  COORDINATION 2017

  19th IFIP International Conference on
  Coordination Models and Languages



* Scope *

Modern information systems rely increasingly on combining concurrent,
distributed, mobile, adaptive, reconfigurable and heterogeneous
components. New models, architectures, languages and verification
techniques are necessary to cope with the complexity induced by the
demands of today's software development. Coordination languages have
emerged as a successful approach, in that they provide abstractions that
cleanly separate behaviour from communication, therefore increasing
modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software
development.

Building on the success of the previous editions, this conference
provides a well-established forum for the growing community of
researchers interested in models, languages, architectures, and
implementation techniques for coordination.

Topics of interest encompass all areas of coordination, including (but
not limited to) coordination related aspects of:
- Theoretical models and foundations for coordination: component
  composition, concurrency, mobility, dynamic, spatial and probabilistic
  aspects of coordination, emergent behaviour, types, semantics;
- Specification, refinement, and analysis of architectures: patterns and
  styles, verification of functional and non-functional properties,
  including performance aspects;
- Coordination, architectural, and interface definition languages:
  implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity;
- Middlewares and coordination;
- Dynamic software architectures: distributed mobile code,
  configuration, reconfiguration, networked computing, parallel,
  high-performance and cloud computing;
- Nature- and bio-inspired approaches to coordination;
- Coordination of multiagent and collective systems: models, languages,
  infrastructures, self-adaptation, self-organisation, distributed
  solving, collective intelligence and emerging behaviour;
- Coordination and modern distributed computing: Web services,
  peer-to-peer networks, grid computing, context-awareness, ubiquitous
  computing, mobile computing;
- Programming languages, middleware, tools, and environments for the
  development of coordinated applications;
- Programming methodologies and verification of coordinated
  applications;
- Industrial relevance of coordination and software architectures:
  programming in the large, domain-specific software architectures and
  coordination models, case studies;
- Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination.

* Program Committee Chairs *

- Jean-Marie Jacquet, University of Namur, Belgium

     Elena Giachino, University of Bologna/INRIA, Italy

Scope
=
Component-based software development is a paradigm that has been
proposing sound engineering principles and techniques for coping with
the complexity of software-intensive systems. However, many
challenging conceptual and technological issues remain that require
further research.
Moreover, the advent of service-oriented and cloud computing has
brought to the fore new dimensions, such as quality of service and
robustness to withstand inevitable faults, which require established
concepts to be revisited and new ones to be developed in order to meet
the opportunities offered by those architectures. As software
applications become themselves components of wider socio-technical
systems, further challenges arise from the need to create and manage
interactions, which can evolve in time and space, and rely on the use
of resources that can change in non-computable ways.
FACS 2014 is concerned with how formal methods can be used to make
component-based development fit for the new architectures of today
and the systems that are now pervading the socio-economic
world.
Formal methods have provided foundations for component-based
software through research on mathematical models for components,
composition and adaptation, and rigorous approaches to verification,
deployment, testing, and certification. Whilst those avenues still
need to be further explored, time is also ripe to bring new techniques to
the fore, such as those based on stochastic models and simulation.

Topics of Interest
==
The symposium seeks to address the development and
application of formal methods in all aspects of software
components and services. Specific topics include, but are not
limited to:

 - formal models for software components and their interaction
 - formal aspects of services, service oriented architectures,
business processes, cloud computing, ensembles, or similar programming 
artifacts

 - design and verification methods for software components and
services
 - composition and deployment: models, calculi, languages
 - formal methods and modeling languages for components and services
 - model based and GUI based testing of components and services
 - models for QoS and other extra-functional properties (e.g., trust,
compliance, security) of components and services
 - components for real-time, safety-critical, secure, and/or embedded
systems
 - stochastic techniques for modelling and verification
 - simulation techniques for complex networks of interacting
components
 - industrial or experience reports, and case studies
 - update and reconfiguration of component and service architectures
 - component systems evolution and maintenance

[TYPES/announce] Postdoc position on Reversible computing

2014-03-10 Thread Ivan Lanese
[ The Types Forum (announcements only),
 http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]


Call for PostDocs

The ANR REVER project is seeking applicants for two 1-year
post-doctoral research positions. The work will be done either at the
Spades team at INRIA Grenoble, at the Focus team at University of
Bologna (joint team with INRIA Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée) or at
the PPS laboratory at the University of Paris Denis Diderot.  The
REVER project aims at facilitating the programming of recoverable
systems, i.e. of systems that can tolerate faults by means of system
recovery techniques, using reversible computing.  More precisely, the
REVER project aims to study the possibility of defining semantically
well-founded and composable abstractions for dependable computing on
the basis of a reversible programming language substrate, where
reversibility means the ability to undo any distributed program
execution, possibly step by step, and to revert it to a state
consistent with the past execution.

