Workshops at ASE provide an opportunity for exchanging views, advancing ideas, and discussing preliminary results on topics related to Automated Software Engineering. Workshops can also serve as platforms to nurture new scientific communities. Workshops should not be seen as an alternative forum for presenting full research papers.

Tools and Languages in support of a Rigorous Approach to Software Development (HILT' 22)
Paper Submission 11 July

Organizers:

Jerome Hugues (CMU/SEI) and S. Tucker Taft (AdaCore)

Description:

This is the seventh in the HILT series of conferences and workshops focused on the use of High Integrity Language Technology to address challenging issues in the engineering of highly complex critical software systems. High Integrity Language Technologies have been tackling the challenges of building efficient, safe, reliable software for decades. Critical software as a domain is quickly expanding beyond embedded real-time control applications to the increasing reliance on complex software for the basic functioning of businesses, governments, and society in general.

Java Pathfinder Workshop 2022 (JPF '22)
Paper Submission 5 August

Organizers:

Elena Sherman (Boise State University) and Yannic Noller (National University of Singapore)

Description:

The goal of the workshop is to highlight current research and tools development for Java/Android program verification and analysis. Although the workshop’s theme revolves around the JPF tool, e.g., use of JPF to support basic research, tool development, or in verification case studies, we also welcome contributions related to program analysis of Java/Android applications. The workshop will serve as a platform to grow the community of researchers, foster collaboration and define future directions for JPF development and Java/Android program analysis research.

Call for Workshops

Workshops at ASE provide an opportunity for exchanging views, advancing ideas, and discussing preliminary results on topics related to Automated Software Engineering. Workshops can also serve as platforms to nurture new scientific communities. Workshops should not be seen as an alternative forum for presenting full research papers.

ASE 2022 is soliciting proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference. The workshops will be co-located with the conference. The organizers will decide the exact day after the proposals have been reviewed and accepted. Only one-day workshops can be accepted.

Workshop registration will be waived for one keynote speaker per workshop.

Proposals for organizing workshops should be written in English, limited to 4 pages (following the formatting guidelines for the main track), and submitted electronically through the ASE 2022 HotCRP submission site. Workshop proposals should include the following information:

Workshop proposals should include the following information:

  • Theme and goals of the workshop including its relevance to the field of Automated Software Engineering.
  • Targeted audience and the expected number of participants (minimum and maximum).
  • Workshop format (e.g., paper presentations, breakout sessions, panel-like discussions, combination of formats).
  • The equipment, room capacity, and any other resource necessary for the organization of the workshop.
  • Publicity strategy, participant solicitation and selection process that will be used by the workshop organizers to promote the workshop.
  • Brief description of the organizer’s background, including relevant past experience on organizing workshops and contact information.
  • Initial version of the call for papers that the workshop organizers intend to use (max. 1page)
  • Workshop duration and any other scheduling constraints.

Note that the workshop co-chairs will consider the scheduling constraints specified by the organizers, but the acceptance of a workshop proposal does not guarantee adherence to the requested date/time. The workshop co-chairs will assume that workshop proposers will be able to run a workshop on the dates that ASE 2022 has reserved for workshops.

Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the ASE 2022 workshop co-chairs. Acceptance will be based on an evaluation of the workshop’s potential for generating useful results, the timeliness and expected interest in the topic, the organizer’s ability to lead a successful workshop and the potential for attracting a sufficient number of participants. Accepted workshops must adhere to the common deadlines that will be listed for submissions of papers, acceptance of papers and preparation of proceedings.
