Mathematically Structured Functional Programming 2018: Final Call for Papers
by Robert Atkey 31 Mar '18

31 Mar '18

Seventh Workshop on MATHEMATICALLY STRUCTURED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING Sunday 8th July 2018, Oxford, UK A satellite workshop of FSCD 2018 http://msfp2018.bentnib.org/ ** New this time: additional talk proposal category ** ** Deadline: 5th April (abstract), 12th April (paper) ** The seventh workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming is devoted to the derivation of functionality from structure. It is a celebration of the direct impact of Theoretical Computer Science on programs as we write them today. Modern programming languages, and in particular functional languages, support the direct expression of mathematical structures, equipping programmers with tools of remarkable power and abstraction. Where would Haskell be without monads? Functional reactive programming without temporal logic? Call-by-push-value without adjunctions? The list goes on. This workshop is a forum for researchers who seek to reflect mathematical phenomena in data and control. The first MSFP workshop was held in Kuressaare, Estonia, in July 2006, affiliated with MPC 2006 and AMAST 2006. The second MSFP workshop was held in Reykjavik, Iceland as part of ICALP 2008. The third MSFP workshop was held in Baltimore, USA, as part of ICFP 2010. The fourth workshop was held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012. The fifth workshop was held in Grenoble, France, as part of ETAPS 2014. The sixth MSFP Workshop was held in April 2016, in Eindhoven, Netherlands, just after ETAPS 2016. Important Dates: ================ Abstract deadline: 5th April (Thursday) Paper deadline: 12th April (Thursday) Notification: 17th May (Thursday) Final version: 14th June (Thursday) Workshop: 8th July (Sunday) Invited Speakers: ================= - Tamara von Glehn, University of Cambridge, UK - Didier Remy, INRIA, France Program Committee: ================== Andreas Abel - Chalmers, Sweden Danel Ahman - INRIA Paris, France Robert Atkey - University of Strathclyde, UK (co-chair) Jeremy Gibbons - University of Oxford, UK Jennifer Hackett - University of Nottingham, UK Mauro Jaskelioff - Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina Shin-ya Katsumata - National Institute of Informatics, Japan Sam Lindley - University of Edinburgh, UK (co-chair) Clare Martin - Oxford Brookes University, UK Shin-Cheng Mu - Academia Sinica, Taiwan Valeria de Paiva - Nuance Communications, US Alexandra Silva - University College London, UK Submission: =========== Submissions are welcomed on, but by no means restricted to, topics such as: structured effectful computation structured recursion structured corecursion structured tree and graph operations structured syntax with variable binding structured datatype-genericity structured search structured representations of functions structured quantum computation structure directed optimizations structured types structure derived from programs and data Please contact the programme chairs Robert Atkey and Sam Lindley if you have any questions about the scope of the workshop. (New this time) We accept two categories of submission: full papers of no more than 15 pages that will appear in the proceedings, and extended abstracts of no more than 2 pages which we will post on the website, but which do not constitute formal publications and will not appear in the proceedings. References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices may not be read by reviewers. Full papers (not two page talk abstracts) must report previously unpublished work and not be submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings. Accepted papers and talks must be presented at the workshop by at least one of the authors. The proceedings will be published under the auspices of EPTCS with a Creative Commons license.

