Choreographic Programming: Call for Contributions
=================================================
First International Workshop on Choreographic Programming co-located with
PLDI 2024
One-day event, TBD within 24–28th of June 2024, Copenhagen, Denmark
https://pldi24.sigplan.org/home/cp-2024
Important dates
---------------
- Submission deadline: March 22nd, 2024 (AoE)
- Notification to authors: May 3rd, 2024 (AoE)
- Workshop day: TBD in week 26
Theme and Topics
----------------
Choreographies are coordination plans for concurrent and distributed
systems, which define the roles of the involved participants and how they
are supposed to work together. In the paradigm of choreographic programming
(CP), choreographies are programs that can be compiled to executable
implementations.
CP originated primarily in the context of process calculi, with preliminary
work done to establish its foundations and experiment with implementations.
Recently, several proposals have shown that one can adapt CP to work in
synergy with mainstream programming paradigms, such as object-oriented and
functional programming. These works substantiate the interest of a growing
community of researchers and practitioners in evolving CP into a mature
paradigm, able to improve the productivity and reliability of programming
concurrent and distributed systems.
The aim of this workshop is to catalyse the community around CP by
soliciting contributions in the following topics:
- Theory and models of choreographic programming.
- Design and implementation of choreographic programming languages,
encompassing both standalone and library-based implementations.
- Design and implementation of runtime systems for choreographic
programming.
- Verification and testing of choreographic programs.
- Type systems for choreographic languages.
- Interactions with software engineering (e.g., software requirements,
design, construction, testing, analysis, and maintenance and software
development methodologies).
- Fault tolerance and reliability in the context of choreographic
programming.
- Synergies and comparisons with adjacent approaches for concurrent and
distributed programming (e.g., multitier programming).
Contributions and Evaluation
----------------------------
Contributions can be work in progress, scientific work published or
submitted for publication, tutorials, or practical experience reports.
Submissions should be no more than 6 pages excluding bibliography, using
the ACM Proceedings format. Templates for Microsoft Word and LaTeX can be
found at the SIGPLAN author information page.
Submissions will be evaluated following a lightweight double-blind review
process.
For further details, refer to the workshop website and for any further
queries, please contact the chairs.

COORDINATION 2024
26th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
Part of 19th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing
Techniques (DisCoTec 2024), together with FORTE and DAIS conferences.
Dates: June 18-20, 2024
Location: University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Website: https://www.discotec.org/2024/coordination
Paper submission deadline: February 09, 2024
Submission Link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coordination2024
Scope
========
Modern information systems rely increasingly on combining concurrent,
distributed, mobile, adaptive, reconfigurable, and heterogeneous
components. New
models, architectures, languages, and verification techniques are necessary
to
cope with the complexity induced by the demands of today's software
development.
Coordination languages have emerged as a successful approach, in that they
provide abstractions that cleanly separate behaviour from communication,
therefore increasing modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately
enhancing
software development. Building on the success of the previous editions, this
conference provides a well-established forum for the growing community of
researchers interested in models, languages, architectures, and
implementation
techniques for coordination.
Main Topics
==============
Topics of interest encompass all areas of coordination, including (but not
limited to) coordination-related aspects of:
- Theoretical models and foundations for coordination:
component composition, concurrency, distribution, mobility; dynamic,
spatial
and probabilistic aspects of coordination; logic, types, semantics.
- Coordination of multi-agent and collective systems:
models, languages, infrastructures, self-adaptation, self-organisation,
distributed solving, collective intelligence and emerging behaviour.
- Coordination and modern distributed computing:
web services, microservices, peer-to-peer networks, grid computing,
context-awareness, ubiquitous computing, mobile computing, reversible
computing.
- Session-based programming:
models, languages, behavioural types, and tools.
- Models, languages, verification techniques, and tools for
interacting smart contracts and (blockchain-based) decentralised
applications.
- Languages, methodologies, and tools for secure coordination.
