CALL FOR PAPERS
WAO 2017
2nd Workshop on Actors and Active Objects
A Satellite workshop of iFM 2017
Torino, Italy
18 September 2017
http://costa.ls.fi.upm.es/wao17
Description of the workshop
===========================
Distribution and concurrency are currently mainstream. The Internet
and the broad availability of multi-processors radically influence
software. This brings renewed interest in developing both new
concurrency models and associated programming languages techniques
that help in understanding, analyzing, and verifying the behavior of
concurrent and distributed programs. The actors or active objects
concurrency model has emerged as an alternative to the usual
thread-based concurrency model, providing programmers with high-level
concurrency constructs that help in producing concurrent applications
more modularly and in a less error-prone way. It is gaining a lot of
popularity mainly because of the success of languages like Scala and
Erlang. Also, most mainstream languages are nowadays providing actors
or active-objects libraries.
The objective of the workshop is to discuss about current evolution of
actors and active objects and related languages, technology and
tools. The goal is to make the workshop an active discussion forum for
all work related to actor languages and active-objects in order to
have a better view on the current and future trends in this field and
perhaps build longer term collaborations. The workshop will be a
mixture of invited presentations and short tutorials on
state-of-the-art languages/techniques/tools by experts in the field,
presentations of recently published high-quality papers, prototype
demonstrations, and presentations of proofs-of-concept and promising
ideas.
Invited speaker
===============
Lars Ake Fredlund, Technical University of Madrid
Important dates
===============
Abstract submission: June 7, 2017 (extended)
Paper submission: June 9, 2017 (extended)
Notification: July 10, 2017
Submission information
======================
We solicit papers in the following categories:
(1) Regular research papers of at most 12 pages (excluding references)
describing original scientific research results or its relevance
to real applications. Case studies and tool demonstrations are
also welcome, in these cases with a maximum length of 8 pages. The
paper should explain why the technique/case-study/tool is relevant
for the community, and, in particular, for
practitioners. Submissions will be judged on the basis of
significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity.
(2) Position papers of at most 4 pages describing exciting but not
fully polished research (proofs-of-concept, promising ideas,
etc.).
(3) High-quality already published papers. Authors will send an
extended abstract of at most 2 pages describing the work and a
link to the publication.
Revised versions of accepted papers of category (1), taking into
account the feedback received at the workshop, will be published in a
volume of the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(EPTCS) series after the workshop. For submissions in categories (2)
and (3) there will be a light-weight reviewing process where
submissions will be judged on their interest to the workshop audience.
Papers will be submitted (in PDF format) through Easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wao2017
