皆様、（重複して受け取られた場合はどうぞご容赦ください。）京都大学の末永幸平と申します。来年の1月23〜24日にPOPL'12と併設で開催される PEPM'12のCFPをお送りいたします。論文投稿の締切は今年の10月10日です。レギュラー論文の他にツールのデモや萌芽的な話題のためのショート論文も受け付けております。どうぞ投稿をご検討ください。末永幸平 ksuenaga(a)sato.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM SIGPLAN 2012 Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation January 23-24, 2012. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA (co-located with POPL'12) Call For Papers http://www.program-transformation.org/PEPM12 The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the broad area of principled program transformation, which spans from refactoring, partial evaluation, supercompilation, fusion and other metaprogramming to model-driven development, program analyses including termination, inductive programming, program generation and applications of machine learning and probabilistic search. PEPM focuses on techniques, supporting theory, tools, and applications of the analysis and manipulation of programs. Each technique or tool of program manipulation should have a clear, although perhaps informal, statement of desired properties, along with an argument how these properties could be achieved. Topics of interest for PEPM'12 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. - 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. - 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. - 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, resource-limited computation, and security. To maintain the dynamic and interactive nature of PEPM, we will continue the category of `short papers' for tool demonstrations and for presentations of exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar. Student attendants with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses and other support. All accepted papers, short papers included, will appear in formal proceedings published by ACM Press. In addition to printed proceedings, accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Selected papers may later on be invited for a journal special issue dedicated to PEPM'12. The SIGPLAN Republication Policy and ACM's Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism apply. Submission Categories and Guidelines Authors are strongly encouraged to consult the advice for authoring research papers and tool papers before submitting. The PC Chairs welcome any inquiries about the authoring advice. Regular research papers must not exceed 10 pages in ACM Proceedings style. Short papers are up to 4 pages in ACM Proceedings style. Authors of tool demonstration proposals are expected to present a live demonstration of the described tool at the workshop (tool papers should include an additional appendix of up to 6 extra pages giving the outline, screenshots, examples, etc. to indicate the content of the proposed live demo at the workshop). Important Dates - Paper submission: Mon, October 10, 2011, 23:59, GMT - Author notification: Tue, November 8, 2011 - Workshop: Mon-Tue, January 23-24, 2012 Invited Speakers TBD Program Chairs - Oleg Kiselyov (Monterey, CA, USA) - Simon Thompson (University of Kent, UK) Program Committee Members - Emilie Balland (INRIA, France) - Ewen Denney (NASA Ames Research Center, USA) - Martin Erwig (Oregon State University, USA) - Sebastian Fischer (National Institute of Informatics, Japan) - Lidia Fuentes (Universidad de Malaga, Spain) - John Gallagher (Roskilde University, Denmark and IMDEA Software, Spain) - Dave Herman (Mozilla Labs) - Stefan Holdermans (Vector Fabrics, the Netherlands) - Christian Kaestner (University of Marburg, Germany) - Emanuel Kitzelmann (International Computer Science Institute, USA) - Andrei Klimov (Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences) - Shin-Cheng Mu (Academia Sinica, Taiwan) - Alberto Pardo (Universidad de la Repu'blica, Uruguay) - Kostis Sagonas (Uppsala University, Sweden and National Technical University of Athens, Greece) - Anthony M.

CfP: Non-classical Modal and Predicate Logics, Guangzhou, December 2011
by info＠mathfuzzlog.org 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

