[Caml-list] Call for Papers IFL 2013

===============================================================================
VACANCY : 1x Phd Student in domain specific type error diagnosis for Haskell
===============================================================================

The activities of the Software Systems division at Utrecht University include
research on programming methodologies, compiler construction, and program
analysis, validation, and verification. For information about the research
group of Software Technology, see:

http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/Center

Financed by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), we
currently have a job opening for:

* 1x PhD researcher (Ph D student) Software Technology

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) have the potential both to reduce the effort of
programming, and to result in programs that are easier to understand and
maintain. For various good reasons, researchers have proposed to embed DSLs
(then called EDSLs) into a general purpose host language. An important
disadvantage of such an embedding is that it is very hard to make type error
diagnosis domain-aware, because inconsistencies are by default explained in
terms of the host language. We are currently looking for a highly motivated
Ph D student to investigate this problem in the context of the functional
language Haskell.

The basic approach is to scale the concept of specialized type rules as
developed by (Heeren, Hage and Swierstra, ICFP '03, see link below) for
Haskell '98 to modern day Haskell with all of its type system extensions.
The work is both technically challenging, i.e., how do you ensure that
modifications to the type diagnositic process do not inadvertently change the
type system, and practically immediately useful: making domain-specific type
error diagnosis a reality for a full sized language such as Haskell is likely
to have a pervasive influence on the field of domain-specific languages, and
the language Haskell.

The ICFP '03 paper can be found at

http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/jur/scriptingthetypeinferencer.pdf

A project paper that describes the context and aims of the current project can
be found here:

http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/jur/tfp2013_submission_2.pdf

At first, the work will be prototyped in our own Utrecht Haskell Compiler. If
succesfull, the work will also make its way into the GHC.

We expect the candidate to communicate the results academically, to present the
work at scientific conferences, to supervise Master students, and to assist in
teaching courses at Bachelor or Master level.

---------------------------------
What we are looking for
---------------------------------

The candidate should have an MSc in Computer Science, be highly motivated,
speak and write English very well, and be proficient in producing scientific
reports. Knowledge of and experience with at least one of the following two
areas is essential:

* functional programming, and Haskell in particular
* type system concepts

Furthermore, we expect the candidate to be able to reason formally.
Experience in compiler construction is expected to be useful in this project.

---------------------------------
What we offer
---------------------------------

You are offered a full-time position for 4 years. The gross salary is in the
range between Û 2083,- and maximum Û 2664,- per month. The salary is supplemented
with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of 8,3% per year.

In addition we offer: a pension scheme, a partially paid parental leave,
flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective
Labour Agreement Dutch Universities.

We aim to start November 1, 2013 at the latest, but preferably sooner.

---------------------------------
In order to apply
---------------------------------

To apply please attach a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, and (email)
addresses of two referees. Make sure to also include a transcript of the courses
you have followed (at bachelor and master level), with the grades you
obtained, and to include a sample of your scientific writing, e.g., the pdf of
your master thesis.

It is possible to apply for this position if you are close to obtaining
your Master's. In that case include a letter of your supervisor with an estimate
of your progress, and do not forget to include at least a sample of your
technical writing skills.

Application closes on the 20th of June 2013.

Publicity Chair of IFL

CALL FOR PAPERS

25th SYMPOSIUM ON IMPLEMENTATION AND APPLICATION OF FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES - IFL 2013

RADBOUD UNIVERSITY NIJMEGEN, THE NETHERLANDS
ACM In-Cooperation / ACM SIGPLAN

AUGUST 28 - 30 2013

"Landgoed Holthurnsche Hof"

http://ifl2013.cs.ru.nl



We are proud to announce that the 25th edition of the IFL series returns to its roots at
the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. The symposium is held from 28th
to 30th of August 2013.

Scope
-----
The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the
implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages.
IFL 2013 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts,
work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and
application of functional languages and function-based programming.

Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2013 will use a post-symposium review process to
produce the formal proceedings which will be published in the ACM Digital Library. All
participants of IFL 2013 are invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended
abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium. At no time may work submitted
to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to
ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy:

http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication

The submissions will be screened by the program committee chair to make sure they are
within the scope of IFL, and will appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the
symposium. Submissions appearing in the draft proceedings are not peer-reviewed
publications. Hence, publications that appear only in the draft proceedings do not
count as publication for the ACM SIGPLAN republication policy. After the symposium,
authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from discussions at
the symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full article for the formal
review process. From the revised submissions, the program committee will select papers
for the formal proceedings considering their correctness, novelty, originality,
relevance, significance, and clarity.

