Second Call for Presentations: PriSC 2021 @ POPL 2021
by PriSC PC Chairs 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

(Apologies if you're getting this email multiple times.) Short version: PriSC is a fun, welcoming and exciting venue. Share updates, ideas, thoughts or send students for a friendly gathering that may lead to future collaborations and ideas. Submit now! All details are on the PriSC site <https://popl21.sigplan.org/home/prisc-2021> <https://popl21.sigplan.org/home/prisc-2021> and in this email. ================================================ Call for Presentations: PriSC 2021 @ POPL 2021 ================================================ The emerging field of secure compilation aims to preserve security properties of programs when they have been compiled to low-level languages such as assembly, where high-level abstractions don’t exist, and unsafe, unexpected interactions with libraries, other programs, the operating system and even the hardware are possible. For unsafe source languages like C, secure compilation requires careful handling of undefined source-language behavior (like buffer overflows and double frees). Formally, secure compilation aims to protect high-level language abstractions in compiled code, even against adversarial low-level contexts, thus enabling sound reasoning about security in the source language. A complementary goal is to keep the compiled code efficient, often leveraging new hardware security features and advances in compiler design. Other necessary components are identifying and formalizing properties that secure compilers must possess, devising efficient security mechanisms (both software and hardware), and developing effective verification and proof techniques. Research in the field thus puts together advances in compiler design, programming languages, systems security, verification, and computer architecture. 5th Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC 2021) ============================================================= The Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC) is a relatively new, informal 1-day workshop without any proceedings. The goal is to bring together researchers interested in secure compilation and to identify interesting research directions and open challenges. The 5th edition of PriSC will be held on January 17 online, together with the ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL), 2021. Important Dates =============== * Fri 30 Oct 2020: Submission deadline * Wed 25 Nov 2020: Notification * Sun 17 Jan 2021: Workshop Presentation Proposals and Attending the Workshop ================================================= Anyone interested in presenting at the workshop should submit an extended abstract (up to 2 pages, details below) covering past, ongoing, or future work. Any topic that could be of interest to secure compilation is in scope. Secure compilation should be interpreted very broadly to include any work in security, programming languages, architecture, systems or their combination that can be leveraged to preserve security properties of programs when they are compiled or to eliminate low-level vulnerabilities. Presentations that provide a useful outside view or challenge the community are also welcome. This includes presentations on new attack vectors such as microarchitectural side-channels, whose defenses could benefit from compiler techniques. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Attacker models for secure compiler chains. * Secure compiler properties: fully abstract compilation and similar properties, memory safety, control-flow integrity, preservation of safety, information flow and other (hyper-)properties against adversarial contexts, secure multi-language interoperability. * Secure interaction between different programming languages: foreign function interfaces, gradual types, securely combining different memory management strategies. * Enforcement mechanisms and low-level security primitives: static checking, program verification, typed assembly languages, reference monitoring, program rewriting, software-based isolation/hiding techniques (SFI, crypto-based, randomization-based, OS/hypervisor-based), security-oriented architectural features such as Intel’s SGX, MPX and MPK, capability machines, side-channel defenses, object capabilities. * Experimental evaluation and applications of secure compilers. * Proof methods relevant to compilation: (bi)simulation, logical relations, game semantics, trace semantics, multi-language semantics, embedded interpreters. * Formal verification of secure compilation chains (protection mechanisms, compilers, linkers, loaders), machine-checked proofs, translation validation, property-based testing. Guidelines for Submitting Extended Abstracts ============================================ Extended abstracts should be submitted in PDF format and not exceed 2 pages (references not including). They should be formatted in two-column layout, 10pt font, and be printable on A4 and US Letter sized paper. We recommend using the new acmart LaTeX style in sigplan mode. Submissions are not anonymous and should provide sufficient detail to be assessed by the program committee. Presentation at the workshop does not preclude publication elsewhere. Contact and More Information ============================ You can find more information on the workshop website: https://popl21.sigplan.org/home/prisc-2021 For questions please contact the workshop chairs, Jonathan Protzenko and Deian Stefan.

Any interest in the 'biohaskell.org' domain?
by Ketil Malde 25 Oct '20

25 Oct '20

Hi, Some years ago, I set up the biohaskell.org domain with mailing list, wiki, etc, in order to collect bioinformatics tools, utilities, and libraries written in our favorite languages. Time has moved on, and I with it, and I am no longer doing (much) bioinformatics, and (sadly) also less Haskell. Now it is time to renew the domain again, and I wonder if there is any interest in it? If you would like to take it over or just want to see it continued existence, please send me an email and let me know. If I hear nothing, I'll unceremoniously let it pass away. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants

CFP - The 5th International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-21)
by Yazan Mualla 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

CALL FOR PAPERS The 5th International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-21) http://www.ciad-lab.fr/the-5nd-international-workshop-on-agent-based-modeli… ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In conjunction with * The 12th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2021) http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-21/ * The 3rd European Forum for the SARL Users and Developers (EuSarlCon-21) http://www.ciad-lab.fr/the-3rd-european-forum-for-the-sarl-users-and-develo… March 23 - 26, 2021, Warsaw, Poland. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many effective applications of this technology are now deployed. SARL-21 provides an international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate technology transfer. SARL workshop was born with the SARL agent programming language, but the scientific results presented in SARL-20 are not restricted to SARL; other languages and agent platforms may be presented. SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency, distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to effectively meet these features. Considering the variety of existing approaches and meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent systems, our approach remains as generic as possible and highly extensible to easily integrate new concepts and features. The goal of SARL-21 is to provide a place where the different points of view on the modeling and the simulation with agent platforms and agent programming languages may be discussed. SARL-21 will be held in Warsaw, Poland (March 23 - 26, 2021) in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2021) and the European SarlCon 2021. Topics ====== The main topics of the SARL-21 workshop are (but not restricted to): * Methods and Models: * Agent based Modeling and Simulation; * Agent programming language; * Agent based Simulation; * Agent oriented analysis and design methods; * Ontologies and theories about large urban systems; * Formal models of agent-based simulation; * Organizational models. * Applications: * Traffic/Transport; * Crowds; * Smart grids and smart buildings; * Land-Use; * Energy. Important Dates =============== * Submission deadline: November 1, 2020 * Notification: December 30, 2020 * Final date for camera-ready copy: January 27, 2021 * Workshop: March 23-26, 2021 Submission ========== All workshop accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line. The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of Procedia Computer Science, Elsevier. You are invited to submit full length papers in PDF format on EasyChair, not exceeding 6 pages in length, in single-column format including diagrams and references while following the Procedia Computer Science guidelines. Papers that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration of their merits. All papers will be reviewed by at least two Program Committee members on the basis of technical quality, originality, clarity, and relevance to the track topics listed above. At least one author of each paper must attend the workshop to present the paper. Workshop Chairs =============== * Stéphane GALLAND (Belfort-Montbeliard University of Technology, France) * Sebastian RODRIGUEZ (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia) Publicity Chairs ================ Yazan MUALLA (Belfort-Montbeliard University of Technology, France) Registration ============ Please visit the ANT21 Registration Page for more information: http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-21/#registration Venue, Accommodation & Visa Requirements ======================================== Please visit the ANT21 Venue & Accommodation Page for more information: http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-21/#conferenceVenue
