[racket-users] Call for Tutorial Proposals: ICFP 2018
CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ICFP 2018 23rd ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming September 23-29, 2018 St. Louis, Missouri, United States http://conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-2018 The 23rd ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, United States on September 23-29, 2018. ICFP provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. Proposals are invited for tutorials to be presented during ICFP and its co-located workshops and other events. These tutorials are the successor to the CUFP tutorials from previous years, but we also welcome tutorials whose primary audience is researchers rather than practitioners. Tutorials may focus either on a concrete technology or on a theoretical or mathematical tool. Ideally, tutorials will have a concrete result, such as "Learn to do X with Y" rather than "Learn language Y". Tutorials may occur in parallel to both ICFP and its co-located workshops, from September 23 through September 29. Additionally, ICFP is co-located with Strange Loop this year, and this will be taken into account when scheduling tutorials. -- Submission details Deadline for submission: April 9, 2018 Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2018 Prospective organizers of tutorials are invited to submit a completed tutorial proposal form in plain text format to the ICFP 2018 workshop co-chairs (Christophe Scholliers and David Christiansen), via email to icfp-workshops-2...@googlegroups.com by April 9, 2018. Please note that this is a firm deadline. Organizers will be notified if their event proposal is accepted by April 16, 2018. The proposal form is available at: http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2018-files/icfp18-tutorials-form.txt -- Selection committee The proposals will be evaluated by a committee comprising the following members of the ICFP 2018 organizing committee.

such on the submission web page, and should contain the words "Functional Pearl" somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps will alert reviewers to use the appropriate evaluation criteria. Pearls will be combined with ordinary papers, however, for the purpose of computing the conference's acceptance rate. Experience Reports The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of published, refereed, citable evidence that functional programming really works or to describe what obstacles prevent it from working. Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited to: * insights gained from real-world projects using functional programming * comparison of functional programming with conventional programming in the context of an industrial project or a university curriculum * project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when using functional programming in a real-world project * curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in education * real-world constraints that created special challenges for an implementation of a functional language or for functional programming in general An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal PACMPL issue ICFP paper by its title, by its length, and by the criteria used to evaluate it. * Both in the proceedings and in any citations, the title of each accepted Experience Report must begin with the words "Experience Report" followed by a colon. The acceptance rate for Experience Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for ordinary papers. * Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long, excluding bibliography. * Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the conference, but depending on the number of Experience Reports and regular papers accepted, authors of Experience reports may be asked to give shorter talks. * Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our community to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by presenting novel results or conclusions. It is sufficient if the Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting evidence. The thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel. The program committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as possible. Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers which show how functional programming was used than from papers which only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing evidence often includes comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from a single person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given to evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people. An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results the main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in what context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of the project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize the project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to what degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project. Specifics about the project are more valuable than generalities about functional programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the team delivered its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say that functional programming made the team more productive. If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the functional-programming community, it may be better off submitted it as a full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty, originality, and relevance. The principal editor will be happy to advise on any concerns about which category to submit to. ### ICFP Organizers General Chair: Robby Findler (Northwestern University, USA) Artifact Evaluation Co-Chairs: Simon Marlow (Facebook, UK) Ryan R.

[racket-users] DSLDI 2017: Final Call for Talk Proposals (deadline extended)
* FINAL CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS DSLDI 2017 Fifth Workshop on Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation October 22, 2017 Vancouver, Canada Co-located with SPLASH http://2017.splashcon.org/track/dsldi-2017 https://twitter.com/wsdsldi * **Deadline for talk proposals extended to Friday, 11 August 2017** Well-designed and implemented domain-specific languages (DSLs) can achieve both usability and performance benefits over general-purpose programming languages. By raising the level of abstraction and exploiting domain knowledge, DSLs can make programming more accessible, increase programmer productivity, and support domain-specific optimizations. ## Workshop Goal Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation (DSLDI) is a workshop intended to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in discussing how DSLs should be designed, implemented, supported by tools, and applied in realistic contexts. The focus of the workshop is on all aspects of this process, from soliciting domain knowledge from experts, through the design and implementation of the language, to evaluating whether and how a DSL is successful. More generally, we are interested in continuing to build a community that can drive forward the development of modern DSLs. ## Workshop Format DSLDI is a single-day workshop and will consist of an invited speaker followed by moderated audience discussions structured around a series of short talks. The role of the talks is to facilitate interesting and substantive discussion. Therefore, we welcome and encourage talks that express strong opinions, describe open problems, propose new research directions, and report on early research in progress. Proposed talks should be on topics within DSLDI’s area of interest, which include but are not limited to: * solicitation and representation of domain knowledge * DSL design principles and processes * DSL implementation techniques and language workbenches * domain-specific optimizations * human factors of DSLs * tool support for DSL users * community and educational support for DSL users * applications of DSLs to existing and emerging domains * studies of usability, performance, or other benefits of DSLs * experience reports of DSLs deployed in practice ## Call for Talk Proposals We solicit talk proposals in the form of short abstracts (max. 2 pages). A good talk proposal describes an interesting position, open problem, demonstration, or early achievement. The submissions will be reviewed on relevance and clarity, and used to plan the mostly interactive sessions of the workshop day. Publication of accepted abstracts and slides on the website is voluntary. * Deadline for talk proposals: August 11th, 2017 * Notification: September 11th, 2017 * Workshop: October 22nd, 2017 * Submission website: https://dsldi17.hotcrp.com/ ## Workshop Organization Co-chairs: * Lindsey Kuper (lind...@composition.al), Intel Labs * Eric Walkingshaw (eric.walkings...@oregonstate.edu), Oregon State University Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/wsdsldi Program committee: * Nada Amin (EPFL/University of Cambridge) * Eric Holk (Google) * Gabriele Keller (Data61, CSIRO (formerly NICTA) and UNSW) * Rebekah Leslie-Hurd (Intel Labs) * Chris Martens (NCSU) * Lee Pike (Galois) * Jonathan Ragan-Kelley (UC Berkeley) * Jesús Sánchez Cuadrado (Autonomous University of Madrid) * Vincent St-Amour (Northwestern University) * Philip Wadler (University of Edinburgh) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

