======== TFP 2014 ===========

15th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
May 26-28, 2014
Utrecht University
Soesterberg, The Netherlands
http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/WebHome

*** Submission for TFP 2014 is now open: please direct your browser to
*** http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/TFP2014/PaperSubmission

The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international
forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional
programming,
taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to
be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and
other
contributions (see below), described in draft papers submitted prior to the
symposium. A formal post-symposium refereeing process then selects a subset
of the articles presented at the symposium and submitted for formal
publication.

Selected revised papers will be published as a Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) volume.

TFP 2014 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming events.
The other is the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming
in Education (TFPIE). TFPIE will take place on May 25th. Its website is
located
at http://www.cs.uwyo.edu/~jlc/tfpie14/

The TFP symposium is the heir of the successful series of Scottish
Functional
Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in
Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2003, in Munich (Germany) in 2004,
in Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005, in Nottingham (UK) in 2006,
in New York (USA) in 2007, in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008,
in Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009, in Oklahoma (USA) in 2010, in Madrid
(Spain) in
2011, St. Andrews (UK) in 2012 and Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013.
For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage.

INVITED SPEAKERS

TFP is pleased to announce talks by the following two invited speakers:

John Hughes of Chalmers, Goteborg, Sweden, is well-known as author of
Why Functional Programming Matters, and as one of the designers of
QuickCheck
(together with Koen Claessen); the paper on QuickCheck won the
ICFP Most Influential Paper Award in 2010. Currently he divides his time
between
his professorship and Quviq, a company that performs property-based
testing of
software with a tool implemented in Erlang.

Dr. Geoffrey Mainland received his PhD from Harvard University where he was
advised by Greg Morrisett and Matt Welsh. After a two year postdoc with the
Programming Principles and Tools group at Microsoft Research Cambridge,
he is
now an assistant professor at Drexel University. His research focuses on
high-level programming language and runtime support for non-general purpose
computation.

SCOPE

The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes.
As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the
following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited
in any
of these categories:

Research Articles: leading-edge, previously unpublished research work
Position Articles: on what new trends should or should not be
Project Articles: descriptions of recently started new projects
Evaluation Articles: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project
Overview Articles: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject

Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to
any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming:
theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented.
Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are
also within the scope of the symposium.

Topics suitable for the symposium include:

Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing
Functional programming in the cloud
High performance functional computing
Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs
Dependently typed functional programming
Validation and verification of functional programs
Using functional techniques to reason about
imperative/object-oriented programs
Debugging for functional languages
Functional programming in different application areas:
security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded
systems,
global computing, grids, etc.
Interoperability with imperative programming languages
Novel memory management techniques
Program analysis and transformation techniques
Empirical performance studies
Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages
(Embedded) domain specific languages
New implementation strategies
Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area

If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP,
please contact the TFP 2014 program chair, Jurriaan Hage at J.Hage@uu.nl.

BEST PAPER AWARDS

To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper
accepted for the formal proceedings.

TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students,
acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject
trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper
is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors,
and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper
is awarded each year.

In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize.
In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then
receive both prizes.

SPONSORS

TFP is financially supported by NWO (Netherlands Organisation for
Scientific
Research), Well-Typed and Erlang Solutions.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a
lightweight peer review process of extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in
length) or full papers (16 pages). The submission must clearly indicate
which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation,
or overview paper. It should also indicate whether the main author or
authors are research students. In the case of a FULL STUDENT paper, the
draft paper will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members
shortly
after the symposium has taken place.

We use EasyChair for the refereeing process.

[We apologize for multiple copies.]

====================================================================
Call for papers

SynCoP 2014
1st International Workshop on the SYNthesis of COntinuous Parameters

(ETAPS satellite event)

http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/SynCoP2014/
====================================================================


SynCoP aims at bringing together researchers working on parameter
synthesis for systems with continuous variables, where the parameters
consist of a (usually dense) set of constant values. Such problems arise
for real-time, hybrid or probabilistic systems where the goal is to
identify suitable parameters to achieve desired behavior, or to verify
the behavior for a given range of parameter values. A parameter could
be, e.g., a delay in a real-time system, or a reaction rate in a
biological cell model.

The workshop will take place on Sunday the 6th of April 2014, in
Grenoble, France, as a satellite event of ETAPS 2014.

The workshop will be able to (at least partially) support the travel and
the ETAPS workshop registration fees for one or two PhD or Master
student(s).

