[TYPES/announce] Workshop celebrating 30 Years of Session Types - co-located with SPLASH 2023 - CFP
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF SESSION TYPES (ST30) https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://2023.splashcon.org/home/st-anniversary-30__;!!IBzWLUs!WWB8agwnL4rzoqlKqN4YqYXXEl38QlsYNICmyheLYP_I25taKlpAfBsm6bm9Tr23hhhWbovjJnnxLg83FhV4TwYgBx6kz_LCZWUZAZs$ Affiliated with SPLASH 2023, Cascais, Portugal Dates to be confirmed within 22-27 October 2023 Session types are a type-theoretic approach to specifying communication protocols so that they can be verified by type-checking. This year marks 30 years since the first paper on session types, by Kohei Honda at CONCUR 1993. Since then the topic has attracted increasing interest, and a substantial community and literature have developed. Google Scholar lists almost 400 articles with "session types" in the title, and most programming language conferences now include several papers on session types each year. In terms of the technical focus, there have been continuing theoretical developments (notably the generalisation from two-party to multi-party session types by Honda, Yoshida and Carbone in 2008, and the development of a Curry-Howard correspondence with linear logic by Caires and Pfenning in 2010) and a variety of implementations of session types as programming language extensions or libraries, covering (among others) Haskell, OCaml, Java, Scala, Rust, Python, C#, Go. We invite submissions to a workshop celebrating 30 years of session types. Submissions can be about any aspect of session types, including but not limited to the topics listed above. The programme will include invited talks, contributed talks, software demonstrations and a panel session. We call for three types of submission: - Research papers with a maximum length of 8 pages (excluding bibliography and appendices). Submitted research papers will be reviewed for novelty, clarity and technical soundness. They must not be submitted simultaneously for publication in other venues. Accepted research papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. - Talk proposals with a maximum length of 2 pages (excluding bibliography and appendices). Talk proposals can be for presentation of ongoing work, or for presentation of work that has already been published elsewhere. Proposals will be reviewed based on their likely interest as contributions to the workshop. Accepted talks will be presented at the workshop, but will not have corresponding papers in the workshop proceedings. - Demo proposals with a maximum length of 2 pages (excluding bibliography and appendices). Demo proposals can be for any programming language, library, tool or other software that is based on session types. Accepted demos will be presented at the workshop, but will not have corresponding papers in the workshop proceedings. Submissions must be formatted in EPTCS style. We intend the proceedings to be published in EPTCS.

[TYPES/announce] CFP RV 2023: 23rd International Conference on Runtime Verification
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Important Dates: *Paper submission: 4 June 2023* *Notification: 7 July 2023* Camera-ready: 30 July 2023 Conference: 3-6 October 2023 Website: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://rv23.csd.auth.gr/__;!!IBzWLUs!T1BwJpftGDQGa3TEH2nUoHK_owRO5oGNJ3uYFd_jzdn2pa5yLSMu-DDpLB4PWKwu1FYg47e-AaKPWMOufFsIC4Uz7MCUH2ct$ Objectives and Scope: Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to conventional testing and are generally more practical than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime verification can be used prior to deployment, for testing, verification, and debugging purposes, and after deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for providing fault containment and recovery as well as online system repair. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: - specification languages for monitoring - monitor construction techniques - program instrumentation - logging, recording, and replay - combination of static and dynamic analysis - specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces - monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems - runtime checking of privacy and security policies - metrics and statistical information gathering - program/system execution visualization - fault localization, containment, resilience, recovery and repair - systems with learning-enabled components - dynamic type checking and assurance cases - runtime verification for autonomy and runtime assurance Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical systems, autonomous systems, safety/mission critical systems, enterprise and systems software, cloud systems, reactive control systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy. Papers There are four categories of papers that can be submitted: regular, short, tool demo, and benchmark papers. Papers in each category will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Regular Papers (up to 16 pages, not including references) should present original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers, system papers, papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and case studies on runtime verification. Short Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references) may present novel but not necessarily thoroughly worked out ideas, for example emerging runtime verification techniques and applications, or techniques and applications that establish relationships between runtime verification and other domains. Tool Demonstration Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references) should present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification. The paper must include information on tool availability, maturity, selected experimental results and it should provide a link to a website containing the theoretical background and user guide. Furthermore, we strongly encourage authors to make their tools and benchmarks available with their submission. Benchmark Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references) should describe a benchmark, suite of benchmarks, or benchmark generator useful for evaluating RV tools. Papers should include information as to what the benchmark consists of and its purpose (what is the domain), how to obtain and use the benchmark, an argument for the usefulness of the benchmark to the broader RV community and may include any existing results produced using the benchmark. We are interested in both benchmarks pertaining to real-world scenarios and those containing synthetic data designed to achieve interesting properties. Broader definitions of benchmark e.g. for generating specifications from data or diagnosing faults are within scope. We encourage benchmarks that are tool agnostic, especially if they have been used to evaluate multiple tools. We also welcome benchmarks that contain verdict labels and with rigorous arguments for correctness of these verdicts, and benchmarks that are demonstrably cha llenging with respect to the state-of-the-art tools. Benchmark papers must be accompanied by an easily accessible and usable benchmark submission. Papers will be evaluated by a separate benchmark evaluation panel who will assess the benchmarks relevance, clarity, and utility as communicated by the submitted paper. The Program Committee of RV 2023 will give a Springer-sponsored Best Paper Award to one eligible regular paper. Tutorial track: tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected topic. Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a paper of up to 20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings. A
