  COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2015: Evolving Computability
Bucharest, Romania
 June 29 - July 3

EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE
FOR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS:  MAY 3, 2015

CALL FOR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS

There is a remarkable difference in conference style between computer
science and mathematics conferences. Mathematics conferences allow
for informal presentations that are prepared very shortly before the
conference and inform the participants about current research and work
in progress. The format of computer science conferences with
pre-conference proceedings is not able to accommodate this form of
scientific communication.

Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, also this year's
CiE conference endeavours to get the best of both worlds. In addition
to the formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we
invite researchers to present informal presentations. The length of
these presentations has previously been 25 minutes and we intend to
follow this tradition.  For this, please send us a brief description
of your talk (between one paragraph and one page) by:

MAY 3, 2015

Please submit your abstract electronically, via EasyChair
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2015,

selecting the category Informal Presentation.

You will be notified whether your talk has been accepted for informal
presentation usually within a week or two after your submission.



[TYPES/announce] FLOPS 2016 Call for Papers

Call For Papers

FLOPS 2016:
 13th International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming
 March 3-6, 2016, Kochi, Japan
 http://www.info.kochi-tech.ac.jp/FLOPS2016/

Writing down detailed computational steps is not the only way of
programming. The alternative, being used increasingly in practice, is
to start by writing down the desired properties of the result. The
computational steps are then (semi-)automatically derived from these
higher-level specifications. Examples of this declarative style
include functional and logic programming, program transformation and
re-writing, and extracting programs from proofs of their correctness.

FLOPS aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and
implementors of the declarative programming, to discuss mutually
interesting results and common problems: theoretical advances, their
implementations in language systems and tools, and applications of
these systems in practice. The scope includes all aspects of the
design, semantics, theory, applications, implementations, and teaching
of declarative programming.  FLOPS specifically aims to
promote cross-fertilization between theory and practice and among
different styles of declarative programming.

Scope

FLOPS solicits original papers in all areas of the declarative
programming:
 * functional, logic, functional-logic programming, re-writing
   systems, formal methods and model checking, program transformations
   and program refinements, developing programs with the help of theorem
   provers or SAT/SMT solvers;
 * foundations, language design, implementation issues (compilation
   techniques, memory management, run-time systems), applications and
   case studies.

FLOPS promotes cross-fertilization among different styles of
declarative programming. Therefore, submissions must be written to be
understandable by the wide audience of declarative programmers and
researchers. Submission of system descriptions and declarative pearls
are especially encouraged.

Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:
 * Regular research papers: they should describe new results and will
   be judged on originality, correctness, and significance.
 * System descriptions: they should contain a link to a working
   system and will be judged on originality, usefulness, and design.
 * Declarative pearls: new and excellent declarative programs or
   theories with illustrative applications.
System descriptions and declarative pearls must be explicitly marked
as such in the title.

Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally
published workshops proceedings may be submitted. See also ACM SIGPLAN
Republication Policy.

The proceedings will be published by Springer International Publishing
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, as a printed
volume as well as online in the digital library SpringerLink. 

Post-proceedings: The authors of 4-7 best papers will be invited to
submit the extended version of their FLOPS paper to a special issue of
the journal Science of Computer Programming (SCP).


Important dates

Monday, September 14, 2015 (any time zone): Submission deadline
Monday, November 16, 2015:  Author notification
March 3-6, 2016:FLOPS Symposium
March 7-9, 2016:PPL Workshop


Submission

Submissions must be written in English and can be up to 15 pages long
including references, though pearls are typically shorter. The
formatting has to conform to Springer's guidelines.  Regular research
papers should be supported by proofs and/or experimental results. In
case of lack of space, this supporting information should be made
accessible otherwise (e.g., a link to a Web page, or an appendix).

Papers should be submitted electronically at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flops2016

   CALL FOR PAPERS

   WGP 2015

11th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming
  Vancouver, Canada
Sunday, August 30, 2015

http://www.wgp-sigplan.org/2015

  Co-located with the
International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2015)

Goals of the workshop
-

Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making
them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds
of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably
instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the
parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for
example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class
hierarchies, or even programming paradigms.

Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to
practitioners and to theoreticians, and, for at least 20 years,
generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research
in the functional and object-oriented programming communities. Generic
programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream
languages, and today is widely used in industry. This workshop brings
together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming
from around the world, and features papers capturing the state of the
art in this important area.

We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as
practical, of

* generic programming,
* programming with (C++) concepts,
* meta-programming,
* programming with type classes,
* programming with modules,
* programming with dependent types,
* type systems for generic programming,
* polytypic programming,
* adaptive object-oriented programming,
* component-based programming,
* strategic programming,
* aspect-oriented programming,
* family polymorphism,
* object-oriented generic programming,
* implementation of generic programming languages,
* static and dynamic analyses of generic programs,
* and so on.

ACM publication rights upon acceptance
(http://authors.acm.org/main.html), but may retain copyright if they
wish. Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their
paper (source code, test data, and so forth). The proceedings will be
freely available for download from the ACM Digital Library from one
week before the start of the conference until two weeks after the
conference.

Submission details
--

* Submission deadline:  Fri, 15th May 2015
* Author notification:  Fri, 26th June 2015
* Final version due:Sun, 19th July 2015
* Workshop: Sun, 30th August 2015

Submitted papers should fall into one of two categories:

* Regular research papers (12 pages)
* Short papers: case studies, tool demos, generic pearls (6 pages)

Regular research papers are expected to present novel and interesting
research results. Short papers need not present novel or fully polished
results. Good candidates for short papers are those that report on 
interesting case studies of generic programming in open source or 
industry, present demos of generic programming tools or libraries, 
or discuss elegant and illustrative uses of generic programming ('pearls').

All submissions should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted
using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (two-column, 9pt). Regular 
research papers must not exceed 12 pages. Short papers must not exceed 
6 pages. If applicable, papers should be marked with one of the labels
'case study, 'tool demo' or 'generic pearl' in the title at the time 
of submission.

Papers should be submitted via HotCRP at

https://icfp-wgp15.hotcrp.com/
