[Haskell] CFP TFP 2009
First call for papers 10th SYMPOSIUM ON TRENDS IN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING TFP 2009 SELYE JANOS UNIVERSITY, KOMARNO, SLOVAKIA June 2-4, 2009 http://www.inf.elte.hu/tfp_cefp_2009 The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming languages, focusing on providing a broad view of current and future trends in Functional Programming. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results. Acceptance for the conference is based on full papers or extended abstracts, and a formal post-symposium refereeing process selects the best articles presented at the symposium for publication in a high-profile volume. TFP 2009 is hosted by the Selye Janos University, Komarno, Slovakia, and it is co-located with the 3rd Central-European Functional Programming School (CEFP 2009), which is held immediately before TFP 2009 (May 25-30). IMPORTANT DATES (ALL 2009) * Paper Submission: March 15 * Notification of Acceptance: April 3 * Camera Ready Symposium Proceedings Paper: April 24 * TFP Symposium: June 2-4, 2009 * Post Symposium Paper Submission: June 30 * Notification of Acceptance: September 7 * Camera Ready Revised Paper: September 21 SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM 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 High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: * Research: leading-edge, previously unpublished research. * Position: on what new trends should or should not be. * Project: descriptions of recently started new projects. * Evaluation: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project. * Overview: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject. Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience- oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Contributions on the following subject areas are particularly welcomed: * Dependently Typed Functional Programming * Validation and Verification of Functional Programs * Debugging for Functional Languages * Functional Programming and Security * Functional Programming and Mobility * Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement Systems from Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications * Functional Languages for Telecommunications Applications * Functional Languages for Embedded Systems * Functional Programming Applied to Global Computing * Functional GRIDs * Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative or Object-Oriented Settings (and the converse) * Interoperability with Imperative Programming Languages * Novel Memory Management Techniques * Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages * Program Transformation Techniques * Empirical Performance Studies * Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers for Functional 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 2009 program chairs, Zoltan Horvath and Viktoria Zsok at tfp2...@inf.elte.hu SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the screening process of full papers (15 pages) and extended abstracts (at least 3 pages). TFP encourages PhD students to submit papers. PhD students may request the program committee to provide extensive feedback on their full papers at the time of submission. Full papers describing work accepted for presentation must be completed before the symposium for publication in the draft proceedings. Further details can be found at the TFP 2009 website. POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality subset of contributions in the Intellect series on Trends in Functional Programming.

[Haskell] ANN: regex-posix-unittest-1.0 AND regex-posix-0.94.1 AND regex-tdfa-0.97.1
I have three announcements to make about regex-* related packages. The regex-posix-0.94.1 package update provides better semantics for multiple matches. Below version 0.94, if any match was empty the matching would stop. Now the empty match is returned and the position is incremented and the searching continues. The regex-tdfa-0.71.1 package update provides the same new multiple match semantics. It also fixes a bug I found. I know of no outstanding bugs in regex-tdfa, and version 0.71.1 now passes all the tests used in regex-posix-unittest-1.0 announced below. We should care about the correctness of our operating system libraries. To help with this, I have a NEW package to announce: regex-posix-unittest-1.0 The accompanying wiki page is http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Regex_Posix This new package provides an executable called regex-posix-unittest which you can install as --user or --global. The regex-posix-unittest executable with no arguments runs a suite of unit tests, all of which are described by text files in the package, the format is documented in the wiki page. By editing the text files in the package you can add to or delete from the unit tests being run. With two arguments the program expects the text first and the pattern second and will run just that match and print all the results. How does regex-posix-unittest help us care about the OS libraries? The regex-posix distributed in the GHC bundle uses the OS C library's "regex.h" API. The regex-posix-unittest package will quite likely show you that your OS C library "regex.h" API is full of bugs. If you are on Linux, it will show you a plethora of GLIBC bugs in Posix conformance. If you are on OS X, FreeBSD, or NetBSD, it will show you many bugs including a critical bug where it fail to find a match where one actually exists. These bugs in the OS library are inherited by your "sed" program as well as regex-posix and Haskell. If you are on Windows, or OpenBSD, or Solaris, or anything else, then please update the wiki page at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Regex_Posix or email me with your results so I can update the wiki. You may have evil and ingenious tests of Posix extended regular expressions to add to the test suite. Adding them is easy and if you send them to me I will put them in an updated version of regex-posix-unittest.

Submissions are invited on all topics from principles to practice, from foundations to features, 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 or concurrency. Particular topics of interest include * Language Design * Implementation * Software-Development Techniques * Foundations * Applications and Domain-Specific Languages * Functional Pearls The conference also solicits Experience Reports, which are short papers that provide evidence that functional programming really works or describe obstacles that have kept it from working in a particular application. Important Dates (at 20:00 UTC) ~~~ Submission: 2 March 2009 https://www.softconf.com/a/icfp09/ Author response: 21-23 April 2009 Notification: 5 May 2009 Final papers due: 8 June 2009 Call for Papers (full text) ~~~ http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~apt/icfp09_cfp.html Call for Experience Reports (full text) ~~~ http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~apt/icfp09_cfer.html Program Chair ~ Andrew Tolmach Department of Computer Science Portland State University P.O.
