We look forward to receiving your submissions by November 14th, 2022. Best regards, Musard Balliu and Sunjay Cauligi -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLAS 2022 Call for Papers 17th Workshop on Programming Languages and Analysis for Security (PLAS 2022) https://plas2022.github.io/ <https://plas2022.github.io/> Virtual Event December 12, 2022 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates Paper submission: November 14, 2022 (AoE) Author notification: November 30, 2022 Workshop date: December 12, 2022 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLAS provides a forum for exploring and evaluating the use of programming language and program analysis techniques for promoting security in the complete range of software systems, from compilers to machine-learned models and smart contracts. The workshop encourages proposals of new, speculative ideas, evaluations of new or known techniques in practical settings, and discussions of emerging threats and problems. We also host position papers that are radical, forward-looking, and lead to lively and insightful discussions influential to the future research at the intersection of programming languages and security. The scope of PLAS includes, but is not limited to: Language-based techniques for detecting and eliminating side-channel vulnerabilities Programming language techniques and verification applied to security in other domains (e.g. adversarial learning and smart contracts) Software isolation techniques (e.g., SFI and sandboxing) and compiler-based hardening techniques (e.g, secure compilation). Compiler-based security mechanisms (e.g. security type systems) or runtime-based security mechanisms (e.g. inline reference monitors) Techniques for discovering and detecting security vulnerabilities, including program (binary) analysis and fuzzing Automated introduction and/or verification of security enforcement mechanisms Language-based verification of security properties in software, including verification of cryptographic protocols Specifying and enforcing security policies for information flow and access control Model-driven approaches to security Security concerns for Web programming languages Language design for security in new domains such as cloud computing and IoT Applications, case studies, and implementations of these techniques -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite both short papers and long papers. All submissions should be anonymous. For short papers, we especially encourage the submission of position papers that are likely to generate lively discussion as well as short papers covering ongoing and future work. Full papers: There is no page limit on long papers. Papers in this category are expected to have relatively mature content. Papers that present promising preliminary and exploratory work, or recently published work are particularly welcome in this category. Long papers may receive longer talk slots at the workshop than short papers, depending on the number of accepted submissions. Short papers: should be at most 2 pages long, plus as many pages as needed for references. Papers that present radical, open-ended and forward-looking ideas are particularly welcome in this category. Authors submitting papers in this category must prepend the phrase "Short Paper:" to the title of the submitted paper. The workshop has no published workshop proceedings and there is no restriction on paper format other than the page limits stated above. Presenting a paper (either short or long) at the workshop does not preclude submission to or publication in other venues that are before, concurrent, or after the workshop. Papers presented at the workshop will be made available to workshop participants only.

AVailable PhD position in parallel functional programming languages
by Troels Henriksen 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

The section for Programming Languages and the Theory of Computation (PLTC) at the Department of Computer Science invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in the implementation and optimisation of data-parallel functional programming languages. More information: https://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=157471 Start date is (expected to be) January 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. Note that the application deadline is quite soon (20th of October). Modern massively parallel processors such as GPUs are highly efficient, but notoriously difficult and awkward to program for humans, particulary for irregular problems or those with nested structure. At DIKU, we are a small team that researches programming and compilation techniques for making high-performance parallel programming more accessible to non-expert programmers. We conduct applied research with a focus on actual real-world performance on mainstream hardware, and we use the functional array language Futhark and its implementation as our main experimental vessel. The precise research problems to be investigated by the PhD candidate depends on the interests of the candidate, but we are particularly interested in problems such as: * How to efficiently map fully or partially irregular nested parallelism to hardware, while still taking advantage of locality. * The construction of profiling tools that can precisely measure the performance of heavily compiler-transformed code and connect it to the original program, allowing the programmer to understand the high-level performance of their program. * Optimising data layout based on how it is accessed by the program; possibly also taking distributed execution or NUMA behaviour into account. For more information, feel free to contact Troels Henriksen (athas(a)diku.dk)

Request for Nominations to the GHC Steering Committee
by Joachim Breitner 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

