ICFP 2016

21st ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming


   
September 18-24, 2016
   
   Nara, Japan

http://icfpconference.org/icfp2016/


The 21st ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming
will be held in Nara, Japan on September 18-24, 2016. ICFP provides a
forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the
design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming.

Proposals are invited for workshops (and other co-located events, such
as tutorials) to be affiliated with ICFP 2016 and sponsored by
SIGPLAN. These events should be less formal and more focused than ICFP
itself, include sessions that enable interaction among the attendees,
and foster the exchange of new ideas. The preference is for one-day
events, but other schedules can also be considered.

The workshops are scheduled to occur on September 18 (the day
before ICFP) and September 22-24 (the three days after ICFP).

Scope
-

ICFP 2016 seeks original papers on the art and science of functional
programming. Submissions are invited on all topics from principles to
practice, from foundations to features, and from abstraction to
application. The scope includes all languages that encourage
functional programming, including both purely applicative and
imperative languages, as well as languages with objects, concurrency,
or parallelism. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Language Design: concurrency, parallelism, and distribution;
  modules; components and composition; metaprogramming; type systems;
  interoperability; domain-specific languages; and relations to
  imperative, object-oriented, or logic programming.

- Implementation: abstract machines; virtual machines; interpretation;
  compilation; compile-time and run-time optimization; garbage
  collection and memory management; multi-threading; exploiting
  parallel hardware; interfaces to foreign functions, services,
  components, or low-level machine resources.

- Software-Development Techniques: algorithms and data structures;
  design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof
  assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling.

- Foundations: formal semantics; lambda calculus; rewriting; type
  theory; monads; continuations; control; state; effects; program
  verification; dependent types.

- Analysis and Transformation: control-flow; data-flow; abstract
  interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation.

- Applications: symbolic computing; formal-methods tools; artificial
  intelligence; systems programming; distributed-systems and web
  programming; hardware design; databases; XML processing; scientific
  and numerical computing; graphical user interfaces; multimedia and
  3D graphics programming; scripting; system administration; security.

- Education: teaching introductory programming; parallel programming;
  mathematical proof; algebra.

- Functional Pearls: elegant, instructive, and fun essays on
  functional programming.

- Experience Reports: short papers that provide evidence that
  functional programming really works or describe obstacles that have
  kept it from working.

If you are concerned about the appropriateness of some topic, do not
hesitate to contact the program chair.

Abbreviated instructions for authors


- By Wednesday, March 16 2016, 15:00 (UTC), submit a full paper of at
  most 12 pages (6 pages for an Experience Report), in standard
  SIGPLAN conference format, including figures but ***excluding
  bibliography***.

The deadlines will be strictly enforced and papers exceeding the page
limits will be summarily rejected.

***ICFP 2016 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing
process.*** To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two
rules:

 1. ***author names and institutions must be omitted***, and

 2. ***references to authors' own related work should be in the third
person*** (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but
rather "We build on the work of ...").

The purpose of this process is to help the PC and external reviewers
come to an initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make
it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to
try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally
would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the
web or give talks on their research ideas. We have put together a
document answering frequently asked questions that should address many
common concerns:

[Chicken-users] Second Call for Papers: ICFP 2017

2017-01-31 Thread Lindsey Kuper
of each
accepted Experience Report must begin with the words "Experience
Report" followed by a colon. The acceptance rate for Experience
Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for
ordinary papers.

  * Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long,
excluding bibliography.

  * Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the conference,
but depending on the number of Experience Reports and regular papers
accepted, authors of Experience reports may be asked to give shorter
talks.

  * Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our community
to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional
programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the
body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by
presenting novel results or conclusions. It is sufficient if the
Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting evidence. The
thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel.

The program committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on
whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence
will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains
what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as possible.
Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers which show
how functional programming was used than from papers which only say that
functional programming was used. The most convincing evidence often
includes comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or
discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from a single
person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given to
evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people.

An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a
claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular
project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If
functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has
worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results --- the
main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in what
context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of the
project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize the
project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to what
degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper
should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project.
Specifics about the project are more valuable than generalities about
functional programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the
team delivered its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say
that functional programming made the team more productive.

If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new
technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the
functional-programming community, it may be better off submitted it as a
full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty,
originality, and relevance. The program chair will be happy to advise on
any concerns about which category to submit to.

2017-02-15 Thread Lindsey Kuper
to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional
programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the
body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by
presenting novel results or conclusions. It is sufficient if the
Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting evidence. The
thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel.

