  6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TEST AND PROOFS (TAP 2012)
  http://lifc.univ-fcomte.fr/tap2012/
  May 31 - June 1, 2012, Prague, Czech Republic

   Part of the TOOLS Federated Conferences 2012
http://tools2012.fit.cvut.cz/

The TAP conference is devoted to the convergence of proofs and tests,
to the application of techniques from both sides and their combination
for the advancement of software quality. Test and Proof seem to be
contradictory techniques: if you have proved your program to be
correct, it is fruitless to comb it for bugs; and if you are testing
it, that is surely a sign that you have given up on any hope to prove
its correctness.  Accordingly, proofs and tests have, since the onset
of software engineering research, been pursued by distinct
communities.

However, the development of both approaches lead to the discovery of
common issues and to the realization that each may need the other. The
emergence of model checking has been one of the first signs that
contradiction may yield to complementarity. Further evidence give test
data generation techniques from models or programs which boil down to
constraint resolution techniques for relatively large formula; the
advent of powerful SMT solvers have therefore powered new testing
techniques.  Finally, since formal, proof-based verification is
costly, testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to
detect errors early and to improve cost effectivity.  Summing up, in
the past few years an increasing number of research efforts have
encountered the need for combining proofs and tests, dropping earlier
dogmatic views of incompatibility and taking instead the best of what
each of these software engineering domains has to offer.

The TAP conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in the converging fields of testing and proving, and will offer
a generous allocation of papers, panels and informal discussions.

Topics of interest cover theory definitions, tool constructions and 
experimentations and include (other topics related to TAP are welcome):
- Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage criteria)
  and from proving to testing
- Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
- New problematics in automated reasoning emerging from specificities
  of test generation
- Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests
- Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive
  techniques such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic
  execution, constraint logic programming
- Model-based testing and verification
- Generation of specifications by deduction
- Automatic bug finding
- Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis
- Formal frameworks
- Tool descriptions and experience reports
- Case studies combining tests and proofs
- Applying combination of test and proof techniques to new application 
  domains such as validating security procotols or vulnerability
  detection of programs

  CALL FOR PAPERS 
  STVR Special Issue on Tests and Proofs
http://lifc.univ-fcomte.fr/tap2012/stvr/

The Software Testing, Verification  Reliability (STVR) journal
(http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/13635/home) invites 
authors to submit papers to a Special Issue on Tests and Proofs.

Background
==
The increasing use of software and the growing system complexity make
focused software testing a challenging task. Recent years have seen an
increasing industrial and academic interest in the use of static and
dynamic analysis techniques together. Success has been reported
combining different test techniques such as model-based testing,
structural testing, or concolic testing with static techniques such as
program slicing, dependencies analysis, model-checking, abstract
interpretation, predicate abstraction, or verification. This special
issue serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners to
present theory, results, experience and advances in Tests and Proofs
(TAP).

Topics
==
This special issue focuses on all topics relevant to TAP. In
particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
* New challenges in automated reasoning emerging from
  specificities of test generation
* Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests
* Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive
  techniques such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic
  execution, constraint logic programming, SAT and SMT solving
* Model-based testing and verification
* Automatic bug finding
* Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis
* Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage
  criteria) and from proving to testing
* Formal frameworks for test and proof
* Tool descriptions, experience reports and evaluation of test and
  proof
* Case studies combining tests and proofs
* Applying combination of test and proof techniques to new
  application domains such as validating security procotols or
  vulnerability detection of programs
* The processes, techniques, and tools that support test and proof

Submission Information
==
The deadline for submissions is 17th December, 2012. Notification of
decisions will be given by April 15th, 2013.

All submissions must contain original unpublished work not being
considered for publication elsewhere. Original extensions to
conference papers - identifing clearly additional contributions - are
also encouraged unless prohibited by copyright. Submissions will be
refereed according to standard procedures for Software Testing,
Verification and Reliability.  Please submit your paper electronically
using the Software Testing, Verification  Reliability manuscript

7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TESTS AND PROOFS (TAP 2013)
http://www.spacios.eu/TAP2013

Budapest, Hungary, June 18-19, 2013

The TAP conference is devoted to the synergy of proofs and tests, to the
application of techniques from both sides and their combination for the
advancement of software quality.
Testing and proving seem to be contradictory techniques: once you have
proved your program to be correct then additional testing seems
pointless; on the other hand, when such a proof in not feasible, then
testing the program seems to be the only option. This view has dominated
the research community since the dawn of computer science, and has
resulted in distinct communities pursuing the seemingly orthogonal
research areas.

