Call for Papers: ACM Workshop on Functional Software Architecture
by Michael Sperber 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

====================================================================== *** FUNARCH 2024 -- CALL FOR PAPERS *** Second ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Functional Software Architecture - FP in the Large 6th September 2025, Milan, Italy Co-located with ICFP 2024 https://functional-architecture.org/events/funarch-2024/ ====================================================================== TIMELINE: Paper submission 3rd June 2024 Author notification 30th June 2024 Camera ready copy 18th July 2024 Workshop 6th Sept 2024 BACKGROUND: "Functional Software Architecture" refers to methods of construction and structure of large and long-lived software projects that are implemented in functional languages and released to real users, typically in industry. The goals for the workshop are: - To assemble a community interested in software architecture techniques and technologies specific to functional programming; - To identify, categorize, and document topics relevant to the field of functional software architecture; - To connect the functional programming community to the software architecture community to cross-pollinate between the two. The workshop follows on from the Functional Software Architecture open space that was held at ICFP 2022 in Slovenia. SCOPE: The workshop seeks submissions in a range of categories: - You're a member of the FP community and have thought about how to support programming in the large, for example by framing functional ideas in architectural terms or vice verse, comparing different languages in terms of their architectural capabilities, clarifying architectural roles played by formal methods, proof assistants and DSLs, or observing how functional concepts are used in other language and architecture communities. Great, submit a research paper! - You're a member of the architecture community, and have thought about how your discipline might help functional programmers, for example by applying domain-driven design, implementing hexagonal architecture, or designing self-contained systems. Excellent, submit a research paper! - You've worked on a large project using functional programming, and it's worked out well, or terribly, or a mix of both; bonus points for deriving architectural principles from your experience. Wonderful, submit an experience report! - You know a neat architectural idiom or pattern that may be useful to others developing large functional software systems. Fabulous, submit an architectural pearl! - You have something that doesn't fit the above categories, but that still relates to functional software architecture, such as something that can be written up, or that could be part of the workshop format like a panel debate or a fishbowl. Superb, submit to the open category! Research papers should explain their research contributions in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work, and to other languages where appropriate. Experience reports and architectural pearls need not necessarily report original research results. The key criterion for such papers is that they make a contribution from which others can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a large software system, or to present ideas that are specific to a particular system. Open category submissions that are not intended for publication are not required to follow the formatting guidelines, and can submit in PDF, word or plain text format as preferred. Not knowing what kinds of submissions we will receive, we cannot be specific as to how they will be evaluated. However, submissions that seem likely to stimulate discussion around practices in functional architecture are encouraged. If you are unsure whether your contribution is suitable, or if you need any kind of help with your submission, please email the program chairs at <funarch2024(a)easychair.org>. Papers must be submitted by 3rd June 2024 using the EasyChair submission page: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=funarch2024 Formatting: submissions intended for publication must be in PDF format and follow the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines, using the acmart format and the sigplan sub-format. Please use the review option when submitting, as this enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews. For further details, see SIGPLAN's author information: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format If your submission is not a research paper, please mark this using a subtitle (Experience Report, Architectural Pearl, Open Category). Length: submissions must adhere to the limits specified below. However, there is no requirement or expectation that all pages are used, and authors are encouraged to strive for brevity. Research papers 5 to 12+ pages Architectural pearls 5 to 12 pages Experience reports 3 to 6 pages Open category 1 to 6 pages Publication: The proceedings of FUNARCH 2024 will be published in the ACM Digital Library, and authors of accepted papers are required to agree to one of the standard ACM licensing options. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors, but in special cases we may consider remote presentation. The official publication date is the date the papers are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. PROGRAM CHAIRS: Mike Sperber (Active Group, Germany) Perdita Stevens (University of Edinburgh, UK) PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Annette Bieniusa (University of Kaiserslautern) Jeffrey Young (IOG) Will Crichton (Brown University) Isabella Stilkerich (Schaeffler Technologies AG) Kiko Fernandez-Reyes (Ericsson) Ryan Scott (Galois) Satnam Singh (Groq) Facundo Dominguez (Tweag) Ilya Sergey (University of Singapore) Martin Elsman (University of Copenhagen) Benjamin Pierce (University of Pennsylvania) Matthew Flatt (University of Utah) Nada Amin (Harvard University) Richard Eisenberg (Jane Street) WORKSHOP VENUE: The workshop will be co-located with the ICFP 2024 conference at the Fiera Milano Congressi, Milan, Italy.

