Call for Papers
---

The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music,
Modelling and Design (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. Theoretical
foundations, language design, implementation issues, and applications
in industry or the arts are all within the scope of the workshop.

In addition to the main workshop, FARM hosts a traditional evening of
performances. Thus, this call encompasses both papers/demos for the
workshop (and its published proceedings) as well as performance
proposals for the evening's event. Authors are invited to make a
single submission for each. Authors may submit both a paper/demo and
performance proposal, but the submissions will be considered
independently.

Note on Finances


Paid registration to the FARM workshop is usually required for paper
and demo submitters, but will be waived for performers.

If you would have financial difficulty attending, you can apply for
conference “PAC” funds. Please get in touch for more information.

Papers
--

Paper submissions are invited in three categories:

- Original research
- Overview / state of the art
- Technology tutorial (especially tools and environments for distributed 
artistic workflow)

Papers must be submitted via HotCRP (https://farm22.hotcrp.com/), and
meet the following requirements:

- 5 to 12 pages
- PDF format
- Adhere to the ACM SIGPLAN template

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part
of the FARM 2022 proceedings.

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.

Demos
-

Demo submissions should describe a demonstration and its context,
connecting it with the themes of FARM. A demo could be in the form of
a short (10 to 20 minute) tutorial, a presentation of work in
progress, an exhibition of some work, or even a performance.

Demos must be submitted via HotCRP (https://farm22.hotcrp.com/), and
meet the following requirements:

- 500 to 2000 words
- Have a title starting with “Demo: ”

Accepted demos will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of
the FARM 2022 proceedings.

Performances


FARM seeks proposals for performances which employ functional
programming techniques, in whole or in part. We invite a diverse range
of functionally-themed submissions including music, video, dance, and
performance art. Both live performances and fixed-media submissions
are welcome. We encourage risk-taking proposals that push forward the
state of the art as well as refined presentations of highly developed
practice. In either case, please support your submission with a clear
description of your performance, including how your performance
employs functional programming and a discussion of influences and
prior art as appropriate.

Performance proposals should be emailed to
performa...@functional-art.org, and must include:

- A description of the performance (please be as specific as possible)
- An explanation of the use of functional programming in the work
- A list of technical requirements
- A link to an audio or video example (YouTube, Vimeo, Bandcamp, etc.)

Accepted performances will be presented at the performance evening.

[racket-users] 2nd Call for Contributions: BOB 2022 [March 11, Deadline Dec 6]

2021-11-25 Thread Michael Sperber


We'd be delighted to have some Racket material!


 BOB Conference 2022
 "What happens when we use what's best for a change?"
  https://bobkonf.de/2022/cfc.html
 Berlin, Mar 11
Call for Contributions
 Deadline: December 6, 2021


You are actively engaged in advanced software engineering methods,
solve ambitious problem with software and are open to cutting-edge
innovation? Attend this conference, meet people that share your goals,
and get to know the best software tools and technologies available
today. We strive to offer a day full of new experiences and
impressions that you can use to immediately improve your daily life as
a software developer.

If you share our vision and want to contribute, submit a proposal for
a talk or tutorial!

NOTE: The conference fee will be waived for presenters. Travel
expenses will not be covered (for exceptions see "Speaker Grants").

Online or Onsite


We expect we'll be able to hold BOB 2022 in Berlin. If that is not
possible, we'll make BOB a successful online event, like BOB
2021. Should BOB happen online, we will likely ask for pre-recorded
talks to make room for questions and social interactions during the
actual conference day. (Of course, we'll provide assistance making
those recordings.) Tutorials will likely happen as a live-session.

Shepherding
---

The program committee offers shepherding to all speakers. Shepherding
provides speakers assistance with preparing their
sessions. Specifically:

- advice on structure and presentation
- review of talk slides
- assistance with recording
- review of recording, if applicable

Speaker Grants
--

BOB has Speaker Grants available to support speakers from groups
under-represented in technology. We specifically seek women speakers,
speakers of color, and speakers who are not able to attend the
conference for financial reasons.

