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. Current methodologies and software development technologies should be revised in order to produce software to meet system-oriented goals, while preserving high internal code quality. The role of the Software Engineer is essential, having to be aware of the implications that each design, architecture and implementation decision has on the application-system ecosystem.

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.


##Topics of Interest

The PASS workshop solicits full papers reporting on research results or experience reports, as well as position papers presenting new ideas. Areas of interest include but are not limited to (see our homepage for more detailed list):

* Energy-aware software engineering

* Modularity support

* Emerging platforms

* Security support

* Software architecture for reusability and adaptability

* Empirical studies (patterns and anti-patterns)

* Balancing the trade-off between internal code quality and efficiency

* Program optimization across modular boundaries


##Submission Guidelines

We welcome papers that identify new problems or report work in progress. A good PASS submission should be interesting, concrete, and clear. It does not need to describe a complete solution.

PASS accepts the following submission categories:

* Regular papers: up to 6 pages,

* Position papers: up to 2 pages,

* Posters: one page extended abstract or a poster draft.

All submissions should follow the ACM SIGPLAN format with font size 9pt. Submissions can be made through Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=passecoop19