CFP: Haskell Symposium 2024
by J. Garrett Morris 12 Mar '24

12 Mar '24

The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2024 will be co-located with the 2024 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). The Haskell Symposium presents original research on Haskell, discusses practical experience and future development of the language, and promotes other forms of declarative programming. Topics of interest include: - *Language design,* with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of Haskell as well as critical discussions of the status quo; - *Theory,* such as formal semantics of the present language or future extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and foundations for program analysis and transformation; - *Implementations,* including program analysis and transformation, static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed architectures, memory management, as well as foreign function and component interfaces; - *Libraries,* that demonstrate new ideas or techniques for functional programming in Haskell; - *Tools,* such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors, and testing tools; - *Applications,* to scientific and symbolic computing, databases, multimedia, telecommunication, the web, and so forth; - *Functional Pearls,* being elegant and instructive programming examples; - *Experience Reports,* to document general practice and experience in education, industry, or other contexts; - *Tutorials,* to document how to use a particular language feature, programming technique, tool or library within the Haskell ecosystem; - *System Demonstrations,* based on running software rather than novel research results. Regular papers should explain their research contributions in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work, and to other languages where appropriate. *New this year*, talk proposals need not be full-length, and should report work in progress relevant to Haskell language design, theory, tools, or applications. Talk proposals will be evaluated by the PC for novelty and relevance to the Haskell community, but are not expected to include finished results. Talk proposals will not be distributed to attendees, but authors of talk proposals may provide links to materials to be included on the program. Experience reports and functional pearls need not necessarily report original academic research results. For example, they may instead report reusable programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or practical experience that will be useful to other users, implementers, or researchers. The key criterion for such a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other Haskellers can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a standard solution to a standard programming problem, or report on experience where you used Haskell in the standard way and achieved the result you were expecting. Like an experience report and a functional pearl, tutorials should make a contribution from which other Haskellers can benefit. What distinguishes a tutorial is that its focus is on explaining an aspect of the Haskell language and/or ecosystem in a way that is generally useful to a Haskell audience. Tutorials for many such topics can be found online; the distinction here is that by writing it up for formal review it will be vetted by experts and formally published. System demonstrations should summarize the system capabilities that would be demonstrated. The proposals will be judged on whether the ensuing session is likely to be important and interesting to the Haskell community at large, whether on grounds academic or industrial, theoretical or practical, technical, social or artistic. Please contact the program chair with any questions about the relevance of a proposal. If your contribution is not a research paper, please mark the title of your experience report, functional pearl, tutorial or system demonstration as such, by supplying a subtitle (Talk Proposal, Experience Report, Functional Pearl, Tutorial Paper, System Demonstration). Submission Details Formatting Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Authors should use the acmart format, with the sigplan sub-format for ACM proceedings. For details, see: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format It is recommended to use the review option when submitting a paper; this option enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews. Talk proposals, functional pearls, experience reports, tutorials and demo proposals should be labelled clearly as such. Lightweight Double-blind Reviewing Haskell Symposium 2024 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules: - Author names and institutions must be omitted, and - References to authors’ own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work” but rather "We build on the work of "). The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. A reviewer will learn the identity of the author(s) of a paper after a review is submitted. Page Limits The length of submissions should not exceed the following limits: - *Regular paper:* 12 pages - *Talk proposals:* 6 pages - *Functional pearl:* 12 pages - *Tutorial:* 12 pages - *Experience report:* 6 pages - *Demo proposal:* 2 pages There is no requirement that all pages are used. For example, a good talk proposal might be two pages, and a functional pearl may be much shorter than 12 pages. In all cases, the list of references is not counted against these page limits. Deadlines - *Paper submission:* 3 June 2024 (Mon) - *Notification:* 5 July 2024 (Fri) - *Camera-ready Deadline:* 18 July 2024 (Thu) Deadlines are end of day Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12) <https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe>. Submission Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN’s republication policy <http://sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/>, and authors should be aware of ACM’s policies on plagiarism <https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism>. Program Committee members are allowed to submit papers, but their papers will be held to a higher standard. The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm. There will be no extensions, and papers violating the length limitations will be summarily rejected. Papers should be submitted through HotCRP at: https://haskell24.hotcrp.com/ Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the submission deadline using the same web interface. *Supplementary material:* Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material should not be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it should be uploaded as a separate PDF document or tarball. Supplementary material should be uploaded at submission time, not by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository. Authors can distinguish between anonymized and non-anonymized supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s). *Resubmitted Papers:* authors who submit a revised version of a paper that has previously been rejected by another conference have the option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to see how his/her comments have been addressed, the conference chair will communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of the previous reviews. Proceedings Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Their authors will be required to choose one of the following options: - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive permission-to-publish license (and, optionally, licenses the work with a Creative Commons license); - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive permission-to-publish license; - Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM. For more information, please see ACM Copyright Policy <http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy> and ACM Author Rights <http://authors.acm.org/main.html>. Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the symposium website but not formally published in the proceedings. *Publication date:* The official publication date of accepted papers is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. Artifacts Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make auxiliary material (artifacts like source code, test data, etc.) available with their paper. They can opt to have these artifacts published alongside their paper in the ACM Digital Library (copyright of artifacts remains with the authors). If an accepted paper’s artifacts are made permanently available for retrieval in a publicly accessible archival repository like the ACM Digital Library, that paper qualifies for an Artifacts Available badge ( https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging#available) Applications for such a badge can be made after paper acceptance and will be reviewed by the PC chair.

