[GSoC 2020] Call for Ideas
by Jasper Van der Jeugt 12 Jan '20

12 Jan '20

Google Summer of Code [1] will take place again in 2020! Haskell.org has been able to take part in this program in the past two years, and we'd like to keep this momentum up since it greatly benefits the community. Google is not extremely open about what factors it considers for applications from organizations, but they have stated multiple times that a well-organized ideas list is crucial. For that, we would like to count on all of you again. If you are the maintainer or a user of a Haskell project, and you have an improvement in mind which a student could work on during the summer, please submit an idea here: https://summer.haskell.org/ideas.html For context, Google Summer of Code is a program where Google sponsors students to work on open-source projects during the summer. Haskell.org has taken part in this program in 2006-2015, and 2018-2019. Many important improvements to the ecosystem have been the direct or indirect result of Google Summer of Code projects, and it has also connected new people with the existing community. Projects should benefit as many people as possible – e.g. an improvement to GHC will benefit more people than an update to a specific library or tool, but both are definitely valid. New libraries and applications written in Haskell, rather than improvements to existing ones, are also accepted. Projects should be concrete and small enough in scope such that they can be finished by a student in three months. Past experience has shown that keeping projects "small" is almost always a good idea. [1]: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Warm regards Jasper

MSFP 2020 - Second Call for Papers
by Sam Lindley 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Eighth Workshop on MATHEMATICALLY STRUCTURED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING Saturday 25th April 2020, Dublin, Ireland A satellite workshop of ETAPS 2020 https://msfp-workshop.github.io/msfp2020/ ** Deadline: 9th January (abstract), 16th January (paper) ** The eighth workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming is devoted to the derivation of functionality from structure. It is a celebration of the direct impact of Theoretical Computer Science on programs as we write them today. Modern programming languages, and in particular functional languages, support the direct expression of mathematical structures, equipping programmers with tools of remarkable power and abstraction. Where would Haskell be without monads? Functional reactive programming without temporal logic? Call-by-push-value without adjunctions? The list goes on. This workshop is a forum for researchers who seek to reflect mathematical phenomena in data and control. The first MSFP workshop was held in Kuressaare, Estonia, in July 2006, affiliated with MPC 2006 and AMAST 2006. The second MSFP workshop was held in Reykjavik, Iceland as part of ICALP 2008. The third MSFP workshop was held in Baltimore, USA, as part of ICFP 2010. The fourth workshop was held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012. The fifth workshop was held in Grenoble, France, as part of ETAPS 2014. The sixth MSFP Workshop was held in April 2016, in Eindhoven, Netherlands, as part of ETAPS 2016. The seventh MSFP Workshop was held in July 2018, in Oxford, UK, as part of FLoC 2018. Important Dates: ================ Abstract deadline: 9th January (Thursday) Paper deadline: 16th January (Thursday) Notification: 27th February (Thursday) Final version: 26th March (Thursday) Workshop: 25th April (Saturday) Invited Speakers: ================= Pierre-Marie Pédrot - Inria Rennes-Bretagne-Atlantique, France Satnam Singh - Google Research, USA Program Committee: ================== Stephanie Balzer - CMU, USA Kwanghoon Choi - Chonnam, South Korea Ralf Hinze - Kaiserslautern, Germany Marie Kerjean - Inria Nantes, France Sam Lindley - Edinburgh and Imperial, UK (co-chair) Max New - Northeastern, USA (co-chair) Fredrik Nordvall-Forsberg - Strathclyde, UK Alberto Pardo - Montevideo, Uruguay Exequiel Rivas Gadda - Inria Paris, France Claudio Russo - DFINITY, UK Tarmo Uustalu - Reykjavik, Iceland Nicolas Wu - Imperial, UK Maaike Zwart - Oxford, UK Submission: =========== Submissions are welcomed on, but by no means restricted to, topics such as: structured effectful computation structured recursion structured corecursion structured tree and graph operations structured syntax with variable binding structured datatype-genericity structured search structured representations of functions structured quantum computation structure directed optimizations structured types structure derived from programs and data Please contact the programme chairs Sam Lindley (Sam.Lindley(a)ed.ac.uk) and Max New (maxnew(a)ccs.neu.edu) if you have any questions about the scope of the workshop. We accept two categories of submission: full papers of no more than 15 pages that will appear in the proceedings, and extended abstracts of no more than 2 pages that we will post on the website, but which do not constitute formal publications and will not appear in the proceedings. References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices may not be read by reviewers. Submissions must report previously unpublished work and not be submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. The proceedings will be published under the auspices of EPTCS with a Creative Commons license. A short abstract should be submitted a week in advance of the paper deadline (for both full paper and extended abstract submissions). We are using EasyChair to manage submissions.

Hello, Please, find below the third call for draft papers for TFPIE 2020. Please forward these to anyone you think may be interested. Apologies for any duplicates you may receive. best regards, Jurriaan Hage Chair of TFPIE 2020 ======================================================================== TFPIE 2020 Call for papers http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hage0101/tfpie2020/index.html February 12th 2020, Krakow, Poland (co-located with TFP 2020 and Lambda Days) *NEW* Invited Speaker We are happy to announce the invited speaker for TFPIE 2020, Thorsten Altenkirch, who also speaks at Lambda Days. At TFPIE 2020 he shall be talking about his new book, Conceptual Programming With Python. *NEW* Registration This year TFPIE takes place outside of the Lambda Days/TFP organisation, although it takes place near their location. This means you do need to register separately for TFPIE; it also means you can register for TFPIE without registering for TFP/LambdaDays, and vice versa. Registration is mandatory for at least one author of every paper that is presented at the workshop. Only papers that have been presented at TFPIE may be submitted to the post-reviewing process. Registration is 25 euro per person. TFPIE 2020 welcomes submissions describing techniques used in the classroom, tools used in and/or developed for the classroom and any creative use of functional programming (FP) to aid education in or outside Computer Science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: FP and beginning CS students FP and Computational Thinking FP and Artificial Intelligence FP in Robotics FP and Music Advanced FP for undergraduates FP in graduate education Engaging students in research using FP FP in Programming Languages FP in the high school curriculum FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics FP and Philosophy The pedagogy of teaching FP FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc. Best Lectures - more details below In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. What's your best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to present FP concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture topics will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. The length of the presentation should be comparable to that of a paper. On top of the lecture itself, the presentation can also provide commentary on the lecture. Submissions Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages) or a draft paper (up to 20 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available on the workshop's website. Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2020 . After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit (a revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best articles that will be published in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC. Dates Submission deadline: January 14th 2020, Anywhere on Earth.