The program committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on
whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence
will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains
what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as possible.
Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers which show
how functional programming was used than from papers which only say that
functional programming was used. The most convincing evidence often
includes comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or
discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from a single
person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given to
evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people.

An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a
claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular
project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If
functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has
worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results --- the
main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in what
context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of the
project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize the
project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to what
degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper
should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project.
Specifics about the project are more valuable than generalities about
functional programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the
team delivered its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say
that functional programming made the team more productive.

If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new
technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the
functional-programming community, it may be better off submitted it as a
full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty,
originality, and relevance. The program chair will be happy to advise on
any concerns about which category to submit to.

 such 
on the submission web page, and should contain the words "Functional Pearl" 
somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps will alert reviewers to use the 
appropriate evaluation criteria. Pearls will be combined with ordinary papers, 
however, for the purpose of computing the conference's acceptance rate.

 Experience Reports

The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of published, 
refereed, citable evidence that functional programming really works  or 
to describe what obstacles prevent it from working.

Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited to:

  * insights gained from real-world projects using functional programming

  * comparison of functional programming with conventional programming in the 
context of an industrial project or a university curriculum

  * project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when using 
functional programming in a real-world project

  * curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in education

  * real-world constraints that created special challenges for an 
implementation of a functional language or for functional programming in general

An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal PACMPL issue ICFP paper by 
its title, by its length, and by the criteria used to evaluate it.

  * Both in the proceedings and in any citations, the title of each accepted 
Experience Report must begin with the words "Experience Report" followed by a 
colon. The acceptance rate for Experience Reports will be computed and reported 
separately from the rate for ordinary papers.
  
  * Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long, excluding 
bibliography.

  * Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the conference, but 
depending on the number of Experience Reports and regular papers accepted, 
authors of Experience reports may be asked to give shorter talks.
  
  * Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our community to 
accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional programming, an 
acceptable Experience Report need not add to the body of knowledge of the 
functional-programming community by presenting novel results or conclusions. It 
is sufficient if the Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting 
evidence. The thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel.

The program committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on whether 
they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence will be acceptable 
provided it is well argued and the author explains what efforts were made to 
gather as much evidence as possible. Typically, more convincing evidence is 
obtained from papers which show how functional programming was used than from 
papers which only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing 
evidence often includes comparisons of situations before and after the 
introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from 
a single person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given 
to evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people.

An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a claim 
about how well functional programming worked on a particular project and why, 
and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If functional programming 
worked in this case in the same ways it has worked for others, the paper need 
only summarize the results  the main part of the paper should discuss 
how well it worked and in what context. Most readers will not want to know all 
the details of the project and its implementation, but the paper should 
characterize the project and its context well enough so that readers can judge 
to what degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper 
should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project. Specifics 
about the project are more valuable than generalities about functional 
programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the team delivered 
its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say that functional 
programming made the team more productive.

If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new technical 
results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the 
functional-programming community, it may be better off submitted it as a full 
paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty, originality, and 
relevance. The principal editor will be happy to advise on any concerns about 
which category to submit to.

[Chicken-users] Final Call for Papers: PACMPL issue ICFP 2018

nctional 
programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the team delivered 
its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say that functional 
programming made the team more productive.

If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new technical 
results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the 
functional-programming community, it may be better off submitted it as a full 
paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty, originality, and 
relevance. The principal editor will be happy to advise on any concerns about 
which category to submit to.

[Chicken-users] Call for Tutorial Proposals: ICFP 2018

2018-03-17 Thread Lindsey Kuper
  CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
ICFP 2018
 23rd ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming


  September 23-29, 2018  
 St. Louis, Missouri, United States
 http://conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-2018

The 23rd ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming
will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, United States on September 23-29, 2018.
ICFP provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest
work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional
programming.

Proposals are invited for tutorials to be presented during ICFP and
its co-located workshops and other events. These tutorials are the
successor to the CUFP tutorials from previous years, but we also
welcome tutorials whose primary audience is researchers rather than
practitioners. Tutorials may focus either on a concrete technology or
on a theoretical or mathematical tool. Ideally, tutorials will have a
concrete result, such as "Learn to do X with Y" rather than "Learn
language Y".

Tutorials may occur in parallel to both ICFP and its co-located
workshops, from September 23 through September 29. Additionally, ICFP
is co-located with Strange Loop this year, and this will be taken into
account when scheduling tutorials.
