13 May '21

CALL FOR PAPERS 19th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems (APLAS 2021) Oct 17-Oct 22, 2021, Chicago, Illinois (co-located with SPLASH 2021) https://conf.researchr.org/home/aplas-2021 The 19th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems (APLAS 2021) aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a forum for the presentation of the latest results and the exchange of ideas in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia but is an international forum that serves the worldwide programming languages community. APLAS 2021 will be co-located with SPLASH 2021. Due to the COVID-19 situation, all authors will be given the chance to present remotely regardless of whether the conference is held as a physical, virtual, or hybrid physical/virtual meeting. Papers are solicited on topics such as: - Semantics, logics, foundational theory - Design of languages, type systems, and foundational calculi - Domain-specific languages - Compilers, interpreters, abstract machines - Program derivation, synthesis, and transformation - Program analysis, verification, model-checking - Logic, constraint, probabilistic, and quantum programming - Software security - Concurrency and parallelism - Tools and environments for programming and implementation - Applications of SAT/SMT to programming and implementation Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums. Papers identifying future directions of programming and those addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms are especially welcome. Demonstration of tools in the scope of APLAS are welcome to the Tool paper category. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are welcome to consult with program chair prior to submission. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: June 16, 2021 (anywhere on Earth) Author response: July 28 - 30, 2021 Author notification: August 11, 2021 Final version: September 1, 2021 Conference: October 17 - October 22, 2021 CALL FOR REGULAR RESEARCH PAPERS We solicit submissions in the form of regular research papers describing original scientific research results, including system development and case studies. Regular research papers should not exceed 18 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. This category encompasses both theoretical and implementation (also known as system descriptions) papers. In either case, submissions should clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant. Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. System descriptions papers should contain a link to a working system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design. In case of lack of space, proofs, experimental results, or any information supporting the technical results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them. CALL FOR TOOL PAPERS We solicit submissions in the form of tool papers describing a demonstration of a tool or a system that support theory, program construction, reasoning, or program execution in the scope of APLAS. The main purpose of a tool paper is to display a completed, robust and well-documented tool-highlighting the overall functionality of the tool, the interfaces of the tool, interesting examples and applications of the tool, an assessment of the tool’s strengths and weaknesses, and a summary of documentation/support available with the tool. Authors of tool demonstration proposals are expected to present a live demonstration of the tool at the conference. It is highly desirable that the tools are available on the web. System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. They may include an additional appendix of up to 6 extra pages giving the outline, screenshots, examples, etc. to indicate the content of the proposed live demo.

Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be written in English. The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer’s LNCS series. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference. REVIEW PROCESS APLAS 2021 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Following this process means that reviewers will not see the authors’ names or affiliations as they initially review a paper. The authors’ names will then be revealed to the reviewers only once their reviews have been submitted. To facilitate this process, submitted papers must adhere to the following: Author names and institutions must be omitted and References to the authors’ own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work …” but rather “We build on the work of …”). The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission, makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult, or interferes with the process of disseminating new ideas. For example, important background references should not be omitted or anonymized, even if they are written by the same authors and share common ideas, techniques, or infrastructure. Authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. AUTHOR RESPONSE PERIOD During the author response period, authors will be able to read reviews and respond to them as appropriate. RESEARCH INTEGRITY The Program Committee reserves the right, up until the time of publication, to reverse a decision of paper acceptance. Reversal is possible if fatal flaws are discovered in the paper, or research integrity is found to have been seriously breached. The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

