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 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).
