-- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --
ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers
and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the
proceedings and have presentations during the conference.
ESOP and FoSSaCS accept only research papers.
A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one
of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation.
Submitted papers must be in English presenting original research. They
must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere (this
does not apply to abstracts). In particular, simultaneous submission
of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is
forbidden.
Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines of Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science and be submitted electronically in
pdf through the EasyChair author interface of the respective
conference.
Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately.
FASE and POST will use a double-blind review process.
The proceedings of ETAPS 2018 will be published in *gold open
access*. The copyright of the papers will remain with the authors. It
is most likely that the proceedings will be published in the Advanced
Research in Computing and Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
- Research papers
FASE, FoSSaCS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pp (excluding
bibliography of max 2 pp) for research papers, whereas POST allows at
most 20 pp (excluding bibliography of max 2 pp) and ESOP 25 pp
(excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).
Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication
in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page
limit. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers
must be understandable without them.
In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also *case study
papers* (at most 15 pp, excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).
Both TACAS and FASE solicit also *regular tool papers* (at most 15 pp,
excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).
- Tool demonstration papers
Submissions should consist of two parts:
* The first part, at most 6 pages, should describe the tool
presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and
provide information that illustrates the maturity and robustness of
the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.)
* The second part, at most 6 pages, should explain how the
demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including
screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
proceedings, but will be evaluated.
ESOP and FoSSaCS do not accept tool demonstration papers.
-- SATELLITE EVENTS (14-15 April, 21 April) --
A number of satellite workshops will take place before and after the
main conferences: CMCS, CREST, DICE, FAEPAS, GALOP, HotSpot,

ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
The ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has gathered scientists from
different areas of computing over the last thirty years. The forum represents
an opportunity to interact with different communities sharing an interest in
applied computing.
SAC 2018 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing
(SIGAPP), and will be hosted by the Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour
(UPPA), Bayonne, France.
Software Verification and Testing Track
The Software Verification and Testing track aims at contributing to the
challenge of improving the usability of formal methods in software
engineering. The track covers areas such as formal methods for verification
and testing, based on theorem proving, model checking, static analysis, and
run-time verification. We invite authors to submit new results in formal
verification and testing, as well as development of technologies to improve
the usability of formal methods in software engineering. Also are welcome
detailed descriptions of applications of mechanical verification to large
scale software. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
– model checking
– theorem proving
– correct by construction development
– model-based testing
– software testing
– symbolic execution
– static and dynamic analysis
– abstract interpretation
– analysis methods for dependable systems
– software certification and proof carrying code
– fault diagnosis and debugging
– verification and validation of large scale software systems
– real world applications and case studies applying software testing and
verification
– benchmarks and data sets for software testing and verification
Submissions Guidelines
Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Author(s) name(s) and
address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference
should be avoided and made in the third person. Submitted paper will undergo a
blind review process. Authors of accepted papers should submit an editorial
revision of their papers that fits within eight two-column pages (an extra two
pages, to a total of ten pages, may be available at a charge). Please comply
to this page limitation already at submission time. Accepted papers will be
published in the ACM SAC 2018 proceedings.
Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of papers, posters, or
SRC abstracts in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending
SAC MUST present the work. This is a requirement for the presented work to be
included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers,
posters, and SRC abstracts will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE
digital library.
Student Research Competition
As previous editions, SAC 2018 organises a Student Research Competition (SRC)
Program to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange
ideas with researchers and practitioners in their areas of interest.
Guidelines and information about the SRC program can be found at
http://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2018/ <http://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2018/>.

Subject: [FME Events] Third CFP IMPEX2017 : First International Workshop on
Handling IMPlicit and EXplicit knowledge in formal system development.
================================================================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
IMPEX 2017
First International Workshop on Handling IMPlicit and
EXplicit knowledge in formal system development.
Co-located with ICFEM 2017
Xi'an, China, 13-17th November 2017
================================================================================================
Background and Objectives
Most of methods based on proof systems, such as theorem provers, model
checkers or any reasoning systems, rely on the definition and use of
basic theories (logic, algebraic, types, etc.) in order to support the
expression of proofs in formal developments. They also propose
mechanisms and operators to define new theories (inside contexts or
theories or species, like in Event-B, COQ, Isabelle/HOL, Focalize,
Nuprl, ASM, PVS, etc.) or to enrich their basic theories. In
general, the definition of a theory is based on mathematical and
logical abstract concepts that support the formalisation of the studied
hardware and/or software systems. In other words, the semantics of
such formalised systems is expressed in this theory; i.e. the used
theory gives the semantics of all the systems formalised in this
theory and the required properties of these systems are expressed and
checked in the same theory. This kind of semantics represents
the implicit semantics. Note that the same semantics is used for a wide
variety of heterogeneous hardware and/or software systems.
Generally, hardware and/or software systems are associated to
information issued from the application domain in which they
evolve. For example, one integer variable (typed by an integer in the
theory) may denote a temperature expressed in Celsius degrees, whilst
another one may denote a pressure measured in bars at the extreme
limit of the left wing of an aircraft in the landing phase. In
general, this kind of knowledge is omitted by the produced
formalisations or their formalisation is hardcoded in the designed
formal model. If this knowledge carried by the concepts manipulated in
these formal models is still in the mind of the model designer, it is
not explicitly formalised and therefore, it is not shared in the same
way as for implicit theories that can be reused in several formal
developments. This kind of knowledge represents the explicit
semantics.
The objective of the meeting is to discuss on mechanisms for reducing
heterogeneity of models induced by the absence of explicit semantics
expression in the formal techniques used to specify these models. More
precisely, the meeting targets to highlight the advances in handling
both implicit and explicit semantics in formal system developments.
*List of Topics*
Discussions, presentations and more generally, contributions
shalladdress one or more topics described below
* Show that when making explicit the domain knowledge in
formal models, several relevant hidden (because they are not
explicitlymodelled in classical formal modelling languages)
properties can be handled
* How knowledge models, like ontologies, can be handled in formal
system developments?
* What are the candidate formal modelling languages and techniques
to model such domain knowledge? What are the reasoning
capabilities entailed by these modelling languages?
* Define relevant case studies that illustrate the need to make
explicit domain properties?
* Define composition mechanisms to handle domain knowledge in formal
modelling techniques. Beyond the technical results targeted by
the proposed meeting, social, economic and resilience
impacts are expected. These impacts are built on the foundations
of heterogeneity reduction and formal model alignment.
*Submission Guidelines*
Papers should be written in English and not exceed 15 pages for long
papers and 8 pages for short papers in EPTCS format
(http://www.eptcs.org/ for details). Submission should be made
through the IMPEX 2017 submission page
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=impex2017), handled by the
EasyChair conference management system.
*Proceedings*
* Preliminary proceedings, including all the papers selected for
the workshop, will be available electronically at the workshop.
* Post proceedings will be published after the workshiop with
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).
*Important Dates**
