by Meng Wang 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

Dear Haskellers, Gabriele and I are organising PEPM this year. Over the years, PEPM has grown into a conference of general PL topics and Haskell/FP is strongly represented. We look forward to receiving your submissions. Best regards, Gabriele Keller (Utrecht University, Netherlands) Meng Wang (University of Bristol, UK) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** ** CALL FOR PAPERS ** ** PEPM at POPL 2024 ** Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION ** 16th of January 2024, London, United Kingdom ** ** Submission Deadline: ** 18 October 2023 ** ** https://popl24.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2024 ** https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pepm24 ** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2024 =============================================================================== * Website : https://popl24.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2024 * Time : 16th January 2024 * Place : London, United Kingdom (co-located with POPL 2024) The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM) has a history going back to 1991 and has been co-located with POPL every year since 2006. It originated with the discoveries of useful automated techniques for evaluating programs with only partial input. Over the years, the scope of PEPM has expanded to include a variety of research areas centred around the theme of semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic exploitation of treating programs not only as subjects to black-box execution but also as data structures that can be generated, analysed, and transformed while establishing or maintaining important semantic properties. Scope ----- In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2024 welcomes submissions in new domains, in particular: * Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and program optimisation. * Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed and concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types, linear types, and contract specifications. More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2024 include, but are not limited to: * Program and model manipulation techniques such as: supercompilation, partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program adaptation, active libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring, decompilation, and obfuscation. * Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive programming, staged computation, and model-driven program generation and transformation. * Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model manipulation such as: abstract interpretation, termination checking, binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems, automated testing and test case generation. * Application of the above techniques including case studies of program manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source) projects and software development processes, descriptions of robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications, benchmarking. Examples of application domains include legacy program understanding and transformation, DSL implementations, visual languages and end-user programming, scientific computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure needed for distributed and web-based applications, embedded and resource-limited computation, and security. This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions describing new theories and applications related to semantics-based program manipulation in general. If you have a question as to whether a potential submission is within the scope of the workshop, please contact the programme co-chairs, Gabriele Keller (g.k.keller(a)uu.nl<mailto:g.k.keller@uu.nl>) and Meng Wang (meng.wang(a)bristol.ac.uk<mailto:meng.wang@bristol.ac.uk>). Submission categories and guidelines ------------------------------------ Three kinds of submissions will be accepted: * Regular Research Papers should describe new results, and will be judged on originality, correctness, significance, and clarity. Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages. * Short Papers may include tool demonstrations and presentations of exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial, and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages. * Talk Proposals may propose lectures about topics of interest for PEPM, existing work representing relevant contributions, or promising contributions that are not mature enough to be proposed as papers of the other categories. Talk Proposals must not exceed 2 pages. References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices may not necessarily be read by reviewers. Both kinds of submissions should be typeset using the two-column ‘sigplan’ sub-format of the new ‘acmart’ format available at: http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ and submitted electronically via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pepm24 Reviewing will be single-blind. Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the two co-chairs). Accepted regular research papers will appear in formal proceedings published by ACM, and be included in the ACM Digital Library. Accepted short papers do not constitute formal publications and will not appear in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the workshop (physically or virtually) and present the work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected. Important dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline : **Wednesday 18th October 2023 (AoE)** * Author notification : **Wednesday 15th November 2023 (AoE)** * Workshop : **Tuesday 16th January 2024** Best paper award ---------------- PEPM 2024 continues the tradition of a Best Paper award.

