----------------------------- C A L L F O R P A P E R S ----------------------------- ======== TFP 2018 =========== 19th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming 11-13 June, 2018 Chalmers Campus Johanneberg, Gothenburg http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~myreen/tfp2018/index.html 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 at scope). Please be aware that TFP uses two distinct rounds of submissions (see below at submission details). TFP 2018 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming events. TFP 2018 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take place on June 14. == 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 High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: Research Articles: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work Position Articles: On what new trends should or should not be Project Articles: Descriptions of recently started new projects Evaluation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 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 article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2018 program chairs, Michał Pałka and Magnus Myreen. == 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. == Paper Submissions == We use EasyChair for the refereeing process. The link to the submission page is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2018 Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed either before or after the Symposium. == Pre-symposium formal review == Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted before an early deadline and receive their reviews and notification of acceptance for both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that has been rejected in this process may still be accepted for presentation at the symposium, but will not be considered 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 receive at the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these articles 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 (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 web site. == Important Dates == Submission (pre-symposium review): March 26, 2018 Submission (draft, post-symposium review): April 26, 2018 Notification (pre- and post-symposium review): May 3, 2018 Registration: June 3, 2018 TFP Symposium: June 11-13, 2018 TFPIE Workshop: June 14, 2018 Student papers feedback: June 21, 2018 Submission (post-symposium review): August 14, 2018 Notification (post-symposium review): September 20, 2018 Camera-ready paper (pre- and post-symposium review): November 30, 2018 == Program Committee == Program Co-chairs Michał Pałka, Chalmers University of Technology (SE) Magnus Myreen, Chalmers University of Technology (SE) Program Committee Soichiro Hidaka, Hosei University (JP) Meng Wang, University of Bristol (UK) Sam Tobin-Hochstadt, Indiana University Bloomington (US) Tiark Rompf, Purdue University (US) Patricia Johann, Appalachian State University (US) Neil Sculthorpe, Nottingham Trent University (UK) Andres Löh, Well-Typed LLP (UK) Tarmo Uustalu, Tallinn University of Technology (EE) Cosmin E.

ACM SIGPLAN SPLASH 2018 November 4-9, 2018 Boston, MA, USA http://2018.splashcon.org The ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) embraces all aspects of software construction, to make it the premier conference at the intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. We invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished work. Combined Call for Contributions: * SPLASH Workshops * PACMPL Issue OOPSLA * Onward! Papers * Onward! Essays * Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) * Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences (GPCE) * Software Language Engineering (SLE) * SPLASH-E * Posters * Doctoral Symposium * Student Research Competition * Student Volunteers ## SPLASH Workshops Following its long-standing tradition, SPLASH 2018 will host a variety of high quality workshops, allowing their participants to meet and discuss research questions with peers, to mature new and exciting ideas, and to build up communities and start new collaborations. SPLASH workshops complement the main tracks of the conference and provide meetings in a smaller and more specialized setting. Workshops cultivate new ideas and concepts for the future, optionally recorded in formal proceedings. Submissions are currently being accepted on “a rolling basis” with 6 out of 15 available slots already filled by the middle of January. The rolling call will close on Sat March 3, 2018. http://2018.splashcon.org/track/splash-2018-Workshops ## PACMPL Issue OOPSLA Papers may target any stage of software development, including requirements, modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, maintenance, and reuse of software systems. Contributions may include the development of new tools (such as language front-ends, program analyses, and runtime systems), new techniques (such as methodologies, design processes, and code organization approaches), new principles (such as formalisms, proofs, models, and paradigms), and new evaluations (such as experiments, corpora analyses, user studies, and surveys). Submissions due: Mon, April 16, 2018 http://2018.splashcon.org/track/splash-2018-OOPSLA ## Onward! Papers Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, communities, and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting on programming language and software engineering research. Submissions due: Mon, April 23, 2018 https://2018.onward-conference.org/track/onward-2018-papers ## Onward! Essays Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community. An essay can be long or short. An essay can be an exploration of the topic and its impact, or a story about the circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps the one the author took to reach an understanding of the topic. The subject area—software, programming, and programming languages—should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings. Submissions due: Mon, April 23, 2018 https://2018.onward-conference.org/track/onward-2018-Onward-Essays ## Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) >From Lisp, Snobol, and Smalltalk to Python, Racket, and Javascript, Dynamic Languages have been playing a fundamental role both in programming research and practice. DLS is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share research and experience on all aspects of Dynamic Languages. DLS invites high quality papers reporting original research and experience related to the design, implementation, and applications of dynamic languages. Submissions due: Sun, July 1, 2018 http://www.dynamic-languages-symposium.org/dls-18/index.html ## Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences (GPCE) The International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts & Experience (GPCE) is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques and tools for code generation, language implementation, and metaprogramming. GPCE seeks conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and technical contributions to its topics of interest, which include but are not limited to (i) program transformation, staging, macro systems, preprocessors, program synthesis, and code-recommendation systems, (ii) domain-specific languages, language embedding, language design, and language workbenches, (iii) feature-oriented programming, domain engineering, and feature interactions, (iv) applications and properties of code generation, language implementation, and product-line development. Abstracts due: Fri, June 29, 2018 Submissions due: Fri, July 6, 2018 http://2018.splashcon.org/track/gpce-2018 ## Software Language Engineering (SLE) Software Language Engineering (SLE) is the discipline of engineering languages and their tools required for the creation of software. It abstracts from the differences between programming languages, modelling languages, and other software languages, and emphasizes the engineering facet of the creation of such languages, that is, the establishment of the scientific methods and practices that enable the best results. SLE 2018 solicits high quality contributions in areas ranging from theoretical and conceptual contributions, to tools, techniques, and frameworks in the domain of software language engineering. Abstracts due: Fri, June 29, 2018 Submissions due: Fri, July 6, 2018 http://2018.splashcon.org/track/sle-2018/papers ## Posters The SPLASH Poster track provides an excellent forum for authors to present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any aspect of programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of the poster session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact at any desired level of detail. To further facilitate, we will also host 15-minute demo sessions for interested presenters. The poster session and demo presentations are held early in the conference to promote continued discussion among interested parties. Submissions due: Sat, September 22, 2018 http://2018.splashcon.org/track/splash-2018-Posters ## Doctoral Symposium The SPLASH Doctoral Symposium provides students with useful guidance for completing their dissertation research and beginning their research careers.

