Submission deadline is extended until April 24th !! Aims and Scope ============== The aim of WPTE is to bring together the researchers working on program transformations, evaluation, and operationally-based programming language semantics, using rewriting methods, in order to share the techniques and recent developments and to exchange ideas to encourage further activation of research in this area. The previous WPTE was held in Vienna 2014. Topics of interest in the scope of this workshop include: * Correctness of program transformations, optimizations and translations. * Program transformations for proving termination, confluence and other properties. * Correctness of evaluation strategies. * Operational semantics of programs, operationally-based program equivalences such as contextual equivalences and bisimulations. * Cost-models for reasoning about the optimizing power of transformations and the costs of evaluation. * Program transformations for verification and theorem proving purposes. * Translation, simulation, equivalence of programs with different formalisms, and evaluation strategies. * Program transformations for applying rewriting techniques to programs in specific programming languages. * Program transformations for program inversions and program synthesis. * Program transformation and evaluation for Haskell and Rewriting. The programming languages of interest include pure, deterministic, impure, nondeterministic, concurrent, parallel languages, and may employ programming paradigms such as functional, logical, typed, imperative, object-oriented, and higher-order. 'Program transformation and evaluation for Haskell and Rewriting' is a new topic of this workshop: equational reasoning and other rewriting techniques for program verification and analysis; lambda calculi and type systems for functional programs and higher-order rewrite systems; rewriting of type expressions in the type checker; rewriting of programs by refactoring tools, optimizers, code generators; execution of programs as a form of graph rewriting (terms with sharing); Template Haskell, generally introducing a rewriting-like macro language into the compilation process; rewriting modulo commonly occurring axioms such as associativity, commutativity, and identity element.

Haskell on Windows instructions - is MinGHC version update needed?
by Howard B. Golden 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi, Currently, the Haskell website's Windows download page (https://www.haskell.org/downloads/windows) offers two alternatives, MinGHC and Haskell Platform. The MinGHC alternative has a link to MinGHC-7.8.3 installer. Should this be updated to MinGHC-7.8.4? I ask this because Long Term Support Haskell 2.3 is now using GHC 7.8.4. If you want to update the link, you only need to change the URL from 7.8.3 to 7.8.4. Howard

LOLA 2015: Second Call for Talk Proposals
by Ulrich Schöpp 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

SECOND CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS ______________________________________________________________________ LOLA 2015: Syntax and Semantics of Low Level Languages Sunday, 5 July 2015, Kyoto, Japan A satellite workshop of ICALP/LICS http://lola15.tcs.ifi.lmu.de ______________________________________________________________________ /Important Dates/ Abstract submission: Monday, 20 April 2015 Author notification: Friday, 1 May 2015 LOLA 2015 workshop: Sunday, 5 July 2015 /Invited Speakers/ Katsuhiro Ueno, Tohoku University, Japan Other invited speakers to be announced. /Workshop Description/ It has been understood since the late 1960s that tools and structures arising in mathematical logic and proof theory can usefully be applied to the design of high level programming languages, and to the development of reasoning principles for such languages. Yet low level languages, such as machine code, and the compilation of high level languages into a low level ones have traditionally been seen as having little or no essential connection to logic. However, a fundamental discovery of this past decade has been that low level languages are also governed by logical principles. From this key observation has emerged an active and fascinating new research area at the frontier of logic and computer science. The practically-motivated design of logics reflecting the structure of low level languages (such as heaps, registers and code pointers) and low level properties of programs (such as resource usage) goes hand in hand with some of the most advanced contemporary research in semantics and proof theory, including classical realizability and forcing, double orthogonality, parametricity, linear logic, game semantics, uniformity, categorical semantics, explicit substitutions, abstract machines, implicit complexity and resource bounded programming. The LOLA workshop, affiliated with LICS 2015, will bring together researchers interested in many aspects of the relationship between logic and low level languages and programs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Typed assembly languages - Certified assembly programming - Certified and certifying compilation - Relaxed memory models - Proof-carrying code - Program optimization - Modal logic and realizability in machine code - Realizability and double orthogonality in assembly code - Parametricity, modules and existential types - General references, Kripke models and recursive types - Continuations and concurrency - Implicit complexity, sublinear programming and Turing machines - Closures and explicit substitutions - Linear logic and separation logic - Game semantics, abstract machines and hardware synthesis - Monoidal and premonoidal categories, traces and effects /Submission Information/ LOLA is an informal workshop aiming at a high degree of useful interaction amongst the participants, welcoming proposals for talks on work in progress, overviews of larger programmes, position presentations and short tutorials as well as more traditional research talks describing new results. The program committee will select the workshop presentations from submitted talk proposals, which may take the form either of a *two page abstract* or of a longer (published or unpublished) paper describing completed work. Abstracts can be submitted using EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lola2015 /Program Committee/ Ichiro Hasuo (University of Tokyo) Chung-Kil Hur (Seoul National University) Shin-ya Katsumata (RIMS, Kyoto University, co-chair) Damiano Mazza (CNRS, LIPN--University Paris 13) Magnus Myreen (University of Cambridge) Ulrich Schoepp (LMU Munich, co-chair) Nikhil Swamy (Microsoft Research, Redmond) Nicolas Tabareau (CNRS, INRIA) Noam Zeilberger (Microsoft Research--INRIA)