18 Sep '23

* Apologies for multiple postings * ================================================================== Second AIxIA Workshop on Artificial Intelligence For Healthcare HC@AIxIA 2023 November 6 - 9, 2023, Rome, Italy https://sites.google.com/unical.it/hcaixia2023 CO-LOCATED with the 22nd International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2023) ================================================================== = IMPORTANT DATES (updated) = Abstract submission: September 20, 2023 (NEW) Paper submission: September 20, 2023 (NEW) Notification to authors: October 03, 2023 (NEW) Camera-ready copy due: October 10, 2023 (NEW) Main Workshop starts: November 06, 2023 (may be subject to slight adjustments, please check the website regularly) Working Group meeting: Right after the workshop = Background = In the latest years we have been witnessing the ubiquitous application of Artificial Intelligence in real-world domains; in particular, AI-based solutions significantly changed the game in the field of medicine and healthcare in several respects (research, management, clinical practice). Indeed, applications of AI in the healthcare domain became a major research topics, that attracts cross-disciplinary research groups. Medicine and health care require highly complex decision making to ensure that the trajectory a patient with a disease needs to take for diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and finally outcome is optimal in some sense. As a consequence, researchers have to draw methods from the entire field of AI. On the other hand, healthcare and medicine are built upon a rich and evolving body of knowledge, e.g., concerning the pathophysiology of diseases, molecular, genetic, cytological, and histological characterization of stages of a disease, described by temporal and spatial patterns. Such knowledge can also act as background knowledge to guide machine learning. In order to move towards effective and long-lasting applications of AI in healthcare, it is crucial to elucidate the relationship between what can be expected from AI methods when applied to healthcare problems and the role knowledge of healthcare and clinical medicine can play in developing AI solutions to health-care and clinical problems. = The Workshop = Following the success of the first edition, the HC@AIxIA workshop aims at gathering researchers from academia, industry and medical centers for presenting and discussing the latest research results and ongoing works related to the application and impact of AI in the healthcare domain, to the larger extent, thus aiming at covering a wide spectrum of topics, including theoretical and practical aspects, methodologies, technologies, and systems. Topics include, ***but are not limited to***: - Machine learning methods, data mining and statistical methods for clinical decision support - Probabilistic graphical models for clinical decision-making and causal networks - Learning, representation and reasoning with time - Knowledge representation, reasoning and formal argumentation in healthcare: - Methods for diagnosis, treatment selection, treatment planning, and prognosis - Monitoring patients in healthcare - Ontologies and medical vocabularies - Personalized medicine - Computer-interpretable clinical guidelines - Support for natural language generation/understanding in connection electronic patient records - Tools for supporting authoring, execution and maintenance of clinical protocols and guidelines - Tools for building and deployment of clinical decision-support systems = Contributions = The workshop will feature presentations of refereed contributions; four types of submissions are invited: - full papers; - short papers, which are particularly suitable for presenting work in progress, software prototypes, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects; - systems or prototype software descriptions: they must include a brief description, prepared according to the guidelines given for short papers, and a specification of the required hardware and software equipment. Systems of both research and industrial character are welcome. - papers already submitted to other conferences or journals, suitable for dissemination and opening discussion. Besides demos, some contributions might be invited to be presented as posters. = Submission Instructions = Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair system at the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcaixia2023 Articles must not exceed 15 pages for full papers and 8 pages for short papers, respectively. No page limit is set for non-original contributions. Manuscripts should be formatted using the CEUR-ART style available at the link: https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html. To ease the reviewing process, the authors of regular papers may add an appendix (although reviewers are not required to consider it in their evaluation). All contributions must be written in English. For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors is required to: - register to AIxIA 2023; - attend HC@AIxIA 2023 workshop and present the paper (each attendee should not present more than 2 works at the workshop). The event is organized by AIxIA. = Proceedings = All accepted original contributions (both full and short) will be published on CEUR-WS.org. Non-original communications will be given visibility on the workshop web site, including a link to the original publication, if already published. = Journal Special Issue = Workshop post-proceedings will be part of a special issue of the international journal "Progress in Artificial Intelligence", published by Springer (ISSN: 2192-6352) - provided that a sufficient amount of quality papers is collected. In such case, authors of accepted papers (including non-originals, if not published in a journal yet) will be invited to submit extended and revised versions of their papers. A second review formal process will be run in order to meet the expected quality of a journal. = Working Group Meeting All authors of accepted papers are invited to participate in the annual meeting of the AI and Healthcare Working Group of AIxIA, that will be held right after the workshop.

