First International Workshop on Formal Integrated Development Environments (Satellite event of ETAPS)
Call for Papers - F-IDE 2014 - April 6th, 2014, Grenoble, France Call for Papers First International Workshop on Formal Integrated Development Environments (Satellite event of ETAPS) April 6th, 2014, Grenoble, France http://www.ensta-paristech.fr/~etaps/ WORKSHOP AIM High levels of safety, security and also privacy standards require the use of formal methods to specify and develop compliant software (sub)systems. Any standard comes with an assessment process, which requires a complete documentation of the application in order to ease the justification of design choices, code review and proofs. Ideally, an F-IDE dedicated to such developments should comply with several requirements. The first one is to associate a logical theory with a programming language, in a way that facilitates the tightly coupled handling of specification properties and program constructs. The second one is to offer a language/environment simple enough to be usable by most developers, even if they are not fully acquainted with higher-order logics or set theory, in particular by making development of proofs as easy as possible and as readable as possible. The third one is to offer automated management of application documentation. It may also be expected that developments done with such an F-IDE are reusable and modular. Moreover, tools for testing andstatic analysis may be embedded in this F-IDE, to address most steps of the assessment process. TOPICS We encourage submissions presenting and discussing research efforts as well as experience feedbacks on design, development, use of tools aiming at making formal methods "easier" for non-specialists. In this context, the topics include (but are not limited to): - F-IDE building : design and integration of languages, compilation - How to make high-level logical and programming concepts palatable to industrial developers - Integration of Object-Oriented and modularity features - Integration of static analyzers - Integration of automatic proof tools, theorem provers and testing tools - Documentation tools - Impact of tools on certification - Experience reports of developing F-IDE - Experience reports of using F-IDE - Experience reports of formal methods-based assessments of industrial applications We encourage not only mature research results but also submissions presenting innovative ideas and early results are also of interest. SUBMISSIONS Papers (6-14 pages in length), following EPCTS format are expected. They can be: - Research papers providing new concepts and results - Position papers and research perspectives - Experience reports - Tool presentations Submissions will be done via Easychair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fide2014 PROCEEDINGS Final versions of accepted papers will be published in a volume of the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). IMPORTANT DATES - Abstract submission : 18 December, 2013 - Paper Submission : 23 December, 2013 - Notification : 27 January, 2014 - Final version : 10 February, 2014 - Workshop date: April 6, 2014 PC CO-CHAIRS - Catherine Dubois, Cédric / ENSIIE,(dot) (at) ensiie (dot) fr - Dimitra Giannakopoulou, NASA Ames, (dot) (at) nasa (dot) gov - Dominique Mery, LORIA / Université de Lorraine, (dot) (at) loria (dot) fr
11th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing 17-20 September 2014, Bucharest, Romania
CALL FOR PAPERS -- ICTAC 2014

11th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing
17-20 September 2014, Bucharest, Romania
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/ictac2014
**********************************************************************
ICTAC 2014 is the 11th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects
of Computing and will bring together practitioners and researchers from
academia, industry and government to present research and to exchange
ideas and experience addressing challenges in both theoretical aspects
of computing and in the exploitation of theory through methods and tools
for system development. Another aim of ICTAC is to bring together
researchers working on theoretical aspects of computing in order to
present their recent results and to discuss new ideas concerning
computer science.
THEMES AND TOPICS OF PAPERS
ICTAC 2014 calls for regular research papers on theories of computation
and programming, foundations of software engineering and on formal
techniques in software design and verification, as well as papers about
tools that support formal techniques for software modeling, system
design and verification.
The topical areas of the conference include, but not limited to
* Automata theory and formal languages;
* Principles and semantics of programming languages;
* Theories of concurrency, mobility and reconfiguration;
* Logics and their applications;
* Software architectures, their models, refinement and verification;
* Relationship between software requirements, models and code;
* Program static and dynamic analysis and verification;
* Software specification, refinement, verification and testing;
* Model checking and theorem proving;
* Models of object and component systems;
* Coordination and feature interaction;
* Integration of theories, formal methods and tools for
engineering computing systems;
* Service-oriented architectures: models and development methods;
* Models of concurrency, security, and mobility;
* Theory of distributed, grid and cloud computing;
* Real-time, embedded, hybrid and cyber-physical systems;
* Type and category theory in computer science.
PAPER SUBMISSION
As for the past editions, the proceedings of ICTAC 2014 will be
published by Springer in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) and will be available at the colloquium. Special issue of few
journals with extended version of selected papers from ICTAC 2014 is
under negotiation. Submissions to the colloquium must not have been
published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All
submissions will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to
the field, technical and presentation quality, as well as their
relevance to the conference.
Regular Papers should not exceed 18 pages in LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). Papers must
be submitted by using www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictac2014.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract submission: 16 March 2014
Submission deadline: 23 March 2014
Paper notification: 30 May 2014
Revised/final paper: 14 June 2014
