[TYPES/announce] ACM SIGPLAN Scala Symposium 2017: Final Call for Papers
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] ACM SIGPLAN Scala Symposium 2017 co-located with SPLASH 2017 Vancouver, Canada 22-23 October 2017 CALL FOR PAPERS http://conf.researchr.org/track/scala-2017/scala-2017-papers Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages. The Scala Symposium is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share new ideas and results of interest to the Scala community. We welcome a broad spectrum of research topics and many formats. Important dates === * Abstract submission: Jul 2nd, 2017 * Paper submission: Jul 9th, 2017 * Paper notification: Aug 20th, 2017 * Student talk submission: Aug 30th, 2017 * Camera ready: Sep 11th, 2017 * Student talk notification: Sep 17th, 2017 All deadlines are "Anywhere on Earth" (AoE). Topics of Interest == We seek submissions on all topics related to Scala, including (but not limited to): - Language design and implementation – language extensions, optimization, and performance evaluation. - Library design and implementation patterns for extending Scala – stand-alone Scala libraries, embedded domain-specific languages, combining language features, generic and meta-programming. - Formal techniques for Scala-like programs – formalizations of the language, type system, and semantics, formalizing proposed language extensions and variants, dependent object types, type and effect systems. - Concurrent and distributed programming – libraries, frameworks, language extensions, programming models, performance evaluation, experimental results. - Big data and machine learning libraries and applications using the Scala programming language. - Safety and reliability – pluggable type systems, contracts, static analysis and verification, runtime monitoring. - Interoperability with other languages and runtimes, such as JavaScript, Java 8 (lambdas), Graal and others. - Tools – development environments, debuggers, refactoring tools, testing frameworks. - Case studies, experience reports, and pearls. Submission Format = To accommodate the needs of researchers and practitioners, as well as beginners and experts alike, we seek several kinds of submissions, all in **`acmart/sigplan`** style, **10pt** font. - **Full papers** (at most 10 pages, excluding bibliography) - **Short papers** (at most 4 pages, excluding bibliography) - **Tool papers** (at most 4 pages, excluding bibliography) - **Student talks** (short abstract only, in plain text) Accepted papers (either full papers, short papers, or tool papers, but not student talks) will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Detailed information for each kind of submission is given below. Formatting requirements are detailed on the symposium website at http://conf.researchr.org/track/scala-2017/scala-2017-papers#Instructions-for-Authors Please note that at least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the symposium and present the work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected. Full and Short Papers = Full and short papers should describe novel ideas, experimental results, or projects related to the Scala language. In order to encourage lively discussion, submitted papers may describe work in progress. Additionally, short papers may present problems and raise research questions interesting for the Scala language community. All papers will be judged on a combination of correctness, significance, novelty, clarity, and interest to the community. In general, papers should explain their original contributions, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work (also for other languages where appropriate). Tool Papers === Tool papers need not necessarily report original research results; they may describe a tool of interest, report practical experience that will be useful to others, new Scala idioms, or programming pearls. In all cases, such a paper must make a contribution which is of interest to the Scala community, or from which other members of the Scala community can benefit. Where appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a link to the tool's website. For inspiration, you might consider advice in http://conf.researchr.org/track/POPL-2016/pepm-2016-main#Tool-Paper-Advice which we however treat as non-binding. In case of doubts, please contact the program chairs. Student Talks = In addition to regular papers and tool demos, we also solicit short student talks by bachelor/master/PhD students. A

# About
APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a
forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas
in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia but is an
international forum that serves the worldwide programming languages
community.
APLAS is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software
(AAFS), founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many
researchers from Europe and the USA. Past APLAS symposiums were
successfully held in Hanoi ('16), Pohang ('15), Singapore ('14),
Melbourne ('13), Kyoto ('12), Kenting ('11), Shanghai ('10), Seoul
('09), Bangalore ('08), Singapore ('07), Sydney ('06), Tsukuba ('05),
Taipei ('04), and Beijing ('03) after three informal workshops.
Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer's LNCS.
# Topics
The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues broadly
spanning the areas of programming languages and systems. Papers are
solicited on topics such as
- semantics, logics, foundational theory
- design of languages, type systems, and foundational calculi
- domain-specific languages
- compilers, interpreters, abstract machines
- program derivation, synthesis, and transformation
- program analysis, verification, model-checking
- logic, constraint, probabilistic, and quantum programming
- software security
- concurrency and parallelism
- tools and environments for programming and implementation
Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums.
Papers identifying future directions of programming and those
addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms are
especially welcome. Demonstration of systems and tools in the scope of
APLAS are welcome to the System and Tool demonstrations category.
Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are welcome to
consult with program chair prior to submission.
# Submission
We solicit submissions in two categories:
- **Regular research papers** describing original scientific research
results, including system development and case studies. Regular
research papers *should not exceed 18 pages* in the Springer LNCS
format, including bibliography and figures. This category encompasses
both theoretical and implementation (also known as system
descriptions) papers. In either case, submissions should clearly
identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant.
Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance,
correctness, originality, and clarity. System descriptions papers
should contain a link to a working system and will be judged on
originality, usefulness, and design. In case of lack of space,
proofs, experimental results, or any information supporting the
technical results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a
link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them.
- **System and tool demonstrations** describing a demonstration of a
tool or a system that support theory, program construction, reasoning,
or program execution in the scope of APLAS. The main purpose of a tool
paper is to display a completed, robust and well-documented
tool--highlighting the overall functionality of the tool, the
interfaces of the tool, interesting examples and applications of the
tool, an assessment of the tool's strengths and weaknesses, and a
summary of documentation/support available with the tool. Authors of
tool demonstration proposals are expected to present a live
demonstration of the tool at the conference. It is highly desirable
that the tools are available on the web. System and Tool papers should
not exceed 8 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography
and figures. They may include an additional appendix of up to 6 extra
pages giving the outline, screenshots, examples, etc. to indicate the
content of the proposed live demo.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2017 using EasyChair. The
acceptable format is PDF.
[TYPES/announce] Methods and Tools for Distributed Hybrid Systems (DHS 2017)
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Please find below a second CfP for the DHS workshop associated with MFCS 2017. DHS is concerned with analysis and validation of distributed hybrid systems, thus intersects with some of the topics of this list. Best regards, Uli Fahrenberg Apologies for multiple copies of this email; please distribute as you see fit. SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS DHS 2017 International Workshop on Methods and Tools for Distributed Hybrid Systems Associated with MFCS 2017 Aalborg University, Denmark 25-26 August 2017 http://dhs.gforge.inria.fr/ The deadline for submission has been extended to 20 June. The purpose of DHS is to connect researchers working in real-time and hybrid systems, control theory, distributed computing, and concurrency, in order to advance the subject of distributed hybrid systems. Distributed hybrid systems, or distributed cyber-physical systems, are abundant. Many of them are safety-critical, but ensuring their correct functioning is very difficult. We believe that new techniques are needed for the analysis and validation of DHS. More precisely, we believe that convergence and interaction of methods and tools from different areas of computer science, engineering, and mathematics is needed in order to advance the subject. This first edition of the DHS workshop aims at gathering researchers which work in the above areas in order to facilitate collaboration and discuss how the subject may advance.