- Cybersecurity aspects of coordinated systems, coordinated approaches to
cybersecurity.
- Nature- and bio-inspired approaches to coordination.
- Specification, refinement, and analysis of architectures:
patterns and styles, verification of functional and non-functional
properties, including performance and security aspects.
- Dynamic software architectures:
distributed mobile code, configuration, reconfiguration, networked
computing,
parallel, high-performance and cloud computing.
- Coordination platforms for infrastructures of emergent new application
domains, like IoT, fog-, and edge-computing.
- Programming methodologies, languages, middleware, tools, and environments
for the development and verification of coordinated applications,
including
DevOps approaches.
- Coordination in business process management:
coordination models for business process management, process mining
techniques and tools for coordination models.
- Industrial relevance of coordination and software architectures:
programming in the large, domain-specific software architectures and
coordination models, industry-driven efforts in coordination and case
studies.
- Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination.
Invited Speakers
==================
Marieke Huisman, University of Twente, The Netherlands
Laura Kovács, Vienna University of Technology, Austria
Paulo Veríssimo, KAUST, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Important dates
==================
- Abstract submission: February 02, 2024
- Paper submission: February 09, 2024
- Paper notification: March 29, 2024
- Camera-ready: April 24, 2024
Dates are Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
Submission
=============
We invite you to submit:
- Regular papers (7-15 pages, not counting references):
describing thorough and complete research results and experience
reports. In
a clear case of need, as an exception, authors may ask for permission via
email to the PC co-chairs to exceed the paper's max length by at most
10%,
under the condition that last-minute shortening would really damage the
clarity of the paper or result in non-submission. The authors must make a
draft of the paper available to the PC co-chairs via EasyChair.
- Short papers (4-6 pages, not counting references):
describing research in progress or opinion papers on the past of
COORDINATION research, on the current state of the art, or on prospects
for
the years to come.
- Survey papers (16-25 pages, not counting references):
describing important results and success stories related to the topics of
COORDINATION.
- Tool papers (4-15 pages, not counting references):
describing technological artefacts in the scope of the research topics
of
COORDINATION. Tool papers should provide a clear account of the tool's
functionality, discuss the tool's practical capabilities possibly with
reference to the type and size of problems it can handle, and, when
applicable, report on realistic case studies (possibly providing a
rigorous
experimental evaluation). Tool papers may also provide an account of the
theoretical foundations, including relevant citations, and present
design
and implementation concerns, possibly including software architecture
and
core data structures. Papers that present extensions to existing tools
should clearly describe the improvements or extensions with respect to
previously published versions of the tool, possibly providing data on
enhancements in terms of resources and capabilities. Papers may contain
a
link to a publicly downloadable MPEG-4 demo video of at most 10 minutes
length.
Artefacts
============
Following ACM's definition [1], an artefact is "a digital object that was
either
created by the authors to be used as part of the study or generated by the
experiment itself. For example, artifacts can be software systems, scripts
used
to run experiments, input datasets, raw data collected in the experiment, or
scripts used to analyze results".
To improve and reward reproducibility and to give more visibility and
credit to
the effort of tool developers in the COORDINATION community, authors of
submitted papers are invited to submit publicly available artefacts (using
permanent repositories such as Software Heritage, Zenodo, etc.), which will
be
associated with their paper for evaluation. Based on the result of the
artefact
evaluation, one or more badges may be applied to a paper. Specifically,
COORDINATION uses the EAPLS badging scheme [2], which in its own turn is
based
on and consistent with the ACM initiative.
Artefact submission is mandatory for tool papers and the result of the
artefact
evaluation will be considered in the tool paper's acceptance decision.
Instead,
artefact submission is optional for all the other paper categories and the
result of the artefact evaluation will not affect the paper's acceptance
decision but may affect the best paper selection.
