CALL FOR PAPERS
*******************************************************************************
8th Workshop on Advances in Programming Languages (WAPL'21)
https://www.fedcsis.org/2021/sew-iwcps
Organized within 2021 Federated Conference on Computer Science and
Intelligence Systems (FedCSIS'21; IEEE #52320)
***************************** COVID-19 Information ****************************
While we have planned the 2021 conference to take place in Sofia,
Bulgaria, slow progress in fighting the global pandemic has forced us
to switch to the fully online mode. Therefore, we plan to organize
FedCSIS 2022 in Sofia, and hope that by that time COVID will be over,
and we will be able to meet in person.

FOR PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINES SEE THE BOTTOM OF THIS MESSAGE
Programming languages (PLs) are programmers' most basic tools. With
appropriate programming languages one can drastically reduce the cost
of building new applications as well as maintaining existing ones. In
the last decades there have been many advances in PL technology in
traditional programming paradigms such as functional, logic, and
object-oriented programming, as well as the development of new
paradigms such as aspect-oriented programming. The main driving force
was and will be to better express programmers' ideas. Therefore,
research in programming languages is an endless activity and the core
of computer science. New language features, new programming paradigms,
and better compile-time and run-time mechanisms can be foreseen in the
future.
The aim of this session is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas
and experience in topics concerned with programming languages and
systems. Original papers and implementation reports are invited in all
areas of programming languages.
This year, a special attention will be given to submissions on
programming research in mainstream languages. That can include, but is
not limited to:
• porting existing results from research languages to mainstream
ones to examine their interplay with other features than those
carefully cherry-picked for the targeted research. And,
• gauging generality of research results by studying their
obtainability using different sets of features than originally thought
of.
Such submission needs to clarify the added value of performing their
research in a mainstream language (over a lab one).
Topics:
Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
• Software language engineering
• Interplay between languages and machine learning (and other
branches of AI), especially for Code Repair and Code Smells
• Interplay between languages and security
• Automata theory and applications
• Compiling techniques
• Context-oriented programming languages to specify the behavior
of software systems and dynamic adaptations
• Domain-specific languages
• Formal semantics and syntax
• Generative and generic programming
• Grammarware and grammar based systems
• Knowledge engineering languages, integration of knowledge
engineering and software engineering
• Languages and tools for trustworthy computing
• Language theory and applications
• Language concepts, design and implementation
• Markup languages (XML)
• Metamodeling and modeling languages
• Model-driven engineering languages and systems
• Practical experiences with programming languages
• Program analysis, optimization and verification
• Program generation and transformation
• Programming paradigms (aspect-oriented, functional, logic,
object-oriented, etc.)
• Programming tools and environments
• Proof theory for programs
• Specification languages
• Type systems
• Virtual machines and just-in-time compilation
• Visual programming languages

registration in exchange for technical assistance with running the
sessions.
Please check http://easyconferences.eu/icalp2021/registration/ for details.
The main duties of a student volunteer:
- To provide support in technical sessions, either for the main
conference or workshops or both. This mainly consists of helping
presenters to work with the online conference platform. Training will be
given.
- To help with social sessions, in as-yet-unspecified ways – for
example, helping to assign people to groups, or technical troubleshooting.
- To answer queries from conference participants, passing such queries
to members of the organising committee if necessary.
The dates when you will be needed are as follows:
- Morning of the 1st and afternoon of the 2nd July for conference
rehearsal and training.
- Tuesday 13th to Friday 16th July inclusive for the main conference -
though you will only be asked to volunteer over two of these days. We
will do our best to accomodate preferences in our scheduling.
The benefits of volunteering:
- Helping with a major event.
- Experience for your CV.
- Free registration for the conference, including access to social
events and invited talks. However, you will not have a free choice of
technical sessions because you will be assigned to certain sessions as a
volunteer.
- Camaraderie with fellow volunteers, and our gratitude - we are
planning appreciation events for our student volunteers.
If you are interested in volunteering, please see the draft job
description, and email Dr Jess Enright (jessica.enright(a)glasgow.ac.uk)
to register your interest, including “ICALP Student Volunteer” in the

SPECIAL SESSION: SCREENING OF MOVIES ABOUT MATHEMATICIANS
It is planned to have a special session with the exhibition of a one-hour
documentary film about a remarkable mathematician whose contributions were
recognized with a Fields Medal just a few years before her untimely death.
It is a joint production (still on its course) of The Mathematical Sciences
Research Institute (MSRI) and George Csicsery (Zala Films): ‘Secrets of the
Surface - The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani’. “The biographical
film is about Maryam Mirzakhani, a brilliant woman, and Muslim immigrant to
the United States who became a superstar in her field. The story of her
life will be complemented with sections about Mirzakhani’s mathematical
contributions, as explained by colleagues and illustrated with animated
sequences. Throughout, we will look for clues about the sources of
Mirzakhani’s insights and creativity." (http://www.zalafilms.com/secrets/)

in nature, natural languages, and reasoning.
The session covers theoretical work, applications, approaches, and
techniques for computational models of information, language (artificial,
human, or natural in other ways), reasoning. The goal is to promote
computational systems and related models of thought, mental states,
reasoning, and other cognitive processes.

