Aims and Scope  
==  
  
The Encyclopedia of Proof Systems was created in 2014 with the goal of  
becoming a quick reference for the various proof systems used by  
logicians. Since then, it has collected 64 entries about many calculi

for classical and non-classical logics. This was only possible thanks

to the collaboration of many members of the logic community.  
  
This event aims to promote the encyclopedia and attract more  
contributions and collaborators. It consists of:  
  
\- a poster session in the afternoon of September 24th,  
 during which submitted entries will be displayed as posters;  
  
\- an interactive hands-on meeting in the morning of September 25th,  
 for those who would like to contribute to the continuous  
 improvement of the encyclopedia.  
  
The activities planned for the meeting will be announced closer to  
the event.  
  
  
Submission Instructions  
===  
  
Please visit the encyclopaedia's website for instructions:  
http://proofsystem.github.io/Encyclopedia  
  
Participation in TABLEAUX, FroCoS or ITP is not required for  
submission, but is strongly encouraged.  
  
Each encyclopedia entry is typically just one page long,

following a template given in the encyclopedia's website.  
Therefore, it is easy and quick to contribute.

Student Research Competition


This year ICFP will host a Student Research Competition where
undergraduate and postgraduate students can present posters. The SRC
at the ICFP 2017 consists of three rounds:


* Extended abstract round: All students are encouraged to submit an
extended abstract outlining their research (up to two pages).

* Poster session at ICFP 2017: Based on the abstracts, a panel of
judges will select the most promising entrants to participate in the
poster session which will take place at ICFP. Students who make it to
this round will be eligible for some travel support to attend the
conference. In the poster session, students will have the opportunity
to present their work to the judges, who will select three finalists
in each category (graduate/undergraduate) to advance to the next
round.

* ICFP presentation: The last round will consist of an oral
presentation at the ICFP to compete for the final awards in each
category and selection of an overall winner who will advance to the
ACM SRC Grand Finals.


Prizes
--

* The top three graduate and the top three undergraduate winners will
receive prizes of $500, $300, and $200, respectively.

* All six winners will receive award medals and a two-year
complimentary ACM student membership, including a subscription to
ACM’s Digital Library.

* The names of the winners will be posted on the SRC web site.

* The first place winners of the SRC will be invited to participate in
the ACM SRC Grand Finals, an on-line round of competitions among the
winners of other conference-hosted SRCs.

* Grand Finalists and their advisors will be invited to the Annual ACM
Awards Banquet for an all-expenses-paid trip, where they will be
recognized for their accomplishments along with other prestigious ACM
award winners, including the winner of the Turing Award (also known as
the Nobel Prize of Computing).

* The top three Grand Finalists will receive an additional $500, $300,
and $200. All Grand Finalists will receive Grand Finalist
certificates.

* The ACM, Microsoft Research, and our industrial partners provide
financial support for students attending the SRC. You can find more
information about this on the ACM website. Eligibility The SRC is open
to both undergraduate (not in a PhD program) and graduate students (in
a PhD program). Upon submission, entrants must be enrolled as a
student at their universities, and are ACM student members.

Eligibility
---

The SRC is open to both undergraduate (not in a PhD programme) and
graduate students (in a PhD programme). Upon submission, entrants must
be enrolled as a student at their universities, and are ACM student
members.

Furthermore, there are some constraints on what kind of work may be
submitted.

Previously published work:

Submissions should consist of original work (not yet accepted for
publication). If the work is a continuation of previously published
work, the submission should focus on the contribution over what has
already been published. We encourage students to see this as an
opportunity to get early feedback and exposure for the work they plan
to submit to the next ICFP or POPL.

Collaborative work:

Students are encouraged to submit work they have been conducting in
collaboration with others, including advisors, internship mentors, or
other students. However, submissions are individual, so they must
focus on the contributions of the student.

Submission Details
--

Each submission should include the student author's name,
institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and postal address;
research advisor's name; ACM student member number; category
(undergraduate or graduate); research title; and an extended abstract
addressing the following:

* Problem and Motivation: Clearly state the problem being addressed
 and explain the reasons for seeking a solution to this problem.

* Background and Related Work: Describe the specialized (but
 pertinent) background necessary to appreciate the work. Include
 references to the literature where appropriate, and briefly explain
 where your work departs from that done by others.

* Approach and Uniqueness: Describe your approach in attacking the
 problem and clearly state how your approach is novel.

* Results and Contributions: Clearly show how the results of your work
 contribute to computer science and

NEWS:

We are happy two announce an invited tutorial in addition to the already
announced invited talk. Accordingly, we will welcome two invited speakers:
Mohammad Mousavi and Rob van Glabbeek

SCOPE AND TOPICS:

The EXPRESS workshop series aims at bringing together researchers
interested in the expressiveness of various formal systems and
semantic notions, particularly in the field of concurrency. The SOS
workshop series aims at being a forum for researchers, students and
practitioners interested in new developments, and directions for
future investigation, in the field of structural operational
semantics.

Since 2012, the EXPRESS and SOS communities have joined forces and
organised a combined EXPRESS/SOS workshop on the formal semantics
of systems and programming concepts, and on the expressiveness of
mathematical models of computation.

