[ Please distribute, apologies for multiple postings. ] ====================================================================== LOPSTR 2016: Final Call for Papers / Deadline Extension ====================================================================== 26th International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation LOPSTR 2016 http://cliplab.org/Conferences/LOPSTR16/ Edinburgh, UK, September 6-8, 2016 (co-located with PPDP 2016 and SAS 2016) ====================================================================== NEW DEADLINES: Abstract submission (extended): June 20, 2016 Paper/Extended abstract submission (extended): June 27, 2016 ====================================================================== INVITED SPEAKERS: Francesco Logozzo (Facebook, USA) [jointly with PPDP] Greg Morrisett (Cornell University, USA) [jointly with PPDP] Martin Vechev (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) [jointly with SAS ] ====================================================================== The aim of the LOPSTR series is to stimulate and promote international research and collaboration on logic-based program development. LOPSTR is open to contributions in logic-based program development in any language paradigm. LOPSTR has a reputation for being a lively, friendly forum for presenting and discussing work in progress. Formal proceedings are produced only after the symposium so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers. The 26th International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2016) will be held at the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; previous symposia were held in Siena, Canterbury, Madrid, Leuven, Odense, Hagenberg, Coimbra, Valencia, Lyngby, Venice, London, Verona, Uppsala, Madrid, Paphos, London, Venice, Manchester, Leuven, Stockholm, Arnhem, Pisa, Louvain-la-Neuve, and Manchester. LOPSTR 2016 will be co-located with PPDP 2016 (International Symposium on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming) and SAS 2016 (Static Analysis Symposium). Topics of interest cover all aspects of logic-based program development, all stages of the software life cycle, and issues of both programming-in-the-small and programming-in-the-large. Both full papers and extended abstracts describing applications in these areas are especially welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of logic-based program development, including, but not limited to: * synthesis * transformation * specialization * composition * optimization * inversion * specification * analysis and verification * testing and certification * program and model manipulation * transformational techniques in SE * applications and tools Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective, and application papers that describe experience with industrial applications are also welcome. Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of questions). Important Dates Abstract submission (*extended*): Jun 20, 2016 Paper/Extended abstract submission (*extended*): Jun 27, 2016 Notification: Aug 3, 2016 Camera-ready (for electronic pre-proceedings): Aug 19, 2016 Symposium: Sep 6-8, 2016 Submission Guidelines Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in English) in PDF, formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science style. Each submission must include on its first page the paper title; authors and their affiliations; contact author's email; abstract; and three to four keywords which will be used to assist the PC in selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. Submissions cannot exceed 15 pages including references but excluding well-marked appendices not intended for publication. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them. Papers should be submitted via the Easychair submission website for LOPSTR 2016: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lopstr2016 (can be accessed also through the LOPSTR 2016 web site). Best Paper Award and Prize A best paper award will be granted, which will include a 500 EUR prize provided by Springer. This award will be given to the best paper submitted to the conference, based on the relevance, originality, and technical quality. The program committee may split the award among two or more papers, also considering authorship (e.g., student paper). Proceedings The formal post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Full papers can be directly accepted for publication in the formal proceedings, or accepted only for presentation at the symposium and inclusion in informal proceedings. After the symposium, all authors of extended abstracts and full papers accepted only for presentation will be invited to revise and/or extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the symposium. Then, after another round of reviewing, these revised papers may also be published in the formal proceedings.

FHPC'16 - reminder, and deadline extension
by David Duke 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Dear colleagues, Following several requests for an extension, the submission deadline for FHPC'16 has been extended by 5 days to 15th June. ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS FHPC 2016 The 5th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Functional High-Performance Computing Nara, Japan September 22, 2016 https://sites.google.com/site/fhpcworkshops/ Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2016) Submission Deadline: Wednesday, 15 June, 2016 (anywhere on earth) ====================================================================== The FHPC workshop aims at bringing together researchers exploring uses of functional (or more generally, declarative or high-level) programming technology in application domains where high performance is essential. The aim of the meeting is to enable sharing of results, experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative specifications of computationally challenging problems can serve as maintainable and portable code that approaches (or even exceeds) the performance of machine-oriented imperative implementations. All aspects of performance critical programming and parallel programming are in-scope for the workshop, irrespective of hardware target. This includes both traditional large-scale scientific computing (HPC), as well as work targeting single node systems with SMPs, GPUs, FPGAs, or embedded processors. It is becoming apparent that radically new and well founded methodologies for programming such systems are required to address their inherent complexity and to reconcile execution performance with programming productivity. Experience reports are also welcome. Proceedings: ============ FHPC 2016 seeks to encourage a range of submissions, focussing on work in progress and facilitating early exchange of ideas and open discussion on innovative and/or emerging results. To this end submissions should take the form of short (maximum 6 page) papers. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. * Submissions due: Wednesday 15 June, 2016 (anywhere on earth) * Author notification: Friday, 8 July, 2016 * Final copy due: Sunday, 31 July, 2016 Submitted papers must be in portable document format (PDF), formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (2 column, 9pt format). See http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm for more information and style files. Papers should be no longer than 6 pages. Contributions to FHPC 2016 should be submitted via Easychair, at the following URL: * https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fhpc16 The FHPC workshops adhere to the ACM SIGPLAN policies regarding programme committee contributions and republication. Any paper submitted must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy. PC member submissions are welcome, but will be reviewed to a higher standard. http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Review http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication Travel Support: =============== Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses. PAC also offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC programme, see its web page (http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm) Programme Committee: ==================== David Duke (co-chair) University of Leeds, UK Yukiyoshi Kameyama (co-chair) University of Tsukuba, Japan Baris Aktemur Özyeğin University, Turkey Marco Aldinucci University of Torino, Italy Jost Berthold Commonwealth Bank, Australia Kei Davis Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA Kento Emoto Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan Zhenjiang Hu National Institute of Informatics, Japan Ben Lippmeier University of New South Wales, Australia Rita Loogen University of Marburg, Germany Geoffrey Mainland Drexel University, USA Mike Rainey INRIA, France Mary Sheeran Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Satnam Singh Facebook, UK --- David Duke T: +44 113 3436800 Professor of Computer Science E: D.J.Duke(a)leeds.ac.uk Head, School of Computing W: www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/scsdjd/ PA: Gaynor Butterwick, E: G.Butterwick(a)leeds.ac.uk T: +44 113 3435767

New Haddock
by Dominic Steinitz 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

I couldn’t find an announcement of the new version of Haddock. You can now document your libraries even more beautifully. For example, > -- \[ > -- f(k;n,p) = \Pr(X = k) = \binom n k p^k(1-p)^{n-k} > -- \] will render as https://hackage.haskell.org/package/random-fu-0.2.7.0/docs/Data-Random-Dist… <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/random-fu-0.2.7.0/docs/Data-Random-Dist…> Also don’t forget you can put really nice diagrams in your documentation e.g. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/diagrams-contrib-1.3.0.7/docs/Diagrams-E… <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/diagrams-contrib-1.3.0.7/docs/Diagrams-E…> and http://hackage.haskell.org/package/diagrams-contrib-1.3.0.7/docs/Diagrams-T… <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/diagrams-contrib-1.3.0.7/docs/Diagrams-T…>.
