VerifyThis Verification Competition 2019
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION -- TRAVEL GRANTS
Competition to be held at ETAPS 2019
http://verifythis.ethz.ch
********************************************************************************
IMPORTANT DATES
Grant application deadline: March 7, 2019
Competition: April 6 and 7, 2019
ABOUT
VerifyThis 2019 is a program verification competition taking place as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2019) on April 6-7, 2019 in Prague, Czech Republic.
It is the 8th event in the VerifyThis competition series.
The competition will offer a number of challenges presented in natural language and pseudo code.
Participants have to formalize the requirements, implement a solution, and formally verify the implementation for adherence to the specification.
There are no restrictions on the programming language and verification technology used.
The correctness properties posed in problems will have the input-output behaviour of programs in focus. Solutions will be judged for correctness, completeness, and elegance.
PARTICIPATION
Participation is open for anybody interested.
Teams of up to two people are allowed.
Registration for ETAPS workshops and physical presence on site is required.
We particularly encourage participation of:
- student teams (this includes PhD students)
- non-developer teams using a tool someone else developed
- several teams using the same tool
TRAVEL GRANTS
The competition has funds for a limited number of travel grants.
A grant covers the incurred travel and accommodation costs up to a certain limit.
The expected limit is EUR 350 for those coming from Europe and EUR 600 for those coming from outside Europe.
To apply for a travel grant, send an email to verifythis@cs.nuim.ie by March 7, 2019. The application should include:
- your name
- your affiliation
- the verification system(s) you plan to use at the competition
- the planned composition of your team (and whether you are developers of the tools you'll be using)
- a short letter of motivation explaining your involvement with formal verification so far
- if you are a student, please state the academic degree you are seeking and have your supervisor send a brief letter of support to verifythis@cs.nuim.ie

INVITED SPEAKERS
Dominique Bolignano, Prove & Run
Gernot Heiser, University of New South Wales
Frank Piessens, KU Leuven
Peter Sewell, University of Cambridge
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission: March 11 2019
Author notification: April 10, 2019
Camera-ready versions: April 22, 2019 (strict)
Workshop: 16 June 2019
AIM AND SCOPE
Low level software such as kernels and drivers, along with the hardware
this software runs on, is critical for application security. In contrast
with user applications, OS kernel software runs in privileged CPU mode
and is thus highly critical. Large projects such as seL4, VeriSoft,
CertiKoS and Prosper have invested considerable resources in developing
formally verified systems such as hypervisors and microkernels, supplying
proofs that they satisfy critical properties. Such proofs are delicate in
terms of the scale and complexity of real systems, the models used in
performing the proof search, and the relations between the two, which
recent vulnerabilities such as Spectre and Meltdown have shown to be a
highly non-trivial issue.
The purpose of this workshop is to share, compare and disseminate best
practices, tools and methodologies to verify OS kernels, also setting the
stage for future steps in the direction of fully verified systems,
dealing with issues related to modelling, model validation, and large
proof maintenance through system evolution. On one hand, we need to make
low-level proofs more scalable, modular and cost-effective. On the other
hand, once certified systems are available, preservation and maintenance
of their proofs of validity become key questions.
The goal of the ENTROPY workshop is to provide a forum for researchers
and practitioners in this space, linking operating systems, formal
methods, and hardware architecture, interested in system design as well
as machine verified mathematical proofs using proof assistants such as
Coq, Isabelle and HOL4.
This will be the second edition of the ENTROPY workshop series. The
first workshop was organised by the Pip Development Team at University
of Lille in 2018.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
* Verified kernels and hypervisors
* Verified security architectures and models
* Tools and frameworks for hardware security analysis
* Tools and frameworks for security analysis
* Formal hardware models and model validation techniques
* Theorem prover based tools and frameworks for verification of low level code
* Combinations of static analysis and theorem proving
* Theories and techniques for compositional security analysis
* Case studies and industrial experience reports
* Proof maintenance techniques and problems
* Compositional models and verification techniques
* Proof oriented design
The aim of the workshop is to stimulate innovation and active exchange
of ideas, so position papers, work-in-progress and industrial
experience submissions are welcome.
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
There are two categories of submissions:
1. Regular papers describing fully developed work and complete results
(10 pages, references included, IEEE format)
2. Short papers, position papers, industry experience reports,
work-in-progress submissions (4 pages, references included, IEEE
format)
All papers should be in English and describe original work that has not
been published or submitted elsewhere. The submission category should
be clearly indicated. All submissions will be fully reviewed by members
of the Programme Committee. Papers will appear in IEEE Xplore in a
companion volume to the regular EuroS&P proceedings. For formatting and
submission instructions see https://entropy2019.sciencesconf.org.

[Caml-list] CADE-27: Second Call for Papers
The 27th International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-27)
Natal, Brazil
25-30 August 2019
http://www.cade-27.info
CALL FOR PAPERS
CADE is the major international forum for presenting research on all aspects
of automated deduction. High-quality submissions on the general topic of
automated deduction, including foundations, applications, implementations,
theoretical results, practical experiences and user studies are solicited.
