PriSC 2024: Call for Presentations
by PriSC PC Chairs 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

(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! ================================================ Call for Presentations: PriSC 2024 @ POPL 2024 ================================================ Secure compilation is an emerging field that puts together advances in security, programming languages, compilers, verification, systems, and hardware architectures in order to devise more secure compilation chains that eliminate many of today’s security vulnerabilities and that allow sound reasoning about security properties in the source language. For a concrete example, all modern languages provide a notion of structured control flow and an invoked procedure is expected to return to the right place. However, today’s compilation chains (compilers, linkers, loaders, runtime systems, hardware) cannot efficiently enforce this abstraction against linked low-level code, which can call and return to arbitrary instructions or smash the stack, blatantly violating the high-level abstraction. Other problems arise because today’s languages fail to specify security policies, such as data confidentiality, and the compilation chains thus fail to enforce them, especially against powerful side-channel attacks. The emerging secure compilation community aims to address such problems by identifying precise security goals and attacker models, designing more secure languages, devising efficient enforcement and mitigation mechanisms, and developing effective verification techniques for secure compilation chains. The goal of this workshop is to identify interesting research directions and open challenges and to bring together researchers interested in working on building secure compilation chains, on developing proof techniques and verification tools, and on designing software or hardware enforcement mechanisms for secure compilation. 8th Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC 2024) ============================================================= The Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC) is an 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 8th edition of PriSC will be held on January 20, 2024 in London, United Kingdom together with the ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL) 2024. Important Dates =============== * Thu 02 Nov 2023: Submission Deadline * Thu 07 Dec 2023: Acceptance Notification * Sat 20 Jan 2024: 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 included). 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://popl24.sigplan.org/home/prisc-2024 For questions please contact the workshop chairs, Marco Patrignani and Shweta Shinde.

COST Action CA20111 EuroProofNet Open call for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) and Inclusive Target Conference Grants (ITCGs) Dear Action members, The next deadline for STSM and ITCG proposals is: 12th November 2023 *What is an STSM?* A Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) is a research visit of an individual researcher from a country participating in the Action in a different country also participating in the Action. We encourage STSMs, as they are an effective way of starting and maintaining research collaborations. *What is an ITC conference grant?* ITC Conference Grants are given to young (<= 40 years old) researchers affiliated in an Inclusiveness Target Country or Near Neighbour Country to present a work related to EuroProofNet in a high-level conference fully organized by a third party, i.e. not organized nor co-organized by EuroProofNet. Reimbursement rules are the same as for STSMs. We are especially looking for applications from Inclusiveness Target Countries. STSM and ITCG proposals should be between December 1st and June 30. Find all the details concerning application on https://europroofnet.github.io/grants/ Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

CFP, PEPM 2024 ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation
by Meng Wang 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

Dear Haskellers, Gabriele and I are organising PEPM this year. Over the years, PEPM has grown into a conference of general PL topics and Haskell/FP is strongly represented. We look forward to receiving your submissions. Best regards, Gabriele Keller (Utrecht University, Netherlands) Meng Wang (University of Bristol, UK) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** ** PEPM at POPL 2024 ** Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION ** 16th of January 2024, London, United Kingdom ** ** Submission Deadline: ** 18 October 2023 ** ** https://popl24.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2024 ** https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pepm24 ** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2024 =============================================================================== * Website : https://popl24.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2024 * Time : 16th January 2024 * Place : London, United Kingdom (co-located with POPL 2024) 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 2024 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 2024 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, Gabriele Keller (g.k.keller(a)uu.nl<mailto:g.k.keller@uu.nl>) and Meng Wang (meng.wang(a)bristol.ac.uk<mailto:meng.wang@bristol.ac.uk>). Submission categories and guidelines ------------------------------------ Three 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. * Talk Proposals may propose lectures about topics of interest for PEPM, existing work representing relevant contributions, or promising contributions that are not mature enough to be proposed as papers of the other categories. Talk Proposals must not exceed 2 pages. References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices may not necessarily 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 EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pepm24 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 : **Wednesday 18th October 2023 (AoE)** * Author notification : **Wednesday 15th November 2023 (AoE)** * Workshop : **Tuesday 16th January 2024** Best paper award ---------------- PEPM 2024 continues the tradition of a Best Paper award. The winner will be announced at the workshop. Programme committee ------------------- * Chairs: Gabriele Keller (Utrecht University, Netherlands) Meng Wang (University of Bristol, UK)
