======== 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Research Articles: leading-edge, previously unpublished research work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.


== 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:

website: https://issisp2017.github.io/


** Description

There is an increasing need for Software Security and Protection due to the growing sensitivity of user data coupled with the ubiquitous nature of computing systems ranging from tiny embedded devices to powerful data centers. The International Summer School on Information Security and Protection (ISSISP) highlights this need by bringing internationally renowned speakers from diverse fields in Computer Science such as Software Engineering, Formal Methods, Computer Architecture, Operating Systems and Compiler design into Software Security and Protection.

ISSISP is historically centered on MATE (Man-At-The-End) attack scenarios, with a strong focus on obfuscation and reverse. The 2017 edition will additionally cover control-flow hijacking issues as well as software protections against hardware attacks. ISSISP's courses will include both lectures and hands-on sessions.

The program includes the following speakers:
- Christian Collberg :: obfuscation, watermarking, fingerprinting
- Jack Davidson :: advanced software protections
- Bjorn De Sutter :: anti-deobfuscation techniques and protection evaluation
- Arun Lakhotia :: malware analysis
- Ronan Lashermes :: protection vs fault injection
- Damien Couroussé :: protection vs side-channel attacks
- Roberto Giacobazzi :: semantic foundations of code protection
- Sébastien Bardin :: binary-level formal methods

** Practical details

The School is expected to host around 50 people worldwide, all of them specialized in security, software analysis or related areas. Beside PhD students and young researchers which are our primary target, we also welcome (and expect) the participation of experts from both industry and national agencies.

Fees:
- student: 350 EUR
- academia / startup: 525 EUR

          metaprogramming.

** Implementations: abstract machines; interpreters; compilation;
        compile-time and run-time optimization; garbage collection; memory
    management.

** Foundations: type systems; type classes; dependent types; logical
        frameworks; monads; resource analysis; cost models;
        continuations; control; state; effects; semantics.

** Analysis and Transformation: partial evaluation; abstract
         interpretation; control flow; data flow; information flow;
         termination analysis; resource analysis; type inference and
         type checking; verification; validation; debugging; testing.

** Tools and Applications: programming and proof

Abstract Submission: 12 May   2017
Paper Submission:     19 May   2017
Paper Rebuttal: 10 July  2017
Notification: 20 July  2017
Final Version: 15 Aug   2017

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES:

Submissions can be made in three categories: regular Research Papers, 
System Descriptions, and Experience Reports.

Submissions of Research Papers must present original research which is
unpublished and not submitted elsewhere. They must not exceed 12 pages
ACM style 2-column (including figures and bibliography). Work that
already appeared in unpublished or informally  published workshop
proceedings may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of
questions). Submissions of research papers  will be judged on
originality, significance, correctness, clarity, and readability.    

Submission of System Descriptions must describe a working system whose
description has not been published or submitted elsewhere. They must
not exceed 10 pages and should contain a link to a working system. System
Descriptions must be marked as such at the time of submission and will
be judged on originality, significance, usefulness, clarity, and readability. 

Submissions of Experience Reports are meant to
help create a body of published, refereed, citable evidence where
declarative programming such as functional, logic, answer-set,
constraint programming, etc., is used in practice. They must not
exceed 6 pages. Experience Reports must be marked as such at the time
of submission and need not report original research results.  They
will be judged on significance, usefulness, clarity, and readability.

Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited to:
  * insights gained from real-world projects using declarative
    programming 
  * comparison of declarative programming with conventional
    programming in the context of an industrial project or a
    university curriculum 
  * curricular issues encountered when using declarative programming
    in education 
  * real-world constraints that created special challenges for an
    implementation of a declarative language or for declarative
    programming in general
  * novel use of declarative programming in the classroom  
  * programming pearl that illustrates a nifty new data structure or
    programming technique.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Submissions must be formatted using ACM style files (latest release
December 2016) using the instructions at

 * Run pdflatex sample-sigconf.tex to check that your installation
   works correctly
 * Write your paper using sample-sigconf.tex as a template  

Proofs of theoretical results that do not fit within the page limit,
executables of systems, code of case studies, benchmarks used to
evaluate a given system, etc., should be made available, via a reference to
a website or in an appendix of the paper. Reviewers will be encouraged
to consider this additional material, but are not obliged
to. Submissions must be self-contained within the respective page
limit; considering the additional material should not be necessary to
assess the merits of a submission.  

At least one author of each accepted submission will be expected to
attend and present their paper at the conference. 

Papers must be submitted via easychair. The submission site is at

4th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS)
Affiliated with CADE 2017

August 7, 2017 - Gothenburg, Sweden

http://software.imdea.org/Conferences/hcvs17


Invited speakers:

- Christoph Weidenbach, Max-Planck-Institut fuer Informatik
- Arie Gurfinkel, University of Waterloo


Submission deadlines:

- Paper submission: June 11, 2017
- Paper notification: July 3, 2017
- Workshop: August 7, 2017


Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be
modeled directly using Horn clauses, and many recent advances in the
CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving
problems presented as Horn clauses.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the
communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP),
Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated
Deduction (e.g., CADE), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis,
verification and synthesis.

Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by
these communities at different times and from different perspectives,
and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful
exchange and integration of experiences.

The workshop follows three previous meetings: HCVS 2016 in Eindhoven,
The Netherlands (w/ETAPS), HCVS 2015 in San Francisco, CA, USA
(w/CAV), and HCVS 2014 in Vienna, Austria (w/VSL).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn
clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas:

- Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds
(e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order,
concurrent)
- Program synthesis
- Program testing
- Program transformation
- Constraint solving
- Type systems
- Case studies and tools
- Challenging problems

We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of
Horn-clause based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit
extended abstracts describing work-in-progress, as well as
presentations covering previously published results that are of
interest to the workshop.

- Andrey Rybalchenko (Microsoft Research)
- Valerio Senni (ALES - UTRC)


Submission has to be done in one of the following formats:

- Regular papers (up to 12 pages plus bibliography, typeset in EPTCS
format), which should present previously unpublished work (completed
or in progress), including descriptions of research, tools, and
applications.

- Extended abstracts (up to 3 pages in EPTCS format), which describe
work in progress or aim to initiate discussions.

- Presentation-only papers, i.e., papers already submitted or
presented at a conference or another workshop. Such papers can be
submitted in any format, and will not be included in the workshop
post-proceedings.

All submitted papers will be refereed by the program committee and
will be selected for inclusion in accordance with the referee
reports. Accepted regular papers and extended abstracts will be
published electronically as a volume in the Electronic Proceedings in
Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series, see http://www.eptcs.org/

Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one of
them will be present at the workshop. Papers must be submitted through
the EasyChair system using the web page:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcvs2017.

======== 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.


== 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:
