ACM SIGLOG ANNOUNCEMENT
http://siglog.acm.org
* The ACM has recently chartered a Special Interest Group on Logic and
Computation (ACM SIGLOG). Its first Chair is Prakash Panangaden,
the other officers are Luke Ong (vice-Chair), Natarajan Shankar (Treasurer)
and Alexandra Silva (Secretary).
* The ACM-IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science is the flagship
conference of SIGLOG. SIGLOG will also actively seek association agreements
with other conferences in the field. A SIGLOG newsletter (SIGLOG News)
is also published quarterly in an electronic format with community news,
technical columns, members' feedback, conference reports, book reviews
and other items of interest to the community.
* One can join SIGLOG by visiting
https://campus.acm.org/public/qj/gensigqj/siglist/gensigqj_siglist.cfm

production rules systems, logic programming rule engines, and business
rules engines/business rules management systems; Semantic Web rule
languages and rule standards (e.g., RuleML, SWRL, RIF, PRR, SBVR, DMN,
CL, Prolog); rule-based event processing languages (EPLs) and
technologies; and research on inference rules, transformation rules,
decision rules, production rules, and ECA rules.

10th International Rule Challenge, and the 6th RuleML Doctoral
Consortium. Special topic tracks: Smart Contracts, Blockchain and
Rules Track, Constraint Handling Rules Track, Event Driven
Architectures and Active Database Systems Track, Legal Rules and
Reasoning Track, Rule- and Ontology-Based Data Access and
Transformation Track, and Rule Induction and Learning Track.

SMART CONTRACTS, BLOCKCHAIN, AND RULES TRACK of RULEML 2016
Call for Papers
6-9 July, 2016, Stony Brook University, USA
http://2016.ruleml.org/calls/blockchain-enabled-smart-contracts-and-rules
* Smart Contracts have emerged as means to digitalize and
(semi-)automatically enforce (legal) contracts, backed by blockchain
technologies --- a set of recent technologies that appeared the
first time in the context of the cryptocurrencies bitcoin, but are
now being transitioned to different domains. Smart contracts are
envisioned to essentially be user-defined programs that specify
rules governing transactions, and that are enforced by a distributed
network of peers. Traditional rule technologies have a high
relevance in the context of Smart Contracts - they can be used for
specification, reasoning, and enforcement of smart contracts, among
others. At the same time, Smart Contracts represent a potential new
application area of traditional rule technologies. The goal of this
track is to identify opportunities and challenges for use of rule
technologies in Smart Contracts, eventually shaping a better
understanding of what Smart Contracts actually are and what they
could be used for. During the last years the International Web Rule
Symposium (RuleML) has been a leading international conference on
research, applications, languages and standards for rule
technologies. Due to the relevance of rules in Smart Contracts, it
is natural that the emerging area of Smart Contracts finds RuleML a
relevant venue for dissemination and that RuleML uses this
opportunity to expand the applicability of rule technologies.

THIRD SYMPOSIUM FOR HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF PROGRAMMING (HaPoP 2016)
Call for Papers
June 25, 2016, CNAM, Paris, France
www.hapoc.org/hapop3
http://hapoc.org/node/167
Submission deadline: March 31, 2016
An affiliated event of CiE 2016, Paris
* AIMS: The aim of the current symposium is to offer an opportunity
for historical and philosophical reflection on operating systems and
the programs they coordinate. Our approach is interdisciplinarity
and openness towards different fields relevant to HaPoC. We were and
are strongly convinced that such trans- and interdisciplinarity is
necessary if one wants to reflect on a discipline such as computer
science with its multidimensional nature. The current symposium will
be organized in a similar manner and invites researchers coming from
a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers,
logicians and computer scientists who want to engage with topics
relevant to the history and philosophy of programming and more
specifically that of operating systems.
* TOPICS of the symposium include but are not restricted to historical
and philosophical reflections on:
- Origin, evolution and future of OSs
- Design and Epistemology of User Interfaces
- Principles of Data Access, Control and Sharing, especially in
relation to OSs (e.g. the Bell-La Padula model)
- Privacy and Security in OSs
- Batch processing and time sharing systems
- Models, problems and techniques of concurrency, parallelism and
distributed systems
- Open source vs corporate software
- Programming paradigms and techniques (e.g. pair-programming)
* IMPORTANT DATES:
- Submission deadline: March 31, 2016
- Notification of acceptance: April 22, 2016
* INVITED SPEAKERS:
- Daniel Glazman (Disruptive Innovations)
- Warren Toomey (Bond University, Australia)