Key dates:
Abstract deadline (extended): 20 February 2019
Submission deadline (extended): 27 February 2019
* Logics of interest include propositional, first-order, equational,
higher-order, classical, description, modal, temporal, many-valued,
constructive, other non-classical, meta-logics, logical frameworks, type
theory, set theory, as well as any combination thereof.
* Paradigms of interest include theorem proving, model building, constraint
solving, computer algebra, model checking, proof checking, and their
integration.
* Methods of interest include resolution, superposition, completion,
saturation, term rewriting, decision procedures, model elimination,
connection methods, tableaux, sequent calculi, natural deduction, as
well as their supporting algorithms and data structures, including
matching, unification, orderings, induction, indexing techniques, proof
presentation and explanation, proof planning.
* Applications of interest include program analysis, verification and
synthesis of software and hardware, formal methods, computational logic,
computer mathematics, natural language processing, computational
linguistics, knowledge representation, ontology reasoning, deductive
databases, declarative programming, robotics, planning, and other areas
of artificial intelligence.
Submissions can be made in two categories: regular papers and system
descriptions. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 15 pages excluding
references for regular papers and 10 pages excluding references for system
descriptions. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for
publication elsewhere. They will be judged on relevance, originality,
significance, correctness, and readability. System descriptions must
contain a link to a working system and will also be judged on usefulness
and design. Proofs of theoretical results that do not fit in the page limit,
executables of systems, and input data of experiments should be made
available, via a reference to a website or in an appendix of the paper.
For papers containing experimental evaluations, all data needed to rerun
the experiments must be available. Reviewers will be encouraged to consider
this additional material, but 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. The review process will
include a feedback/rebuttal period where authors will have the option to
respond to reviewer comments. The PC chair may solicit further reviews after
the rebuttal period.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer LNCS/LNAI
series. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
At every CADE conference the Program Committee selects one of the accepted
papers to receive the CADE Best Paper Award. The award recognizes a paper
that the Program Committee collegially evaluates as the best in terms of
originality and significance, having substantial confidence in its correctness.
Overall technical quality, completeness, scholarly accuracy, and readability
are also considered. Characteristics associated with a best paper include,
for instance, introduction of a strong new technique or approach, solution
of a long-standing open problem, introduction and solution of an interesting
and important new problem, highly innovative application of known ideas or
existing techniques, and presentation of a new system of outstanding power.
Under exceptional circumstances, the Program Committee may give two awards
(ex aequo) or give no award.

[Caml-list] Call for Applications: ETAPS Mentoring Workshop, 7 April 2019
====================================================================
Call for Applications: ETAPS Mentoring Workshop, 7 April 2019
====================================================================
*NEW* - ETAPS 2019 is running a mentoring workshop to encourage
students to pursue graduate studies.
The workshop is held on Sunday April 7 in conjunction with ETAPS
in Prague.
In addition to the workshop on Sunday, attendees are invited to
mentoring breakfasts and evening lectures.
The ETAPS Mentoring Workshop is organised with the intention of
helping students early in a program with advice on research,
career, and (academic) life in the fields of Computing that are
covered by the ETAPS conference. Students will attend lectures
that describe key ideas in the field but also how the researchers
came up with those ideas, what obstacles they had to overcome and
other helpful advice. Students will work together during the
workshop to meet a common goal, and will present their results for
the mentoring researchers and get feedback.
During mentoring breakfasts, students will get to interact
one-on-one with researchers at. Prospective Ph.D. students
(undergraduates and Masters) will be assigned mentors who will
help them navigate the conference.
This is a closed workshop: an application is required to attend.
It is possible to be both a Student Volunteer and an mentoring
workshop attendee.
*** Application deadline: March 1st. ***

For additional details see
https://conf.researchr.org/track/etaps-2019/etaps-2019-ETAPS-Mentoring-Workshop
A purpose of the workshop is to promote diversity and increase the
participation of students who are members of underrepresented
groups in graduate studies in the fields of the conferences and
workshops under the ETAPS umbrella. We therefore especially
encourage applications from women, Aboriginal peoples, persons
with disabilities, and other groups underrepresented in computing.
This workshop provides these students with valuable opportunities
for mentorship and networking.
Very limited funding may be available for students who would not
be able to attend otherwise (these funds depend on our ability to
raise industrial sponsorships). Students may also apply to be
Student Volunteer to be able to attend the rest of the conference,
There are also 10 ETAPS Student Scholarships which give 500 Euros
to students coming to Prague.

### About PACMPL
Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages (PACMPL
<https://pacmpl.acm.org/>) is a Gold Open Access journal publishing
research on all aspects of programming languages, from design to
implementation and from mathematical formalisms to empirical
studies. Each issue of the journal is devoted to a particular subject
area within programming languages and will be announced through
publicized Calls for Papers, like this one.