(Apologies for multiple copies) Call for papers *** Non-classical Modal and Predicate Logics *** Guangzhou (Canton), China, 5-9 December 2011 http://logic.sysu.edu.cn/ncmpl2011 Modalities and predicates have since ancient time been central notions of logic. In the 20th century, various systems of non-classical logics have emerged, with applications in many disciplines like Computer Science, Linguistics, Mathematics, and Philosophy. This gave rise to the questions of non-classical treatment of quantification and modalities and their accommodation in these non-classical logics. In response, various modal and predicate variants of non-classical logics have been introduced and studied in the past decades. Although there are many good conferences on (mainly propositional) non-classical logics, this conference is one solely dedictated to modal and predicate non-classical logics. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from various branches of non-classical logics, not only to present recent advances in their particular fields, but also to identify common problems and methods and foster the exchange of ideas between researchers from separate fields. Topics of interest: * The study of first- or higher-order variants of non-classical logics, including, but not limited to: - Predicate intuitionistic and superintuitionistic logics - Predicate modal logics - Predicate substructural logics - Predicate many-valued and partial logics - Predicate paraconsistent logics - Predicate non-monotonic logics, etc. * Non-classical theories of quantification over classical logic, such as: - Free logics - Branching quantifiers and IF-logic - Generalized quantifiers * Extensions by modalities of (propositional or predicate) non-classical logics, including: - Modal extensions of (super)intuitionistic, substructural, many-valued, paraconsistent, non-monotonic, etc., logics - Co-algebraic treatment of modalities We accept both purely theoretical works on the above logics coming from all branches of mathematical logic (proof-theory, model theory, game theory, computational complexity, etc.), as well as their application in the foundation of mathematics (non-classical mathematics), computer science, linguistics, philosophy, etc. Strong papers on propositional logics can also be accepted, provided they relate to the themes in the main scope of the conference (e.g., the study of completions in algebraic semantics, propositional quantification, etc.). Full versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of an international peer-reviewed journal (to be specified). == Invited speakers == Gabriel Sandu Hiroakira Ono Mingsheng Ying Rob Goldblatt Valentin Shehtman Xuefeng Wen == Conference chairs == Shier Ju Petr Cintula == Program committee == Steve Awodey Libor Behounek Itala M.L.

The 51th ToPS [June 21]
by Kazuyuki ASADA 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

[Apologies for multiple copies] I am pleased to announce the 51th Tokyo Programming Seminar, which will be held at NII on June 21 (Tue). Shin-ya Katsumata from Kyoto University will give a talk about a categorical approach to attribute grammars and Kazuyuki Asada from National Institute of Informatics will give a talk about bialgebraic semantics for multi-rooted graph algebra. The programme is attached below. I'm looking forward to meeting you at ToPS. Best regards, Kazuyuki Asada ---- The 51th ToPS http://www.ipl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~tops/upcoming_seminar.html Time: June 21th (Tue) 2011, 15:00--17:00 Place: Rm. 1208, 12F, National Institute of Informatics Speaker: (1) Kazuyuki Asada (National Institute of Informatics) Title: Many-sorted Bialgebraic Semantics for a Multi-rooted Graph Algebra and a CBV Calculus Abstract: In this talk, bialgebraic semantics for the graph algebra introduced by Buneman et al. is given. The graph algebra is a graph representation for some kind of multi-rooted graph, which is the same as Kripke model. First I give a bijective correspondence between graph algebras and terms in (the first-order part of) a call-by-value calculus equipped with output, non-termination, non-determinism, and iteration operator. Then I induce an equational theory for graph algebra from the standard one for the CBV calculus including (modified) uniformity for the iteration operator. Then, after reveiwing coalgebraic semantics for Kripke model, we see that those final coalgebras form a relative monad, and the graph algebra can be formulated as many-sorted algebra. Then I give many-sorted bialgebraic semantics for the graph algebra and the graph. Time permitting, I will explain three future works: Completeness of the equational theory, full-abstractness, and generalization. (2) Shin-ya Katsumata (Kyoto University) Title: A Categorical Approach to Attribute Grammars Abstract: Attribute grammars (AGs) are a mechanism to assign computations with bidirectional information flow to trees. We introduce a categorical formulation of AGs called monoidal AGs, and demonstrate that they subsume existing formulations of AGs, such as domain-theoretic, graph-theoretic, and relational ones, and also a special class of syntactic AGs called SSUR-ACs. Using this categorical formulation, we give a syntax-free account of the descriptional composition, which is a method to fuse two term transformation algorithms described by SSUR-ACs into one.