13 May '21

FHPNC 2021 Call for Papers ========================== Satellite event of the 26th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2021), held on the 22nd of August. TL;DR: Extended paper/abstract deadline to May 21st. Scope ----- The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional High-Performance and Numerical Computing aims to bring together researchers and practitioners exploring or employing the use of functional or declarative programming languages or techniques in scientific computing, and specifically in the domains of high-performance computing and numerical programming. The purpose of the meeting is to enable sharing of results, experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative techniques can help make high-performance, distributed/parallel, or numerically-intensive code dealing with computationally challenging problems easier to write, read, maintain, or portable to new hardware architectures. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * relevant compiler technologies * runtime systems (including fault tolerance mechanisms and those supporting distributed or parallel computation) * domain-specific languages (embedded or standalone) * type systems * formal methods * software libraries (e.g. for exact or interval arithmetic). Submission details ------------------ Submissions should fall into one of two categories: * Regular research papers (up to 12 pages) * Extended abstracts (1 - 2 pages) The bibliography will not be counted against the page limits for either category. Regular research papers are expected to present novel and interesting research results, and will be included in the formal proceedings. Extended abstracts should report work in progress that the authors would like to present at the workshop; they will be evaluated primarily for relevance and interest. Extended abstracts will be distributed to workshop attendees but will not be published in the formal proceedings. We welcome submissions from PC members (with the exception of the PC Chair(s)), but these submissions will be held to a higher standard. Submission is handled through the HotCRP site. All submissions should be in portable document format (PDF) and formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Submissions written with LaTeX are required to use the acmart format and the two-column sigplan subformat (not to be confused with the one-column acmlarge subformat!). Extended abstracts must be submitted with the label ‘Extended abstract’ clearly in the title. Submission link: https://fhpnc2021.hotcrp.com/ Publication ----------- The proceedings of FHPNC 2021 will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

CFP: SLE 2021 - 14th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering
by Andrei Chis 13 May '21

