by Nate Nystrom 23 May '19

23 May '19

# Tenth ACM SIGPLAN Scala Symposium **The Scala Symposium is inviting student talks and open-source talks until May 31. Please pass the word!** - London UK - July 17, 2019 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 (https://2019.ecoop.org/home/scala-2019) 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 2019 ( https://2019.ecoop.org) in London, UK. # 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 (nate.nystrom(a)usi.ch) if you are unsure whether a particular topic falls within the scope of Scala 2019. # Important dates # * Paper submission: April 16, 2019 * Paper notification: May 24, 2019 * Student talk submission: May 31, 2019 * Student talk notification: June 14, 2019 * Camera ready: June 7, 2019 * Scala Symposium 2019: July 17, 2019 All deadlines are at the end of the day, “Anywhere on Earth” (AoE). # 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 ( https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author) Scala 2019 submissions must conform to the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions ( https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/simultaneous-submissions) and to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy ( http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) 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) Sukyoung Ryu (KAIST, South Korea) * (PC Chair) Nathaniel Nystrom (USI, Switzerland) * (Sponsorship Chair) Jonathan Immanuel Brachthäuser (University of Tübingen, Germany) # Program Committee # - Aggelos Biboudis - EPFL, Switzerland - Edwin Brady - University of St. Andrews, UK - Franck Cassez - Macquarie University, Australia - Wolfgang De Meuter - Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium - Sebastien Doeraene - EPFL, Switzerland - Edward Kmett - Machine Intelligence Research Institute, USA - Doug Lea - SUNY Oswego, USA - Ana Milanova - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA - Ulf Norell - University of Gothenburg, Sweden - Nate Nystrom - Università della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland (chair) - Miles Sabin - Underscore.io, UK - Guido Salvaneschi - Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany - Marco Servetto - Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand - Daniel Spiewak - SlamData, USA - Mirko Viroli - University of Bologna, Italy # Submission Website # The submission will be managed through HotCRP: https://scala19.hotcrp.com.

CFP in Special Sessions: DS-RT 2019 - Cosenza, Italy, October 7-9, 2019
by Rodolfo I. Meneguette 22 May '19

22 May '19

Dear Colleagues and Researchers, Apologies, if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. ********** CALL FOR PAPER ********** DS-RT 2019, the 23rd IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulations and Real Time Applications, is running three special sessions this year: - Distributed Simulations of Distributed Systems - Agent-based Modeling and Simulation - Simulation of Urban Traffic Management and ITS These special sessions have a focused view on the specialized field of distributed simulations and real time applications. Authors are invited to submit works that contain novel approaches and trends in the areas delimited within these sessions. See below for more detailed descriptions of the special sessions. Accepted works will be published in the main track of IEEE DS-RT 2019 proceedings. ***** PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW ***** Submitted manuscripts must be in standard IEEE two-column format that is used for IEEE conference proceedings and must not exceed "8 pages" (2-page extension allowed), including figures, tables and references. Standard IEEE templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats can be found at: - http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html A submission may present preliminary results, propose new research direction, provide insightful retrospective, or offer a provocative viewpoint on important topics related to the considered special session. Papers will be selected based on their likelihood of generating insightful technical discussions at the special session and influencing future research. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference and the special session. At least one author of accepted papers must attend the conference and present its contribution. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by IEEE Press. ***** IMPORTANT DATES ***** Full paper submission deadline: May 30th, 2019 Paper acceptance notification: June 30th, 2019 ***** FOR MORE INFORMATION ***** For questions about the paper submission and review process, please contact the session organizers - find all relevant information on the corresponding web pages below. ***** DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIAL SESSIONS ***** * Special Session on Distributed Simulations of Distributed Systems * Distributed simulation (DS) is a valuable tool for understanding and evaluating distributed systems. The current computing trend sees businesses and individuals moving toward a more centralized infrastructure, namely the cloud. On the one hand, as the computing infrastructure at data centers is highly complex and distributed, DS becomes essential for diagnosing and gaining insights of the system. On the other hand, the scale and nature of interaction between different components in the cloud present new challenges and push DS's state of the art. Another computing trend that has potential to drive DS is internet-of-things. Such complex systems consist of a large number of autonomous, heterogeneous devices communicating with one another in non-uniform manner. DS is valuable not only for discerning system properties but also for predicting the devices' emergent behavior. Finally, users in online social networks make up large distributed systems. Insights of user interaction and the network's collective behavior --- the study of which fits well into the realm of DS --- bring significant value to both the society and the business of social network providers. This special session seeks to bring together experts and practitioners in the domain of DS to discuss new opportunities and challenges for DS. We welcome research papers on both theoretical and empirical issues. Web page: http://ds-rt.com/2019/dsimdsys_2019.htm * Special Session on Agent-based Modeling and Simulation * This special session focuses on general aspects and special properties for agent-based modeling and simulations that allows them to be applied on several scientific domains, such as sociology, physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, and economy. The session is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners, so they can present the current status of their work and discuss the challenges they face in developing solutions and applications for agent-based simulations. Consequently, the design of these simulations aims not only to social contexts but also to more technical domains, which involves highly complex interactive systems. Web page: http://ds-rt.com/2019/abms_2019.htm * Special Session on Simulation of Urban Traffic Management and ITS * This special session focuses on simulation tools and real-time simulation applications used in and for evaluation, management, and design of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), as well as Smart Cities. Such simulations are expected to offer prediction and on-the-flow feedback for the better decision-making, bringing up means for both the implementation of more complex traffic management systems and end-user applications. Off-line and real-time analyses of data collected from infrastructured systems (e.g. real-time traffic information), mobile, distributed technologies (e.g. communication devices), and socially-build systems (e.g. social networks applications) are of great interest for shaping and influencing how ITS solutions are designed. Thus, we are particularly interested in how these data and technologies can be incorporated in domain-related models and simulations. We aim to bring together experts from both industry and academia to discuss the challenges related to modelling and simulation for ITS.

