Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) 2021: First Call for Papers
by Andrei Popescu 16 Apr '20

16 Apr '20

Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) is an international conference on practical and theoretical topics in all areas that consider formal verification and certification as an essential paradigm for their work. CPP spans areas of computer science, mathematics, logic, and education. CPP 2021 (https://popl21.sigplan.org/home/CPP-2021) will be held on 18-19 January 2021 and will be co-located with POPL 2021. CPP 2021 is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG. NEWS * Due to the COVID-19 situation, it is currently uncertain whether CPP 2021 will be a physical conference in Copenhagen, Denmark or a virtual one. * The submission deadline is one month earlier than usual. IMPORTANT DATES * Abstract Deadline: 16 September 2020 at 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h) * Paper Submission Deadline: 22 September 2020 at 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h) * Notification (tentative): 19 November 2020 * Camera Ready Deadline (tentative): 10 December 2020 * Conference: 18-19 January 2021 Deadlines expire at the end of the day, anywhere on earth. Abstract and submission deadlines are strict and there will be no extensions. TOPICS OF INTEREST We welcome submissions in research areas related to formal certification of programs and proofs. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics of interest to CPP: * certified or certifying programming, compilation, linking, OS kernels, runtime systems, security monitors, and hardware; * certified mathematical libraries and mathematical theorems; * proof assistants (e.g, ACL2, Agda, Coq, Dafny, F*, HOL4, HOL Light, Idris, Isabelle, Lean, Mizar, Nuprl, PVS, etc); * new languages and tools for certified programming; * program analysis, program verification, and program synthesis; * program logics, type systems, and semantics for certified code; * logics for certifying concurrent and distributed systems; * mechanized metatheory, formalized programming language semantics, and logical frameworks; * higher-order logics, dependent type theory, proof theory, logical systems, separation logics, and logics for security; * verification of correctness and security properties; * formally verified blockchains and smart contracts; * certificates for decision procedures, including linear algebra, polynomial systems, SAT, SMT, and unification in algebras of interest; * certificates for semi-decision procedures, including equality, first-order logic, and higher-order unification; * certificates for program termination; * formal models of computation; * mechanized (un)decidability and computational complexity proofs; * formally certified methods for induction and coinduction; * integration of interactive and automated provers; * logical foundations of proof assistants; * applications of AI and machine learning to formal certification; * user interfaces for proof assistants and theorem provers; * teaching mathematics and computer science with proof assistants. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Prior to the paper submission deadline, the authors should upload their anonymized paper in PDF format through the HotCRP system at https://cpp2021.hotcrp.com The submissions must be written in English and provide sufficient detail to allow the program committee to assess the merits of the contribution. They must be formatted following the ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings format using the acmart style with the sigplan option, which provides a two-column style, using 10 point font for the main text, and a header for double blind review submission, i.e., \documentclass[sigplan,10pt,anonymous,review]{acmart}\settopmatter{printfolios=true,printccs=false,printacmref=false} The submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages, including tables and figures, but excluding bibliography and clearly marked appendices. The papers should be self-contained without the appendices. Shorter papers are welcome and will be given equal consideration. Submissions not conforming to the requirements concerning format and maximum length may be rejected without further consideration. CPP 2021 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. To facilitate this, the submissions 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 PC and external reviewers come to an initial judgment 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 it more difficult. In particular, important background references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors are free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their papers as usual. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. POPL has answers to frequently asked questions addressing many common concerns: https://popl20.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2020-Research-Papers#Submission-and-R… We encourage the authors to provide any supplementary material that is required to support the claims made in the paper, such as proof scripts or experimental data. This material must be uploaded at submission time, as an archive, not via a URL. Two forms of supplementary material may be submitted: (1) Anonymous supplementary material is made available to the reviewers before they submit their first-draft reviews. (2) Non-anonymous supplementary material is made available to the reviewers after they have submitted their first-draft reviews and have learned the identity of the authors. Please use anonymous supplementary material whenever possible, so that it can be taken into account from the beginning of the reviewing process. The submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy ( https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) and the ACM Policy on Plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism) Concurrent submissions to other conferences, journals, workshops with proceedings, or similar forums of publication are not allowed. The PC chairs should be informed of closely related work submitted to a conference or journal in advance of submission. One author of each accepted paper is expected to present it at the (possibly virtual) conference. PUBLICATION, COPYRIGHT AND OPEN ACCESS The CPP proceedings will be published by the ACM, and authors of accepted papers will be required to choose one of the following publication options: (1) Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive permission-to-publish license and, optionally, licenses the work under a Creative Commons license. (2) Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive permission-to-publish license. (3) Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM. For authors who can afford it, we recommend option (1), which will make the paper Gold Open Access, and also encourage such authors to license their work under the CC-BY license. ACM will charge you an article processing fee for this option (currently, US$700), which you have to pay directly with the ACM. For everyone else, we recommend option (2), which is free and allows you to achieve Green Open Access, by uploading a preprint of your paper to a repository that guarantees permanent archival such as arXiv or HAL. This is anyway a good idea for timely dissemination even if you chose option 1. Ensuring timely dissemination is particularly important for this edition, since, because of the very tight schedule, the official proceedings might not be available in time for CPP. The official CPP 2021 proceedings will also be available via SIGPLAN OpenTOC (http://www.sigplan.org/OpenTOC/#cpp) For ACM’s take on this, see their Copyright Policy ( http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy) and Author Rights (http://authors.acm.org/main.html) PROGRAM COMMITTEE Cătălin Hriţcu, Inria Paris, France (co-chair) Andrei Popescu, Middlesex University London, UK (co-chair) Reynald Affeldt, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan June Andronick, CSIRO's Data61 and UNSW, Australia Arthur Azevedo de Amorim, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Joachim Breitner, DFINITY Foundation, Germany Jesper Cockx, TU Delft, Netherlands Cyril Cohen, Université Côte d’Azur, Inria, France Nils Anders Danielsson, University of Gothenburg / Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Brijesh Dongol, University of Surrey, UK Floris van Doorn, University of Pittsburgh, USA Yannick Forster, Saarland University, Germany Shilpi Goel, Centaur Technology, Inc., USA Chung-Kil Hur, Seoul National University, South Korea Moa Johansson, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Heriot-Watt University, UK Angeliki Koutsoukou-Argyraki, University of Cambridge, UK Robert Y.