CALL FOR PAPERS -- SETS 2014

********************************************************************************
1st International Workshop about Sets and Tools (SETS 2014)
June 2, 2014, Toulouse, France
Affiliated to ABZ 2014
http://sets2014.cnam.fr/
********************************************************************************

AIM

Sets and constructs built upon them like relations, functions, sequences are
the main modeling ingredients of formalisms such as VDM, Z, B, or Event-B.
Sets also occur in the formalization of mathematics, as evidenced by the large
library of the Mizar proof system for example. In addition, still in the
domain of theorem proving, there is an increasing interest to automate set
theory (which is known to be a difficult problem), with some concrete
realizations, such as mp (the "main prover" of Atelier B) or Muscadet (an
automated theorem prover for natural deduction, which gives some good
performances in set theory). Sets are also the main features of some
programming languages like the former SetL language or the more recent {log}
language (pronounced as setlog).

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers interested in set theory,
especially to design tools for dealing with set theory, such as interactive or
automated theorem provers, proof checkers, theories for general purpose proof
tools, constraint solvers, programming languages etc. These tools may be
dedicated or general purpose tools. Contributions by theoreticians working on
set theories or fragments of set theories in the aim of designing concrete
tools, and by practitioners using set-based tools are both welcome. We are
also interested by contributions providing some comparisons between set
modeling techniques and other formalisms, such as type theory (and variants)
for instance. Finally, regarding the domains of application, we mainly expect
contributions in the framework of formal methods, but not exhaustively, and
contributions reporting formalizations of mathematics using set theory for
example could be of interest for this workshop as well.

TOPICS

Topics of interest for this workshop include all aspects of set theory and
corresponding tools. More specifically, some suggested topics are:

* Proof tools for sets
* Constraint solvers for sets
* Set-based programming languages
* Automated deduction in set theory
* Set theories for SMT solvers
* Encoding of sets in provers
* Use of set-based tools in formal methods
* Use of set-based tools in mathematics
* Comparison of set-based tools
* Comparison between set and type theories
* Experience reports

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

Submitted papers must be 6-15 pages in length, following the Springer LNCS
format. These submissions may be:

* Research papers providing new concepts and results
* Position papers and research perspectives
* Experience reports
* Tool presentations

Proceedings, including all the papers selected for the workshop, will be
available electronically at the workshop. No copyright transfer agreement will
be required from the authors. For this first edition of this workshop, we
would like to put the emphasis on discussions rather than on conventional
publications.

[Caml-list] CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits - extended deadline

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (incl. deadline extension due to popular demand)

CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits
Budapest, Hungary
June 23 - 27, 2014
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu


IMPORTANT DATES:

EXTENDED Submission Deadline for LNCS: 20 January 2014
Notification of authors: 3 March 2014
Deadline for final revisions: 31 March 2014


FUNDING and AWARDS:

CiE 2014 has received funding for student participation from the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS. Please contact the PC
chairs if you are interested.

The best student paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.


CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in
Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer
scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new
developments in computability and their underlying significance for the
real world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005),
Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta
Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), and Milan (2013).

The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special
focus on relations between computational linguistics, natural and
biological computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory.
This is to be understood in its broadest sense including computational
aspects of problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and
algorithms inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as
exhibiting limits (and non-limits) of computability when considering
different models of computation arising from such approaches.

As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new
computational paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with
respect to practical applications and a deeper theoretical understanding.
We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts
of the research community.

For topics covered by the conference, please visit
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu/?Topics
We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as
bioinformatics and natural computation, where they have a basic connection
with computability.

LOCATION
^^^^^^^^

SFM-14:ESM will be held in the medieval hilltop town of Bertinoro.

This place is in Emilia Romagna, about 70 km south-east of Bologna,
at an elevation of about 230 m. It can be reached in a couple of
hours from the international airport "G. Marconi" of Bologna by
shuttle (from the airport to the railway station) + train (from
Bologna to Forli`) + bus/taxi (from the railway station to Bertinoro).

Bertinoro is close to many splendid locations such as Urbino,
Gradara, San Leo, and the Republic of San Marino, as well as some
less well-known locations like the thermal springs of Fratta Terme.
Bertinoro can also be a base for visiting some of the better-known
Italian locations such as Bologna, Parma, Rimini, Ravenna, Ferrara,
Padova, Venezia, Verona, Firenze, Pisa, Lucca, and Siena.

