            FOAL: Foundations of Aspect-Oriented Languages

A one day workshop affiliated with AOSD 2011 in Porto de Galinhas,
Pernambuco, Brazil, on 21 March 2011.

Themes and Goals

FOAL is a forum for research in foundations of aspect-oriented
programming languages. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

    * Semantics of aspect-oriented languages
    * Specification and verification for such languages
    * Type systems
    * Static analysis
    * Theory of testing
    * Theory of aspect composition
    * Theory of aspect translation (compilation) and rewriting

The workshop aims to foster work in foundations, including formal
studies, promote the exchange of ideas, and encourage workers in the
semantics and formal methods communities to do research in the area of
aspect-oriented programming languages. All theoretical and
foundational studies of this topic are welcome.

The goals of FOAL are to:

    * Make progress on the foundations of aspect-oriented programming languages.
    * Exchange ideas about semantics and formal methods for
      aspect-oriented programming languages.
    * Foster interest within the programming language theory and types
      communities in aspect-oriented programming languages.
    * Foster interest within the formal methods community in aspect-oriented
      programming and the problems of reasoning about aspect-oriented programs.

Workshop Format

The planned workshop format is primarily presentation of papers and
group discussion. Talks will come in three categories: long (30
minutes plus 15 minutes of discussion), regular (20 minutes plus 5
minutes of discussion) and short (7 minutes plus 3 minutes of
discussion). The short talks will allow for presentations of topics
for which results are not yet available, perhaps for researchers who
are seeking feedback on ideas or seek collaborations.

We also plan to ensure sufficient time for discussion of each
presentation by limiting the overall number of talks.

Submissions

Invitation to the workshop will be based on papers selected by the
program committee; those wishing to attend but not having a paper to
submit should contact the organizers directly to see if there is
sufficient space in the workshop.

FOAL solicits long, regular, and short papers on all areas of formal
foundations of AOP languages. Submissions will be read by the program
committee and designated reviewers. Papers will be selected for long,
regular, and short presentation at the workshop based on their length,
scientific merit, innovation, readability, and relevance. Papers
previously published or already being reviewed by another conference
are not eligible. Some papers may not be selected for presentation,
and some may be selected for presentation in shorter talks than their
paper length would otherwise command. We will limit the length of
paper presentations and the number of papers presented to make sure
that there is enough time for discussion.

Five page summaries of papers presented at the workshop will be
included in the ACM Digital Library, hence authors of accepted papers
will be asked to transfer copyright to the ACM. However, as FOAL is a
workshop, publication of extended versions of the papers in other
venues will remain possible. We will also investigate having a special
issue of a journal for revisions of selected papers after the
workshop.

Authors should note the following details:

    * Submissions are due no later than 23:00 GMT, 6 January 2011.
    * Long papers must not exceed 10 pages in length, regular papers
      must not exceed 5 pages in length, and short papers must not
      exceed 4 pages in length.
    * We encourage use of the ACM Conference format for submissions,
      as this will be required for accepted papers.
    * You must add page numbers (which are not part of the standard format)
      to your submissions, to make adding comments easier.
    * Submissions are to be made to the following URL:
      http://continue2.cs.brown.edu/foal2011.

We will notify the corresponding author of papers that are selected
for presentation at the workshop by 23 January 2011. Early
registration for AOSD (you must register for AOSD to attend the
workshop) is 1 February 2011. Final versions of 5 page papers for the
ACM digital library will be due on 10 February 2011.