See
http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jkrivine/ANR/REVER/ANR_REVER/Welcome.html
for more information on the REVER project.

The successful applicants will be expected to contribute to this
research effort, which will include both semantic foundations,
programming abstractions, and practical implementations.

Requirements for application:
* Ph.D. in Computer Science (completed or near completion)
* A research background on concurrency theory, programming language
semantics, programming language implementation, or distributed algorithms.

Application procedure:

* To apply send a curriculum, a publication record and a statement of
  interest via e-mail to Prof. Jean-Bernard Stefani

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers. Submission
of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed. Peer groups with
expertise in the track focus area will double-blindly review
submissions. Accepted papers will be published in the annual
conference proceedings. SOAP track chairs will not submit to the
track. Submissions from SOAP PC members and from PC members and track
chairs of other SAC tracks are welcome. Submission guidelines
can be found on SAC 2013 Website:

http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2013/

Prospective papers should be submitted to the track using the provided
automated submission system. Please pay attention to ensure anonimity
of your submitted manuscript as detailed in the submission page so to
allow for double-blind review. Papers not satisfying this constraint
will be automatically rejected. The maximum length for papers is 8
pages. Accepted papers whose camera-ready version will exceed 6 pages
will have to pay an extra charge.  For each accepted paper, an author
or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement
for the paper to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library.

SPECIAL ISSUE

Authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended and
revised version of their work to a special issue of Science of
Computer Programming.

STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION PROGRAM

Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts (minimum of
2-page and maximum of 4-page) following the instructions published at
SAC 2013 website. Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks
is not allowed. All research abstract submissions will be reviewed by
researchers and practitioners with expertise in the track focus area
to which they are submitted. Authors of selected abstracts will have
the opportunity to give poster presentations of their work and compete
for three top-winning places. The Student Research Competition
committee will evaluate and select First-, Second-, and Third- place
winners. The winners will receive cash awards and SIGAPP recognition
certificates during the conference banquet. Authors of selected
abstracts are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP Student Travel Award
program for support.

[TYPES/announce] REVER Call for Ph.D. and post-doc

2012-03-02 Thread Ivan Lanese
[ The Types Forum (announcements only),
 http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]


Call for PostDoc and Ph.D.

The ANR REVER project is seeking applicants for both a PhD student
position and a 2-year post-doctoral research position. The work will
be done either inside the Sardes team at INRIA Grenoble or inside the
Focus team at University of Bologna (joint team with INRIA Sophia
Antipolis Méditerranée). The REVER project aims at facilitating the
programming of recoverable systems, i.e. of systems that can tolerate
faults by means of system recovery techniques. More precisely, the
REVER project aims to study the possibility of defining semantically
well-founded and composable abstractions for dependable computing on
the basis of a reversible programming language substrate, where
reversibility means the ability to undo any distributed program
execution, possibly step by step, and to revert it to a state
consistent with the past execution.

See http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jkrivine/REVER/ANR_REVER/Welcome.html for
more information on the REVER project.

The successful applicants will be expected to contribute to this
research effort, which will include both semantic foundations,
programming abstractions, and practical implementations.

Requirements for Ph.D. application:
* Master Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field

Requirements for PostDoc application:
* Ph.D. in Computer Science (completed or near completion)
* A research background on concurrency theory, programming language
semantics, or distributed algorithms.

For both the positions:

* To apply send a curriculum, a publication record and a statement of
  interest via e-mail to Prof. Jean-Bernard Stefani
  jean-bernard.stef...@inria.fr and Dr. Ivan Lanese
  lan...@cs.unibo.it

* Deadline: April 15, 2012
