Call for Haskell.org Committee Nominations
by Jasper Van der Jeugt 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

Dear Haskellers, It is time to put out a call for new nominations (as usual, self-nominations and re-nominations are also welcome) for the Haskell.org committee. To nominate yourself or one of your friends for a 3-year term (2022-2025), write an email to: [committee at haskell.org] by the 31st of December, 2021. Please feel free to include any information about yourself (e.g., your story; how you want to contribute to Haskell.org) that you think will help us decide. Committee members do not need to be deep technical Haskell experts. Instead, we look for enthusiasm towards improving the community and a broad representation from different segments of the Haskell world (such as, but not limited to: academia, industry, OSS development, community building). We aim to represent the various facets of "the Haskell society", to be diverse in terms of industry or research and gender, race, and location. The role is about setting policy, providing direction/guidance for Haskell.org infrastructure, planning for the long term and being fiscally responsible with the Haskell.org funds (and donations). Being a member of the committee does not necessarily require a significant amount of time, but members should aim to be responsive during discussions when the committee is called upon to make a decision. You should be able to attend our hour-long call once a month, and to be available to participate asynchronously in the Haskell.org Slack and mailing lists. Strong leadership, communication, and judgment are significant characteristics for committee members. As overseers for policy regarding the open-source side of Haskell, the committee members must also be able to set aside personal or business-related bias and make decisions with the good of the open-source Haskell community in mind. More details about the committee's roles and responsibilities are on: https://www.haskell.org/haskell-org-committee/ If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to email us at [committee at haskell.org] or contact one of us individually. Warm regards Jasper

MSFP 2022 - First Call for Papers
by Jeremy Gibbons 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

Ninth Workshop on MATHEMATICALLY STRUCTURED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING Saturday 2nd April 2022, Munich, Germany A satellite workshop of ETAPS 2022 https://msfp-workshop.github.io/msfp2022/ <https://msfp-workshop.github.io/msfp2022/> ** Deadline: 16 December (abstract), 23 December (paper) ** The ninth workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming is devoted to the derivation of functionality from structure. It is a celebration of the direct impact of Theoretical Computer Science on programs as we write them today. Modern programming languages, and in particular functional languages, support the direct expression of mathematical structures, equipping programmers with tools of remarkable power and abstraction. Where would Haskell be without monads? Functional reactive programming without temporal logic? Call-by-push-value without adjunctions? The list goes on. This workshop is a forum for researchers who seek to reflect mathematical phenomena in data and control. The first MSFP workshop was held in Kuressaare, Estonia, in July 2006, affiliated with MPC 2006 and AMAST 2006. The second MSFP workshop was held in Reykjavik, Iceland as part of ICALP 2008. The third MSFP workshop was held in Baltimore, USA, as part of ICFP 2010. The fourth workshop was held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012. The fifth workshop was held in Grenoble, France, as part of ETAPS 2014. The sixth MSFP Workshop was held in April 2016, in Eindhoven, Netherlands, as part of ETAPS 2016. The seventh MSFP Workshop was held in July 2018, in Oxford, UK, as part of FLoC 2018. The eighth MSFP Workshop was held virtually in August 2020, originally planned as part of ETAPS 2020. Important Dates: ================ Abstract deadline: 16 December (Thursday) Paper deadline: 23 December (Thursday) Notification: 27 January (Thursday) Final version: 24 February (Thursday) Workshop: 2 April(Saturday ) Invited Speakers: ================= Valeria de Paiva - Topos Institute, USA Programme Committee: ==================== Nuria Brede - University of Potsdam, Germany Jacques Carette - McMaster University, Canada Youyou Cong - Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Philippa Cowderoy Jan de Muijnck-Hughes - University of Glasgow, UK Harley Eades III - Augusta University, USA Jeremy Gibbons - University of Oxford, UK (co-chair) Jules Hedges - University of Stratchclyde, UK Shin-Ya Katsumata - National Institute of Informatics, Japan Max New - University of Michigan, USA (co-chair) Maciej Piróg - University of Wrocław, Poland Artjoms Sinkarovs - Heriot-Watt University, UK Submission: =========== Submissions are welcomed on, but by no means restricted to, topics such as: structured effectful computation structured recursion structured corecursion structured tree and graph operations structured syntax with variable binding structured datatype-genericity structured search structured representations of functions structured quantum computation structure directed optimizations structured types structure derived from programs and data Please contact the programme chairs Jeremy Gibbons (jeremy.gibbons(a)cs.ox.ac.uk <mailto:jeremy.gibbons@cs.ox.ac.uk>) and Max New (maxsnew(a)umich.edu <mailto:maxsnew@umich.edu>) if you have any questions about the scope of the workshop. We accept two categories of submission: full papers of no more than 15 pages that will appear in the proceedings, and extended abstracts of no more than 2 pages that we will post on the website, but which do not constitute formal publications and will not appear in the proceedings. References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices may not be read by reviewers. Submissions must report previously unpublished work and not be submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. The proceedings will be published under the auspices of EPTCS with a Creative Commons license. A short abstract should be submitted a week in advance of the paper deadline (for both full paper and extended abstract submissions). We are using EasyChair to manage submissions.