13 May '21

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2021) October 17-19, 2021 Chicago, Illinois https://conf.researchr.org/home/sle-2021 http://www.sleconf.org/2021 Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/sleconf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the 14th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2021), held in conjunction with SPLASH, GPCE and SAS 2021. Based on the future developments the conference will be hosted in Chicago, Illinois, United States on October 17-19, 2021 or will be held as a virtual event. --------------------------- Scope --------------------------- The ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE) is devoted to the principles of software languages: their design, their implementation, and their evolution. With the ubiquity of computers, software has become the dominating intellectual asset of our time. In turn, this software depends on software languages, namely the languages it is written in, the languages used to describe its environment, and the languages driving its development process. Given that everything depends on software and that software depends on software languages, it seems fair to say that for many years to come, everything will depend on software languages. Software language engineering (SLE) is the discipline of engineering languages and their tools required for the creation of software. It abstracts from the differences between programming languages, modelling languages, and other software languages, and emphasizes the engineering facet of the creation of such languages, that is, the establishment of the scientific methods and practices that enable the best results. While SLE is certainly driven by its metacircular character (software languages are engineered using software languages), SLE is not self-satisfying: its scope extends to the engineering of languages for all and everything. Like its predecessors, the 14th edition of the SLE conference, SLE 2021, will bring together researchers from different areas united by their common interest in the creation, capture, and tooling of software languages. It overlaps with traditional conferences on the design and implementation of programming languages, model-driven engineering, and compiler construction, and emphasizes the fusion of their communities. To foster the latter, SLE traditionally fills a two-day program with a single track, with the only temporal overlap occurring between co-located events. --------------------------- Topics of Interest --------------------------- SLE 2021 solicits high-quality contributions in areas ranging from theoretical and conceptual contributions, to tools, techniques, and frameworks in the domain of software language engineering. Broadly speaking, SLE covers software language engineering rather than engineering a specific software language. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Software Language Design and Implementation - Approaches to and methods for language design - Static semantics (e.g., design rules, well-formedness constraints) - Techniques for specifying behavioral / executable semantics - Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation) - Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches * Software Language Validation - Verification and formal methods for languages - Testing techniques for languages - Simulation techniques for languages * Software Language Integration and Composition - Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools - Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages) - Traceability between languages - Deployment of languages to different platforms * Software Language Maintenance - Software language reuse - Language evolution - Language families and variability * Domain-specific approaches for any aspects of SLE (design, implementation, validation, maintenance) * Empirical evaluation and experience reports of language engineering tools - User studies evaluating usability - Performance benchmarks - Industrial applications --------------------------- Important Dates --------------------------- All dates are Anywhere on Earth. * Mon 5 Jul 2021 - Abstract Submissions * Fri 9 Jul 2021 - Paper Submissions * Wed 1 Sep 2021 - Review Notification * Wed-Fri 1-3 Sep 2021 - Author Response Period * Mon 13 Sep 2021 - Notification * Wed 15 Sept 2021 - Artifact Submissions * Tue 28 Sep 2021 - Artifact Kick-the-tires Author Response * Tue 12 Oct 2021 - Artifact Notification * Sun-Tue 17-19 Oct 2021 - SLE Conference --------------------------- Types of Submissions --------------------------- SLE 2021 solicits three types of papers: * Research papers These are "traditional" papers detailing research contributions to SLE. These papers have a limit of 12 pages, and may optionally include 8 further pages of bibliography/appendices * Tool papers These are papers which focus on the tooling aspects which are often forgotten or neglected in research papers. A good tool paper focuses on practical insights that are likely to be useful to other implementers or users in the future. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography / appendices. They may optionally come with an appendix with a demo outline / screenshots and/or a short video/screencast illustrating the tool. The title of a Tool paper must start with "Tool Demo:". *New ideas / vision papers These are papers on forward-looking, innovative research in software language engineering. Our aim here is to accelerate the exposure of the software language engineering community to early yet potentially ground-breaking research results, or to techniques and perspectives that challenge the status quo in the discipline. New ideas / vision papers must not exceed 5 pages, and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography / appendices. The title of a new ideas / vision papers must start with "New Ideas:" or "Vision:". --------------------------- Artifact Evaluation --------------------------- For the sixth year, SLE will use an evaluation process for assessing the quality of the artifacts on which papers are based to foster the culture of experimental reproducibility. Authors of accepted papers are invited to submit artifacts. For more information, please have a look at the Artifact Evaluation page (http://www.sleconf.org/2021/ArtifactEvaluation.html) --------------------------- Submission --------------------------- Submissions have to use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format “acmart” ( http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format) please make sure that you always use the latest ACM SIGPLAN acmart LaTeX template( https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t…) and that the document class definition is \documentclass[sigplan,anonymous,review]{acmart}. Do not make any changes to this format! Ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes in figures and tables are legible. To increase fairness in reviewing, a double-blind review process has become standard across SIGPLAN conferences. In this line, SLE will follow the double-blind process. Author names and institutions should be omitted from submitted papers, and references to the authors’ own related work should be in the third person. No other changes are necessary, and authors will not be penalized if reviewers are able to infer their identities in implicit ways. All submissions must be in PDF format. Concurrent Submissions: Papers must describe unpublished work that is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere as described by SIGPLAN’s Republication Policy ( http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication) Submitters should also be aware of ACM’s Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism ( http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism_policy) Submissions that violate these policies will be desk-rejected. Submission Site: Submissions will be accepted at https://sle21.hotcrp.com/ --------------------------- Reviewing Process --------------------------- All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Research papers and tool papers will be evaluated concerning novelty, correctness, significance, readability, and alignment with the conference call. New ideas / vision papers will be evaluated primarily concerning novelty, significance, readability, and alignment with the conference call. For fairness reasons, all submitted papers must conform to the above instructions. Submissions that violate these instructions may be rejected without review, at the discretion of the PC chairs. --------------------------- Awards --------------------------- * Distinguished paper: Award for most notable paper, as determined by the PC chairs based on the recommendations of the programme committee. * Distinguished reviewer: Award for distinguished reviewer, as determined by the PC chairs. * Distinguished artifact: Award for the artifact most significantly exceeding expectations, as determined by the AEC chairs based on the recommendations of the artifact evaluation committee. --------------------------- Publication --------------------------- All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. --------------------------- Organisation --------------------------- Chairs: * General chair: Eelco Visser, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands * Program co-chair: Dimitris Kolovos, University of York, United Kingdom * Program co-chair: Emma Söderberg, Lund University, Sweden * Artefact Evaluation co-chair: Elias Castegren, KTH, Sweden * Artefact Evaluation co-chair: Andreas Wortmann, RWTH Aachen University, Germany Program Committee: Vincent Aranega, University of Lille, France Mikhail Barash, University of Bergen, Norway Melanie Bats, Obeo, France David Broman, KTH, Sweden Shigeru Chiba, University of Tokyo, Japan Alfonso de la Vega, University of York, United Kingdom Juan De Lara, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain Davide Di Ruscio, University of L'Aquila, Italy Marcos Didonet del Fabro, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil Juergen Dingel, Queen's University, Canada Michalis Famelis, University of Montreal, Canada Bernd Fischer, Stellenbosch University, South Africa Niklas Fors, Lund University, Sweden Antonio Garcia Dominguez, Aston University, United Kingdom Esther Guerra, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain Görel Hedin, Lund University, Sweden Stuart Hutchesson, Independent, United Kingdom Adrian Johnstone, Royal Holloway, United Kingdom Paddy Krishnan, Oracle Labs, Australia James Noble, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Carlos Olarte, ECT UFRN, Brazil João Saraiva, HASLab / INESC TEC and Universidade do Minho, Portugal Anthony Sloane, Macquarie University, Australia Daniel Strüber, Radboud University , Netherlands Ulyana Tikhonova, CWI, Netherlands Mark van der Brand, TU Eindhoven, Netherlands Juan Manuel Vara, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain Ran Wei, Dalian University of Technology, China Bahman Zamani, University of Isfahan, Iran --------------------------- Contact --------------------------- For additional information, clarification, or answers to questions, please contact the Program Chairs (Emma Söderberg and Dimitris Kolovos).

