by Peter Achten 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

============== TFP 2022 =================== == MOVING TO ONLINE SYMPOSIUM, NEW DATES == =========================================== 23rd Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming 17-18 March, 2022 Online event https://trendsfp.github.io/index.html Due the pandemic, we have had to make TFP virtual this year. As a result, we've decided to push back the deadlines and conference date by a few weeks. In particular, the pre-symposium deadline for submitting the first version of your paper is now just after the ICFP deadline. == Important Dates == Submission deadline for draft papers Monday 7th March, 2022 Notification for draft submissions Friday 11th March, 2022 Symposium dates Thursday 17th - Friday 18th March, 2022 Submission deadline for post-symposium reviewing Wednesday 6th April, 2022 Notification for post-symposium submissions Friday 27th May, 2022 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. == 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 High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: * Research Articles: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work * Position Articles: On what new trends should or should not be * Project Articles: Descriptions of recently started new projects * Evaluation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 2022 program chairs, Wouter Swierstra and Nicolas Wu. == 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. == Instructions to Author == Papers must be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp22 Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed either before or after the Symposium. == Post-symposium formal review process == 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 received 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 == Guillaume Allais University of St Andrews José Manuel Calderón Trilla Galois, Inc.

by Ambrus Kaposi 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

COST Action CA20111 EuroProofNet Open call for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) Dear EuroProofNet COST Action participants, The next deadline is: * 16 January 2022, for STSMs during the period February - October 2022 (there will be more opportunities to apply, see https://europroofnet.github.io/grants ) A Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) is a research visit of an individual researcher from a country participating in the Action in a different country also participating in the Action. We encourage STSMs, as they are an effective way of starting and maintaining collaborations. Proposals are made through the e-COST system ( https://e-services.cost.eu/stsm) The coordinators for STSMs are Danijela Simic (University of Belgrade, Serbia) and Ambrus Kaposi (Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary). The procedure for proposing an STSM is described in Annex 2 of the Annotated Rules ( https://www.cost.eu/uploads/2021/10/COST-094-21-Annotated-Rules-for-COST-Ac… ). The main points about STSMs are: * An STSM must be between two different countries which are participating in the Action. * The typical duration is one or two weeks. We favor short missions so that more people can get funded. * The financial contribution for an STSM is a fixed grant based on the applicant's budget request and the evaluation of the application by the STSM assessment committee. The grant will not necessarily cover all costs of the visit. The grant only covers travel and subsistence and is transferred after the STSM has taken place. * Recommended grants: - up to EUR 120 for daily allowance (depending on the location) - up to EUR 400 for travel. - the total may not exceed EUR 4000 (this is a hard limit) * As part of the application form submitted through e-COST, the goals of the mission have to be described including how it contributes to the objectives of the Action (see https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA20111) which working group(s) it contributes to, and a confirmation from the host that he or she will receive the applicant. * Proposals should be submitted by the deadlines. * STSMs must end before the end of October. The criteria according to which funding will be decided are in order: * importance with regard to the research coordination objectives * inclusiveness target countries * age * gender * team with low resources * balance over the action life time between people, teams, countries and working groups. Within 15 days of the end of the STSM, a short scientific report must be submitted through the e-cost system along with the Host’s approval of the report. Regards, Danijela Simic and Ambrus Kaposi EuroProofNet STSM Coordinators

Postdoctoral Research Assistant position at University of Edinburgh
by Philip Wadler 27 Dec '21

