[Caml-list] FHPC 2013: Call for papers

=====================================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS

FHPC 2013

The 2nd ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on
Functional High-Performance Computing

Boston, Massachusets
September 23, 2013

http://www.hiperfit.dk/fhpc13.html

Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming
(ICFP 2013)

Submission Deadline: June 14, 2013 (anywhere on earth)
=====================================================================

The FHPC workshop aims at bringing together researchers exploring uses
of functional (or more generally, declarative or high-level) programming
technology in application domains where large-scale computations arise
naturally and high performance is essential. Such computations would
typically -- but not necessarily -- involve execution on highly parallel
systems ranging from multi-core multi-processor systems to graphics
accelerators (GPGPUs), reconfigurable hardware (FPGAs), large-scale
compute clusters or any combination thereof. It is becoming apparent
that radically new and well founded methodologies for programming such
systems are required to address their inherent complexity and to
reconcile execution performance with programming productivity.

The aim of the meeting is to enable sharing of results, experiences,
and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative specifications of
computationally challenging problems can serve as highly transparent,
maintainable, and portable code that approaches (or even exceeds) the
performance of machine-oriented imperative implementations.

Each FHPC workshop proposes a particular theme for applications where
high-performance computing and/or functional programming technology
can be applied. For FHPC 2013, the theme is "Large-Scale Simulation",
traditionally one of the main driving forces behind supercomputing.
A large fraction of compute cycles in supercomputers worldwide is spent
on simulation tasks, for various engineering tasks, drug design and
other medical simulations, and in different natural science domains.
Declarative languages have potential to radically change development
practice and workflow for simulation software in these areas.
Hence, we particularly encourage submission of application-oriented
contributions in the area of simulation.
As a general rule, while proposing the theme, the workshop welcomes
submissions from all relevant application domains as well as those
describing general work on the theory and practice of declarative
high-performance computing.

Proceedings:
============

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the
ACM Digital Library.

* Submission Deadline: 14 June 2013 (anywhere on earth)
* Author Notification: 11 July 2013

[Caml-list] LPAR-19 CFP and Workshops

===========================
LPAR-19
1st CALL FOR PAPERS
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
===========================

============================================================
The 19th International Conference on
Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning
============================================================

Stellenbosch, South Africa, 14-19 December 2013
www.LPAR-19.info

This is the first call for papers for LPAR-19 and a call for workshop
proposals. Information about workshop proposals is included at the end
of this call.

The series of International Conferences on Logic for Programming, Artificial
Intelligence and Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where, year after year, some of
the most renowned researchers in the areas of logic, automated reasoning,
computational logic, programming languages and their applications come to
present cutting-edge results, to discuss advances in these fields, and to
exchange ideas in a scientifically emerging part of the world. The 19th LPAR
will be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in nearly all areas in Computer
Science. It runs a multifaceted gamut from the foundational to the applied.
At one extreme, it underlies computability and complexity theory and the formal
semantics of programming languages. At the other extreme, it drives billions of
gates every day in the digital circuits of processors of all kinds. Logic is in
itself a powerful programming paradigm, but it is also the quintessential
specification language for anything ranging from real-time critical systems to
networked infrastructures. Logical techniques link implementation and
specification through formal methods such as automated theorem proving and model
checking. Logic is also the stuff of knowledge representation and artificial
intelligence. Because of its ubiquity, logic has acquired a central role in
Computer Science education.

Topics
------
New results in the fields of computational logic and applications are welcome.
Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open
questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Abduction and interpolation methods
* Automated reasoning
* Constraint programming
* Decision procedures
* Description logics
* Foundations of security
* Hardware verification
* Implementations of logic
* Interactive theorem proving
* Knowledge representation and reasoning

[Caml-list] Haskell 2013 call for submissions

===================================================================
ACM SIGPLAN
HASKELL SYMPOSIUM 2013
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Boston, MA, USA, 23-24 September 2013, directly before ICFP
http://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2013/
haskell2013@easychair.org
===================================================================


The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2013 will be colocated with the 2013
International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP) in Boston, MA,
USA. This year, the symposium will last 2 days rather than 1 as in the
past. Thanks to broader participation from a growing community, we will
be able to include more regular papers as well as system demonstrations
and a new category of panel discussions, while upholding the scientific
quality of the symposium.

The Haskell Symposium seeks to present original research on Haskell, to
discuss practical experience and future development of the language, as
well as to promote other forms of denotative programming. Topics of
interest include

* Language Design, with a focus on possible extensions and
modifications of Haskell as well as critical discussions of the
status quo;

* Theory, such as formal semantics of the present language or
future extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and
foundations for program analysis and transformation;

* Implementations, including program analysis and transformation,
static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and
distributed architectures, memory management, as well as foreign
function and component interfaces;

* Tools, such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors, and
testing tools;

* Applications, to scientific and symbolic computing, databases,
multimedia, telecommunication, the web, and so forth;

* Functional Pearls, being elegant and instructive programming
examples;

* Experience Reports, to document general practice and experience
in education, industry, or other contexts.

