CALL FOR PAPERS
The 11th workshop on
Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL)
June 4-6, Kyoto, Japan
http://www-mmm.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/qpl2014
The 11th workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL) will take place
at Kyoto University, Japan, from 4th to 6th, JUNE 2014.
This workshop will bring together researchers working on mathematical
foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing and spatio-temporal
causal structures, and in particular those that use logical tools,
ordered algebraic and category-theoretic structures, formal languages,
semantical methods and other computer science methods for the study of
physical behaviour in general.
Previous QPL events were held in Ottawa (2003), Turku (2004), Chicago
(2005), Oxford (2006),Reykjavik (2008), Oxford (2009), Oxford (2010),
Nijmegen (2011), Brussels (2012) and Barcelona (2013).
INVITED SPEAKERS
Giulio Chiribella (Tsinghua)
Masahito "Hassei" Hasegawa (Kyoto)

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission Deadline: 13th Apr, 2014
Notification of Acceptance: 4th May
Papers Ready: 11th May
Workshop: 4th-6th June
SUBMISSIONS
Prospective speakers are invited to submit a contribution to the workshop.
- *Short contributions* consist of a 3 page description of the work,
and a link to a paper published elsewhere.
- Longer *original contributions* consist of a 5-12 page extended
abstract which provides sufficient evidence of results of genuine
interest and provides sufficient detail to allow the program
committee to assess the merits of the work. Submissions of works in
progress are encouraged but must be more substantial than a
research proposal.
Extended versions of accepted original research contributions will be
published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(EPTCS) after the workshop. Selected contributions will further be
invited to a special issue in the journal New Generation Computing.
Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX (use of the EPTCS style is
encouraged), and must be submitted in PDF format. Submission is done
via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpl2014
TRAVEL SUPPORT
We encourage participation by graduate students. Students will pay a
reduced registration fee. We will also provide limited financial
support to students for travel and accommodations (non-students can
also apply but priority is given to students). Further information is
found on the workshop website.

We are pleased to announce the NII International Summer School on the
Coq proof assistant to be held from Monday, August 25th to Friday,
August 29th, 2014 at Shonan Village Center in Japan. This school is
sponsored by Inria and JFLI, CNRS.
Lecturers:
- Yves Bertot, INRIA, France
- Sandrine Blazy, University of Rennes 1, France
- Pierre Casteran, LaBRI, France
- Assia Mahboubi, INRIA, France
Application is open to Master students, PhD students, and people from
academy or industry who want to use Coq in their work. We might also
consider applications by Bachelor students in exceptional cases.
While the level of the lectures is intended to be accessible to motivated
beginners (with some background in logic or mathematics), it should
also be interesting to Coq users who wish to deepen their understanding
of the system.
Because of limited space, there will be a pre-selection of
participants by the organizers. If you wish to participate, please
send as soon as possible and no later than May 2nd, an email
explaining in a few words why you wish to participate to:
coq-school(a)math.nagoya-u.ac.jp
In case of students coming from outside of Japan, please also submit
a recommendation letter by one of your professors.
The participation fee including full board, meeting fees and applicable
taxes is 12,500 JPY per day plus an excursion fee of around 5,000 JPY.

APLAS 2014
12th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems
http://www.math.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/APLAS2014/
17-19 November 2014, Singapore
CALL FOR PAPERS
===============================================================
================
INVITED SPEAKERS
================
Zhenjiang Hu (NII, Japan)
Dexter Kozen (Cornell University, USA)
Julien Verlaguet (Facebook, USA)
==========
BACKGROUND
==========
APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a
forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas
in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but is
an international forum that serves the worldwide programming language
community.
APLAS is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software
(AAFS) founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many researchers
from Europe and the USA. Past APLAS symposiums were successfully held
in Melbourne ('13), Kyoto ('12), Kenting ('11), Shanghai ('10), Seoul
('09), Bangalore ('08), Singapore ('07), Sydney ('06), Tsukuba ('05),
Taipei ('04) and Beijing ('03) after three informal workshops.
Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer's LNCS.
======
TOPICS
======
The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues in
programming languages and systems. Papers are solicited on topics such
as
* semantics, logics, foundational theory;
* design of languages, type systems and foundational calculi;
* domain-specific languages;
* compilers, interpreters, abstract machines;
* program derivation, synthesis and transformation;
* program analysis, verification, model-checking;
* logic, constraint, probabilistic and quantum programming;
* software security;
* concurrency and parallelism;
* tools and environments for programming and implementation.
Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums.
Papers identifying future directions of programming and those
addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms
are especially welcome. Demonstration of systems and tools in the
scope of APLAS are welcome to the System and Tool presentations
category. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic
are welcome to consult with the program chair prior to submission.
==========
SUBMISSION
==========
We solicit submissions in two categories:
*Regular research papers* describing original scientific research
results, including tool development and case studies. Regular
research papers should not exceed 18 pages in the Springer LNCS
format, including bibliography and figures. They should clearly
identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant.
Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance,
correctness, originality, and clarity. In case of lack of space,
proofs, experimental results, or any information supporting the
technical results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a
link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them.
*System and Tool presentations* describing systems or tools that support
theory, program construction, reasoning, or program execution in the
scope of APLAS. System and Tool presentations are expected to be
centered around a demonstration. The paper and the demonstration
should identify the novelties of the tools and use motivating
examples. System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages in the
Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. Submissions
will be judged based on both the papers and the described systems or
tools. It is highly desirable that the tools are available on the
web.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2014
Acceptable formats are PostScript or PDF. Submitted papers must be
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must
be written in English. The proceedings will be published as a volume
in Springer's LNCS series. Accepted papers must be presented at the
conference.
