by Peter Achten 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

====== TFP 2022 ====== 23rd Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming 10-11 February, 2022 Krakow, Poland https://trendsfp.github.io/index.html == Important Dates == Submission deadline for pre-symposium review Wednesday 1st December, 2021 Submission deadline for draft papers Wednesday 12th January, 2022 Notification for pre-symposium submissions Friday 21st January, 2022 Notification for draft submissions Friday 21st January, 2022 Symposium dates Thursday 10th - Friday 11th February, 2022 Submission deadline for post-symposium reviewing Wednesday 16th March, 2022 Notification for post-symposium submissions Friday 13rd May, 2022 The Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions. Please be aware that TFP uses two distinct rounds of submissions. TFP 2022 will be co-located with two other functional programming events. TFP 2022 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take place on February 11. Simultaneously with TFP, Lambda Days '22 is a two day conference where academia meets industry, where research and practical application collide. == Scope == The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: * Research Articles: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work * Position Articles: On what new trends should or should not be * Project Articles: Descriptions of recently started new projects * Evaluation Articles: What lessons can be drawn from a finished project * Overview Articles: Summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject Articles must be original and not simultaneously submitted for publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Topics suitable for the symposium include, but are not limited to: * Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing * Functional programming in the cloud * High performance functional computing * Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs * Dependently typed functional programming * Validation and verification of functional programs * Debugging and profiling for functional languages * Functional programming in different application areas: security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded systems, global computing, grids, etc. * Interoperability with imperative programming languages * Novel memory management techniques * Program analysis and transformation techniques * Empirical performance studies * Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages * (Embedded) domain specific languages * New implementation strategies * Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2022 program chairs, Wouter Swierstra and Nicolas Wu. == Best Paper Awards == To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper accepted for the formal proceedings. TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students, acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors, and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then receive both prizes. == Instructions to Author == Papers must be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp22 Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed either before or after the Symposium. == Pre-symposium formal review == Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted before an early deadline and receive their reviews and notification of acceptance for both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that has been rejected in this process may still be accepted for presentation at the symposium, but will not be considered for the post-symposium formal review. == Post-symposium formal review == Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance for presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised papers based on the feedback received at the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these articles for formal publication. == Paper categories == Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted as extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (20 pages). The submission must clearly indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A draft paper for which all authors are students will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has taken place. == Format == Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS web site. == Program Committee == Program Co-chairs Nicolas Wu - Imperial College London Wouter Swierstra - Utrecht University The remainder of the PC will be announced on the conference website.

Call for Papers: FLOPS 2022
by Michael Hanus 26 Sep '21

26 Sep '21

============================================================================ Call For Papers FLOPS 2022: 16th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming ============================================================================ In-Cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN May 10-12, 2022, Kyoto, Japan https://conf.researchr.org/home/flops-2022 Writing down detailed computational steps is not the only way of programming. The alternative, being used increasingly in practice, is to start by writing down the desired properties of the result. The computational steps are then (semi-)automatically derived from these higher-level specifications. Examples of this declarative style include functional and logic programming, program transformation and re-writing, and extracting programs from proofs of their correctness. FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and implementors of the declarative programming, to discuss mutually interesting results and common problems: theoretical advances, their implementations in language systems and tools, and applications of these systems in practice. The scope includes all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, applications, implementations, and teaching of declarative programming. FLOPS specifically aims to promote cross-fertilization between theory and practice and among different styles of declarative programming. *** Scope *** FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of declarative programming: * functional, logic, functional-logic programming, rewriting systems, formal methods and model checking, program transformations and program refinements, developing programs with the help of theorem provers or SAT/SMT solvers, verifying properties of programs using declarative programming techniques; * foundations, language design, implementation issues (compilation techniques, memory management, run-time systems, etc.), applications and case studies. FLOPS promotes cross-fertilization among different styles of declarative programming. Therefore, research papers must be written to be understandable by the wide audience of declarative programmers and researchers. In particular, each submission should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant for its area, and comparing it with previous work. Submission of system descriptions and declarative pearls are especially encouraged. *** Submission *** Submissions should fall into one of the following categories: * Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will be judged on originality, correctness, and significance. * System descriptions: they should describe a working system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design. * Declarative pearls: new and excellent declarative programs or theories with illustrative applications. System descriptions and declarative pearls must be explicitly marked as such in the title. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted. See also ACM SIGPLAN Republication Policy, as explained at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication. Submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 pages excluding references, though system descriptions and pearls are typically shorter. The formatting has to conform to Springer's guidelines. Regular research papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made accessible otherwise (e.g., a link to an anonymized web page or an appendix, which does not count towards the page limit). However, it is the responsibility of the authors to guarantee that their paper can be understood and appreciated without referring to this supporting information; reviewers may simply choose not to look at it when writing their review. FLOPS 2022 will employ a double-blind reviewing process. To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules: 1. author names and institutions must be omitted, and 2. references to authors' own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work..." but rather "We build on the work of..."). The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to a judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. Papers should be submitted electronically at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flops2022 Springer Guidelines https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… *** Proceedings *** The proceedings will be published by Springer International Publishing in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (www.springer.com/lncs) *** Important Dates *** Abstract submission: November 14, 2021 (AoE) Paper submission: November 21, 2021 (AoE) Notification: January 17, 2022 Camera ready due: February 17, 2022 Symposium: May 10-12, 2022 *** Program Comittee *** Andreas Abel Gothenburg University, Sweden Elvira Albert Universidad Complutense de Madrid Nada Amin Harvard Universuty, USA Davide Ancona Univ.