Call for Talks -- Haskell Implementors' Workshop
by Joachim Breitner 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Call for Contributions ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Implementors’ Workshop https://icfp18.sigplan.org/track/hiw-2018-papers Co-located with ICFP 2018 St. Louis, Missouri, US https://conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-2018 Important dates --------------- Proposal Deadline: Friday, 20 July, 2018 Notification: Friday, 3 August, 2018 Workshop: Sunday, 23 September, 2018 Keynote speaker --------------- This year, the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop is proud to present Rahul Muttineni as the keynote speaker. Rahul brough the joys of Haskell to the realm of Java by creating the Eta programming language. About the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop ---------------------------------------- The 10th Haskell Implementors’ Workshop is to be held alongside ICFP 2018 this year in St. Louis. It is a forum for people involved in the design and development of Haskell implementations, tools, libraries, and supporting infrastructure, to share their work and discuss future directions and collaborations with others. Talks and/or demos are proposed by submitting an abstract, and selected by a small program committee. There will be no published proceedings. The workshop will be informal and interactive, with open spaces in the timetable and room for ad-hoc discussion, demos and lightning talks. Scope and Target Audience ------------------------- It is important to distinguish the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop from the Haskell Symposium which is also co-located with ICFP 2018. The Haskell Symposium is for the publication of Haskell-related research. In contrast, the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop will have no proceedings – although we will aim to make talk videos, slides and presented data available with the consent of the speakers. The Implementors’ Workshop is an ideal place to describe a Haskell extension, describe works-in-progress, demo a new Haskell-related tool, or even propose future lines of Haskell development. Members of the wider Haskell community encouraged to attend the workshop – we need your feedback to keep the Haskell ecosystem thriving. Students working with Haskell are specially encouraged to share their work. The scope covers any of the following topics. There may be some topics that people feel we’ve missed, so by all means submit a proposal even if it doesn’t fit exactly into one of these buckets: * Compilation techniques * Language features and extensions * Type system implementation * Concurrency and parallelism: language design and implementation * Performance, optimisation and benchmarking * Virtual machines and run-time systems * Libraries and tools for development or deployment Talks ----- We invite proposals from potential speakers for talks and demonstrations. We are aiming for 20-minute talks with 5 minutes for questions and changeovers. We want to hear from people writing compilers, tools, or libraries, people with cool ideas for directions in which we should take the platform, proposals for new features to be implemented, and half-baked crazy ideas. Please submit a talk title and abstract of no more than 300 words. Submissions can be made via HotCRP at https://icfp-hiw18.hotcrp.com/ until July 20th (anywhere on earth). We will also have lightning talks session. These have been very well received in recent years, and we aim to increase the time available to them. Lightning talks be ~7mins and are scheduled on the day of the workshop. Suggested topics for lightning talks are to present a single idea, a work-in-progress project, a problem to intrigue and perplex Haskell implementors, or simply to ask for feedback and collaborators. Program Committee ----------------- * Edwin Brady (University of St. Andrews, UK) * Joachim Breitner – chair (University of Pennsylvania) * Ben Gamari (Well-Typed LLP) * Michael Hanus (Kiel University) * Roman Leshchinsky (Facebook) * Niki Vazou (University of Maryland) Contact ------- * Joachim Breitner <joachim(a)cis.upenn.edu> -- Joachim Breitner mail(a)joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/

[Call for Contributions] Haskell Communities and Activities Report, May 2018 edition (34th edition)
by Mihai Maruseac 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Dear all, We would like to collect contributions for the 34th edition of the ============================================================ Haskell Communities & Activities Report http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_Communities_and_Activities_Report Submission deadline: 30 April 2018 (please send your contributions to hcar at haskell.org, in plain text or LaTeX format, both are equally accepted) ============================================================ This is the short story: * If you are working on any project that is in some way related to Haskell, please write a short entry and submit it. Even if the project is very small or unfinished or you think it is not important enough --- please reconsider and submit an entry anyway! * If you are interested in an existing project related to Haskell that has not previously been mentioned in the HCAR, please tell us, so that we can contact the project leaders and ask them to submit an entry. * If you are working on a project that is looking for contributors, please write a short entry and submit it, mentioning that your are looking for contributors. * Feel free to pass on this call for contributions to others that might be interested. More detailed information: The Haskell Communities & Activities Report is a bi-annual overview of the state of Haskell as well as Haskell-related projects over the last, and possibly the upcoming six months. If you have only recently been exposed to Haskell, it might be a good idea to browse the previous edition --- you will find interesting projects described as well as several starting points and links that may provide answers to many questions. Contributions will be collected until the submission deadline. They will then be compiled into a coherent report that is published online as soon as it is ready. As always, this is a great opportunity to update your webpages, make new releases, announce or even start new projects, or to talk about developments you want every Haskeller to know about! Looking forward to your contributions, Mihai Maruseac FAQ: Q: What format should I write in? A: The usual format is a LaTeX source file, adhering to the template that is available at: http://haskell.org/communities/11-2017/template.tex There is also a LaTeX style file at http://haskell.org/communities/11-2017/hcar.sty that you can use to preview your entry. If you do not know LaTeX or don't want to use it or don't have time to translate your entry into it, then please use plain text, it is better to have an entry in plain-text which we will translate than not have it at all. If you modify an old entry that you have written for an earlier edition of the report, you should soon receive your old entry as a template (provided we have your valid email address). Please modify that template, rather than using your own version of the old entry as a template. Q: Can I include Haskell code? A: Yes. Please use lhs2tex syntax (http://www.andres-loeh.de/lhs2tex/) The report is compiled in mode polycode.fmt. Q: Can I include images? A: Yes, you are even encouraged to do so. Please use .jpg or .png format, then. PNG is preferred for simplicity. Q: Should I send files in .zip archives or similar? A: No, plain file attachments are the way. Q: How much should I write? A: Authors are asked to limit entries to about one column of text. A general introduction is helpful. Apart from that, you should focus on recent or upcoming developments. Pointers to online content can be given for more comprehensive or "historic" overviews of a project. Images do not count towards the length limit, so you may want to use this opportunity to pep up entries. There is no minimum length of an entry! The report aims for being as complete as possible, so please consider writing an entry, even if it is only a few lines long. Q: Which topics are relevant? A: All topics which are related to Haskell in some way are relevant. We usually had reports from users of Haskell (private, academic, or commercial), from authors or contributors to projects related to Haskell, from people working on the Haskell language, libraries, on language extensions or variants. We also like reports about distributions of Haskell software, Haskell infrastructure, books and tutorials on Haskell. Reports on past and upcoming events related to Haskell are also relevant. Finally, there might be new topics we do not even think about. As a rule of thumb: if in doubt, then it probably is relevant and has a place in the HCAR. You can also simply ask us. Q: Is unfinished work relevant? Are ideas for projects relevant? A: Yes! You can use the HCAR to talk about projects you are currently working on. You can use it to look for other developers that might help you. You can use HCAR to ask for more contributors to your project, it is a good way to gain visibility and traction. Q: If I do not update my entry, but want to keep it in the report, what should I do? A: Tell us that there are no changes. The old entry will typically be reused in this case, but it might be dropped if it is older than a year, to give more room and more attention to projects that change a lot. Do not resend complete entries if you have not changed them. Q: Will I get confirmation if I send an entry? How do I know whether my email has even reached its destination, and not ended up in a spam folder? A: Prior to publication of the final report, we will send a draft to all contributors, for possible corrections. So if you do not hear from us within two weeks after the deadline, it is safer to send another mail and check whether your first one was received. -- Mihai Maruseac (MM) "If you can't solve a problem, then there's an easier problem you can solve: find it." -- George Polya

