[Agda] APLAS 2019 Call for Papers

[Shin-Cheng Mu]

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 17th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems
 (APLAS19) aims to stimulate programming language research by 
providing a forum for the presentation of the 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 
2019 will be held in Bali, Indonesia on 2 - 4 December 2019.


CALL FOR REGULAR RESEARCH PAPERS

We solicit submissions in the form of 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.

CALL FOR TOOL PAPERS

We solicit submissions in the form of tool papers 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.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web 
page using EasyChair 

(https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aplas19).

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
 
APLAS 2019 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.
 
ABOUT BALI

Quoting from the Lonely Planet web site: “The mere mention of 
Bali evokes thoughts of a paradise. It's more than a place; it's 
a mood, an aspiration, a tropical state of mind.”.
