Paper accepted at TUG 2020

by Didier Verna

Hello, I'm happy to announce that the following paper has been accepted at TUG 2020, to be held (hopefully) this July in Rochester, USA. Title: Experimenting with Typesetting Algorithms, Interactively, and in Real-Time Abstract: In general, typesetting experimentation is not a very practical thing to do. WYSIWYG typesetting systems are very reactive but do not offer highly configurable algorithms, and TeX, with its separate development / compilation / visualization phases, is not as interactive as its WYSIWYG competitors. Being able to experiment with typesetting algorithms interactively and in real-time is nevertheless desirable, for instance for demonstration purposes, or for rapid prototyping, and debugging new ideas. We present ETAP (Experimental Typesetting Algorithms Platform), a tool written to ease the typesetting experimentation process. ETAP currently provides several paragraph justification algorithms, all with many configuration options such as kerning, ligatures, flexible spaces, sloppiness, hyphenation, etc. The resulting paragraph is displayed with many visual hints as well, such as paragraph, character, and line boxes, baselines, over/underfullness hints, etc. All those parameters, along with the desired paragraph width, are adjustable interactively through a GUI, and the resulting paragraph is displayed and updated in real-time. ETAP can also be used without the GUI, as a scriptable application. In particular, it is able to generate all sorts of statistical reports or charts on the behavior of the various algorithms, for instance, the number of over/underfull boxes per paragraph width, the average compression or stretch ratio per line, whatever else you want. This allows you to quickly demonstrate or evaluate the comparative behavior or merits of the provided algorithms, or whichever you may want to add to the pool. -- Resistance is futile.

(sans objet)

by Didier Verna

Dear all, here is an update on the current situation of ELS 2020. 1. Given the evolution of the world-wide situation with regard to the COVID pandemic, it will come as no surprise that we have to cancel the Zurich event. 2. I have consequently closed the registrations, and I will proceed with full refunding this afternoon. 3. In the meantime, the reviewing process has continued as usual, and I'm happy to announce that thanks to the authors, the PC, and under the supervision of Ioanna, we now have a preliminary programme online! At least, this will already give you a taste of what we have this year. See http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/. 4. A fallback solution is still under consideration, so stay tuned for updates. What I can tell you right now is this: a fully online event is very unlikely. More likely would be a semi-interactive online event, with the broadcasting of pre-recorded talks and a real-time channel for interaction. We have not completely ruled out the possibility of just postponing the physical event, but that solution is not very probable. Finally, if we go for an online event, I will make sure that it will be free and open for anyone to "attend". So, this is what I can tell you right now. Finally, I also want to extend my warmest thanks to all the persons who showed their support (notably financial, which is critical), by staying optimistic and registering anyway, hoping for the best. This means a lot. Stay safe! -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated. Jazz site: http://www.didierverna.com Other sites: http://www.didierverna.info

[Onward! Essays] COVID-19 update

by Didier Verna

Dear all, In view of the uncertainties around the COVID-19 pandemic, as an effort to relieve stress on authors: - The SPLASH conference has asked all co-located events to uniformly delay their paper submission deadlines. - The Onward! Essays track submission deadline has been shifted by one month, i.e., to May 23, 2020. The reviewing timeline has also been shifted accordingly. We are currently still planning to hold Onward! as part of SPLASH’20 in November in Chicago. Consult the SPLASH’20 home page for details and updates. Onward! is committed to timely publication of all accepted papers by the originally planned conference date. https://2020.splashcon.org/track/splash-2020-Onward-Essays -- Resistance is futile.

TFM 1.1 "Carolingan Miniscules" is released

by Didier Verna

I'm happy to announce the release of TFM 1.1, a TeX Font Metrics parser library for Common Lisp. This release provides support for font scaling and freezing. Scaling is done, as in TeX, by overriding the font's design size, all other dimensions remaining relative to it. Freezing, on the other hand, converts all relative dimensions into absolute ones, potentially saving a lot of run-time arithmetic computation.

In the presence of hostile observers, on the other hand, one is interested in rendering a system opaque, i.e. making it impossible to detect certain "secret" events. The talk will present some decidability and complexity results for these two problems when the system is represented as a finite automaton or a Petri net. We then also consider the problem of active diagnosis, where the observer has some control over the system. In this context, we study problems such as the computational complexity of the synthesis problem, the memory required for the controller, and the delay between a fault occurrence and its detection by the diagnoser. The talk is based on joint work with B.Bérard, S.Haar, S.Haddad, T.Melliti, and S.Schmitz. -- Stefan Schwoon studied Computer Science at the University of Hildesheim and received a PhD from the Technical University of Munich in 2002. He held the position of Scientific Assistent at the University of Stuttgart from 2002 to 2007, and at the Technical University in Munich from 2007 to 2009. He is currently Associate Professor (Maître de conférences) in the Laboratoire Spécification et Vérification (LSV), ENS Paris-Saclay, and a member of the INRIA team Mexico. His research interests include model checking and diagnosis on concurrent and partially-observable systems. L'entrée du séminaire est libre.

[CfP] Onward! Essays 2020, November 18--20, Chicago, USA

by Didier Verna

Onward! Essays 2020 ACM SIGPLAN International Symposium on New Ideas, New Paradigms, and Reflections on Programming and Software Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel Chicago, USA November 18--20 2020 Part of SPLASH 2020 Systems, Programming Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity https://2020.splashcon.org/track/splash-2020-Onward-essays Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, communities, applications and education. Compared to other conferences, Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open to ideas that are well-argued but not yet proven. It is not looking for research-as-usual papers. To allow room for bigger, bolder and/or less mature ideas, it accepts less exact methods of validation, such as compelling arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial examples. Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community (there is also a parallel Papers track with a seperate announcement). An essay can be an exploration of the topic and its impact, or a story about the circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps the one the author took to reach an understanding of the topic. The subject area—software, programming, and programming languages—should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings. Format and Selection: Onward! essays must describe unpublished work that is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere as described by SIGPLAN's Republication Policy. Submitters should also be aware of ACM's Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism. Onward! essays should use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference acmart format. Please refer to the conference's website above for full details. The Onward! Essays track follows a two-phase review process. Essays are peer-reviewed in a single-blind manner. Accepted essays will appear in the Onward! Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library, and must be presented at the conference. Submissions will be judged on the potential impact of the ideas and the quality of the presentation. Important dates: All deadlines are midnight, anywhere on Earth. Essay submission: 23 April First-round notification: 11 June Second-round submission: 15 July Final notification: 30 July Conference: 18--20 November Programme Committee: Didier Verna, EPITA Research lab, France (Program Chair) Anya Helene Bagge, University of Bergen, Norway Alexandre Bergel, University of Chile Jean Bresson, Ableton, Germany Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert, Université de Montréal, Québec Elisa Gonzalez Boix, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Hidehiko Masuhara, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Kent Pitman, PTC, USA Donya Quick, Stevens Institute of Technology, USA Gordana Rakić, University of Novi Sad, Serbia -- Resistance is futile.
