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. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ------------------------------------------------------ - Ambient Assisted Living for Elderly Care - Ambient Intelligence and Intelligent Service Systems - Analysis and Evaluation of Healthcare Systems - Clinical Data and Knowledge Management - Cloud Computing for Healthcare - Collaboration Technologies for Healthcare - Context-aware Applications for Patient Monitoring and Care - Data mining Techniques and Data Warehouses in Healthcare - Data Visualization - Decision Support Systems in Healthcare - Design and Development Methodologies for Healthcare Systems - Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologies in Healthcare - Digital Hospitals - Drug Information Systems - E-health & m-health - Electronic Health Records (EHR) & Personal Health Records (PHR) - Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) - Healthgrids - Health Portals - Information and Knowledge Processing in Healthcare Environments - Middleware Support for Smart Homes and Intelligent Applications - Quantified Self for Pervasive Healthcare - Privacy, Confidentiality and Security Issues in Healthcare Systems - Related Real World Experimentations and Case Studies in Healthcare - RFID Solutions for Healthcare - Smart Homes and Home Care Intelligent Environments - Telemedicine and Health Telematics - Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing in Healthcare - Usability & Socio Technical studies - User Interface Design for Healthcare Applications - Virtual and Augmented Reality in Healthcare - Virtual Environments for Healthcare Committees ------------- General Chair Heiko Gewald, The Neu-Ulm University of Applied, Germany Joel J.

Request for Nominations to the GHC Steering Committee
by Joachim Breitner 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Dear Haskell community, the GHC Steering committee is seeking nominations for two or three new member. The committee scrutinizes, nitpicks, improves, weights and eventually accepts or rejects proposals that extend or change the language supported by GHC and other (public-facing) aspects of GHC. Our processes are described at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals which is also the GitHub repository where proposals are proposed. We are looking for a member who has the ability * to understand such language extension proposals, * to find holes and missing corner cases in the specifications, * foresee the interaction with other language features and specifications, * comment constructively and improve the proposals, * judge the cost/benefit ratio and * finally come to a justifiable conclusion. We look for committee members who have some of these properties: * have substantial experience in writing Haskell applications or libraries, which they can use to inform judgements about the utility or otherwise of proposed features, * have made active contributions to the Haskell community, for some time, * have expertise in language design and implementation, in either Haskell or related languages, which they can share with us. The committee’s work requires a small, but non-trivial amount of time, especially when you are assigned a proposal for shepherding. We estimate the workload to be around 2 hours per week, and our process works best if members usually respond to technical emails within 1-2 weeks (within days is even better). Please keep that in mind if your email inbox is already overflowing. The GHC developers themselves are already well represented already. We seek Haskell _users_ more than GHC hackers. There is no shortage of people who are eager to get fancy new features into the language, both in the committee and the wider community. But each new feature imposes a cost, to implement, to learn, (particularly) through its unexpected interaction with other features. We need to strike a balance, one that encourages innovation (as GHC always has) while still making Haskell attractive for real-world production use and for teaching. We therefore explicitly invite “conservative” members of the community to join the committee. To make a nomination, please send an email to me (as the committee secretary) at mail(a)joachim-breitner.de until June 23th. I will distribute the nominations among the committee, and we will keep the nominations and our deliberations private. We explicitly encourage self-nominations. You can nominate others, but please obtain their explicit consent to do so. (We don’t want to choose someone who turns out to be unable to serve.) On behalf of the committee, Joachim Breitner -- Joachim Breitner mail(a)joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/

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 2019 31st Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages National University of Singapore September 25th-27th, 2019 http://2019.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 2019 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 Speaker * Olivier Danvy, Yale-NUS College ### Submissions and peer-review Differently from previous editions of IFL, IFL 2019 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 2019. 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: June 15, 2019 Submission of draft papers: July 15, 2019 Regular and draft papers notification: August 1, 2019 Deadline for early registration: August 15, 2019 Submission of pre-proceedings version: September 15, 2019 IFL Symposium: September 25-27, 2019 Submission of papers for post-proceedings: November 30, 2019 Notification of acceptance: January 31, 2020 Camera-ready version: February 29, 2020 ### Submission details All contributions must be written in English.

