Apologies for any duplicates you may receive. CALL FOR PAPERS =============== Fifteenth ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop ----------------------------------------------------------- Nara, Japan, September 23, 2016 Satellite event of the 21st ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2016) September 18-24, 2016 The Erlang Workshop aims to bring together the open source, academic, and industrial communities of Erlang, to discuss technologies and languages related to Erlang. The Erlang model of concurrent programming has been widely emulated, for example by Akka in Scala, and even new programming languages were designed atop of the Erlang VM, such as Elixir. Therefore we would like to broaden the scope of the workshop to include systems like those mentioned above. The workshop will enable participants to familiarize themselves with recent developments on new techniques and tools, novel applications, draw lessons from users' experiences and identify research problems and common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang, Erlang-like languages, functional programming, distribution, concurrency etc. We invite three types of submissions. 1. Technical papers describing interesting contributions either in theoretical work or real world applications. Submission related to Erlang, Elixir, Akka, CloudHaskell, Occam, and functional programming are welcome and encouraged. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - virtual machine extensions and compilation techniques - implementations and interfaces of Erlang in/with other languages - new tools (profilers, tracers, debuggers, testing frameworks etc.) - language extensions - formal semantics, correctness and verification - testing Erlang programs - program analysis and transformation - Erlang-like languages and technologies - functional languages and multi-processing - concurrency in functional languages - functional languages and distributed computing - parallel programming - pattern based programming - Erlang in education The maximum length for technical papers is restricted to 12 pages. 2. Experience reports describing uses of Erlang in the "real-world", Erlang libraries for specific tasks, experiences from using Erlang in specific application domains, reusable programming idioms and elegant new ways of using Erlang to approach or solve a particular problem. The maximum length for the experience report is restricted to 2 pages. 3. Poster presentations describing topics related to the workshop goals. Each includes a maximum of 2 pages of the abstract and summary. Presentations in this category will be given an hour of shared simultaneous demonstration time.

[TFP 2016] 2nd call for papers
by Peter Achten 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

----------------------------- C A L L F O R P A P E R S ----------------------------- ======== TFP 2016 =========== 17th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming June 8-10, 2016 University of Maryland, College Park Near Washington, DC http://tfp2016.org/ 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). Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised papers based on the feedback receive at the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these articles for formal publication. TFP 2016 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming events. TFP 2016 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take place on June 7nd. == INVITED SPEAKERS == TFP 2016 is pleased to announce keynote talks by the following two invited speakers: * Ronald Garcia, University of British Columbia * Steve Zdancewic, University of Pennsylvania == HISTORY == The TFP symposium is the heir of the successful series of Scottish Functional Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in * Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2003; * Munich (Germany) in 2004; * Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005; * Nottingham (UK) in 2006; * New York (USA) in 2007; * Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008; * Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009; * Oklahoma (USA) in 2010; * Madrid (Spain) in 2011; * St. Andrews (UK) in 2012; * Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013; * Soesterberg (The Netherlands) in 2014; * and Inria Sophia-Antipolis (France) in 2015. For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage. (http://www.tifp.org/) == 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 2016 program chair, David Van Horn. == 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. == SPONSORS == TFP is financially supported by CyberPoint, Galois, Trail of Bits, and the University of Maryland Computer Science Department. == PAPER SUBMISSIONS == Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a lightweight peer review process of extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (20 pages). The submission must clearly indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A draft paper for which ALL authors are students will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has taken place. We use EasyChair for the refereeing process. Papers must be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2016 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/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 == IMPORTANT DATES == Submission of draft papers: April 8, 2016 Notification: April 15, 2016 Registration: May 13, 2016 TFP Symposium: June 8-10, 2016 Student papers feedback: June 14, 2016 Submission for formal review: July 14, 2016 Notification of acceptance: September 14, 2016 Camera ready paper: October 14, 2016 == PROGRAM COMMITTEE == Amal Ahmed Northeastern University (US) Nada Amin École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) Kenichi Asai Ochanomizu University (JP) Malgorzata Biernacka University of Wroclaw (PL) Laura Castro University of A Coruña (ES) Ravi Chugh University of Chicago (US) Silvia Ghilezan University of Novi Sad (SR) Clemens Grelck University of Amsterdam (NL) John Hughes Chalmers University of Technology (SE) Suresh Jagannathan Purdue University (US) Pieter Koopman Radboud University Nijmegen (NL) Geoffrey Mainland Drexel University (US) Chris Martens University of California, Santa Cruz (US) Jay McCarthy University of Massachusetts, Lowell (US) Heather Miller École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH) Manuel Serrano INRIA, Sophia-Antipolis (FR) Scott Smith Johns Hopkins University (US) Éric Tanter University of Chile (CL) David Van Horn (Chair) University of Maryland (US) Niki Vazou University of California, San Diego (US) Stephanie Weirich University of Pennsylvania (US)

Haskell Summer of Code
by Edward Kmett 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

