---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION HOPE 2014 The 3rd ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Higher-Order Programming with Effects August 31, 2014 Gothenburg, Sweden (the day before ICFP 2014) https://www.mpi-sws.org/~neelk/hope2014/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HOPE 2014 aims at bringing together researchers interested in the design, semantics, implementation, and verification of higher-order effectful programs. It will be *informal*, consisting of invited talks, contributed talks on work in progress, and open-ended discussion sessions. ------------ Registration ------------ Deadline for early registration: 3 August 2014 Web site: https://regmaster4.com/2014conf/ICFP14/register.php This is the registration site for ICFP 2014 and all the affiliated workshops including HOPE 2014. ------------ Invited Talk ------------ Title: Verifying Security Properties of SES Programs Speaker: Philippa Gardner, Imperial College London ---------------------- List of Accepted Talks ---------------------- (1) Stevan Andjelkovic.

From stateful to stackful computation --------------------- Goals of the Workshop --------------------- A recurring theme in many papers at ICFP, and in the research of many ICFP attendees, is the interaction of higher-order programming with various kinds of effects: storage effects, I/O, control effects, concurrency, etc. While effects are of critical importance in many applications, they also make it hard to build, maintain, and reason about one's code. Higher-order languages (both functional and object-oriented) provide a variety of abstraction mechanisms to help "tame" or "encapsulate" effects (e.g. monads, ADTs, ownership types, typestate, first-class events, transactions, Hoare Type Theory, session types, substructural and region-based type systems), and a number of different semantic models and verification technologies have been developed in order to codify and exploit the benefits of this encapsulation (e.g. bisimulations, step-indexed Kripke logical relations, higher-order separation logic, game semantics, various modal logics). But there remain many open problems, and the field is highly active. The goal of the HOPE workshop is to bring researchers from a variety of different backgrounds and perspectives together to exchange new and exciting ideas concerning the design, semantics, implementation, and verification of higher-order effectful programs. We want HOPE to be as informal and interactive as possible. The program will thus involve a combination of invited talks, contributed talks about work in progress, and open-ended discussion sessions. There will be no published proceedings, but participants will be invited to submit working documents, talk slides, etc. to be posted on this website. --------------------- Workshop Organization --------------------- Program Co-Chairs: Neel Krishnaswami (University of Birmingham) Hongseok Yang (University of Oxford) Program Committee: Zena Ariola (University of Oregon) Ohad Kammar (University of Cambridge) Ioannis Kassios (ETH Zurich) Naoki Kobayashi (University of Tokyo) Paul Blain Levy (University of Birmingham) Aleks Nanevski (IMDEA) Scott Owens (University of Kent) Sam Staton (Radboud University Nijmegen) Steve Zdancewic (University of Pennsylvania)