Invited Speaker
---------------
Lennart Augustsson, currently employed by the Standard Chartered Bank, well-known for
his work on Haskell, parallel Haskell, Cayenne, and Bluespec, is the invited speaker of
IFL 2013. He will be talking about practical applications of functional programming.

practitioners interested in writing beautiful programs that generate
beautiful artifacts. Such artifacts may include visual art, music, 3D
sculptures, animations, GUIs, video games, physical models,
architectural models, choreographies for dance, poetry, and even
physical objects such as VLSI layouts, GPU configurations, or mechanical
engineering designs. The framework used need not be purely functional
("mostly functional" is fine); may be based on abstractions such as
higher-order functions, monads, arrows, or streams; and may be
manifested as a domain specific language or tool. Theoretical
foundations, language design, implementation issues, and applications
are all within the scope of the workshop.

Important dates
---------------

- Submissions due: Friday, 14 June 2013, 23:59 UTC-11 (American Samoa
time [1])

- Author notification: Thursday, 11 July 2013

Submission details
------------------

We solicit submissions in two categories:

- Full papers. A full paper is limited to 12 pages, and will be
evaluated according to its relevance, correctness, significance,
originality, and clarity. It should explain its contributions,
identify what has been accomplished, explain why it is significant,
and compare it with previous work.

- "Aesthetic applications". An aesthetic application paper is limited
to 6 pages, and will be judged primarily on the effective and
elegant use of FP to generate aesthetic artifacts (though the
criteria for full papers are still relevant).

Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted
using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. The text should be in a 9-point
font in two columns.

[Caml-list] ECSCW 2013: Call for Work-in-Progress

::: ECSCW 2013 ::: Call for Work-in-Progress

The 13th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW 2013)

21-25 September 2013, Paphos, Cyprus

http://www.ecscw2013.org/

Work In Progress is a new peer reviewed submission category for ECSCW 2013.

The purpose of Work-in-Progress is to allow the community to participate in an
interactive event at ECSCW, where participants have an opportunity to present
and discuss their current work and early results. Work-in-Progress sessions
provide a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, for getting early
feedback on current work and preliminary results, and fostering discussions
and collaborations among colleagues.

Work in progress papers will be published in ECSCW 2013 Proceedings Volume 2
(previously known as the conference supplement), printed in the Aarhus
University, Department of Computer Science Report Series and available for
the conference participants as well as on the EUSSET online library.


IMPORTANT DATES

• Submission Deadline: 15 June 2013 (5:00pm PDT) using EasyChair
• Notification Date: 26 July 2013
• Camera-Ready Deadline: 09 August 2013


FORMAT

A Work-in-Progress submission is a six-page extended abstract prepared in
the ECSCW format (author kits and paper templates available for Word, PDF,
and LaTeX) and submitted as a PDF file, via the EasyChair submission system.

Your extended abstract should be camera-ready and thoroughly copy-edited.
Work-in-Progress submissions are not anonymous and should therefore include
all author names, affiliations and contact information.

Due to the short review cycle, there should be nearly no changes between
your submissions and the camera-ready final documents, except in rare
circumstances.


SELECTION PROCESS

Work-in-Progress submissions will be selected by the ECSCW Program Committee.
The process has been designed to acknowledge the early-stage nature of the work.
Work-in-Progress authors will be notified of acceptance. If a submission is
accepted to appear at the conference, the contact person will receive further
instructions regarding the inclusion of their extended abstract in the
Vol. 2 Proceedings, as well as instructions for the presentation at the conference.
Copyright is retained by the authors, and the material from them can be used as
the basis for future publications.


WHAT IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS?

A Work-in-Progress is a concise report of recent findings or other types of
innovative or thought-provoking work relevant to the ECSCW community. A
significant benefit of a Work-in-Progress derives from the discussion between
the author and conference attendees that will be fostered by the face-to-face
presentation of the work.

This submission category aims to attract participation from a broad range of
disciplines covering a spectrum of topics and methodologies. Submissions may
include, but are not limited to, the following types of work: description of
original CSCW systems, descriptions of new concepts, methods or techniques,
for use in CSCW, studies on collective practices, systems in use ...


AT THE CONFERENCE

Authors will be expected to attend the conference and will be assigned a time
and location in the program to present their work to conference attendees during
Interactive Sessions. Work-in-progress submissions whose authors are not at the
conference to present will be withdrawn from the EUSSET online library.