Experience Reports are articles reporting on systems and techniques developed in practice, such as artifacts, tools, mechanized proofs, and educational systems, both in academic and industrial settings. These articles must include a critical evaluation of the experience reported. Submitted and camera-ready experience report papers must be formatted in Springer’s LNCS, not exceeding 15 pages (excluding bibliography). Fresh Perspectives are articles that promote new insights on programming languages and systems in a particularly elegant way. These papers may offer new tutorial perspectives of known concepts or they may introduce fresh new insights and ideas that could lead to relevant future developments. Submitted and camera-ready fresh perspective papers must be formatted in Springer’s LNCS, not exceeding 15 pages (excluding bibliography). Springer's formatting style files and other information can be found on the Springer website: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… Review Process The review process is double-blind with a rebuttal phase. In submitted papers, authors should omit names and institutions; refer to prior work in the third person; and should not include acknowledgements that might reveal their identity. During the evaluation period authors are free to speak publicly about their work and distribute preprints of their submitted papers. However, authors should avoid actions that would reveal their identities, such as directly contacting PC members. Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esop2024 Accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Artifact Evaluation ESOP 2024 will have a post-paper-acceptance voluntary artifact evaluation. Authors will be encouraged to submit artifacts for evaluation after paper notification. The outcome will not alter the paper acceptance decision. Note: Artifacts may be submitted with an accompanying short 5 page experience report (including 1 page bibliography), that will appear in the conference proceedings. Journal-After Submissions Revised and expanded versions of accepted ESOP research papers are eligible for the ESOP Journal-After TOPLAS channel. A call will open in January at a predefined date after the ESOP notification, and to which all accepted papers may apply. A first light review round will be performed by the ESOP PC, to reach Reject or Revise decisions.

[apologize for multiple postings] ================================================================== Second AIxIA Workshop on Artificial Intelligence For Healthcare HC@AIxIA 2023 November 6 - 9, 2023, Rome, Italy https://sites.google.com/unical.it/hcaixia2023 CO-LOCATED with the 22nd International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2023) ================================================================== ******************** *** NEW DEADLINE *** ******************** = IMPORTANT DATES (updated) = Abstract submission: September 20, 2023 (NEW) Paper submission: September 20, 2023 (NEW) Notification to authors: October 03, 2023 (NEW) Camera-ready copy due: October 10, 2023 (NEW) Main Workshop starts: November 06, 2023 (may be subject to slight adjustments, please check the website regularly) Working Group meeting: Right after the workshop = Background = In the latest years we have been witnessing the ubiquitous application of Artificial Intelligence in real-world domains; in particular, AI-based solutions significantly changed the game in the field of medicine and healthcare in several respects (research, management, clinical practice). Indeed, applications of AI in the healthcare domain became a major research topics, that attracts cross-disciplinary research groups. Medicine and health care require highly complex decision making to ensure that the trajectory a patient with a disease needs to take for diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and finally outcome is optimal in some sense. As a consequence, researchers have to draw methods from the entire field of AI. On the other hand, healthcare and medicine are built upon a rich and evolving body of knowledge, e.g., concerning the pathophysiology of diseases, molecular, genetic, cytological, and histological characterization of stages of a disease, described by temporal and spatial patterns. Such knowledge can also act as background knowledge to guide machine learning. In order to move towards effective and long-lasting applications of AI in healthcare, it is crucial to elucidate the relationship between what can be expected from AI methods when applied to healthcare problems and the role knowledge of healthcare and clinical medicine can play in developing AI solutions to health-care and clinical problems. = The Workshop = Following the success of the first edition, the HC@AIxIA workshop aims at gathering researchers from academia, industry and medical centers for presenting and discussing the latest research results and ongoing works related to the application and impact of AI in the healthcare domain, to the larger extent, thus aiming at covering a wide spectrum of topics, including theoretical and practical aspects, methodologies, technologies, and systems. Topics include, ***but are not limited to***: - Machine learning methods, data mining and statistical methods for clinical decision support - Probabilistic graphical models for clinical decision-making and causal networks - Learning, representation and reasoning with time - Knowledge representation, reasoning and formal argumentation in healthcare: - Methods for diagnosis, treatment selection, treatment planning, and prognosis - Monitoring patients in healthcare - Ontologies and medical vocabularies - Personalized medicine - Computer-interpretable clinical guidelines - Support for natural language generation/understanding in connection electronic patient records - Tools for supporting authoring, execution and maintenance of clinical protocols and guidelines - Tools for building and deployment of clinical decision-support systems = Contributions = The workshop will feature presentations of refereed contributions; four types of submissions are invited: - full papers; - short papers, which are particularly suitable for presenting work in progress, software prototypes, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects; - systems or prototype software descriptions: they must include a brief description, prepared according to the guidelines given for short papers, and a specification of the required hardware and software equipment. Systems of both research and industrial character are welcome. - papers already submitted to other conferences or journals, suitable for dissemination and opening discussion. Besides demos, some contributions might be invited to be presented as posters. = Submission Instructions = Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair system at the link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcaixia2023 Articles must not exceed 15 pages for full papers and 8 pages for short papers, respectively. No page limit is set for non-original contributions. Manuscripts should be formatted using the CEUR-ART style available at the link: https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html. To ease the reviewing process, the authors of regular papers may add an appendix (although reviewers are not required to consider it in their evaluation). All contributions must be written in English. For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors is required to: - register to AIxIA 2023; - attend HC@AIxIA 2023 workshop and present the paper (each attendee should not present more than 2 works at the workshop). The event is organized by AIxIA. = Proceedings = All accepted original contributions (both full and short) will be published on CEUR-WS.org. Non-original communications will be given visibility on the workshop web site, including a link to the original publication, if already published. = Journal Special Issue = Workshop post-proceedings will be part of a special issue of the international journal "Progress in Artificial Intelligence", published by Springer (ISSN: 2192-6352) - provided that a sufficient amount of quality papers is collected. In such case, authors of accepted papers (including non-originals, if not published in a journal yet) will be invited to submit extended and revised versions of their papers. A second review formal process will be run in order to meet the expected quality of a journal. = Working Group Meeting All authors of accepted papers are invited to participate in the annual meeting of the AI and Healthcare Working Group of AIxIA, that will be held right after the workshop. = IMPORTANT DATES (UPDATED) = Abstract submission: September 05, 2023 Paper submission: September 13, 2023 Notification to authors: October 02, 2023 Camera-ready copy due: October 09, 2023 Main Workshop starts: November 06, 2023 (maybe subject to slight adjustments, please check the website regularly) Working Group meeting: Right after the workshop

