[ANN] Ogma 1.10.0
by Ivan Perez 04 Nov '25

04 Nov '25

Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to announce the release of Ogma 1.10.0! NASA's Ogma is a mission assurance tool that generates robotics and flight applications. Use cases supported by Ogma include producing Robot Operating System (ROS 2) packages [3], NASA Core Flight System (cFS) applications [4], and components for FPrime [1] (the software framework used for the Mars Helicopter). Ogma is also one of the solutions recommended for monitoring in Space ROS applications [2]. Ogma is fully written in Haskell, and leverages existing Haskell work, like the Copilot language [5] (also funded by NASA) and BNFC [6]. For more details, including videos of monitors being generated and flown in simulators, see: https://github.com/nasa/ogma * What's changed This major release includes the following improvements: - Ogma is now released under Apache license. - Fix several small errors in cFS template. - Fix bug in ROS 2 template generation when handlers have no arguments. - Install ROS 2 package locally in generated Dockerfile. - Add examples demonstrating ROS 2, cFS. - Add CI action for cFS test. - Fix several other smaller maintenance issues. For details about the release, see: https://github.com/nasa/ogma/releases/tag/v1.10.0 * Releases Ogma is released as a collection of packages in Hackage. The entry point is https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ogma-cli. It is also available in new releases of Ubuntu and Debian (testing), from the official package repositories of those distros; thanks to Scott Talbert and the rest of the Debian Haskell Group. * Code The github repo is located at: https://github.com/nasa/ogma. * What's coming The next release is planned for Nov 21st, 2025. We are currently working on a GUI for Ogma that facilitates collecting all mission data relative to the design, diagrams, requirements and deployments, and help users refine designs and requirements, verify them for correctness, generate monitors and full applications, follow live missions, and produce reports. We also want to remind users that both Ogma and Copilot can now accept contributions from external users, and we are also keen to see students use them for their school projects, their final projects and theses, and other research. If you are interested in collaborating, please reach out to ivan.perezdominguez(a)nasa.gov. We hope that you are as excited as we are and that our work demonstrates that, with the right support, Haskell can reach farther than we ever thought possible. Happy Haskelling!

Jeremy Avigad to give this year's LMS/BCS-FACS Evening Seminar -- 6 November 2025, online via Zoom
by Andrei Popescu 03 Nov '25

03 Nov '25

Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to announce that this year’s London Mathematical Society (LMS) / British Computer Society -- Formal Aspects of Computing Science (BCS-FACS) Evening Seminar will feature Jeremy Avigad as the distinguished speaker. Registration is free but required in advance. Date: 6 November 2025 Time: 19:00 (UK time) Format: Online via Zoom Talk title: Mathematics in the Age of AI Jeremy’s website: https://lnkd.in/ep3w-fiB Registration (for access to the Zoom link) is available here: https://lnkd.in/eRE-Bb2A Further details about the talk are included below Best wishes, Andrei Speaker: Jeremy Avigad (Carnegie Mellon University) Title: Mathematics in the Age of AI Abstract: New technologies for reasoning and discovery are bound to have a profound effect on mathematical practice. Proof assistants are already changing the nature of collaboration, communication, and curation of mathematical knowledge. Automated reasoning tools are used to find mathematical objects with specified properties or rule out their existence, and to decide or verify mathematical claims. Machine learning and neural methods can discover patterns in mathematical data, explore complex mathematical spaces, and generate mathematical objects of interest. Neurosymbolic theorem provers, now capable of solving the most challenging competition problems, combine aspects of all of these technologies. It is helpful to keep in mind that the phrase "AI for mathematics" encompasses several distinct technologies that overlap and interact in interesting ways. In this talk, I will survey the landscape, describe a few landmark applications to mathematics, and encourage you to join me in thinking about how mathematicians and computer scientists can collaborate to guide mathematics through this era of technological change. Bio: Jeremy Avigad is a professor in the Department of Philosophy and the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. He is the director of the Institute for Computer-Aided Reasoning in Mathematics, a new NSF Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and the director of the Hoskinson Center for Formal Mathematics, a research center at Carnegie Mellon. He has contributed to mathematical logic and the history and philosophy of mathematics, and he is currently working on applications of formal methods and AI to mathematics. He serves on the Lean Community Admin Team and the board of the Lean Focused Research Organization.

