[Caml-list] Trends in Functional Programming in Education ITFPIE) 2017, call for papers

TFPIE 2017

Trends in Functional Programming in Education, 2017

The sixth workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education, 2017, which is to be held on the Canterbury campus of the University of Kent on Thursday, 22 June, following the 2017 TFP meeting on 19–21 June. TFPIE workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012), Provo Utah, USA (2013), Soesterberg, The Netherlands (2014), and Sophia-Antipolis, France (2015), College Park, USA (2016).

The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, teachers and professionals that use, or are interested in the use of, functional programming in education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas and work-in-progress on the use of functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication after the workshop. The program chair of TFPIE 2017 will screen submissions to ensure that all presentations are within scope and are of interest to participants. After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit revised versions of their articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

Call for papers

TFPIE 2017 welcomes submissions describing techniques used in the classroom, tools used in and/or developed for the classroom and any creative use of functional programming (FP) to aid education in or outside Computer Science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- FP and beginning CS students
- FP and Computational Thinking
- FP and Artificial Intelligence
- FP in Robotics

Overview

The goal of the VSTTE conference series is to advance the state of the
art in the science and technology of software verification, through the
interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and experimental
validation.

We welcome submissions describing significant advances in the production
of verified software, i.e., software that has been proved to meet its
functional specifications. Submissions of theoretical, practical, and
experimental contributions are equally encouraged, including those
that focus on specific problems or problem domains. We are especially
interested in submissions describing large-scale verification efforts
that involve collaboration, theory unification, tool integration, and
formalized domain knowledge. We also welcome papers describing novel
experiments and case studies evaluating verification techniques and
technologies.

Topics of interest for VSTTE include education, requirements modeling,
specification languages, specification/verification/certification case
studies, formal calculi, software design methods, automatic code generation,
refinement methodologies, compositional analysis, verification tools
(e.g., static analysis, dynamic analysis, model checking, theorem proving,
satisfiability), tool integration, benchmarks, challenge problems, and
integrated verification environments.

Paper Submissions

We accept both long (limited to 16 pages) and short (limited to 10 pages)
paper submissions. Short submissions also cover Verification Pearls
describing an elegant proof or proof technique. Submitted research papers
and system descriptions must be original and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Each submission will be evaluated by at least three members of
the Program Committee. We expect that one author of every accepted paper
will present their work at the conference.

Paper submissions must be written in English using the LNCS LaTeX format
(http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
and must include a cogent and self-contained description of the ideas,
methods, results, and comparison to existing work.

Papers will be submitted via EasyChair at the VSTTE 2017 conference page
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vstte2017). The post-conference
proceedings of VSTTE 2017 will be published in the LNCS series. Authors
of accepted papers will be requested to sign the copyright transfer form.
A selection of best papers will be invited for publication in the Journal
of Automated Reasoning.

======== TFP 2017 ===========

18th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
19-21 June, 2017
University of Kent, Canterbury
https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/events/tfp17/index.html

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). Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised
papers based on the feedback receive at the symposium. A
post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these
articles for formal publication.

TFP 2017 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming
events. TFP 2017 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on
Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take
place on 22 June.

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;
* Munich (Germany) in 2004;
* Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005;
* Nottingham (UK) in 2006;
* New York (USA) in 2007;
* Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008;
* Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009;
* Oklahoma (USA) in 2010;
* Madrid (Spain) in 2011;
* St. Andrews (UK) in 2012;
* Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013;
* Soesterberg (The Netherlands) in 2014;
* Inria Sophia-Antipolis (France) in 2015;
* and Maryland (USA) in 2016.

For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage.
(http://www.tifp.org/).


== 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 simultaneously submitted for
publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of
functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or
experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming
techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the
symposium.

Topics suitable for the symposium include, but are not limited to:

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
Debugging and profiling 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 2017 program chairs, Scott Owens and Meng Wang.


== 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 ==

TBD

== 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 (20 pages). The submission must clearly
indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project,
evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors
are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A
draft paper for which ALL authors are students will receive additional
feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has
taken place.

We use EasyChair for the refereeing process. Papers must be submitted at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp17

Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS
style. For more information about formatting please consult the
Springer LNCS web site:

http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

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

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

ARCADE http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~regerg/arcade/
Automated Reasoning:
Challenges, Applications, Directions, Exemplary achievements

6 August 2017, Gothenburg, Sweden (co-located with CADE-26)

DESCRIPTION:

The main goal of this workshop is to bring together key people
from various subcommunities of automated reasoning---such as
SAT/SMT, resolution, tableaux, theory-specific calculi (e.g. for
description logic, arithmetic, set theory), interactive theorem
proving---to discuss the present, past, and future of the field.
The intention is to provide an opportunity to discuss broad
issues facing the community.

