02 Jan '20

========================================================================== WST 2020 - Call for Papers 17th International Workshop on Termination http://costa.fdi.ucm.es/wst2020 July 4-5, 2020, Paris, France co-located with IJCAR and FSCD 2020. ========================================================================== The Workshop on Termination (WST) traditionally brings together, in an informal setting, researchers interested in all aspects of termination, whether this interest be practical or theoretical, primary or derived. The workshop also provides a ground for cross-fertilization of ideas from the different communities interested in termination (e.g., working on computational mechanisms, programming languages, software engineering, constraint solving, etc.). The friendly atmosphere enables fruitful exchanges leading to joint research and subsequent publications. The workshop is co-located with IJCAR and FSCD 2020. https://ijcar2020.org/ https://fscd2020.org/ IMPORTANT DATES: * submission deadline: April 12, 2020 * notification: May 10, 2020 * final version due: May 31, 2020 * workshop: July 4-5, 2020 TOPICS: The 17th International Workshop on Termination welcomes contributions on all aspects of termination. In particular, papers investigating applications of termination (for example in complexity analysis, program analysis and transformation, theorem proving, program correctness, modeling computational systems, etc.) are very welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * abstraction methods in termination analysis * certification of termination and complexity proofs * challenging termination problems * comparison and classification of termination methods * complexity analysis in any domain * implementation of termination methods * non-termination analysis and loop detection * normalization and infinitary normalization * operational termination of logic-based systems * ordinal notation and subrecursive hierarchies * SAT, SMT, and constraint solving for (non-)termination analysis * scalability and modularity of termination methods * termination analysis in any domain (lambda calculus, declarative programming, rewriting, transition systems, etc.) * well-founded relations and well-quasi-orders COMPETITION: Since 2003, the catalytic effect of WST to stimulate new research on termination has been enhanced by the celebration of the Termination Competition and its continuously developing problem databases containing thousands of programs as challenges for termination analysis in different categories, see http://termination-portal.org/wiki/Termination_Competition In 2020, the Termination Competition will run shortly before WST and the main venues (IJCAR-FSCD), and the results will be presented at IJCAR or FSCD.

Call for Papers - XXIV Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP 2020) Natal, Brazil, September 21-25, 2020 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2020 SBLP 2020 is the 24th edition of the Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages. It is promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and constitutes a forum for researchers, students and professionals to present and discuss ideas and innovations in the design, definition, analysis, implementation and practical use of programming languages. SBLP's first edition was in 1996. Since 2010, it is part of CBSoft, the Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice. Submission Guidelines ________________________________________________________________________________ Papers can be written in Portuguese or English. Submissions in English are encouraged because the proceedings will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of its authors will register for the symposium to present it. Papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. SBLP 2020 will use a lightweight double-blind review process. The manuscripts should be submitted for review anonymously (i.e., without listing the author’s names on the paper) and references to own work should be made in third person. Papers must be submitted electronically (in PDF format) via the Easychair System: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2020 The following paper categories are welcome (page limits include figures, references and appendices): Full papers: up to 8 pages long in ACM 2-column conference format, available at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Short papers: up to 3 pages in the same format. Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development or can report partial results of on-going dissertations or theses. List of Topics (related but not limited to the following) ________________________________________________________________________________ • Programming paradigms and styles, scripting and domain-specific languages and support for real-time, service-oriented, multi-threaded, parallel, and distributed programming • Program generation and transformation • Formal semantics and theoretical foundations: denotational, operational, algebraic and categorical • Program analysis and verification, type systems, static analysis and abstract interpretation • Programming language design and implementation, programming language environments, compilation and interpretation techniques Publication ________________________________________________________________________________ SBLP proceedings will be published in ACM's digital library. As in previous editions, authors of selected regular papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to be considered for publication in a journal's special issue.

A Generic Ordering over Types
by Justin Paston-Cooper 29 Dec '19

29 Dec '19

Hello, I've defined a module which defines a Data.Type.Ordering over types which are instances of Generic: https://github.com/jpcooper/generic-type-ordering/blob/master/src/Data/Type…. I was considering submitting it to Hackage if anyone finds this useful. I am using it in conjunction with Data.Type.Set (type-level-sets), which requires an ordering over the used types. The ordering works by first comparing the package, then the module, then the type name. I take it that the ordering as defined is correct over all types which are an instance of Generic. I wanted to check first whether this is done anywhere else, or in a different, better way. Can anyone advise? Cheers, Justin

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Which is easier to ship on windows, a gi-gtk or fltk-hs project?

