[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] We are seeking a postdoc researcher, who works at Kyoto University, Japan for a project "Zero-Trust IoT Systems by Collaboration of Formal Verification and System Software" by Japan Science and Technology Agency. This is a great opportunity for programming language researchers who wish to pursue novel real-world applications. We'd appreciate you spreading the word to interested candidates. * Project Description The project aims at the construction of formally verified secure IoT systems that follow the concept of "zero trust architecture", dubbed ZT-IoT systems. It consists of four research teams, and one of the teams is led by Atsushi Igarashi, Kyoto University, investigating applications of formal verification or programming language techniques to the construction of secure IoT systems: more concretely, the design and theory of security policy engines for ZT-IoT systems, including the design of a language to describe security policies and policy enforcement algorithms and the techniques for verifying policy enforcement algorithms against given security policies. Other team members are Kohei Suenaga and Masaki Waga at Kyoto University. The team closely collaborates with another team, led by Taro Sekiyama, National Institute of Informatics, Japan (NII), together with Ichiro Hasuo and Shin-ya Katsumata at NII. The appointment can start as early as May 2023 (the starting date is negotiable). The contract will initially run until the end of March 2024, with the possibility of annual renewal until the end of the project, which is March 2027 at maximum. The salary will be about 360,000–550,000 JPY/month. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in computer science or related fields, and have a strong background in formal verification and/or programming language theory. Due to the project's nature, they are required to have strong interests in applying theory to practice; they should also be (self-)motivated, dedicated, and able to work both independently and collaboratively. Strong communication skills in oral and written English are required. * Workplace Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan. (Living costs in Japan are not very high nowadays.

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] -- CALL FOR PAPERS -- ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2019 === *** *** DEADLINE EXTENDED *** *** * Paper submission deadline : Friday 19th October 2018 (AoE) <-- NEW! * Author notification : Monday 12th November 2018 (AoE) * Workshop : TBD (two days between 13th – 19th January 2019) * Website : https://popl19.sigplan.org/track/pepm-2019-papers * Time: two days between 13th – 19th January 2019 * Place : Cascais/Libon, Portugal (co-located with POPL 2019) The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM), which has a history going back to 1991 and has co-located with POPL every year since 2006, originates in the discoveries of practically useful automated techniques for evaluating programs with only partial input. Over the years, the scope of PEPM has expanded to include a variety of research areas centred around the theme of semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic exploitation of treating programs not only as subject to black-box execution, but also as data structures that can be generated, analysed, and transformed while establishing or maintaining important semantic properties. Scope - In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2019 welcomes submissions in new domains, in particular: * Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and program optimisation. * Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed and concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types, linear types, and contract specifications. More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2019 include, but are not limited to: * Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation, partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, decompilation, and obfuscation. * Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming, staged computation, and model-driven program generation and transformation. * Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model manipulation such as: abstract interpretation, termination checking, binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems, automated testing and test case generation. * Application of the above techniques including case studies of program manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source) projects and software development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications, benchmarking. Examples of application domains include legacy program understanding and transformation, DSL implementations, visual languages and end-user programming, scientific computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed and web-based applications, embedded and resource-limited computation, and security. This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions describing new theories and applications related to semantics-based program manipulation in general. If you have a question as to whether a potential submission is within the scope of the workshop, please contact the programme co-chairs, Manuel Hermenegildo (http://cliplab.org/herme/) and Atsushi Igarashi (http://www.fos.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~igarashi/). Submission categories and guidelines Two kinds of submissions will be accepted: Regular Research Papers and Short Papers. * Regular Research Papers should describe new results, and will be judged on originality, correctness, significance, and clarity. Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages (excluding bibliography). * Short Papers may include tool demonstrations and presentations of exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial, and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages (excluding bibliography). Both kinds of submissions should be typeset using the two-column ‘sigplan’ sub-format of the new ‘acmart’ format available at: http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ and submitted electronically via HotCRP: https://pepm19.hotcrp.com/ PEPM 2019 will employ lightweight double-blind reviewing according to the rules of POPL 2019.

