4th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and
Design
Co-located with ICFP
Nara, Japan, 24 September, 2016
Call for Papers and Demos
The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and
Design (FARM) gathers together people who are harnessing functional techniques
in the pursuit of creativity and expression.
Functional Programming has emerged as a mainstream software development
paradigm, and its artistic and creative use is booming. A growing number of
software toolkits, frameworks and environments for art, music and design now
employ functional programming languages and techniques. FARM is a forum for
exploration and critical evaluation of these developments, for example to
consider potential benefits of greater consistency, tersity, and closer mapping
to a problem domain.
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. The language used need not be
purely functional ("mostly functional" is fine), and may be manifested as a
domain specific language or tool. Moreover, submissions focusing on questions
or issues about the use of functional programming are within the scope.
We welcome submissions from academic, professional, and independent programmers
and artists.
Submissions are invited in three categories:
1) Original papers
We solicit original papers in the following categories:
* original research
* overview / state of the art
* technology tutorial
All submissions must propose an original contribution to the FARM theme. FARM
2016 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), using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines and use the ACM
SIGPLAN template (http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/). Accepted papers
will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the FARM 2016
proceedings. See http://authors.acm.org/main.cfm for information on the options
available to authors. 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.
2) 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 (10-20 minute) tutorial, presentation of work-in-progress, an
exhibition of some work, or even a performance. Demo proposals should be in
plain text, HTML or Markdown format, and not exceed 2000 words. A demo proposal
should be clearly marked as such, by prepending `Demo Proposal:` to the title.
Demo proposals will be published on the FARM website. A summary of the demo
performances will also be published as part of the conference proceedings, to
be prepared by the program chair.
3) Calls for collaboration
Calls for collaboration should describe a need for technology or expertise
related to the FARM theme. Examples may include but are not restricted to:
* art projects in need of realization
* existing software or hardware that may benefit from functional programming
* unfinished projects in need of inspiration
Calls for collaboration should be in plain text, HTML or Markdown format, and
not exceed 5000 words. A call for collaboration should be clearly marked as
such, by prepending `Call for Collaboration:` to the title. Calls for
collaboration will be published on the FARM website.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: 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 your conference. The official publication date
affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
If you have any questions about what type of contributions that might be
suitable, or anything else regarding submission or the workshop itself, please
contact the organizers at: farm-2...@functional-art.org
All presentations at FARM 2016 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.
Key Dates:
Submission deadline - June 24
Author Notification - 15 July
Camera Ready - 31 July
Workshop - September 24, 2016
