Dear all,
This is just a reminder about FARM 2014: Workshop on Functional Art,
Music, Modeling and Design, co-located with ICFP in Gothenburg in
September.
http://functional-art.org/2014/
The abstract deadline (for full papers) is fast approaching (7 May),
and the overall deadline for full papers and demos is not far behind
(11 May).
Call for papers enclosed.
Apologies for cross-postings.
All the best,
/Henrik

FARM 2014
2nd ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design
Gothenburg, Sweden; 6 September, 2014
The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art,
Music, Modelling and Design (FARM) gathers together people
who are harnessing functional techniques in the pursuit of
creativity and expression.
Functional Programming has emerged as a mainstream software
development paradigm, and its artistic and creative use is
booming. A growing number of software toolkits, frameworks
and environments for art, music and design now employ
functional programming languages and techniques. FARM is a
forum for exploration and critical evaluation of these
developments, for example to consider potential benefits of
greater consistency, tersity, and closer mapping to a
problem domain.
FARM encourages submissions from across art, craft and
design, including textiles, visual art, music, 3D sculpture,
animation, GUIs, video games, 3D printing and architectural
models, choreography, poetry, and even VLSI layouts, GPU
configurations, or mechanical engineering designs. The
language used need not be purely functional (“mostly
functional” is fine), 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
