Coimbra is a historical city and a municipality in Portugal. Among the many archaeological structures dating back to the Roman era, when Coimbra was the settlement of Aeminium, are its well-preserved aqueduct and cryptoporticus. Similarly, buildings from the period when Coimbra was the capital of Portugal (from 1131 to 1255) still remain. During the late Middle Ages, with its decline as the political centre of the Kingdom of Portugal, Coimbra began to evolve into a major cultural centre. This was in large part helped by the establishment of the University of Coimbra in 1290, the oldest academic institution in the Portuguese-speaking world. Apart from attracting many European and international students, the university is visited by many tourists for its monuments and history. Its historical buildings were classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2013: "Coimbra offers an outstanding example of an integrated university city with a specific urban typology as well as its own ceremonial and cultural traditions that have been kept alive through the ages." Its atmospheric, beautiful historic core cascades down a hillside in a lovely setting on the east bank of the Rio Mondego: it's a multicoloured collage of buildings spanning nearly a millennium. The conference take place in the environment of technology startups and laboratories within the installations of Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN). IPN is created in 1991 through a University of Coimbra initiative, Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN)2 is a private non-profit organization which promotes innovation and the transfer of technology, establishing the connection between the scientific and technological environment and the production sector. IPN mission is to leverage a strong university - enterprise relationship for the promotion of innovation, rigor, quality and entrepreneurship in private and public sector organizations by acting in three complementary areas: Research and technological development, consultancy and specialized services; Incubation and acceleration of businesses and ideas; Highly specialized training and promotion of science and technology. In the year of 2010, the Instituto Pedro Nunes incubator3 has been awarded as the Best Science-based Incubator in the world.

[TFP'19] second call for papers: Trends in Functional Programming 2019, 12-14 June 2019, Vancouver, BC, CA
by Peter Achten 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

-------------------------------- 2 N D C A L L F O R P A P E R S -------------------------------- ====== TFP 2019 ====== 20th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming 12-14 June, 2019 Vancouver, BC, CA https://www.tfp2019.org/index.html == Important Dates == Submission Deadline for pre-symposium formal review Thursday, March 28, 2019 Sumbission Deadline for Draft Papers Thursday, May 9, 2019 Notification for pre-symposium submissions Thursday, May 2, 2019 Notification for Draft Papers Tuesday, May 14, 1029 TFPIE Tuesday, June 11, 2019 Symposium Wednesday, June 12, 2019 – Friday, June 14, 2019 Notification of Student Paper Feedback Friday June 21, 2019 Submission Deadline for revised Draft Papers (post-symposium formal review) Thursday, August 1, 2019 Notification for post-symposium submissions Thursday, October 24, 2019 Camera Ready Deadline (both pre- and post-symposium) Friday, November 29, 2019 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 2019 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming events. TFP 2019 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take place on June 11. == 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 2019 program chairs, William J. Bowman and Ron Garcia. == 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. == Instructions to Author == Papers must be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2019 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 == Papers submitted for post-symposium 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 received at the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these articles for formal publication. == Paper categories == There are two types of submission, each of which can be submitted either for pre-symposium or post-symposium review: Extended abstracts. Extended abstracts are 4 to 10 pages in length. Full papers. Full papers are up to 20 pages in length. Each submission also belongs to a category: research position project evaluation overview paper Each submission should clearly indicate to which category it belongs. Additionally, a draft paper submission—of either type (extended abstract or full paper) and any category—can be considered a student paper. A student paper is one for which primary authors are research students and the majority of the work described was carried out by the students. The submission should indicate that it is a student paper. Student papers will receive additional feedback from the PC shortly after the symposium has taken place and before the post-symposium submission deadline. Feedback is only provided for accepted student papers, i.e., papers submitted for presentation and post-symposium formal review that are accepted for presentation. If a student paper is rejected for presentation, then it receives no further feedback and cannot be submitted for post-symposium review. == 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 (http://www.springer.com/lncs) == Program Committee == Program Co-chairs William J.

