26 Jul '19

Hello, Please, find below the final call for draft papers for IFL 2019. 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: August 1, 2019 Regular papers notification: August 1, 2019 Regular draft papers notification: August 7, 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.

CFP: JFP special issue on Gradual Typing
by Amal Ahmed 16 Jul '19

16 Jul '19

We invite submissions to the Journal of Functional Programming Special Issue on Gradual Typing. JFP Special Issue on Gradual Typing Submission deadline: 15 January 2020 Expected publication date: February 2021 SCOPE The field of gradual typing has grown exponentially over the past decade, both in terms of research and industrial adoption. Gradual typing, the idea of adding/strengthening types in existing programs, demands work on design, theory, implementation, and usability. As such, the field deserves a special journal issue with reflective papers. TOPICS Thus far, three major themes have emerged in the field of gradual typing: (1) researchers have explored numerous dimensions of the design space of gradually typed languages; (2) from this exploration, theoreticians have (re-)opened questions regarding semantics and metatheory; and (3) implementors have been grappling with the seemingly high overhead of sound gradual typing. The special issue welcomes contributions on these themes as well as ones that go beyond, for instance, usability and usefulness of gradual types. We invite authors from across the spectrum of gradual typing. Papers will be reviewed as regular JFP submissions, and acceptance in the special issue will be based on both JFP's quality standards and relevance to the theme. Beyond academics, we especially also welcome working programmers who may wish to consider authoring experience reports, which will be held to appropriate standards laid out for Practice and Experience papers. The special issue also welcomes high-quality survey papers that would benefit a wide audience. NOTIFICATION OF INTENT Authors MUST notify the special-issue editors of their intent to submit by December 18, 2019. The notification of intent should be submitted by filling out the following web form which asks for data needed to identify suitable reviewers: https://forms.gle/dutqyXJSF5WMuuCRA SUBMISSIONS Full-length, archival-quality submissions are solicited on all aspects of gradual typing. Submissions should be sent through the JFP Manuscript Central system. Choose “Gradual Typing” as the paper type, so that it gets assigned to the special issue. Submissions that are based on previously-published conference or workshop papers must clearly describe the relationship with the initial publication, and must differ sufficiently that the author can assign copyright to Cambridge University Press.

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 cit! y 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!
