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

-----------------------------------
   TFPIE 2021 2nd Call for papers
-----------------------------------
https://wiki.tfpie.science.ru.nl/TFPIE2021#TFPIE_2021
(February 16 2021, co-organized with TFP 2021 and Lambda Days 2021)

Because of the covid pandemic, the events are online this year.

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 for
publication
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] [TFP'21] second call for papers: Trends in Functional Programming 2021, 18-19 February (online event with Lambda Days 2021 & TFPIE 2021)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     Second call for papers
        22nd Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
                          tfp2021.org
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you miss the deadline to submit a paper to Trends in Functional
Programming
http://tfp2021.org/? No worries -- it's not too late!
Submission is open until January 15th 2021, for a presentation slot at
the event
and post-symposium reviewing.

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.

* TFP offers a supportive reviewing process designed to help less
experienced
  authors succeed, with two rounds of review, both before and after the
  symposium itself. Authors have an opportunity to address reviewers'
concerns
  before final decisions on publication in the proceedings.

* TFP offers two "best paper" awards, the John McCarthy award for best
paper,
  and the David Turner award for best student paper.

* TFP is co-located with Lambda Days in beautiful Krakow. Lambda Days is
a vibrant
  developer conference with hundreds of attendees and a lively
programme of talks on
  functional programming in practice. Due to the covid pandemic, the
event is online
  with a lot of attention to interaction and getting to socialize with
the community.
