Re: [Haskell] [Haskell-beginners] Restrict type in phantom data-type
by Baa 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

David, hello! 1. Is it the same/different as: data family Day a data Sunny data Rainy data instance Day Sunny = SunnyDay deriving Show data instance Day Rainy = RainyDay deriving Show ..and here you can not create `Day Int` object because no `Day Int` constructor (but you can create such constructor) ? Or in case with type families there is possibility to extend it to `Day Int` and in case with DayaKinds it's totally impossible? 2. I read somewhere (on forums) that restrictions on data types... I don't remember exactly, but something like they are not real restrictions or are related to old extension which is/will be deprecated. I'm not sure. Also, I'm not sure is it - in your example - restriction (constraint) or something else.

LAST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION RV’17 - RUNTIME VERIFICATION 2017 The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification September 13-16 2017, Seattle, WA, USA Website: http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk <http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk/> Program: http://easychair.org/smart-program/RV2017/ RV-CuBES Program: http://easychair.org/smart-program/RV-CuBES2017/ Affiliated Event: RV-CuBES - An International Workshop on Competitions, Usability, Benchmarks, Evaluation, and Standardisation for Runtime Verification Tools === OVERVIEW === Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally more practical than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime verification can be used prior to deployment, for testing, verification, and debugging purposes, and after deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for providing fault containment and recovery as well as online system repair. Topics of interest to the conference include: specification languages monitor construction techniques program instrumentation logging, recording, and replay combination of static and dynamic analysis specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems runtime checking of privacy and security policies statistical model checking metrics and statistical information gathering program/system execution visualization fault localization, containment, recovery and repair integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical systems, safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems software, autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy. === INVITED TALKS === Rodrigo Fonseca, Brown University, USA: “The Design and Applications for a Tracing Plane for Distributed Systems” Vlad Levin and Jakob Lichtenberg, Microsoft, USA: “Windows Driver Verification Platform” Andreas Zeller, Saarland University, Germany: “Learning Input Languages for Runtime Verification” === TUTORIALS === Ankush Desai and Shaz Qadeer, UC Berkeley and Microsoft Research, USA: “P : Modular and Safe Asynchronous Programming” Madhusudan Parthasarathy, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA: “Machine-learning State Properties” Adrian Francalanza, University of Malta, Malta: “Foundations For Runtime Monitoring” === VENUE === The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification will be held in the Sheraton Seattle Hotel situated in downtown Seattle. The venue is within walking distance of the famous Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Aquarium, and the Historic Seattle Waterfront. The weather in September still permits many open-air opportunities to shop, eat, and even sail in the Elliott Bay. Exceptionally well organized, Seattle’s public transport connects the conference venue with the Seattle Center, which is the home of popular attractions like the Space Needle, EMP Museum, and Chihuly Garden and Glass. === REGISTRATION === Registration is available using the web-based registration form, with online payment on a secure website. Please use one form per attendee. Different possibilities of registration are available: Tutorial Day Only (13th September): 210 USD Conference including tutorial day and RV-CuBES (13-16th September) Full Registration: 780 USD Student Registration: 580 USD === Program Committee === Wolfgang Ahrendt, Chalmers Univ. of Technology/Univ. of Gothenburg, Sweden Cyrille Artho, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Howard Barringer,The University of Manchester, UK Ezio Bartocci,Vienna University of Technology, Austria Andreas Bauer,KUKA Systems, Germany Saddek Bensalem,VERIMAG (University of Grenoble Alpes), France Eric Bodden, Paderborn University / Fraunhofer IEM, Germany Borzoo Bonakdarpour, McMaster University, Canada Christian Colombo,University of Malta, Malta Ylies Falcone,University of Grenoble Alpes, France Grigory Fedyukovich,University of Washington, USA Lu Feng,University of Virginia, USA Patrice Godefroid,Microsoft Research, USA Jean Goubault-Larrecq,CNRS & ENS de Cachan, France Alex Groce,Northern Arizona University, USA Radu Grosu,Vienna University of Technology, Austria Sylvain Hallé,University of Québec at Chicoutimi, Canada Marieke Huisman, University of Twente, Netherlands Franjo Ivancic,Google, USA Bengt Jonsson,Uppsala University, Sweden Felix Klaedtke,NEC Europe Ltd.

Announce: Haskell Platform 8.2.1
by Gershom B 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

On behalf of the Haskell Platform team, I'm happy to announce the release of Haskell Platform 8.2.1 Now available at https://www.haskell.org/platform/ This includes GHC 8.2.1, cabal-install 2.0.0.0, and stack 1.5.1, all with many bugfixes and improvements since the last platform release. A full list of contents is available at https://www.haskell.org/platform/contents.html Thanks to all the contributors to this release, thanks to all the package and tool maintainers and authors, and a big thanks to the GHC team for all their hard work. Due to GHC bug #14081 (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14081) we do not have Win32 builds in this release. We anticipate resuming support for Win32 once the current issues with GHC on Win32 are fixed in the next release. A list of new GHC changes is available at: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/ghc-8.2.11-released A list of cabal changes is available at: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install-2.0.0.0/changelog (note the support for the Backpack module system, as described at: https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpa…) The cabal documentation page is at: https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ A list of stack changes is at: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/ChangeLog/ The stack documentation page is at: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/ Happy Haskell Hacking all, Gershom (Note -- one feature we still have not implemented yet for the platform but would like to is a generic linux installer that allows one to set a custom location and does not require root. Anyone who would like to volunteer to help with this, please get in touch!)

Haskell in Leipzig 2017: last call for papers
by Wolfgang Jeltsch 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hi! I want to kindly remind you that the submission deadline of Haskell in Leipzig 2017 is on Friday this week. Looking forward to your contributions. ☺ Event: Haskell in Leipzig 2017 Time: October 26–28, 2017 Place: HTWK Leipzig, Germany Homepage: https://hal2017.softbase.org/ About ===== Haskell is a modern functional programming language that allows rapid development of robust and correct software. It is renowned for its expressive type system, its unique approaches to concurrency and parallelism, and its excellent refactoring capabilities. Haskell is both the playing field of cutting-edge programming language research and a reliable base for commercial software development. The workshop series Haskell in Leipzig (HaL), now in its 12th year, brings together Haskell developers, Haskell researchers, Haskell enthusiasts, and Haskell beginners to listen to talks, take part in tutorials, join in interesting conversations, and hack together. To support the latter, HaL will include a one-day hackathon this year. The workshop will have a focus on functional reactive programming (FRP) this time, while continuing to be open to all aspects of Haskell. As in the previous year, the workshop will be in English. Contributions ============= Everything related to Haskell is on topic, whether it is about current research, practical applications, interesting ideas off the beaten track, education, or art, and topics may extend to functional programming in general and its connections to other programming paradigms. Contributions can take the form of * talks (about 30 minutes), * tutorials (about 90 minutes), * demonstrations, artistic performances, or other extraordinary things. Please submit an abstract that describes the content and form of your presentation, the intended audience, and required previous knowledge. We recommend a length of 2 pages, so that the program committee and the audience get a good idea of your contribution, but this is not a hard requirement. Please submit your abstract as a PDF document at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hal2017 until Friday, August 18, 2017. You will be notified by Friday, September 8, 2017. Hacking Projects ================ Projects for the hackathon can be presented during the workshop. A prior submission is not needed for this. Invited Speaker =============== * Ivan Perez, University of Nottingham, UK Invited Performer ================= * Lennart Melzer, Robert-Schumann-Hochschule Düsseldorf, Germany Program Committee ================= * Edward Amsden, Plow Technologies, USA * Heinrich Apfelmus, Germany * Jurriaan Hage, Utrecht University, The Netherlands * Petra Hofstedt, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, Germany * Wolfgang Jeltsch, Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia (chair) * Andres Löh, Well-Typed LLP, Germany * Keiko Nakata, SAP SE, Germany * Henrik Nilsson, University of Nottingham, UK * Ertuğrul Söylemez, Intelego GmbH, Germany * Henning Thielemann, Germany * Niki Vazou, University of Maryland, USA * Johannes Waldmann, HTWK Leipzig, Germany Questions ========= If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Wolfgang Jeltsch at wolfgang-it(a)jeltsch.info.