[TFP'19 and TFPIE'19] call for participation
by Peter Achten 21 May '19

21 May '19

--------------------------------- C A L L F O R P A R T I C I P A T I O N --------------------------------- ====== TFP 2019 ====== 20th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming 12-14 June, 2019 Vancouver, BC, CA https://www.tfp2019.org/index.html ====== TFPIE 2019 ====== 8th International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education 11 June, 2019 Vancouver, BC, CA http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hage0101/tfpie2019/index.html 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 (see below at scope). Please be aware that TFP uses two distinct rounds of submissions (see below at submission details). TFP 2019 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming events. TFP 2019 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take place on June 11. == Invited Speakers == TFP 2019 is pleased to announce keynote talks by the following two invited speakers: Nikhil Swamy, Microsoft Research: Structuring the Verification of Imperative Programs with Functional Programming Frank Wood, University of British Columbia: Probabilistic Programming TFPIE 2019 is pleased to have the following invited speaker: Gregor Kiczales: Functional Programming at the Core of a High Throughput Software Engineering Curriculum == Scope == The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: Research Articles: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work Position Articles: On what new trends should or should not be Project Articles: Descriptions of recently started new projects Evaluation Articles: What lessons can be drawn from a finished project Overview Articles: Summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject Articles must be original and not simultaneously submitted for publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Topics suitable for the symposium include, but are not limited to: Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing Functional programming in the cloud High performance functional computing Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs Dependently typed functional programming Validation and verification of functional programs Debugging and profiling for functional languages Functional programming in different application areas: security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded systems, global computing, grids, etc. Interoperability with imperative programming languages Novel memory management techniques Program analysis and transformation techniques Empirical performance studies Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages (Embedded) domain specific languages New implementation strategies Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2019 program chairs, William J. Bowman and Ron Garcia. == Best Paper Awards == To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper accepted for the formal proceedings. TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students, acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors, and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then receive both prizes. == Instructions to Author == Papers must be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2019 Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed either before or after the Symposium. == Pre-symposium formal review == Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted before an early deadline and receive their reviews and notification of acceptance for both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that has been rejected in this process may still be accepted for presentation at the symposium, but will not be considered for the post-symposium formal review. == Post-symposium formal review == Papers submitted for post-symposium review (draft papers) will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance for presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised papers based on the feedback received at the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these articles for formal publication. == Paper categories == There are two types of submission, each of which can be submitted either for pre-symposium or post-symposium review: Extended abstracts. Extended abstracts are 4 to 10 pages in length. Full papers. Full papers are up to 20 pages in length. Each submission also belongs to a category: research position project evaluation overview paper Each submission should clearly indicate to which category it belongs. Additionally, a draft paper submission—of either type (extended abstract or full paper) and any category—can be considered a student paper. A student paper is one for which primary authors are research students and the majority of the work described was carried out by the students. The submission should indicate that it is a student paper. Student papers will receive additional feedback from the PC shortly after the symposium has taken place and before the post-symposium submission deadline. Feedback is only provided for accepted student papers, i.e., papers submitted for presentation and post-symposium formal review that are accepted for presentation. If a student paper is rejected for presentation, then it receives no further feedback and cannot be submitted for post-symposium review. == Format == Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS web site (http://www.springer.com/lncs) == Program Committee == Program Co-chairs William J.

