=============================================================== APLAS 2014 12th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems http://www.math.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/APLAS2014/ 17-19 November 2014, Singapore CALL FOR PAPERS =============================================================== ================ INVITED SPEAKERS ================ Zhenjiang Hu (NII, Japan) Dexter Kozen (Cornell University, USA) Julien Verlaguet (Facebook, USA) ========== BACKGROUND ========== APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but is an international forum that serves the worldwide programming language community. APLAS is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software (AAFS) founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many researchers from Europe and the USA. Past APLAS symposiums were successfully held in Melbourne ('13), Kyoto ('12), Kenting ('11), Shanghai ('10), Seoul ('09), Bangalore ('08), Singapore ('07), Sydney ('06), Tsukuba ('05), Taipei ('04) and Beijing ('03) after three informal workshops. Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer's LNCS. ====== TOPICS ====== The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues in programming languages and systems. Papers are solicited on topics such as * semantics, logics, foundational theory; * design of languages, type systems and foundational calculi; * domain-specific languages; * compilers, interpreters, abstract machines; * program derivation, synthesis and transformation; * program analysis, verification, model-checking; * logic, constraint, probabilistic and quantum programming; * software security; * concurrency and parallelism; * tools and environments for programming and implementation. Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums. Papers identifying future directions of programming and those addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms are especially welcome. Demonstration of systems and tools in the scope of APLAS are welcome to the System and Tool presentations category. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are welcome to consult with the program chair prior to submission. ========== SUBMISSION ========== We solicit submissions in two categories: *Regular research papers* describing original scientific research results, including tool development and case studies. Regular research papers should not exceed 18 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant. Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. In case of lack of space, proofs, experimental results, or any information supporting the technical results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them. *System and Tool presentations* describing systems or tools that support theory, program construction, reasoning, or program execution in the scope of APLAS. System and Tool presentations are expected to be centered around a demonstration. The paper and the demonstration should identify the novelties of the tools and use motivating examples. System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. Submissions will be judged based on both the papers and the described systems or tools. It is highly desirable that the tools are available on the web. Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2014 Acceptable formats are PostScript or PDF. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be written in English. The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer's LNCS series. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference. ===== DATES ===== Abstracts due: May 26, 2014 (Monday) Submission due: June 2, 2014 (Monday) Notification: August 6, 2014 (Wednesday) Final paper due: September 1, 2014 (Monday) Conference: November 17-19, 2014 (Monday-Wednesday) ========== ORGANIZERS ========== General chair: Wei-Ngan Chin (National University of Singapore) Program chair: Jacques Garrigue (Nagoya University) Program committee: Xiaojuan Cai (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China) James Chapman (Institute of Cybernetics, Estonia) Cristian Gherghina (Singapore University of Technology and Design) Eric Goubault (CEA LIST and Ecole Polytechnique, France) Fei He (Tsinghua University, China) Gerwin Klein (NICTA and UNSW, Australia) Raghavan Komondoor (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore) Paddy Krishnan (Oracle, Australia) Daan Leijen (Microsoft Research, USA) Yasuhiko Minamide (University of Tsukuba, Japan) Shin-Cheng Mu (Academia Sinica, Taiwan) Sungwoo Park (Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea) Julian Rathke (University of Southampton, UK) Sukyoung Ryu (KAIST, Korea) Alexandra Silva (Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands) Martin Sulzmann (Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Germany) Munehiro Takimoto (Tokyo University of Science, Japan) Jan Vitek (Purdue University, USA) Hongwei Xi (Boston University, USA) ======= CONTACT ======= aplas2014 at easychair.org