### Scope
[PACMPL](https://pacmpl.acm.org/) issue ICFP 2019 seeks original
papers on the art and science of functional programming. Submissions
are invited on all topics from principles to practice, from
foundations to features, and from abstraction to application. The
scope includes all languages that encourage functional programming,
including both purely applicative and imperative languages, as well as
languages with objects, concurrency, or parallelism. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):
* *Language Design*: concurrency, parallelism, and distribution;
modules; components and composition; metaprogramming; type
systems; interoperability; domain-specific languages; and
relations to imperative, object-oriented, or logic programming.
* *Implementation*: abstract machines; virtual machines;
interpretation; compilation; compile-time and run-time
optimization; garbage collection and memory management;
multi-threading; exploiting parallel hardware; interfaces to
foreign functions, services, components, or low-level machine
resources.
* *Software-Development Techniques*: algorithms and data structures;
design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof
assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling.
* *Foundations*: formal semantics; lambda calculus; rewriting; type
theory; monads; continuations; control; state; effects; program
verification; dependent types.
* *Analysis and Transformation*: control-flow; data-flow; abstract
interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation.
* *Applications*: symbolic computing; formal-methods tools;
artificial intelligence; systems programming; distributed-systems
and web programming; hardware design; databases; XML processing;
scientific and numerical computing; graphical user interfaces;
multimedia and 3D graphics programming; scripting; system
administration; security.
* *Education*: teaching introductory programming; parallel
programming; mathematical proof; algebra.
Submissions will be evaluated according to their relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. Each submission
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.
PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 also welcomes submissions in two separate
categories — Functional Pearls and Experience Reports —
that must be marked as such at the time of submission and that need
not report original research results. Detailed guidelines on both
categories are given at the end of this call.
Please contact the principal editor if you have questions or are
concerned about the appropriateness of a topic.
### Preparation of submissions
**Deadline**: The deadline for submissions is **Friday, March 1, 2019**,
Anywhere on Earth (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>).
This deadline will be strictly enforced.
**Formatting**: Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black
and white on US Letter sized paper, and interpretable by common PDF
tools. All submissions must adhere to the "ACM Small" template that is
available (in both LaTeX and Word formats) from
<https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions>. For authors
using LaTeX, a lighter-weight package, including only the essential
files, is available from
<http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format>.
There is a limit of **25 pages for a full paper or Functional Pearl**
and **12 pages for an Experience Report**; in either case, the
bibliography will not be counted against these limits. Submissions
that exceed the page limits or, for other reasons, do not meet the
requirements for formatting, will be summarily rejected. Supplementary
material can and should be **separately** submitted (see below).
See also PACMPL's Information and Guidelines for Authors at
<https://pacmpl.acm.org/authors.cfm>.
**Submission**: Submissions will be accepted at <https://icfp19.hotcrp.com/>
Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the
submission deadline using the same web interface.
**Author Response Period**: Authors will have a 72-hour period,
starting at 14:00 UTC on **Tuesday, April 16, 2019**, to read reviews
and respond to them.
**Supplementary Material**: Authors have the option to attach
supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that
reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material
should **not** be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it
should be uploaded as a **separate** PDF document or tarball.
Supplementary material should be uploaded **at submission time**, not
by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository.
Authors are free to upload both anonymized and non-anonymized
supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be
visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary
material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted
their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s).
**Authorship Policies**: All submissions are expected to comply with
the ACM Policies for Authorship that are detailed at
<https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors>.
**Republication Policies**: Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's
republication policy, as explained on the web at
<http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication>.
**Resubmitted Papers**: Authors who submit a revised version of a
paper that has previously been rejected by another conference 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 principal editor
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.
### Review Process
This section outlines the two-stage process with lightweight
double-blind reviewing that will be used to select papers for PACMPL
issue ICFP 2019. We anticipate that there will be a need to clarify
and expand on this process, and we will maintain a list of frequently
asked questions and answers on the conference website to address
common concerns.
**PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 will employ a two-stage review process.** The
first stage in the review process will assess submitted papers using
the criteria stated above and will allow for feedback and input on
initial reviews through the author response period mentioned
previously. At the review meeting, a set of papers will be
conditionally accepted and all other papers will be rejected.
Authors will be notified of these decisions on **May 3, 2019**.
Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with
committee reviews (just as in previous conferences) along with a set
of mandatory revisions. After four weeks (May 31, 2019), the authors
will provide a second submission. The second and final reviewing phase
assesses whether the mandatory revisions have been adequately
addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final
accept/reject status of the paper. The intent and expectation is that
the mandatory revisions can be addressed within four weeks and hence
that conditionally accepted papers will in general be accepted in the
second phase.
The second submission should clearly identify how the mandatory
revisions were addressed. To that end, the second submission must be
accompanied by a cover letter mapping each mandatory revision request
to specific parts of the paper. The cover letter will facilitate a
quick second review, allowing for confirmation of final acceptance
within two weeks. Conversely, the absence of a cover letter will be
grounds for the paper's rejection.
**PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 will employ a lightweight double-blind
reviewing process.** To facilitate this, submitted papers must
adhere to two rules:
1. **author names and institutions must be omitted**, and
2. **references to authors' own related work should be in the third
person** (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather
"We build on the work of ...").
