[TYPES/announce] CFP: International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling (OCL 2017)
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] (Apologies for duplicates) CALL FOR PAPERS 17th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling Co-located with STAF 2017 SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES: APPLICATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS July 20, 2017, Marburg, Germany http://oclworkshop.github.io Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical notation. Such visual representations enable direct intuitive capturing of reality, but they have weaknesses: for example, detailed visual representations bear the risk of becoming overcrowded faster than textual models and some of the visual features lack the level of precision required to create complete and unambiguous specifications. These weaknesses of graphical notations encouraged the development of text-based modeling languages that either integrate with or replace graphical notations for modeling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF, Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots in formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases. The goal of this workshop is to create a forum where researchers and practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds of textual languages can directly interact, report advances, share results, identify tools for language development, and discuss appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options for potential cooperation. ## Topics of interest Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms - Algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations in the context of textual modeling languages for: - validation, verification, and testing, - model transformation and code generation, - meta-modeling and DSLs, and - query and constraint specifications - Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modeling languages - Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modeling expressions - Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modeling languages - Tools that support textual modeling languages (e.g., verification of OCL formulae, runtime monitoring of invariants) - Complexity results for textual modeling languages - Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating textual modeling tools and algorithms - Successful applications of textual modeling languages - Case studies on industrial applications of textual modeling languages - Experience reports: - usage of textual modeling languages and tools in complex domains, - usability of textual modeling languages and tools for end-users - Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modeling languages - Innovative textual modeling tools - Comparison, evaluation and integration of modeling languages - Correlation between modeling languages and modeling tasks This year, we particularly encourage submissions describing applications and case studies of textual modeling as well as test suites and benchmark collections for evaluating textual modeling tools. ## Venue This workshop will be organized as a part of STAF 2017 Conferenze in Marburg, Germany. It was previously organized as part of the MODELS conference. Similar to its predecessors , the workshop addresses both people from academia and industry . The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration of OCL and other textual modeling languages , as well as tools for textual modeling , and for disseminating good practice and discussing the new requirements for textual modeling . ## Workshop Format The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions. ## Submissions Two types of papers will be considered: * Short contributions (between 6 and 8 pages) describing new ideas, innovative tools or position papers. * Full papers (between 12 and 16 pages). in LNCS format. Submissions should be uploaded to [EasyChair](https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl17). The program committee will review the submissions (minimum 2 reviews per paper, usually 3 reviews) and select papers according to their relevance and interest for discussions that will take place at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published online in a post-conference edition of [CEUR](http://www.ceur-ws.org). ## Important Dates - Submission of papers: April 28, 2017 - Notification: May 25, 2017 - Workshop date: July 20, 2017 -- Dr. Achim D.

[TYPES/announce] Call for Journal Papers: STVR Special Issue on Tests and Proofs
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Apologies for duplicates. CALL FOR PAPERS STVR Special Issue on Tests and Proofs http://lifc.univ-fcomte.fr/tap2012/stvr/ The Software Testing, Verification Reliability (STVR) journal (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/13635/home) invites authors to submit papers to a Special Issue on Tests and Proofs. Background == The increasing use of software and the growing system complexity make focused software testing a challenging task. Recent years have seen an increasing industrial and academic interest in the use of static and dynamic analysis techniques together. Success has been reported combining different test techniques such as model-based testing, structural testing, or concolic testing with static techniques such as program slicing, dependencies analysis, model-checking, abstract interpretation, predicate abstraction, or verification. This special issue serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners to present theory, results, experience and advances in Tests and Proofs (TAP). Topics == This special issue focuses on all topics relevant to TAP. In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Program proving with the aid of testing techniques * New challenges in automated reasoning emerging from specificities of test generation * Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests * Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive techniques such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic execution, constraint logic programming, SAT and SMT solving * Model-based testing and verification * Automatic bug finding * Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis * Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage criteria) and from proving to testing * Formal frameworks for test and proof * Tool descriptions, experience reports and evaluation of test and proof * Case studies combining tests and proofs * Applying combination of test and proof techniques to new application domains such as validating security procotols or vulnerability detection of programs * The processes, techniques, and tools that support test and proof Submission Information == The deadline for submissions is 17th December, 2012.
