CPP 2017: The 6th ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Certified Programs and Proofs
Paris, France, January 16 - 17, 2017 (co-located with POPL'17)
http://cpp2017.mpi-sws.org/

Call for papers

CPP is an international forum on theoretical and practical topics in all areas, 
including computer science, mathematics, and education, that consider 
certification as an essential paradigm for their work. Certification here means 
formal, mechanized verification of some sort, preferably with production of 
independently checkable certificates.

We welcome submissions in research areas related to formal certification of 
programs and proofs. The following is a suggested list of topics of interests 
to CPP. This is a non-exhaustive list and should be read as a guideline rather 
than a requirement.

- certified or certifying programming, compilation, linking, OS kernels, 
runtime systems, and security monitors;
- program logics, type systems, and semantics for certified code;
- certified decision procedures, mathematical libraries, and mathematical 
theorems;
- proof assistants and proof theory;
- new languages and tools for certified programming;
- program analysis, program verification, and proof-carrying code;
- certified secure protocols and transactions;
- certificates for decision procedures, including linear algebra, polynomial 
systems, SAT, SMT, and unification in algebras of interest;
- certificates for semi-decision procedures, including equality, first-order 
logic, and higher-order unification;
- certificates for program termination;
- logics for certifying concurrent and distributed programs;
- higher-order logics, logical systems, separation logics, and logics for 
security;
- teaching mathematics and computer science with proof assistants.

Submission guidelines

Papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EasyChair submission page 
at

        https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpp2017.

Submitted papers must be formatted following the ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings format 
(seehttp://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/) using **10 point** font for the 
main text (not the default 9pt font).

Papers should should not exceed **12 pages** including all tables, figures, and 
bibliography. Shorter papers are very welcome and will be given equal 
consideration.

Abstracts must be submitted by October 5, 2016 (AOE). The deadline for full 
papers is October 12, 2016 (AOE), and authors have the option to withdraw their 
papers during the window between the two.

Submissions must be written in English and provide sufficient detail to allow 
the program committee to assess the merits of the paper. They should begin with 
a succinct statement of the issues, a summary of the main results, and a brief 
explanation of their significance and relevance to the conference, all phrased 
for the non-specialist. Technical and formal developments directed to the 
specialist should follow. References and comparisons with related work should 
be included. Papers not conforming to the above requirements concerning format 
and length may be rejected without further consideration.

Whenever appropriate, the submission should come along with a formal 
development, using whatever prover, e.g., Agda, Coq, Dafny, Elf, HOL, 
HOL-Light, Isabelle, Lean, Matita, Mizar, NQTHM, PVS, Vampire, etc. Such formal 
developments must be submitted together with the paper as auxiliary material, 
and will be taken into account during the reviewing process.

The results must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, 
including the proceedings of other published conferences or workshops. The PC 
chairs should be informed of closely related work submitted to a conference or 
journal in advance of submission. Original formal proofs of known results in 
mathematics or computer science are welcome. One author of each accepted paper 
is expected to present it at the conference.

For any questions about the formatting or submission of papers, please consult 
the PC chairs.