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 of Rennes, INRIA) * 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)

Previous WFLP editions were WFLP 2018 (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), WFLP 2017 (Würzburg, Germany), WFLP 2016 (Leipzig, Germany), WFLP 2014 (Wittenberg, Germany), WFLP 2013 (Kiel, Germany), WFLP 2012 (Nagoya, Japan), WFLP 2011 (Odense, Denmark), WFLP 2010 (Madrid, Spain), WFLP 2009 (Brasilia, Brazil), WFLP 2008 (Siena, Italy), WFLP 2007 (Paris, France), WFLP 2006 (Madrid, Spain), WCFLP 2005 (Tallinn, Estonia), WFLP 2004 (Aachen, Germany), WFLP 2003 (Valencia, Spain), WFLP 2002 (Grado, Italy), WFLP 2001 (Kiel, Germany), WFLP 2000 (Benicassim, Spain), WFLP'99 (Grenoble, France), WFLP'98 (Bad Honnef, Germany), WFLP'97 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'96 (Marburg, Germany), WFLP'95 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'94 (Schwarzenberg, Germany), WFLP'93 (Rattenberg, Germany), and WFLP'92 (Karlsruhe, Germany). WFLP 2019 will be part of DECLARE 2019 and hence be co-located with INAP 2019 (International Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management), WLP 2019 (Workshop on (Constraint) Logic Programming), and QPLogic 2019 (Quantum and Probability Logic). Topics The topics of interest cover all aspects of functional and logic programming. They include (but are not limited to): * Functional programming * Logic programming * Constraint programming * Deductive databases, data mining * Extensions of declarative languages, objects * Multi-paradigm declarative programming * Foundations, semantics, non-monotonic reasoning, dynamics * Parallelism, concurrency * Program analysis, abstract interpretation * Program and model manipulation * Program transformation, partial evaluation, meta-programming * Specification, * Verification * Debugging * Testing * Knowledge representation, machine learning * Interaction of declarative programming with other formalisms * Implementation of declarative languages * Advanced programming environments and tools * Software techniques for declarative programming * Applications The primary focus is on new and original research results, but submissions describing innovative products, prototypes under development, application systems, or interesting experiments (e.g., benchmarks) are also encouraged. Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective, and experience reports are also welcome. Papers must be written and presented in English. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions). Submission Guidelines Submission is via Easychair submission website for WFLP 2019: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wflp2019 Authors are invited to submit papers in the following categories: + Regular research paper + Work-in-progress report + System description Regular research papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been formally published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with formal proceedings. They will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. For work-in-progress reports and system descriptions, less formal rules apply, and presentation-only submissions (talk and discussion, but no paper in the formal proceedings) are possible. Please contact the PC chair with any questions. All submissions must be formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style. 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. However, all submissions (especially work-in-progress reports and system descriptions) may be considerably shorter than 15 pages. Proceedings All papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be published in informal proceedings publicly available at the Computing Research Repository. According to the program committee reviews, submissions can be directly accepted for publication in the formal post-conference proceedings. The formal post-conference proceedings will be published in both electronic and paper formats by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. After the conference, all authors accepted only for presentation will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the conference. Then, after another round of reviewing, these revised papers may also be published in the formal proceedings. Therefore, all accepted papers will be published in open-access, and the authors can also decide to publish their work in the Springer LNCS formal proceedings.

ICFP 2019 Student Research Competition Call for Submissions ICFP invites students to participate in the Student Research Competition in order to present their research and get feedback from prominent members of the programming language research community. Please submit your extended abstracts through the submission website. ### Important dates Submissions due: 14 Jun 2019 (Friday) https://icfp19src.hotcrp.com Notification: 28 Jun 2019 (Friday) Conference: 18 August (Sunday) - 23 August (Friday) Each submission (referred to as "abstract" below) should include the student author’s name and e-mail address; institutional affiliation; research advisor’s name; ACM student member number; category (undergraduate or graduate); research title; and an extended abstract addressing the following: * Problem and Motivation: Clearly state the problem being addressed and explain the reasons for seeking a solution to this problem. * Background and Related Work: Describe the specialized (but pertinent) background necessary to appreciate the work in the context of ICFP areas of interest. Include references to the literature where appropriate, and briefly explain where your work departs from that done by others. * Approach and Uniqueness: Describe your approach in addressing the problem and clearly state how your approach is novel. * Results and Contributions: Clearly show how the results of your work contribute to programming language design and implementation in particular and to computer science in general; explain the significance of those results. * Submissions must be original research that is not already published at ICFP or another conference or journal. One of the goals of the SRC is to give students feedback on ongoing, unpublished work. Furthermore, the abstract must be authored solely by the student. If the work is collaborative with others and*or part of a larger group project, the abstract should make clear what the student’s role was and should focus on that portion of the work. * Formatting: Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black and white on US Letter sized paper, and interpretable by common PDF tools. All submissions must adhere to the "ACM Small" template that is available (in both LaTeX and Word formats) from https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions. For authors using LaTeX, a lighter-weight package, including only the essential files, is available from http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format. The submission must not exceed 3 pages in PDF format. Reference lists do not count towards the 3-page limit. Further information is available at the ICFP SRC website: https://icfp19.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2019-Student-Research-Competition ICFP Student Research Competition Chair: William J. Bowman (University of British Columbia)
