Haskell eXchange 2016 - call for contributions
by Andres Löh 21 Jun '16

21 Jun '16

Hi everyone. The 5th edition of the Haskell eXchange is going to take place on October 6 and 7 in London, and we are still looking for contributions on all aspects of Haskell (and related programming languages). It does not matter whether you are going to present your own project or want to explain someone else's work. Talks can be about expert topics, but we also particularly invite talks aimed at beginners. You can offer short talks, normal talks or hands-on tutorials. The topic can range from purely theoretical research to practical experience reports, or even be something that we would never have thought about ... Please check https://skillsmatter.com/conferences/7276-haskell-exchange-2016 for more detailed information as well as the submission page. The deadline is soon: 30 June 2016. Registration is also open. Cheers, Andres

Submission deadline: Fri 8 Jul 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/splash-2016-posters Collocated Conferences and Symposia =================================== ## GPCE: Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences Generative and component approaches and domain-specific abstractions are revolutionizing software development just as automation and componentization revolutionized manufacturing. Raising the level of abstraction in software specification has been a fundamental goal of the computing community for several decades. Key technologies for automating program development and lifting the abstraction level closer to the problem domain are Generative Programming for program synthesis, Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) for compact problem-oriented programming notations, and corresponding Implementation Technologies aiming at modularity, correctness, reuse, and evolution. As the field matures Applications and Empirical Results are of increasing importance. The International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences (GPCE) is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques that use program generation, domain-specific languages, and component deployment to increase programmer productivity, improve software quality, and shorten the time-to-market of software products. In addition to exploring cutting-edge techniques of generative software, our goal is to foster further cross-fertilization between the software engineering and the programming languages research communities. Abstract submission deadline: Fri 17 Jun 2016 Paper submission deadline: Fri 24 Jun 2016 Website: http://www.gpce.org Call for papers (pdf): http://conf.researchr.org/getImage/gpce-2016/orig/GPCE16+-+Call+for+Papers.… Twitter: https://twitter.com/gpceconf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GPCEConference/ ## Scala Symposium The Scala Symposium is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share new ideas and results of interest to the Scala programming language community. We welcome a broad spectrum of research topics in many formats, going from student talks all the way to full 10-page research papers, indexed by the ACM Digital Library. Abstract submission deadline: Sun 17 Jul 2016 Paper submission deadline: Mon 25 Jul 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/scala-2016 ## SLE: Software Language Engineering Software Language Engineering (SLE) is the application of systematic, disciplined, and measurable approaches to the development, use, deployment, and maintenance of software languages. The term “software language” is used broadly, and includes: general-purpose programming languages; domain-specific languages (e.g. BPMN, Simulink, Modelica); modeling and metamodeling languages (e.g. SysML and UML); data models and ontologies (e.g. XML-based and OWL-based languages and vocabularies). SLE aims to be broad-minded and inclusive about relevance and scope. We solicit high-quality contributions in areas ranging from theoretical and conceptual contributions to tools, techniques, and frameworks in the domain of language engineering. Topics relevant to SLE cover generic aspects of software languages development rather than aspects of engineering a specific language. Abstract submission deadline: Fri 17 Jun 2016 Paper submission deadline: Fri 24 Jun 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/sle-2016-papers Twitter: https://twitter.com/sleconf Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SLEconference/ Workshops ========= SPLASH'16 will host a record number of 16 workshops: ## AGERE! Programming based on Actors, Agents, and Decentralized Control The AGERE! workshop is aimed at focusing on programming systems, languages and applications based on actors, active/concurrent objects, agents and – more generally – high-level programming paradigms promoting a mindset of decentralized control in solving problems and developing software. The workshop is designed to cover both the theory and the practice of design and programming, bringing together researchers working on models, languages and technologies, and practitioners developing real-world systems and applications. Abstract submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Paper submission deadline: Mon 15 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/agere2016 ## DSLDI: Domain-specific Language Design and Implementation Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation (DSLDI) is a workshop intended to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in discussing how DSLs should be designed, implemented, supported by tools, and applied in realistic contexts. The focus of the workshop is on all aspects of this process, from soliciting domain knowledge from experts, through the design and implementation of the language, to evaluating whether and how a DSL is successful. More generally, we are interested in continuing to build a community that can drive forward the development of modern DSLs. Submission deadline talk proposals: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/dsldi2016 ## DSM: Domain-Specific Modeling Domain-specific languages provide a viable and time-tested solution for continuing to raise the level of abstraction, and thus productivity, beyond coding, making systems development faster and easier. When