LOPSTR 2020 will be co-located with PPDP, WFLP and Microservices. TOPICS Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program development (including in domain-specific languages), all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large, including: * synthesis; transformation; specialisation; composition; optimisation * specification; analysis and verification; testing and certification * program and model manipulation; inversion * machine learning for program development * transformational techniques in SE; applications and tools Both full papers and extended abstracts describing applications in all these areas are especially welcome. Survey papers and papers that describe experience with industrial applications are also welcome. Important Dates --------------- Abstract submission: 5 June 2020 (AoE) Paper/Extended abstract submission: 12 June 2020 (AoE) Notification: 12 July 2020 Camera-ready (for electronic pre-proceedings): 12 August 2020 Symposium: 7-9 September 2020 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 excluding references. Additional pages may be used for appendices (not intended for publication). Reviewers are not required to read appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them. Papers should be submitted via the Easychair submission website for LOPSTR 2020. PROCEEDINGS Post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series, as in previous editions. 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. Then, after another round of reviewing, these revised papers may also be published in the formal proceedings. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, available also in Overleaf, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. BEST PAPER AWARDS Thanks to Springer's sponsorship, two awards (including a 500EUR prize each) will be given at LOPSTR 2020, based on relevance, originality and technical quality of papers.

[ANNOUNCE] Glasgow Haskell Compiler 8.10.1 released
by Ben Gamari 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Hello all, The GHC team is happy to announce the availability of GHC 8.10.1. Source and binary distributions are available at the usual place: https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.10.1/ GHC 8.10.1 brings a number of new features including: * The new UnliftedNewtypes extension allowing newtypes around unlifted types. * The new StandaloneKindSignatures extension allows users to give top-level kind signatures to type, type family, and class declarations. * A new warning, -Wderiving-defaults, to draw attention to ambiguous deriving clauses * A number of improvements in code generation, including changes * A new GHCi command, :instances, for listing the class instances available for a type. * An upgraded Windows toolchain lifting the MAX_PATH limitation * A new, low-latency garbage collector. * Improved support profiling, including support for sending profiler samples to the eventlog, allowing correlation between the profile and other program events Note that at the moment we still require that macOS Catalina users exempt the binary distribution from the notarization requirement by running `xattr -cr .` on the unpacked tree before running `make install`. This situation will hopefully be improved for GHC 8.10.2 with the resolution of #17418 [1]. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17418

CFP: ACM Scala Symposium 2020
by David Richter 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Eleventh ACM SIGPLAN Scala Symposium https://2020.ecoop.org/home/scala-2020 Berlin, Germany July, 2020 Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages. The ACM SIGPLAN Scala Symposium is the leading forum for researchers and practitioners related to the Scala programming language. We welcome a broad spectrum of research topics and support many submission formats for industry and academia alike. This year’s Scala Symposium is co-located with ECOOP 2020 in Berlin, Germany. # Topics of Interest We seek submissions on all topics related to Scala, including (but not limited to): * Language design and implementation – language extensions, optimization, and performance evaluation. * Library design and implementation patterns for extending Scala – stand-alone Scala libraries, embedded domain-specific languages, combining language features, generic and meta-programming. * Formal techniques for Scala-like programs – formalizations of the language, type system, and semantics, formalizing proposed language extensions and variants, dependent object types, type and effect systems. * Concurrent and distributed programming – libraries, frameworks, language extensions, programming models, performance evaluation, experimental results. * Big data and machine learning libraries and applications using the Scala programming language. * Safety and reliability – pluggable type systems, contracts, static analysis and verification, runtime monitoring. * Interoperability with other languages and runtimes, such as JavaScript, Java 8 (lambdas), Graal and others. * Tools – development environments, debuggers, refactoring tools, testing frameworks. * Case studies, experience reports, and pearls. Do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair (namin(a)seas.harvard.edu) if you are unsure whether a particular topic falls within the scope of Scala 2020. # Important dates Paper submission: April 7, 2020 Paper notification: May 22, 2020 Student talk submission: May 29, 2020 Student talk notification: June 12, 2020 Camera ready: June 5, 2020 Scala Symposium: co-located with ECOOP in July 2020, TBA # Submission Format To accommodate the needs of researchers and practitioners, as well as beginners and experts alike, we seek several kinds of submissions. * Full papers (at most 10 pages, excluding bibliography) * Short papers (at most 4 pages, excluding bibliography) * Tool papers (at most 4 pages, excluding bibliography) * Student talks (short abstract only, in plain text) * Open-source talks (short abstract only, in plain text) The Scala Symposium uses a lightweight double-blind reviewing process, so we ask that research papers, both full and short, be anonymized. Tools papers and talks proposals need not be anonymized. Authors should omit their names from their submissions, and should avoid revealing their identity through citation. Accepted papers (either full papers, short ones or tool papers, but not talks) will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Detailed information for each kind of submission is given below. Submissions should be in acmart/sigplan style, 10pt font. Formatting requirements are detailed on the SIGPLAN Author Information page. Scala 2019 submissions must conform to the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions and to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy. Please note that at least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the symposium and present the work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected. # Full and Short Papers Full and short papers should describe novel ideas, experimental results, or projects related to the Scala language. In order to encourage lively discussion, submitted papers may describe work in progress. Additionally, short papers may present problems and raise research questions interesting for the Scala language community. All papers will be judged on a combination of correctness, significance, novelty, clarity, and interest to the community. In general, papers should explain their original contributions, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work (also for other languages where appropriate). # Tool Papers Tool papers need not necessarily report original research results; they may describe a tool of interest, report practical experience that will be useful to others, new Scala idioms, or programming pearls. In all cases, such a paper must make a contribution which is of interest to the Scala community, or from which other members of the Scala community can benefit. Where appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a link to the tool’s website. For inspiration, you might consider advice in https://conf.researchr.org/track/POPL-2016/pepm-2016-main#Tool-Paper-Advice, which we however treat as non-binding. In case of doubts, please contact the program chair. # Student Talks In addition to regular papers and tool demos, we also solicit short student talks by bachelor/master/PhD students. A student talk is not accompanied by paper (it is sufficient to submit a short abstract of the talk in plain text). Student talks are about 15 minutes long, presenting ongoing or completed research related to Scala. In previous years, each student with an accepted student talk received a grant (donated by our sponsors) covering registration and/or travel costs. # Open-Source Talks We will also accept a limited number of short talks about open-source projects using Scala presented by contributors. An open-source talk is not accompanied by a paper (it is sufficient to submit a short abstract of the talk in plain text). Open-source talks are about 15 minutes long and should be about topics relevant to the symposium. They may, for instance, present or announce an open-source project that would be of interest to the Scala community. # Organizing Committee * (General Chair) Guido Salvaneschi - TU Darmstadt, Germany * (PC Chair) Nada Amin - Harvard University, United States * (Publicity Chair) David Richter - TU Darmstadt, Germany # Program Committee * Oliver Bracevac - TU Darmstadt, Germany * Youyou Cong - Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan * Oleg Kiselyov - Tohoku University, Japan * Victor Kuncak - EPFL, Switzerland * Fengyun Liu - EPFL Switzerland * Mikael Mayer - EPFL, Switzerland * Ragnar Mogk - TU Darmstadt, Germany * Adriaan Moors - Lightbend * Jon Pretty - Propensive Ltd * Julien Richard-Foy - Scala Center * Georg Stefan Schmid - EPFL, Switzerland * Ruby Tahboub - Purdue University, United States * Philip Wadler - University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom # Submission Website The submission will be managed through HotCRP: https://scala20.hotcrp.com/ For questions and additional clarifications, please contact the conference organizers.