However, the development of both approaches has lead to the discovery of
common issues and to the realization of potential synergy. Perhaps, use
of model checking in testing was one of the first signs that a
counterexample to a proof may be interpreted as a test case. Recent
breakthroughs in deductive techniques such as satisfiability modulo
theories, abstract interpretation, and interactive theorem proving, have
paved the way for new and practically effective methods of powering
testing techniques. Moreover, since formal, proof-based verification is
costly, testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to
detect errors early and to improve cost effectiveness. Summing up, in
the past few years an increasing number of research efforts have

[Haskell] CFP: International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling (OCL 2017)

2017-02-22 Thread Achim D. Brucker
(Apologies for duplicates)


CALL FOR PAPERS
   17th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling

   Co-located with 
  STAF 2017 SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES: APPLICATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS
 July 20, 2017, Marburg, Germany
   http://oclworkshop.github.io


Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical notation.
Such visual representations enable direct intuitive capturing of reality,
but they have weaknesses: for example, detailed visual representations bear
the risk of becoming overcrowded faster than textual models and some of
the visual features lack the level of precision required to create complete
and unambiguous specifications. These weaknesses of 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

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 applications and
case studies of textual modeling as well as test suites and benchmark 
collections
for evaluating textual modeling tools.

## Venue
This workshop will be organized as a part of STAF 2017 Conferenze in Marburg, 
Germany. It was previously organized as part of the MODELS conference. Similar 
to its predecessors , the workshop addresses both people from academia and
industry . The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration of

2017-04-29 Thread Achim D. Brucker
(Apologies for duplicates)

 New Deadline: May 7, 2017
CALL FOR PAPERS
   17th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling

   Co-located with 
  STAF 2017 SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES: APPLICATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS
 July 20, 2017, Marburg, Germany
   http://oclworkshop.github.io


Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical notation.
Such visual representations enable direct intuitive capturing of reality,
but they have weaknesses: for example, detailed visual representations bear
the risk of becoming overcrowded faster than textual models and some of
the visual features lack the level of precision required to create complete
and unambiguous specifications. These weaknesses of 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

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 applications and
case studies of textual modeling as well as test suites and benchmark 
collections
for evaluating textual modeling tools.

## Venue
This workshop will be organized as a part of STAF 2017 Conferenze in Marburg, 
Germany. It was previously organized as part of the MODELS conference. Similar 
to its predecessors , the workshop addresses both people from academia and
industry . The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration of

   MODELS 2019 ACM/IEEE 22nd International Conference on Model
  Driven Engineering Languages and System,
September 15-20, 2019, Munich, Germany
 http://oclworkshop.github.io

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 (e.g., OCL, textual MOF, Epsilon, or Alloy) 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

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms
- Mathematical models and/or formal semantics for textual modeling languages
- 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)
- Model-driven security using 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

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.

  6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TEST AND PROOFS (TAP 2012)
  http://lifc.univ-fcomte.fr/tap2012/
  May 31 - June 1, 2012, Prague, Czech Republic

   Part of the TOOLS Federated Conferences 2012
http://tools2012.fit.cvut.cz/

The TAP conference is devoted to the convergence of proofs and tests,
to the application of techniques from both sides and their combination
for the advancement of software quality. Test and Proof seem to be
contradictory techniques: if you have proved your program to be
correct, it is fruitless to comb it for bugs; and if you are testing
it, that is surely a sign that you have given up on any hope to prove
its correctness.  Accordingly, proofs and tests have, since the onset
of software engineering research, been pursued by distinct
communities.

