[Caml-list] Second call for draft papers for IFL 2020 (Implementation and Application of Functional Languages)

Hello,

Please, find below the second call for draft papers for IFL 2020.
Please forward these to anyone you think may be interested.
Apologies for any duplicates you may receive.

best regards,
Jurriaan Hage
Publicity Chair of IFL

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

                                    IFL 2020

    32nd Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages


                                  venue: online
                             2nd - 4th September 2020

                 https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/events/2020/ifl20/

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

### Scope

The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged
in the implementation and application of functional and function-based
programming languages. IFL 2020 will be a venue for researchers to present and
discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results
related to the implementation and application of functional languages and
function-based programming.

Topics of interest to IFL include, but are not limited to:

- language concepts
- type systems, type checking, type inferencing
- compilation techniques
- staged compilation
- run-time function specialisation
- run-time code generation
- partial evaluation
- (abstract) interpretation
- meta-programming
- generic programming
- automatic program generation
- array processing
- concurrent/parallel programming
- concurrent/parallel program execution
- embedded systems
- web applications
- (embedded) domain specific languages
- security
- novel memory management techniques
- run-time profiling performance measurements
- debugging and tracing
- virtual/abstract machine architectures
- validation, verification of functional programs
- tools and programming techniques
- (industrial) applications


### Post-symposium peer-review

Following IFL tradition, IFL 2020 will use a post-symposium review process to
produce the formal proceedings.

Before the symposium authors submit draft papers. These draft papers will be
screened by the program chair to make sure that they are within the scope of
IFL. The draft papers will be made available to all participants at the
symposium. Each draft paper is presented by one of the authors at the symposium.

After the symposium every presenter is invited to submit a full paper,
incorporating feedback from discussions at the symposium. Work submitted to IFL
may not be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must
adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy. The program committee will
evaluate these submissions according to their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity, and will thereby determine whether the
paper is accepted or rejected for the formal proceedings. We plan to publish
these proceedings in the International Conference Proceedings Series of the
ACM Digital Library, as in previous years.


### Important dates

Submission deadline of draft papers:           17 August 2020
Notification of acceptance for presentation:   19 August 2020
Registration deadline:                         31 August 2020
IFL Symposium:                                 2-4 September 2020
Submission of papers for proceedings:          7 December 2020
Notification of acceptance:                    3 February 2021
Camera-ready version:                          15 March 2021


### Submission details

All contributions must be written in English. Papers must use the ACM two
columns conference format, which can be found at:

              http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template


### Peter Landin Prize

The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the
symposium every year. The honoured article is selected by the program committee
based on the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize
carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros.

[Caml-list] Call for Participation: ICFP 2020

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

Call for Participation

ICFP 2020
25th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming
and affiliated events

August 23 - August 28, 2020
Online
http://icfp20.sigplan.org/

Early Registration until August 8!
The ICFP Programming Contest starts on July 17!

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

ICFP provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear
about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and
uses of functional programming. The conference covers the entire
spectrum of work, from practice to theory, including its peripheries.

This year, the conference will be a virtual event. All activities will
take place online. The ICFP Programming competition will be July 17th
through 20th, 2020!

The main conference will take place from August 24-26, 2020 during two
time bands. The first band will be 9AM-5:30PM New York, and will
include both technical and social activities. The second band will
repeat (with some variation) the technical program and social
activities 12 hours later, 9AM-5:30PM Beijing, the following day.

We're excited to announce our two invited speakers for 2020: Evan
Czaplicki, covering the Elm programming language and hard lessons
learned on driving adoption of new programming languages; and Audrey
Tang, Haskeller and Taiwan's Digital Minister, on how software
developers can contribute to fighting the pandemic.

ICFP has officially accepted 37 exciting papers, and (as a fresh
experiment this year) there will also be presentations of 8 papers
accepted recently to the Journal of Functional Programming. Co-located
symposia and workshops will take place the day before and two days
immediately after the main conference.

Registration is now open. The early registration deadline is August
8th, 2020. Registration is not free, but is significantly lower than
usual. Students who are ACM or SIGPLAN members may register for FREE
before the early deadline.

New this year: Attendees will be able to sign-up for the ICFP
Mentoring Program (either to be a mentor, receive mentorship or both).
