Analysis and Programming Languages for Web Apps and Cloud Apps 2010

CALL FOR PAPERS *Analysis and Programming Languages for Web Applications and Cloud Applications * (APLWACA 2010) http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/events/APLWACA2010 Toronto, Canada, Sunday June 6, 2010 Co-located with PLDI 2010 Submission due date: Friday March 26, 2010 Analysis and Programming Languages for Web Applications and Cloud Applications (APLWACA, pronounced "apple-whacka") is a new workshop that provides a forum for exploring and evaluating ideas on the use of program analysis and programming language techniques to improve web and cloud applications. Web applications are distributed systems that communicate using Web protocols, and contain client systems executing within commodity web browsers. Cloud applications are distributed systems that utilize cloud computing technologies. The focus of the workshop is primarily on reliability, security, and performance of web and cloud applications. Strongly encouraged are proposals of new, speculative ideas; evaluations of new or known techniques in practical settings; and discussions of important existing and emerging problems. The scope of APLWACA includes, but is not limited to: * Static analysis of web and cloud applications * Runtime analysis of web and cloud applications and enhanced web and cloud application runtimes * Program analysis techniques for discovering reliability issues, security vulnerabilities, or performance bottlenecks * Testing and model checking of web and cloud applications * Compiler- and language-based mechanisms for security and performance * New languages, techniques, and runtimes for programming web and cloud applications, including client-side programming * Characterizing web and cloud application workloads and benchmarks, especially as it comes to large distributed applications like Facebook or Hotmail More details can be found on the APLWACA website: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/events/APLWACA2010 Important Dates Submission due date Friday, March 26, 2010 Author notification Friday, April 30, 2010 Revised papers due Friday, May 14, 2010 APLWACA 2010 workshop Sunday, June 6, 2010 Technical Program Committee Stephen Chong Harvard University (co-chair) Ranjit Jhala University of California San Diego Trevor Jim AT&T Labs Research Shriram Krishnamurthi Brown University Benjamin Livshits Microsoft Research (co-chair) Sergio Maffeis Imperial College London John C.
