by Nick Papoylias

=========================================================================== ***** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: September 21st ***** =========================================================================== OOPS 2016 Call for Papers Object-Oriented Programming Languages and Systems http://oops.disi.unige.it/OOPS16 Technical Track at the 31st ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, SAC 2016 http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2016 April 4-8, 2016 Pisa, Italy - Important Dates Submission of regular papers and SRC abstracts *September 21, 2015* (extended strict deadline) Notification of regular papers (and posters) and SRC acceptance/rejection November 13, 2015 Camera-ready copies of accepted papers December 11, 2015 Author registration due date December 18, 2015 SAC 2016 April 4 - 8, 2016 - Track Chair Davide Ancona (davide.ancona(a)unige.it) DIBRIS, University of Genova, Italy - SAC 2016 For the past thirty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2016 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and will be hosted by the University of Pisa, and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna University, Italy. - Call For Student Research Abstracts: Graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their research ideas are invited to submit original abstracts of their research work in areas of experimental computing and application development related to SAC 2016 Tracks. The Student Research Competition (SRC) program is designed to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researcher and practitioners in their areas of interest. - OOPS Track Object-oriented programming (OOP) has become the mainstream programming paradigm for developing complex software systems in most application domains. However, existing OO languages and platforms need to evolve to meet the continuous demand for new abstractions, features, and tools able to reduce the time, effort, and cost of creating object-oriented software systems, and improving their performance, quality and usability. To this aim, OOPS is seeking for research advances bringing benefits in all those typical aspects of software development, such as modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, concurrency and distribution, code generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, deployment, maintenance, reuse, and software evolution and adaptation. The specific OO related topics of interest for the OOPS track include, but are not limited to, the following: * Aspects and components * Code generation, and optimization, just-in-time compilation * Context-oriented programming * Databases and persistence * Distribution and concurrency * Dynamic and scripting languages * Evaluation * Feature Oriented Software Development and Programming * Formal verification * Integration with other paradigms * Interoperability, versioning and software evolution and adaptation * Language design and implementation * Modular and generic programming * Reflection, meta-programming * Runtime verification * Secure and dependable software * Static analysis * Testing and debugging * Type systems and type inference * Virtual machines OOPS offers a great opportunity to the OOP community to gain visibility, and to exploit the inter-disciplinary nature of SAC. - Submission Instructions Prospective papers should be submitted to the track in pdf format using the START submission system for regular and SRC papers available through the SAC 2016 home page ( http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2016) Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed; all papers should represent original and previously unpublished works that are currently not under review in any conference or journal. Both basic and applied research papers are welcome. The format of the paper must adhere to the sig-alternate style ( http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) Full papers are limited to 6 pages with the option for up to 2 additional pages at extra charge (80 USD per page). Posters are limited to 3 pages with the option for up to 1 additional page at extra charge (80 USD). Papers that fall short the above requirements are subjected to rejection. All papers must be submitted by *September 21, 2015* (extended strict deadline). For more information please visit the SAC 2016 home page ( http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2016) - Proceedings Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the annual conference proceedings. Accepted posters will be published as extended abstracts in the same proceedings. Please note that full registration is required for papers and posters to be included in the conference proceedings and CD. An author or a proxy attending SAC *must* present the paper. This is a requirement for including the work in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers, posters, and SRC abstracts will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library. Student registration is only intended to encourage student attendance and does not cover inclusion of papers/posters in the conference proceedings. Finally, following the tradition of the past OOPS editions, depending on the quality and the overall number of accepted papers, after the conference authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version for a journal special issue.

[ann] brick on top of bloc - preview

by Tudor Girba

Hi, We are happy to announce the first preview version of Brick, a new widget set created from scratch on top of Bloc. Brick is being developed primarily by Alex Syrel (together with Alain Plantec, Andrei Chis and myself), and the work is sponsored by ESUG. Brick is part of the Glamorous Toolkit effort and will provide the basis for the new versions of the development tools. Brick's goal is to provide a beautiful looking widget set, and the default look is based on material design. The widgets are theme-able. Right now, there exists: - Label - Simple button - Toggle button - Checkbox - Radio button - Window with or without an active title bar that can include various visual actions and info - Menu - Beautiful scrollbars that are thin by default and enlarge when the mouse hovers over it - Scalable list for huge amounts of items with various heights (The list also allows one for embedding text widgets with in place editing) The next immediate target is the creation of a new Pager widget (the widget that is behind the current GTInspector). You can see some screenshots on the official site: http://gt.moosetechnology.org/brick To play with it, you can download a ready-made image: https://ci.inria.fr/moose/job/gtoolkit5/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/gtoolk… and, in a Bloc space, you can browse the examples: BrExampleBrowser exampleOpen We would be happy to hear your feedback.

