[TFP'21] first call for papers: Trends in Functional Programming 2021, 17-19 February (with Lambda Days 2021 & TFPIE 2021)

 First call for papers
    22nd Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
  tfp2021.org
-

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.

* TFP offers a supportive reviewing process designed to help less 
experienced

  authors succeed, with two rounds of review, both before and after the
  symposium itself. Authors have an opportunity to address reviewers' 
concerns

  before final decisions on publication in the proceedings.

* TFP offers two "best paper" awards, the John McCarthy award for best 
paper,

  and the David Turner award for best student paper.

* TFP is co-located with Lambda Days in beautiful Krakow. Lambda Days is a
  vibrant developer conference with hundreds of attendees and a lively 
programme
  of talks on functional programming in practice. Due to the covid 
pandemic,
  the event is online with a lot of attention to interaction and 
getting to

  socialize with the community.


Important Dates
---

Submission deadline for pre-symposium review: 20th November, 2020
Submission deadline for draft papers: 15th January, 2021
Symposium dates:  17-19th February, 2021

* We strongly encourage authors to submit their work for the first 
deadline.
  Authors whose papers are accepted for presentation, but not 
immediately for the
  proceedings in this first round, will have almost two months to 
address the
  reviewers' concerns. Papers submitted for the first deadline will 
also have

  priority for the presentation slots at the symposium.

[TFPIE'21] First Call For Papers: Trends in Functional Programming *in Education* 2021, 16 February (with Lambda Days 2021 & TFP 2021)

   TFPIE 2021 Call for papers

https://wiki.tfpie.science.ru.nl/TFPIE2021#TFPIE_2021
(February 16 2021, co-organized with TFP 2021 and Lambda Days 2021)

The goal of the International Workshops on Trends in Functional 
Programming in
Education is to gather researchers, professors, teachers, and all 
professionals
that use or are interested in the use of functional programming in 
education.
TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas, and 
work in
progress on the use of functional programming in education are 
discussed. The

one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review
process for publication after the workshop.

TFPIE 2021 welcomes submissions in the above mentioned areas. This year 
many
teaching programmes have had to make a rapid transition to online 
teaching, and

we explicitly solicit papers that explore this area of teaching functional
programming.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-  FP and beginning CS students
-  FP and Computational Thinking
-  FP and Artificial Intelligence
-  FP in Robotics
-  FP and Music
-  Advanced FP for undergraduates
-  FP in graduate education
-  Engaging students in research using FP
-  FP in Programming Languages
-  FP in the high school curriculum
-  FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics
-  FP and Philosophy
-  The pedagogy of teaching FP
-  FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc.
-  Best Lectures - more details below

In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. 
What's your
best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to 
present FP

concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a
difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best 
lecture topics

will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the
lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. The length of the presentation
should be comparable to that of a paper. On top of the lecture itself,
the presentation can also provide commentary on the lecture.

Submissions
Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 
pages) or a

draft paper (up to 20 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted
presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available 
on the
workshop's website. Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair 
at the

following link:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2021

After the workshop, presenters are invited to submit (a revised version of)
their article for review. The PC will select the best articles. We plan to
publish them in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer 
Science (EPTCS).
Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be 
formally

reviewed by the PC.

Dates
-  Submission deadline: January 11 2021, Anywhere on Earth.
-  Notification: January 15 2021
-  Workshop: February 16 2021

Registration
TFPIE is part of Lambda Days. Please visit the Lambda Days 2021 pages