accompanied with suitable automated modeling tools and generators it delivers to the promises of continuous delivery and devops. In domain-specific modeling (DSM) the models are constructed using concepts that represent things in the application domain, not concepts of a given programming language. The modeling language follows the domain abstractions and semantics, allowing developers to perceive them- selves as working directly with domain concepts. Together with frameworks and platforms, DSM can automate a large portion of software production. Submission deadline: Mon 15 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/dsm2016 ## FOSD: Feature-oriented Software Development Feature orientation is an emerging paradigm of software development. It supports the automatic generation of large-scale software systems from a set of units of functionality, called features. The key idea of feature-oriented software development (FOSD) is to explicitly represent similarities and differences of a family of software systems for a given application domain (e.g., database systems, banking software, text processing systems) with the goal of reusing software artifacts among the family members. Submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://www.fosd.net/workshop2016 Call for papers: http://conf.researchr.org/getImage/FOSD-2016/orig/FOSD+2016+-+CFP.pdf ## ITSLE: Industry Track Software Language Engineering Industry Track for Software Language Engineering (ITSLE) is a workshop to bring together practitioners and researchers from industry and academia working on the area of software language engineering. Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) techniques are being developed and used broadly in industry. However, as the size and complexity of software systems steadily increase, so does the cost of maintaining and improving the DSL and MDSE techniques and tools. It introduces new challenges such as language co-evolution, maintainability of legacy software using older version of DSLs and MDSE techniques, and extendability and scalability of these techniques. Some of these challenges have been addressed by the SLE research community and some remain unsolved. Submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/itsle2016 ## LWC@SLE: Language Workbench Challenge Language workbenches are tools for software language engineering. They distinguish themselves from traditional compiler tools by providing integrated development environment (IDE) support for defining, implementing, testing and maintaining languages. Not only that, languages built with a language workbench are supported by IDE features as well (e.g., syntax highlighting, outlining, reference resolving, completion etc.). As a result, language workbenches achieve a next level in terms of productivity and interactive editor support for building languages, in comparison to traditional batch-oriented, compiler construction tools. The goal of this workshop is twofold. First: exercise and assess the state-of-the-art in language workbenches using challenge problems from the user perspective (i.e. the language designer). Second: foster knowledge exchange and opportunities for collaboration between language workbench implementors and researchers. Submission deadline of solutions: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/lwc2016 ## META The Meta’16 workshop aims to bring together researchers working on metaprogramming and reflection, as well as users building applications, language extensions such as contracts, or software tools. With the changing hardware and software landscape, and increased heterogeneity of systems, metaprogramming becomes an important research topic to handle the associate complexity once more. Contributions to the workshop are welcome on a wide range of topics related to design, implementation, and application of metaprogramming techniques, as well as empirical studies on and typing for such systems and languages. Abstract submission: Wed 27 Jul 2016 Paper submission: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/meta2016 ## Mobile! Mobile application use and development is experiencing enormous growth, and by 2016 more than 200 billion apps have been downloaded. The mobile domain presents new challenges to software engineering. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing, with diverse capabilities including various input modes, wireless communication types, on-device memory and disk capacities, and sensors. Applications function on wide ranges of platforms, requiring scaling according to hardware. Many applications interact with third-party services, requiring application development with effective security and authorization processes for those dataflows. “Bring your own device” policies pose security challenges including employer and employee data privacy. Developing secure mobile applications requires new tools and practices such as improved refactoring tools for hybrid applications; polyglot applications; and testing techniques for multiple devices. This workshop aims to establish a community of researchers and practitioners, leading to further research in mobile development. Paper submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/mobile2016 ## NOOL: New Object-Oriented Languages NOOL-16 is a new unsponsored workshop to bring together users and implementors of new(ish) object oriented systems. Through presentations, and panel discussions, as well as demonstrations, and video and audiotapes, NOOL-16 will provide a forum for sharing experience and knowledge among experts and novices alike. We invite technical papers, case studies, and surveys in the following areas, related to theory of object oriented programming, new languages, implementation of languages, tools and environment, applications and related work. Abstract submission deadline: Thu 1 Sep 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/nool2016 ## PLATEAU: Workshop on Evaluation and Usability of Programming Languages and Tools Programming languages exist to enable programmers to develop software effectively. But how efficiently programmers can write software depends on the usability of the languages and tools that they develop with. The aim of this workshop is to discuss methods, metrics and