Cfp: Special Section: Advances in Intelligent Transportation Systems in Smart Cities
by Rodolfo I. Meneguette 16 May '19

16 May '19

Special Section: Advances in Intelligent Transportation Systems in Smart Cities International Journal of Distributed Sensor Network 2017 Impact Factor : 1.787 Deadline for manuscript submissions: June 30, 2019 Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) comprise the union of several technologies with the aim of providing comprehensive optimization of the urban mobility of a city and bringing greater safety to drivers, as well as comfort and entertainment for passengers. As a result, ITS employ data, communication, and computing to provide services and applications for tackling and possibly solving a wide range of transportation problems in modern large cities. These applications rely on the collaboration between elements that integrate urban and transportation systems, such as sensors, mobile devices, and vehicles, for introducing real-time awareness of the environment. The appropriate junction of all these factors considerably contributes to the sensing and gathering of data for evaluation and later implementation of due responses by a control system. Due to the dynamic nature of entities in ITS, it offers a diverse set of challenges including, but not limited to, interoperability, high mobility, decentralization, anonymity, security, privacy, trust management, uncertainty, and pervasiveness. Besides these challenges, several issues like scalability, reliability, adaptability, and validity of available solutions are still unexplored. This Special Collection is expected to provide a platform for academics and industrial researchers to identify and debate technical problems and recent accomplishments associated with ITS. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: * Architecture, resource management and applications * Leveraging Fog Computing (Edge Computing) * Design challenges for protocol development in ITS * ITS security and privacy * Smart-cities-based Machine Learning; * Intelligent data mining and forecasting; * Multi-agent systems applications; * Inteligent structural engineering; * Computer graphics and performability; * Blockchain and remote sensing; * Ubiquitous computing; * Fuzzy logic and emerging applications in smart IoT/Cloud paradigms; * Designing energy efficient Road Side Units (RSUs) * Quality of Service (QoS) in ITS * Smart and connected vehicles: V2V; V2I V2X * Cloud based VANETs * Vehicular Cloud * Demand responsive smart vehicles * Detection, recognition, and classification of traffic * Vehicle location and event prediction * Autonomous vehicle technologies * Context-aware computing and Internet of Things Services in ITS * Artificial intelligent in ITS * Protocols and infrastructure and standards for ITS Guest Editors: Rodolfo Ipolito Meneguette, Federal Institute of São Paulo, Brazi, Luis Hideo Vasconcelos Nakamura, Federal Institute of São Paulo, Brazil Thiago Augusto Lopes Genez, University of Bern, Switzerland Stephan Reiff-Marganiec, University of Leicester, UK Manuscript Preparation and Submission Follow the guidelines in the International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/sam/manuscript-submission-guidelines . Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii .

Coimbra is a historical city and a municipality in Portugal. Among the many archaeological structures dating back to the Roman era, when Coimbra was the settlement of Aeminium, are its well-preserved aqueduct and cryptoporticus. Similarly, buildings from the period when Coimbra was the capital of Portugal (from 1131 to 1255) still remain. During the late Middle Ages, with its decline as the political centre of the Kingdom of Portugal, Coimbra began to evolve into a major cultural centre. This was in large part helped by the establishment of the University of Coimbra in 1290, the oldest academic institution in the Portuguese-speaking world. Apart from attracting many European and international students, the university is visited by many tourists for its monuments and history. Its historical buildings were classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2013: "Coimbra offers an outstanding example of an integrated university city with a specific urban typology as well as its own ceremonial and cultural traditions that have been kept alive through the ages." Its atmospheric, beautiful historic core cascades down a hillside in a lovely setting on the east bank of the Rio Mondego: it's a multicoloured collage of buildings spanning nearly a millennium. The conference take place in the environment of technology startups and laboratories within the installations of Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN). IPN is created in 1991 through a University of Coimbra initiative, Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN)2 is a private non-profit organization which promotes innovation and the transfer of technology, establishing the connection between the scientific and technological environment and the production sector. IPN mission is to leverage a strong university - enterprise relationship for the promotion of innovation, rigor, quality and entrepreneurship in private and public sector organizations by acting in three complementary areas: Research and technological development, consultancy and specialized services; Incubation and acceleration of businesses and ideas; Highly specialized training and promotion of science and technology. In the year of 2010, the Instituto Pedro Nunes incubator3 has been awarded as the Best Science-based Incubator in the world.
