# About
APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a
forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas
in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia but is an
international forum that serves the worldwide programming languages
community.
APLAS is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software
(AAFS), founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many
researchers from Europe and the USA. Past APLAS symposiums were
successfully held in
Hanoi ('16), Pohang ('15), Singapore ('14), Melbourne ('13), Kyoto
('12), Kenting ('11), Shanghai ('10), Seoul ('09), Bangalore ('08),
Singapore ('07), Sydney ('06), Tsukuba ('05), Taipei ('04), and Beijing
('03) after three informal workshops. Proceedings of the past symposiums
were published in Springer's LNCS.
# Topics
The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues broadly
spanning the areas of programming languages and systems. Papers are
solicited on topics such as
- semantics, logics, foundational theory
- design of languages, type systems, and foundational calculi
- domain-specific languages
- compilers, interpreters, abstract machines
- program derivation, synthesis, and transformation
- program analysis, verification, model-checking
- logic, constraint, probabilistic, and quantum programming
- software security
- concurrency and parallelism
- tools and environments for programming and implementation
Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums. Papers
identifying future directions of programming and those addressing the
rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms are especially
welcome. Demonstration of systems and tools in the scope of APLAS are
welcome to the System and Tool demonstrations category. Authors
concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are welcome to consult
with program chair prior to submission.
# Submission
We solicit submissions in two categories:
- **Regular research papers** describing original scientific research
results, including system development and case studies. Regular research
papers *should not exceed 18 pages* in the Springer LNCS format,
including bibliography and figures. This category encompasses both
theoretical and implementation (also known as system descriptions)
papers. In either case, submissions should clearly identify what has
been accomplished and why it is significant. Submissions will be judged
on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and
clarity. System descriptions papers should contain a link to a working
system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design. In
case of lack of space, proofs, experimental results, or any information
supporting the technical results of the paper could be provided as an
appendix or a link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read
them.
- **System and tool demonstrations** describing a demonstration of a
tool or a system that support theory, program construction, reasoning,
or program execution in the scope of APLAS. The main purpose of a tool
paper is to display a completed, robust and well-documented
tool--highlighting the overall functionality of the tool, the interfaces
of the tool, interesting examples and applications of the tool, an
assessment of the tool's strengths and weaknesses, and a summary of
documentation/support available with the tool. Authors of tool
demonstration proposals are expected to present a live demonstration of
the tool at the conference. It is highly desirable that the tools are
available on the web. System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages
in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. They
may include an additional appendix of up to 6 extra pages giving the
outline, screenshots, examples, etc. to indicate the content of the
proposed live demo.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2017 using EasyChair. The
acceptable format is PDF.
Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Papers must be written in English. The proceedings will be
published as a volume in Springer's LNCS series. Accepted papers must be
presented at the conference.
# Review Process
*New for APLAS 2017*
## Lightweight Double-Blind Reviewing Process
APLAS 2017 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
Following this process means that reviewers will not see the authors'
names or affiliations as they initially review a paper. The authors'
names will then be revealed to the reviewers only once their reviews
have been submitted.
To facilitate this process, submitted papers must adhere to the following:
- **Author names and institutions must be omitted** and
- References to the authors' own related work should be in the third
person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We
build on the work of ...").
The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial
judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for
them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be
done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission, makes the job
of reviewing the paper more difficult, or interferes with the process of
disseminating new ideas. For example, important background references
should *not* be omitted or anonymized, even if they are written by the
same authors and share common ideas, techniques, or infrastructure.
Authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of
their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post
drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas.
## Author Response Period
During the author response period, authors will be able to read reviews
and respond to them as appropriate.
## Research Integrity
The Program Committee reserves the right, up until the time of
publication, to reverse a decision of paper acceptance. Reversal is
possible if fatal flaws are discovered in the paper, or research
integrity is found to have been seriously breached.
