=============================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ACM SIGPLAN 2010 Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM'10) Madrid, January 18-19, 2010 (Affiliated with POPL'10) http://www.program-transformation.org/PEPM10 =============================================================== INVITED SPEAKERS: * Lennart Augustsson (Standard Chartered Bank, UK) * Jeremy Siek (University of Colorado at Boulder, USA) IMPORTANT DATES: * Paper submission: Tue, October 6, 2009, 23:59, Apia time * Author notification: Thu, October 29, 2009 * Camera-ready papers: Mon, November 9, 2009 To facilitate smooth organization of the review process, authors are asked to submit a short abstract by October 1, 2009. SUBMISSION CATEGORIES: * Regular research papers (max. 10 pages in ACM Proceedings style) * Tool demonstration papers (max. 4 pages plus max. 6 pages appendix) TRAVEL SUPPORT: Students and other attendants in need can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover expenses. For details, see http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm. SCOPE: The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the areas of program manipulation, partial evaluation, and program generation. PEPM focuses on techniques, theories, tools, and applications of analysis and manipulation of programs. The 2010 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad interpretation of semantics-based program manipulation in a continued effort to expand the scope of PEPM significantly beyond the traditionally covered areas of partial evaluation and specialization and include practical applications of program transformations such as refactoring tools, and practical implementation techniques such as rule-based transformation systems. In addition, it covers manipulation and transformations of program and system representations such as structural and semantic models that occur in the context of model-driven development. In order to reach out to practitioners, there is a separate category of tool demonstration papers. Topics of interest for PEPM'10 include, but are not limited to: * Program and model manipulation techniques such as transformations driven by rules, patterns, or analyses, partial evaluation, specialization, program inversion, program composition, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, aspect weaving, decompilation, and obfuscation. * Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model manipulation such as abstract interpretation, static analysis, binding-time analysis, dynamic analysis, constraint solving, type systems, automated testing and test case generation. * Analysis and transformation for programs/models with advanced features such as objects, generics, ownership types, aspects, reflection, XML type systems, component frameworks, and middleware. * Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including meta-programming, generative programming, deep embedded domain-specific languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming, staged computation, and model-driven program generation and transformation. * Application of the above techniques including experimental studies, engineering needed for scalability, and 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, resource-limited computation, and security. We especially encourage papers that break new ground including descriptions of how program/model manipulation tools can be integrated into realistic software development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications, and new areas of application such as rapidly evolving systems, distributed and web-based programming including middleware manipulation, model-driven development, and on-the-fly program adaptation driven by run-time or statistical analysis. PROCEEDINGS: There will be formal proceedings published by ACM Press. In addition to printed proceedings, accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Selected papers may later on be invited for a journal special issue dedicated to PEPM'10. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Papers should be submitted electronically via the workshop web site. Regular research papers must not exceed 10 pages in ACM Proceedings style. Tool demonstration papers must not exceed 4 pages in ACM Proceedings style, and authors will be expected to present a live demonstration of the described tool at the workshop (tool papers should include an additional appendix of up to 6 extra pages giving the outline, screenshots, examples, etc. to indicate the content of the proposed live demo at the workshop). Authors using Latex to prepare their submissions should use the new improved SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls). PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS: * John Gallagher (Roskilde University, Denmark, and IMDEA Software, Spain) * Janis Voigtländer (Technische Universität Dresden, Germany) PROGRAM COMMITTEE MEMBERS: * Wei-Ngan Chin (National University of Singapore, Singapore) * Michael Codish (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel) * Jim Cordy (Queen's University, Canada) * Nate Foster (University of Pennsylvania, USA) * Haifeng Guo (University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA) * Patricia Johann (University of Strathclyde, UK) * Oleg Kiselyov (FNMOC, USA) * Günter Kniesel (University of Bonn, Germany) * Viktor Kuncak (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland) * Yanhong Annie Liu (State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA) * Andres Löh (Utrecht University, Netherlands) * Jan Midtgaard (Roskilde University, Denmark) * David Monniaux (National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and VERIMAG laboratory, France) * Akimasa Morihata (University of Tokyo, Japan) * Alberto Pettorossi (Università di Roma Tor Vergata, Italy) * João Saraiva (Universidade do Minho, Portugal) * Ganesh Sittampalam (Credit Suisse, UK) * Fausto Spoto (Università di Verona, Italy) * Harald Søndergaard (University of Melbourne, Australia) * Walid Taha (Rice University, USA)

regular: Generic programming with fixed points for regular datatypes ==================================================================== Many generic programs require information about the recursive positions of a datatype. Examples include the generic fold, generic rewriting, and the Zipper data structure. This approach provides a fixed point view on data which allows these definitions for regular datatypes. It can be seen as a simplification of the Multirec library, which provides similar functionality but for families of (possibly mutually recursive) datatypes. This library is the underlying generic representation mechanism in the paper: Thomas van Noort, Alexey Rodriguez, Stefan Holdermans, Johan Jeuring, Bastiaan Heeren. A Lightweight Approach to Datatype-Generic Rewriting. In Ralf Hinze and Don Syme, editors, Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming, WGP 2008, Victoria, BC, Canada, September 20, 2008, pages 13–24. ACM Press, 2008. More information is available on the webpage: http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/bin/view/GenericProgramming/Regular Features -------- * A simple library with a fixed point view * Includes detailed examples, such as the generic fold * Forms the basis for a generic rewriting library: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/rewriting * In its current form, this library does not support nested datatypes. Support to access parameters of a datatype is limited. Requirements ------------ * GHC 6.10.1 or later * Cabal 1.2.1 or later Download -------- With cabal-install: cabal install regular Get the package: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/regular Get the source: svn checkout https://subversion.cs.uu.nl/repos/project.dgp-haskell.libraries/regular/ Bugs & Support -------------- Report issues, request features, or just discuss the library with the authors, maintainers, and other interested persons at: http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/generics -------------- José Pedro Magalhães Universiteit Utrecht