Such sources can be relational databases, software models and code, or any other document following standard or ad-hoc formats. Bx are an emerging topic in a wide range of research areas, with prominent presence at top conferences in several different fields (namely databases, programming languages, software engineering, and graph transformation), but with results in one field often getting limited exposure in the others. Bx 2015 is a dedicated venue for Bx in all relevant fields, and is part of a workshop series that was created in order to promote cross-disciplinary research and awareness in the area. As such, since its beginning in 2012, the workshop rotated between venues in different fields. In 2015, Bx is co-located with STAF for the first time. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: 24 April 2015 Paper submission: 8 May 2015 Author notification: 5 June 2015 Camera-ready version: 19 June 2015 Workshop date: 24 July 2015 AIM AND TOPICS The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners, established and new, interested in Bx from different perspectives, such as: * data and model synchronization * view updating * inter-model consistency analysis and repair * data/schema (or model/metamodel) co-evolution * coupled software/model transformations * inversion of transformations and data exchange mappings * domain-specific languages for Bx * analysis and classification of requirements for Bx * bridging the gap between formal concepts and application scenarios * analysis of efficiency of transformation algorithms and benchmarks * survey and comparison of Bx technologies * case studies and tool support PAPER CATEGORIES Submissions to Bx 2015 can be: * Regular papers (up to 15 pages) - in-depth presentations of novel concepts and results - applications of Bx to new domains - survey papers providing novel comparisons between existing technologies - case studies * Short papers (up to 8 pages) - work in progress - small focused contributions - position papers and research perspectives * Tool papers (up to 8 pages) - presentation of new tools or substantial improvements to existing ones * Benchmark papers (up to 8 pages) - new benchmark proposals, focusing on assessing aspects of Bx not covered by the examples currently available at the Bx example repository SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submitted papers must follow the CEUR one column style available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/samplestyles/. Tool papers must refer to a web page describing how to download and install the presented tool. Papers describing tools that have already been published elsewhere are expected to contain substantial and clearly identified extensions to the tool. Benchmark papers should follow the template of the Bx example repository (http://bx-community.wikidot.com/examples:home) and clearly justify the relevance of the new benchmark as a means to assess Bx tools and techniques (in particular, submissions of cross-disciplinary benchmarks are encouraged). Moreover, they must refer to a web page providing supporting artifacts (metamodels/schemas, model/data instances for interesting test cases, executable consistency checkers, etc). Papers must be submitted via the EasyChair system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bx2015 Submissions not complying with the above guidelines or page limits may be excluded from the reviewing process without further notice. If a paper is accepted, one author of the paper is expected to participate in the workshop to present it. Authors of accepted tool papers are also expected to be available to demonstrate their tool at the event. PROCEEDINGS AND SPECIAL ISSUE The workshop proceedings, including all accepted papers, will be published electronically by CEUR (http://ceur-ws.org) Authors of accepted papers (of all categories) that have high-quality and the potential to be extended into journal articles will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their paper to a special issue of the Journal of Object Technology (http://www.jot.fm) these papers will then be subject to a careful reviewing and selection process according to the scientific standards of the Journal of Object Technology.
