TOPICS OF INTEREST
--------------------------------
Blockchains are decentralized transactional ledgers that rely on
cryptographic hash functions for guaranteeing the integrity of the
stored data. Participants on the network reach agreement on what valid
transactions are through consensus algorithms.
Blockchains may also provide support for Smart Contracts. Smart
Contracts are scripts of an ad-hoc programming language that are
stored in the Blockchain and that run on the network. They can
interact with the ledger's data and update its state. These scripts
can express the logic of possibly complex contracts between users of
the Blockchain. Thus, Smart Contracts can facilitate the economic
activity of Blockchain participants.
With the emergence and increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies such
as Bitcoin and Ethereum, it is now of utmost importance to have strong
guarantees of the behavior of Blockchain software.
These guarantees can be brought by using Formal Methods. Indeed,
Blockchain software encompasses many topics of computer science where
using Formal Methods techniques and tools are relevant: consensus
algorithms to ensure the liveness and the security of the data on the
chain, programming languages specifically designed to write Smart
Contracts, cryptographic protocols, such as zero-knowledge proofs,
used to ensure privacy, etc.
This workshop is a forum to identify theoretical and practical
approaches of formal methods for Blockchain technology. Topics
include, but are not limited to:
* Formal models of Blockchain applications or concepts
* Formal methods for consensus protocols
* Formal methods for Blockchain-specific cryptographic primitives or protocols
* Design and implementation of Smart Contract languages
* Verification of Smart Contracts

[Caml-list] IFL2021 First call for papers
================================================================================
IFL 2021
33rd Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages
venue: online
1 - 3 September 2021
https://ifl21.cs.ru.nl
================================================================================
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 2021 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.
Industrial track and topics of interest
This year's edition of IFL explicitly solicits original work concerning *applications*
of functional programming in industry and academia. These contributions will be reviewed by experts with an industrial background.
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
* testing and proofing
* virtual/abstract machine architectures
* validation, verification of functional programs
* tools and programming techniques
* applications of functional programming in the industry, including
** functional programming techniques for large applications
** successes of the application functional programming
** challenges for functional programming encountered
** any topic related to the application of functional programming that is interesting for the IFL community
Post-symposium peer-review
Following IFL tradition, IFL 2021 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 chairs 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

[Caml-list] ACM Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design - Call for Papers, Demos, and Performances
===============================================================================
7th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design
(FARM)
Call for Papers, Demos, and Performance
Virtual, 27th August 2021
Deadlines:
May 15 (Papers & Demos)
June 13 (Performances
https://functional-art.org/2021
===============================================================================
Key Dates
=========
Papers and Demos:
Paper submission deadline May 15
Author notification June 5
Camera ready June 26
Workshop August 27
Performances:
Performance submission deadline June 13
Performance notification June 26
Call for Papers
===============
After an 2020 online edition restricted to the performance session,
the ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music,
Modelling and Design (FARM) will also be held online in 2021 but open
to all tracks (paper, demo and performance). Pursuing its mission,
this 9th workshop aims to bring together people who are harnessing
functional techniques in the pursuit of creativity and artistic
expression.
FARM encourages submissions from across art, craft, and design,
including textiles, visual art, music, 3D sculpture, animation, GUIs,
video games, 3D printing and architectural models, choreography,
poetry, and even VLSI layouts, GPU configurations, or mechanical
engineering designs. Theoretical foundations, language design,
implementation issues, and applications in industry or the arts are
all within the scope of the workshop.
In addition to the main workshop, FARM hosts a traditional evening of
performances. Thus, this call encompasses both papers/demos for the
workshop (and its published proceedings) as well as performance
proposals for the evening's event. Authors are invited to make a
single submission for each. Authors may submit both a paper/demo and
performance proposal, but the submissions will be considered
independently.
Submission
==========
We welcome submissions from academic, professional, and independent
programmers and artists. Submissions are accepted via the Submission
page on Easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=farm2021
Paper proposals
===============
Paper submissions are invited in three categories:
- Original research
- Overview / state of the art
- Technology tutorial (especially tools and environments for distributed artistic workflow)
All submissions must propose an original contribution to the FARM
theme. FARM is an interdisciplinary conference, so a wide range of
approaches are encouraged. An original paper should have 5 to 12
pages, be in portable document format (PDF), and use the ACM SIGPLAN
style guides and ACM SIGPLAN template (using the SIGPLAN
sub-format). Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital
Library as part of the FARM 2021 proceedings.
Authors are encouraged to submit auxiliary material for publication
along with their paper (source code, data, videos, images, etc.);
authors retain all rights to the auxiliary material.
Demo proposals
==============
Demo proposals should describe a demonstration to be given at the FARM
workshop and its context, connecting it with the themes of FARM. A
demo could be in the form of a short (1020 minute) tutorial,
presentation of work-in-progress, an exhibition of some work, or even
a performance. Demo proposals should be in the form of an extended
abstract (500 to 2000 words). A demo proposal should be clearly marked
as such, by prepending "Demo Proposal:" to the title and proposed to
the 'paper' track. Demo proposals will be published on the FARM
website.
Performance proposals
======================
FARM seeks proposals for performances which employ functional
programming techniques, in whole or in part. We invite a diverse range
of functionally-themed submissions including music, video, dance, and
performance art. Both live performances and fixed-media submissions
are welcome. We encourage both risk-taking proposals that push forward
the state of the art and refined presentations of highly developed
practice. Performances will be held online.
Performance proposals should be emailed to
performance@functional-art.org, and must include: a description of the
performance (please be as specific as possible), an explanation of the
use of functional programming in the work, and a list of technical
requirements. All proposals should be supported by a link to an audio
or video example (YouTube, Vimeo, Bandcamp, etc.).
Important dates/deadlines
=========================
Submission Deadline: May, 15th
Author Notification: June, 5th
Performance Submission Deadlione: June 13th
Camera Ready: June 26th
Performance Notification: June 26
Workshop: August 27th
Authors take note
=================
For original papers and demos, the official publication date is the
date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital
Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of
the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for
any patent filings related to published work.
All presentations at FARM 2021 will be recorded. Permission to publish
the resulting video (in all probability on YouTube, along with the
videos of ICFP itself and the other ICFP-colocated events) will be
requested on-site.
Finances
========
If you would have financial difficulty attending, you can apply for
conference "PAC" funds. Please get in touch for more information.
