[TYPES/announce] CFP: Foundations of Aspect-Oriented Languages (FOAL) 2013
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] *** CALL FOR PAPERS: Foundations of Aspect-Oriented Languages *** FOAL is a one day workshop affiliated with MODULARITY: aosd 2013 conference in the Fukuoka International Congress Center, Japan, on March 26, 2013. Papers are due January 7, 2013, at 23:00 GMT. Themes and Goals FOAL is a forum for research in foundations of aspect-oriented and other advanced separation of concern mechanisms. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: * Semantics of advanced separation of concern mechanisms * Specification and verification for languages with such mechanisms * Type systems * Static analysis * Theory of testing * Theory of composition * Theory of translation (compilation) and rewriting * Comparison of different advanced modularization and separation of concern mechanisms The workshop aims to foster work in foundations, including formal studies, promote the exchange of ideas, and encourage workers in the semantics and formal methods communities to consider advanced separation of concern mechanisms. All theoretical and foundational studies of this topic are welcome. Even though the workshop title contains the term aspect-oriented, the workshop is not limited to aspect-oriented programming languages, but welcomes topics on other advanced separation of concern mechanisms such as feature-oriented or context-oriented programming. The goals of FOAL are to: * Make progress on the foundations of aspect-oriented and other advanced separation of concern mechanisms. * Exchange ideas about semantics and formal methods for aspect-oriented and other languages with advanced separation of concerns. * Foster interest within the programming language theory and types communities in languages with advanced separation of concerns. * Foster interest within the formal methods community in aspect-oriented programming and other advanced separation of concern mechanisms, and the problems of reasoning about them. Workshop Format The planned workshop format is primarily presentation of papers and group discussion. Talks will come in two categories: regular (25 minutes plus 5 minutes of discussion) and short (7 minutes plus 3 minutes of discussion). The short talks will allow for presentations of topics for which results are not yet available, perhaps for researchers who are seeking feedback on ideas or seek collaborations. We also plan to ensure sufficient time for discussion of each presentation by limiting the overall number of talks. Submissions Invitation to the workshop will be based on papers selected by the program committee; those wishing to attend but not having a paper to submit should contact the organizers directly to see if there is sufficient space in the workshop. FOAL solicits regular and short papers on all areas of formal foundations of advanced separation of concern mechanisms. Submissions will be read by the program committee and designated reviewers. Papers will be selected for regular and short presentation at the workshop based on their length, scientific merit, innovation, readability, and relevance. Papers previously published or already being reviewed by another conference are not eligible. Some papers may not be selected for presentation, and some may be selected for presentation in shorter talks than their paper length would otherwise command. We will limit the length of paper presentations and the number of papers presented to make sure that there is enough time for discussion. Five page papers presented at the workshop can be included in the ACM Digital Library, at the discretion of the authors. Authors of accepted papers who wish to have their papers in the ACM Digital Library will be asked to transfer copyright to the ACM. However, as FOAL is a workshop, publication of extended versions of the papers in other venues will remain possible. We will also investigate having a special issue of a journal for revisions of selected papers after the workshop. Authors should note the following details: * Submissions are due no later than 23:00 GMT, 7 January 2013 * Regular papers must not exceed 5 pages in length, and short papers must not exceed 3 pages in length * We encourage use of the ACM Conference format for submissions, as this will be required for accepted papers * You must add page numbers (which are not part of the standard format) to your submissions, to make adding comments easier * Submissions are to be made at the following URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=foal2013 We will notify the corresponding author of papers that are selected for presentation at the workshop by 28 January 2013. Early registration for MODULARITY: aosd (you must register for the conference to attend the workshop) shortly follows that date. Final versions of 5 page papers for