Papers may address these topics in a variety of ways, including new tools (such as languages, program analyses, and runtime systems), new techniques (such as methodologies, design processes, code organization approaches, and management techniques), and new evaluations (such as formalisms and proofs, corpora analyses, user studies, and surveys). http://2015.splashcon.org/track/oopsla2015 ** Onward! Research Papers ** Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, communities, and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting on programming language and software engineering research. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/onward2015-papers ** Onward! Essays ** Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community. An essay can be an exploration of a topic, its impact, or the circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps that by which the author reached an understanding of such a topic. The subject area should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/onward2015-essays ** DLS - Dynamic Languages Symposium ** DLS is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and research on dynamic languages, their implementation, and applications. The influence of dynamic languages — from Lisp to Smalltalk to Python to Javascript — on real-world practice, and research, continues to grow. We invite high quality papers reporting original research, innovative contributions, or experience related to dynamic languages, their implementation, and applications. Keynote: Declare Your Language Speaker: Eelco Visser (Delft University of Technology) http://2015.splashcon.org/track/dls2015 ** Panels ** The Panels track offers exciting discussion about topics related to SPLASH. Panel: Software Professionalism – Is it “Good Enough?” With: Dennis Mancl, Nancy Mead, Mary Shaw, Werner Wild http://2015.splashcon.org/event/splash2015-panels-software-professionalism-… Panel: The Future of Programming Languages and Programmers With: Lars Bak, Rob DeLine, Nick Feamster, Lindsey Kuper, Crista Lopes, Peng Wu http://2015.splashcon.org/event/splash2015-panels-the-future-of-programming… ** SPLASH-E ** The SPLASH-E track brings together researchers and educators to share educational results, ideas, and challenges centered in Software and Programming Languages. Submission formats vary, including papers, tool demos, lightning talks, challenge-topics for discussion, and suggested themes for "unconference" sessions. Help us create an engaging forum for educational issues related to SPLASH! http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash-e ** Artifacts ** The Artifact Evaluation process is a service provided by the community to help authors of accepted papers provide more substantial supplements to their papers so future researchers can more effectively build on and compare with previous work. The Artifact Evaluation Committee has been formed to assess how well paper authors prepare artifacts in support of such future researchers. Roughly, authors of papers who wish to participate are invited to submit an artifact that supports the conclusions of the paper. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-artifacts ** Workshops ** The SPLASH Workshops track will host a variety of high-quality workshops (13 in total), allowing their participants to meet and discuss research questions with peers, to mature new and exciting ideas, and to build up communities and start new collaborations. SPLASH workshops complement the main tracks of the conference and provide meetings in a smaller and more specialized setting. Workshops cultivate new ideas and concepts for the future, optionally recorded in formal proceedings. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-workshops ** Tutorials ** The SPLASH Tutorials track will consist of prestigious tutorials on current topics in software, systems, and languages research. The scope of the tutorials is the same as the conference itself: all aspects of software construction and delivery at the intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. The tutorials in particular focus on the nexus between research and practice, including work that takes inspiration from or builds connections to areas not commonly considered at SPLASH. Tutorials should introduce researchers to current research in an area, or show important new tools that can be used in research. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-tutorials ** Demos ** The SPLASH Demonstrations track is an excellent vehicle for sharing your latest work with an experienced and technically savvy audience. Live demonstrations show the impact of software innovation. Demonstrations are not product sales pitches, but rather an opportunity to highlight, explain, and present interesting technical aspects of running applications in a dynamic and highly interactive setting. Presenters are encouraged to actively solicit feedback from the audience, which should lead to very interesting and entertaining demonstration sessions. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-demos ** Posters ** The SPLASH Poster track provides an excellent forum for authors to present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any aspect of programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of the poster session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact. It is held early in the conference, to promote continued discussion among interested parties. Posters can be independent presentations or associated with one of the other parts of SPLASH. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-posters ** Doctoral Symposium ** The SPLASH Doctoral Symposium provides students with useful guidance for completing their dissertation research and beginning their research careers. The Symposium will provide an interactive forum for doctoral students who have progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal, but will not be defending their dissertation in the next 12 months. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-ds ** Student Research Competition ** The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition (ACM SRC) is an internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and SPLASH attendees. The competition has separate categories for undergraduate and graduate students and awards prizes to the top three students in each category. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition shares the Poster session’s goal to facilitate interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing both sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-src ** PLMW - Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop ** The purpose of Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW) is to give promising undergraduate students from around Pittsburgh who consider pursuing a graduate degree in this field an overview of what research in this field looks like and how to get into and succeed in graduate school. In other words, a combination whirlwind tour of this research area, networking opportunity, and how-to-succeed guide. The program of PLMW will include talks by prominent researchers of the field of programming languages and software engineering providing an insight in their research. http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-plmw ** RPG Richard's Pretty Good Talks ** RPG is my micro-conference. RPG is sporadically held, suddenly announced, and leaves little but mental limps and frustration / aka instability—take it as step #1 toward getting you decanalized. I choose the speakers and I don’t care what you think; I choose the topics and I always choose first loves. I want people telling me about things they cherish / not about how they make their living.

Repository (In)Security

by Sean P. DeNigris

We were sitting here looking at some unencrypted network traffic and it hit me - our StHub, SqS, and ss3 credentials are always unencrypted. This is a tremendous security hole. Someone could grab the credentials of a more prominent member of the community who has admin rights to many repos and start uploading arbitrary Zip files with who-knows-what embedded. SSL certificates are so cheap today. Will ESUG purchase them for our community servers? I personally have deleted all my private repos, and moved them to BitBucket, which I can access via SSH, but it doesn't solve the problem because of course any open source St project I load will open the flood gates! ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Repository-In-Security-tp4845058.html Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