techniques for evaluating the usability of languages and language tools. The supposed benefits of such languages and tools cover a large space, including making programs easier to read, write, and maintain; allowing programmers to write more flexible and powerful programs; and restricting programs to make them more safe and secure. PLATEAU gathers the intersection of researchers in the programming language, programming tool, and human-computer interaction communities to share their research and discuss the future of evaluation and usability of programming languages and tools. Paper submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/plateau2016 ## Parsing@SLE Parsing@SLE 2016 is the fourth annual workshop on parsing programming languages. The intended participants are the authors of parser generation tools and parsers for programming languages and other software languages. For the purpose of this workshop “parsing” is a computation that takes a sequence of characters as input and produces a syntax tree or graph as output. This possibly includes tokenization using regular expressions, deriving trees using context-free grammars, and mapping to abstract syntax trees. The goal is to bring together today’s experts in the field of parsing, in order to explore open questions and possibly forge new collaborations. The topics may include algorithms, implementation and generation techniques, syntax and semantics of meta formalisms (BNF), etc. We expect to attract participants that have been or are developing theory, techniques and tools in the broad area of parsing. Abstract submission deadline: Fri 9 Sep 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/parsing2016 ## REBLS: Reactive and Event-based Languages & Systems Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely related programming styles that are becoming ever more important with the advent of advanced HPC technology and the ever increasing requirement for our applications to run on the web or on collaborating mobile devices. A number of publications on middleware and language design — so-called reactive and event-based languages and systems (REBLS) — have already seen the light, but the field still raises several questions. For example, the interaction with mainstream language concepts is poorly understood, implementation technology is in its infancy and modularity mechanisms are almost totally lacking. Moreover, large applications are still to be developed and patterns and tools for developing reactive applications is an area that is vastly unexplored. Paper submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/rebls2016 ## RUMPLE: ReUsable and Modular Programming Language Ecosystems The RUMPLE’16 workshop is a venue for discussing a wide range of topics related to modular approaches to programming language implementation, extensible virtual machine architectures, as well as reusable runtime components such as dynamic compilers, interpreters, or garbage collectors. One of the main goals of the workshop is to bring together both researchers and practitioners and facilitate effective sharing of their respective experiences and ideas. We welcome presentation proposals in the form of extended abstracts discussing experiences, work-in-progress, as well as future visions from the academic as well as industrial perspective. Extended abstract submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/rumple2016 ## SA-MDE: Tutorial on MDD with Model Catalogue and Semantic Booster With the model-driven development (MDD) approach to software, rather than building each system from scratch, one specifies a metamodel covering a whole class of similar systems, provides a universal generator to transform metamodel instances into executable programs, and specifies each system by a higher-level model conforming to the metamodel. When the application domain concerns semantically rich datasets—with structured entities, interlinked data, and sophisticated integrity constraints—then the MDD tools should support this richness: in the metamodel, in individual system models, and in the generation process. In this tutorial, we present the Model Catalogue and Semantic Booster, tools respectively for curating and exploiting semantically rich data in a MDD workflow, which are under development as part of ALIGNED. Participants will learn what the tools can do, gain hands-on experience with using them, and be able to contribute challenges and suggestions for future development. Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/samde2016 ## SEPS: Software Engineering for Parallel Systems This workshop provides a stable forum for researchers and practitioners dealing with compelling challenges of the software development life cycle on modern parallel platforms. The increased complexity of parallel applications on modern parallel platforms (e.g. multicore/manycore, distributed or hybrid) requires more insight into development processes, and necessitates the use of advanced methods and techniques supporting developers in creating parallel applications or parallelizing and re-engineering sequential legacy applications. We aim to advance the state of the art in different phases of parallel software development, covering software engineering aspects such as requirements engineering and software specification; design and implementation; program analysis, profiling and tuning; testing and debugging. Paper submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/seps2016 ## VMIL: Virtual Machines and Intermediate Languages The VMIL workshop is a forum for research in virtual machines and intermediate languages. It is dedicated to identifying programming mechanisms and constructs that are currently realized as code transformations or implemented in libraries but should rather be supported at VM level. Candidates for such mechanisms and constructs include modularity mechanisms (aspects, context-dependent layers), concurrency (threads and locking, actors, capsules, processes, software transactional memory), transactions, development tools (profilers, runtime verification), etc. Topics of interest include the investigation of which such mechanisms are worthwhile candidates for integration with the run-time environment, how said mechanisms can be elegantly (and