Second Call for Papers: 24th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2022)
by James Cheney 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

=== Second Call for Papers === 24th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2022) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States 17-18th January 2022 https://popl22.sigplan.org/home/PADL-2022 Co-located with POPL 2022 Conference Description ---------------------- Declarative languages comprise several well-established classes of formalisms, namely, functional, logic, and constraint programming. Such formalisms enjoy both sound theoretical bases and the availability of attractive frameworks for application development. Indeed, they have been already successfully applied to many different real-world situations, ranging from database management to active networks to software engineering to decision support systems. New developments in theory and implementation fostered applications in new areas. At the same time, applications of declarative languages to novel and challenging problems raise many interesting research issues, including designing for scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications drive the progress in the theory and implementation of declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well. PADL is a well-established forum for researchers and practitioners to present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of declarative programming, including functional and logic programming, database and constraint programming, and theorem proving. Topic of interest include, but are not limited to: - Innovative applications of declarative languages - Declarative domain-specific languages and applications - Practical applications of theoretical results - New language developments and their impact on applications - Declarative languages and software engineering - Evaluation of implementation techniques on practical applications - Practical experiences and industrial applications - Novel uses of declarative languages in the classroom - Practical extensions such as constraint-based, probabilistic, and reactive languages PADL 2022 especially welcomes new ideas and approaches related to applications, design and implementation of declarative languages going beyond the scope of the past PADL symposia, for example, advanced database languages and contract languages, as well as verification and theorem proving methods that rely on declarative languages. Submissions ----------- PADL 2022 welcomes three kinds of submission: * Technical papers (max. 15 pages) Technical papers must describe original, previously unpublished research results. * Application papers (max. 8 pages) Application papers are a mechanism to present important practical applications of declarative languages that occur in industry or in areas of research other than Computer Science. Application papers are expected to describe complex and/or real-world applications that rely on an innovative use of declarative languages. Application descriptions, engineering solutions and real-world experiences (both positive and negative) are solicited. * Extended abstracts (max. 3 pages) Describing new ideas, a new perspective on already published work, or work-in-progress that is not yet ready for a full publication. Extended abstracts will be posted on the symposium website but will not be published in the formal proceedings. All page limits exclude references. Submissions must be formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style. The conference proceedings of PADL2022 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted but the authors should notify the program chairs about the place in which it has previously appeared. PADL 2022 submissions are handled through the EasyChair conference management system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=padl2022. Important dates (tentative) --------------- Abstract submission: 1 October 2021 (AoE) Paper submission: 8 October 2021 Notification of acceptance: 5 November 2021 Symposium: 17-18th January 2022 COVID-19 -------- PADL is co-located with POPL, which will take place January 16-22, 2022, as a physical, virtual, or hybrid physical/virtual meeting. We will be monitoring the Covid-19 situation and will announce a decision on the nature of the meeting in time which will follow suit with POPL. Distinguished Papers -------------------- The authors of a small number of distinguished papers will be invited to submit a longer version for journal publication after the symposium. For papers related to logic programming, in the journal Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/theory-and-practice-of-logic-progra…, and for papers related to functional programming, in Journal of Functional Programming (JFP) https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-functional-programming. The extended journal submissions should include roughly 30% more content including, for example, explanations for which there was no space, illuminating examples and proofs, additional definitions and theorems, further experimental results, implementational details and feedback from practical/engineering use, extended discussion of related work and such like. Invited Speakers ---------------- PADL 2022 features two invited talks by: - Marcello Balduccini (https://www.sju.edu/faculty/marcello-balduccini/) - Shriram Krishnamurthi (https://cs.brown.edu/~sk/) Chairs ------ - James Cheney, University of Edinburgh - Simona Perri, University of Calabria Programme Committee ------------------- Andres Löh, WellTyped Chiaki Sakama, Wakayama University Daniela Inclezan, Miami University Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Heriot-Watt University Esra Erdem, Sabanci University Francesco Calimeri, University of Calabria Jan Christiansen, Flensburg University of Applied Sciences Konstantin Schekotihin, University of Klagenfurt Lionel Parreaux, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Marco Maratea, University of Genova Marina De Vos, University of Bath Martin Erwig, Oregon State University Martin Gebser, University of Klagenfurt Michael Greenberg, Stevens Institute of Technology Paul Tarau, University of North Texas Pavan Kumar Chittimalli, TCS Research, India Pedro Cabalar, University of Corunna Roly Perera, The Alan Turing Institute Tomas Petricek, University of Kent Torsten Grust, University of Tübingen Tran Cao Son, New Mexico State University Yukiyoshi Kameyama, University of Tsukuba