The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an
initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it
impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to
try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally
would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the
web or give talks on their research ideas.
### Information for Authors of Accepted Papers
* As a condition of acceptance, final versions of all papers must
adhere to the new ACM Small format. The page limit for the final
versions of papers will be increased by two pages to help authors
respond to reviewer comments and mandatory revisions: **27 pages
plus bibliography for a regular paper or Functional Pearl, 14 pages
plus bibliography for an Experience Report**.
* Authors of accepted submissions will be required to agree to one of
the three ACM licensing options: open access on payment of a fee
(**recommended**, and SIGPLAN can cover the cost as described next);
copyright transfer to ACM; or retaining copyright but granting ACM
exclusive publication rights. Further information about ACM author
rights is available from <http://authors.acm.org>.
* PACMPL is a Gold Open Access journal. It will be archived in ACM's
Digital Library, but no membership or fee is required for
access. Gold Open Access has been made possible by generous funding
through ACM SIGPLAN, which will cover all open access costs in the
event authors cannot. Authors who can cover the costs may do so by
paying an Article Processing Charge (APC). PACMPL, SIGPLAN, and ACM
Headquarters are committed to exploring routes to making Gold Open
Access publication both affordable and sustainable.
* ACM offers authors a range of copyright options, one of which is
Creative Commons CC-BY publication; this is the option recommended
by the PACMPL editorial board. A reasoned argument in favour of this
option can be found in the article [Why
CC-BY?](https://oaspa.org/why-cc-by/) published by OASPA, the Open
Access Scholarly Publishers Association.
* We intend that the papers will be freely available for download from
the ACM Digital Library in perpetuity via the OpenTOC mechanism.
* 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 to the definitive version of an
ACM article should reduce user confusion over article
versioning. After an article has been published and assigned to the
appropriate ACM Author Profile pages, authors should visit
<http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service> to learn
how to create links for free downloads from the ACM DL.
* At least one author of each accepted submissions will be expected to
attend and present their paper at the conference. The schedule for
presentations will be determined and shared with authors after the
full program has been selected. Presentations will be videotaped
and released online if the presenter consents.
* The official publication date is the date the papers are made
available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to *two
weeks prior* to the first day of the conference. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related
to published work.
### Artifact Evaluation
Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase
of the review process will be encouraged (but not required) to submit
supporting materials for Artifact Evaluation. These items will then be
reviewed by an Artifact Evaluation Committee, separate from the paper
Review Committee, whose task is to assess how the artifacts support
the work described in the associated paper. Papers that go through the
Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of
approval printed on the papers themselves. Authors of accepted papers
will be encouraged to make the supporting materials publicly available
upon publication of the papers, for example, by including them as
"source materials" in the ACM Digital Library. An additional seal
will mark papers whose artifacts are made available, as outlined in
the ACM guidelines for artifact badging.
Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary and will not
influence the final decision regarding paper acceptance.
### Special categories of papers
In addition to research papers, PACMPL issue ICFP solicits two kinds
of papers that do not require original research contributions:
Functional Pearls, which are full papers, and Experience Reports,
which are limited to half the length of a full paper. Authors
submitting such papers should consider the following guidelines.
#### Functional Pearls
A Functional Pearl is an elegant essay about something related to
functional programming. Examples include, but are not limited to:
* a new and thought-provoking way of looking at an old idea
* an instructive example of program calculation or proof
* a nifty presentation of an old or new data structure
* an interesting application of functional programming techniques
* a novel use or exposition of functional programming in the classroom
While pearls often demonstrate an idea through the development of a
short program, there is no requirement or expectation that they do
so. Thus, they encompass the notions of theoretical and educational
pearls.
Functional Pearls are valued as highly and judged as rigorously as
ordinary papers, but using somewhat different criteria. In particular,
a pearl is not required to report original research, but, it should be
concise, instructive, and entertaining. A pearl is likely to be
rejected if its readers get bored, if the material gets too
complicated, if too much specialized knowledge is needed, or if the
writing is inelegant. The key to writing a good pearl is polishing.
A submission that is intended to be treated as a pearl must be marked
as such on the submission web page, and should contain the words
"Functional Pearl" somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps
will alert reviewers to use the appropriate evaluation
criteria. Pearls will be combined with ordinary papers, however, for
the purpose of computing the conference's acceptance rate.
#### Experience Reports
The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of
published, refereed, citable evidence that functional programming
really works — or to describe what obstacles prevent it from
working.
Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited to:
* insights gained from real-world projects using functional programming
* comparison of functional programming with conventional programming
in the context of an industrial project or a university curriculum
* project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when
using functional programming in a real-world project
* curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in education
* real-world constraints that created special challenges for an
implementation of a functional language or for functional
programming in general
An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal PACMPL issue ICFP
paper by its title, by its length, and by the criteria used to
evaluate it.
* Both in the papers and in any citations, the title of each
accepted Experience Report must end with the words "(Experience
Report)" in parentheses. The acceptance rate for Experience
Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for
ordinary papers.
* Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long,
excluding bibliography.
* Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the
conference, but depending on the number of Experience Reports and
regular papers accepted, authors of Experience reports may be
asked to give shorter talks.
* Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our
community to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of
functional programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not
add to the body of knowledge of the functional-programming
community by presenting novel results or conclusions. It is
sufficient if the Report states a clear thesis and provides
supporting evidence. The thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it
need not be novel.
The review committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on
whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence
will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains
what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as
possible. Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers
which show how functional programming was used than from papers which
only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing
evidence often includes comparisons of situations before and after the
introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence
drawn from a single person's experience may be sufficient, but more
weight will be given to evidence drawn from the experience of groups
of people.
An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make
a claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular
project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If
functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has
worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results —
the main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in
what context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of
the project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize
the project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to
what degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The
paper should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the
project. Specifics about the project are more valuable than
generalities about functional programming; for example, it is more
valuable to say that the team delivered its software a month ahead of
schedule than it is to say that functional programming made the team
more productive.
If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new
technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of
the functional-programming community, it may be better to submit it as
a full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty,
originality, and relevance. The principal editor will be happy to
advise on any concerns about which category to submit to.

### About PACMPL
Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages (PACMPL
<https://pacmpl.acm.org/>) is a Gold Open Access journal publishing
research on all aspects of programming languages, from design to
implementation and from mathematical formalisms to empirical
studies. Each issue of the journal is devoted to a particular subject
area within programming languages and will be announced through
publicized Calls for Papers, like this one.
### Scope
[PACMPL](https://pacmpl.acm.org/) issue ICFP 2019 seeks original
papers on the art and science of functional programming. Submissions
are invited on all topics from principles to practice, from
foundations to features, and from abstraction to application. The
scope includes all languages that encourage functional programming,
including both purely applicative and imperative languages, as well as
languages with objects, concurrency, or parallelism. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):
* *Language Design*: concurrency, parallelism, and distribution;
modules; components and composition; metaprogramming; type
systems; interoperability; domain-specific languages; and
relations to imperative, object-oriented, or logic programming.
* *Implementation*: abstract machines; virtual machines;
interpretation; compilation; compile-time and run-time
optimization; garbage collection and memory management;
multi-threading; exploiting parallel hardware; interfaces to
foreign functions, services, components, or low-level machine
resources.
* *Software-Development Techniques*: algorithms and data structures;
design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof
assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling.
* *Foundations*: formal semantics; lambda calculus; rewriting; type
theory; monads; continuations; control; state; effects; program
verification; dependent types.
* *Analysis and Transformation*: control-flow; data-flow; abstract
interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation.
* *Applications*: symbolic computing; formal-methods tools;
artificial intelligence; systems programming; distributed-systems
and web programming; hardware design; databases; XML processing;
scientific and numerical computing; graphical user interfaces;
multimedia and 3D graphics programming; scripting; system
administration; security.
* *Education*: teaching introductory programming; parallel
programming; mathematical proof; algebra.
Submissions will be evaluated according to their relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. Each submission
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.
PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 also welcomes submissions in two separate
categories — Functional Pearls and Experience Reports —
that must be marked as such at the time of submission and that need
not report original research results. Detailed guidelines on both
categories are given at the end of this call.
Please contact the principal editor if you have questions or are
concerned about the appropriateness of a topic.
### Preparation of submissions
**Deadline**: The deadline for submissions is **Friday, March 1, 2019**,
Anywhere on Earth (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>).
This deadline will be strictly enforced.
**Formatting**: Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black
and white on US Letter sized paper, and interpretable by common PDF
tools. All submissions must adhere to the "ACM Small" template that is
available (in both LaTeX and Word formats) from
<https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions>. For authors
using LaTeX, a lighter-weight package, including only the essential
files, is available from
<http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format>.
There is a limit of **25 pages for a full paper or Functional Pearl**
and **12 pages for an Experience Report**; in either case, the
bibliography will not be counted against these limits. Submissions
that exceed the page limits or, for other reasons, do not meet the
requirements for formatting, will be summarily rejected. Supplementary
material can and should be **separately** submitted (see below).
See also PACMPL's Information and Guidelines for Authors at
<https://pacmpl.acm.org/authors.cfm>.
**Submission**: Submissions will be accepted at <https://icfp19.hotcrp.com/>
Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the
submission deadline using the same web interface.
**Author Response Period**: Authors will have a 72-hour period,
starting at 14:00 UTC on **Tuesday, April 16, 2019**, to read reviews
and respond to them.
**Supplementary Material**: Authors have the option to attach
supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that
reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material
should **not** be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it
should be uploaded as a **separate** PDF document or tarball.
Supplementary material should be uploaded **at submission time**, not
by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository.
Authors are free to upload both anonymized and non-anonymized
supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be
visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary
material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted
their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s).
**Authorship Policies**: All submissions are expected to comply with
the ACM Policies for Authorship that are detailed at
<https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors>.
**Republication Policies**: Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's
republication policy, as explained on the web at
<http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication>.
**Resubmitted Papers**: Authors who submit a revised version of a
paper that has previously been rejected by another conference 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 principal editor
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.
