FIRST Call For Papers FLOPS 2020: 15th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming =============================== 23-25 April, 2020, Akita, Japan https://www.ipl.riec.tohoku.ac.jp/FLOPS2020/ Writing down detailed computational steps is not the only way of programming. An 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 of programming include functional and logic programming, program transformation and rewriting, and extracting programs from proofs of their correctness. FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and implementors of the declarative programming paradigm, 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 the 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 ross-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 on the web 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 2020 will employ a lightweight 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 an initial 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 EasyChair which will be available soon from the Web Site of FLOPS 2020. *** Proceedings *** The proceedings will be published by Springer International Publishing in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. *** Important Dates *** 15 November 2019 (AoE): Abstract submission 22 November 2019 (AoE): Submission deadline 24 January 2020: Author notification 16 February 2020: Camera ready due 23-25 April 2020: FLOPS Symposium *** Organizers *** Keisuke Nakano Tohoku University, Japan (PC Co-Chair, General Chair) Kostis Sagonas Uppsala University, Sweden (PC Co-Chair) Kazuyuki Asada Tohoku University, Japan (Local Co-Chair) Ryoma Sin'ya Akita University, Japan (Local Co-Chair) Katsuhiro Ueno Tohoku University, Japan (Local Co-Chair) *** Contact Address *** flops2020 _AT_ easychair.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >

Submitted papers must be formatted following the [ACM SIGPLAN Proceedings](http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/) format using the `acmart` style with the `sigplan` option, which provides a two-column style, using 10 point font for the main text, and a header for double blind review submission, i.e., ``` \documentclass[sigplan,10pt,review]{acmart}\settopmatter{printfolios=true,printccs=false,printacmref=false} ``` Submitted papers should not exceed 12 pages, including tables and figures, but **excluding bibliography and clearly marked appendices**. The paper should be self contained without the appendices. Shorter papers are welcome and will be given equal consideration. Papers not conforming to the requirements concerning format and maximum length may be rejected without further consideration. CPP 2020 will employ a **lightweight 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 PC and external reviewers come to an initial judgment 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. In particular, important background references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors are free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as usual. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. POPL has answers for frequently asked questions addressing many common concerns: https://popl20.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2020-Research-Papers#Submission-and-R… We encourage authors to provide any supplementary material that is required to support the claims made in the paper, such as proof scripts or experimental data. These materials must be uploaded at submission time, as an archive, not via a URL. Two forms of supplementary material may be submitted: - Anonymous supplementary material is available to the reviewers before they submit their first-draft reviews. - Non-anonymous supplementary material is available to the reviewers after they have submitted their first-draft reviews and learned the identity of the authors. Use the anonymous form whenever possible, so that the materials can be taken into account from the beginning of the reviewing process. Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy and the ACM Policy on Plagiarism. Concurrent submissions to other conferences, journals, workshops with proceedings, or similar forums of publication are not allowed. The PC chairs should be informed of closely related work submitted to a conference or journal in advance of submission. One author of each accepted paper is expected to present it at the conference. ### Publication, copyright, and open access The CPP proceedings will be published by the ACM, and authors of accepted papers will be required to choose one of the following publication options: 1. Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM **a non-exclusive permission-to-publish license** and, optionally, licenses the work under a Creative Commons license; 2. Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM **an exclusive permission-to-publish license**; 3. Author **transfers copyright** of the work to ACM. For authors who can afford it, we recommend option 1, which will make the paper **Gold Open Access**, and also encourage such authors to license their work under the CC-BY license. ACM will charge you an article processing fee for this option (currently, US$700), which you have to pay directly with the ACM. For everyone else, we recommend option 2, which is free and allows you to achieve **Green Open Access**, by uploading a pre-print of your paper to a repository that guarantees permanent archival such as arXiv or HAL. This is anyway a good idea for **timely dissemination** even if you chose option 1. Ensuring timely dissemination is particularly important for this edition, since, because of the very tight schedule, the official proceedings might not be available in time for CPP. The official CPP 2020 proceedings will also be available via SIGPLAN OpenTOC. For ACM's take on this, see their Copyright Policy and Author Rights. ### Contact For any questions please contact the two PC chairs: Catalin Hritcu <catalin.hritcu(a)gmail.com<mailto:catalin.hritcu@gmail.com>>, Jasmin Christian Blanchette <j.c.blanchette(a)vu.nl<mailto:j.c.blanchette@vu.nl>>

PEPM 2020 Call for Papers
by Casper Bach Poulsen 01 Sep '19

01 Sep '19

-- CALL FOR PAPERS -- ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2020 =============================================================================== * Website : https://popl20.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2020 * Time : 20th - 21st January 2020 * Place : New Orleans, Louisiana, United States (co-located with POPL 2020) The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program Manipulation (PEPM), which has a history going back to 1991 and has co-located with POPL every year since 2006, originates in the discoveries of practically 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 subject 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 2020 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 2020 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, Casper Bach Poulsen (http://casperbp.net) and Zhenjiang Hu (http://sei.pku.edu.cn/~hu/) Submission categories and guidelines ------------------------------------ Two kinds of submissions will be accepted: Regular Research Papers and Short Papers. * 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 (excluding bibliography). * 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 (excluding bibliography). 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 HotCRP: https://pepm20.hotcrp.com/ PEPM 2020 will employ lightweight double-blind reviewing according to the rules of POPL 2020. Quoting from POPL 2020’s call for papers: “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 PC and external reviewers come to an initial judgment 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. In particular, important background references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors are free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as usual. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas.” See POPL 2020’s Submission and Reviewing FAQ page for more information: https://popl20.sigplan.org/track/POPL-2020-Research-Papers#Submission-and-R… Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the two co-chairs). Accepted papers will appear in formal proceedings published by ACM, and be included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of short papers, however, can ask for their papers to be left out of the formal proceedings. At least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the workshop and present the work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected. Suggested topics, evaluation criteria, and writing guidelines for both research tool demonstration papers will be made available on the PEPM 2020 web site: https://popl20.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2020 Student participants with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses and other support. PAC also offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC programme, see its web page: https://www.sigplan.org/PAC/ Important dates --------------- * Paper submission deadline : Friday 18th October 2019 (AoE) * Author notification : Monday 11th November 2019 (AoE) * Workshop : Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st January 2020 The proceedings are expected to be published 2 weeks pre-conference. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) Best paper award ---------------- PEPM 2020 continues the tradition of a Best Paper award. The winner will be announced at the workshop.

by Jurriaan Hage 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

Hello, Please, find below the first call for participation 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 31, 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. Papers must use the ACM two columns conference format, which can be found at: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Authors submit through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifl2019 ### Peter Landin Prize The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the symposium every year. The honored article is selected by the program committee based on the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros. ### Organization and Program committee Chairs: Jurrien Stutterheim (Standard Chartered Bank Singapore), Wei Ngan Chin (National University of Singapore) Program Committee: - Olaf Chitil, University of Kent - Clemens Grelck, University of Amsterdam - Daisuke Kimura, Toho University - Pieter Koopman, Radboud University - Tamás Kozsik, Eötvös Loránd University - Roman Leschinskiy, Facebook - Ben Lippmeier, The University of New South Wales - Marco T.
