Haskell Symposium 2014: Call for papers
by Wouter Swierstra 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

=================================================================== ACM SIGPLAN HASKELL SYMPOSIUM 2014 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Gothenburg, Sweden, 4-5 September 2014, directly after ICFP http://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2014 haskell2014(a)easychair.org =================================================================== The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2014 will be colocated with the 2014 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP) in Gothenburg, Sweden. Like last year, the symposium will last 2 days. Thanks to broader participation from a growing community, we will be able to include more regular papers as well as system demonstrations, while upholding the scientific quality of the symposium. The Haskell Symposium seeks to present original research on Haskell, to discuss practical experience and future development of the language, as well as to promote other forms of denotative 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; * 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. Such reports are shorter than regular papers; they are limited to six pages. Papers in the latter two categories need not necessarily report original research results. They may report instead, for example, reusable programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or practical experience that will be useful to other users, implementors, 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 program! 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 (also for other languages where appropriate). In addition, we solicit proposals for * System Demonstrations (no longer than a regular paper talk), based on running (perhaps prototype) software rather than necessarily on novel research results. These proposals should summarize the system capabilities that would be demonstrated. The proposals should explain (and 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 or social. Please contact the program chair with any questions about the relevance of a proposal. Travel Support: =============== Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses. PAC also offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC programme, see its web page (http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm) Proceedings: ============ ACM Press will publish formal proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors must grant ACM publication rights upon acceptance (http://authors.acm.org/main.html) but may retain copyright if they wish. Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their paper (source code, test data, and so forth). The proceedings will be freely available for download from the ACM Digital Library from one week before the start of the conference until two weeks after the conference. Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the symposium web page, but not formally published in the proceedings. Submission Details: =================== Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm) The text should be in a 9-point font in two columns. The length is restricted to 12 pages, except for "Experience Report" papers, which are restricted to 6 pages. Papers need not fill the page limit. Each paper submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as explained on the web. Proposals for system demonstrations are limited to 2-page abstracts, in the same ACM format as papers. "Functional Pearls", "Experience Reports", and "Demo Proposals" should be marked as such with those words in the title at time of submission. The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm. There will be no extensions, and papers violating the length limitations will be summarily rejected. Submission is via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=haskell14 * Abstract submission: Fri 09 May 2014 * Paper submission : Mon 12 May 2014 * Demo submission : Fri 30 May 2014 (prior abstract submission unnecessary) * Author notification: Wed 11 June 2014 * Final papers due : Sun 22 June 2014 All deadlines, except the final papers deadline, are in Standard Samoan Time.

[TFP2014] Final Call For Papers
by Peter Achten 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

--------------------------------- F I N A L C A L L F O R P A P E R S --------------------------------- ======== TFP 2014 =========== 15th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming May 26-28, 2014 Utrecht University Soesterberg, The Netherlands http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/WebHome *** Submission for TFP 2014 is now open: please direct your browser to *** http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/PaperSubmission 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 (see below), described in draft papers submitted prior to the symposium. A formal post-symposium refereeing process then selects a subset of the articles presented at the symposium and submitted for formal publication. Selected revised papers will be published as a Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume. TFP 2014 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming events. The other is the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE). TFPIE will take place on May 25th. Its website is located at http://www.cs.uwyo.edu/~jlc/tfpie14/ The TFP symposium is the heir of the successful series of Scottish Functional Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2003, in Munich (Germany) in 2004, in Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005, in Nottingham (UK) in 2006, in New York (USA) in 2007, in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008, in Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009, in Oklahoma (USA) in 2010, in Madrid (Spain) in 2011, St. Andrews (UK) in 2012 and Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013. For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage. INVITED SPEAKERS TFP is pleased to announce talks by the following two invited speakers: John Hughes of Chalmers, Goteborg, Sweden, is well-known as author of Why Functional Programming Matters, and as one of the designers of QuickCheck (together with Koen Claessen); the paper on QuickCheck won the ICFP Most Influential Paper Award in 2010. Currently he divides his time between his professorship and Quviq, a company that performs property-based testing of software with a tool implemented in Erlang. Dr. Geoffrey Mainland received his PhD from Harvard University where he was advised by Greg Morrisett and Matt Welsh. After a two year postdoc with the Programming Principles and Tools group at Microsoft Research Cambridge, he is now an assistant professor at Drexel University. His research focuses on high-level programming language and runtime support for non-general purpose computation. 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 article categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: Research Articles: leading-edge, previously unpublished research work Position Articles: on what new trends should or should not be Project Articles: descriptions of recently started new projects Evaluation Articles: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project Overview Articles: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Topics suitable for the symposium include: 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 Using functional techniques to reason about imperative/object-oriented programs Debugging 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 article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2014 program chair, Jurriaan Hage at J.Hage(a)uu.nl. BEST PAPER AWARDS To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper accepted for the formal proceedings. 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 listed as first authors, and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then receive both prizes. FINANCIAL SUPPORT TFP is financially supported by the Department of Information and Computing Sciences of Utrecht University, NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research), Well-Typed and Erlang Solutions. PAPER SUBMISSIONS Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a lightweight peer review process of extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (16 pages). The submission must clearly indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate whether the main author or authors are research students. In the case of a FULL STUDENT paper, the draft paper will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has taken place. For the preproceedings, papers can be in any format (inclduing LNCS, IEEE and ACM style), but papers submitted to the postrefereeing process must be in LNCS style, and are bound by the limitations on paper length. We use EasyChair for the refereeing process.