However, the development of both approaches lead to the discovery of
common issues and to the realization that each may need the other. The
emergence of model checking has been one of the first signs that
contradiction may yield to complementarity. Further evidence give test
data generation techniques from models or programs which boil down to
constraint resolution techniques for relatively large formula; the
advent of powerful SMT solvers have therefore powered new testing
techniques.  Finally, since formal, proof-based verification is
costly, testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to
detect errors early and to improve cost effectivity.  Summing up, in
the past few years an increasing number of research efforts have
encountered the need for combining proofs and tests, dropping earlier
dogmatic views of incompatibility and taking instead the best of what
each of these software engineering domains has to offer.

The TAP conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in the converging fields of testing and proving, and will offer
a generous allocation of papers, panels and informal discussions.

Topics of interest cover theory definitions, tool constructions and 
experimentations and include (other topics related to TAP are welcome):
- Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage criteria)
  and from proving to testing
- Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
- New problematics in automated reasoning emerging from specificities
  of test generation
- Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests
- Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive
  techniques such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic
  execution, constraint logic programming
- Model-based testing and verification
- Generation of specifications by deduction
- Automatic bug finding
- Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis
- Formal frameworks
- Tool descriptions and experience reports
- Case studies combining tests and proofs
- Applying combination of test and proof techniques to new application 
  domains such as validating security procotols or vulnerability
  detection of programs

communities.

However, the development of both approaches lead to the discovery of
common issues and to the realization that each may need the other. The
emergence of model checking has been one of the first signs that
contradiction may yield to complementarity. Further evidence give test
data generation techniques from models or programs which boil down to
constraint resolution techniques for relatively large formula; the
advent of powerful SMT solvers have therefore powered new testing
techniques.  Finally, since formal, proof-based verification is
costly, testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to
detect errors early and to improve cost effectivity.  Summing up, in
the past few years an increasing number of research efforts have
encountered the need for combining proofs and tests, dropping earlier
dogmatic views of incompatibility and taking instead the best of what
each of these software engineering domains has to offer.

The TAP conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in the converging fields of testing and proving, and will offer
a generous allocation of papers, panels and informal discussions.

Topics of interest cover theory definitions, tool constructions and 
experimentations and include (other topics related to TAP are welcome):
- Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage criteria)
  and from proving to testing
- Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
- New problematics in automated reasoning emerging from specificities
  of test generation
- Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests
- Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive
  techniques such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic
  execution, constraint logic programming
- Model-based testing and verification
- Generation of specifications by deduction
- Automatic bug finding
- Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis
- Formal frameworks
- Tool descriptions and experience reports
- Case studies combining tests and proofs
- Applying combination of test and proof techniques to new application 
  domains such as validating security procotols or vulnerability
  detection of programs

The TAP conference is devoted to the convergence of proofs and tests,
to the application of techniques from both sides and their combination
for the advancement of software quality. Test and Proof seem to be
contradictory techniques: if you have proved your program to be
correct, it is fruitless to comb it for bugs; and if you are testing
it, that is surely a sign that you have given up on any hope to prove
its correctness.  Accordingly, proofs and tests have, since the onset
of software engineering research, been pursued by distinct
communities.

However, the development of both approaches lead to the discovery of
common issues and to the realization that each may need the other. The

Apologies for duplicates.

  CALL FOR PAPERS 
  STVR Special Issue on Tests and Proofs
http://lifc.univ-fcomte.fr/tap2012/stvr/

The Software Testing, Verification  Reliability (STVR) journal
(http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/13635/home) invites 
authors to submit papers to a Special Issue on Tests and Proofs.

Background
==
The increasing use of software and the growing system complexity make
focused software testing a challenging task. Recent years have seen an
increasing industrial and academic interest in the use of static and
dynamic analysis techniques together. Success has been reported
combining different test techniques such as model-based testing,
structural testing, or concolic testing with static techniques such as
program slicing, dependencies analysis, model-checking, abstract
interpretation, predicate abstraction, or verification. This special
issue serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners to
present theory, results, experience and advances in Tests and Proofs
(TAP).