11 Mar '24

ICFP 2024 CALL FOR TUTORIAL, PANEL, AND DISCUSSION PROPOSALS 29th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming https://icfp24.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2024-tutorials September 2 - 7, 2024 Milan, Italy https://icfp24.sigplan.org/ <https://icfp23.sigplan.org/> The 29th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will be held in Milan, Italy on September 2 - 7, 2024, with the option of virtual participation. ICFP provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. Proposals are invited for tutorials, lasting approximately 3 hours each, to be presented during ICFP and its co-located workshops and other events. The tutorials may target an audience who is interested in commercial uses of functional programming, but we also welcome tutorials whose primary audience is researchers rather than practitioners. Tutorials may focus either on a concrete technology or on a theoretical or mathematical tool. Ideally, tutorials will have a concrete result, such as "Learn to do X with Y" rather than "Learn language Y". Just like last year, following the success of the #ShutDownPL event, we are also inviting proposals for panels and discussions on topics of broader interest to the PL community. Tutorials, panels, and discussions may occur before or after ICFP, co-located with the associated workshops, on September 2 or September 6-7. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission details Deadline for submission: May 24, 2024 Notification of acceptance: May 27, 2024 Prospective organizers of tutorials are invited to submit a completed tutorial proposal form in plain text format to the ICFP 2024 workshop co-chairs (Yannick Forster and Chandrakana Nandi), via email to yannick.forster(a)inria.fr and chandra(a)certora.com by May 24rd, 2024. Please note that this is a firm deadline. The proposal form is available at: http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2024-files/icfp24-panel-form.txt <http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2023-files/icfp23-panel-form.txt> http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2024-files/icfp24-tutorials-form.txt <http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2023-files/icfp23-tutorials-form.txt> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Selection committee The proposals will be evaluated by a committee comprising the following members of the ICFP 2024 organizing committee, together with the members of the SIGPLAN executive committee.

I’d like to take over `bzlib` package (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bzlib) I’ve contacted the package maintainer (Duncan Coutts, CC'd) by email twice in Aug 2023 and Oct 2023, but never heard back. Earlier Duncan granted me rights for `tar` and `zlib` packages, so I imagine he is just exceedingly busy. `bzlib` package has been on life support by Hackage Trustees for many years with a fork maintained at https://github.com/hackage-trustees/bzlib. While I can do another non-maintainer upload in my Trustee hat, I’d like to seek a more permanent solution and maintain `bzlib` back to its canonical home at https://github.com/haskell/bzlib (which I already have access to). I do not plan any drastic changes. The immediate cause of this request is HSEC-2024-0002 (https://github.com/haskell/security-advisories/pull/157, https://github.com/hackage-trustees/bzlib/issues/4) which identifies a security vulnerability in `bzlib`, thus raising a need for urgent update.

