[TYPES/announce] CFP for PEPM 2023 (Deadline extended)
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Dear all, (With apologies for any duplicate copies, and for the previous message which included the wrong date!). Please see the CFP for PEPM 2023 below. We have received some requests for extensions, and extended the deadline to next Tuesday. Note that short papers, including tool demos, works in progress and extended abstracts, are welcome too! Edwin and Jens -- CALL FOR PAPERS -- ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2023 === * Website : https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://popl23.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2023__;!!IBzWLUs!S9Rgv6SnosI_QAj4r3tk4jslCTVp22fztdDPFQHMG-5rmIc33f-4Do_ArIkx3CUBOn_ze3hZVZQUP_8KdRyTdgblNLrj3cHwgQ4$ * Time: 16th--17th January 2023 * Place : Boston, Massachusetts, United States (co-located with POPL 2023) The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM) has a history going back to 1991 and has been co-located with POPL every year since 2006. It originated with the discoveries of 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 subjects 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 2023 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 2023 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, Edwin Brady (ec...@st-andrews.ac.uk) and Jens Palsberg (palsb...@ucla.edu). Submission categories and guidelines Two kinds of submissions will be accepted: * 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. * 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. References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices may not be read by reviewers. Both kinds of submissions should be typeset using the two-column ‘sigplan’ sub-format of the new ‘acmart’ format available at: https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/__;!!IBzWLUs!S9Rgv6SnosI_QAj4r3tk4jslCTVp22fztdDPFQHMG-5rmIc33f-4Do_ArIkx3CUBOn_ze3hZVZQUP_8KdRyTdgblNLrjIp0dUNI

[TYPES/announce] Postdoc position in Dependently Typed Programming, St Andrews
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Dear all, There is a position available for a post doctoral research fellow to work on Type Driven Development in Idris - for more details, and further particulars, see below, or you can see it at https://www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/6438/0/250507/889/research-fellow-ar2286sb Any informal inquiries, please contact me directly on ec...@st-andrews.ac.uk Edwin Advert follows: Applications are invited for a Research Fellow to work with Dr Edwin Brady in the School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews on an EPSRC funded project "Programming as Conversation: Type-Driven Development in Action". The project aims to investigate the extent to which precise type systems enhance programmer productivity, by developing languages and tools to support the methodology of type-driven development. It will build on recent work developing a new version of the dependently typed programming language Idris (https://www.idris-lang.org) and will involve defining a semantics for program construction and manipulation as a typed domain specific language for implementing editor actions. These actions will include refactorings, and synthesising programs from their types. The successful candidate will have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in Computer Science or a related subject. A strong background in functional programming, dependent types or other advanced type systems is required. The appointee will be expected to present their work both internally and externally and will be expected to help with supervision and training of postgraduate and undergraduate research students. Funded by EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council), this post is available for three years, with a start date as soon as possible. For informal enquiries, please contact: Dr Edwin Brady, School of Computer Science, ec...@st-andrews.ac.uk. The University is committed to equality for all, demonstrated through our working on diversity awards (ECU Athena SWAN/Race Charters; Carer Positive; LGBT Charter; and Stonewall).

[TYPES/announce] 2nd CFP: Dependently Typed Programming 2014
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] [Apologies if you receive this more than once!] DTP 2014 Workshop on Dependently-Typed Programming 13th July 2014, Vienna, Austria (co-located with CSL-LICS 2014) 2nd CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS http://eb.host.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/DTP2014 Workshop Overview - Dependently typed programming is here today: where will it go tomorrow? On the one hand, dependent type theories have grown programming languages; on the other hand, the type systems of programming languages like Haskell and Scala are incorporating some kinds of type-level data. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss experiences with dependent types in programming and future developments for dependently-typed languages. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Language Design, both in the context of possible extensions and modifications of existing languages and the development of new languages with dependent types; * Theory, such as formal treatments of semantics and type systems; * Compilation, including implementations and optimization of dependently-typed languages; * Tools, in the form of IDEs, profilers, tracers, debuggers, and testing tools; * Functional Pearls, being elegant, instructive examples of using dependent types; * Experience Reports, general practice and experience with dependently-typed languages, e.g., in an education or industry context. Workshop Format --- The workshop will consist of invited speakers (details TBA) and contributed talks. Talks will be selected according to relevance to the workshop, based on submission of an extended abstract. Submission Details -- * Abstract Submission : Friday, 2nd May 2014 * Author Notification : Friday, 9th May 2014 * Workshop: Sunday, 13th July 2014 Submissions should be an extended abstract of 1--2 pages in portable document format (PDF). Submission is via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dtp14 After the workshop, we plan to invite authors to submit full papers for publication, details TBA.
