-------------------------------- Call for papers: Special Issue of JLAMP for PLACES (Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency and Communication-cEntric Software) -------------------------------- Submission deadline: July 29th 2016 -------------------------------- http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-logical-and-algebraic-methods-in... -------------------------------- This special issue of the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming (JLAMP) is devoted to the topics of the 9th International Workshop on Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency and Communication-cEntric Software (PLACES 2016), which took place in April 2016 in Eindhoven as part of ETAPS. This is however an *open call* for papers, therefore both participants of the workshop and other authors are encouraged to submit their contributions. Themes: Modern hardware platforms, from the very small to the very large, increasingly provide parallel computing resources for applications to maximise performance. Many applications therefore need to make effective use of tens, hundreds, and even thousands of compute nodes. Computation in such systems is thus inherently concurrent and communication centric. Effectively programming such applications is challenging; performance, correctness, and scalability are difficult to achieve. Submissions are invited in the area of programming language approaches to concurrency, communication and distribution, ranging from foundational issues, through language implementations, to applications (such as scientific computing) and case studies. Please visit the above website for more detailed topics of interest. Submission: We expect original articles (roughly 20-30 pages) that present high-quality contributions that have not been previously published in another journal and that must not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Longer papers will be considered if there is a clear justification for why additional pages are necessary; authors should contact the guest editors to discuss this. Each paper will undergo a thorough evaluation by at least two reviewers. The authors will have about one month to incorporate the comments of the reviewers and submit a revised version of their papers, which will be evaluated again by the reviewers to make a final decision. Contributions should be typeset in PDF format and must comply with JLAMP's author guidelines (see website for details). Submission deadline: 29th July 2016 Final decision due in: Jan 2017 (planned) Guest Editors: Dominic Orchard, University of Cambridge, dominic.orchard@cl.cam.ac.uk Nobuko Yoshida, Imperial College London, UK, n.yoshida@imperial.ac.uk