Dates (AoE):
- Artefact submission: February 29, 2024
- Kick-the-tires phase:
- Problem reports from reviewers: 8 March, 2024
- Authors' response to reviewers: 15 March, 2024
- Artefact notification: March 29, 2024

Proceedings
==============
The conference proceedings, consisting of accepted submissions from any
paper
category, will be published by Springer in LNCS-IFIP volumes.
Special issues
=================
After the conference, selected papers from
the COORDINATION and FORTE programmes (except for tool papers) will be
invited to a special issue of the
Logical Methods in Computer Science journal. The paper submission deadline
is
planned for October/November 2024, and the notifications for the first round
of reviews around February 2025. Selected accepted tool papers, instead,
will be
invited to a special issue of a reputable journal with a track dedicated to
software, like the Journal of Science of Computer Programming's Software
Track.
The most recent special issue is out: COORDINATION 2021, Special Issue of
Logical Methods in Computer Science, edited by Ferruccio Damiani and Ornela

***********************************************************************
The SPIN symposium aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners interested in automated tool-based techniques for the
analysis of software as well as models of software, for the purpose of
verification and validation. The symposium specifically focuses on
concurrent software but does not exclude the analysis of sequential
software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel
algorithms, tool development, and empirical evaluation.
The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit state
model checking, specifically as related to the SPIN model checker.
However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly-scoped symposium for
software analysis using any automated techniques, including model
checking, automated theorem proving, and symbolic execution. An overview
of the previous SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be found at:
https://spinroot.com/spin/Workshops/. In celebration of the 30th edition
of the symposium, SPIN 2024 features a special track for historical
accounts and other broad discussions (see below).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Insightful surveys or historical accounts on topics of relevance to
the symposium, for the special anniversary track (see below)
- Formal verification techniques for automated analysis of (concurrent)
software/hardware, including:
- Model checking
- Deductive verification
- Automated theorem proving, including SAT and SMT
- Abstraction and symbolic execution techniques
- Static analysis and abstract interpretation
- Modular and compositional verification techniques
- Verification of timed and probabilistic systems
- Automated testing using advanced analysis techniques
- Program synthesis
- Derivation of specifications, test cases etc. via formal analysis
- Formal specification languages, temporal logic, design-by-contract
- Formal analysis of learned systems
- Any combination of the above
- Application and/or engineering of verification tools, including:
- Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results
- Implementation of novel verification tools
- Benchmarks and comparative studies for verification tools
- Verification tools using modern hardware, e.g.: multi-core CPU, GPU,
TPU, cloud, and quantum

We are soliciting three categories of papers:
* Full Research Papers describing fully developed work and complete
results (16 pages, excluding bibliography);
* Short Papers presenting tools, technology, experiences with lessons
learned, new ideas, work in progress with preliminary results, and novel
contributions to formal methods (6 pages, excluding bibliography).
* Special anniversary track: to celebrate the 30th edition of SPIN, we
invite submissions that present the field of formal methods in a broad
sense. These may be historical accounts, discussion of successful
research lines, surveys, position papers etc (16 pages, excluding
bibliography).
All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed
by members of the program committee. Submissions will be evaluated on
the basis of originality, the importance of contribution, soundness,
evaluation, quality of presentation, and appropriate comparison to
related work.
At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the symposium and
present the paper.
A Best Paper award will be announced and handed out at the conference.
A selection of papers will be invited to a special issue of the
International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT).
ARTIFACTS
SPIN 2024 introduces an artifact evaluation, performed by an Artifact
Evaluation Committee (AEC). The AEC evaluates artifacts based on
documentation, availability, reproducibility of results and reusability.
Papers with an accompanying artifact may be awarded one or more badges
from the EAPLS artifact badging scheme. Submission of an artifact is
optional. Full details on artifact evaluation are available on
https://spin-web.github.io/SPIN2024/artifacts.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Keynotes at SPIN will be given by Kristin Yvonne Rozier (Iowa State
University, USA) and Holger Hermanns (Saarland University, Germany).
