[TYPES/announce] CPP 2020: Call for Sponsors
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] The ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) covers all areas that consider formal verification as an essential paradigm for their work. CPP spans areas of computer science, mathematics, logic, and education and brings together 100+ researchers and practitioners to present the latest developments in formal verification. More information about CPP at: https://popl20.sigplan.org/home/CPP-2020 CPP welcomes corporate donations to help maintain and improve the overall experience at the conference. The money we get from corporate sponsors will generally be used to subsidize student attendance (e.g., registration weaving, which generally increases student participation), cover the travel costs of invited speakers, and pay for the conference dinner. This will also allow us explore new ideas such as adding a distinguished paper award, or covering the fees that would make CPP open access for everyone. ### CPP Support Levels Bronze -- Suggested donation $1000 - your name and logo prominently displayed on the CPP website - acknowledgment in the CPP PC chair's statement for the proceedings - big thank you in the CPP PC chair's report talk Silver -- Suggested donation $2500 - as above plus: - an opportunity to display printed materials or branded merchandise (e.g., t-shirts, but **no** coffee containers please) on a joint table in the CPP conference room, or, space permitting, next to the entrance door - one complementary registration to CPP (20-21 January 2019) Gold -- Suggested donation $5000 - as above plus: - acknowledgement as a sponsor of the CPP keynote talks - a banner on stage carrying the supporter's logo (it is the company's responsibility to produce and bring this to the conference) - table/booth-like space at CPP where, if you wish, you can display publicity material, distribute handouts, talk to people, or demo software (for the duration of CPP, 20-21 January 2019). - an opportunity to also display printed materials at the registration desk (which is joint with POPL) - two complementary registrations to CPP (20-21 January 2019) - other arrangements are possible based on your needs and interests (subject to ACM restrictions on commercial involvement) Platinum -- Suggested donation $1 - as above plus: - an opportunity to be the sponsor of the CPP conference dinner; a representative from the company will be granted 10 minutes at the beginning of the dinner to address the attendees - an opportunity to include branded merchandise in all POPL and CPP participant's swag bag, such as a flyer, for example, if desired - three complementary registrations to CPP (20-21 January 2019) - other arrangements are possible based on your needs and interests (subject to ACM restrictions on commercial involvement) ### Contact Questions about how to contribute to CPP may be directed to catalin.hri...@gmail.com

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Registration is open for [Secure Development (SecDev) 2019](https://secdev.ieee.org/), which will be held September 25-27 in McLean, VA. More details are below, including program highlights. The early registration deadline is August 25. Student travel grants are available. Also, there are still a few days left (Monday August 12) to submit a poster or tool demo proposal. Submission is light weight: it is just a one-page description of the poster or tool demo.

Best, SecDev 2019 Organizing Committee # IEEE Secure Development Conference (SecDev) 2019 Call for Participation https://secdev.ieee.org/ *Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy* *September 25-September 27, 2019 at the Hilton Tysons Corner, McLean, VA, USA* ## Overview SecDev is a venue for presenting ideas, research, and experience about how to develop secure systems. It focuses on theory, techniques, and tools to "build security in" to existing and new computing systems, and does not focus on simply discovering the absence of security. The goal of SecDev is to encourage and disseminate ideas for secure system development among academia, industry, and government. It aims to bridge the gap between constructive security research and practice and to enable real-world impact of security research in the long run. Developers have valuable experiences and ideas that can inform academic research, and researchers have concepts, studies, and even code and tools that could benefit developers. ## Important Dates - Early registration deadline: August 25 - Conference: Wednesday September 25 to Friday September 27, 2019 ## Program highlights * Keynote talks: - June Andronick (Data61/CSIRO and UNSW).
