Haskell Symposium Early Deadline in Two Weeks
by Iavor Diatchki 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

================================================================================ ACM SIGPLAN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Haskell Symposium 2017 Oxford, United Kingdom, 7--8 September 2017 https://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2017/ ================================================================================ The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2017 will be co-located with the 2017 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP), in Oxford, United Kingdom. The Haskell Symposium aims to present original research on Haskell, discuss practical experience and future development of the language, and to promote other forms of denotative programming. Topics of interest include: * Language design, with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of Haskell as well as critical discussions of the status quo; * Theory, such as formal semantics of the present language or future extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and foundations for program analysis and transformation; * Implementations, including program analysis and transformation, static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed architectures, memory management, as well as foreign function and component interfaces; * Libraries, that demonstrate new ideas or techniques for functional programming in Haskell; * Tools, such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors, and testing tools; * Applications, to scientific and symbolic computing, databases, multimedia, telecommunication, the web, and so forth; * Functional Pearls, being elegant and instructive programming examples; * Experience Reports, to document general practice and experience in education, industry, or other contexts. * System Demonstrations, based on running software rather than novel research results. Regular papers should explain their research contributions in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work, and to other languages where appropriate. Experience reports and functional pearls need not necessarily report original academic research results. For example, they may instead report reusable programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or practical experience that will be useful to other users, implementors, or researchers. The key criterion for such a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other Haskellers can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a standard solution to a standard programming problem, or report on experience where you used Haskell in the standard way and achieved the result you were expecting. More advice is available via the Haskell wiki. System demonstrations should summarize the system capabilities that would be demonstrated. The proposals will be judged on whether the ensuing session is likely to be important and interesting to the Haskell community at large, whether on grounds academic or industrial, theoretical or practical, technical, social or artistic. Please contact the program chair with any questions about the relevance of a proposal. Submission Details ================== Early and Regular Track ----------------------- The Haskell Symposium uses a two-track submission process so that some papers can gain early feedback. Strong papers submitted to the early track are accepted outright, and the others will be given their reviews and invited to resubmit to the regular track. Papers accepted via the early and regular tracks are considered of equal value and will not be distinguished in the proceedings. Although all papers may be submitted to the early track, authors of functional pearls and experience reports are particularly encouraged to use this mechanism. The success of these papers depends heavily on the way they are presented, and submitting early will give the program committee a chance to provide feedback and help draw out the key ideas. Formatting ---------- Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Authors should use the `acmart` format, with the `sigplan` sub-format for ACM proceedings. For details, see: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format Functional pearls, experience reports, and demo proposals should be labelled clearly as such. Page Limits ----------- The length of submissions should not exceed the following limits: Regular paper: 12 pages Functional pearl: 12 pages Experience report: 6 pages Demo proposal: 2 pages There is no requirement that all pages are used. For example, a functional pearl may be much shorter than 12 pages. Deadlines --------- Early track: Submission deadline: 13 March 2017, Monday Notification: 01 May 2017, Monday Regular track and demos: Submission deadline: 22 May 2017, Monday Notification: 26 June 2017, Monday Deadlines are valid anywhere on Earth. Submission ---------- Submission should adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as explained on the web. The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm. There will be no extensions, and papers violating the length limitations will be summarily rejected. Papers should be submitted through easychair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=haskell2017 Travel Support ============== Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses. 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 program, see its web page (http://pac.sigplan.org) Proceedings =========== Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors must grant ACM publication rights upon acceptance (http://authors.acm.org/main.html) Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their paper (source code, test data, etc.); they retain copyright of auxiliary material. Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the symposium website but not formally published in the proceedings. All accepted papers and proposals will be posted on the conference website one week before the meeting. Publication date: The official publication date of accepted papers is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.

RV 2017 - 2nd Call for papers and tutorials
by Klaus Havelund 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

