-- CALL FOR PAPERS --
ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM)
2018
===============================================================================
* Website : http://popl18.sigplan.org/track/PEPM-2018
* Time : 8th – 9th January 2018
* Place : Los Angeles, CA, US (co-located with POPL 2018)
The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation
(PEPM),
which has a history going back to 1991 and has co-located with POPL every
year
since 2006, originates in the discoveries of practically useful automated
techniques for evaluating programs with only partial input. Over the
years,
the scope of PEPM has expanded to include a variety of research areas
centred
around the theme of semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic
exploitation of treating programs not only as subject to black-box
execution,
but also as data structures that can be generated, analysed, and
transformed
while establishing or maintaining important semantic properties.
Scope
-----
In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2018 welcomes
submissions in new domains, in particular:
* Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and program
optimisation.
* Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed and
concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types, linear types, and
contract specifications.
More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2018 include, but are not
limited
to:
* Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation,
partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active
libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring,
decompilation, and obfuscation.
* Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including
metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific
languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming, staged
computation, and model-driven program generation and transformation.
* Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model
manipulation such as: abstract interpretation, termination checking,
binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems, automated testing
and test case generation.
* Application of the above techniques including case studies of program
manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source) projects and software
development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively
handling realistic applications, benchmarking. Examples of application
domains include legacy program understanding and transformation, DSL
implementations, visual languages and end-user programming, scientific
computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed
and web-based applications, embedded and resource-limited computation, and
security.
This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions
describing new theories and applications related to semantics-based program
manipulation in general. If you have a question as to whether a potential
submission is within the scope of the workshop, please contact the
programme
co-chairs, Fritz Henglein (http://www.diku.dk/~henglein/) and Josh Ko
(https://josh-hs-ko.github.io).
Submission categories and guidelines
------------------------------------
Two kinds of submissions will be accepted: Regular Research Papers and
Short
Papers.
* Regular Research Papers should describe new results, and will be judged
on
originality, correctness, significance, and clarity. Regular research
papers must not exceed 12 pages (excluding bibliography).
* Short Papers may include tool demonstrations and presentations of
exciting
if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial,
and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar. Short papers must
not exceed 6 pages (excluding bibliography).
Both kinds of submissions should be typeset using the two-column
‘sigplan’
sub-format of the new ‘acmart’ format available at:
http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/
and submitted electronically via HotCRP:
https://pepm18.hotcrp.com/
PEPM 2018 will employ lightweight double-blind reviewing according to the
rules
of POPL 2018. Quoting from POPL 2018’s call for papers:
“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 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 the paper more difficult. In particular, 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.”
See POPL 2018’s Submission and Reviewing FAQ page for more information:
http://popl18.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2018-papers#Submission-and-Reviewing-F…
Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the two co-chairs) provided
that there are non-PC co-authors.
Accepted papers will appear in formal proceedings published by ACM, and be
included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of short papers, however, can
ask
for their papers to be left out of the formal proceedings.
At least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the workshop
and
present the work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live
demonstration of the described tool is expected. Suggested topics,
evaluation
criteria, and writing guidelines for both research tool demonstration
papers
will be made available on the PEPM 2018 web site.
Student participants with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant
to
help cover travel expenses and other support. 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
programme, see its web page.
Important dates
---------------
* Paper submission deadline : Friday 6th October 2017 (AoE) (firm)
* Author notification : Saturday 4th November 2017
* Workshop : Monday 8th – Tuesday 9th January 2018
The proceedings will be published 2 weeks pre-conference.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date 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 your conference. The official publication
date
affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
(For
those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital
Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains
the
first day of the conference.)
Best paper award
----------------
PEPM 2018 continues the tradition of a Best Paper award. The winner will
be
announced at the workshop.