reusably) expressed at the intermediate language level (e.g., in bytecode), how their implementations can be optimized, and how virtual machine architectures might be shaped to facilitate such implementation efforts. Paper submission deadline: Mon 1 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/vmil2016 ## WODA: Workshop on Dynamic Analysis The International Workshop on Dynamic Analysis (WODA) is the place where researchers interested in dynamic analysis and related topics can meet and discuss current research, issues, and trends in the field. WODA exists since 2003 and has been co-located with several different SE/PL conferences in the past, including ICSE, ISSTA, ASPLOS, and SPLASH. See https://sites.google.com/site/scwoda/ for the history of WODA. The 2016 edition of WODA will be a mix of invited talks by high-visibility researchers in the community and presentations of submitted workshop papers. Submission deadline: Fri 19 Aug 2016 Website: http://2016.splashcon.org/track/woda2016 # SPLASH Supporters SPLASH'16 is kindly supported by the following organizations: - ACM: http://www.acm.org/ - SIGPLAN: http://www.sigplan.org/ - LogicBlox (Gold): http://www.logicblox.com/ - Oracle (Silver): http://www.oracle.com/index.html - TU Delft (Silver): http://tudelft.nl/ - Huawei (Bronze): http://www.huawei.com/en/ - Facebook (Bronze): https://research.facebook.com/ - IBM Research (Bronze): http://www.research.ibm.com/ - Google (Bronze): https://www.google.com Want to support SPLASH'16?

JTRES 2016, Submission Deadline Extended to July 3
by Andrea Rosa 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

******** ******** The paper submission deadline has been extended to ******** July 3, 2016 ******** ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th Workshop on Java Technologies for Real-Time and Embedded Systems JTRES 2016 Part of the Managed Languages & Runtimes Week 2016 29 August - 2 September 2016 Lugano, Switzerland http://jtres2016.compute.dtu.dk/ ====================================================================== Submission deadline: 3 July, 2016 Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jtres2016 ====================================================================== Over 90% of all microprocessors are now used for real-time and embedded applications. Embedded devices are deployed on a broad diversity of distinct processor architectures and operating systems. The application software for many embedded devices is custom tailored if not written entirely from scratch. The size of typical embedded system software applications is growing exponentially from year to year, with many of today's embedded systems comprised of multiple millions of lines of code. For all of these reasons, the software portability, reuse, and modular composability benefits offered by Java are especially valuable to developers of embedded systems. Both embedded and general-purpose software frequently need to comply with real-time constraints. Higher-level programming languages and middleware are needed to robustly and productively design, implement, compose, integrate, validate, and enforce memory and real-time constraints along with conventional functional requirements for reusable software components. The Java programming language has become an attractive choice because of its safety, productivity, its relatively low maintenance costs, and the availability of well-trained developers. ::Goal:: Interest in real-time Java by both the academic research community and commercial industry has been motivated by the need to manage the complexity and costs associated with continually expanding embedded real-time software systems. The goal of the workshop is to gather researchers working on real-time and embedded Java to identify the challenging problems that still need to be solved in order to assure the success of real-time Java as a technology and to report results and experience gained by researchers. The Java ecosystem has outgrown the combination of Java as programming language and the JVM. For example, Android uses Java as source language and the Dalvik virtual machine for execution. Languages such as Scala are compiled to Java bytecode and executed on the JVM. JTRES welcomes submissions that apply such approaches to embedded and/or real-time systems. ::Submission Requirements:: Participants are expected to submit a paper of at most 10 pages (ACM Conference Format, i.e., two-columns, 10 point font). Accepted papers will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series via the ACM Digital Library and have to be presented by one author at the JTRES. LaTeX and Word templates can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html Papers describing open source projects shall include a description how to obtain the source and how to run the experiments in the appendix. The source version for the published paper will be hosted at the JTRES web site. Papers should be submitted through EasyChair. Please use the submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jtres2016 Selected papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of the TBD. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: New real-time programming paradigms and language features Industrial experience and practitioner reports Open source solutions for real-time Java Real-time design patterns and programming idioms High-integrity and safety critical system support Java-based real-time operating systems and processors Extensions to the RTSJ and SCJ Real-time and embedded virtual machines and execution environments Memory management and real-time garbage collection Multiprocessor and distributed real-time Java Real-time solutions for Android Languages other than Java on real-time or embedded JVMs Benchmarks and Open Source applications using real-time Java ::Important Dates:: Paper Submission: 3 July, 2016 (extended) Notification of Acceptance: 28 July, 2016 (extended) Camera Ready Paper Due: 15 August, 2016 Workshop: 29 August - 2 September, 2016 ::Program Chair:: Martin Schoeberl, Technical University of Denmark ::Workshop Chair:: Walter Binder, University of Lugano (USI), Switzerland ::Program Committee Members:: Ethan Blanton, Fiji Systems Inc Ana Cavalcanti, University of York Peter Dibble, RTSJ M.