Topics
==
This special issue focuses on all topics relevant to TAP. In
particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
* New challenges in automated reasoning emerging from
  specificities of test generation
* Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests
* Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive
  techniques such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic
  execution, constraint logic programming, SAT and SMT solving
* Model-based testing and verification
* Automatic bug finding
* Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis
* Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage
  criteria) and from proving to testing
* Formal frameworks for test and proof
* Tool descriptions, experience reports and evaluation of test and
  proof
* Case studies combining tests and proofs
* Applying combination of test and proof techniques to new
  application domains such as validating security procotols or
  vulnerability detection of programs
* The processes, techniques, and tools that support test and proof

Submission Information
==
The deadline for submissions is 17th December, 2012. Notification of
decisions will be given by April 15th, 2013.

All submissions must contain original unpublished work not being
considered for publication elsewhere. Original extensions to
conference papers - identifing clearly additional contributions - are
also encouraged unless prohibited by copyright. Submissions will be
refereed according to standard procedures for Software Testing,
Verification and Reliability.  Please submit your paper electronically
using the Software Testing, Verification  Reliability manuscript
submission site. Select Special Issue Paper and enter Tests and
Proofs as title.

CALL FOR PAPERS

7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TESTS AND PROOFS (TAP 2013)
http://www.spacios.eu/TAP2013

Budapest, Hungary, June 18-19, 2013

The TAP conference is devoted to the synergy of proofs and tests, to the
application of techniques from both sides and their combination for the
advancement of software quality.
Testing and proving seem to be contradictory techniques: once you have
proved your program to be correct then additional testing seems

the research community since the dawn of computer science, and has

theories, abstract interpretation, and interactive theorem proving, have
paved the way for new and practically effective methods of powering
testing techniques. Moreover, since formal, proof-based verification is
costly, testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to
detect errors early and to improve cost effectiveness. Summing up, in
the past few years an increasing number of research efforts have
encountered the need for combining proofs and tests, dropping earlier
dogmatic views of incompatibility and taking instead the best of what

working in the converging fields of testing and proving, and will offer
a generous allocation of papers, panels and informal discussions.

Topics of interest cover theory definitions, tool constructions and
experimentations, and include (other topics related to TAP are welcome):
- Bridging the gap between concrete and symbolic techniques, e.g. using
  proof search in satisfiability modulo theories solvers to enhance
  various testing techniques
- Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage criteria)
  and from proving to testing
- Program proving with the aid of testing techniques
- New problematics in automated reasoning emerging from specificities of
  test generation
- Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests
- Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive techniques
  such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic execution,
  constraint logic programming
- Model-based testing and verification
- Generation of specifications by deduction
- Automatic bug finding
- Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis
- Formal frameworks
- Tool descriptions and experience reports
- Case studies combining tests and proofs
- Domain specific applications of testing and proving to new application
  domains such as validating security protocols, vulnerability detection
  of programs, security

CALL FOR PAPERS

7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TESTS AND PROOFS (TAP 2013)
http://www.spacios.eu/TAP2013

Budapest, Hungary, June 18-19, 2013

The TAP conference is devoted to the synergy of proofs and tests, to the
application of techniques from both sides and their combination for the
advancement of software quality.
Testing and proving seem to be contradictory techniques: once you have
proved your program to be correct then additional testing seems
pointless; on the other hand, when such a proof in not feasible, then
testing the program seems to be the only option. This view has dominated
the research community since the dawn of computer science, and has
resulted in distinct communities pursuing the seemingly orthogonal
research areas.

However, the development of both approaches has lead to the discovery of
common issues and to the realization of potential synergy. Perhaps, use
of model checking in testing was one of the first signs that a
counterexample to a proof may be interpreted as a test case. Recent
breakthroughs in deductive techniques such as satisfiability modulo
theories, abstract interpretation, and interactive theorem proving, have
paved the way for new and practically effective methods of powering
testing techniques. Moreover, since formal, proof-based verification is
costly, testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to
detect errors early and to improve cost effectiveness. Summing up, in
the past few years an increasing number of research efforts have
encountered the need for combining proofs and tests, dropping earlier
dogmatic views of incompatibility and taking instead the best of what
each of these software engineering domains has to offer.

The TAP conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