I'm sorry to announce that this year haskell.org was not accepted for the 2016 Google Summer of Code. There has been a lot of turnover over the last 3 years as they have rotated in and out new organizations, including many that have been in the program as long as us, so while this isn't entirely unexpected, it is disheartening. As this comes on the tail of our most successful year in the program, the news was particularly devastating to all involved. We do not expect this to be a permanent condition. Many organizations rotate back in and out of the Summer of Code each year. Operationally, this raises two main concerns: The first is that there will be a rather sharp dip in income for the next year for haskell.org. Last year's GSoC accounted for $9500 worth of income towards managing servers and the like, but we will not receive such a booster shot this year. The second is that we absolutely do not want the infrastructure we have in place around the Summer of Code to fall away. We had 50 mentors register last year! To address both of these concerns, we are exploring running our own self-funded *Haskell Summer of Code *this year*. *In December, we incorporated haskell.org as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. This now enables us to pay for work directly. We should be able to fund at least one slot out of pocket from existing haskell.org funds and fund additional slots with donations. https://wiki.haskell.org/Donate_to_Haskell.org More information will be forthcoming as we work out the details. Please feel free to contact me if you think you can help or if you have any questions or concerns. -Edward Kmett

=========== AFP Summerschool 2016 =========== Applied Functional Programming (AFP) Summerschool July 4-15, 2016 Utrecht University, Department of Information and Computing Sciences Utrecht, The Netherlands Summerschool & registration website: http://www.utrechtsummerschool.nl/courses/science/applied-functional-progra… AFP website : http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/USCS contact : Uscs-afp(a)lists.science.uu.nl *** The 2016 edition of the Applied Functional Programming (AFP) Summerschool in Utrecht, Netherlands will be held from 4-15 July 2016. The summerschool teaches Haskell on both beginners and advanced levels via lectures and lab exercises. More info can be found via the references above, included here is a summary from the summerschool info: ``Typed functional programming languages allow for the development of robust, concise programs in a short amount of time. The key advantages are higher-order functions as an abstraction mechanism, and an advanced type system for safety and re usability. This course explores Haskell, a state-of-the-art functional programming language, together with some of its theoretical background, such as typed lambda calculi, referential transparency, Damas-Milner type inference, type level programming, and functional design patterns. We will combine this with applications of functional programming, concentrating on topics such as language processing, building graphical user interfaces, networking, databases, and programming for the web. The goal of the course is not just to teach the programming language and underlying theory, but also to learn about the Haskell community and to get hands-on experience by doing lab exercises or a Haskell project of your own.'' The summerschool is organised and given by the Software Technology group (http://www.uu.nl/en/research/software-systems/software-technology) within the Department of Information and Computing Sciences (http://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/department-of-information-and- computing-sciences), a group which in the departmental research evaluation over the past years was singled out by ``...the functional programming activities are known to be world leading in their domain.'' *** regards, - Atze - Atze Dijkstra, Department of Information and Computing Sciences. /|\ Utrecht University, PO Box 80089, 3508 TB Utrecht, Netherlands. / | \ Tel.: +31-30-2534118/1454 | WWW : http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze . /--| \ Fax : +31-30-2513971 .... | Email: atze(a)uu.nl ............... / |___\

Many modern languages now provide some support for collective array operations, which are used by an increasing number of programmers (and non-programmers) for data analysis and scientific computing. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from many different communities, including language designers, library developers, compiler researchers and practitioners who are working on numeric, array-centric aspects of programming languages, libraries and methodologies from all domains: imperative or declarative, object-oriented or not, interpreted or compiled, strongly typed, weakly typed or untyped. The aim of this workshop is to foster the cross-pollination of concepts across domains, projects and research communities and to explore new directions, such as: + Expanding the scope of array programming to encompass a wider range of data types and computations, + Transparently utilizing parallel hardware (multi-core, SIMD, GPU, FPGA) by leveraging the implicitly parallel semantics of array operations, + Simplifying the embedding of array constructs within existing languages which weren't designed for numerical computing, + Connections between array abstractions and other models such as dataflow programming, stream programming, and data parallelism, + High-level compilation and optimization techniques for array-oriented programs, + Compilers, virtual machines and frameworks for array-oriented programming languages. *************************************************************************** Important Dates: Paper submissions: Fri, Apr 1, 2016 (anywhere on earth) Notification of authors: Wed, Apr 27, 2016 Camera-ready copies due: Fri, May 27, 2016 (anywhere on earth) Workshop date: Tue, Jun 14, 2016 *************************************************************************** Submissions: Manuscripts may fall into one of the following categories: + research papers on any topic related to the focus of the workshop + tool descriptions reporting on a tool relevant to the workshop area Submissions should be 4-8 pages for research papers 4-6 pages for tool descriptions. In the case of a tool description the workshop presentation should include a demo of the tool, and the submission should include a short appendix summarizing the tool demo.
