Announce: Haskell Platform 8.4.2
by Gershom B 05 May '18

05 May '18

On behalf of the Haskell Platform team, I'm happy to announce the release of Haskell Platform 8.4.2 Now available at https://www.haskell.org/platform/ This includes GHC 8.4.2, cabal-install 2.2.0.0, and stack 1.7.1, all with substantial improvements since the last platform release. A full list of contents is available at https://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html Thanks to all the contributors to this release, thanks to all the package and tool maintainers and authors, and a big thanks to the GHC team for all their hard work. There are (still) currently no 32 bit Windows builds available. We're looking into the issues preventing us from building an installer for that platform. The components all appear to work individually in such a case, and can be installed separately by users who so desire. A list of new GHC changes is available at: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/ghc-8.4.1-released and https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/ghc-8.4.2-released A list of cabal changes is available at: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install-2.2.0.0/changelog The cabal documentation page is at: https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/ A list of stack changes is at: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/ChangeLog/#v171 The stack documentation page is at: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/ Happy Haskell Hacking all, Gershom

Second round call for papers: LOPSTR 2018
by David Sabel 02 May '18

02 May '18

====================================================================== LOPSTR 2018: Second Round Call for Papers ====================================================================== 28th International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation LOPSTR 2018 http://ppdp-lopstr-18.cs.uni-frankfurt.de/index.html Frankfurt, Germany, September 4-6, 2018 (co-located with PPDP 2018 and WFLP 2018) The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international research and collaboration on logic-based program development. LOPSTR is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively, friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress. Formal proceedings are produced only after the symposium so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers. The 28th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2018) will be held at the Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Previous symposia were held in Siena, Canterbury, Madrid, Leuven, Odense, Hagenberg, Coimbra, Valencia, Lyngby, Venice, London, Verona, Uppsala, Madrid, Paphos, London, Venice, Manchester, Leuven, Stockholm, Arnhem, Pisa, Louvain-la-Neuve, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Namur. LOPSTR 2018 will be co-located with PPDP 2018 (International Symposium on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming) and WFLP 2018 (International Workshop on Functional and Logic Programming). Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large. Both full papers and extended abstracts describing applications in these areas are especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of logic-based program development, including, but not limited to: * synthesis * transformation * specialization * composition * optimization * inversion * specification * analysis and verification * testing and certification * program and model manipulation * transformational techniques in SE * applications and tools Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective, and application papers that describe experience with industrial applications are also welcome. Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chairs in case of questions). In order to more closely follow previous LOPSTR timelines, we have added an additional round of paper submission at a more usual time for LOPSTR. Papers submitted in the first round may already be accepted before this round, while rejected papers from the first round can be resubmitted. Important Dates Abstract submission: June 26, 2018 Paper/Extended abstract submission: June 30, 2018 Notification: July 30, 2018 Camera-ready (for electronic pre-proceedings): August 15, 2018 Symposium: September 4-6, 2018 Submission Guidelines Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in English) in PDF, formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style. Each submission must include on its first page the paper title; authors and their affiliations; contact author's email; abstract; and three to four keywords which will be used to assist the PC in selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. Submissions cannot exceed 15 pages including references but excluding well-marked appendices not intended for publication. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them. Papers should be submitted via the Easychair submission website for LOPSTR 2018. Best Paper Award and Prize A best paper award will be granted, which will include a 500 EUR prize provided by Springer. This award will be given to the best paper submitted to the conference, based on the relevance, originality, and technical quality. The program committee may split the award among two or more papers, also considering authorship (e.g., student paper). Invited Talks LOPSTR/PPDP: Philippa Gardner, Imperial College - formal methods for JavaScript LOPSTR/PPDP: Jorge Navas, SRI International - SeaHorn and constrained horn clauses for verification LOPSTR: Laure Gonnord, University of Lyon - expressivity and scalability of program analysis PPDP: Chung-Chieh Shan, Indiana University - probabilistic programming Proceedings The formal post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Full papers can be directly accepted for publication in the formal proceedings, or accepted only for presentation at the symposium and inclusion in informal proceedings. After the symposium, all authors of extended abstracts and full papers accepted only for presentation will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the symposium. Then, after another round of reviewing, these revised papers may also be published in the formal proceedings.