Bertinoro itself is picturesque, with its narrow streets and
walkways winding around the central peak. The school will be held
at the Centro Residenziale Universitario (CRU), an ex-episcopal
fortress that has been converted into a modern conference center.
From the fortress, it is possible to enjoy a beautiful vista stretching
from the Apennines to the Adriatic Coast and the Alps over the Po Valley.

[Caml-list] Final call for papers: SynCoP 2014 (ETAPS workshop)

Only a few days before the abstract submission deadline.


====================================================================
Call for papers

SynCoP 2014
1st International Workshop on the SYNthesis of COntinuous Parameters

(ETAPS satellite event)

http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/SynCoP2014/
====================================================================


SynCoP aims at bringing together researchers working on parameter
synthesis for systems with continuous variables, where the parameters
consist of a (usually dense) set of constant values. Such problems arise
for real-time, hybrid or probabilistic systems where the goal is to
identify suitable parameters to achieve desired behavior, or to verify
the behavior for a given range of parameter values. A parameter could
be, e.g., a delay in a real-time system, or a reaction rate in a
biological cell model.

The workshop will take place on Sunday the 6th of April 2014, in
Grenoble, France, as a satellite event of ETAPS 2014.

The workshop will be able to (at least partially) support the travel and
the ETAPS workshop registration fees for one or two PhD or Master
student(s).

Abbreviated instructions for authors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* By Saturday, 1 March 2014, 23:59 UTC-11 (anywhere in the world),
submit a full paper of at most 12 pages (6 pages for an Experience
Report), including bibliography and figures.

The deadlines will be strictly enforced and papers exceeding the page
limits will be summarily rejected.

* Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission,
on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it.

* Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as
explained on the web at
http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication

* Authors of resubmitted (but previously rejected) papers have the
option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous
submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous
reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies
him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to
see how his/her comments have been addressed, the program chair will
communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous
review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of
the previous reviews.

Overall, a submission will be evaluated according to its relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. It should
explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly
identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and comparing it with previous work. The technical
content should be accessible to a broad audience. Functional Pearls
and Experience Reports are separate categories of papers that need not
report original research results and must be marked as such at the
time of submission. Detailed guidelines on both categories are on the
conference web site.

Proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted
submissions are expected to transfer the copyright to the ACM.
Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the presenter
consents. The proceedings will be freely available for download from
the ACM Digital Library from one week before the start of the
conference until two weeks after the conference.

Formatting: Submissions must be in PDF format printable in black and
white on US Letter sized paper and interpretable by
Ghostscript. Papers must adhere to the standard ACM conference format:
two columns, nine-point font on a ten-point baseline, with columns
20pc (3.33in) wide and 54pc (9in) tall, with a column gutter of 2pc
(0.33in). A suitable document template for LaTeX is available:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm

Submission: Submissions will be accepted on the web at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfp2014 . Improved
versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the
submission deadline using the same web interface.

Author response: Authors will have a 72-hour period, starting at 0:00
UTC-11 on Wednesday, 23 April 2014, to read reviews and respond to them.

ACM Author-Izer is a unique service that enables ACM authors to
generate and post links on either their home page or institutional
repository for visitors to download the definitive version of their
articles from the ACM Digital Library at no charge. Downloads through
Author-Izer links are captured in official ACM statistics, improving
the accuracy of usage and impact measurements. Consistently linking
the definitive version of ACM article should reduce user confusion
over article versioning. After your article has been published and
assigned to your ACM Author Profile page, please visit

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission Deadline for LNCS: 10 January 2014
Notification of authors: 3 March 2014
Deadline for final revisions: 31 March 2014


FUNDING and AWARDS:

CiE 2014 has received funding for student participation from the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS. Please contact the PC
chairs if you are interested.

The best student paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.


CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe),
a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists,
philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in
computability and their underlying significance for the real world. Previous
meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007),
Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011),
Cambridge (2012), and Milan (2013).

The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special focus
on relations between computational linguistics, natural and biological
computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory. This is to
be understood in its broadest sense including computational aspects of
problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and algorithms
inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as exhibiting limits
(and non-limits) of computability when considering different models of
computation arising from such approaches.

As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new computational
paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with respect to practical
applications and a deeper theoretical understanding. We particularly invite
papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community.

For topics covered by the conference, please visit
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu/?Topics
We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as bioinformatics
and natural computation, where they have a basic connection with
computability.
