CALL FOR PAPERS
FTfJP 2022

24th Workshop on Formal Techniques for Java-like Programs
6/7 June 2022, Berlin, Germany
https://2022.ecoop.org/track/ftfjp-2022
===========================================================

=== COVID-19 ===

Participation in the workshop is hybrid, but registration through the
ECOOP registration system is required. As a hybrid event, when
considering virtual mode, the registration system will provide you
with the link to participate in the Zoom conference sessions.

=== Important dates ===

Important dates
- Paper submission: 15 April 2022 (AoE)[Updated!]
- Paper notification: 6 May 2022 (AoE)[Updated!]
- Workshop (hybrid): date 7, co-timed with ECOOP 2022 (6-10 June 2022)

Deadlines expire at 23:59 anywhere on earth on the dates displayed above.
Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ftfjp2022

=== Objectives and scope ===

The FTfJP workshop is an excellent venue for discussion of current and
novel techniques for formal reasoning about programs. We welcome short
or long, completed or in-process contributions, particularly those
that will generate discussion and promote numerous new research
directions.

Formal techniques can help analyse programs, precisely describe
program behaviour, and verify program properties. Modern programming
languages are interesting targets for formal techniques due to their
ubiquity and wide user base, stable and well-defined interfaces and
platforms, and powerful (but also complex) libraries. New languages
and applications in this space are continually arising, resulting in
new programming languages (PL) research challenges.

Work on formal techniques and tools and on the formal underpinnings of
programming languages themselves naturally complement each other.
FTfJP is an established workshop which has run annually since 1999
alongside ECOOP, with the goal of bringing together people working in
both fields.

The workshop has a broad PL theme; the most important criterion is
that submissions will generate interesting discussions within this
community. The term 'Java-like' is somewhat historic and should be
interpreted broadly: FTfJP solicits and welcomes submission relating
to programming languages in general, beyond Java, including C#, Scala,
etc.

Example topics of interest include:

- Language design and semantics
- Type systems
- Concurrency and new application domains
- Specification and verification of program properties
- Program analysis (static or dynamic)
- Program synthesis Security
- Pearls (programs or proofs)
- Programming environments

FTfJP welcomes submissions on technical contributions, case studies,
experience reports, challenge proposals, tools, and position papers.
Webpages for previous workshops in this series are available
at:https://ftfjp.github.io/.

=== Paper Categories ===

Contributions are sought in two categories:

- Full Papers (6 pages, excluding references) present a technical
contribution, case study, or detailed experience report. We welcome
both complete and incomplete technical results; ongoing work is
particularly welcome, provided it is substantial enough to stimulate
interesting discussions.
- Short Papers (2 pages, excluding references) should advocate a
promising research direction, or otherwise present a position likely
to stimulate discussion at the workshop. We encourage e.g. established
researchers to set out a personal vision, and beginning researchers to
present a planned path to a PhD.

Both types of contributions will benefit from feedback received at the
workshop. Submissions will be peer reviewed, and will be evaluated
based on their clarity and their potential to generate interesting
discussions. Reviewing will be single blind, there is no need to
anonymize submissions.

The format of the workshop encourages interaction. FTfJP is a forum in
which a wide range of people share their expertise, from experienced
researchers to beginning PhD students.


=== Submission guidelines ===

All submissions and reviews will be managed within EasyChair.
Submissions should be made via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ftfjp2022. There is no need to
indicate the paper category (long/short).

Submissions should be in acmart/sigplan style, 10pt font. Formatting
requirements are detailed on the SIGPLAN Author Information page
(https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author).

We plan that, as in previous years, accepted papers will be published
in the ACM Digital Library, though authors will be able to opt out of
this publication, if desired. At least one author of an accepted paper
must register to the conference by the early registration date and
attend the workshop to present the work and participate in the
discussions.

Selected papers will also be considered for extended versions to be
submitted to the Journal of Object Technology (JOT).