Dear Haskell community, the GHC Steering committee is seeking nominations for one or more new members. The committee scrutinizes, nitpicks, improves, weighs and eventually accepts or rejects proposals that extend or change the language supported by GHC and other (public-facing) aspects of GHC. Our processes are described at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals which is also the GitHub repository where proposals are proposed. In particular, please have a look at the bylaws at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/committee.rst We are looking for a member who has the ability * to understand such language extension proposals, * to find holes and missing corner cases in the specifications, * foresee the interaction with other language features and specifications, * comment constructively and improve the proposals, * judge the cost/benefit ratio and * finally come to a justifiable conclusion. We look for committee members who have some of these properties: * have substantial experience in writing Haskell applications or libraries, which they can use to inform judgements about the utility or otherwise of proposed features, * have made active contributions to the Haskell community, for some time, * have expertise in language design and implementation, in either Haskell or related languages, which they can share with us. There is no shortage of people who are eager to get fancy new features into the language, both in the committee and the wider community. But each new feature imposes a cost, to implement, to maintain in perpetuity in GHC's code base, to learn, and to deal with its unexpected interaction with other features. We need to strike a balance, one that encourages innovation (as GHC always has) while still making Haskell attractive for real-world production use and for teaching. We therefore seek a balance of background, expertise, and views on the committee. Membership of the committee gives you the chance to influence the future direction of Haskell, and to serve the Haskell community. The committee’s work requires a small, but non-trivial amount of time, especially when you are assigned a proposal for shepherding. We estimate the workload to be around 2 hours per week, and our process works best if members usually respond to technical emails within 1-2 weeks (within days is even better). Please keep that in mind if your email inbox is already overflowing. To nominate yourself, please send an email to me (as the committee secretary) at mail(a)joachim-breitner.de until February 11th. I will distribute the nominations among the committee, and we will keep the nominations and our deliberations private. On behalf of the committee, Joachim Breitner -- Joachim Breitner mail(a)joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/

[CfP] - DEADLINE EXTENSION - First AIxIA Workshop on Artificial Intelligence For Healthcare HC@AIxIA 2022
by Francesco Calimeri 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

================================================================== ******* DEADLINE EXTENSION: NEW deadline October 23, 2022 ******* ******** AI and HEALTHCARE Working Group Kick-off Meeting ******** ================================================================== ================================================================== First AIxIA Workshop on Artificial Intelligence For Healthcare HC@AIxIA 2022 ================================================================== November 28 - December 2, 2022, University of Udine, Udine, Italy https://sites.google.com/unical.it/hcaixia2022 CO-LOCATED with the 21st International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2022) ================================================================== *** - apologize for multiple postings - *** = Background = In the latest years we have been witnessing the ubiquitous application of Artificial Intelligence in real-world domains; in particular, AI-based solutions significantly changed the game in the field of medicine and healthcare in several respects (research, management, clinical practice). Indeed, applications of AI in the healthcare domain became a major research topics, that attracts cross-disciplinary research groups. Medicine and health care require highly complex decision making to ensure that the trajectory a patient with a disease needs to take for diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and finally outcome is optimal in some sense. As a consequence, researchers have to draw methods from the entire field of AI. On the other hand, healthcare and medicine are built upon a rich and evolving body of knowledge, e.g., concerning the pathophysiology of diseases, molecular, genetic, cytological, and histological characterization of stages of a disease, described by temporal and spatial patterns. Such knowledge can also act as background knowledge to guide machine learning. In order to move towards effective and long-lasting applications of AI in healthcare, it is crucial to elucidate the relationship between what can be expected from AI methods when applied to healthcare problems and the role knowledge of healthcare and clinical medicine can play in developing AI solutions to health-care and clinical problems. = The Workshop = The HX@AIxIA workshop aims at gathering researchers from academia, industry and medical centers for presenting and discussing the latest research results and ongoing works related to the application and impact of AI in the healthcare domain, to the larger extent, thus aiming at covering a wide spectrum of topics, including theoretical and practical aspects, methodologies, technologies, and systems. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Machine learning methods, data mining and statistical methods for clinical decision support - Probabilistic graphical models for clinical decision-making and causal networks - Learning, representation and reasoning with time - Knowledge representation, reasoning and formal argumentation in healthcare: - Machine learning methods, data mining and statistical methods for clinical decision support) - Probabilistic graphical models for clinical decision-making and causal networks - Learning, representation and reasoning with time - Knowledge representation, reasoning and formal argumentation in healthcare - Methods for diagnosis, treatment selection, treatment planning, and prognosis - Monitoring patients in healthcare - Ontologies and medical vocabularies - Personalized medicine - Computer-interpretable clinical guidelines - Support for natural language generation/understanding in connection electronic patient records - Tools for supporting authoring, execution and maintenance of clinical protocols and guidelines - Tools for building and deployment of clinical decision-support systems = Contributions = The workshop will feature presentations of refereed contributions; two types of submissions are invited: - full papers, possibly already submitted to other conferences or journals - short papers, which are particularly suitable for presenting work in progress, software prototypes, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects. In particular, we also invite submissions of systems or prototype software descriptions; systems of both research and industrial character are welcome. Submissions must include a brief description, prepared according to the guidelines given for short papers, and a specification of the required hardware and software equipment. Besides demos, some contributions might be invited to be presented as posters. = Submission Instructions = Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair system at the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcaixia2022 Articles must not exceed 15 pages for full papers and 8 pages for short papers, respectively. Manuscripts should be formatted using the Springer LNCS style. To ease the reviewing process, the authors of regular papers may add an appendix (although reviewers are not required to consider it in their evaluation). All contributions must be written in English. For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors is required to attend the conference and present the paper. The event is organized by AIxIA. = Proceedings and Journal Special Issue = All accepted original contributions (both full and short) will be published on CEUR-WS.org. Non-original communications will be given visibility on the workshop web site, including a link to the original publication, if already published. The organizers are considering the possibility of having workshop post-proceedings appearing in a special issue of an international journal, provided that a sufficient amount of quality papers is collected.