Formal proceedings are produced only after the symposium so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers. The 31st International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation (LOPSTR 2021) will be held as a hybrid (blended) meeting, both in-person (at the Teachers' House in Tallinn, Estonia) and virtual. Previous symposia were held in Bologna (as a virtual meeting), Porto, Frankfurt am Main, Namur, Edinburgh, Siena, Canterbury, Madrid, Leuven, Odense, Hagenberg, Coimbra, Valencia, Kongens Lyngby, Venice, London, Verona, Uppsala, Madrid, Paphos, London, Venice, Manchester, Leuven, Stockholm, Arnhem, Pisa, Louvain-la-Neuve, and Manchester. LOPSTR 2021 will be co-located with PPDP 2021 (International Symposium on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming). 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, including, but not limited to: - synthesis - transformation - specialization - composition - optimization - inversion - specification - analysis and verification - testing and certification - program and model manipulation - machine learning for program development - verification and testing of machine learning systems - transformational techniques in SE - applications and tools Both full papers and extended abstracts describing foundations and applications in these areas are welcome. Survey papers that present some aspects of the above topics from a new perspective and 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 chairs in case of questions). * Important Dates * Paper/Extended abstract submission (extended): June 7, 2021 Notification (extended): July 16, 2021 Camera-ready (for electronic pre-proceedings): August 20, 2021 Symposium: September 7-9, 2021 Revised paper submission: November 1, 2021 (AoE) Notification: December 1, 2021 Final version (for post-proceedings): January 16, 2022 * Submission Guidelines * Authors should submit an electronic copy of the paper (written in English) in PDF, formatted in LNCS 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. Full papers cannot exceed 15 pages excluding references. Extended abstracts cannot exceed 8 pages excluding references. Additional pages may be used for 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 EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lopstr2021 * Proceedings * The formal post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series as in previous years.

First Call for Papers: Formal Methods Teaching Workshop and Tutorial (FMTea 2021)
by João F. Ferreira 12 May '21

12 May '21

[ Please distribute, apologies for multiple postings. ] ========================================================= Call for Papers: Formal Methods Teaching Workshop and Tutorial (FMTea 2021) 21 November 2021, *online* Co-located with the 24th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2021 FMTea21 is a one-day combined workshop and tutorial that brings together researchers and educators working on formal methods to share their experiences in teaching formal methods, discuss key challenges, and stimulate collaboration that can lead to ways to reboot the presence of formal methods in curricula. FMTea21 will be an online event at the 24th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM2021. More details can be found on the workshop website: https://fmtea.github.io ========================================================= Invited Speakers ======================== - Tobias Nipkow (Technical University Munich, Germany) Provisional title: "Teaching Algorithms and Data Structures with a Proof Assistant" - A second invited speaker will be announced soon! Important Dates ======================== - 2 July 2021: Deadline for submission of papers (AoE) - 2 August 2021: Notifications to authors - 17 September 2021: Deadline for camera-ready version - 21 November 2021: FMTea21 Workshop (online) Objectives and Scope ======================== Formal Methods provide software engineering with tools and techniques for rigorously reasoning about the correctness of systems. While in recent years formal methods are increasingly being used in industry, university curricula are not adapting at the same pace. Some existing formal methods classes interest and challenge students, whereas others fail to ignite student motivation. It is thus important to develop, share, and discuss approaches to effectively teach formal methods to the next generations. This discussion is now more important than ever due to the challenges and opportunities that arose from the pandemic, which forced many educators to adapt and deliver their teaching online. Exchange of ideas is critical to making these new online approaches a success and having a greater reach. Topics ======================== In the workshop part of the event, we welcome papers detailing experiences with FM Teaching, including papers discussing successes and failures of various methods, case studies, tools, etc. Given the increasing importance of online teaching and self-learning, we also welcome reports of experiences with online teaching, including experiences with teaching formal methods via MOOCs. We invite novel papers that cover, but are not limited to, the following aspects: - Experiences and proposals related with "traditional" FM learning and teaching - Experiences and proposals related with online FM learning and teaching - Integrating/embedding FM teaching/thinking within other computer science courses - Teaching FM for industry - Innovative learning and teaching methods for FM Submission Details ======================== FMTea21 invites high quality papers reporting on opinions, approaches, and experiences related to the topic of teaching Formal Methods. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three PC members. As in previous events, the conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions must be in PDF format, using the Springer LNCS style files. Papers should not exceed 15 pages in length. Submissions should be made using the FMTea21 Easychair web site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmtea21 All accepted papers must be remotely presented at the workshop. Authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference by an early date, to be indicated by the FM2021 organizers, and present the paper. Organization ======================== FMTea21 is organized by FME’s Teaching Committee, whose broad aim is to support a worldwide improvement in learning Formal Methods, mainly by teaching but also via self-learning. To that end, the committee manages a list of FM courses taught worldwide (https://fme-teaching.github.io) and plans to collect other resources as well, such as FM case studies, FM inspirational papers, etc. Program Committee ======================== - João F. Ferreira (co-chair), INESC-ID & IST, University of Lisbon, Portugal - Alexandra Mendes (co-chair), INESC TEC & University of Beira Interior, Portugal - Claudio Menghi (co-chair), University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg - Sandrine Blazy, University of Rennes 1, France - Brijesh Dongol, University of Surrey, UK - Catherine Dubois, ENSIIE, France - Rustan Leino, Amazon Web Services, US - José N.

