======== TFP 2017 ===========
18th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
19-21 June, 2017
University of Kent, Canterbury
https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/events/tfp17/index.html
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). 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.
TFP 2017 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming
events. TFP 2017 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on
Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take
place on 22 June.
The TFP symposium is the heir of the successful series of Scottish
Functional Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in
* Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2003;
* Munich (Germany) in 2004;
* Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005;
* Nottingham (UK) in 2006;
* New York (USA) in 2007;
* Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008;
* Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009;
* Oklahoma (USA) in 2010;
* Madrid (Spain) in 2011;
* St. Andrews (UK) in 2012;
* Provo (Utah, USA) in 2013;
* Soesterberg (The Netherlands) in 2014;
* Inria Sophia-Antipolis (France) in 2015;
* and Maryland (USA) in 2016.
For further general information about TFP please see the TFP homepage.
(http://www.tifp.org/).
== 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Research Articles: leading-edge, previously unpublished research work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 2017 program chairs, Scott Owens and Meng Wang.
== 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.
== PAPER SUBMISSIONS ==
Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a
lightweight peer review process of 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.
We use EasyChair for the refereeing process. Papers must be submitted at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp17
Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS
style. For more information about formatting please consult the
Springer LNCS web site:

23-24 September 2017, Brasília, Brazil
Satellite event of TABLEAUX, FroCoS, and ITP 2017
http://lsfa2017.cic.unb.br/
Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent logics, languages and systems. These frameworks provide foundations for the formal specification of systems and programming languages, supporting tool development and reasoning.
LSFA 2017 aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing work in progress, and therefore to provide feedback to authors on their preliminary research. The proceedings are produced after the meeting, so that authors can incorporate this feedback in the published papers.
LSFA 2017 will be a satellite event of TABLEAUX, FroCoS, and ITP -- to be held in Brasília, Brazil, between 25 and 29 September 2017.
Previous editions took place in Porto (2016), Natal (2015), Brasília (2014), Sao Paulo (2013), Rio de Janeiro (2012), Belo Horizonte (2011), Natal (2010), Brasília (2009), Salvador (2008), Ouro Preto (2007), and Natal (2006).

[Caml-list] Call for Papers: HVCS'17 - 4th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis
Call for Papers
4th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS)
Affiliated with CADE 2017
August 7, 2017 - Gothenburg, Sweden
http://software.imdea.org/Conferences/hcvs17
Invited speakers:
- Christoph Weidenbach, Max-Planck-Institut fuer Informatik
- Arie Gurfinkel, University of Waterloo
Submission deadlines:
- Paper submission: June 11, 2017
- Paper notification: July 3, 2017
- Workshop: August 7, 2017
Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be
modeled directly using Horn clauses, and many recent advances in the
CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving
problems presented as Horn clauses.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the
communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP),
Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated
Deduction (e.g., CADE), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis,
verification and synthesis.
Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by
these communities at different times and from different perspectives,
and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful
exchange and integration of experiences.
The workshop follows three previous meetings: HCVS 2016 in Eindhoven,
The Netherlands (w/ETAPS), HCVS 2015 in San Francisco, CA, USA
(w/CAV), and HCVS 2014 in Vienna, Austria (w/VSL).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn
clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas:
- Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds
(e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order,
concurrent)
- Program synthesis
- Program testing
- Program transformation
- Constraint solving
- Type systems
- Case studies and tools
- Challenging problems
We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of
Horn-clause based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit
extended abstracts describing work-in-progress, as well as
presentations covering previously published results that are of
interest to the workshop.
Program Committee:
- Nikolaj Bjorner (Microsoft Research)
- Mats Carlsson (SICS)
- Grigory Fedyukovich (University of Washington)
- Fabio Fioravanti (University of Chieti-Pescara)
- John Gallagher (Roskilde University)
- Pierre Ganty (IMDEA Software Institute)
- Alberto Griggio (Fondazione Bruno Kessler - chair)
- Gopal Gupta (U.T. Dallas)
- Manuel V. Hermenegildo (T.U. Madrid and IMDEA Software Institute - chair)
- Michael Leuschel (University of D�sseldorf)
- Pedro Lopez-Garcia (CSIC)
- David Monniaux (University of Grenoble)
- Jorge A. Navas (SRI International)
- Maurizio Proietti (IASI-CNR)
- Philipp Ruemmer (Uppsala University)
- Andrey Rybalchenko (Microsoft Research)
- Valerio Senni (ALES - UTRC)
Submission has to be done in one of the following formats:
- Regular papers (up to 12 pages plus bibliography, typeset in EPTCS
format), which should present previously unpublished work (completed
or in progress), including descriptions of research, tools, and
applications.
- Extended abstracts (up to 3 pages in EPTCS format), which describe
work in progress or aim to initiate discussions.
- Presentation-only papers, i.e., papers already submitted or
presented at a conference or another workshop. Such papers can be
submitted in any format, and will not be included in the workshop
post-proceedings.
All submitted papers will be refereed by the program committee and
will be selected for inclusion in accordance with the referee
reports. Accepted regular papers and extended abstracts will be
published electronically as a volume in the Electronic Proceedings in
Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series, see http://www.eptcs.org/
Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one of
them will be present at the workshop. Papers must be submitted through
the EasyChair system using the web page:

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.
== PAPER SUBMISSIONS ==
Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a
lightweight peer review process of 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.
We use EasyChair for the refereeing process. Papers must be submitted at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp17
Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS
style. For more information about formatting please consult the
Springer LNCS web site:
