ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Data-Centric Programming (at POPL) - talk proposal deadline extended to 22nd Nov
by Jeremy.Gibbons＠cs.ox.ac.uk 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Data-Centric Programming 2014 ----------------------------------------------------- DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22 - CONTRIBUTIONS ARE 2 PAGES Please consider submitting to this great workshop Colocated with POPL, January 25, 2014 | San Diego, USA http://research.microsoft.com/DCP2014 Submission: November 22, 2013 Notification: December 4, 2013 We're very pleased to announce DCP 2014, an exciting workshop which builds on the success of the Data-Driven Functional Programming (DDFP) workshop at POPL 2013. This workshop is for anyone who loves the application of functional programming (and indeed other programming paradigms as well) to data-rich domains. Please consider submitting to the workshop - whatever your flavor of data, whatever your flavor of data-centric programming. We want this to be a great event that opens up opportunities at the intersection of data and programming. Functional programming techniques are increasingly important in data-centric programming: languages like Haskell, Scala, and C# draw heavily on a range of functional techniques and find application in numerous data-driven domains; paradigms like map/reduce and its extensions lie at the core of modern scalable data processing; and "information-rich" languages like Ur, F#, and Gosu use meta-programming to integrate type-safe queries, web-based APIs, and scalable data sources - along with associated semantically-rich metadata - into the programming language. In principle, the expressiveness, strong typing, and core functional paradigm of these languages make them an ideal choice for expressing robust and scalable data-centric programming. On the other end, the web of data is growing at an enormous pace, with few dedicated software applications capable of dealing efficiently in information-rich spaces. Reasons for that include one (or more) of the following research issues: lack of integrated development environments (IDEs, such as Visual Studio and Eclipse), poor programming language support, lack of standard testbeds and/or benchmarks, inadequate training, and perhaps the need for curriculum revision. Properly addressing these issues requires interdisciplinary skills, and the collaboration between academia and industry. Many challenges remain. Workshop Goals -------------- This workshop invites submissions that explore the gap between today's data management challenges, particularly the ones related to dealing with large amounts of semantically rich data, and the lack of adequate tools. We are looking for contributions that discuss, promote and further advance the programming of semantically-rich data including the development of new languages, extension of existing ones, and the inclusion of semantic-enabled capabilities into existing IDEs. In this forum, we will discuss, promote, and advance the use of data-centric programming in information-rich data spaces - including the development of new programming and data-manipulation systems as well as the extension of existing ones. By devising methods for handling data from the programming level, we can promote the research and development of better data-centric programming technologies as a whole, as well as facilitate the shift towards both principled and effective data-centric computing. Talk Proposals -------------- We want DCP to be as informal and interactive as possible. The program will thus involve a combination of invited talks, contributed talks about work in progress, and open-ended discussion sessions. There will be no published proceedings, but participants will be invited to submit working documents, talk slides, etc. to be posted on the workshop website. We invite proposals for talks in any area related to the connection between programming and data, including, but not limited to: * Formal systems that capture the essential theoretical elements of data-centric programming * Experimental systems that demonstrate novel data-centric programming techniques * Technology that demonstrates correctness, scalability, productivity, robustness, or maintainability of data-centric programs * Schema evolution, schema-type mapping, query languages, probabilistic programming, network-connected programming, or semi-structured data * Programming-related aspects of knowledge representation techniques including database theory, ontology techniques, and linked data * Impact of specific application areas (e.g. e-science, e-gov, sensors) on information-rich application design * Data exploration and visualization * Evaluation of data quality * Plugins and IDEs for information-rich application development * Cleaning and provenance of data, services, and processes Talks about work in progress are particularly encouraged. If you have any questions about the relevance of a particular topic, please contact the PC chairs at the address dcp.2014(a)lambda-calcul.us . We solicit proposals for contributed talks. Proposals should be at most 2 pages, in either plain text or PDF format. We plan to allocate 30-minute talk slots; but proposals for shorter or longer talks will also be considered. Speakers may also submit supplementary material (e.g. a full paper, talk slides) if they desire, which PC members are free (but not expected) to read.