GPCE seeks conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and technical contributions to its topics of interest, which include but are not limited to: * program transformation, staging, macro systems, preprocessors, program synthesis, and code-recommendation systems, * domain-specific languages, language embedding, language design, and language workbenches, * feature-oriented programming, domain engineering, and feature interactions, * applications and properties of code generation, language implementation, and product-line development. Authors are welcome to check with the program co-chairs whether their planned papers are in scope. PAPER SELECTION The GPCE program committee will evaluate each submission according to the following selection criteria: * Novelty. Papers must present new ideas or evidence and place them appropriately within the context established by previous research in the field. * Significance. The results in the paper must have the potential to add to the state of the art or practice in significant ways. * Evidence. The paper must present evidence supporting its claims. Examples of evidence include formalizations and proofs, implemented systems, experimental results, statistical analyses, and case studies. * Clarity. The paper must present its contributions and results clearly. PAPER CATEGORIES GPCE solicits three kinds of submissions. * Full Papers reporting original and unpublished results of research that contribute to scientific knowledge in any GPCE topic listed above. Full paper submissions must not exceed 12 pages excluding bibliography. * Short Papers presenting unconventional ideas or visions about any GPCE topic listed above. Short papers do not always require complete results as in the case of a full paper. In this way, authors can introduce new ideas to the community and get early feedback. Please note that short papers are not intended to be position statements. Short papers are included in the proceedings and will be presented at the conference. Short paper submissions must not exceed 6 pages excluding bibliography. * Tool Demonstrations presenting tools for any GPCE topic listed above. Tools must be available for use and must not be purely commercial. Submissions must provide a tool description not exceeding 6 pages excluding bibliography and a separate demonstration outline including screenshots also not exceeding 6 pages. Tool demonstrations must have the keywords "Tool Demo" or "Tool Demonstration" in their title. If the submission is accepted, the tool description will be published in the proceedings. The demonstration outline will only be used by the program committee for evaluating the submission. PAPER SUBMISSION All submissions must use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format "acmart", using the "sigplan" sub-format, and 10 point font. Additional details and links to templates and the LaTeX class file can be found on the conference web site: https://conf.researchr.org/home/gpce-2019. To increase fairness in reviewing, a double-blind review process has become standard across SIGPLAN conferences. GPCE will follow a very lightweight model, where author identities are revealed to reviewers after submitting their initial reviews. Hence, the purpose is not to conceal author identities at all cost, but merely to provide reviewers with an unbiased first look at a submission. Author names and institutions should be omitted from submitted papers, and references to the authors' own related work should be in the third person. No other changes are necessary, and authors will not be penalized if reviewers are able to infer their identities in implicit ways. Papers must be submitted using HotCRP: https://gpce19.hotcrp.com/ For additional information, clarification, or answers to questions please contact the program co-chairs. ORGANIZATION Chairs * General chair: Ina Schaefer (TU Braunschweig) * Program co-chair: Christoph Reichenbach (Lund University) * Program co-chair: Tijs van der Storm (CWI / University of Groningen) Program Committee * Jonathan Aldrich (CMU) * Juliana Alves Pereira (University Rennes) * Marsha Chechik (University of Toronto) * Shigeru Chiba (University of Tokyo) * Thomas Degueule (CWI) * Sebastian Erdweg (TU Delft) * Matthew Flatt (University of Utah) * Robert Glück (University of Copenhagen) * Elisa Gonzalez Boix (VUB) * Geoffrey Mainland (Drexel University) * Chris Martens (NCSU) * Maryam Mehri Dehnavi (University of Toronto) * Peter Mosses (Swansea University / TU Delft) * David Pearce (Victoria University of Wellington) * Alex Potanin (Victoria University of Wellington) * Larissa Rocha Soares (Federal University of Bahia) * Ulrik Schultz (University of Southern Denmark) * Sandro Schulze (University of Magdeburg) * Christoph Seidl (TU Braunschweig) * Michel Steuwer (University of Glasgow) * Sam Tobin Hochstadt (Indiana University) * Kanae Tsushima (National Institute of Informatics) * Philip Wadler (University of Edinburgh) * Eric Walkingshaw (Oregon State University) * Adam Welc (Uber) * Peng Wu (Huawei)

Formal Methods 2019 - Final Call For Papers
by Renato Neves 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