23 Mar '18

*WPTE 2018 **CALL FOR PAPERS** * *5th International Workshop on Rewriting Techniques for Program Transformations and Evaluation* Affiliated with FLoC 2018 <http://www.floc2018.org> and FSCD 2018 <http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/events/fscd2018> in Oxford, July 8. http://researchers.lille.inria.fr/niehren/WPTE-2018/main.html About WPTE The aim of WPTE is to bring together the researchers working on program transformations, evaluation, and operationally based programming language semantics, using rewriting methods, in order to share the techniques and recent developments and to exchange ideas to encourage further activation of research in this area. Topics of Interest * Correctness of program transformations, optimizations and translations. * Program transformations for proving termination, confluence and other properties. * Correctness of evaluation strategies. * Operational semantics of programs, operationally-based program equivalences such as contextual equivalences and bisimulations. * Cost-models for arguing about the optimizing power of transformations and the costs of evaluation. * Program transformations for verification and theorem proving purposes. * Translation, simulation, equivalence of programs with different formalisms, and evaluation strategies. * Program transformations for applying rewriting techniques to programs in specific programming languages. * Program transformations for program inversions and program synthesis. * Program transformation and evaluation for Haskell and Rewriting.

Paper Selection and Proceedings Contributions to WPTE'2018 For the paper submission deadline an extended abstract of at most 10 pages is required to be submitted. The extended abstract may present original work or also work in progress. Based on the submissions the program committee will select the presentations for the workshop. All selected contributions will be included in the informal proceedings distributed to the workshop participants. One author of each accepted extended abstract is expected to present it at the workshop. Submissions must be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS macro package (http://style.eptcs.org/) Extended abstract submission to WPTE'2018 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpte2018> is handled by easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpte2018. Formal Proceedings As in previous years, we intend to publish WPTE post-proceedings of selected papers by the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/) For this, full papers must be submitted until the post-proceedings deadline. The authors of all presented contributions will have the opportunity (but no obligation) to submit a full paper for the formal post-proceedings. These must represent original work and should not be submitted to another conference at the same time. Full-papers should not exceed 15 pages. The submission deadline for these post-proceedings will be after the workshop in September 2018. There will be a second round of reviewing for selecting papers to be published in the formal proceedings. Important Dates * Submission of extended abstracts: April 15, 2018 * Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2018 * Final version for proceedings deadline: May 30, 2018 * Workshop: July 8, 2018 * Submission to postproceedings: September 2018
