16th Workshop on Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages and Systems

QAPL 2018

Oxford UK, Saturday 14 July 2018
part of FLoC 2018, affiliated with FM 2018
http://www1.isti.cnr.it/~Massink/EVENTS/QAPL2018/

**************************************************************************

SCOPE:

The scope of the QAPL workshop is to discuss new developments on the
quantitative evaluation of systems, with an emphasis on quantitative
aspects of computation, broadly construed.

We solicit papers on theory, engineering methodologies, tools, case
studies, and experience reports where quantitative properties such as
bandwidth, cost, energy, memory, performance, probability,
reliability, security, locality, and time are first-class citizens.


TOPICS:

Topics of interest include (but are by no means not limited to):

* The design of probabilistic, deterministic, hybrid, real-time, and
quantum languages, and the definition of their semantical models.

* Quantitative analysis techniques such as simulation, numerical
approximation, symbolic approaches, and optimisation methods.

* Specification of quantitative properties such as probabilistic
model checking and reward structures, theory and application of
spatial and statistical model checking, as well as verification
and/or synthesis of systems in relation to quantitative aspects.

* Methodologies and frameworks as well as software tools for the
design, construction, and maintenance of systems based on
quantitative information, such as reliability engineering and
software performance engineering.

* Case studies and applications, for instance about coordination
models, cyber-physical systems, security, self-adaptive systems,
smart grids, systems of systems as well as natural/physical domains
such as chemistry and systems biology.


INVITED SPEAKERS:

* Carlo Ghezzi, Politecnico di Milano IT
* Annabelle McIver, Macquarie University AU


SUBMISSIONS:

In order to encourage participation and discussion, this workshop
solicits two types of submissions - regular papers and presentations:

1. Regular paper: Submissions must be original work, and must not have
been previously published, nor be under consideration for
publication elsewhere. Regular paper submission must not exceed
12 pages (excluding the bibliography). Additional technical material,
proofs, etc. can be provided in a clearly marked appendix which
will be read by reviewers at their discretion. Regular papers will
be reviewed by the PC.

2. Presentation reports concern recent or ongoing work on relevant
topics and ideas, for timely discussion and feedback at the
workshop. There is no restriction as for previous/future
publication of the contents of this contributions. Typically, a
presentation is based on a paper which recently appeared (or which
is going to appear) in the proceedings of another recognized
conference, or which has not been submitted yet. The (extended)
abstract of presentation submissions should not exceed
4 pages. Presentation reports will be selected by the PC Chairs
(based on the availability of presentation time).

All submissions must be in PDF format and use the EPTCS LaTeX style
(see http://style.eptcs.org/.) Submissions can be made on the
following website:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qapl2018

The workshop PC will review all regular paper submissions based on
their relevance, merit, originality, and technical content.
Presentation reports will receive a lightweight review to establish
their relevance for the workshop. The authors of accepted submissions
of both types are expected to present and discuss their work at the
workshop. Accepted regular papers will be published electronically in
the pre-proceedings available during the workshop and after the
workshop in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(EPTCS) as post-proceedings (to be confirmed). Short papers will not
be included in the EPTCS post-proceedings. A special issue related to
QAPL 2018 in an international journal is under consideration.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Abstract: 10 April 2018 (AoE) (optional)
Submission: 15 April 2018 (AoE)
Notification: 15 May 2018
Final version: (FLoC workshop proceedings): 31 May 2017 (AoE)
