DICE-FOPARA 2019: Implicit Computational Complexity & Practical Aspects of Resource Analysis

6-7 Apr 2019
Prague, Czech Republic

CALL FOR PAPERS

    DICE-FOPARA 2019

    Joint international workshop on Developments in Implicit Computational 
complExity and Foundational and Practical Aspects of Resource Analysis

    6-7 April 2019, Prague; Satellite event of ETAPS 2019

    https://conf.researchr.org/track/etaps-2019/dice-fopara-2019-papers


** OBJECTIVES **

The joint DICE-FOPARA workshop provides synergies by combining two 
complementary communities:

The DICE workshop explores the area of Implicit Computational Complexity 
(ICC), which grew out from several proposals to use logic and formal 
methods to provide languages for complexity-bounded computation (e.g. 
Ptime, Logspace computation). It aims at studying the computational 
complexity of programs without referring to external measuring conditions 
or a particular machine model, but only by considering language 
restrictions or logical/computational principles entailing complexity 
properties. Several approaches have been explored for that purpose, such 
as restrictions on primitive recursion and ramification, rewriting 
systems, linear logic, types and lambda calculus, interpretations of 
functional and imperative programs.

The FOPARA workshop serves as a forum for presenting original research 
results that are relevant to the analysis of resource (e.g.  time, space, 
energy) consumption by computer programs. The workshop aims to bring 
together the researchers that work on foundational issues with the 
researchers that focus more on practical results. Therefore, both 
theoretical and practical contributions are encouraged. We also encourage 
papers that combine theory and practice.

The joint DICE-FOPATA workshop at ETAPS 2019 follows the successful 
experiences of co-location of DICE-FOPARA at ETAPS 2015 in London and 
ETAPS 2017 in Uppsala.


** TOPICS **

The joint workshop serves as a forum for presenting original and 
established research results that are relevant to the implicit 
computational complexity theory and to the analysis of resource (e.g. 
time, space, energy) consumption by computer programs. The workshop aims 
to bring together the researchers that work on foundational issues with 
the researchers that focus more on practical results. Therefore, both 
theoretical and practical contributions are encouraged, as well as papers 
that combine theory and practice.

Areas of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to, the 
following:

- type systems for controlling/inferring/checking complexity;
- logical and machine-independent characterisations of complexity classes;
- programming languages for complexity-bounded computation;
- logics closely related to complexity classes;
- theoretical foundations of program complexity analysis;
- static resource analysis and practical applications;
- resource analysis by term and graph rewriting.
- semantics of complexity-bounded computation;
- applications of implicit complexity to security;
- termination and resource analysis for probabilistic programs;
- semantic methods to analyse resources, including quasi-interpretations;
- practical applications of resource analysis;



** SUBMISSIONS **

We ask for submission of regular papers describing original work (up to 15 
pages) or extended abstracts (up to 5 pages) presenting already published 
work or work in progress.

With respect to regular papers, submissions will be in particular verified 
for originality and novelty and the manuscript must not have been already 
published, nor is presently submitted, elsewhere. With respect to 
submissions of extended abstracts, the goal is to provide a forum for 
discussing work in progress, but presentations of already published 
results are also welcome, provided those are within the scope of the 
workshop and potentially give rise to lively discussions during the 
meeting.

A special issue of an international journal devoted to the joint workshop 
may be proposed. In this case, the CFP will be posted after the workshop 
and will be open to long versions of papers presented at this venue, as 
well as other submissions relevant to the scientific scope.

Papers must be prepared using the LaTeX EPTCS style 
(http://style.eptcs.org/). Papers should be submitted electronically via 
the easychair submission page:
