RV and RV-CuBES 2017 - Call for papers and tutorials
by Klaus Havelund 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

*RV 2017* *Call for Papers and Tutorials* The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification September 13-16, Seattle, WA, USA http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk rv2017(a)easychair.org 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, but are not limited to: - 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. We welcome contributions exploring the combination of runtime verification techniques with machine learning and static analysis. Whilst these are highlight topics, papers falling into these categories will not be treated differently from other contributions. An overview of previous RV conferences and earlier workshops can be found at: http://www.runtime-verification.org. RV 2017 will be held September 13-16 in Seattle, WA, USA. RV 2017 will feature a tutorial day (September 13), and three conference days (September 14-16). Important Dates *Papers* as well as *tutorial proposals* will follow the following timeline: - Abstract deadline: April 24, 2017 (Anywhere on Earth) - Paper and tutorial deadline: May 1, 2017 (Anywhere on Earth) - Tutorial notification: May 21, 2017 - Paper notification: June 26, 2017 - Camera-ready deadline: July 24, 2017 - Conference: September 13-16, 2017 Invited Speakers We are very pleased to confirm the following invited speakers for RV 2017: - Rodrigo Fonseca <http://cs.brown.edu/%7Erfonseca/>, Brown University, USA - Vlad Levin and Jakob Lichtenberg <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/drivers/devtest/tools-for…>, Microsoft, USA - Andreas Zeller <https://www.st.cs.uni-saarland.de/zeller/>, Saarland University, Germany General Information on Submissions All papers and tutorials will appear in the conference proceedings in an LNCS volume.

functional programming jobs at genomics company in New York City
by Ashish Agarwal 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Solvuu is a startup developing software for the life sciences industry. Our core technology is based on ideas from type theory and functional programming, and our software is implemented almost entirely in OCaml. We develop software across the full stack: cloud infrastructure management, job scheduling, data management and security, clients and servers for many APIs, rich websites, and much more. We are currently hiring 2 full-time OCaml programmers in New York City. We are open to a spectrum of qualifications, but basically the more OCaml you know the better (including related languages such as Haskell, F#, and SML). Ideal candidates will have at least 5 years of experience developing production software in one of these languages, whether in industry or as an academic active in the open source community. We are offering great compensation packages that include salary, equity, and the usual things like health care and a ping pong table. Most importantly, you will build great technology to advance society in areas as important as cancer treatment, drug discovery, and agriculture. And you get to do all of that in Manhattan, one of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in the world. To apply, please contact me directly (ashish(a)solvuu.com) with your resume/CV. International applicants are welcome, but the reality is getting a visa will be challenging. We are willing to try and may explore options for exceptional candidates. About Genomics: Our primary focus is on genomics, an industry driven by a dramatic decrease in the cost of DNA sequencing. Fifteen years ago it cost $100,000,000 to sequence a single human genome, today it costs $1000, and in a couple of years it is expected to cost $100.

Typed functional programming has been taken up widely, by industry and hobbyists alike. For many of us it has renewed our belief that code should be beautiful, and that programming can be as enjoyable as it is practical. Compose is about bringing together functional programmers of all levels of skill and experience — from technical leads to novices, and from long-time hackers to students just getting started. It will feature a keynote by Emily Riehl on aspects of category theory and computation, and two days of great talks. * Invited Talks Emily Riehl: TBA * Local Information (venue): http://www.composeconference.org/2017/ * Accepted Talks and Tutorials Barry Burd - Teaching Haskell David Rhodes - Learning F#: Case study with branch and bound Edmund Cape - Multiplying by 1 - an important form of computation and how it reveals distinctions between kleislis Enzo Alda, et al. - Reactive Sheets: an intuitive approach to functional‑reactive computing Hezekiah Carty and Chris Donaher - Distrest - REST access to distributed services Hongbo Zhang - BuckleScript: Making functional programming accessible to JavaScript developers Jennifer Paykin, Kenneth Foner, Antal Spector-Zabusky - `choose` Your Own Derivative Joachim Breitner - Lock-step simulation is child’s play Martín Ceresa, Gustavo Grieco - QuickFuzz Testing for Fun and Profit Michael Chavinda - Android programming in Froid Nikhil Barthwal - Implementing an Event-Driven Microservices Architecture in F#: A case study of Jet.com Nikita Volkov - New Hasql - a simpler, safer and faster Postgres client Sebastien Mondet - Typed-Tagless Final Bioinformatics Stephen Compall - Working with Monads in OCaml Stuart Popejoy - Smart Contracts and Formal Verification with Z3 with Pact Tikhon Jelvis - The Probability Monad Yaron Minsky - Data Driven UIs, Incrementally * Full abstracts: http://www.composeconference.org/2017/program * Registration: http://composeconference.eventbrite.com * Follow @composeconf on twitter for news: https://twitter.com/composeconf * On freenode irc, chat with fellow attendees at #composeconference * Corporate sponsorships are welcome.