============================================================== Third and Final Call for Papers FM 2019 - 23rd International Symposium on Formal Methods - 3rd World Congress on Formal Methods Porto, Portugal, October 7-11, 2019 http://formalmethods2019.inesctec.pt/ ============================================================== Check us out on FME's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5rZj0AyBudca0YRgEAX-Ow/ ============================================================== FM 2019 is the 23rd international symposium in a series organised by Formal Methods Europe (FME), an independent association whose aim is to stimulate the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. Every 10 years the symposium is organised as a World Congress. Twenty years after FM 1999 in Toulouse, and 10 years after FM 2009 in Eindhoven, FM 2019 is the 3rd World Congress on Formal Methods. This is reflected in a PC with members from over 40 countries. Thus, FM 2019 will be both an occasion to celebrate and a platform for enthusiastic researchers and practitioners from a diversity of backgrounds to exchange their ideas and share their experience. FORMAL METHODS: THE NEXT 30 YEARS It is now more than 30 years since the first VDM symposium in 1987 brought together researchers with the common goal of creating methods to produce high quality software based on rigour and reason. Since then the diversity and complexity of computer technology has changed enormously and the formal methods community has stepped up to the challenges those changes brought by adapting, generalising and improving the models and analysis techniques that were the focus of that first symposium. The theme for FM 2019 is a reflection on how far the community has come and the lessons we can learn for understanding and developing the best software for future technologies. Important Dates =============== Abstract submission: 28 March, 2019 Full paper submission: 11 April, 2019, 23:59 AoE Notification: 11 June, 2019 Camera ready: 9 July, 2019 Conference: 7-11 October, 2019 Invited Speakers ================ - June Andronick (CSIRO/Data61 and UNSW, Sydney, Australia) - Shriram Krishnamurthi (Brown University, Providence, RI, USA) - Erik Poll (Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) Topics of Interest ================== FM 2019 encourages submissions on formal methods in a wide range of domains including software, computer-based systems, systems-of-systems, cyber-physical systems, human-computer interaction, manufacturing, sustainability, energy, transport, smart cities, and healthcare. We particularly welcome papers on techniques, tools and experiences in interdisciplinary settings. We also welcome papers on experiences of formal methods in industry, and on the design and validation of formal methods tools. The broad topics of interest for FM 2019 include, but are not limited to: - Interdisciplinary formal methods: Techniques, tools and experiences demonstrating the use of formal methods in interdisciplinary settings. - Formal methods in practice: Industrial applications of formal methods, experience with formal methods in industry, tool usage reports, experiments with challenge problems. The authors are encouraged to explain how formal methods overcame problems, led to improved designs, or provided new insights. - Tools for formal methods: Advances in automated verification, model checking, and testing with formal methods, tools integration, environments for formal methods, and experimental validation of tools. The authors are encouraged to demonstrate empirically that the new tool or environment advances the state of the art. - Formal methods in software and systems engineering: Development processes with formal methods, usage guidelines for formal methods, and method integration. The authors are encouraged to evaluate process innovations with respect to qualitative or quantitative improvements. Empirical studies and evaluations are also solicited. - Theoretical foundations of formal methods: All aspects of theory related to specification, verification, refinement, and static and dynamic analysis. The authors are encouraged to explain how their results contribute to the solution of practical problems with formal methods or tools. Submission Guidelines ===================== Papers should be original work, not published or submitted elsewhere, in Springer LNCS format, written in English, submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fm2019 Each paper will be evaluated by at least three members of the Programme Committee. Authors of papers reporting experimental work are strongly encouraged to make their experimental results available for use by the reviewers. Similarly, case study papers should describe significant case studies, and the complete development should be made available at the time of review. The usual criteria for novelty, reproducibility, correctness and the ability for others to build upon the described work apply. Tool papers should explain enhancements made compared to previously published work. A tool paper need not present the theory behind the tool but should focus on the tool's features, how it is used, its evaluation, and examples and screen shots illustrating the tool's use. Authors of tool papers should make their tool available for use by the reviewers. We solicit two categories of papers: - Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages, not counting references and appendices. - Short papers, including tool papers, should not exceed 6 pages, not counting references and appendices. Besides tool papers, short papers are encouraged for any topic that can be described within the page limit, and in particular for novel ideas without an extensive experimental evaluation. Short papers will be accompanied by short presentations. For regular and tool papers, an appendix can provide additional material such as details on proofs or experiments. The appendix is not part of the page count and not guaranteed to be read or taken into account by the reviewers. It should not contain information necessary to the understanding and the evaluation of the presented work. Papers will be accepted or rejected in the category in which they were submitted. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the conference as a registered participant. Best Paper Award ================ At the conference, the PC Chairs will present an award to the authors of the submission selected as the FM 2019 Best Paper. Publication =========== Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings to appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science in the subline on Formal Methods.