PEPM 2022 - Second Call for Papers
by Youyou Cong 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

-- CALL FOR PAPERS -- ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2022 =============================================================================== * Website : https://popl22.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2022 * Time : 17th--18th January 2022 * Place : Online or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (co-located with POPL 2022) ** Deadline: 7th October ** ** Update: We are organizing a special event on the history of PEPM. Details will be posted on the workshop website. ** The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM) has a history going back to 1991 and has been co-located with POPL every year since 2006. It originated with the discoveries of useful automated techniques for evaluating programs with only partial input. Over the years, the scope of PEPM has expanded to include a variety of research areas centred around the theme of semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic exploitation of treating programs not only as subjects to black-box execution but also as data structures that can be generated, analysed, and transformed while establishing or maintaining important semantic properties. Scope ----- In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2022 welcomes submissions in new domains, in particular: * Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and program optimisation. * Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed and concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types, linear types, and contract specifications. More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2022 include, but are not limited to: * Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation, partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, decompilation, and obfuscation. * Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming, staged computation, and model-driven program generation and transformation. * Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model manipulation such as: abstract interpretation, termination checking, binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems, automated testing and test case generation. * Application of the above techniques including case studies of program manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source) projects and software development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications, 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, embedded and resource-limited computation, and security. This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions describing new theories and applications related to semantics-based program manipulation in general. If you have a question as to whether a potential submission is within the scope of the workshop, please contact the programme co-chairs, Zena M. Ariola <ariola(a)cs.uoregon.edu> and Youyou Cong <cong(a)c.titech.ac.jp>. Submission categories and guidelines ------------------------------------ Two kinds of submissions will be accepted: * Regular Research Papers should describe new results, and will be judged on originality, correctness, significance, and clarity. Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages. * Short Papers may include tool demonstrations and presentations of exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial, and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages. References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices may not be read by reviewers. Both kinds of submissions should be typeset using the two-column ‘sigplan’ sub-format of the new ‘acmart’ format available at: http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ and submitted electronically via HotCRP: https://pepm22.hotcrp.com/ Reviewing will be single-blind. Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the two co-chairs). Accepted regular research papers will appear in formal proceedings published by ACM, and be included in the ACM Digital Library. Accepted short papers do not constitute formal publications and will not appear in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the workshop (physically or virtually) and present the work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected. Important dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline : **Thursday 7th October 2021 (AoE)** * Author notification : **Thursday 11th November 2021 (AoE)** * Workshop : **Monday 17th January 2022 to Tuesday 18th January 2022** Best paper award ---------------- PEPM 2022 continues the tradition of a Best Paper award. The winner will be announced at the workshop. Programme committee ------------------- * Chairs: Zena M.

Call for Presentations: PriSC 2022 @ POPL 2022
by Jonathan Protzenko 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Apologies if you're getting this email multiple times. All details are on the PriSC site <https://popl22.sigplan.org/home/prisc-2022>. ================================================ Call for Presentations: PriSC 2022 @ POPL 2022 ================================================ 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. 6th Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC 2022) ============================================================= 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 6th edition of PriSC will be held on January 22, together with the ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL), 2022. We hope to hold the workshop in person with for support for dial-in attendees. Important Dates =============== * Thu 28 Oct 2021: Submission Deadline * Thu 18 Nov 2021: Acceptance Notification * Sat 22 Jan 2022: 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.

CFP: The 6th International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-22)
by Yazan Mualla 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

Call For Papers CFP: The 6th International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-22) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies ANT 2022 March 22 - 25, 2022, Porto, Portugal. http://www.ciad-lab.fr/the-6th-international-workshop-on-agent-based-modeli… ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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-22 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-22 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 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-22 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-22 will be held in Porto, Portugal (March 22 - 25, 2022) in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2022). Topics ====== The main topics of the SARL-22 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: December 15, 2021; * Notification: December 30, 2021; * Final date for camera-ready copy: January 27, 2022; * Workshop: March 22 - 25, 2022. Submission ========== All workshop accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series online. 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 (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sarl22) not exceeding 6 pages in length, in a 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 (Univ. de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard, France); -Sebastian RODRIGUEZ (RMIT, Australia). Publicity Chair ================ Yazan MUALLA (Univ. de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard, France).