I would prefer to not. Conceptually that is a harder sell as there is not a good technical reason to depend on webstuff apart of inconvenience. Also TeX compilation should be done on a web service if it's on the web (I think). This is a side project, which for me it's a opportunity to learn something new. That is right now shipping programs to windows that use bindings and depend on other programs. -- -- Rubén -- pgp: 4EE9 28F7 932E F4AD

Which is easier to ship on windows, a gi-gtk or fltk-hs project?
by Ruben Astudillo 25 Dec '19

25 Dec '19

Dear list Currently for work I am doing a technical document generator using HaTex. The user primarily uses windows so I would like to ship to it. He is not a technical user, so a GUI is a must. FLTK is lighter than gtk but it seems the community has less experience shipping haskell GUIs with it on windows than with gi-gtk. So which toolkit binding would you use for a windows project? Also how would you ship such a project, which depends on a toolkit and TeX-engine on windows? I am used to a nix world-view. -- -- Rubén -- pgp: 4EE9 28F7 932E F4AD

[ANN] ascii-holidays
by amindfv＠gmail.com 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

For those of you celebrating Christmas this week, I've just uploaded an early version of the ascii-holidays package to Hackage. At the moment it's a reimplementation of two ASCII art Christmas tree animations, one originally written in Bash and the other in Perl. Over time I plan to add animations for other holidays as well. You can install it with cabal install, then run it like: ascii-holidays xmas-1 I hope this adds a bit of Haskelly Christmas cheer to a few homes, and happy holidays to all! Tom

Records, type-changing update, type inference
by Roman 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

I wrote a post about the records problem, in particular about type-changing update and how to get it without sacrificing type inference: https://github.com/effectfully/sketches/tree/master/has-lens-done-right The ideas are rather raw, but look promising to me. Any comments would be appreciated.

by Jurriaan Hage 20 Dec '19

20 Dec '19

Hello, Please, find below the third call for draft papers for TFPIE 2020. Please forward these to anyone you think may be interested. Apologies for any duplicates you may receive. best regards, Jurriaan Hage Chair of TFPIE 2020 ======================================================================== TFPIE 2020 Call for papers http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hage0101/tfpie2020/index.html February 12th 2020, Krakow, Poland (co-located with TFP 2020 and Lambda Days) *NEW* Invited Speaker We are happy to announce the invited speaker for TFPIE 2020, Thorsten Altenkirch, who also speaks at Lambda Days. At TFPIE 2020 he shall be talking about his new book, Conceptual Programming With Python. *NEW* Registration This year TFPIE takes place outside of the Lambda Days/TFP organisation, although it takes place near their location. This means you do need to register separately for TFPIE; it also means you can register for TFPIE without registering for TFP/LambdaDays, and vice versa. Registration is mandatory for at least one author of every paper that is presented at the workshop. Only papers that have been presented at TFPIE may be submitted to the post-reviewing process. Registration is 25 euro per person. TFPIE 2020 welcomes submissions describing techniques used in the classroom, tools used in and/or developed for the classroom and any creative use of functional programming (FP) to aid education in or outside Computer Science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: FP and beginning CS students FP and Computational Thinking FP and Artificial Intelligence FP in Robotics FP and Music Advanced FP for undergraduates FP in graduate education Engaging students in research using FP FP in Programming Languages FP in the high school curriculum FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics FP and Philosophy The pedagogy of teaching FP FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc. Best Lectures - more details below In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. What's your best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to present FP concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture topics will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. The length of the presentation should be comparable to that of a paper. On top of the lecture itself, the presentation can also provide commentary on the lecture. Submissions Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages) or a draft paper (up to 20 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available on the workshop's website. Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2020 . After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit (a revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best articles that will be published in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC. Dates Submission deadline: January 14th 2020, Anywhere on Earth. Notification: January 17th 2020 TFPIE Registration Deadline: January 20th 2020 Workshop: February 12th 2020 Submission for formal review: April 19th 2020, Anywhere on Earth.
