implementations, and teaching
of declarative programming.  FLOPS specifically aims to
promote cross-fertilization between theory and practice and among
different styles of declarative programming.

Scope

FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of the declarative
programming:
 * functional, logic, functional-logic programming, re-writing
   systems, formal methods and model checking, program transformations
   and program refinements, developing programs with the help of theorem
   provers or SAT/SMT solvers;
 * foundations, language design, implementation issues (compilation
   techniques, memory management, run-time systems), applications and
   case studies.

FLOPS promotes cross-fertilization among different styles of
declarative programming. Therefore, submissions must be written to be
understandable by the wide audience of declarative programmers and
researchers. Submission of system descriptions and declarative pearls
are especially encouraged.

Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:
 * Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will
   be judged on originality, correctness, and significance.
 * System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working
   system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design.
 * Declarative pearls: new and excellent declarative programs or
   theories with illustrative applications.
System descriptions and declarative pearls must be explicitly marked
as such in the title.

Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally
published workshops proceedings may be submitted. See also ACM SIGPLAN
Republication Policy.

The proceedings will be published by Springer International Publishing
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, as a printed
volume as well as online in the digital library SpringerLink. 

Post-proceedings: The authors of 4-7 best papers will be invited to
submit the extended version of their FLOPS paper to a special issue of
the journal Science of Computer Programming (SCP).

Submission

Submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 pages long
including references, though pearls are typically shorter. The
formatting has to conform to Springer's guidelines.  Regular research
papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In
case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made
accessible otherwise (e.g., a link to a Web page, or an appendix).
