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

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
WFLP 2006 - 14th Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming
Facultad de Informatica - Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Madrid, Spain, November 16-17, 2006
http://gpd.sip.ucm.es/fraguas/wflp06/
General
=======
The Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming aims at bringing
together researchers interested in functional programming, (constraint) logic
programming, as well as their integration. It promotes the cross-fertilizing
exchange of ideas and experiences among researches and students from the
different communities interested in the foundations, applications, and
combinations of high-level, declarative programming languages and related areas.
The previous WFLP editions are: WCFLP 2005 (Tallinn, Estonia),
WFLP 2004 (Aachen, Germany), WFLP 2003 (Valencia, Spain),
WFLP 2002 (Grado, Italy), WFLP 2001 (Kiel, Germany),
WFLP 2000 (Benicassim, Spain), WFLP'99 (Grenoble, France),
WFLP'98 (Bad Honnef, Germany), WFLP'97 (Schwarzenberg, Germany),
WFLP'96 (Marburg, Germany), WFLP'95 (Schwarzenberg, Germany),
WFLP'94 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'93 (Rattenberg, Germany),
and WFLP'92 (Karlsruhe, Germany).
Topics
======
WFLP'06 solicits papers in all areas of functional and (constraint) logic
programming, including (but not limited to):
* Language Design: modules and type systems, multi-paradigm languages,
concurrency and distribution, objects
* Foundations: formal semantics, rewriting and narrowing, non-monotonic
reasoning, dynamics, type theory
* Implementation: abstract machines, parallelism, compile-time and run-time
optimizations, interfacing with external languages
* Transformation and Analysis: abstract interpretation, specialization,
partial evaluation, program transformation, meta-programming
* Software Engineering: design patterns, specification, verification and
validation, debugging, test generation
* Integration of Paradigms: integration of declarative programming with
other
paradigms such as imperative, object-oriented, concurrent, and real-time
programming
* Applications: declarative programming in education and industry,
domain-specific languages, visual/graphical user interfaces, embedded
systems, WWW applications, knowledge representation and machine learning,
deductive databases, advanced programming environments and tools
The main focus is on new and original research results but submissions
describing innovative products, prototypes under development or interesting
experiments (e.g., benchmarks) are also encouraged.

Authors are invited to submit an abstract and a list of keywords
not later than July 13, 2006,
and a complete paper (no longer than 14 pages including figures and references)
not later than July 20, 2006.
Style and formatting instructions, as well as the concrete submission procedure
via a web page will be detailed in next call for papers.
Publication
===========
A preprint of the proceedings will be available to the participants during the
workshop. It is planned to publish the proceedings as a special number of
Electronic Notes of Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier) after the workshop,
