[TFP 2023 2nd Call for Papers] 24th International Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
by Peter Achten 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

# TFP 2023 -- Call for Papers (trendsfp.github.io) ## Important Dates Submission deadline: pre-symposium, full papers, Wednesday 23rd November, 2022 Submission deadline: pre-symposium, draft papers, Friday 16th December, 2022 Notification: pre-symposium submissions, Friday 23rd December, 2022 Registration: Friday 6th January, 2023 TFPIE Workshop: Thursday 12th January, 2023 TFP Symposium: Friday 13th - Sunday 15th January, 2023 Submission deadline: post-symposium review, Friday 17th February, 2023 Notification: post-symposium submissions, Friday 31st March, 2023 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. This year, TFP will take place in-person at UMass Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. It is co-located with the Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE) workshop, which will take on the day before the main symposium. Please be aware that TFP has several submission deadlines. The first, November 23, is for authors that wish to have their full paper reviewed prior to the symposium. Papers that are accepted in this way must also be presented at the symposium. The second, December 16, is for authors that wish to present their work or work-in progress at the symposium first without submitting to the full review process for publication. These authors can then take into account feedback received at the symposium and submit a full article for review by the third deadline, February 17. ## 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 High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: * Research Articles: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work * Position Articles: On what new trends should or should not be * Project Articles: Descriptions of recently started new projects * Evaluation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 2023 program chair, Stephen Chang. ## Best Paper Awards TFP awards two prizes for the best papers each year. First, to reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best overall paper accepted for the post-conference formal proceedings. Second, a prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. 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. In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, then that paper will receive both prizes. ## Instructions to Authors Papers must be submitted at: <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp23> Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed either before or after the Symposium. Further, pre-symposium submissions may either be full (earlier deadline) or draft papers (later deadline). ## Pre-symposium formal review Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted before the early deadline and will receive their reviews and notification of acceptance for both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that has been rejected for publication but accepted for presentation may be resubmitted for the post-symposium formal review. ## Post-symposium formal review Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance for presentation at the symposium. 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. ## Paper categories Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted as 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. ## Format Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS web site. ## Program Committee Peter Achten, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands Nada Amin, Harvard University, USA Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant, Untypable LLC, USA Laura M.

Sam Staton giving this year's LMS/BCS-FACS Evening Seminar (online) -- registration open until this Wednesday at 5PM, UTC
by Andrei Popescu 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

EVENT: Annual LMS/BCS-FACS Evening Seminar SPEAKER: Sam Staton, University of Oxford TITLE: Programming-based foundations for statistics DATE: Thursday, 17 November 2022, Starting time: 18:00 UTC VENUE: Online via Zoom EVENT PAGE: https://www.lms.ac.uk/events/lectures/lms-bcs-facs-evening-seminars REGISTRATION LINK: https://www.lms.ac.uk/civicrm/event/register?id=88&reset=1 Prior registration is required for attendance -- the registration site will close on Wednesday, 16 November, at 17:00 SYNOPSIS Probabilistic programming is a popular tool for statistics and machine learning. The idea is to describe a statistical model as a program with random choices. The program might be a simulation of a system, such as a physics model, a model of viral spread, or a model of electoral behaviour. We can now carry out statistical inference over the system, for example, by running a Monte Carlo simulation – running the simulation 100,000’s of times. As I will discuss in this talk, the idea of treating statistical models as computer programs also has a foundational appeal. If we can understand statistical models as programs, then the foundations of probability and statistics can be discussed in terms of program semantics. There is a chance of new foundational perspectives on statistics, in terms of programming languages and their formal methods. As I will explain, this programming-based foundation for statistics is attractive because there are some intuitively simple scenarios, such as inference over function spaces, which have an easy programming implementation, but for which the traditional mathematical interpretation is complicated. SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY Sam Staton is a Professor of Computer Science and Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. There he currently runs an ERC grant "Better Languages for Statistics". Before arriving in Oxford in 2015, Sam spent time in Nijmegen, Paris, and Cambridge. His PhD was in Cambridge with Marcelo Fiore (2007). Sam's main research is in programming language theory, but he is also interested in logic and category theory. He has recent contributions in probabilistic programming languages, and quantum computing and programming languages. Webpage: https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/samuel.staton/main.html