The structure of the workshop will be informal. We invite
extended abstracts (2-4 pages, using the EasyChair class style
http://www.easychair.org/publications/for_authors) in the form
of non-technical position statements aimed at prompting lively
discussion. The title of the workshop is indicative of the kind
of discussions we would like to encourage:

Challenges: What are the next grand challenges for research on
automated reasoning? Thereby, we refer to problems, solving
which would imply a significant impact (e.g., shift of focus) on
the CADE community and beyond. Roughly ten years ago SMT was one
such challenge.

Applications: Is automated reasoning applicable in real-world
(industrial) scenarios? Should reports on such applications be
encouraged at a venue like CADE, perhaps by means of a special
case study paper category?

Directions: Based on the grand challenges and requirements from
real-world applications, what are the research directions the
community should promote? What bridges between the different
subcommunities of automated reasoning need to be strengthened?
What new communities should be included (if at all)? For
example, following Reiner Hähnle's question in the AAR
Newsletter, is there a place at CADE for research on usable
automated reasoning (in resemblance to the flourishing topic of
usable security)?

Exemplary achievements: What are the landmark achievements of
automated reasoning whose influence reached far beyond the CADE
community itself? What can we learn from those successes when
shaping our future research?

Contributions will be grouped into similar themes and authors
will be invited to make their case within discussion panels.
Authors will then be invited to extend their abstracts (e.g., by
transcripts of the discussion and a summary of the discussion's
outcomes) for inclusion in an EPiC post-proceedings.

IMPORTANT DATES (Anywhere on Earth):

Submission deadline: 12 May 2017

[Caml-list] FSCD'17 Call for Papers

(Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement)
==============================================================

CALL FOR PAPERS

Second International Conference on
Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD'17)

3 -- 6 September 2017, Oxford, UK (co-located with ICFP 2017)
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/fscd2017/

FSCD (http://fscdconference.org/) covers all aspects of formal
structures for computation and deduction from theoretical foundations
to applications.  Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting
Techniques and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and
Applications), FSCD embraces their core topics and broadens their
scope to closely related areas in logics, proof theory and new
emerging models of computation such as quantum computing or homotopy
type theory.

==========================================================================

PUBLICATION The proceedings will be published as an electronic volume
in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) of
Schloss Dagstuhl. All LIPIcs proceedings are open access.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions can be made in two categories.
Regular research papers are limited to 15 pages and must present
original research which is unpublished and not submitted
elsewhere. System descriptions are limited to 10 pages and must
describe a working system which has not been published or submitted
elsewhere.  Submissions must be formatted using the LIPIcs style files
and submitted via EasyChair.  Complete instructions on submitting a
paper can be found on the conference web site.

SPECIAL ISSUES Full versions of several accepted papers, to be
selected by the program committee, will be invited for submission to a
special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science.

BEST PAPER AWARD BY JUNIOR RESEARCHERS The program committee will
consider declaring this award to a paper in which all authors are
junior researchers: a junior researcher is a person who is either a
student or whose PhD award date is less than three years from the
first day of the meeting.

[Caml-list] IWIL 2017 with LPAR-21 in Botswana - Call for Papers

12th International Workshop on the Implementation of Logics
http://www.eprover.org/EVENTS/IWIL-2017.html

CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: March 20, 2017.


The 12th International Workshop on the Implementation of Logics will be held on
7th May 2017, in conjunction with the 21th International Conference on Logic
for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning, at Cresta Riley's
Hotel in Maun, Botswana.

We are looking for contributions describing implementation techniques for and
implementations of automated reasoning programs, theorem provers for various
logics, logic programming systems, and related technologies. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

+ Propositional logic and decision procedures, including SMT
+ First-order and higher order logics
+ Non-classical logics, including modal, temporal, description, non-monotonic
reasoning
+ Formal foundations for efficient implementation of logics
+ Data structures and algorithms for the efficient representation and
processing of logical concepts
+ Proof/model search organization and heuristics for logical reasoning systems
+ Data analysis and machine learning approaches to search control
+ Techniques for proof/model search visualization and analysis
+ Reasoning with ontologies and other large theories
+ Implementation of efficient theorem provers and model finders for different
logics
+ System descriptions of logical reasoning systems
+ Issues of reliability, witness generation, and witness verification
+ Evaluation and benchmarking of provers and other logic-based systems
+ I/O standards and communication between reasoning systems

We are particularly interested in contributions that help the community to
understand how to build useful and powerful reasoning systems, and how to apply
them in practice.

Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit a position
statement (2 pages), a short paper (up to 5 pages), or a full paper (up to 15
pages) via the EasyChair page for IWIL-2017.
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwil2017

Submissions will be refereed by the program committee, which will select a
balanced program of high-quality contributions.

Submissions should be in standard-conforming PDF. Final versions will be
required to be submitted in LaTeX using the easychair.cls class file. The
proceedings will be published as a volume of EPiC Computing.

Important Dates:

+ Submission of papers/abstracts: March 20th, 2017
+ Notification of acceptance: April 10th, 2017
+ Camera ready versions due: April 21st, 2017
+ Workshop: May 7th, 2017
