Call for PhD student presentation - Last call for participation


PhD students are invited to submit the abstract of their
presentations to be included in the workshop session of
the summer school. The selected and reviewed workshop
papers and the revised lectures will be published in
the post-conference LNCS Volume of the Summer School.
The deadline for registration and submissions is
1 June 2007.

Aims and Scopes:

The Central-European Functional Programming School (CEFP)
is an intensive summer school series in the field of functional
programming. The main goal is to bring together computer
scientists, researchers, graduate and especially PhD students.
The school would like to promote the research and the education
of the functional programming languages, software technologies
and programming methodologies.

The second CEFP school will be organized by the Babeş-Bolyai
University (Cluj-Napoca / Kolozsvár / Klausenburg) between
23-30 June, 2007. The previous school was held in Budapest,
Hungary, July, 2005 (LNCS 4164).

The invited lecturers are prominent researchers in the field,
and they will present state-of-the-art functional programming
techniques. Beside the lectures practical courses will be held.
The school includes a workshop for PhD students to present
their work and get feed-back from the lecturers.

Invited Lecturers:

Rinus Plasmeijer (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands):
iTasks: Defining Interactive Workflows for the Web

Werner Kluge (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel,
Germany): Abstract Lambda Calculus Machines

Marko van Eekelen (Radboud University Nijmegen, The
Netherlands): Proving Properties of Lazy Functional Programs

Tim Sheard (Portland State University, USA): The Omega
Programming Language

Ralf Hinze (Universität Bonn, Germany): Generic Programming, Now!

Three additional short courses will be given:

Zoltán Horváth (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary):
Refactoring Erlang Programs

Zoltán Csörnyei (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary):
Lambda-Calculus

Horia F. Pop (Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania):
A Tutorial on Object Orientedness in Functional Programming

Submissions for the workshop session:

Each presentation can be of max. 25 minutes. The full paper
version can be submitted after the summer school for
post-conference reviewing.

Venue:

Cluj-Napoca / Kolozsvár / Klausenburg, formerly the capital of
Transylvania, is one of the most beautiful medieval cities with
a huge multicultural and historical inheritance. Surrounded by
marvelous hills and mountains, the city provides fascinating
environment for experiencing the unique ambience of a
diversified culture, society and nature.

Registration and costs:

The registration fee (260 Euro) includes the course materials
distributed during the school, the post-school volume, lunches,
the excursion and the summer school banquet. For further

[Caml-list] CAV 2007: 2nd Call for Participation

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

COMPUTER AIDED VERIFICATION (CAV)
19th International Conference

July 3 - 7, 2007, Berlin, Germany

Regular registration deadline: June 15.

CAV 2007 is the 19th Computer-Aided Verification conference. It will be
held at the Park Inn Hotel, Alexanderplatz, Berlin, Germany, July 3-7, 2007.
The conference will start with one day of tutorials (July 3rd), followed by 4
days of the main conference (July 4-7th). Seven affiliated workshops will be
held in the two days before and the day after CAV (July 1st-2nd and

workshops at the conference web site: http://www.cav2007.org

IMPORTANT: The number of available hotel rooms is getting low. Please check
availability of rooms before registering.

The CAV conference is dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice
of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software systems.
CAV considers it vital to continue its leadership in hardware verification,
and maintain its recent momentum in software verification. The conference
covers the spectrum from theoretical results to concrete applications, with an
emphasis on practical verification tools and the algorithms and techniques
that are needed for their implementation. The proceedings of the conference
will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series. A selection of papers will be invited to a special issue of the
International Journal on Formal Methods and System Design.

[Caml-list] IFL 2007: Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages


From: Olaf Chitil <O.Chitil@kent.ac.uk>
Date: Jun 7, 2007 12:52 PM
Subject: [Caml-list] IFL 2007: Symposium on Implementation and
Application of Functional Languages
To: caml-list@yquem.inria.fr


**********************************************************************

Announcement and Call for Papers for the

19th International Symposium on
Implementation and Application of Functional Languages
IFL 2007

27th-29th September 2007, Freiburg, Germany
co-located with ICFP 2007

http://proglang.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/IFL2007/

**********************************************************************

The aim of the IFL symposium is to bring together researchers actively
engaged in the implementation and application of functional and
function-based programming languages. The symposium provides an open
forum for researchers who wish to present and discuss new ideas and
concepts, work in progress, preliminary results, etc. related
primarily but not exclusively to the implementation and application of
functional languages.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* language concepts
* type checking
* compilation techniques
* (abstract) interpretation
* generic programming techniques
* automatic program generation
* array processing
* concurrent/parallel programming
* concurrent/parallel program execution
* heap management
* runtime profiling
* performance measurements
* debugging and tracing
* (abstract) machine architectures
* verification
* formal aspects
* tools and programming techniques

Papers on applications or tools demonstrating the suitability of novel
ideas in any of the above areas and contributions on related
theoretical work are also welcome. The change of the symposium name
adding the term "application", introduced in 2004, reflects the
broader scope IFL has gained over the years.


Contributions

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers to be published in
the draft proceedings and present them at the symposium. All
contributions must be written in English, conform to the
Springer-Verlag LNCS series format and not exceed 16 pages. The draft
proceedings will appear as a technical report.

Every attendee of IFL 2007 will have the opportunity to submit a
revised version of their paper for post-symposium reviewing. As in
previous years, selected papers will be published by Springer Verlag
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series.