PADL 2023: Final Call for Papers (with updated deadlines!)
by Michael Hanus 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

============================================================================== Call for Papers 25th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2023) https://popl23.sigplan.org/home/PADL-2023 Boston, Massachusetts, United States, January 16-17, 2023 Co-located with ACM POPL 2023 ============================================================================== FINAL DEADLINES: ---------------- Abstract submission: October 12, 2022 (AoE) Paper submission: October 19, 2022 (AoE) 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. Topics 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 2023 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 2023 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 written in English and formatted according to the standard Springer LNCS style, see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their reports. So, for LaTeX, we recommend that authors use: \pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{lineno} \linenumbers The conference proceedings of PADL 2023 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 where it has previously appeared. Papers should be submitted electronically at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=padl2023 Important Dates (UPDATED!) -------------------------- Abstract submission: October 12, 2022 (AoE) Paper submission: October 19, 2022 (AoE) Notification: November 15, 2022 Camera-ready papers: December 1, 2022 Symposium: January 16-17, 2023 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, that will be 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 be substantially (roughly 30%) extended: 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 so on. These submissions will then be subject to the usual peer review process by the journal, although with the aim of a swifter review process by reusing original reviews from PADL.

ProLaLa 2023 -- Programming Languages and the Law (Jan 15th 2023, Boston) : Deadline Oct 27th 2022
by Jonathan Protzenko 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ProLaLa 2023 -- 2nd Workshop on Programming Languages and the Law Sunday Jan 15th, 2022 Boston, MA co-located with POPL 2023 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (please forward to anyone who might be interested!) We are pleased to announce ProLaLa'23, the second edition of the workshop concerned with the intersection of PL (Programming Languages) techniques and the law. We are particularly concerned with the following topics: - language design for legal matters; - static analysis of legal texts; - program synthesis and repair for legal software components; - formal modeling of legal semantics; - non-standard logics in support of legal reasoning; - program verification for legal expert systems. If you have explored any of these areas, we encourage you to submit a short abstract. We are hoping to solidify around this workshop what we believe is a nascent but growing community; last year we had 25 submissions and 60 participants. As such, the workshop will be informal, and we strongly encourage you to submit ongoing or already-published work in the form of a brief 5-page submission for a long talk, or a 2-page submission for a short talk. Full details: https://popl23.sigplan.org/home/prolala-2023#Call-for-Papers <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpopl23.si…> Venue ProLaLa will be colocated with POPL'23. We plan to coordinate with the POPL conference on remote participation. We would like to have remote participation even if the workshop happens in person. Our plan is to create an inclusive environment that does not demand traveling for COVID-19 (or other) reasons. Submission details We accept two kinds of submissions. - Long talks: 5 pages excluding references - Short talks: 2 page excluding references We require using SIGPLAN's one-column LaTeX format (acmsmall). Submission site: https://prolala23.hotcrp.com <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprolala23…> Important dates - Thu 27 Oct 2022: Submission deadline - Thu 10 Nov 2022: Notification of acceptance - Sun 15 Jan 2023: Workshop Program committee - Shrutarshi Basu (co-chair), Middlebury College, USA - Denis Merigoux (co-chair), Inria, France - Jonathan Protzenko (co-chair), Microsoft Research, USA - Timos Antonopoulos, Yale, USA - Joaquín Arias, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain - James Grimmelman, Cornell, USA - Ekaterina Komandantskaya, Herriot-Watts University, UK - Emma Tosch, University of Michigan, USA - Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, University of Texas at El Paso, USA - Giovanni Sileno, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands - Chris Bailey, University of Illinois, USA - Laurence Diver, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium - Sarah Lawsky, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, USA