Papers in the latter three categories need not necessarily report
original research results. They may report instead, for example,
reusable programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem,
or practical experience that will be useful to other users,
implementors, or researchers. (Links with more advice appear
on the symposium web page.) The key criterion for such a paper
is that it makes a contribution from which other Haskellers can
benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a program!

Regular papers should explain their research contributions in
both general and technical terms, identifying what has been
accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to
previous work (also for other languages where appropriate).

In addition, we solicit proposals for

* System Demonstrations (no longer than a regular paper talk),
based on running (perhaps prototype) software rather than
necessarily on novel research results.

* Panel Discussions (no shorter than a regular paper talk),
submitted by a moderator who proposes to bring together specific
panelists who have agreed to address a specific pressing issue
in the Haskell community. Panels will subsume past "Future of
Haskell" discussions.

These proposals should summarize the system capabilities that would
be demonstrated or the panelist positions that would be discussed.
The proposals should explain (and will be judged on) whether the
ensuing session is likely to be important and interesting to
the Haskell community at large, whether on grounds academic or
industrial, theoretical or practical, technical or social. Please
contact the program chair with any questions about the relevance of
a proposal.


Travel Support:
===============

Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN
PAC grant to help cover travel expenses. PAC also offers other
support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or

Proceedings:
============

There will be formal proceedings published by ACM Press. Accepted
papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors
must transfer copyright to ACM upon acceptance (for government
work, to the extent transferable), but retain various rights
(http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright_policy).
Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their
paper (source code, test data, etc.); they retain copyright of
auxiliary material.

Accepted demo and panel proposals will be posted on the symposium
web page, but not formally published in the proceedings.


Submission Details:
===================

* Abstract submission: Wed 12th June 2013, anywhere on earth
* Paper submission : Fri 14th June 2013, anywhere on earth
* Demo submission : Fri 14th June 2013, anywhere on earth
(prior abstract submission unnecessary)
* Panel submission : Fri 28th June 2013, anywhere on earth
(prior abstract submission unnecessary)
* Author notification: Thu 11th July 2013
* Final papers due : Thu 25th July 2013

Submitted papers should be in portable document format
(PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm). The
text should be in a 9-point font in two columns. The length is
restricted to 12 pages, except for "Experience Report" papers,
which are restricted to 6 pages. Papers need not fill the page
limit -- for example, a Functional Pearl may be much shorter
than 12 pages. Each paper submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's
republication policy, as explained on the web.

Demo and panel proposals are limited to 2-page abstracts, in the
same ACM format as papers.

"Functional Pearls", "Experience Reports", "Demo Proposals", and
"Panel Proposals" should be marked as such with those words in the
title at time of submission.

The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm.
There will be no extensions, and papers violating the length
limitations will be summarily rejected.

Submission is via EasyChair:

[Caml-list] APLAS 2013 call for papers

===============================================================
APLAS 2013
11th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems

9-11 December 2013
Melbourne, Australia (colocated with CPP 2013)

CALL FOR PAPERS
===============================================================

==========
BACKGROUND
==========

APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a
forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas
in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but is
an international forum that serves the worldwide programming language
community.

APLAS is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software
(AAFS) founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many researchers
from Europe and the USA. Past APLAS symposiums were successfully held
in Kyoto ('12), Kenting ('11), Shanghai ('10), Seoul ('09), Bangalore
('08), Singapore ('07), Sydney ('06), Tsukuba ('05), Taipei ('04) and
Beijing ('03) after three informal workshops. Proceedings of the past
symposiums were published in Springer's LNCS.

======
TOPICS
======

The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues in
programming languages and systems. Papers are solicited on topics such
as
* semantics, logics, foundational theory;
* design of languages, type systems and foundational calculi;
* domain-specific languages;
* compilers, interpreters, abstract machines;
* program derivation, synthesis and transformation;
* program analysis, verification, model-checking;
* logic, constraint, probabilistic and quantum programming;
* software security;
* concurrency and parallelism;
* tools and environments for programming and implementation.

Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums.
Papers identifying future directions of programming and those
addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms
are especially welcome. Demonstration of systems and tools in the
scope of APLAS are welcome to the System and Tool presentations
category. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic
are welcome to consult with program chair prior to submission.

==========
SUBMISSION
==========

We solicit submissions in two categories:

*Regular research papers* describing original scientific research
results, including tool development and case studies. Regular
research papers should not exceed 16 pages in the Springer LNCS
format, including bibliography and figures. They should clearly
identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant.
Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance,
correctness, originality, and clarity. In case of lack of space,
proofs, experimental results, or any information supporting the
technical results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a
link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them.

*System and Tool presentations* describing systems or tools that support
theory, program construction, reasoning, or program execution in the
scope of APLAS. System and Tool presentations are expected to be
centered around a demonstration. The paper and the demonstration
should identify the novelties of the tools and use motivating
examples. System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages in the
Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. Submissions
will be judged based on both the papers and the described systems or
tools. It is highly desirable that the tools are available on the
web.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2013

Acceptable formats are PostScript or PDF. Submitted papers must be
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must
be written in English. The proceedings will be published as a volume
in Springer's LNCS series. Accepted papers must be presented at the
conference. (While the general chair and the program chair cannot
submit papers, other members of the program committee can.)