Second call for the *regular* round of Papers for the Haskell Symposium 2021
by Hage, J. (Jurriaan) 12 May '21

12 May '21

Dear all, First, some * BREAKING NEWS *: Jean-Philippe Bernardy has accepted the invitation to speak at the symposium. He will be talking about Linear Haskell. This is the second call for the *regular* round of papers for the upcoming Haskell Symposium. Please forward to anyone that you believe might be interested. The deadline for this round is May 21. Apologies for receiving multiple copies of this announcement. Best regards, Jurriaan Hage Chair ================================================================================ ACM SIGPLAN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Haskell Symposium 2021 ** virtual ** Thu 26 -- Fri 27 August, 2021 http://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2021/ ================================================================================ The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2021 will be co-located with the 2021 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). Due to COVID-19 it will take place **virtually** this year. Like last year, we will be using a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. See further information below. Different from last year is that we offer a new submission category: the tutorial. Details can be found below. The Haskell Symposium presents original research on Haskell, discusses practical experience and future development of the language, and promotes other forms of declarative programming. Topics of interest include: * Language design, with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of Haskell as well as critical discussions of the status quo; * Theory, such as formal semantics of the present language or future extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and foundations for program analysis and transformation; * Implementations, including program analysis and transformation, static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed architectures, memory management, as well as foreign function and component interfaces; * Libraries, that demonstrate new ideas or techniques for functional programming in Haskell; * Tools, such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors, and testing tools; * Applications, to scientific and symbolic computing, databases, multimedia, telecommunication, the web, and so forth; * Functional Pearls, being elegant and instructive programming examples; * Experience Reports, to document general practice and experience in education, industry, or other contexts; * Tutorials, to document how to use a particular language feature, programming technique, tool or library within the Haskell ecosystem; * System Demonstrations, based on running software rather than novel research results. Regular papers should explain their research contributions in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work, and to other languages where appropriate. Experience reports and functional pearls need not necessarily report original academic research results. For example, they may instead report reusable programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or practical experience that will be useful to other users, implementers, or researchers. The key criterion for such a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other Haskellers can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a standard solution to a standard programming problem, or report on experience where you used Haskell in the standard way and achieved the result you were expecting. A new submission category for this year's Haskell Symposium is the tutorial. Like with the experience report and the functional pearl, the key criterion for such a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other Haskellers can benefit. What distinguishes a tutorial is that its focus is on explaining an aspect of the Haskell language and/or ecosystem in a way that is generally useful to a Haskell audience. Tutorials for many such topics can be found online; the distinction here is that by writing it up for formal review it will be vetted by experts and formally published. System demonstrations should summarize the system capabilities that would be demonstrated. The proposals will be judged on whether the ensuing session is likely to be important and interesting to the Haskell community at large, whether on grounds academic or industrial, theoretical or practical, technical, social or artistic. Please contact the program chair with any questions about the relevance of a proposal. If your contribution is not a research paper, please mark the title of your experience report, functional pearl, tutorial or system demonstration as such, by supplying a subtitle (Experience Report, Functional Pearl, Tutorial Paper, System Demonstration). Submission Details ================== Formatting ---------- Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Authors should use the `acmart` format, with the `sigplan` sub-format for ACM proceedings. For details, see: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format It is recommended to use the `review` option when submitting a paper; this option enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews. Functional pearls, experience reports, tutorials and demo proposals should be labelled clearly as such. Lightweight Double-blind Reviewing ---------------------------------- Haskell Symposium 2021 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules: 1. Author names and institutions must be omitted, and 2. References to authors' own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work" but rather "We build on the work of "). The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. A reviewer will learn the identity of the author(s) of a paper after a review is submitted. Page Limits ----------- The length of submissions should not exceed the following limits: Regular paper: 12 pages Functional pearl: 12 pages Tutorial: 12 pages Experience report: 6 pages Demo proposal: 2 pages There is no requirement that all pages are used. For example, a functional pearl may be much shorter than 12 pages. In all cases, the list of references is not counted against these page limits. Deadlines --------- Regular track and demos: Submission deadline: 21 May 2021 (Fri) Notification: 23 June 2021 (Wed) Deadlines are valid anywhere on Earth. Submission ---------- Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy (http://sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) and authors should be aware of ACM's policies on plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism) Program Committee members are allowed to submit papers, but their papers will be held to a higher standard. The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm. There will be no extensions, and papers violating the length limitations will be summarily rejected. Papers should be submitted through HotCRP at: https://haskell21.hotcrp.com/ Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the submission deadline using the same web interface. Supplementary material: Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material should not be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it should be uploaded as a separate PDF document or tarball. Supplementary material should be uploaded at submission time, not by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository. Authors can distinguish between anonymized and non-anonymized supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s). Resubmitted Papers: authors who submit a revised version of a paper that has previously been rejected by another conference have the option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to see how his/her comments have been addressed, the conference chair will communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of the previous reviews. Proceedings =========== Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Their authors will be required to choose one of the following options: - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive permission-to-publish license (and, optionally, licenses the work with a Creative Commons license); - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive permission-to-publish license; - Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM. For more information, please see ACM Copyright Policy (http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy) and ACM Author Rights (http://authors.acm.org/main.html) Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the symposium website but not formally published in the proceedings. Publication date: The official publication date of accepted papers is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. Artifacts ========= Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make auxiliary material (artifacts like source code, test data, etc.) available with their paper. They can opt to have these artifacts published alongside their paper in the ACM Digital Library (copyright of artifacts remains with the authors). If an accepted paper's artifacts are made permanently available for retrieval in a publicly accessible archival repository like the ACM Digital Library, that paper qualifies for an Artifacts Available badge (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging#available) Applications for such a badge can be made after paper acceptance and will be reviewed by the PC chair.

