-- Call for Poster/Demo Abstracts and Participation -- ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM) 2019 =============================================================================== * Website : http://popl19.sigplan.org/track/pepm-2019-papers * Time : 14th – 15th January 2019 * Place : Cascais/Lisbon, Portugal (co-located with POPL 2019) POSTER/DEMO SESSIONS: PEPM 2019 is accepting proposals for poster/demo presentations on a rolling basis, until 14th December (AoE). See below for the submission guidelines. Registration ------------ * Web page : https://popl19.sigplan.org/attending/Registration * Early registration deadline : 10th December 2018 Accepted papers --------------- Reduction from Branching-time Property Verification of Higher-Order Programs to HFL Validity Checking Keiichi Watanabe, Takeshi Tsukada, Hiroki Oshikawa, Naoki Kobayashi Generating mutually recursive definitions Jeremy Yallop, Oleg Kiselyov Method Name Suggestion with Hierarchical Attention Networks Sihan Xu, Xinya Cao, Jing Xu Futures and Promises in Haskell and Scala Tamino Dauth, Martin Sulzmann Combining Higher-Order Model Checking with Refinement Type Inference Ryosuke Sato, Naoki Iwayama, Naoki Kobayashi Typed parsing and unparsing for untyped regular expression engines Gabriel Radanne Control Flow Obfuscation via CPS Transformation Kenny Zhuo Ming Lu Extracting a Partial Evaluator from a Proof of Termination Kenichi Asai A Simpler Lambda Calculus Barry Jay Poster/demo abstract submission guideline ----------------------------------------- * https://popl19.sigplan.org/track/pepm-2019-papers#Call-for-Poster-Demo-Abstracts To maintain PEPM’s dynamic and interactive nature, PEPM 2019 will continue to have special sessions for poster/demo presentations. In addition to the main interactive poster/demo session, there will also be a scheduled short-talk session where each poster/demo can be advertised to the audience in, say, 5–10 minutes. Poster/demo abstracts should describe work relevant to PEPM (whose scope is detailed below), typeset as a one-page PDF using the two-column ‘sigplan’ sub-format of the new ‘acmart’ format available at: http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ and sent by email to the programme co-chairs, Manuel Hermenegildo and Atsushi Igarashi, at: manuel.hermenegi...@imdea.org, igara...@kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp Please also include in the email: * a short summary of the abstract (in plain text), * the type(s) of proposed presentation (poster and/or demo), and * whether you would like to give a scheduled short talk (in addition to the poster/demo presentation). Abstracts should be sent no later than: Friday, 14th December 2018, anywhere on earth and will be considered for acceptance on a rolling basis. Accepted abstracts, along with their short summary, will be posted on PEPM 2019’s website. At least one author of each accepted abstract must attend the workshop and present the work during the poster/demo session. Student participants with accepted posters/demos can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses and other support. PAC also offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC programme, see its web page. 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 and Atsushi Igarashi (manuel.hermenegi...@imdea.org, igara...@kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp).