[racket-users] DSLDI 2017: Call for Talk Proposals
* FIRST CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS DSLDI 2017 Fifth Workshop on Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation October 22, 2017 Vancouver, Canada Co-located with SPLASH http://2017.splashcon.org/track/dsldi-2017 https://twitter.com/wsdsldi * Deadline for talk proposals: 7th of August, 2017 Well-designed and implemented domain-specific languages (DSLs) can achieve both usability and performance benefits over general-purpose programming languages. By raising the level of abstraction and exploiting domain knowledge, DSLs can make programming more accessible, increase programmer productivity, and support domain-specific optimizations. ## Workshop Goal Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation (DSLDI) is a workshop intended to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in discussing how DSLs should be designed, implemented, supported by tools, and applied in realistic contexts. The focus of the workshop is on all aspects of this process, from soliciting domain knowledge from experts, through the design and implementation of the language, to evaluating whether and how a DSL is successful. More generally, we are interested in continuing to build a community that can drive forward the development of modern DSLs. ## Workshop Format DSLDI is a single-day workshop and will consist of an invited speaker followed by moderated audience discussions structured around a series of short talks. The role of the talks is to facilitate interesting and substantive discussion. Therefore, we welcome and encourage talks that express strong opinions, describe open problems, propose new research directions, and report on early research in progress. Proposed talks should be on topics within DSLDI’s area of interest, which include but are not limited to: * solicitation and representation of domain knowledge * DSL design principles and processes * DSL implementation techniques and language workbenches * domain-specific optimizations * human factors of DSLs * tool support for DSL users * community and educational support for DSL users * applications of DSLs to existing and emerging domains * studies of usability, performance, or other benefits of DSLs * experience reports of DSLs deployed in practice ## Call for Talk Proposals We solicit talk proposals in the form of short abstracts (max. 2 pages).

[racket-users] Final Call for Papers: ICFP 2017
to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by presenting novel results or conclusions. It is sufficient if the Report states a clear thesis and provides supporting evidence. The thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel. The program committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as possible. Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers which show how functional programming was used than from papers which only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing evidence often includes comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence drawn from a single person's experience may be sufficient, but more weight will be given to evidence drawn from the experience of groups of people. An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make a claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results --- the main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in what context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of the project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize the project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to what degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The paper should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the project. Specifics about the project are more valuable than generalities about functional programming; for example, it is more valuable to say that the team delivered its software a month ahead of schedule than it is to say that functional programming made the team more productive. If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of the functional-programming community, it may be better off submitted it as a full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty, originality, and relevance. The program chair will be happy to advise on any concerns about which category to submit to. ### Organizers General Chair: Jeremy Gibbons (University of Oxford, UK) Program Chair: Mark Jones (Portland State University, USA) Artifact Evaluation Chair: Ryan R.

of each accepted Experience Report must begin with the words "Experience Report" followed by a colon. The acceptance rate for Experience Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for ordinary papers. * Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long, excluding bibliography. * Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the conference, but depending on the number of Experience Reports and regular papers accepted, authors of Experience reports may be asked to give shorter talks. * Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our community to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of functional programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not add to the body of knowledge of the functional-programming community by presenting novel results or conclusions.