20 Nov '13

[Haskellers definitely welcome! Kevin] EAPLS PhD Award 2013: Call for Nominations ======================================== URL: http://eapls.org/pages/phd_award/ Since a few years, the European Association for Programming Languages and Systems has established a Best Dissertation Award in the international research area of programming languages and systems. The award will go to the PhD student who in the previous period has made the most original and influential contribution to the area. The purpose of the award is to draw attention to excellent work, to help the career of the student in question, and to promote the research field as a whole. Eligibility ----------- Eligible for the award are those who successfully defended their PhD * at an academic institution in Europe * in the field of Programming Languages and Systems * in the period from 1 November 2012 –- 1 November 2013 Nominations ----------- Candidates for the award must be nominated by their supervisor. Nominating a candidate consists of submitting the thesis to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?confêplsphd2013. The nomination must be accompanied by (a zip file containing) * a letter from the supervisor describing why the thesis should be considered for the award; * a report from an independent researcher who has acted as examiner of the thesis at its defense. The theses will be evaluated with respect to originality, influence, relevance to the field and (to a lesser degree) quality of writing. Procedure --------- The nominations will be evaluated and compared by an international committee of experts from across Europe. The procedure to be followed is analogous to the review phase of a conference. The justification by the supervisor and the external report will play an important role in the evaluation. Members of the expert committee are barred from nominating their own PhD students for the award. The award consists of a certificate announcing the winner to have received the EAPLS PhD award 2013. The supervisor will receive a copy of this certificate. If possible, the certificate will be handed out ceremonially at a suitable occasion, as for instance the ETAPS conference. Apart from the winner, no further ranking of nominees will be published. The decision of the expert committee is final and binding, and will not be subject to discussion.

ANNOUNCE: Haskell Pdf Presenter (hpdfp) 0.2.2
by Michael D. Adams 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

ANNOUNCE: Haskell Pdf Presenter (hpdfp) 0.2.2 I'm pleased to announce the first public release of the Haskell Pdf Presenter (hpdfp). Project home page: http://michaeldadams.org/projects/haskell-pdf-presenter/ Project on Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskell-pdf-presenter/ Project repository: http://michaeldadams.org/repos-pub/hg/haskell-pdf-presenter/ What it is ========== The Haskell Pdf Presenter (hpdfp) is a tool for presenting PDF-based slide shows. For example, as a presenter, I like to see the next slide before it is shown to the audience as well as how much allotted time remains. I was never quite satisfied with the existing tools for this, so I wrote my own and hpdfp is the result. Though I originally wrote it for my own use, the tool has matured over time, and I now wish to share it with others. Aside from being a useful tool, I think hpdfp is a good example of elegance and economy in program design. Despite being only a thousand lines long, this program is full of features that may not be obvious at first glance so please be sure to look at the available help. Status ====== I've been using this tool in my own talks for over a year now, and it is fairly stable and feature complete. I've only tested it on Ubuntu so I don't know if it ports to other platforms. I'd love to hear any field reports about how it runs on other platforms. Future Directions ================= I have a long TODO list of ideas I may implement in the future, but most development has been driven by the practical considerations that I discover as I use the tool. If you have a use case for a particular feature, please let me know. ================ Feature requests, bug reports, suggestions or feedback as well as contributions to the documentation or implementation are most welcome. Michael D. Adams

ANNOUNCE: Haskell Communities and Activities Report (25th ed., November 2013)
by Janis Voigtlaender 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

