Ok thanks for the heads up! We get a new developer at work next week
who needs to read through some of our Haskell code. It really helps to
have Hoogle around for this type of thing. I'll tell him to install
one locally. (Of course there's also Hayoo which is great also)

[Haskell] PhD and Postdoc Positions in Language-based Security at Chalmers

2010-11-25 Thread Andrei Sabelfeld

*PhD* and *Postdoc* Positions in Programming Language-based Security
Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, Chalmers University of 
Technology, Sweden


Application deadline: January 12, 2011


*Job description*

The PhD students and postdocs will join a world-leading team of
researchers on programming language-based security. Language-based
security facilitates specifying and enforcing security policies at the
level of programming languages early in the software design and
construction phase. The focus of the advertised positions is on the
following directions of work:

- To design rich security policies for confidentiality and integrity,
as demanded by practical applications (such as web applications).

- To develop practical enforcement mechanisms for these policies in
expressive programming languages (such as web languages). These
enforcement mechanisms may combine static (for example, type
system-based) and dynamic (for example, execution monitoring-based)
techniques.

- To support the above with case studies in web-application security.

In pursuing these goals, there are possibilities for collaboration
with our high-profile academic and industrial partners.


*Details about Employment*

PhD student positions are limited to five years and will then normally
include 20 per cent departmental work, mostly teaching duties. Salary
for the position is as specified in Chalmers' general agreement for
PhD student positions. Currently the starting salary is around
25,000SEK a month before tax. The positions are intended to start in
spring or fall 2011.

Postdoc positions are typically for one year with possibility for
extension with one year (two years in total is the typical
duration). As a Chalmers employee, the monthly salary will be set
according to current salary agreements (currently around 33,000SEK
before tax). The starting date is negotiable.


*Suitable Background*

Applicants for a PhD position must have a degree in Computing Science or
in a related subject with a strong Computing Science component. They
must also have a strong, documented interest in doing research. The
ideal candidate for the project will have strong background in both
programming languages and security. You may even apply if you have not
yet completed your degree, but expect to do so before the position starts.

Applicants for a Postdoc position should have a recent PhD degree in
Computing Science. They must have a well-documented research track
record. Expertise in either programming languages or security and
interest to both areas is a prerequisite. You may even apply if you have
not yet completed your PhD degree, but expect to do so before the
position starts.


*The Department*

The department provides a strong, international, and dynamic research
environment with about 75 faculty and 75 PhD students. For more
information, see http://www.chalmers.se/cse/EN/ .

Knowledge of Swedish is not a prerequisite for application. English is
our working language for research. Both Swedish and English are used
in undergraduate courses. Half of our researchers and PhD students are
native Swedes. The rest come from more than 30 different countries.

[Haskell] Tracking custom dependencies with Cabal

2010-11-25 Thread kyra

My project contains some template-haskell generated C code.

I maintain both make- and cabal-based build systems for this project.

While tracking such a dependency in a make-based setting is pretty much 
trivial, I'm not aware of any "natural" Cabal facilities to accomplish 
this and now I'm using an ugly hack with compile time updated 
"extra-library". Am I missing something? How would you solve this problem?


Cheers,
Kyra

The wiki content will be wiped and re-copied from the old
www.haskell.org during the move. I was meaning to ask about other
webpages on the machine, and other services it provides.

The mailing lists will also be moved on the day.

None.

Community's move is independent, but I can't see it happening before
haskell.org moves.

Not as far as I know.

No, it's just a spambot:

I hope we have something in mind to prevent these, if one found us
before we've even released :)

oops.

Just visited, and even the home page had borked layout
and an "under costruction" heading that probably doesn't
belong there (linking to a co.cc site).

I thought new-www was an experimental (mostly static) 
preview, copied long ago. Has it now been updated? Can 
users log in to both wikis? Has new-ww been checked for 
intrusions, given the long preview time? How are the two 
wikis kept in synch? 

Could you please give a few more details about the migration 
schedule and tooling (eg, what automated testing/diffing is in 
place? how does it fit in with the other server move schedules?)?

Is there a central page linking to all migration schedules?

Not that I'm not looking forward to a more stable haskell.org
experience - I'm just a bit surprised about the sudden move,
and I doubt our chances to verify the move without tool
support (some spider that separates content from layout
before applying diff? followed by crowd-sourced manual
checking with tool support for marking suspicious and
checked pages, perhaps?).

[Haskell] Call for Papers: PAPP 2011

2010-11-25 Thread Frédéric Loulergue

Eighth International Workshop on
Practical Aspects of High-Level Parallel Programming (PAPP 2011)

part of The International Conference on Computational Science
June 1-3, 2011, Tsukuba, Japan

http://www.papp-workshop.org

AIMS AND SCOPE

Computational Science applications are more and more complex to
develop and require more and more computing power. Sequential
computing cannot go further. Major companies in the computing industry
now recognise the urgency of re-orienting an entire industry towards
massively parallel computing.

Parallel and grid computing are solutions to the increasing need for
computing power. The trend is towards the increase of cores in
processors, the number of processors and the need for scalable
computing everywhere. But parallel and distributed programming is
still dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message
passing. Thus high-level approaches should play a key role in the
shift to scalable computing in every computer.

Algorithmic skeletons, parallel extensions of functional languages
such as Haskell and ML, parallel logic and constraint programming,
parallel execution of declarative programs such as SQL queries,
genericity and meta-programming in object-oriented languages,
etc. have produced methods and tools that improve the
price/performance ratio of parallel software, and broaden the range of
target applications. Also, high level languages offer a high degree of
abstraction which ease the development of complex systems. Moreover,
being based on formal semantics, it is possible to certify the
correctness of critical parts of the applications.

The PAPP workshop focuses on practical aspects of high-level parallel
programming: design, implementation and optimisation of high-level
programming languages, semantics of parallel languages, formal
verification, design or certification of libraries, middle-wares and
tools (performance predictors working on high-level parallel/grid
source code, visualisations of abstract behaviour, automatic hot-spot
detectors, high-level GRID resource managers, compilers, automatic
generators, etc.), application of proof assistants to parallel
applications, applications in all fields of computational science,
benchmarks and experiments. Research on high-level grid programming is
particularly relevant as well as domain specific parallel software.

The aim of all these languages and tools is to improve and ease the
development of applications (safety, expressivity, efficiency,
etc.). Thus the PAPP workshop focuses on applications.

The PAPP workshop is aimed both at researchers involved in the
development of high level approaches for parallel and grid computing
and computational science researchers who are potential users of these
languages and tools.  Topics

We welcome submission of original, unpublished papers in English on
topics including:

* applications in all fields of high-performance computing
  and visualisation (using high-level tools)
* high-level models (CGM, BSP, MPM, LogP, etc.) and tools for
  parallel and grid computing
* high-level parallel language design, implementation and optimisation
* practical aspects of computer assisted verification for
  high-level parallel languages
* modular, object-oriented, functional, logic, constraint
  programming for parallel, distributed and grid computing systems
* algorithmic skeletons, patterns and high-level parallel libraries
* generative (e.g. template-based) programming with algorithmic skeletons,
  patterns and high-level parallel libraries
* benchmarks and experiments using such languages and tools

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