Topics of interest for this workshop include (but are not limited to):
- expressiveness and comparison of models of computation (process
   algebras, event structures, Petri nets, rewrite systems)
- expressiveness and comparison of programming models (distributed,
   component-based, object-oriented, service-oriented);
- logics for concurrency (modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic
   logics, temporal logics and resource logics);
- analysis techniques for concurrent systems;
- theory of structural operational semantics (meta-theory,
   category-theoretic approaches, congruence results);
- comparison of structural operational semantics to other formal
   semantics approaches
- applications and case studies of structural operational semantics;
- software tools that automate, or are based on, structural
   operational semantics.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

We solicit two types of submissions:

* Full papers (up to 15 pages).
* Short papers (up to 5 pages, not included in the workshop proceedings)

Simultaneous submission to journals, conferences or other workshops is
only allowed for short papers; full papers must be unpublished.

All submissions should adhere to the EPTCS format (http://www.eptcs.org),
and submission is performed through the EXPRESS/SOS 2017 EasyChair
server (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=expresssos2017).

The final versions of accepted full papers will be published in EPTCS.

PLAS aims to provide a forum for exploring and evaluating ideas on the use
of programming language and program analysis techniques to improve the
security of software systems. Strongly encouraged are proposals of new,
speculative ideas, evaluations of new or known techniques in practical
settings, and discussions of emerging threats and important problems. We
are especially interested in position papers that are radical,
forward-looking, and likely to lead to lively and insightful discussions
that will influence future research that lies at the intersection of
programming languages and security.

The scope of PLAS includes, but is not limited to:
● Compiler-based security mechanisms (e.g. security type systems) or
runtime-based security mechanisms (e.g. inline reference monitors)
● Program analysis techniques for discovering security vulnerabilities
● Automated introduction and/or verification of security enforcement
mechanisms
● Language-based verification of security properties in software, including
verification of
cryptographic protocols
● Specifying and enforcing security policies for information flow and
access control
● Model-driven approaches to security
● Security concerns for Web programming languages
● Language design for security in new domains such as cloud computing and
IoT
● Applications, case studies, and implementations of these techniques

Submission Guidelines

We invite both full papers and short papers. For short papers we especially
encourage the submission of position papers that are likely to generate
lively discussion.
● Full papers ​should be at most 11 pages long, plus as many pages as
needed for references and appendices. Papers in this category are expected
to have relatively mature content. Full paper presentations will be 25
minutes each.
● Short papers should be at most 5 pages long, plus as many pages as needed
for references. Papers that present radical, open-ended and forward-looking
ideas are particularly welcome in this category, as are papers presenting
preliminary and exploratory work. Authors submitting papers in this
category must prepend the phrase "Short Paper:" to the title of the
submitted paper. Short paper presentations will be 15 minutes each.

Submissions should be PDF documents formatted according to the CCS 2017
formatting requirements provided at
https://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2017/#format 
. Both full and short papers must
describe work not published in other refereed venues. Accepted papers will
appear in workshop proceedings, which will be distributed to the workshop
participants and be available in the ACM Digital Library.

PLAS welcomes submissions by authors of all nationalities and we do not
wish to exclude any potential authors who may have difficulty traveling due
to recent changes in US immigration practices. We will allow presenting
papers electronically or with non-author presenters in cases where paper
authors are unable to travel to the United States.

## AGERE! 2017 - The 7th International Workshop on Programming based
   on Actors, Agents, and Decentralized Control

The AGERE! workshop is aimed at focusing on programming systems,
languages and applications based on actors, active/concurrent objects,
agents and – more generally – high-level programming paradigms
promoting a mindset of decentralized control in solving problems and
developing software. The workshop is designed to cover both the theory
and the practice of design and programming, bringing together
researchers working on models, languages and technologies, and
practitioners developing real-world systems and applications.

## CHESE 2017 - The 3rd International Workshop on Coding and Human
   aspects of Educational Software Engineering

Two of the backbones of software engineering are programming and
testing. Both of these require many hours of practice to acquire
mastery. To encourage students to put in these hours of practice,
educators often employ the element of tools and games. The 3rd
International CHESE 2017 (Coding and Human aspects of Educational
Software Engineering) focuses on technologies that assist in the
education process of software engineering, specifically coding and
testing. We look at how the technologies are built, how they are
evaluated, and how communities can be built around their use. Some of
topics that we are interested in are the relationship between testing
and gaming, analysis and visualization of student data, the challenges
of sharing and re-using such data, and the influence of different
programming languages. The aim of the workshop is not only to act as a
forum for the exchange of ideas, but also as a vehicle to stimulate,
deepen, and widen partnership between the software engineering and
education fields on an international scale.

Submission: August 1, 2017


## CoCoS 2017 - Workshop on Comprehension of Complex Systems

The sheer complexity and emergent behaviors of large scale systems
make it impossible for people to completely understand them without
the aid of specific tools. This is especially the case as systems are
increasingly developed using advanced composition technologies such as
aspect-orientation and dynamic script languages. Those modularity
technologies enable the creation and application of powerful
abstractions, which yields significant benefits in terms of reuse and
separation of concerns. But those same abstractions, in languages,
middleware, and models, also hide important system properties.

This compounds the problem of comprehending run-time behavior in terms
of original design concepts that have been abstracted away (for
example debugging AO programs, or diagnosing violations of performance
service-level agreements). Wider adoption of advanced modularity
technologies depends on tools to assist developers in understanding
the run-time behavior of complex composed systems. This workshop aims
to create a dialog on the problem of program comprehension and its
relation to modularity in this wider context.
