MSFP 2020 - Second Call for Papers
by Sam Lindley 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

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.

Call for Haskell.org Committee Nominations
by Jasper Van der Jeugt 08 Dec '19

08 Dec '19

Dear Haskellers, It is time to put out a call for new nominations (typically but not necessarily self-nominations) to the Haskell.org committee. We have three members of our committee due for retirement -- Jasper Van der Jeugt, Niki Vazou, and Mitsutoshi Aoe. To nominate yourself, please send an email to committee at haskell.org by the 7th of January, 2020. The retiring members are eligible to re-nominate themselves. Please feel free to include any information about yourself that you think will help us to make a decision. The Haskell.org committee serves as a board of directors for Haskell.org, a 501(c)3 nonprofit which oversees technical and financial resources related to Haskell community infrastructure. Being a member of the committee does not necessarily require a significant amount of time, but committee members should aim to be responsive during discussions when the committee is called upon to make a decision. Strong leadership, communication, and judgement are very important characteristics for committee members. The role is about setting policy, providing direction/guidance for Haskell.org infrastructure, planning for the long term, and being fiscally responsible with the Haskell.org funds (and donations). As overseers for policy regarding the open source side of Haskell, committee members must also be able to set aside personal or business related bias and make decisions with the good of the open source Haskell community in mind. We seek a broad representation from different segments of the Haskell world -- including but not limited to those focused on education, those focused on industrial applications, those with background in organizing users-groups, and those focused directly on our technical infrastructure. More details about the committee's roles and responsibilities are on https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell.org_committee If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to e-mail us at committee at haskell.org, or contact one of us individually. Warm regards, Jasper Van der Jeugt

ZuriHac 2020 (12-14 June) registration is now open
by Jasper Van der Jeugt 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hi Haskell friends! We are happy to announce that ZuriHac 2020 will take place from Friday the 12th to Sunday the 14th of June, hosted again at the HSR (https://www.hsr.ch/) on the shores of beautiful Lake Zurich. You can find all the information on: https://zurihac.com The Zurich Haskell Hackathon is a free, international, grassroots, and collaborative coding festival. Our goal is to nourish the Haskell community, learn exciting new things, and to have fun working on projects together. This year, we are already excited to announce talks by: - Alexis King - Rob Rix More speakers will be announced later. In addition to talks, we will offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced tracks, similar to last year. The details of this will also be communicated in the coming months. The event is open to any experience level, from beginners to gurus. If you are completely new to Haskell, rest assured that there will be tutorials for you to take, and a bunch of friendly advanced Haskellers to answer your questions and help you along. We will have space for 500 attendees, making this the largest Haskell gathering that we know of! Registration is free and open as of right now: https://zurihac.com/#registration We would also like to thank the Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil for their amazing support and for hosting us again this year. Without them, an event of this scale and quality would be extremely difficult to pull off. We can't wait to see you in June, The Zurich Friends of Haskell (https://zfoh.ch/)
