<div>The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC), sponsored by
Microsoft Research, offers a unique forum for ACM student members
at the undergraduate and graduate levels to present their original
research before a panel of judges and conference attendees. The
SRC gives visibility to up-and-coming young researchers, and
offers them an opportunity to discuss their research with experts
in their field, get feedback, and to help sharpen communication
and networking skills. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ACM’s SRC program covers expenses up to $500 for all students
invited to an SRC. Please see our website for requirements and

<div>Bidirectional transformations (bx) are a mechanism for
maintaining the consistency of at least two related sources of
information. Such sources can be relational databases, software
models and code, or any other document following standard or
ad-hoc formats. Bx are an emerging topic in a wide range of
research areas, with prominent presence at top conferences in
several different fields (namely databases, programming languages,
software engineering, and graph transformation), but with results
in one field often getting limited exposure in the others. Bx 2018
is a dedicated venue for bx in all relevant fields, and is part of
a workshop series that was created in order to promote
cross-disciplinary research and awareness in the area. As such,
since its beginning in 2012, the workshop has rotated between
venues in different fields. </div>

<div>If you ever studied any computing discipline, you must have
learnt </div>
<div>something about compilers as well, and you probably think you
forgot </div>
<div>everything about it since. Yet, almost every time you develop a
</div>
<div>non-trivial piece of software, you end up converting data
between </div>
<div>formats, traversing hierarchical structures, analysing and </div>
<div>representing dependences and doing many other things that are
at the </div>
<div>heart of compiler design and implementation. Whether you are
applying </div>
<div>a Visitor design pattern or emulating a state machine with a </div>
<div>switch/case statement, you are programming a little part of a
compiler </div>
<div>for your own language. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Participating in CoCoDo will give you a chance to immerse in
the </div>
<div>marvels of compiler technologies for one day — and if you like
it, you </div>
<div>are welcome to stay in this field! Our coding dojo will be
split into </div>
<div>sessions, each dedicated to one aspect of compilation, with
brief </div>
<div>explanations and supervision by leading field experts. There
will be </div>
<div>several technologies, mainstream and otherwise, laid out at
your </div>
<div>disposal. Better yet, you can bring your own workbench and show
us how </div>
<div>it’s done. </div>

<div>The LASSY workshop provides a space for discussion and
collaboration between researchers working on the problem of
enabling live adaptations to software systems, across the
development stack. The workshop encourages theoretical work on
programming models and techniques to adapt software systems at the
programming language, database, or user interface levels;
application and practice to adaptive systems to a particular
domain; and empirical studies on the impact and assessment of
adaptive systems from a societal point of view. </div>

The Third International Modularity in Modelling Workshop (MoMo’18) will bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the theoretical and practical challenges resulting from applying modularity, advanced separation of concerns, and composition at the modelling level. It is intended to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and discussing the impact of the use of modularization in the context of (MDE) at different levels of abstraction.</span></div>

</div>
<div>The landscape of computation platforms has changed dramatically
in recent years. Emerging systems - such as wearable devices,
smartphones, unmanned aerial vehicles, Internet of things, cloud
computing servers, heterogeneous clusters, and data centers - pose
a distinct set of system-oriented challenges ranging from data
throughput, energy efficiency, security, real-time guarantees, to
high performance. In the meantime, code quality, such as
modularity or extensibility, remains a cornerstone in modern
software engineering, bringing in crucial benefits such as modular
reasoning, program understanding, and collaborative software
development. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This workshop is driven by one fundamental question: How does
internal code quality interact with system-oriented goals? We
welcome both positive and negative responses to this question. An
example of the former would be modular reasoning systems
specifically designed to promote system-oriented goals, whereas an
example of the latter would be anti-patterns against
system-oriented goals during software development. </div>

Such computers include many-core machines, clusters of raspberry-pies, industry-scale cluster machines, cloud infrastructure, CUDA and MPI-based supercomputers etc. This workshop seeks to gather researchers that contribute to the simplification of the software stack that will be used to program such machinery in the near future. The main focus of the workshop is "Programming for the Large". Nonetheless, this workshop aims to bring together researchers from many disciplines: distributed programming, big data processing, distributed database engineering, etc. This workshop welcomes any contribution that advances the state-of-the-art in the design, implementation and engineering of runtime systems for cluster architectures.</span></div>

To provide space for unorthodox thought provoking ideas, we take inspiration from literary criticism. Papers that spark an interesting debate among the program committee are presented together with an attributed critique that discusses the merits of the work.</span></div>