[racket-users] ICFP 2016 Student Research Competition: Call for Submissions
== CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS SRC at ICFP 2016 Nara, Japan 18-24 September 2016 http://conf.researchr.org/info/icfp-2016/student-research-competition Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2016) == Student Research Competition This year ICFP will host a Student Research Competition where undergraduate and postgraduate students can present posters. The SRC at ICFP 2016 consists of three rounds: * Extended abstract round. All students are encouraged to submit an extended abstract of up to 800 words outlining their research. * Poster session. Based on the abstracts, a panel of judges will select the most promising entrants to participate in the poster session which will take place at ICFP. Students who make it to this round will be eligible for some travel support to attend the conference. In the poster session, students will have the opportunity to present their work to the judges, who will select three finalists in each category (graduate/undergraduate) to advance to the next round. * ICFP presentation. The last round will consist of an oral presentation at ICFP to compete for the final award. Prizes -- * The top three graduate and the top three undergraduate winners will receive prizes of $500, $300, and $200, respectively. * All six winners will receive award medals and a two-year complimentary ACM student membership, including a subscription to ACM's Digital Library. * The names of the winners will be posted on the ACM SRC web site. * The first-place winners will be invited to participate in the ACM SRC Grand Finals, an on-line round of competition among the winners of conference-hosted SRCs. * Grand Finalists and their advisors will be invited to the Annual ACM Awards Banquet for an all-expenses-paid trip, where they will be recognized for their accomplishments along with other prestigious ACM award winners, including the winner of the Turing Award (also known as the Nobel Prize of Computing). * The top three graduate Grand Finalists will receive an additional $500, $300, and $200. Likewise, the top three undergraduate Grand Finalists will receive an additional $500, $300, and $200. All six Grand Finalists will receive Grand Finalist certificates. * The ACM, Microsoft Research, and our industrial partners provide financial support for students attending the SRC. You can find more information about this on the ACM website. Eligibility --- The SRC is open to both undergraduate (not in a PhD programme) and graduate students (in a PhD programme). Upon submission, entrants must be enrolled as a student at their universities, and are ACM student members. Furthermore, there are some constraints on what kind of work may be submitted. Previously published work: Submissions should consist of original work (not yet accepted for publication). If the work is a continuation of previously published work, the submission should focus on the contribution over what has already been published. We encourage students to see this as an opportunity to get early feedback and exposure for the work they plan to submit to the next ICFP or POPL. Collaborative work: Students are encouraged to submit work they have been conducting in collaboration with others, including advisors, internship mentors, or other students. However, submissions are individual, so they must focus on the contributions of the student. Submission Details -- Each submission should include the student author's name, institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and postal address; research advisor's name; ACM student member number; category (undergraduate or graduate); research title; and an extended abstract addressing the following: * Problem and Motivation: Clearly state the problem being addressed and explain the reasons for seeking a solution to this problem. * Background and Related Work: Describe the specialized (but pertinent) background necessary to appreciate the work. Include references to the literature where appropriate, and briefly explain where your work departs from that done by others. * Approach and Uniqueness: Describe your approach in attacking the problem and clearly state how your approach is novel. * Results and Contributions: Clearly show how the results of your work contribute to computer science and explain the significance of those results. The abstract must describe the student's individual research and must be authored solely by the student. If the work is collaborative with others and/or part of a larger group project, the abstract should make clear what the student's role was and should

[racket-users] SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop @ ICFP
SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop @ ICFP Nara, Japan (co-located with ICFP 2016) Sunday, September 18th, 2016 http://conf.researchr.org/track/icfp-2016/PLMW-ICFP-2016/ We are pleased to invite students interested in functional programming research to the programming languages mentoring workshop at ICFP. The goal of this workshop is to introduce senior undergraduate and early graduate students to research topics in functional programming as well as provide career mentoring advice. We have recruited leaders from the functional programming community to provide overviews of current research topics and give students valuable advice about how to thrive in graduate school, search for a job, and cultivate habits and skills that will help them in research careers. This workshop is part of the activities surrounding ICFP, the International Conference on Functional Programming, and takes place the day before the main conference. One goal of the workshop is to make the ICFP conference more accessible to newcomers and we hope participants will stay through the entire conference. Through the generous donation of our sponsors, we are able to provide travel scholarships to fund student participation. These travel scholarships will cover reasonable travel expenses (airfare and hotel) for attendance at both the workshop and the main three days of the ICFP conference. The workshop is open to all. Students with alternative sources of funding for their travel and registration fees are welcome. In particular, many student attendance programs provide full or partial travel funding for students to attend ICFP 2016, including the ACM Student Research Competition. More information about student attendance programs at ICFP is available: http://conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-2016 Application for Travel Support: The travel funding application is available from the PLMW webpage. The deadline for full consideration of funding is July 1st, 2016. Selected participants will be notified by July 15th.
