GENERAL INFORMATION ------------------------------------- Submissions should not exceed 17 pages, excluding bibliography in the Springer LNCS format. LaTeX template is available at: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui... The accepted papers will be allowed to use one extra page for the content to accommodate feedback from the reviews in the final paper versions. Papers should be submitted via HotCRP: https://aplas2023.hotcrp.com/ The review process of APLAS 2023 is double-anonymous, with a rebuttal phase. In your submission, please, omit your names and institutions; refer to your prior work in the third person, just as you refer to prior work by others; do not include acknowledgments that might identify you. Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit. Reviewers are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers must be understandable without them. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be written in English. The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer’s LNCS series. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference. POSTERS and STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION ---------------------------------------- APLAS 2023 includes a Posters session and a Student Research Competition. For more details, please see the website. https://conf.researchr.org/track/aplas-2023/posters-and-src ORGANIZERS ------------------------------------- General Chair: Shin-Cheng Mu, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Program Chair: Chung-Kil Hur, Seoul National University, Korea Publicity Chair: Ryosuke Sato, University of Tokyo, Japan Program Committee: Soham Chakraborty, TU Delft, Netherlands Yu-Fang Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Ronghui Gu, Columbia University, USA Ichiro Hasuo, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Ralf Jung, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Ohad Kammar, University of Edinburgh, UK Jeehoon Kang, KAIST, Korea Jieung Kim, Inha University, Korea Robbert Krebbers, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands Ori Lahav, Tel Aviv University, Israel Doug Lea, State University of New York at Oswego, USA Woosuk Lee, Hanyang University, Korea Hongjin Liang, Nanjing University, China Nuno P.