On behalf of all the contributors, we are pleased to announce that the Haskell Communities and Activities Report (25th edition, November 2013) is now available, in PDF and HTML formats: http://haskell.org/communities/11-2013/report.pdf http://haskell.org/communities/11-2013/html/report.html Many thanks go to all the people that contributed to this report, both directly, by sending in descriptions, and indirectly, by doing all the interesting things that are reported. We hope you will find it as interesting a read as we did. If you have not encountered the Haskell Communities and Activities Reports before, you may like to know that the first of these reports was published in November 2001. Their goal is to improve the communication between the increasingly diverse groups, projects, and individuals working on, with, or inspired by Haskell. The idea behind these reports is simple: Every six months, a call goes out to all of you enjoying Haskell to contribute brief summaries of your own area of work. Many of you respond (eagerly, unprompted, and sometimes in time for the actual deadline) to the call. The editors collect all the contributions into a single report and feed that back to the community. When we try for the next update, six months from now, you might want to report on your own work, project, research area or group as well. So, please put the following into your diaries now: ======================================== End of April 2014: target deadline for contributions to the May 2014 edition of the HC&A Report ======================================== Unfortunately, many Haskellers working on interesting projects are so busy with their work that they seem to have lost the time to follow the Haskell related mailing lists and newsgroups, and have trouble even finding time to report on their work. If you are a member, user or friend of a project so burdened, please find someone willing to make time to report and ask them to "register" with the editors for a simple e-mail reminder in October (you could point us to them as well, and we can then politely ask if they want to contribute, but it might work better if you do the initial asking). Of course, they will still have to find the ten to fifteen minutes to draw up their report, but maybe we can increase our coverage of all that is going on in the community. Feel free to circulate this announcement further in order to reach people who might otherwise not see it. Enjoy! Mihai Maruseac and Janis Voigtlaender <hcar at haskell.org>

Fake Conferences CSCI and WORLDCOMP of Hamid Arabnia Hamid Arabnia from University of Georgia is well known for his fake WORLDCOMP conferences https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 or https://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf Hamid Arabnia understood that he cannot deceive researchers anymore using his WORLDCOMP. Hamid Arabnia (Guru of Fake Conferences and champion of academic scam) has recently started 2014 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI'14) http://www.americancse.org to deceive researchers further. CSCI'14 is started under the title of “American Council on Science and Education” which is a dummy corporation (does not exist anywhere in the world). Hamid Arabnia buried his name in the list of names of other innocent steering and program committee members of CSCI’14 to avoid any special attention. He knows that if his name is given any special attention then researchers immediately know that the conference is fake due to his “track record” with WORLDCOMP. Hamid Arabnia (the money hungry beast) spoiled the reputations and careers of many authors and committee members involved in his infamous WORLDCOMP for more than a decade and he is now ready to do the same using CSCI. Interestingly, CSCI is scheduled to be held at the same venue where WORLDCOMP was held until 2012. Hamid Arabnia claimed that CSCI proceedings will be published by IEEE but no one knows if IEEE really publishes. Many scholars have already sent emails to IEEE protesting for the unethical behavior of Hamid Arabnia and for the new series of his bogus conferences CSCI. CSCI paper submission deadline will be extended multiple times as usual. Do not spoil your resume by submitting your papers in this bogus conference CSCI which will not be held beyond 2014. Sincerely, Many researchers cheated by Hamid Arabnia conferences

Hi. There's a new monthly Haskell meeting in Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. Tomorrow will be our third meeting, and the first one with a Haskell talk: Tuesday, 12 November 2013 20:00 Plan 9, Werftstraße 15, 93059 Regensburg There'll be a short presentation by Martin Ruderer on how to solve problems such as the n-queens problem in Haskell. In addition, there's time for informal discussions and drinks. Everyone who's interested in Haskell is welcome. No actual knowledge of Haskell is expected or required. We'll speak German and/or English, depending on who's going to be there. If you'd like to get updates about future Regensburg Haskell meetings or vote on when we meet next, please join our mailing list at http://lists.binary-kitchen.de/listinfo/haskell If you have any questions and for some reason don't want to join the mailing list, you can also email me :) Hope to see many of you tomorrow. Cheers, Andres