*RV 2017* *Call for Papers and Tutorials* The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification September 13-16, Seattle, WA, USA http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk rv2017(a)easychair.org Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally more practical than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime verification can be used prior to deployment, for testing, verification, and debugging purposes, and after deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for providing fault containment and recovery as well as online system repair. Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to: - specification languages - monitor construction techniques - program instrumentation - logging, recording, and replay - combination of static and dynamic analysis - specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces - monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems - runtime checking of privacy and security policies - statistical model checking - metrics and statistical information gathering - program/system execution visualization - fault localization, containment, recovery and repair - integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical systems, safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems software, autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy. We welcome contributions exploring the combination of runtime verification techniques with machine learning and static analysis. Whilst these are highlight topics, papers falling into these categories will not be treated differently from other contributions. An overview of previous RV conferences and earlier workshops can be found at: http://www.runtime-verification.org. RV 2017 will be held September 13-16 in Seattle, WA, USA. RV 2017 will feature a tutorial day (September 13), and three conference days (September 14-16). Important Dates *Papers* as well as *tutorial proposals* will follow the following timeline: - Abstract deadline: April 24, 2017 (Anywhere on Earth) - Paper and tutorial deadline: May 1, 2017 (Anywhere on Earth) - Tutorial notification: May 21, 2017 - Paper notification: June 26, 2017 - Camera-ready deadline: July 24, 2017 - Conference: September 13-16, 2017 Invited Speakers We are very pleased to confirm the following invited speakers for RV 2017: <http://cs.brown.edu/~rfonseca/> - Rodrigo Fonseca <http://cs.brown.edu/~rfonseca/>, Brown University, USA - Vlad Levin and Jakob Lichtenberg <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/drivers/devtest/static-an…>, Microsoft Research, USA - Andreas Zeller <https://www.st.cs.uni-saarland.de/zeller/>, Saarland University, Germany General Information on Submissions All papers and tutorials will appear in the conference proceedings in an LNCS volume. Submitted papers and tutorials must use the LNCS/Springer style detailed here: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Papers must be original work and not be submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be written in English and submitted electronically (in PDF format) using the EasyChair submission page here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv17 The page limitations mentioned below include all text and figures, but exclude references. Additional details omitted due to space limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix, that will be reviewed at the discretion of reviewers, but not included in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must attend RV 2017 to present. Paper Submissions There are three categories of papers which can be submitted: regular, short or tool papers. Papers in each category will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. - *Regular Papers* (up to 15 pages, not including references) should present original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers, system papers, papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and case studies on runtime verification. - *Short Papers* (up to 6 pages, not including references) may present novel but not necessarily thoroughly worked out ideas, for example emerging runtime verification techniques and applications, or techniques and applications that establish relationships between runtime verification and other domains. - *Tool Demonstration Papers* (up to 8 pages, not including references) should present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification. The paper must include information on tool availability, maturity, selected experimental results and it should provide a link to a website containing the theoretical background and user guide. Furthermore, we strongly encourage authors to make their tools and benchmarks available with their submission. The Program Committee of RV 2017 will give a best paper award, and a selection of accepted regular papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of the Springer Journal on Formal Methods in System Design <http://link.springer.com/journal/10703>. Tutorial Submissions Tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected topic. Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a paper of up to 20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings, not including references.

CFP: International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling (OCL 2017)
by Achim D. Brucker 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

(Apologies for duplicates) CALL FOR PAPERS 17th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling Co-located with STAF 2017 SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES: APPLICATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS July 20, 2017, Marburg, Germany http://oclworkshop.github.io Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical notation. Such visual representations enable direct intuitive capturing of reality, but they have weaknesses: for example, detailed visual representations bear the risk of becoming overcrowded faster than textual models and some of the visual features lack the level of precision required to create complete and unambiguous specifications. These weaknesses of graphical notations encouraged the development of text-based modeling languages that either integrate with or replace graphical notations for modeling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF, Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots in formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases. The goal of this workshop is to create a forum where researchers and practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds of textual languages can directly interact, report advances, share results, identify tools for language development, and discuss appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options for potential cooperation. ## Topics of interest Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms - Algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations in the context of textual modeling languages for: - validation, verification, and testing, - model transformation and code generation, - meta-modeling and DSLs, and - query and constraint specifications - Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modeling languages - Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modeling expressions - Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modeling languages - Tools that support textual modeling languages (e.g., verification of OCL formulae, runtime monitoring of invariants) - Complexity results for textual modeling languages - Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating textual modeling tools and algorithms - Successful applications of textual modeling languages - Case studies on industrial applications of textual modeling languages - Experience reports: - usage of textual modeling languages and tools in complex domains, - usability of textual modeling languages and tools for end-users - Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modeling languages - Innovative textual modeling tools - Comparison, evaluation and integration of modeling languages - Correlation between modeling languages and modeling tasks This year, we particularly encourage submissions describing applications and case studies of textual modeling as well as test suites and benchmark collections for evaluating textual modeling tools. ## Venue This workshop will be organized as a part of STAF 2017 Conferenze in Marburg, Germany. It was previously organized as part of the MODELS conference. Similar to its predecessors , the workshop addresses both people from academia and industry . The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration of OCL and other textual modeling languages , as well as tools for textual modeling , and for disseminating good practice and discussing the new requirements for textual modeling . ## Workshop Format The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions. ## Submissions Two types of papers will be considered: * Short contributions (between 6 and 8 pages) describing new ideas, innovative tools or position papers. * Full papers (between 12 and 16 pages). in LNCS format. Submissions should be uploaded to [EasyChair](https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl17). The program committee will review the submissions (minimum 2 reviews per paper, usually 3 reviews) and select papers according to their relevance and interest for discussions that will take place at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published online in a post-conference edition of [CEUR](http://www.ceur-ws.org). ## Important Dates - Submission of papers: April 28, 2017 - Notification: May 25, 2017 - Workshop date: July 20, 2017 -- Dr. Achim D.