PARIS workshop @ FLoC 2018 : Programming And Reasoning on Infinite Structures (First CfP)
by David Baelde 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Programming And Reasoning on Infinite Structures A workshop affiliated with FSCD@FLOC 2018 July 7&8, 2018 Oxford, UK Developing formal methods to program and reason about infinite data, whether inductive or coinductive, is challenging and subject to numerous recent research efforts. The understanding of the logical and computational principles underlying these notions is reaching a mature stage as illustrated by the numerous advances that have appeared in the recent years. Various examples of this can be viewed in recent works on co-patterns, infinite proof systems for logics with induction and coinduction, circular proofs, guarded recursive type theory, research effort on integrated coinduction in proof assistants, concrete semantics of coinductive computation, recent developments in infinitary rewriting, or the unveiling of the Curry-Howard correspondence between temporal logics and functional reactive programming, to name a few. The workshop aims at gathering researchers working on these topics as well as colleagues interested in understanding the recent results and open problems of this line of research: - For outsiders, the workshop will offer tutorial sessions and survey-like invited talks. - For specialists of the topic, the workshop will permit to gather people working with syntactical or semantical methods, people focusing on proof systems or programming languages, and foster exchanges and discussions benefiting from their various perspectives. We are seeking for short submissions (~3-4 pages long) presenting (i) new completed results (ii) work in progress, or (iii) advertising recently published results. The workshop is affiliated with FSCD 2018, as part of the Federated Logic Conference of 2018 and is funded by French ANR, RAPIDO project. ** Important dates and submission details: Submissions: April 15 Notification: May 15 Final abstract: May 25 Workshop: July 7 and 8 Submission page: http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paris18 Website: https://www.irif.fr/~saurin/RAPIDO/PARIS-2018/ ** Program Committee: Andreas Abel (Gothenburg University) David Baelde (LSV, ENS Paris-Saclay & Inria Paris; co-chair) Amina Doumane (LIP, ENS Lyon) Martin Lange (University of Kassel) Rasmus Møgelberg (IT University of Copenhagen) Luke Ong (University of Oxford) Andrew Polonsky (Appalachian State University) Colin Riba (LIP, ENS Lyon) Alexis Saurin (IRIF, Université Paris Diderot; co-chair) Alex Simpson (University of Ljubljana) ** Invited speakers: A tutorial and two invited talks will be announced shortly. ** Topics: Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for the workshop are: - Proof systems: proof system for logics with least and greatest fixed points, infinitary and cyclic/circular proof systems - Calculi: infinitary rewriting, infinitary λ-calculi, co-patterns - Type systems: infinitary type systems, guarded recursive type theory - Curry-Howard correspondence to linear temporal logic and functional reactive programming - Semantics: denotational and interactive semantics for infinite data and computations - Tools: extensions of programming languages and proof assistants to better treat infinite data, results on extending programming languages with primitives for manipulating infinite data such as streams in a more structured and convenient way, coinductive proof methods in proof assistants - Proof theory and verification: the workshop will welcome works demonstrating how proof-theoretical investigations can be applied to model-checking problems, e.g. as in recent studies of higher-order recursive schemes or infinitary proofs.

Mathematically Structured Functional Programming 2018: Call for Papers
by Robert Atkey 02 Mar '18

02 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. We are using EasyChair to manage submissions. To submit a paper, use this link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=msfp2018.
