The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims at bringing together
researchers and practitioners working in the areas of program
manipulation, partial evaluation, and program generation. PEPM focuses
on techniques, theory, tools, and applications of analysis and
manipulation of programs.
The 2013 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad interpretation of
semantics-based program manipulation and continue last years'
successful effort to expand the scope of PEPM significantly beyond the
traditionally covered areas of partial evaluation and specialization
and include practical applications of program transformations such as
refactoring tools, and practical implementation techniques such as
rule-based transformation systems. In addition, the scope of PEPM
covers manipulation and transformations of program and system
representations such as structural and semantic models that occur in
the context of model-driven development. In order to reach out to
practitioners, a separate category of tool demonstration papers will
be solicited.
Topics of interest for PEPM'13 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. PAC also
offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the
meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with
physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside
of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC programme,
see its
web page.
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 will be invited for a journal special issue
of Science of Computer Programming dedicated to PEPM'13.
PEPM has established a Best Paper award. The winner will be announced
at the workshop.
Authors must transfer copyright to ACM upon acceptance (for government
work, to the extent transferable), but retain various rights. Authors
are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their paper (source
code, test data, etc.); they retain copyright of auxiliary material.
The
SIGPLAN Republication Policy and
ACM's Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism apply.