limited to them, across approaches, methods, theories, implementations, and
applications:
- Theorem provers and assistants
- Model checkers
- Theory of computation
- Theory of information
- Computational methods of inferences in natural language
- Computational theories and systems of reasoning in natural language
- Transfer of reasoning in natural language to theorem provers, or vice
versa
- Transfer of reasoning between natural language, theorem provers, model
checkers, and various computational assistants
- Computational approaches of computational linguistics for domain specific
areas
- Theories for applications to language, information processing, reasoning
- Type theories for applications to language, information processing,
reasoning
- Computational grammar
- Computational syntax
- Computational semantics of natural languages
- Computational syntax-semantics interface
- Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text,
pragmatics
- Parsing
- Multilingual processing
- Large-scale grammars of natural languages
- Models of computation and algorithms for linguistics, natural language
processing, argumentation
- Computational models of partiality, underspecification, and
context-dependency

SPECIAL SESSION: SCREENING OF MOVIES ABOUT MATHEMATICIANS
It is planned to have a special session with the exhibition of a one-hour
documentary film about a remarkable mathematician whose contributions were
recognized with a Fields Medal just a few years before her untimely death.
It is a joint production (still on its course) of The Mathematical Sciences
Research Institute (MSRI) and George Csicsery (Zala Films): ‘Secrets of the
Surface - The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani’. “The biographical
film is about Maryam Mirzakhani, a brilliant woman, and Muslim immigrant to
the United States who became a superstar in her field. The story of her
life will be complemented with sections about Mirzakhani’s mathematical
contributions, as explained by colleagues and illustrated with animated
sequences. Throughout, we will look for clues about the sources of
Mirzakhani’s insights and creativity." (http://www.zalafilms.com/secrets/)

CALL FOR PAPERS
QBF 2021
--------
International Workshop on
Quantified Boolean Formulas and Beyond
To be held virtually as a 1/2-day event,
during SAT 2021 (July 5-9, 2021)
https://www.ac.tuwien.ac.at/qbf2021
Affiliated to and co-located with:
Int. Conf. on Theory and Applications
of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2021)
July 5-9, 2021
-------------------------------------------------------------
Quantified Boolean formulas (QBF) are an extension of propositional
logic which allows for explicit quantification over propositional
variables. The decision problem of QBF is PSPACE-complete, compared to
the NP-completeness of the decision problem of propositional logic (SAT).
Many problems from application domains such as model checking, formal
verification or synthesis are PSPACE-complete, and hence could be
encoded in QBF in a natural way. Considerable progress has been made
in QBF solving throughout the past years. However, in contrast to SAT,
QBF is not yet widely applied to practical problems in academic or
industrial settings. For example, the extraction and validation of
models of (un)satisfiability of QBFs has turned out to be
challenging, given that state-of-the-art solvers implement different
solving paradigms.
The goal of the International Workshop on Quantified Boolean Formulas
(QBF Workshop) is to bring together researchers working on theoretical
and practical aspects of QBF solving. In addition to that, it
addresses (potential) users of QBF in order to reflect on the
state-of-the-art and to consolidate on immediate and long-term
research challenges.
The workshop also welcomes work on reasoning with quantifiers in
related problems, such as dependency QBF (DQBF), quantified constraint
satisfaction problems (QCSP), and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT)
with quantifiers.

Structural reasoning
==========
SUBMISSION
==========
Submissions of extended abstracts are invited and will be managed via
Easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qbf2021
In particular, we invite the submission of extended abstracts on work
that has been published already, novel unpublished work, or work in
progress.
The following forms of submissions are solicited:
- Proposals for short tutorial presentations on topics related to the
workshop. Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the PC. The number
of accepted tutorials depends on the overall number of accepted
papers and talks, with the aim to set up a balanced workshop
program.
- Talk abstracts reporting on already published work. Such an abstract
should include an outline of the planned talk, and pointers to
relevant bibliography.
- Talk proposals presenting work that is unpublished or in progress.
- Submissions which describe novel applications of QBF or related
formalisms in various domains are particularly welcome.
Additionally, this call comprises known applications which have been
shown to be hard for QBF solvers in the past as well as new
applications for which present QBF solvers might lack certain
features still to be identified.
Each submission should have an overall length of 1-4 pages in LNCS
format. Authors may decide to include an appendix with additional
material. Appendices will be considered at the reviewers' discretion.
The accepted extended abstracts will be published on the workshop
webpage. The workshop does not have formal proceedings.
Authors of accepted contributions are expected to give a talk at the
workshop.
