Dear all,
If you are using Haskell or any mostly functional language in any
kind of musical, artistic, or design endeavour, please consider
contributing to FARM 2014, the 2nd ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop
of Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design, co-located with ICFP
2014.
Call-for-papers enclosed.
Best regards,
/Henrik

FARM 2014
2nd ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design
Gothenburg, Sweden; 6 September, 2014
The functional programming community is largely interested
in writing beautiful programs. The ACM SIGPLAN International
Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design
(FARM) is intended to gather researchers and practitioners
interested in writing beautiful programs which generate
beautiful artifacts or experiences, or perhaps even
challenge notions of beauty. FARM encourages submissions
from across art, craft and design, including textiles,
visual art, music, 3D sculpture, animation, GUIs, video
games, physical models, architectural models, choreographies
for dance, poetry, and even VLSI layouts, GPU
configurations, or mechanical engineering designs. The
language used need not be purely functional ("mostly
functional" is fine); may be based on abstractions such as
higher-order functions, monads, arrows, or streams; and may
be manifested as a domain specific language or tool.
Theoretical foundations, language design, implementation
issues, and applications in industry or the arts are all
within the scope of the workshop.
Submissions are invited in two categories:
* Full papers
5 to 12 pages using the ACM SIGPLAN template. FARM 2014
is an interdisciplinary conference, so a wide range of
approaches are encouraged and we recognize that the
appropriate length of a paper may vary considerably
depending on the approach. However, all submissions must
propose an original contribution to the FARM theme, cite
relevant previous work, and apply appropriate research
methods.
* Demo abstracts
Demo abstracts should describe the demonstration 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. Abstracts should be no
longer than 2 pages, using the ACM SIGPLAN template and
will be subject to a light-touch peer review.
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
organisers at:
workshop2...@functional-art.org
KEY DATES:
Abstract (for Full Papers) submission deadline: 7 May
Full Paper and Demo Abstract submission Deadline: 11 May
Author Notification: 30 May
Camera Ready: 18 June
Workshop: 6 September
SUBMISSION
All papers and demo abstracts must be in portable document
format (PDF), using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. The
text should be in a 9-point font in two columns. The
submission itself will be via EasyChair. See the FARM
website for further details:
http://functional-art.org
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be included in the formal proceedings
published by ACM Press and will also be made available
through the the ACM Digital Library; 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.