[HiW'20] Call for Talks
by Ben Gamari 16 Mar '20

16 Mar '20

Hello everyone, Haskell Implementors Workshop is calling for talk proposals. Co-located with ICFP, HiW is an ideal place to describe a Haskell library, a Haskell extension, compiler, works-in-progress, demo a new Haskell-related tool, or even propose future lines of Haskell development. The deadline for submissions is July 2nd 2020. Call for Talks ============== The 12th Haskell Implementors’ Workshop is to be held alongside ICFP 2020 this year in New Jersey. It is a forum for people involved in the design and development of Haskell implementations, tools, libraries, and supporting infrastructure, to share their work and discuss future directions and collaborations with others. Talks and/or demos are proposed by submitting an abstract, and selected by a small program committee. There will be no published proceedings. The workshop will be informal and interactive, with open spaces in the timetable and room for ad-hoc discussion, demos and lightning talks. Scope and Target Audience ------------------------- It is important to distinguish the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop from the Haskell Symposium which is also co-located with ICFP 2020. The Haskell Symposium is for the publication of Haskell-related research. In contrast, the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop will have no proceedings – although we will aim to make talk videos, slides and presented data available with the consent of the speakers. The Implementors’ Workshop is an ideal place to describe a Haskell extension, describe works-in-progress, demo a new Haskell-related tool, or even propose future lines of Haskell development. Members of the wider Haskell community encouraged to attend the workshop – we need your feedback to keep the Haskell ecosystem thriving. Students working with Haskell are specially encouraged to share their work. The scope covers any of the following topics. There may be some topics that people feel we’ve missed, so by all means submit a proposal even if it doesn’t fit exactly into one of these buckets: - Compilation techniques - Language features and extensions - Type system implementation - Concurrency and parallelism: language design and implementation - Performance, optimization and benchmarking - Virtual machines and run-time systems - Libraries and tools for development or deployment Talks ----- We invite proposals from potential speakers for talks and demonstrations. We are aiming for 20-minute talks with 5 minutes for questions and changeovers. We want to hear from people writing compilers, tools, or libraries, people with cool ideas for directions in which we should take the platform, proposals for new features to be implemented, and half-baked crazy ideas. Please submit a talk title and abstract of no more than 300 words. Submissions can be made via HotCRP at https://icfp-hiw20.hotcrp.com/ until July 2nd (anywhere on earth). We will also have lightning talks session. These have been very well received in recent years, and we aim to increase the time available to them. Lightning talks be ~7mins and are scheduled on the day of the workshop. Suggested topics for lightning talks are to present a single idea, a work-in-progress project, a problem to intrigue and perplex Haskell implementors, or simply to ask for feedback and collaborators. Logistics --------- We recognize the on-going threat that COVID-19 poses to our participants' safety. While August is nearly half a year away, we must account for the possibility that the virus continues to pose a significant threat into the summer. For this reason, we are investigating options that would allow remote presentations this year. In light of this, we urge potential presenters not to be discouraged from submitting and encourage participants to keep time open in their calendars, regardless of the on-going COVID situation. Rest assured that the conference organizers are working to ensure that the Implementors Workshop can be held safely and productively, regardless of how the COVID-19 situation evolves. Program Committee ----------------- - Andrey Mokhov (Newcastle University) - Ben Gamari (Well-Typed LLP) - Christian Baaij (QBayLogic) - George Karachalias (Tweag I/O) - Klara Marntirosian (KU Leuven) - Matthew Pickering (Univeristy of Bristol) - Ryan Scott (Indiana University Bloomington) Best wishes, Ben