Re: [Haskell] [Haskell-cafe] Apply Haskell at scale in a music start-up

>> If you are interested in working at Chordify, please have a look at: >> https://jobs.chordify.net/ > The advert in the link seems to indicate the job is based in the > Netherlands. Does Chordify accept remote work as well? * Chordify is based in the Netherlands, and not everyone who would like to work at Chordify can or is willing to relocate to this nice, but relatively rainy part of the world. Therefore, you are not the first person to ask whether working remotely is an option. We have do not have principal reasons to reject remote working, but having two offices in the Netherlands, and using all digital means available to streamline our communication, our experience is that nothing beats face-to-face contact. Also, we really try to make our office a pleasant and fun place, and we believe it adds value to be part of our office culture. Therefore, we prefer working in our office over working remotely. That said, working part-time or working from home is something that we do on a regular basis. *

Haskell Symposium: Early Track due this Friday, March 15
by Richard Eisenberg 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

================================================================================ ACM SIGPLAN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Haskell Symposium 2019 Berlin, Germany 22--23 August, 2019 http://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2019/ ================================================================================ The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2019 will be co-located with the 2019 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). **NEW THIS YEAR**: We will be using a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. See further information below. The Haskell Symposium presents original research on Haskell, discusses practical experience and future development of the language, and promotes other forms of declarative 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; * Libraries, that demonstrate new ideas or techniques for functional programming in Haskell; * 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; * System Demonstrations, based on running software rather than novel research results. 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, and to other languages where appropriate. Experience reports and functional pearls need not necessarily report original academic research results. For example, they may instead report reusable programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or practical experience that will be useful to other users, implementers, 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 standard solution to a standard programming problem, or report on experience where you used Haskell in the standard way and achieved the result you were expecting. System demonstrations should summarize the system capabilities that would be demonstrated. The proposals 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, social or artistic. Please contact the program chair with any questions about the relevance of a proposal. Submission Details ================== Early and Regular Track ----------------------- The Haskell Symposium uses a two-track submission process so that some papers can gain early feedback. Strong papers submitted to the early track are accepted outright, and the others will be given their reviews and invited to resubmit to the regular track. Papers accepted via the early and regular tracks are considered of equal value and will not be distinguished in the proceedings. Although all papers may be submitted to the early track, authors of functional pearls and experience reports are particularly encouraged to use this mechanism. The success of these papers depends heavily on the way they are presented, and submitting early will give the program committee a chance to provide feedback and help draw out the key ideas. Formatting ---------- Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Authors should use the `acmart` format, with the `sigplan` sub-format for ACM proceedings. For details, see: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format It is recommended to use the `review` option when submitting a paper; this option enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews. Functional pearls, experience reports, and demo proposals should be labelled clearly as such. Lightweight Double-blind Reviewing ---------------------------------- Haskell Symposium 2019 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules: 1. Author names and institutions must be omitted, and 2. References to authors’ own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work …” but rather “We build on the work of …”). The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. A reviewer will learn the identity of the author(s) of a paper after a review is submitted. Page Limits ----------- The length of submissions should not exceed the following limits: Regular paper: 12 pages Functional pearl: 12 pages Experience report: 6 pages Demo proposal: 2 pages There is no requirement that all pages are used. For example, a functional pearl may be much shorter than 12 pages. In all cases, the list of references is not counted against these page limits. Deadlines --------- Early track: Submission deadline: 15 March 2019 (Fri) Notification: 19 April 2019 (Fri) Regular track and demos: Submission deadline: 10 May 2019 (Fri) Notification: 21 June 2019 (Fri) Camera-ready deadline for accepted papers: 30 June 2019 (Sun) Deadlines are valid anywhere on Earth. Submission ---------- Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy (http://sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) and authors should be aware of ACM's policies on plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism) The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm. There will be no extensions, and papers violating the length limitations will be summarily rejected. Papers should be submitted through HotCRP at: https://haskell19.hotcrp.com/ Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the submission deadline using the same web interface. Supplementary material: Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material should not be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it should be uploaded as a separate PDF document or tarball. Supplementary material should be uploaded at submission time, not by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository. Authors are free to upload both anonymized and non-anonymized supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s). Resubmitted Papers: Authors who submit a revised version of a paper that has previously been rejected by another conference have the option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to see how his/her comments have been addressed, the principal editor will communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of the previous reviews. 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://pac.sigplan.org) 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) Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their paper (source code, test data, etc.); they retain copyright of auxiliary material. Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the symposium website but not formally published in the proceedings. All accepted papers and proposals will be posted on the conference website one week before the meeting. Publication date: The official publication date of accepted papers is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