by Jurriaan Hage 01 May '18

01 May '18

Hello, Please, find below the third call for papers for IFL 2018. Please forward these to anyone you think may be interested. Apologies for any duplicates you may receive. best regards, Jurriaan Hage Publicity Chair of IFL --- ============================================================ ==================== IFL 2018 30th Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages University of Massachusetts Lowell, MA, USA September 5th-7th, 2018 http://iflconference.org ============================================================ ==================== ### Scope The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2018 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming. Topics of interest to IFL include, but are not limited to: - language concepts - type systems, type checking, type inferencing - compilation techniques - staged compilation - run-time function specialization - run-time code generation - partial evaluation - (abstract) interpretation - metaprogramming - generic programming - automatic program generation - array processing - concurrent/parallel programming - concurrent/parallel program execution - embedded systems - web applications - (embedded) domain specific languages - security - novel memory management techniques - run-time profiling performance measurements - debugging and tracing - virtual/abstract machine architectures - validation, verification of functional programs - tools and programming techniques - (industrial) applications ### Keynote Speakers * Adam Chlipala, Massachusetts Institute of Technology CSAIL * Arjun Guha, University of Massachusetts Amherst ### Submissions and peer-review Differently from previous editions of IFL, IFL 2018 solicits two kinds of submissions: * Regular papers (12 pages including references) * Draft papers for presentations ('weak' limit between 8 and 15 pages) Regular papers will undergo a rigorous review by the program committee, and will be evaluated according to their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity. A set of regular papers will be conditionally accepted for publication. Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with committee reviews along with a set of mandatory revisions. Regular papers not accepted for publication will be considered as draft papers, at the request of the author. Draft papers will be screened to make sure that they are within the scope of IFL, and will be accepted for presentation or rejected accordingly. Prior to the symposium: Authors of conditionally accepted papers and accepted presentations will submit a pre-proceedings version of their work that will appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the symposium. The draft proceedings does not constitute a formal publication. We require that at least one of the authors present the work at IFL 2018. After the symposium: Authors of conditionally accepted papers will submit a revised versions of their paper for the formal post-proceedings. The program committee will assess whether the mandatory revisions have been adequately addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final accept/reject status of the paper. Our interest is to ultimately accept all conditionally accepted papers. If you are an author of a conditionally accepted paper, please make sure that you address all the concerns of the reviewers. Authors of accepted presentations will be given the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full article for the formal post-proceedings. The program committee will evaluate these submissions according to their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity, and will thereby determine whether the paper is accepted or rejected. ### Publication The formal proceedings will appear in the International Conference Proceedings Series of the ACM Digital Library. At no time may work submitted to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication ### Important dates Submission of regular papers: May 25, 2018 Submission of draft papers: July 17, 2018 Regular and draft papers notification: July 20, 2018 Deadline for early registration: August 8, 2018 Submission of pre-proceedings version: August 29, 2018 IFL Symposium: September 5-7, 2018 Submission of papers for post-proceedings: November 7, 2018 Notification of acceptance: December 22, 2018 Camera-ready version: February 10, 2019 ### Submission details All contributions must be written in English. Papers must use the ACM two columns conference format, which can be found at: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Authors submit through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifl2018 ### Peter Landin Prize The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the symposium every year. The honored article is selected by the program committee based on the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros. ### Organization and Program committee Chairs: Jay McCarthy & Matteo Cimini, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA Program Committee: * Arthur Chargueraud, Inria, FR * Ben Delaware, Purdue University, USA * Christos Dimoulas, Northwestern University, USA * David Darais, University of Vermont, USA * Dominic Orchard, University of Kent, UK * Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Heriot-Watt University, UK * Garrett Morris, University of Kansas, USA * Heather Miller, EPFL & Northeastern University, CH & USA * Jeremy Yallop, University of Cambridge, UK * Keiko Nakata, SAP Innovation Center Potsdam, DE * Laura Castro, University of A Coruna, ESP * Magnus Myreen, Chalmers University of Technology, SWE * Natalia Chechina, Bournemouth University, UK * Peter Achten, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, NL * Peter-Michael Osera, Grinnell College, USA * Richard Eisenberg, Bryn Mawr College, USA * Trevor McDonell, University of New South Wales, AUS * Yukiyoshi Kameyama, University of Tsukuba, JAP ### Venue The 30th IFL is organized by the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