SECOND EDITION OF THE WORKSHOP ON HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL REWRITING
AND APPLICATIONS (HDRA 2016)
Call for Papers
25-26 June 2016, Porto, Portugal
http://hdra.gforge.inria.fr/
Co-located with the FSCD conference
* Over recent years, rewriting methods have been generalized from
strings and terms to richer algebraic structures such as operads,
monoidal categories, and more generally higher-dimensional
categories. These extensions of rewriting fit in the general scope
of higher-dimensional rewriting theory, which has emerged as a
unifying algebraic framework. This approach allows one to perform
homotopical and homological analysis of rewriting systems (Squier
theory). It also provides new computational methods in the study of
coherence of higher-dimensional algebraic structures, in
combinatorial algebra (Artin-Tits monoids, Coxeter and Garside
structures), in homotopical and homological algebra (construction of

http://ceres.hh.se/mediawiki/index.php/HSST_2016
* SCOPE. Software testing accounts for a major part of software
development cost and effort, yet the current practice of software
testing is often insufficiently structured and disciplined. There
have been various attempts in the past decades to bring more rigour
and structure into this field, resulting in several
industrial-strength processes, techniques and tools for different
levels of testing. The 6th Halmstad Summer School on Testing
provides an overview of the state of the art in testing, including
theory, industrial cases, tools and hands-on tutorials by
internationally-renowned researchers.
* TUTORIALS.
- Automatic Software Verification with the Infer Static Analyzer
(Dino Distefano, Queen Mary, University of London and Facebook,
UK)
- Testing and Verification Methods for Many-Core Concurrency
(Alastair F. Donaldson, Imperial College, UK)
- Is Mutation Analysis Ready for Prime Time? (Jeff Offutt, George
Mason University, USA)
- Fault Model-Based Testing from State-Oriented Models (Alexandre
Petrenko, Computer Research Institute of Montreal (CRIM), Canada)
- The Role of Testing and Tools for Innovation (Per Runeson, Lund
University, Sweden)
- Fault Tree Analysis (Marielle Stoelinga, University of Twente, The
Netherlands)
* Ph.D. Symposium
We have 6 time slots for Ph.D. presentations, where each student
gets to present her/his research project (and possibly results) and
receive feedback from our experts. We solicit abstracts of 2 pages
in the EasyChair Style in order to make a selection
(see:http://www.easychair.org/publications/for_authors ). The
abstract should contain a clear overview of the problem description,
approach, (existing results, if any,) and future milestone.

16TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RUNTIME VERIFICATION (RV 2016)
September 23-30, Madrid, Spain
http://rv2016.imag.fr
* SCOPE: Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis
of software and hardware system executions. Runtime verification
techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and
robustness; they are significantly more powerful and versatile than
conventional testing, and more practical than exhaustive formal
verification. Runtime verification can be used prior to deployment,
for testing, verification, and debugging purposes, and after
deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for
providing fault containment and recovery as well as online system
repair. Topics of interest to the conference include:
- specification languages
- specification mining
- program instrumentation
- monitor construction techniques
- logging, recording, and replay
- runtime enforcement, fault detection, localization, containment,
recovery and repair
- program steering and adaptation
- metrics and statistical information gathering
- combination of static and dynamic analyses
- program execution visualization
- monitoring techniques for safety/mission-critical systems
- monitoring distributed systems, cloud services, and big data applications
- monitoring security and privacy policies
