FTfJP 2024

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” 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)

FTfJP welcomes submissions on technical contributions, case studies, experience reports, challenge proposals, and position papers.
