7th International ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on

Programming based on Actors, Agents, and Decentralized Control

 

Held at SPLASH Conference 2017.splashcon.org <http://2017.splashcon.org/> 

Vancouver, Canada - October 24, 2017

 

===== Introduction =====

 

The fundamental turn of software into concurrency and distribution is not
only a matter of performance, but also of design and abstraction. It calls
for programming paradigms that, compared to current mainstream paradigms,
would allow us to more naturally think about, design, develop, execute,
debug, and profile systems exhibiting different degrees of concurrency,
autonomy, decentralization of control, and physical distribution.

 

AGERE! is an ACM SIGPLAN workshop dedicated to focusing on and developing
the research on programming systems, languages and applications based on
actors, agents and any related programming paradigm promoting a
decentralized mindset in solving problems and in developing systems to
implement such solutions.

 

The workshop is designed to cover both the theory and the practice of design
and programming, bringing together researchers working on the models,
languages and technologies, and practitioners developing real-world systems
and applications.

 

More info about the specific topics can be found on the AGERE! 2017 website
(2017.splashcon.org/track/agere-2017).

The workshop welcomes three main kinds of contributions:

 

(1) Mature contributions, to be published on the ACM Digital Library as an
official ACM SIGPLAN publication. Submissions can be up to 10 pages,
including references.

 

(2) Position papers and work-in-progress contributions, to be discussed
during the event and included in the informal proceedings. Submissions can
be up to 4 pages, excluding references.
