The Fourth International Valentin Turchin Workshop on Metacomputation (META 2014) will be held in June 29 - July 3, 2014, in an ancient Russian town Pereslavl-Zalessky, on the bank of Pleshcheevo lake, in Ailamazyan Program Systems Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences.

This workshop belongs to a series of biannual workshops devoted to the memory of Valentin Turchin (1931-2010) and aims to bring together researchers working in the areas of program analysis and program manipulation, collectively referred to as metacomputation: supercompilation, partial evaluation, distillation, mixed computation, generalized partial computation, slicing, verification, as well as cross-fertilization with other modern research and development directions, and their applications.

The proceedings will be published at a local publishing house before the workshop. They will be made accessible in electronic form via Internet.

The previous workshops in this series were META 2008, META 2010, and META 2012.

Notice that in June 24-27, 2014, Ershov Informatics Conference "Perspectives of system informatics" (PSI 2014) will be held, which is the only high-ranked international conference on our subject in Russia. (Notice that the dates of META 2014 are chosen so as to allow the participants of META to attend PSI as well, departing from PSI and arriving to META in the same day.)

Possible topics include (but are not limited to)

  • Distillation
  • Generalized partial computation
  • Mixed computation
  • Partial evaluation
  • Program inversion
  • Program slicing
  • Program verification techniques including theorem proving and testing
  • Supercompilation
  • Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects
  • Tool descriptions, case studies, tutorials, surveys and problem statements on these topics