[TYPES/announce] Postdoc positions in the Modularity for Supercomputing Project
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] New postdoc positions are available for the 5-year JST/CREST project Software development for post petascale supercomputing --- Modularity for supercomputing --- (see the project description below for more details), conducted jointly at the University of Tokyo, Kyushu University, and Kyoto University. The appointment can start as early as in April 2012 (the starting date is negotiable). The contract of appointment will be renewed for each academic year, and can be extended up to March 2017, subject to performance. Salary will be about 4,000,000 upto 5,000,000 JPY (Japanese yen) per year. Applicants should have a PhD in computer science, software engineering, or related fields, and have a strong background in at least one (preferably two or more) of the following topics: programming languages, software engineering, high-performance computing, and theoretical computer science. Interested candidates are invited to send a detailed CV via email to Shigeru Chiba (ch...@is.titech.ac.jp), no later than December 15, 2011. As mentioned above, the whole project consists of four research groups distributed over Japan; we will decide which group he or she will belong to, according the applicant's expertise and preference. Project Description Project Title: Software development for post petascale supercomputing --- Modularity for supercomputing --- Project Home Page: http://modularity.jp/ Principal Investigator: Shigeru Chiba Collaborators: Hidehiko Masuhara, Naoyasu Ubayashi, Atsushi Igarashi Project Term: October 2011 - March 2017 Appointment: 1 year, can be extended according to performance Software development for supercomputing (SC) is extremely hard, mainly because application programmers require deep knowledge about the architecture, operating system, and middleware of the supercomputer, not to mention the application domain. The goal of our project is to address the difficulties by applying language-based technologies---more specifically, technology based on product line architectures---to software development for supercomputing. Towards our goal, we study programming languages and software development environments in which each individual developer or researcher can easily build their own product lines for their favorite supercomputing applications. Our main research topics are as follows: Chiba's group: Design and implementation of a new programming language that provides functionality for advanced modularity and frameworks in high-performance computing. In particular, with minimal execution overheads and static typing. Masuhara's group: Design and implementation of domain-specific languages (DSLs) for prototyping highly-parallel scientific applications and for experimenting optimization techniques. Particular goals are: (1) DSLs embedded into dynamic programming languages such as Ruby and executable highly-parallel architectures such as GPGPU, and (2) design and implementation of the DSLs' framework to support modular optimization techniques. Ubayashi's group: Domain-specific language (DSL) construction methods based on product-line architecture. We plan to develop a DSL for open source repository mining, one of the important research fields requiring high performance computing. Igarashi's group: Type systems for efficiently checking safety of highly modularized software components, supported by the language devoloped by Chiba's group. Customizable type systems for domain-specific languages.
[TYPES/announce] CFP: AOSD 2011: Perspectives on Modularity
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] N.B. The CFP doesn't explicitly mention types but the subtitle of the next edition of AOSD is Perspectives on Modularity, which has a lot to do with types... --- Atsushi Igarashi Kyoto University AOSD 2011: Perspectives on Modularity 10th International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development http://aosd.net/2011 March 21st - 25th, 2011, Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco, Brazil Supported by ACM SIGSOFT SIGPLAN (pending) First Call for Research Papers - Important Dates: First Round: Research Paper submission : Jul. 1, 2010, 23:59 (Samoan) Acceptance Notification : Sep. 6, 2010, 23:59 (Samoan) Second Round: Research Paper submission : Oct. 1, 2010, 23:59 (Samoan) Acceptance Notification : Dec. 10, 2010, 23:59 (Samoan) Camera-ready copy: Jan. 13, 2011, 23:59 (Samoan) -- Instructions for authors: http://www.aosd.net/2011/call_research.html Email contact address: resea...@aosd.net -- The International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is the premier conference on software modularity that goes beyond traditional abstraction boundaries. The past series of the conferences have been mainly investigating the aspects for 10 years and explored their clear benefits. Furthermore, they have revealed that advanced modularity is the core notion for building modern software systems and hence other new modularization paradigms and techniques are also getting spotlighted today. AOSD 2011 seeks to foster advanced modularization paradigms and techniques, which are not limited to aspects thus re-emphasizing the original intention to establish AOSD as a conference on advanced separation of concerns and software modularity for extensibility, flexibility, and adaptability. AOSD 2011 invites high quality papers reporting documented research results emerging from work on new notions of modularity in computer systems, software engineering, programming languages, and other areas. Here, the modularity is not only of code but also across lifecycle artifacts (e.g., from requirements to tests). A novelty of AOSD 2011 is that authors can submit their papers at either 1st or 2nd round. The two rounds are independent but the accepted papers are presented together at the conference. If the paper is submitted at the 1st round and the review result is resubmit after revision, the authors can resubmit the revised paper at the 2nd round with a letter to the reviewers. Then the same reviewers will review the revised paper again. AOSD 2011 adopts this procedure for motivating the acceptance of potentially good papers (but that need adjustments) rather than rejecting them straight away. Submissions will be carried out electronically via CyberChair. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions must be no more than 12 pages (including bibliography and any appendices) in standard ACM SIG Proceedings format(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). More details can be found in http://www.aosd.net/2011/call_research.html Research areas and topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Software engineering * Requirements engineering * Analysis and design modeling * Domain engineering * Software architectures * Evaluation and metrics * Modular Reasoning * Testing and verification * Interference and composition * Traceability * Software development methods * Process and methodology definition * Patterns Programming languages * Language design * Compilation and interpretation * Verification and static program analysis * Formal languages and calculi * Execution environments dynamic weaving * Dynamic and scripting languages * Domain-specific languages Related paradigms * Context-orientation * Feature-orientation * Traits * Model-driven development * Generative programming * Software product lines * Meta-programming and reflection * Contracts and components * View-based development Tool support * Aspect mining * Evolution and reverse engineering * Crosscutting program views * Refactoring Applications * Distributed/concurrent systems * Middleware, services, and networking * Pervasive computing * Runtime verification * Performance improvement Program committee --- Sven Apel University of Passau, Germany Eric Bodden Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Walter CazzolaUniversity of Milano, Italy Shigeru Chiba Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan (Chair) Pascal Costanza Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Marcus Denker INRIA Lille, France Elisa