27 Dec '21

The School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh invites applications for a postdoctoral research assistant on the SAGE project (Scoped and Gradual Effects), funded by Huawei. The post will be for eighteen months. We seek applicants at an international level of excellence. The School of Informatics at Edinburgh is among the strongest in the world, and Edinburgh is known as a cultural centre providing a high quality of life. If interested, please contact Prof. Philip Wadler <wadler(a)inf.ed.ac.uk>. Full details are here <https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1…>. Applications close at 5pm on 14 January 2021. The Opportunity: In the early 2000s, Plotkin and Power introduced an approach to computational effects in programming languages known as *algebraic effects*. This approach has attracted a great deal of interest and further development, including the introduction by Plotkin and Pretnar of *effect handlers*. Several research languages, such as Eff, Frank, Koka, and Links, support the use of algebraic effects. A few languages, including Multicore O'Caml and WebAssembly, support specific algebraic effects, and we may see general algebraic effects make their way into mainstream languages in the future. The proposed research has two focusses: (a) a simpler version of static scoping for algebraic effect handlers, and (b) gradual types for algebraic effect systems. The former is a question of how to match an effect with its corresponding handler. This issue arises when two effects have the same name, and you expect the handler for one but invoke the handler for the other. Some current solutions, like tunnelling and instance variables, are based on lexical scoping. However, despite this insight, tunnelling and instance variables are more complex than lexical binding of a variable to a value. In particular, the type system needs to track that an effect does not escape the scope of its surrounding handler (reminiscent of the funarg problem with dynamic variable binding). Can we do better? The latter is a question of how to integrate legacy code that lacks typed effects with new code that supports typed effects. Usually, integration of dynamically and statically typed languages is best explored in the context of gradual types, which support running legacy code and new code in tandem. To date there is only a tiny amount of work in the area of gradual types for effects, and important aspects of algebraic effects, such as effect handlers, have yet to be addressed. Overall, work to date on effect handlers is often complex, and attention is required to where ideas can be simplified, which is the ultimate objective of this project. Your skills and attributes for success: Essential • PhD (or close to completion) in programming languages or a related discipline. • Expertise and experience in relevant areas, including lambda calculus, type systems, and compilation. • Ability to implement prototype language processors in O’Caml, Haskell, or a related language. • Excellence in written and oral communication, analytical, and time management skills. • Ability to collaborate with a team. Desirable • Published research in programming languages or a related field, preferably in top-tier conferences. • Experience in presenting at conferences or seminars. • Knowledge of effect systems or gradual type systems. • Experience with a proof assistant, such as Agda or Coq. • Strong programming and software engineering skills. . \ Philip Wadler, Professor of Theoretical Computer Science, . /\ School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh . / \ and Senior Research Fellow, IOHK . http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/ The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

At least one author of each accepted paper must get registered. == Conference Description == Declarative languages comprise several well-established classes of formalisms, namely, functional, logic, and constraint programming. Such formalisms enjoy both sound theoretical bases and the availability of attractive frameworks for application development. Indeed, they have been already successfully applied to many different real-world situations, ranging from database management to active networks to software engineering to decision support systems. New developments in theory and implementation fostered applications in new areas. At the same time, applications of declarative languages to novel and challenging problems raise many interesting research issues, including designing for scalability, language extensions for application deployment, and programming environments. Thus, applications drive the progress in the theory and implementation of declarative systems, and benefit from this progress as well. PADL is a well-established forum for researchers and practitioners to present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation techniques for all forms of declarative programming, including functional and logic programming, database and constraint programming, and theorem proving. == Program Chairs == - James Cheney, University of Edinburgh - Simona Perri, University of Calabria == Program Committee == Andres Löh, WellTyped Chiaki Sakama, Wakayama University Daniela Inclezan, Miami University Ekaterina Komendantskaya, Heriot-Watt University Esra Erdem, Sabanci University Francesco Calimeri, University of Calabria Jan Christiansen, Flensburg University of Applied Sciences Konstantin Schekotihin, University of Klagenfurt Lionel Parreaux, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Lukasz Ziarek, University at Buffalo, United States Marco Maratea, University of Genova Marina De Vos, University of Bath Martin Erwig, Oregon State University Martin Gebser, University of Klagenfurt Michael Greenberg, Stevens Institute of Technology Paul Tarau, University of North Texas Pavan Kumar Chittimalli, TCS Research, India Pedro Cabalar, University of Corunna Roly Perera, The Alan Turing Institute Tomas Petricek, University of Kent Torsten Grust, University of Tübingen Tran Cao Son, New Mexico State University Yukiyoshi Kameyama, University of Tsukuba
