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. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ------------------------------------------------------ - Ambient Assisted Living for Elderly Care - Ambient Intelligence and Intelligent Service Systems - Analysis and Evaluation of Healthcare Systems - Clinical Data and Knowledge Management - Cloud Computing for Healthcare - Collaboration Technologies for Healthcare - Context-aware Applications for Patient Monitoring and Care - Data mining Techniques and Data Warehouses in Healthcare - Data Visualization - Decision Support Systems in Healthcare - Design and Development Methodologies for Healthcare Systems - Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologies in Healthcare - Digital Hospitals - Drug Information Systems - E-health & m-health - Electronic Health Records (EHR) & Personal Health Records (PHR) - Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) - Healthgrids - Health Portals - Information and Knowledge Processing in Healthcare Environments - Middleware Support for Smart Homes and Intelligent Applications - Quantified Self for Pervasive Healthcare - Privacy, Confidentiality and Security Issues in Healthcare Systems - Related Real World Experimentations and Case Studies in Healthcare - RFID Solutions for Healthcare - Smart Homes and Home Care Intelligent Environments - Telemedicine and Health Telematics - Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing in Healthcare - Usability & Socio Technical studies - User Interface Design for Healthcare Applications - Virtual and Augmented Reality in Healthcare - Virtual Environments for Healthcare Committees ------------- General Chair Heiko Gewald, The Neu-Ulm University of Applied, Germany Joel J.

by Severus Winston 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

=================================================================== Call for Papers =================================================================== i-Day 2019 - Industry Day 3rd World Congress on Formal Methods Porto, Portugal, October 7-11, 2019 =================================================================== FM’19 is the third world congress on Formal Methods. The FM series of events has been notably successful in bringing together innovators and practitioners in precise mathematical methods for software and systems development, industrial users, as well as researchers. The Industry Day (i-Day) is a forum organized in conjunction with FM and targeting industrial development and use of formal methods. The objective of i-Day is to bring industry to the congress, and to foster the important discussion about where state of the art in formal methods is today, seen from an industry point of view (http://formalmethods2019.inesctec.pt/?page_id=353) The i-Day will host two keynotes, Michael Leuschel (University of Dusseldorf) and Constance Heitmeyer (Naval Research Laboratory), and several presentations selected through a call for papers. The i-Day welcomes short papers and extended abstracts describing industrial applications of formal methods, experience with introducing formal methods in industry, tool usage reports and experiments with challenge problems. Authors are encouraged to explain how the use of formal methods has overcome engineering and certification/qualification problems, led to improvements in design or provided new insights, with safety and/or security consideration in mind. Topics of particular interest include (but are not restricted to): - formal modelling and verification techniques - safety and security - autonomous vehicles - explainable AI We can accept two types of submission: - Industrial experience reports or research papers with strong connexion with industry – not more than 10 pages in length (including appendices and references), - Extended abstracts - between 2 and 4 pages. The selection will be based on the innovative aspects of the subject and its connexion with current topics. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference. To submit your paper go to the conference submission site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=id20191) Submissions must be formatted in the Springer LNCS format. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series, as part of the FM conference proceedings. Important dates - 03 May 2019 abstract submission - 10 May 2019 full paper submission deadline - 14 June 2019 notification - 14 July 2019 camera-ready papers submitted - 11 October 2019 Industry Day in Porto I-Day Chairs Joe Kiniry, Galois, Inc Thierry Lecomte, ClearSy

[TFP'19] second call for papers: Trends in Functional Programming 2019, 12-14 June 2019, Vancouver, BC, CA
by Peter Achten 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

-------------------------------- 2 N D C A L L F O R P A P E R S -------------------------------- ====== TFP 2019 ====== 20th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming 12-14 June, 2019 Vancouver, BC, CA https://www.tfp2019.org/index.html == Important Dates == Submission Deadline for pre-symposium formal review Thursday, March 28, 2019 Sumbission Deadline for Draft Papers Thursday, May 9, 2019 Notification for pre-symposium submissions Thursday, May 2, 2019 Notification for Draft Papers Tuesday, May 14, 1029 TFPIE Tuesday, June 11, 2019 Symposium Wednesday, June 12, 2019 – Friday, June 14, 2019 Notification of Student Paper Feedback Friday June 21, 2019 Submission Deadline for revised Draft Papers (post-symposium formal review) Thursday, August 1, 2019 Notification for post-symposium submissions Thursday, October 24, 2019 Camera Ready Deadline (both pre- and post-symposium) Friday, November 29, 2019 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. == 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.