### Review Process
This section outlines the two-stage process with lightweight
double-blind reviewing that will be used to select papers for PACMPL
issue ICFP 2019. We anticipate that there will be a need to clarify
and expand on this process, and we will maintain a list of frequently
asked questions and answers on the conference website to address
common concerns.
**PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 will employ a two-stage review process.** The
first stage in the review process will assess submitted papers using
the criteria stated above and will allow for feedback and input on
initial reviews through the author response period mentioned
previously. At the review meeting, a set of papers will be
conditionally accepted and all other papers will be rejected.
Authors will be notified of these decisions on **May 3, 2019**.
Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with
committee reviews (just as in previous conferences) along with a set
of mandatory revisions. After four weeks (May 31, 2019), the authors
will provide a second submission. The second and final reviewing phase
assesses whether the mandatory revisions have been adequately
addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final
accept/reject status of the paper. The intent and expectation is that
the mandatory revisions can be addressed within four weeks and hence
that conditionally accepted papers will in general be accepted in the
second phase.
The second submission should clearly identify how the mandatory
revisions were addressed. To that end, the second submission must be
accompanied by a cover letter mapping each mandatory revision request
to specific parts of the paper. The cover letter will facilitate a
quick second review, allowing for confirmation of final acceptance
within two weeks. Conversely, the absence of a cover letter will be
grounds for the paper's rejection.
**PACMPL issue ICFP 2019 will employ a lightweight double-blind
reviewing process.** To facilitate this, submitted papers must
adhere to two rules:
1. **author names and institutions must be omitted**, and
2. **references to authors' own related work should be in the third
person** (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather
"We build on the work of ...").
The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an
initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it
impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to
try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally
would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the
web or give talks on their research ideas.
### Information for Authors of Accepted Papers
* As a condition of acceptance, final versions of all papers must
adhere to the new ACM Small format. The page limit for the final
versions of papers will be increased by two pages to help authors
respond to reviewer comments and mandatory revisions: **27 pages
plus bibliography for a regular paper or Functional Pearl, 14 pages
plus bibliography for an Experience Report**.
* Authors of accepted submissions will be required to agree to one of
the three ACM licensing options: open access on payment of a fee
(**recommended**, and SIGPLAN can cover the cost as described next);
copyright transfer to ACM; or retaining copyright but granting ACM
exclusive publication rights. Further information about ACM author
rights is available from <http://authors.acm.org>.
* PACMPL is a Gold Open Access journal. It will be archived in ACM's
Digital Library, but no membership or fee is required for
access. Gold Open Access has been made possible by generous funding
through ACM SIGPLAN, which will cover all open access costs in the
event authors cannot. Authors who can cover the costs may do so by
paying an Article Processing Charge (APC). PACMPL, SIGPLAN, and ACM
Headquarters are committed to exploring routes to making Gold Open
Access publication both affordable and sustainable.
* ACM offers authors a range of copyright options, one of which is
Creative Commons CC-BY publication; this is the option recommended
by the PACMPL editorial board. A reasoned argument in favour of this
option can be found in the article [Why
CC-BY?](https://oaspa.org/why-cc-by/) published by OASPA, the Open
Access Scholarly Publishers Association.
* We intend that the papers will be freely available for download from
the ACM Digital Library in perpetuity via the OpenTOC mechanism.
* 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 to the definitive version of an
ACM article should reduce user confusion over article
versioning. After an article has been published and assigned to the
appropriate ACM Author Profile pages, authors should visit
<http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service> to learn
how to create links for free downloads from the ACM DL.
* At least one author of each accepted submissions will be expected to
attend and present their paper at the conference. The schedule for
presentations will be determined and shared with authors after the
full program has been selected. Presentations will be videotaped
and released online if the presenter consents.
* The official publication date is the date the papers are made
available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to *two
weeks prior* to the first day of the conference. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related
to published work.
### Artifact Evaluation
Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase
of the review process will be encouraged (but not required) to submit
supporting materials for Artifact Evaluation. These items will then be
reviewed by an Artifact Evaluation Committee, separate from the paper
Review Committee, whose task is to assess how the artifacts support
the work described in the associated paper. Papers that go through the
Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of
approval printed on the papers themselves. Authors of accepted papers
will be encouraged to make the supporting materials publicly available
upon publication of the papers, for example, by including them as
"source materials" in the ACM Digital Library. An additional seal
will mark papers whose artifacts are made available, as outlined in
the ACM guidelines for artifact badging.
Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary and will not
influence the final decision regarding paper acceptance.
### Special categories of papers
In addition to research papers, PACMPL issue ICFP solicits two kinds
of papers that do not require original research contributions:
Functional Pearls, which are full papers, and Experience Reports,
which are limited to half the length of a full paper. Authors
submitting such papers should consider the following guidelines.
#### Functional Pearls
A Functional Pearl is an elegant essay about something related to
functional programming. Examples include, but are not limited to:
* a new and thought-provoking way of looking at an old idea
* an instructive example of program calculation or proof
* a nifty presentation of an old or new data structure
* an interesting application of functional programming techniques
* a novel use or exposition of functional programming in the classroom
While pearls often demonstrate an idea through the development of a
short program, there is no requirement or expectation that they do
so. Thus, they encompass the notions of theoretical and educational
pearls.
Functional Pearls are valued as highly and judged as rigorously as
ordinary papers, but using somewhat different criteria. In particular,
a pearl is not required to report original research, but, it should be
concise, instructive, and entertaining. A pearl is likely to be
rejected if its readers get bored, if the material gets too
complicated, if too much specialized knowledge is needed, or if the
writing is inelegant. The key to writing a good pearl is polishing.
A submission that is intended to be treated as a pearl must be marked
as such on the submission web page, and should contain the words
"Functional Pearl" somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps
will alert reviewers to use the appropriate evaluation
criteria. Pearls will be combined with ordinary papers, however, for
the purpose of computing the conference's acceptance rate.
#### Experience Reports
The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of
published, refereed, citable evidence that functional programming
really works — or to describe what obstacles prevent it from
working.
Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited to:
* insights gained from real-world projects using functional programming
* comparison of functional programming with conventional programming
in the context of an industrial project or a university curriculum
* project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when
using functional programming in a real-world project
* curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in education
* real-world constraints that created special challenges for an
implementation of a functional language or for functional
programming in general
An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal PACMPL issue ICFP
paper by its title, by its length, and by the criteria used to
evaluate it.
* Both in the papers and in any citations, the title of each
accepted Experience Report must end with the words "(Experience
Report)" in parentheses. The acceptance rate for Experience
Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for
ordinary papers.
* Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long,
excluding bibliography.
* Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the
conference, but depending on the number of Experience Reports and
regular papers accepted, authors of Experience reports may be
asked to give shorter talks.
* Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our
community to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of
functional programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not
add to the body of knowledge of the functional-programming
community by presenting novel results or conclusions. It is
sufficient if the Report states a clear thesis and provides
supporting evidence. The thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it
need not be novel.
The review committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on
whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence
will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains
what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as
possible. Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers
which show how functional programming was used than from papers which
only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing
evidence often includes comparisons of situations before and after the
introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence
drawn from a single person's experience may be sufficient, but more
weight will be given to evidence drawn from the experience of groups
of people.
An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make
a claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular
project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If
functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has
worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results —
the main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in
what context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of
the project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize
the project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to
what degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The
paper should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the
project. Specifics about the project are more valuable than
generalities about functional programming; for example, it is more
valuable to say that the team delivered its software a month ahead of
schedule than it is to say that functional programming made the team
more productive.
If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new
technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of
the functional-programming community, it may be better to submit it as
a full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty,
originality, and relevance. The principal editor will be happy to
advise on any concerns about which category to submit to.

VENUE
Philadelphia, or the "City of Brotherly Love," is the sixth-largest city in the
United States and once served as the nation's capital. Philadelphia is an active
historical and cultural hub, and has been striving for excellence since 1776.
The city's rich history of knowledge and academic prowess has never diminished
as it continues to promote and foster higher education. Visitors can explore
various attractions in and around Philadelphia, such as the Philadelphia Museum
of Art, the Franklin Institute, the Barnes Foundation, the Reading Terminal Market,
and much more.
Located on the East Coast of the U.S., between New York City and Washington D.C.,
Philadelphia is easily reachable by air, train, and car. As a testament to
Philadelphia's commitment to educational advancement, Datalog 2.0 2019 will be held
in one of the city's top colleges, Saint Joseph's University. Saint Joseph's
campus is located at the outskirts of the city, in an area that features historic homes,
green areas, and a quick connection to Philadelphia's Center City and Old City.

VENUE
Philadelphia, or the "City of Brotherly Love," is the sixth-largest city in the
United States and once served as the nation's capital. Philadelphia is an active
historical and cultural hub, and has been striving for excellence since 1776.
The city's rich history of knowledge and academic prowess has never diminished
as it continues to promote and foster higher education. Visitors can explore
various attractions in and around Philadelphia, such as the Philadelphia Museum
of Art, the Franklin Institute, the Barnes Foundation, the Reading Terminal Market,
and much more.
Located on the East Coast of the U.S., between New York City and Washington D.C.,
Philadelphia is easily reachable by air, train, and car. As a testament to
Philadelphia's commitment to educational advancement, Datalog 2.0 2019 will be held
in one of the city's top colleges, Saint Joseph's University. Saint Joseph's
campus is located at the outskirts of the city, in an area that features historic homes,
green areas, and a quick connection to Philadelphia's Center City and Old City.

The 17th International Symposium on Database Programming Languages
https://pldi19.sigplan.org/track/dbpl-2019-papers
Phoenix, Arizona, USA
June 23, 2019
hosted as part of PLDI 2019
Call for Papers
For over 25 years, DBPL has established itself as the principal venue
for publishing and discussing new ideas at the intersection of databases
and programming languages. Many key contributions in query languages for
object-oriented data, persistent databases, nested relational data, and
semistructured data, as well as fundamental ideas in types for query
languages, were first announced at DBPL. Today, this creative research
area is broadening into a subfield of data-centric computation,
currently scattered among a range of venues. DBPL is an established
destination for such new ideas and solicits submissions from researchers
in databases, programming languages or any other community interested in
the design, implementation or foundations of data-centric computation.
