Formal techniques can help analyze programs, precisely describe program
behavior, and verify program properties. Languages such as Java, C#, and Scala
are interesting targets for formal techniques due to their ubiquity and wide
user base, stable and well-defined interfaces and platforms, and powerful (but
also complex) libraries. New languages and applications in this space are
continually arising, resulting in new PL research challenges.
Work on formal techniques and tools and on the formal underpinnings of
programming languages themselves naturally complement each other. FTfJP is an
established workshop which has run annually since 1999 alongside ECOOP, with
the goal of bringing together people working in both fields. The workshop has a
broad PL theme; the most important criterion is that submissions will generate
interesting discussions within this community. Example topics of interest
include:
* Language design and semantics
* Type systems
* Concurrency and new application domains
* Specification and verification of program properties
* Program analysis (static or dynamic)
* Security
* Pearls (programs or proofs)
FTfJP welcomes submissions on technical contributions, case studies, experience
reports, challenge proposals, and position papers. Just as the number and the
feature set of Java-like languages is expanding, the term "Java-like" should be
interpreted broadly.
Submissions
Contributions related to formal techniques for Java-like programs are sought in
two categories:
Full Papers. In 6 two-column pages, the paper should present a technical
contribution, case study, or detailed experience report. We welcome both
complete and incomplete technical results; ongoing work is particularly
welcome, provided it is substantial enough to stimulate interesting discussions.
Short Papers. In 2 two-column pages, the paper should advocate a promising
research direction, or otherwise present a position likely to stimulate
discussion at the workshop. We encourage e.g. established researchers to set
out a personal vision, and beginning researchers to present a planned path to a
PhD.
Both types of contributions will benefit from feedback received at the
workshop. Submissions will be peer reviewed, and will be evaluated based on
their clarity and based on their potential to generate interesting discussions.
The format of the workshop encourages interaction. FTfJP is a forum in which a
wide range of people share their expertise, from experienced researchers to
beginning PhD students.
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library by default, though
authors will be able to opt out of this publication, if desired. The use of
ACM's template for the SIGPLAN
format<http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> is required. At
least one author of an accepted paper must attend the workshop to present the
work and participate in the discussions.
Important Dates:
* Wed 9th May AOE<https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe>: submission
deadline
* Thu 14th Jun: acceptance notifications
* Sun 17th Jun: early registration deadline (for both main conferences and
workshops)