Haskell Symposium 2020 -- Call for Papers: Regular track & demos
by Tom Schrijvers 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

================================================================================ ACM SIGPLAN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Haskell Symposium 2020 New Jersey, United States 27--28 August, 2020 http://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2020/ ================================================================================ The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2020 will be co-located with the 2020 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). Like last year, we will be using a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. See further information below. The Haskell Symposium presents original research on Haskell, discusses practical experience and future development of the language, and promotes other forms of declarative 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, implementers, 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. 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 It is recommended to use the `review` option when submitting a paper; this option enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews. Functional pearls, experience reports, and demo proposals should be labelled clearly as such. Lightweight Double-blind Reviewing ---------------------------------- Haskell Symposium 2020 will use a lightweight 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 an initial judgment 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. A reviewer will learn the identity of the author(s) of a paper after a review is submitted. 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. In all cases, the list of references is not counted against these page limits. Deadlines --------- Early track: Submission deadline: 20 March 2020 (Fri) Notification: 24 April 2020 (Fri) Regular track and demos: Submission deadline: 15 May 2020 (Fri) Notification: 26 June 2020 (Fri) Deadlines are valid anywhere on Earth. Submission ---------- Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy (http://sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) and authors should be aware of ACM's policies on plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism) Program Committee members are allowed to submit papers, but their papers will be held to a higher standard. 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 HotCRP at: https://haskell20.hotcrp.com/ Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the submission deadline using the same web interface. Supplementary material: Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material should not be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it should be uploaded as a separate PDF document or tarball. Supplementary material should be uploaded at submission time, not by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository. Authors are free to upload both anonymized and non-anonymized supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s). Resubmitted Papers: Authors who submit a revised version of a paper that has previously been rejected by another conference have the option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to see how his/her comments have been addressed, the principal editor will communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of the previous reviews. 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. Their authors will be required to choose one of the following options: - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive permission-to-publish license (and, optionally, licenses the work with a Creative Commons license); - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive permssion-to-publish license; - Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM. For more information, please see ACM Copyright Policy (http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy) and ACM Author Rights (http://authors.acm.org/main.html) Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the symposium website but not formally published in the proceedings. 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. Artifacts ========= Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make auxiliary material (artifacts like source code, test data, etc.) available with their paper. They can opt to have these artifacts published alongside their paper in the ACM Digital Library (copyright of artifacts remains with the authors). If an accepted paper's artifacts are made permanently available for retrieval in a publicly accessible archival repository like the ACM Digital Library, that paper qualifies for an Artifacts Available badge (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging#available ). Applications for such a badge can be made after paper acceptance and will be reviewed by the PC chair.