Scope
-----
DBPL solicits practical and theoretical papers in all topics at the
intersection of databases and programming languages. Papers emphasizing
new topics or emerging areas are especially
welcome. Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for
submissions include:
- Compiling Query Languages to Modern Hardware
- Data-Centric Programming Abstractions, Comprehensions, Monads
- Data Integration, Exchange, and Interoperability
- Data Synchronization and Bidirectional Transformations
- Declarative Data Centers (e.g., distributed query processing,
serverless computing platforms, social computing platforms, etc)
- Emerging and Nontraditional Data Models
- Language-Based Security in Data Management
- Language-Integrated Query Mechanisms
- Managing Uncertain and Imprecise Information
- Metaprogramming and Heterogeneous Staged Computation
- Programming Language Support for Data-Centric Programming (e.g.,
databases, web programming, machine learning, etc)
- Query Compilation and In-memory Databases
- Query Language Design and Implementation
- Query Transformation and Optimization
- Schema Mapping and Metadata Management
- Semantics and Verification of Database Systems
- Stream Data Processing and Query Languages
- Type and Effect Systems for Data-Centric Programming
Author Guidelines
-----------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers in English
presenting original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and
not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should be no more
than 10 pages long, excluding references, in the two-column ACM
proceedings format, following PLDI's formatting requirements
(https://pldi19.sigplan.org/track/pldi-2019-papers#Call-for-Papers).
Each submission should begin with a succinct statement of the problem
and a summary of the main results. Authors may provide more details to
substantiate the main claims of the paper by including a clearly marked
appendix at the end of the submission, which is not included in the page
limit and is read at the discretion of the committee.
At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the symposium to
present their work.
Short papers of at most 4 pages (same format as long papers) describing
work in progress, demos, research challenges or visions are also
welcome. Accepted short papers may be included or excluded from the
formal proceedings, whichever the author(s) prefer.
Full and short papers are both due on the deadline, February 15, 2019.
Instructions on how to submit will be posted on the symposium website
noted above.

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 at scope).
Please be aware that TFP uses two distinct rounds of submissions (see
below at submission
details).
TFP 2019 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming
events. TFP 2019
will be accompanied by the International Workshop on Trends in
Functional Programming
in Education (TFPIE), which will take place on June 11.
== 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 2019 program chairs, William J. Bowman and Ron Garcia.
== 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.
== Instructions to Author ==
Papers must be submitted at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2019
Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally
reviewed either
before or after the Symposium.
== Pre-symposium formal review ==
Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted
before an early
deadline and receive their reviews and notification of acceptance for
both presentation
and publication before the symposium. A paper that has been rejected in
this process may
still be accepted for presentation at the symposium, but will not be
considered for the
post-symposium formal review.
== Post-symposium formal review ==
Papers submitted for post-symposium review (draft papers) will receive
minimal reviews and
notification of acceptance for presentation at the symposium. Authors of
draft papers will
be invited to submit revised papers based on the feedback received at
the symposium. A
post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these
articles for formal
publication.
== Paper categories ==
There are two types of submission, each of which can be submitted either
for pre-symposium
or post-symposium review:
Extended abstracts. Extended abstracts are 4 to 10 pages in length.
Full papers. Full papers are up to 20 pages in length.
Each submission also belongs to a category:
research
position
project
evaluation
overview paper
Each submission should clearly indicate to which category it belongs.
Additionally, a draft paper submission—of either type (extended abstract
or full paper) and
any category—can be considered a student paper. A student paper is one
for which primary
authors are research students and the majority of the work described was
carried out by the
students. The submission should indicate that it is a student paper.
Student papers will receive additional feedback from the PC shortly
after the symposium has
taken place and before the post-symposium submission deadline. Feedback
is only provided for
accepted student papers, i.e., papers submitted for presentation and
post-symposium formal
review that are accepted for presentation. If a student paper is
rejected for presentation,
then it receives no further feedback and cannot be submitted for
post-symposium review.
== Format ==
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/lncs).

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 at scope).
Please be aware that TFP uses two distinct rounds of submissions (see
below at submission details).
TFP 2019 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming
events. TFP 2019 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on
Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take
place on June 11.
== 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 2019 program chairs, William J. Bowman and Ron
Garcia.
== 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.
== Instructions to Author ==
Papers must be submitted at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2019
Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally
reviewed either before or after the Symposium.
== Pre-symposium formal review ==
Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted
before an early deadline and receive their reviews and notification of
acceptance for both presentation and publication before the symposium. A
paper that has been rejected in this process may still be accepted for
presentation at the symposium, but will not be considered for the
post-symposium formal review.
== Post-symposium formal review ==
Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance
for presentation at the symposium. 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.
== Paper categories ==
Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted as
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.
== Format ==
Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For
more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS web site.
