by Peter Achten 08 Jan '21

08 Jan '21

------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final call for papers 22nd Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming tfp2021.org *deadline: January 15 2021* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you miss the deadline to submit a paper to Trends in Functional Programming http://tfp2021.org/? No worries -- it's not too late! Submission is open until January 15th 2021, for a presentation slot at the event and post-symposium reviewing. 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. * TFP offers a supportive reviewing process designed to help less experienced authors succeed, with two rounds of review, both before and after the symposium itself. Authors have an opportunity to address reviewers' concerns before final decisions on publication in the proceedings. * TFP offers two "best paper" awards, the John McCarthy award for best paper, and the David Turner award for best student paper. * TFP is co-located with Lambda Days in beautiful Krakow. Lambda Days is a vibrant developer conference with hundreds of attendees and a lively programme of talks on functional programming in practice. Due to the covid pandemic, the event is online with a lot of attention to interaction and getting to socialize with the community. Important Dates --------------- Submission deadline for pre-symposium review: 20th November, 2020 -- passed -- Submission deadline for draft papers: 15th January, 2021 Symposium dates: 17-19th February, 2021 Visit http://tfp2021.org/ for more information.

by Andrei Popescu 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Greetings, This fast approaching deadline could be of interest to UK or EU residents currently looking for a PhD position and willing to start in mid February. It is an opportunity to do high impact verification research in an excellent academic environment. Background in robotics is not required. The program is for 3.5 years, with no teaching obligations. There is the possibility to work remotely until the pandemic is over. The PhD will be supervised by myself (https://www.andreipopescu.uk/) in collaboration with experts from Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (https://www.amrc.co.uk/) So far, my students have published in top tier conferences such as CAV, LICS, ICFP, IJCAR, POPL and Oakland S&P on the topics of their PhD and MSc dissertations. More details on the position can be found at: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/formal-specification-and-verification… Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Best wishes, Andrei

Nominations close Jan 11th for the Haskell Foundation Board
by Simon Peyton Jones 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Friends Happy new year! The closing date for self-nominations for membership of the Board of the Haskell Foundation<https://haskell.foundation/> is in just under a week: Monday January 11th 2021 The Haskell Foundation is a new non-profit organisation that seeks to articulate the benefits of functional programming to a broader audience, to erase barriers to entry, and to support Haskell as a solidly reliable basis for mission-critical applications. The Board provides the strategic leadership for the Foundation, including its goals, governance, finances, and staff. Membership of the Board is a key leadership role, not an honorary appointment. The Call for Nominations<https://haskell.foundation/board-nominations/> gives more details. Please do consider nominating yourself, or encouraging a suitable (but perhaps modest) colleague to do so. The HF needs a strong Board, and that means strong nominations. Thanks! Please do forward this message on social media or elsewhere. Simon Peyton Jones

[TFPIE'21] Third and Final Call For Papers: Trends in Functional Programming *in Education* 2021, 16 February 2021 (with Lambda Days 2021 & TFP 2021)
by Peter Achten 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

---------------------------------------------- TFPIE 2021 3rd and Final Call for papers ---------------------------------------------- *************************************************************** - Submission deadline: January 11 2021, Anywhere on Earth. *************************************************************** https://wiki.tfpie.science.ru.nl/TFPIE2021#TFPIE_2021 (February 16 2021, co-organized with TFP 2021 and Lambda Days 2021) Because of the covid pandemic, the events are online this year. The goal of the International Workshops on Trends in Functional Programming in Education is to gather researchers, professors, teachers, and all professionals that use or are interested in the use of functional programming in education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas, and work in progress on the use of functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication after the workshop. TFPIE 2021 welcomes submissions in the above mentioned areas. This year many teaching programmes have had to make a rapid transition to online teaching, and we explicitly solicit papers that explore this area of teaching functional programming. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - FP and beginning CS students - FP and Computational Thinking - FP and Artificial Intelligence - FP in Robotics - FP and Music - Advanced FP for undergraduates - FP in graduate education - Engaging students in research using FP - FP in Programming Languages - FP in the high school curriculum - FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics - FP and Philosophy - The pedagogy of teaching FP - FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc. - Best Lectures - more details below In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. What's your best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to present FP concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture topics will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. The length of the presentation should be comparable to that of a paper. On top of the lecture itself, the presentation can also provide commentary on the lecture. Submissions Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages) or a draft paper (up to 20 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available on the workshop's website. Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2021 After the workshop, presenters are invited to submit (a revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best articles for publication in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC. Dates - Submission deadline: January 11 2021, Anywhere on Earth. - Notification: January 15 2021 - Workshop: February 16 2021 - Submission for formal review: April 20 2021, Anywhere on Earth. - Notification of full article: June 7 2021 - Camera ready: July 1st 2021 Program Committee - Peter Achten, Radboud University, Netherlands (chair) - Edwin Brady, University of St Andrews, UK - Laura Castro, Universidade da Coruña, Spain - Stephen Chang, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA - Youyou Cong, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan - Matthew Flatt, University of Utah, USA - Seth Fogarty, Trinity University, USA - Alex Gerdes, University of Gothenburg, Sweden - Gabriele Keller, Utrecht University, Netherlands - Prabhakar Ragde, University of Waterloo, Canada - Melinda Tóth, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary Registration TFPIE is part of Lambda Days.