[TFP 2026] 2nd Call for Papers for the 27th International Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming, Odense, Denmark, January 27-30 2026
by Peter Achten 30 Oct '25

30 Oct '25

# TFP 2026 - Second Call for Papers (trendsfp.github.io) ## Important Dates Submission deadline (pre-symposium, full papers): Thu 13th Nov 2025 (AOE) Notification (pre-symposium, full papers): Thu 11th Dec 2025 Submission deadline (pre-symposium draft papers): Thu 11th Dec 2025 (AOE) Notification (pre-symposium draft papers): Fri 19th Dec 2025 Symposium: Tue 27th Jan - Thu 30th Jan 2026 (TFPiE 26th Jan 2025) Submission deadline (post-symposium review): Thu 5th Mar 2026 (AOE) Notification (post-symposium submissions): Thu 16th Apr 2026 The Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions. This year, TFP will take place in-person at the University of Southern Denmark, in Odense, Denmark. It is co-located with the Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE) workshop, which will take on the day before the main symposium. Please be aware that TFP has several submission deadlines. The first, 13th November, is for authors who wish to have their full paper reviewed prior to the symposium. Papers that are accepted in this way must also be presented at the symposium. The second, 11th December, is for authors who wish to present their work or work-in-progress at the symposium first without submitting to the full review process for publication. These authors can then take into account feedback received at the symposium and submit a full paper for review by the third deadline, 5th March. ## Scope The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the following five paper categories. High-quality submissions are solicited in any of these categories: * Research Papers: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work * Position Papers: On what new trends should or should not be * Project Papers: Descriptions of recently started new projects * Evaluation Papers: What lessons can be drawn from a finished project * Overview Papers: Summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject Papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted for publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Topics suitable for the symposium include, but are not limited to: * Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing * Functional programming in the cloud * High performance functional computing * Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs * Dependently typed functional programming * Validation and verification of functional programs * Debugging and profiling for functional languages * Functional programming in different application areas: security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded systems, global computing, grids, etc. * Interoperability with imperative programming languages * Novel memory management techniques * Program analysis and transformation techniques * Empirical performance studies * Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages * (Embedded) domain specific languages * New implementation strategies * Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area If you are in doubt on whether your paper is within the scope of TFP, please contact the programme chair, Casper Bach. ## Best Paper Awards TFP awards two prizes for the best papers each year. First, to reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best overall paper accepted for the post-conference formal proceedings. Second, each year TFP also awards a prize for the best student paper. TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students, acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are the paper's first authors, and a student would present the paper. In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, then that paper will receive both prizes. ## Student and Early Career Scholarships Our sponsors have generously offered to fund seven scholarships of DKK 3000 (approximately USD 460) to cover expenses in connection with traveling to and staying in Denmark in connection with the conference. Information on how to apply for these scholarships will be available soon on https://trendsfp.github.io/ ## Instructions to Authors Submission is via HotCRP: https://tfp26.hotcrp.com/ Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed either before or after the Symposium. Further, pre-symposium submissions may either be full (earlier deadline) or draft papers (later deadline). ## Pre-symposium formal review Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted before the early deadline and will receive their reviews and notification of acceptance for both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that has been rejected for publication but accepted for presentation may be revised and resubmitted for the post-symposium formal review. ## Post-symposium formal review Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance for presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised papers based on the feedback received at the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these papers for formal publication. ## Paper categories Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted as extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (up to 20 pages). The submission must clearly indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A draft paper for which all authors are students will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has taken place. ## Format Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS Guidelines web site (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) ## Organizing Committee Casper Bach University of Southern Denmark, DK Programme Chair Jeremy Gibbons University of Oxford, UK General Chair Jason Hemann Seton Hall University, US Conference Chair Peter Achten Radboud University Nijmegen, NL Publicity Chair Marco T.