2nd Call for Papers: FLOPS 2022
by Michael Hanus 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

* The deadline has been extended to December. * Best papers will be invited to an SCP special issue. ============================================================================ Call For Papers FLOPS 2022: 16th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming ============================================================================ In-Cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN May 10-12, 2022, Kyoto, Japan https://conf.researchr.org/home/flops-2022 Writing down detailed computational steps is not the only way of programming. The alternative, being used increasingly in practice, is to start by writing down the desired properties of the result. The computational steps are then (semi-)automatically derived from these higher-level specifications. Examples of this declarative style include functional and logic programming, program transformation and re-writing, and extracting programs from proofs of their correctness. FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and implementors of the declarative programming, to discuss mutually interesting results and common problems: theoretical advances, their implementations in language systems and tools, and applications of these systems in practice. The scope includes all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, applications, implementations, and teaching of declarative programming. FLOPS specifically aims to promote cross-fertilization between theory and practice and among different styles of declarative programming. *** Scope *** FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of declarative programming: * functional, logic, functional-logic programming, rewriting systems, formal methods and model checking, program transformations and program refinements, developing programs with the help of theorem provers or SAT/SMT solvers, verifying properties of programs using declarative programming techniques; * foundations, language design, implementation issues (compilation techniques, memory management, run-time systems, etc.), applications and case studies. FLOPS promotes cross-fertilization among different styles of declarative programming. Therefore, research papers must be written to be understandable by the wide audience of declarative programmers and researchers. In particular, each submission should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant for its area, and comparing it with previous work. Submission of system descriptions and declarative pearls are especially encouraged. *** Submission *** Submissions should fall into one of the following categories: * Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will be judged on originality, correctness, and significance. * System descriptions: they should describe a working system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design. * Declarative pearls: new and excellent declarative programs or theories with illustrative applications. System descriptions and declarative pearls must be explicitly marked as such in the title. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted. See also ACM SIGPLAN Republication Policy, as explained at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication. Submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 pages excluding references, though system descriptions and pearls are typically shorter. The formatting has to conform to Springer's guidelines. Regular research papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made accessible otherwise (e.g., a link to an anonymized web page or an appendix, which does not count towards the page limit). However, it is the responsibility of the authors to guarantee that their paper can be understood and appreciated without referring to this supporting information; reviewers may simply choose not to look at it when writing their review. FLOPS 2022 will employ a 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 a judgement 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. Papers should be submitted electronically at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flops2022 Springer Guidelines https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… *** Proceedings *** The proceedings will be published by Springer International Publishing in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (www.springer.com/lncs) Post-proceedings: The authors of 4-7 best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their FLOPS paper to a special issue which will appear in the journal Science of Computer Programming (SCP). *** Important Dates *** Abstract submission: December 8, 2021 (AoE) Paper submission: December 12, 2021 (AoE) Notification: January 28, 2022 Camera ready due: February 20, 2022 Symposium: May 10-12, 2022 *** Program Comittee *** Andreas Abel Gothenburg University, Sweden Elvira Albert Universidad Complutense de Madrid Nada Amin Harvard Universuty, USA Davide Ancona Univ. Genova, Italy William Byrd University of Alabama, USA Matteo Cimini UMass Lowell, USA Youyou Cong Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Robert Glück University of Copenhagen, Denmark Makoto Hamana Gunma University, Japan Michael Hanus Kiel University (co-chair) Zhenjiang Hu Peking University, China Atsushi Igarashi Kyoto University, Japan (co-chair) Ekaterina Komendantskaya Heriot-Watt University, UK Shin-Cheng Mu Academia Sinica, Taiwan Koko Muroya Kyoto University, Japan Klaus Ostermann University of Tuebingen, Germany Ricardo Rocha University of Porto, Portugal Tom Schrijvers KU Leuven, Belgium Harald Sondergaard University of Melbourne, Australia Hiroshi Unno University of Tsukuba, Japan Niki Vazou IMDEA, Spain Janis Voigtlaender University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Nicolas Wu Imperial College, UK Ningning Xie University of Hong Kong, China Jeremy Yallop University of Cambridge, UK Neng-Fa Zhou City University of New York, USA *** Organizers *** Michael Hanus Kiel University, Germany (PC Co-Chair) Atsushi Igarashi Kyoto University, Japan (PC Co-Chair, General Chair) Keigo Imai Gifu University, Japan (Local Co-Chair) Taro Sekiyama National Institute of Informatics, Japan (Local Co-Chair) *** Contact Address *** flops2022 _AT_ easychair.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
