PEPM 2006: Call for Papers -- ACM SIGPLAN 2006 Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation
by John Hatcliff 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

C A L L F O R P A P E R S === P E P M 2006 === ACM SIGPLAN 2006 Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (Affiliated with POPL 2006) http://www.cis.ksu.edu/santos/pepm06 January 9-10, 2006 Charleston, South Carolina The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the areas of program manipulation, partial evaluation, and program generation. PEPM focuses on techniques, supporting theory, tools, and applications of the analysis and manipulation of programs. The 2006 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad interpretation of semantics-based program manipulation. This year, a concerted effort will be made to expand the scope of PEPM significantly beyond the traditionally covered areas of partial evaluation and specialization and include practical applications of program transformations such as refactoring tools, and practical implementation techniques such as rule-based transformation systems. In addition, the scope of PEPM will be broadened to cover manipulation and transformations of program and system representations such as structural and semantic models that occur in the context of model-driven development. In order to reach out to practitioners, a separate category of tool demonstration papers will be solicited. Topics of interest for PEPM'06 include, but are not limited to: * Program and model manipulation techniques such as transformations driven by rules, patterns, or analyses, partial evaluation, specialization, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, aspect weaving, decompilation, and obfuscation. * Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model manipulation such as abstract interpretation, static analysis, binding-time analysis, dynamic analysis, constraint solving, and type systems. * Analysis and transformation for programs/models with advanced features such as objects, generics, ownership types, aspects, reflection, XML type systems, component frameworks, and middleware. * Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including meta-programming, generative programming, model-driven program generation and transformation. * Application of the above techniques including experimental studies, engineering needed for scalability, and benchmarking in a wide variety of domains including source code manipulation, domain-specific language implementations, scientific computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed and web-based applications. We especially encourage papers that break new ground including descriptions of how program/model manipulation tools can be integrated into realistic software development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications, and new areas of application such as rapidly evolving systems, distributed and web-based programming including middleware manipulation, model-driven development, and on-the-fly program adaptation driven by run-time or statistical analysis. Submission Categories, Guidelines, and Proceedings: Regular Research Papers must not exceed 10 pages in ACM Proceedings style. Tool demonstration papers must not exceed 4 pages in ACM Proceedings style, and authors will be expected to present a live demonstration of the described tool at the workshop. Suggested topics, evaluation criteria, and writing guidelines for both research tool demonstration papers will be made available on the PEPM'06 Web-site. Papers should be submitted electronically via the workshop web site. We plan to publish the workshop proceedings in ACM SIGPLAN Notices (with full papers appearing in the ACM Digital Library) and selected papers will be invited for a journal special issue dedicated to PEPM'06. Important Dates: Submission........: October 7, 2005 Apia, 11:59pm, Samoan time (firm deadline, no extensions) Notification......: November 18, 2005 Camera-Ready Paper: December 16, 2005.

Call for Papers - GPCE'06
by Emir Pasalic 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- CALL FOR TECHNICAL PAPERS Fifth International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE'06) http://www.gpce.org/06/ October 22-26, 2006 Portland, Oregon (co-located with OOPSLA'06) Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT. Proceedings to be published by ACM Press. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- IMPORTANT DATES * Pre-submission: April 30, 2006 * Submission: May 5, 2006, 23:59, Apia time (firm deadline, no extensions) * Notification: June 28, 2005 SCOPE Generative and component approaches are revolutionizing software development similar to how automation and components revolutionized manufacturing. Generative Programming (developing programs that synthesize other programs), Component Engineering (raising the level of modularization and analysis in application design), and Domain-Specific Languages (elevating program specifications to compact domain-specific notations that are easier to write, maintain, and analyze) are key technologies for automating program development. GPCE provides a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in foundational techniques for enhancing the productivity, quality, and time-to-market in software development that stems from deploying standard componentry and automating program generation. In addition to exploring cutting-edge techniques for developing generative and component-based software, our goal is to foster further cross-fertilization between the software engineering research community and the programming languages community. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- SUBMISSIONS 10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls) reporting research results and/or experience related to the topics above (PC co-chairs can advise on appropriateness). We particularly encourage original high-quality reports on applying GPCE technologies to real-world problems, relating ideas and concepts from several topics, or bridging the gap between theory and practice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- TOPICS GPCE seeks contributions in software engineering and in programming languages related (but not limited) to: * Generative programming Reuse, meta-programming, partial evaluation, multi-stage and multi-level languages, and step-wise refinement Semantics, type systems, symbolic computation, linking and explicit substitution, in-lining and macros, templates, and program transformation Runtime code generation, compilation, active libraries, synthesis from specifications, development methods, generation of non-code artifacts, formal methods, and reflection * Generative techniques for Product-line architectures Distributed, real-time and embedded systems Model-driven development and architecture * Component-based software engineering Reuse, distributed platforms and middleware, distributed systems, evolution, patterns, development methods, deployment and configuration techniques, and formal methods * Integration of generative and component-based approaches * Domain engineering and domain analysis Domain-specific languages (DSLs) including visual and UML-based DSLs * Separation of concerns Aspect-oriented and feature-oriented programming, Intentional programming and multi-dimensional separation of concerns * Industrial applications Reports on applications of these techniques to real-world problems are especially encouraged, as are submissions that relate ideas and concepts from several of these topics, or bridge the gap between theory and practice. The program committee is happy to advise on the appropriateness of a particular subject. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- General Chair Stanislaw Jarzabek (National University of Singapore, Singapore) Program Committee Program Chairs: Douglas Schmidt (Vanderbilt University, USA) Todd Veldhuizen (Indiana University, USA) Program Committee Members: Giuseppe Attardi (University of Pisa, Italy) Elisa Baniassad (Chinese University of Hong Kong, China) Don Batory (University of Texas at Austin, USA) Ira Baxter (Semantic Designs, USA) Shigeru Chiba (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) Charles Consel (INRIA/LaBRI, France) Krzysztof Czarnecki (University of Waterloo, Canada) Aniruddha Gokhale (Vanderbilt University, USA) Jeff Gray (U. of Alabama Birmingham, USA) George Heineman (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA) Zhenjiang Hu (University of Tokyo, Japan) H.-Arno Jacobsen (University of Toronto, Canada) Oleg Kiselyov (FNMOC, USA) Fabio Kon (University of São Paolo, Brazil) Karl Lieberherr (Northeastern University, USA) Joe Loyall (BBN Technologies, USA) Mira Mezini (Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany) Torben Æ.