Two PhD positions in Utrecht
by Wouter Swierstra 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

============================================================== Two PhD positions in functional programming ============================================================== The Department of Information and Computing Sciences at Utrecht University is currently advertising two PhD positions in Functional Programming. The candidates will join the Intelligent Systems group, working with Johan Jeuring, Gabriele Keller, and Wouter Swierstra. Besides research, the successful candidate will be expected to help supervise MSc students and assist in the teaching of courses. The positions should be filled by September 2020, although the exact starting date is negotiable. --------------------------------- Research topics --------------------------------- These two positions are tied to two specific topics. * Programming tutors for Functional Languages (Johan Jeuring) The focus of the position is on designing new technologies to support students working in an intelligent tutoring system for functional programming. We expect to use techniques from dependently typed programming, refinement types, program synthesis, automated theorem proving, and more to analyse student programs, and to help students in taking the next step when developing a program. The candidate will investigate the design and use of multiple technologies for this purpose, add them to Ask-Elle, our intelligent tutoring system, perform experiments with the system, and improve the technologies based on the outcome of the experiments. * Compiler verification for a smart contract language (Wouter Swierstra & Gabriele Keller) This project aims to develop a certifying compiler for Plutus Tx, a subset of the purely functional language Haskell that is used to implement smart contracts for the Cardano blockchain. The Plutus smart contract framework is being developed by IOHK for Cardano and the present project is a joint effort of IOHK and Utrecht University. The Plutus Tx compiler is based on the GHC Haskell compiler and adds a translation step from GHC Core to a minimal lambda calculus. Programs in this lambda calculus are executed during transaction validation in a sandboxed execution environment in a manner that is crucial to the security of the blockchain. This project aims to formalise the semantics of the languages involved, to reason about the transformation and optimisation steps that the compiler performs, and finally, to generate a proof object certifying the correctness of the generated code together with that code. --------------------------------- What we are looking for --------------------------------- The ideal candidates should have a degree in Computer Science, be highly motivated, speak and write English well, and be proficient in producing scientific reports. Furthermore, candidates should be able to demonstrate experience with functional programming languages, such as Haskell, OCaml, ML, Agda, Idris, or Coq. --------------------------------- What we offer --------------------------------- The candidates are offered a full-time position for four or five years, depending on the teaching load. The gross salary ranges between €2,325 in the first year and €2,972 in the fourth year per month for full-time employment. A part-time position of at least 0.8 fte may also be possible. The salary is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% per year. The position also includes a generous allocation of fully-paid vacation days. In addition we offer: a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave, and flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities. The research group will provide the candidate with necessary support on all aspects of the project. More information is available on the website: Terms and employment: http://bit.ly/1elqpM7 Utrecht is consistently ranked as one of the best places in the world to live. --------------------------------- How to apply --------------------------------- To apply please attach a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, and (email) addresses of two referees. Make sure to also include a transcript of the courses you have followed (at bachelor and master level), with the grades you obtained, and to include a sample of your scientific writing, such as your MSc or BSc thesis. It is possible to apply for this position if you are close to obtaining your undergraduate degree. In that case include a letter of your supervisor with an estimate of your progress, and do not forget to include at least a sample of your technical writing skills. The application deadline for the first position closes on April 29th. You can apply through the University's website: https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/5-year… The application for the second position is not yet open -- but feel free to contact me directly if you're interested. If you're still unsure about the topic, feel free to apply using the link above; we're happy to discuss which topic fits your interests best during the application process.