Call for Papers: JFP Special Issue on Program Calculation (papers due 1st Dec)
by Graham Hutton 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

================================================================== JFP Special Issue on Program Calculation https://tinyurl.com/prog-calc We invite submissions to the Journal of Functional Programming Special Issue on Program Calculation. Notification of intent : 20 October 2023 Submission deadline : 1 December 2023 *** If you are attending the ICFP conference in Seattle this week, please feel free to speak with Nicolas Wu if you have any questions about submitting for the special issue *** SCOPE The idea of program calculation, in which programs are derived from specifications using equational reasoning techniques, has been a topic of interest in functional programming since its earliest days. In particular, the approach allows us to systematically discover how programs can be defined, while at the same time obtaining proofs that they are correct. The aim of this special issue is to document advances that have been made in the field of program calculation in recent years. TOPICS Full-length, archival-quality submissions are solicited on all aspects of program calculation and related topics. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Program derivation and transformation; - Inductive and co-inductive methods; - Recursion and co-recursion schemes; - Categorical and graphical methods; - Tool support and proof assistants; - Efficiency and resource usage; - Functional algorithm design; - Calculation case studies. The special issue will also consider papers on program calculation that are not traditional research papers. This may include pearls, surveys, tutorials or educational papers, which will be judged by the usual JFP standards for such submissions. 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. NOTIFICATION OF INTENT Authors must notify the special issue editors of their intent to submit by 20 October 2023. The notification of intent should be submitted by filling out the following form, which asks for data to help identify suitable reviewers: tinyurl.com/intent-to-submit If you miss the notification of intent deadline, but still wish to submit, please contact the special-issue editors. SUBMISSIONS Papers must be submitted by 1 December 2023. Submissions should be typeset in LaTeX using the JFP style file, and submitted through the JFP Manuscript Central system. Choose "Program Calculation" as the paper type, so it gets assigned to the special issue. Further author instructions are available from: tinyurl.com/JFP-instructions We welcome extended versions of conference or workshop papers. Such submissions must clearly describe the relationship with the initial publication, and must differ sufficiently that the author can assign copyright to Cambridge University Press. Prospective authors are welcome to discuss submissions with the editors to ensure compliance.