First CFP: Workshop on Generic Programming (WGP) 2014
by José Pedro Magalhães 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

Apologies for multiple postings. ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS WGP 2014 10th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming Gothenburg, Sweden Sunday, August 31, 2014 http://www.wgp-sigplan.org/2014 Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2014) ====================================================================== Goals of the workshop --------------------- Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even programming paradigms. Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to practitioners and to theoreticians, and, for at least 20 years, generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research in the functional and object-oriented programming communities. Generic programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream languages, and today is widely used in industry. This workshop brings together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming from around the world, and features papers capturing the state of the art in this important area. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of * generic programming, * programming with (C++) concepts, * meta-programming, * programming with type classes, * programming with modules, * programming with dependent types, * type systems for generic programming, * polytypic programming, * adaptive object-oriented programming, * component-based programming, * strategic programming, * aspect-oriented programming, * family polymorphism, * object-oriented generic programming, * implementation of generic programming languages, * static and dynamic analyses of generic programs, * and so on. Program Committee ----------------- José Pedro Magalhães (co-chair), University of Oxford Tiark Rompf (co-chair), Oracle Labs & EPFL Peter Achten, Radboud University Nijmegen Nada Amin, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Pierre-Évariste Dagand, INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt Fritz Henglein, University of Copenhagen Andrew Lumsdaine, Indiana University Miles Sabin, Underscore Consulting LLP, Chuusai Ltd. Alexander Slesarenko, Huawei Labs & Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics (KIAM) Anthony M. Sloane, Macquarie University Wouter Swierstra, Utrecht University Meng Wang, Chalmers University of Technology Proceedings and Copyright ------------------------- We plan to have formal proceedings, published by the ACM. Authors must transfer copyright to ACM upon acceptance (for government work, to the extent transferable), but retain various rights (http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright_policy) Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their paper (source code, test data, etc.); they retain copyright of auxiliary material. Submission details ------------------ Deadline for submission: Sunday 2014-05-11 Notification of acceptance: Friday 2014-06-06 Final submission due: Wednesday 2014-06-18 Workshop: Sunday 2014-08-31 Submitted papers should fall into one of two categories: * Regular research papers (12 pages) * Short papers: case studies, tool demos, generic pearls (6 pages) Regular research papers are expected to present novel and interesting research results. Short papers need not present novel or fully polished results. Good candidates for short papers are those that report on interesting case studies of generic programming in open source or industry, present demos of generic programming tools or libraries, or discuss elegant and illustrative uses of generic programming ('pearls'). All submissions should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (two-column, 9pt). Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages. If applicable, papers should be marked with one of the labels 'case study, 'tool demo' or 'generic pearl' in the title at the time of submission. Papers should be submitted via EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wgp2014 Travel Support -------------- Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses. PAC also offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC program, see its web page (http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm) History of the Workshop on Generic Programming ---------------------------------------------- Earlier Workshops on Generic Programming have been held in * Boston, Massachusetts, US 2013 (affiliated with ICFP13), * Copenhagen, Denmark 2012 (affiliated with ICFP12), * Tokyo, Japan 2011 (affiliated with ICFP11), * Baltimore, Maryland, US 2010 (affiliated with ICFP10), * Edinburgh, UK 2009 (affiliated with ICFP09), * Victoria, BC, Canada 2008 (affiliated with ICFP), * Portland 2006 (affiliated with ICFP), * Ponte de Lima 2000 (affiliated with MPC), * Marstrand 1998 (affiliated with MPC).
