Dear all, The deadline for MSFP 2012 is exactly a month away! Since sending out the first call we have solicited invited talks from two very interesting speakers! See below. James Fourth Workshop on MATHEMATICALLY STRUCTURED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING 25 March, Tallinn, Estonia A satellite workshop of ETAPS 2012 http://cs.ioc.ee/msfp/msfp2012/ The fourth 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 arrows? Call-by-push-value without adjunctions? Type theory without universes? 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. Important Dates: ================ Submission of papers: 16 December 2011 Notification: 20 January 2012 Final versions due: 3 Feburary 2012 Workshop: 25 March 2012 Invited Speakers: ================= Danko Ilik, Goce Delčev University of Štip, Republic of Macedonia Neil Ghani, University of Strathclyde, UK Submission: =========== Papers must report previously unpublished work and not be submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings.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. There is no specific page limit, but authors should strive for brevity. Accepted regular papers will be published in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). After the workshop, there might be an opportunity to publish selected papers in a journal special issue. All submissions must be in PDF format and use the EPTCS style files. Submissions can be made through the EasyChair website, at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=msfp2012 ETAPS: ====== European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS) is the primary European forum for academic and industrial researchers working on topics relating to software science. ETAPS, established in 1998, is a confederation of six main annual conferences (one of them, POST, being new in 2012), accompanied by satellite workshops. ETAPS 2012 is the fifteenth event in the series. http://www.etaps.org/2012 Host City: ========== Tallinn, a city of 412,000 people, is the capital and largest city of Estonia, a small EU member country in Northern Europe, bordering Russia to the East and Latvia to the south. Located in the north of the country, on the southern shores of the Gulf of Finland, opposite Helsinki in Finland, Tallinn is most well known for its picturesque medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. But it also has a vivid cultural scene, outperforming most European centres of similar size. In 2011, Tallinn, along with Turku in Finland, is the Cultural Capital of Europe. Tallinn is easy to travel to. Estonia is part of Schengen and the Eurozone. The Lennart Meri International Airport of Tallinn /TLL) is only 4km from the city centre.
