[Haskell] IAG is hiring Haskell programmers
We are looking for two Haskell programmers to join the existing team of two at IAG, Australia's largest insurance group. The positions are within a newly-formed engineering group within the Information Analytics department. We are currently working on some very cool algorithmic projects, and are looking for people who can demonstrate ability to work with complex data structures and algorithms (both design and implementation.) You should also have a good working knowledge of Haskell (since this is our language of choice for all development), but we also value breadth of experience with a variety of technologies (since we don’t work in a vacuum.) Most importantly, however, we are looking for people who are passionate about programming, have a github account to prove it, and who prefer to seek out challenging problems rather than tick off requirement lists. The positions are located in Sydney, Australia, so, to apply, you must have the right to work in Australia. Unfortunately, at this stage IAG is unable offer visa sponsorship, but, for the right candidate, we may be able to help with relocation costs. We are looking to hire immediately, so if this sounds like you, please sent your CV to me by reply email. -- Patryk Zadarnowski ___ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell

SPONSORS Altran D-RisQ Software Systems Formal Methods Europe (FME) The Scottish Informatics Computer Science Alliance (SICSA) BACKGROUND The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2015 is to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members of the international research community on tools and techniques for the verification of critical systems. SCOPE We encourage the submissions of research ideas in order to stimulate discussions at the workshop. Reports on ongoing work or surveys on work published elsewhere are welcome. The Programme Committee will select research ideas on the basis of submitted abstracts according to significance and general interest. The subject of the ideas is to be interpreted broadly and inclusively. It covers all aspects of automated verification, including model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT constraint solving, abstract interpretation, and refinement pertaining to various types of critical systems which need to meet stringent dependability requirements (safety-critical, business-critical, performance-critical, etc.). Contributions that describe different techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged. Topics include (but are not limited to): - Model Checking - Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving - SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification - Abstract Interpretation - Specification and Refinement - Requirements Capture and Analysis - Verification of Software and Hardware - Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience - Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems - Dependable Systems - Verified System Development - Industrial Applications IMPORTANT DATES Submission of research idea papers: 10th August 2015 Submission of student grant application: 10th August 2015 Notification (research idea): 14th August 2015 Early registration: 18th August 2015 Submissions of final versions: 21st August 2015 INVITED SPEAKERS Colin O'Halloran (D-RisQ the University of Oxford) Don Sannella (Contemplate the University of Edinburgh) WORKSHOPS AI4FM 2015: 1 September 2015 -- www.ai4fm.org/ai4fm-2015/ including invited talk by J Strother Moore (Univerity of Texas at Austin) VENUE The event will be held in the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) in the centre of the historic old town of Edinburgh - an UNESCO world heritage site. SUBMISSION DETAILS Research ideas must be written in English and not exceed 2 pages using the dedicated AVoCS 2015 EASST template available from the the following link (for LaTeX and Word): http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/public/template/ The presentation of these ideas will be organised around discussions, where the presenter should also prepare a set of question in which the audience will discuss. Submissions are handled via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=avocs2015 The research ideas will be included in the pre-proceedings, which will be available in the form of a Heriot-Watt University Technical Report and will be available at the workhsop. STUDENT GRANTS Thanks to sponsorships from Altran, FME and SICSA we can offer financial support for a limited number of students registering for AVoCS in the form of a registration fee waiver (full or partial). As this is limited, we ask the students that would like to take the advantage of this support to submit a short application. The details on how to apply is available from AVoCS webpage.

[Haskell] OCL 2015: ** Deadline Extension ** Submit Your Paper Until July 26, 2015
(Apologies for duplicates) If you are working on the foundations, methods, or tools for OCL or textual modelling, you should now finalise your submission for the OCL workshop! *** The submission deadline has been extended to July 26th, 2015! *** CALL FOR PAPERS 15th International Workshop on OCL and Textual Modeling Tools and Textual Model Transformations Co-located with ACM/IEEE 18th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2015) September 28th, 2015, Ottawa, Canada http://ocl2015.lri.fr Modeling started out with UML and its precursors as a graphical notation. Such visual representations enable direct intuitive capturing of reality, but some of their features are difficult to formalize and lack the level of precision required to create complete and unambiguous specifications. Limitations of the graphical notations encouraged the development of text-based modeling languages that either integrate with or replace graphical notations for modeling. Typical examples of such languages are OCL, textual MOF, Epsilon, and Alloy. Textual modeling languages have their roots in formal language paradigms like logic, programming and databases. The goal of this workshop is to create a forum where researchers and practitioners interested in building models using OCL or other kinds of textual languages can directly interact, report advances, share results, identify tools for language development, and discuss appropriate standards. In particular, the workshop will encourage discussions for achieving synergy from different modeling language concepts and modeling language use. The close interaction will enable researchers and practitioners to identify common interests and options for potential cooperation. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) === - Mappings between textual modeling languages and other languages/formalisms - Algorithms, evaluation strategies and optimizations in the context of textual modeling languages for -- validation, verification, and testing, -- model transformation and code generation, -- meta-modeling and DSLs, and -- query and constraint specifications - Alternative graphical/textual notations for textual modeling languages - Evolution, transformation and simplification of textual modeling expressions - Libraries, templates and patterns for textual modeling languages - Tools that support textual modeling languages (e.g., verification of OCL formulae, runtime monitoring of invariants) - Complexity results for textual modeling languages - Quality models and benchmarks for comparing and evaluating textual modeling tools and algorithms - Successful applications of textual modeling languages - Case studies on industrial applications of textual modeling languages - Experience reports -- usage of textual modeling languages and tools in complex domains, -- usability of textual modeling languages and tools for end-users - Empirical studies about the benefits and drawbacks of textual modeling languages - Innovative textual modeling tools - Comparison, evaluation and integration of modeling languages - Correlation between modeling languages and modeling tasks This year, we particularly encourage submissions describing tools that support - in a very broad sense - textual modeling languages (if you have implemented OCL.js to run OCL in a web browser, this is the right workshop to present your work) as well as textual model transformations. Venue = The workshop will be organized as a part of MODELS 2015 Conference in Ottawa, Canada. It continues the series of OCL workshops held at UML/MODELS conferences: York (2000), Toronto (2001), San Francisco (2003), Lisbon (2004), Montego Bay (2005), Genova (2006), Nashville (2007), Toulouse (2008), Denver (2009), Oslo (2010), Zurich (2011, at the TOOLs conference), 2012 in Innsbruck, 2013 in Miami, and 2014 in Valencia, Spain. Similar to its predecessors, the workshop addresses both people from academia and industry. The aim is to provide a forum for addressing integration of OCL and other textual modeling languages, as well as tools for textual modeling, and for disseminating good practice and discussing the new requirements for textual modeling. Workshop Format === The workshop will include short (about 15 min) presentations, parallel sessions of working groups, and sum-up discussions. Submissions === Three types of papers will be considered: * short papers (between 6 and 8 pages) describing ideas, * tool papers (between 6 and 8 pages), and * full papers (between 12 and 16 pages) in LNCS format. Submissions should be uploaded to EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ocl20150). The program committee will review the submissions (minimum 2 reviews per paper, usually 3 reviews) and select papers according to their relevance and