Reminder: 10 days to submit talks to CUFP 2016
by Alex Lang 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

This CFP and the form for submitting presentation proposals can be found at: http://cufp.org/2016/call-for-presentations.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2016 Call for Presentations Workshop for Commercial Users of Functional Programming 2016 Sponsored by SIGPLAN CUFP 2016 Co-located with ICFP 2016 Nara, Japan September 22-24 Talk Proposal Submission Deadline: 24 June 2016 The annual CUFP event is a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favorite language; and where one can learn practical techniques and approaches for putting functional programming to work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Giving a CUFP Talk If you have experience using functional languages in a practical setting, we invite you to submit a proposal to give a talk at the event. We're looking for two kinds of talks: Retrospective talks are typically 25 minutes long. Now that CUFP has run for more than a decade, we intend to invite past speakers to share what they’ve learned after a decade spent as commercial users of functional programming. We will favour experience reports that include technical content. Technical talks are also 25 minutes long, and should focus on teaching the audience something about a particular technique or methodology, from the point of view of someone who has seen it play out in practice. These talks could cover anything from techniques for building functional concurrent applications, to managing dynamic reconfigurations, to design recipes for using types effectively in large-scale applications. While these talks will often be based on a particular language, they should be accessible to a broad range of programmers. We strongly encourage submissions from people in communities that are underrepresented in functional programming, including but not limited to women; people of color; people in gender, sexual and romantic minorities; people with disabilities; people residing in Asia, Africa, or Latin America; and people who have never presented at a conference before. We recognize that inclusion is an important part of our mission to promote functional programming. So that CUFP can be a safe environment in which participants openly exchange ideas, we abide by the SIGPLAN Conference Anti-Harassment Policy. If you are interested in offering a talk, or nominating someone to do so, please submit your presentation before 24 June 2016 via the CUFP 2016 Presentation Submission Form You do not need to submit a paper, just a short proposal for your talk. There will be a short scribe's report of the presentations and discussions but not of the details of individual talks, as the meeting is intended to be more of a discussion forum than a technical interchange. Nevertheless, presentations will be recorded and presenters will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release form. Note that we will need all presenters to register for the CUFP workshop and travel to Japan at their own expense. There are some funds available to would-be presenters who require assistance in this respect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Committee Katie Ots (Facebook), co-chair Alex Lang (Tsuru Capital), co-chair Rúnar Óli Bjarnason (Verizon Labs) Mark Hibberd (Ambiata) Mirai Ikebuchi (Nagoya University) Paul Khuong (AppNexus) Carin Meier (Cognitect) Kenji Rikitake (Kenji Rikitake Professional Engineer's Office) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- More information For more information on CUFP, including videos of presentations from previous years, take a look at the CUFP website at http://cufp.org. Note that presenters, like other attendees, will need to register for the event. Acceptance and rejection letters will be sent out by July 15th. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Guidance on giving a great CUFP talk Focus on the interesting bits: Think about what will distinguish your talk, and what will engage the audience, and focus there. There are a number of places to look for those interesting bits. Setting: FP is pretty well-established in some areas, including formal verification, financial processing, and server-side web services. An unusual setting can be a source of interest. If you're deploying FP-based mobile UIs or building servers on oil rigs, then the challenges of that scenario are worth focusing on. Did FP help or hinder in adapting to the setting? Technology: The CUFP audience is hungry to learn about how FP techniques work in practice. What design patterns have you applied, and to what areas? Did you use functional reactive programming for user interfaces, or DSLs for playing chess, or fault-tolerant actors for large-scale geological data processing? Teach us something about the techniques you used, and why we should consider using them ourselves. Getting things done: How did you deal with large-scale software development in the absence of pre-existing support tools that are often expected in larger commercial environments (IDEs, coverage tools, debuggers, profilers) and without larger, proven bodies of libraries? Did you hit any brick walls that required support from the community? Don't just be a cheerleader: It's easy to write a rah-rah talk about how well FP worked for you, but CUFP is more interesting when the talks also cover what doesn't work. Even when the results were all great, you should spend more time on the challenges along the way than on the parts that went smoothly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