[ANN] Copilot 3.19
by Ivan Perez 08 Mar '24

08 Mar '24

Hi everyone!! We are very excited to announce Copilot 3.19 [2]. Copilot is a stream-based EDSL in Haskell for writing and monitoring embedded C programs, with an emphasis on correctness and hard realtime requirements. Copilot is typically used as a high-level runtime verification framework, and supports temporal logic (LTL, PTLTL and MTL), clocks and voting algorithms. Copilot is being used at NASA in drone test flights. Through the NASA tool Ogma [1] (also written in Haskell), Copilot also serves as a runtime monitoring backend for NASA's Core Flight System, Robot Operating System (ROS2), and FPrime (the software framework used in the Mars Helicopter) applications. This release drastically increases the test coverage of copilot-core. We also remove deprecated functions from copilot-core that had been renamed in prior versions to comply with our style guide. I'd also like to highlight major changes that were released in Copilot 3.18.1, which was not broadly announced: the C backend now produces code that complies with MISRA C, we've introduced testing infrastructure for copilot-libraries and copilot-theorem, fixed an issue with how arrays are generated internally when used as arguments to triggers, fixed several bugs related to testing, introduce compatibility with GHC 9.6, and introduce a new function forAll to void clashes with the language keyword forall, which is needed to be compatible with GHC >= 9.8 in future versions. As always, we're releasing exactly 2 months since the last release. Our next release is scheduled for May 7th, 2024. Current emphasis is on improving the codebase in terms of stability and test coverage, removing unnecessary dependencies, hiding internal definitions, and formatting the code to meet our new coding standards. We also plan to add extensions to the language to be able to updates arrays and structs. Users are encouraged to participate by opening issues and asking questions via our github repo [3]. Happy Haskelling! Ivan [1] https://github.com/nasa/ogma [2] https://github.com/Copilot-Language/copilot/releases/tag/v3.19 [3] https://github.com/Copilot-Language/copilot [4] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/copilot

[ANN] Agda-2.6.4.3
by Andreas Abel 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

Agda 2.6.4.3 has been released to replace the deprecated 2.6.4.2. Changes over Agda 2.6.4.2 are two fixes: - [Issue #7148](https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/7148): Regression in 2.6.4.2 concerning `with` - [Issue #7150](https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/7150): Regression in 2.6.4 in `rewrite` with instances # GHC supported versions Agda 2.6.4.3 has been tested with GHC 9.8.1, GHC 9.6.4, 9.4.8, 9.2.8, 9.0.2, 8.10.7, 8.8.4 and 8.6.5 on Linux, macOS and Windows. # Installation Agda 2.6.4.3 can be installed using cabal-install or stack: 1. Getting the release candidate $ cabal get https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Agda-2.6.4.3/Agda-2.6.4.3.tar.gz $ cd Agda-2.6.4.3 2. a. Using cabal-install $ cabal install -f +optimise-heavily -f +enable-cluster-counting 2. b. Using stack $ stack --stack-yaml stack-a.b.c.yaml install --flag Agda:optimise-heavily --flag Agda:enable-cluster-counting replacing `a.b.c` with your version of GHC. The flags mean: - optimise-heavily: Turn on extra optimisation for a faster Agda. Takes large resources during compilation of Agda. - enable-cluster-counting: Enable unicode clusters for alignment in the LaTeX backend. Requires the ICU lib to be installed and known to pkg-config. These flags can be dropped from the install if causing trouble. # Standard library You can use standard library v1.7.3, v2.0 or the `master` branch of the standard library with Agda 2.6.4.3. This branch is available at https://github.com/agda/agda-stdlib/ # Fixed issues over Agda 2.6.4.2 https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Agda-2.6.4.3/changelog Enjoy Agda! Report problems and regressions to: https://github.com/agda/agda/issues Andreas, on behalf of the Agda Developers

2024 Haskell Ecosystem Workshop, June 6-7, co-located with Zurihac
by Jose Calderon 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Hello, In this two-day event, held on the lakeside campus of OST in lovely Rapperswil, Switzerland, you can learn what you need to know in order to get started working on these tools. We’ve asked the presenters to identify ‘good first issues’ for those wanting to get their feet wet on contributing. Because the workshop is immediately prior to Zurihac 2024, you will have the opportunity to tackle one of these issues while the core developers are easily available! The following speakers have been confirmed, with more to follow: Michael Peyton Jones: Haskell Language Server Julian Ospald: GHCUp Richard Eisenberg: GHC Alan Zimmerman: ghc-exactprint Hécate: Haddock and Documentation There will also be experts on ecosystem-wide issues (e.g. Security), in order to facilitate conversations about how to address cross-cutting issues in our tooling ecosystem. We will update the list of confirmed speakers as we receive confirmation. Registration is via eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2024-haskell-ecosystem-workshop-tickets-851066… More details on the Haskell Foundation website: https://haskell.foundation/events/2024-haskell-ecosystem-workshop.html I hope to see you there! -Jose