CALCO 2021: Second call for papers
by Thorsten Wissmann 10 May '21

10 May '21

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ========================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS: CALCO 2021 9th International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science 31 Aug - 03 Sep 2021 Salzburg, Austria (if possible) Co-located with MFPS XXXV ========================================================== Paper submission: 3 June 2021 Author notification: 29 July 2021 Final version due: 12 August 2021 ========================================================== Scope ===== Algebraic and coalgebraic methods and tools are a mainstay of computer science. From data types to development techniques and specification formalisms, both theoreticians and practitioners have benefited from the large body of research proposed and implemented since the pioneering works of the 1960s. CALCO aims to bring together researchers with interests in both foundational and applicative uses of algebra and coalgebra in computer science, traditional as well as emerging ones. CALCO is a high-level, bi-annual conference formed by joining the forces and reputations of CMCS (the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science) and WADT (the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques). Previous CALCO editions took place in Swansea (Wales, 2005), Bergen (Norway, 2007), Udine (Italy, 2009), Winchester (UK, 2011), Warsaw (Poland, 2013), Nijmegen (the Netherlands, 2015), Ljubljana (Slovenia,2017), and London (UK, 2019). The 9th edition will be held in Salzburg, Austria, colocated with MFPS XXXVII. Joint CALCO-MFPS Speaker ======================== * Eugenia Cheng (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) Submission Categories ===================== CALCO invites papers relating to all aspects of algebraic and coalgebraic theory and applications, and distinguishes between four categories of submissions. 1. Regular papers that report * results on theoretical foundations * novel methods and techniques for software development * experiences with the technology transfer to industry. 2. (Co)Algebraic Pearls papers that * present possibly known material in a novel and enlightening way. 3. Early ideas abstracts that lead to * presentations of work in progress * proposals for original venues of research. 4. Tool presentation papers that * report on the features and uses of algebraic/coalgebra-based tools. Topics of Interests =================== All topics relating to algebraic and coalgebraic theory and applications are of interest for CALCO, and among them * Models and logics - Automata and languages - Graph transformations and term rewriting - Modal logics - Proof systems - Relational systems * Algebraic and coalgebraic semantics - Abstract data types - Re-engineering techniques (program transformation) - Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques - Semantics of programming languages * Methodologies in software and systems engineering - Development processes - Method integration - Usage guidelines * Specialised models and calculi - Hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems - Concurrent, distributed, mobile, cyber-physical, and context-aware computational paradigms - Systems theory and computational models (chemical, biological, etc.) * System specification and verification - Formal testing and quality assurance - Generative programming and model-driven development - Integration of formal specification techniques - Model-driven development - Specification languages, methods, and environments * Tools supporting algebraic and coalgebraic methods for - Advances in automated verification - Model checking - Theorem proving - Testing * String diagrams and network theory - Theory of PROPs and operads - Rewriting problems and higher-dimensional approaches - Automated reasoning with string diagrams - Applications of string diagrams * Quantum computing - Categorical semantics for quantum computing - Quantum calculi and programming languages - Foundational structures for quantum computing - Applications of quantum algebra Submissions Guidelines ====================== All submissions will be handled via EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=calco2021 The format for all submissions is specified by LIPIcs. Please use the latest version of the style http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/ It is recommended that submissions adhere to that format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately. Regular papers ============== Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers in English presenting original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Regular papers should be maximum 15 pages long, excluding references. Proofs omitted due to space limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix. Each submission will be evaluated by at least three reviewers. Proceedings will be published in the Dagstuhl LIPIcs Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics series. A special issue of the open access journal Logical Methods in Computer Science (http://www.lmcs-online.org) containing extended versions of selected papers, is planned. (Co)algebraic pearls ==================== This is a new submission category in 2021. Explaining a known idea in a new way may make as strong a contribution as inventing a new idea. We encourage the submission of pearls: elegant essays that illustrate an idea in a beautiful or didactically clever way, perhaps by developing an application. Pearls are typically short and concise and so should not be longer than regular papers in the format specified by LIPIcs. Authors who feel they need a bit more space should consult with the PC co-chairs. The accepted papers will be included in the final proceedings of the conference. Each submission will be evaluated by at least two reviewers. Early ideas abstracts ===================== Submissions should not exceed 2 pages in the format specified by LIPIcs. The volume of selected abstracts will be made available on arXiv and on the CALCO pages. Authors will retain copyright, and are also encouraged to disseminate the results by subsequent publication elsewhere. Each submission will be evaluated by at least two reviewers. Tool papers =========== Submissions should not exceed 5 pages in the format specified by LIPIcs. The accepted tool papers will be included in the final proceedings of the conference. The tools should be made available on the web at the time of submission for download and evaluation. Each submission will be evaluated by at least three reviewers, and one or more of the reviewers will be asked to download and use the tool. Best Paper and Best Presentation Awards ======================================= This edition of CALCO will feature two awards: a Best Paper Award whose recipients will be selected by the PC before the conference and a Best Presentation Award, elected by the participants. Programme Committee =================== * Zena M. Ariola (University of Oregon) * Paolo Baldan (University of Padova) * Rui Soares Barbosa (International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory) * Luis Caires (NOVA University Lisbon) * Francisco Durán (University of Málaga) * Brendan Fong (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) * Fabrizio Romano Genovese (University of Pisa) * Jules Hedges (University of Strathclyde, Glasgow) * Thomas Hildebrandt (IT University of Copenhagen) * Peter Jipsen (Chapman University) * Wolfram Kahl (McMaster University) * Marie Kerjean (CNRS -- Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris Nord) * Jean Krivine (CNRS -- Université de Paris) * Michele Loreti (University of Camerino) * Sonia Marin (University College London) * Manuel A.
