[Caml-list] [TFPIE'21] First Call For Papers: Trends in Functional Programming *in Education* 2021, 16 February (with Lambda Days 2021 & TFP 2021)

--------------------------------
   TFPIE 2021 Call for papers
--------------------------------
https://wiki.tfpie.science.ru.nl/TFPIE2021#TFPIE_2021
(February 16 2021, co-organized with TFP 2021 and Lambda Days 2021)

The goal of the International Workshops on Trends in Functional
Programming in
Education is to gather researchers, professors, teachers, and all
professionals
that use or are interested in the use of functional programming in
education.
TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas, and
work in
progress on the use of functional programming in education are
discussed. The
one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review
process for publication after the workshop.

TFPIE 2021 welcomes submissions in the above mentioned areas. This year
many
teaching programmes have had to make a rapid transition to online
teaching, and
we explicitly solicit papers that explore this area of teaching functional
programming.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-  FP and beginning CS students
-  FP and Computational Thinking
-  FP and Artificial Intelligence
-  FP in Robotics
-  FP and Music
-  Advanced FP for undergraduates
-  FP in graduate education
-  Engaging students in research using FP
-  FP in Programming Languages
-  FP in the high school curriculum
-  FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics
-  FP and Philosophy
-  The pedagogy of teaching FP
-  FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc.
-  Best Lectures - more details below

In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations.
What's your
best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to
present FP
concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a
difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best
lecture topics
will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the
lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. The length of the presentation
should be comparable to that of a paper. On top of the lecture itself,
the presentation can also provide commentary on the lecture.

Submissions
Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6
pages) or a
draft paper (up to 20 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted
presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available
on the
workshop's website. Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair
at the
following link:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2021

After the workshop, presenters are invited to submit (a revised version of)
their article for review. The PC will select the best articles. We plan to
publish them in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer
Science (EPTCS).
Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be
formally
reviewed by the PC.

Dates
-  Submission deadline: January 11 2021, Anywhere on Earth.
-  Notification: January 15 2021
-  Workshop: February 16 2021
-  Submission for formal review: April 20 2021, Anywhere on Earth.

[Caml-list] PEPM 2021 - Second Call for Papers

-- CALL FOR PAPERS --

ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on PARTIAL EVALUATION AND PROGRAM MANIPULATION (PEPM) 2021
===============================================================================

* Website : https://popl21.sigplan.org/home/pepm-2021
* Time : 18th--19th January 2021
* Place : Online (co-located with POPL 2021)

** Deadline: 8th October **

** Originally POPL 2021 was scheduled to be held in Copenhagen,
Denmark, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic POPL 2021 and
all affiliated events will now be held online. **

The ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Partial Evaluation and Program
Manipulation (PEPM), which has a history going back to 1991 and has
co-located with POPL every year since 2006, originates in the
discoveries of practically useful automated techniques for evaluating
programs with only partial input. Over the years, the scope of PEPM
has expanded to include a variety of research areas centred around the
theme of semantics-based program manipulation — the systematic
exploitation of treating programs not only as subject to black-box
execution, but also as data structures that can be generated,
analysed, and transformed while establishing or maintaining important
semantic properties.

Scope
-----

In addition to the traditional PEPM topics (see below), PEPM 2021
welcomes submissions in new domains, in particular:

* Semantics based and machine-learning based program synthesis and
program optimisation.

* Modelling, analysis, and transformation techniques for distributed
and concurrent protocols and programs, such as session types,
linear types, and contract specifications.

More generally, topics of interest for PEPM 2021 include, but are not
limited to:

* Program and model manipulation techniques such as:
supercompilation, partial evaluation, fusion, on-the-fly program
adaptation, active libraries, program inversion, slicing, symbolic
execution, refactoring, decompilation, and obfuscation.

* Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects including
metaprogramming, generative programming, embedded domain-specific
languages, program synthesis by sketching and inductive
programming, staged computation, and model-driven program
generation and transformation.

* Program analysis techniques that are used to drive program/model
manipulation such as: abstract interpretation, termination
checking, binding-time analysis, constraint solving, type systems,
automated testing and test case generation.

* Application of the above techniques including case studies of
program manipulation in real-world (industrial, open-source)
projects and software development processes, descriptions of
robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic
applications, benchmarking. Examples of application domains
include legacy program understanding and transformation, DSL
implementations, visual languages and end-user programming,
scientific computing, middleware frameworks and infrastructure
needed for distributed and web-based applications, embedded and
resource-limited computation, and security.

This list of categories is not exhaustive, and we encourage
submissions describing new theories and applications related to
semantics-based program manipulation in general. If you have a
question as to whether a potential submission is within the scope of
the workshop, please contact the programme co-chairs, Sam Lindley
<S.Lindley@hw.ac.uk> and Torben Mogensen <torbenm@di.ku.dk>.

Submission categories and guidelines
------------------------------------

Two kinds of submissions will be accepted:

* Regular Research Papers should describe new results, and will be
judged on originality, correctness, significance, and clarity.
Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages.

* Short Papers may include tool demonstrations and presentations of
exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting
academic, industrial, and open-source applications that are new or
unfamiliar. Short papers must not exceed 6 pages.

References and appendices are not included in page limits. Appendices
may not be read by reviewers. Both kinds of submissions should be
typeset using the two-column 'sigplan' sub-format of the new 'acmart'
format available at:

http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/

and submitted electronically via HotCRP:

https://pepm21.hotcrp.com/

Reviewing will be single-blind.

Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the two co-chairs).

Accepted regular research papers will appear in formal proceedings
published by ACM, and be included in the ACM Digital Library. Accepted
short papers do not constitute formal publications and will not appear
in the proceedings.

At least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the
workshop virtually to present the work. In the case of tool
demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is
expected.

Important dates
---------------

* Paper submission deadline : **Thursday 8th October 2020 (AoE)**
* Author notification : **Thursday 12th November 2020 (AoE)**
* Workshop : **Monday 18th January 2021 to

ARTIFACT EVALUATION

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit their artifacts
for the Artifact Evaluation (AE). The Artifact Evaluation process
begins after the acceptance notification, and is run by a separate
committee whose task is to assess how the artifacts support the work
described in the papers.

To ease the organization of the AE committee, we kindly ask authors to
indicate at the time they submit the paper, whether they are
interested in submitting an artifact.

Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully
will receive a seal of approval printed on the papers themselves.

Authors of accepted papers are encouraged, but not required, to make
these materials publicly available upon publication of the
proceedings, by including them as "source materials" in the ACM
Digital Library.
