[TYPES/announce] Call for PLDI 2016 Student Posters
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] PLDI’16 is soliciting poster contributions from both graduate and undergraduate students. Suitable topics are descriptions of work in progress, thesis projects, honors projects, and relevant research being or to be published elsewhere. Poster topics should target areas of interest to the PLDI community as described in the call for research papers. This is not a competition, but an opportunity for students to get feedback and suggestions from world-class researchers and also to market themselves as a future employee, PhD student, postdoc, faculty member, etc. The PLDI’16 student poster session will be held on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 during the PLDI Reception from 6-9pm PST at the conference venue (Fess Parker Doubletree). All students attending PLDI are strongly encouraged to participate, and our goal is to allow as many students as possible to present themselves and their work to the community. Students presenting a paper at PLDI, LCTES, or ISMM are ineligible to participate in the poster session. Students who are authors on a paper being presented at PLDI are eligible to participate, but the poster topic should be distinct from that of the PLDI paper. Students participating in the Student Research Competition (SRC) will contribute posters to this session as part of the SRC and should not apply to present an additional poster. Important Dates: • Submission Deadline: March 25th, 2016 (11:59pm PT) • Notification of Acceptance: April 1st, 2106 • Student Poster Session: June 15, 2016 Students with accepted posters are encouraged to apply for PLDI16 student travel support.

[TYPES/announce] CFP: Second Workshop on Hot Topics in Software Upgrades (HotSWUp 2009)
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Several research teams are using type-based approaches to ensuring software update safety, so this CfP should be of interest to list members. - CALL FOR PAPERS HotSWUp 2009: Second ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Software Upgrades (co-located with OOPSLA 2009) Orlando, Florida October 25, 2009 http://www.hotswup.org OBJECTIVES The goal of HotSWUp is to identify cutting-edge research ideas for implementing software upgrades. Software must be upgraded regularly to incorporate bug fixes and security patches or to keep up with the evolving requirements. Whether upgrades are applied offline or online, they significantly impact the software's performance and reliability. Recent studies and a large body of anecdotal evidence suggest that, in practice, upgrades are failure-prone, tedious, and expensive. HotSWUp is an interdisciplinary workshop, based on synergies among the areas of programming languages (e.g., as reflected at conferences such as OOPSLA or PLDI), software engineering (e.g., as reflected at ICSE or FSE) and systems (e.g., as reflected at SOSP or OSDI). By seeking contributions from both academic researchers and industry practitioners, HotSWUp aims to combine novel ideas with experience from upgrading real systems. The workshop builds on the success of HotSWUp'08, where the paper presentations and lively discussions attracted a diverse audience of researchers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Programming language / operating system / database support for software upgrades. - Improving the reliability of upgrades (e.g., support for upgrade validation and for rollback after failures). - Support for system restructuring (e.g., evolving APIs, changes to database schemas). - Identifying dependencies between components and guaranteeing safe interactions among mixed versions. - Coordinating and disseminating upgrades in large-scale distributed systems. - Tools for preparing, testing, and applying software upgrades. - Human factors in software upgrades (e.g., usability of upgrading tools, common operator mistakes). SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We solicit position papers that fall into one of the following categories: - Suggest how a successful approach can be applied in a different context (e.g., static dependency analysis applied to distributed-system upgrades). - Refute an old assumption about software upgrades (e.g., by presenting negative results). - Describe a new problem or propose a novel solution to an old problem. - Present empirical evidence related to the practical implementation of software upgrades. Papers must not exceed 5 pages, in the ACM SIGPLAN 10 point format, and must be submitted electronically at http://www.hotswup.org The workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