Topics
--

We are looking for talks about best-of-breed software technology, e.g.:

- functional programming
- persistent data structures and databases
- event-based modelling and architecture
- "fancy types" (dependent types, gradual typing, linear types, ...)
- formal methods for correctness and robustness
- abstractions for concurrency and parallelism
- metaprogramming
- probabilistic programming
- math and programming
- controlled side effects
- program synthesis
- next-generation IDEs
- effective abstractions for data analytics
- … everything really that isn’t mainstream, but you think should be.

Presenters should provide the audience with information that is
practically useful for software developers.

Challenges
--

Furthermore, we seek contributions on successful approaches for
solving hard problems, for example:

- bias in machine-learning systems
- digital transformation in difficult settings
- accessibiltity
- systems with critical reliability requirements
- ecologically sustainable software development

We're especially interested in experience reports.
Other topics are also relevant, e.g.:

- introductory talks on technical background
- overviews of a given field
- demos and how-tos

Requirements


We accept proposals for presentations of 45 minutes (40 minutes talk +
5 minutes questions), as well as 90 minute tutorials for
beginners. The language of presentation should be either English or
German.

Your proposal should include (in your presentation language of choice):

- An abstract of max. 1500 characters.
- A short bio/cv
- Contact information (including at least email address)
- A list of 3-5 concrete ideas of how your work can be applied in a developer's 
daily life
- additional material (websites, blogs, slides, videos of past presentations, …)
- Don't be confused: The system calls a submission event.

Organisation

[racket-users] Functional Art, Music, Modeling and Design (FARM 2021) Aug 27: Call for Participation

2021-08-10 Thread Michael Sperber


==
  FARM 2021

  9th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
  Functional Art, Music, Modeling and Design

  27 August, 2021, co-virtuel with ICFP 2021

   https://functional-art.org/2021/
==
   
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.

Registration


You can register via the ICFP 2021 registration:

http://icfp21.sigplan.org/attending/registration

Don't be confused that it says ~ICFP~ - FARM is part of a larger event
around ICFP 2021, and you can register for FARM without registering
for ICFP.

[racket-users] ACM Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design - Last Call for Papers, Demos, and Performances

2021-05-03 Thread Michael Sperber


Less than 2 weeks to go!

===
  7th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
 Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design
(FARM)
   Call for Papers, Demos, and Performance
   Virtual, 27th August 2021
  Deadlines:
   May 15 (Papers & Demos)
June 13 (Performances
   https://functional-art.org/2021
===

Key Dates

Papers and Demos:
Paper submission deadline   May 15
Author notification June 5
Camera readyJune 26
WorkshopAugust 27

Performances:
Performance submission deadline  June 13
Performance notification June 26

Call for Papers
===

After an 2020 online edition restricted to the performance session,
the ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music,
Modelling and Design (FARM) will also be held online in 2021 but open
to all tracks (paper, demo and performance). Pursuing its mission,
this 9th workshop aims to bring together people who are harnessing
functional techniques in the pursuit of creativity and artistic
expression.

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. Theoretical foundations, language design,
implementation issues, and applications in industry or the arts are
all within the scope of the workshop.

In addition to the main workshop, FARM hosts a traditional evening of
performances. Thus, this call encompasses both papers/demos for the
workshop (and its published proceedings) as well as performance
proposals for the evening’s event. Authors are invited to make a
single submission for each. Authors may submit both a paper/demo and
performance proposal, but the submissions will be considered
independently.

Note on Finances


Paid registration to the FARM workshop is usually required for paper
and demo submitters, but will be waived for performers.

If you would have financial difficulty attending, you can apply for
conference “PAC” funds. Please get in touch for more information.

Submission
==

We welcome submissions from academic, professional, and independent
programmers and artists. Submissions are accepted via the Submission
page on Easychair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=farm2021

Paper proposals
===

Paper submissions are invited in three categories:

- Original research
- Overview / state of the art
- Technology tutorial (especially tools and environments for distributed 
artistic workflow)

All submissions must propose an original contribution to the FARM
theme. FARM is an interdisciplinary conference, so a wide range of
approaches are encouraged. An original paper should have 5 to 12
pages, be in portable document format (PDF), and use the ACM SIGPLAN
style guides and ACM SIGPLAN template (using the SIGPLAN
sub-format). Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital
Library as part of the FARM 2021 proceedings.

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.

Demo proposals
==

Demo proposals should describe a demonstration to be given at the FARM
workshop and its context, connecting it with the themes of FARM. A
demo could be in the form of a short (1020 minute) tutorial,
presentation of work-in-progress, an exhibition of some work, or even
a performance. Demo proposals should be in the form of an extended
abstract (500 to 2000 words). A demo proposal should be clearly marked
as such, by prepending “Demo Proposal:” to the title and proposed to
the ‘paper’ track. Demo proposals will be published on the FARM
website.

Performance proposals
==

FARM seeks proposals for performances which employ functional
programming techniques, in whole or in part. We invite a diverse range
of functionally-themed submissions including music, video, dance, and
performance art. Both live performances and fixed-media submissions
are welcome. We encourage both risk-taking proposals that push forward
the state of the art and refined presentations of highly developed
practice. Performances will be held online.

Performance proposals should be emailed to
performa...@functional-art.org, and must include: a description of the
performance (please be as specific as possible), an explanation of the
use of functional programming in the work, and a list of technical
requirements. All proposals should be supported by a link to an audio
or video

2020-11-10 Thread Michael Sperber


Send us some Racket, please!

 BOB Conference 2021
 "What happens when we use what's best for a change?"
  http://bobkonf.de/2021/cfc.html
 Berlin, February 26
Call for Contributions
 Deadline: November 13, 2020

You are actively engaged in advanced software engineering methods,
implement ambitious architectures and are open to cutting-edge
innovation? Attend this conference, meet people that share your goals,
and get to know the best software tools and technologies available
today. We strive to offer a day full of new experiences and
impressions that you can use to immediately improve your daily life as
a software developer.

If you share our vision and want to contribute, submit a proposal for
a talk or tutorial!

NOTE: The conference fee will be waived for presenters. Travel
expenses will not be covered (for exceptions see "Speaker Grants").
Online or Onsite

We do know yet whether BOB will happen onsite in Berlin or as an
online event. Should BOB happen online, we will likely ask for
pre-recorded talks to make room for questions and social interactions
during the actual conference day. (Of course, we'll provide assistance
making those recordings.) Tutorials will likely happen as a
live-session.

Speaker Grants
--

BOB has Speaker Grants available to support speakers from groups
under-represented in technology. We specifically seek women speakers,
speakers of color, and speakers who are not be able to attend the
conference for financial reasons.

---

The program committee offers shepherding to all speakers. Shepherding
provides speakers assistance with preparing their
sessions. Specifically:

- advice on structure and presentation
- review of talk slides
- assistance with recording
- review of recording, if applicable

Topics
--

We are looking for talks about best-of-breed software technology,
e.g.:

- functional programming
- persistent data structures and databases
- event-based modelling and architecture
- types
- formal methods for correctness and robustness
- abstractions for concurrency and parallelism
- metaprogramming
- probabilistic programming
- math and programming
- controlled side effects
- beyond REST and SOAP
- effective abstractions for data analytics
- … everything really that isn’t mainstream, but you think should be.

Presenters should provide the audience with information that is
practically useful for software developers.

We're especially interested in experience reports.  Other topics are
also relevant, e.g.:

- introductory talks on technical background
- overviews of a given field
- demos and how-tos

Requirements


We accept proposals for presentations of 45 minutes (40 minutes talk +
5 minutes questions), as well as 90 minute tutorials for
beginners. The language of presentation should be either English or
German.

Your proposal should include (in your presentation language of choice):

- An abstract of max. 1500 characters.
- A short bio/cv
- Contact information (including at least email address)
- A list of 3-5 concrete ideas of how your work can be applied in a developer's 
daily life
- additional material (websites, blogs, slides, videos of past presentations, …)
- Don't be confused: The system calls a submission event.

We do know yet whether BOB will happen onsite in Berlin or as an
online event. Should BOB happen online, we will likely ask for
pre-recorded talks to make room for questions and social interactions
during the actual conference day. (Of course, we'll provide assistance
making those recordings.) Tutorials will likely happen as a
live-session.

Speaker Grants
--

BOB has Speaker Grants available to support speakers from groups
under-represented in technology. We specifically seek women speakers
and speakers who are not be able to attend the conference for
financial reasons.

Shepherding
---

The program committee offers shepherding to all speakers. Shepherding
provides speakers assistance with preparing their
sessions. Specifically:

- advice on structure and presentation
- review of talk slides
- assistance with recording
- review of recording, if applicable

Topics
--

We are looking for talks about best-of-breed software technology,
e.g.:

- functional programming
- persistent data structures and databases
- event-based modelling and architecture
- types
- formal methods for correctness and robustness
- abstractions for concurrency and parallelism
- metaprogramming
- probabilistic programming
- math and programming
- controlled side effects
- beyond REST and SOAP
- effective abstractions for data analytics
- … everything really that isn’t mainstream, but you think should be.

Presenters should provide the audience with information that is
practically useful for software developers.

We're especially interested in experience reports.  Other topics are
also relevant, e.g.:

- introductory talks on technical background
- overviews of a given field
- demos and how-tos

Requirements


We accept proposals for presentations of 45 minutes (40 minutes talk +
5 minutes questions), as well as 90 minute tutorials for
beginners. The language of presentation should be either English or
German.

Your proposal should include (in your presentation language of choice):

- An abstract of max. 1500 characters.
- A short bio/cv
- Contact information (including at least email address)
- A list of 3-5 concrete ideas of how your work can be applied in a developer's 
daily life
- additional material (websites, blogs, slides, videos of past presentations, …)
- Don't be confused: The system calls a submission event.

Robby's hinting at the fact that we're working on such a thing - i.e. a
tiny combinator DSL for "markup" that includes the ability to make
clickable links into source code.

I hope it matches what Sorawee has in mind.  If so, that would be an
indication we're moving in the right direction.

Technical question for Robby: How should we represent the icon?
Just a bitmap% object?

[racket-users] Summer BOB 2019 Final Call for Participation (Aug 21, Berlin)

2019-08-05 Thread Michael Sperber


... and, of course, BOB makes a *great* companion for Racketfest on Aug 17!


   Summer BOB 2019
  Conference
 “What happens if we simply use what’s best?”
   August 21, 2019, Berlin
   co-located with ICFP 2019
http://bobkonf.de/2019-summer/
 Program: http://bobkonf.de/2019-summer/program.html
Registration: http://bobkonf.de/2019-summer/registration.html


Are you interested in technologies beyond the mainstream, that are a
pleasure to use, and effective at getting the job done?

BOB is the forum for developers, architects and builders to explore
and discover the best tools available today for building software. Our
goal is for all participants to leave the conference with new ideas to
improve development back at the ranch.

Summer BOB is a one-time-only event, in the spirit of the spectacular
Winter BOB. The International Conference on Functional Programming is
coming to town, and Summer BOB will be right in the middle of it, on
the last day of ICFP proper, prior to all the workshops. BOB
participants will be able to attend ICFP talks on Aug 21 and vice
versa.

We are committed to diversity: We aim at exploring a wide range of
tools in a welcoming and friendly crowd of diverse people. To that
end, a number of support options for participants from groups
under-represented in tech are available.

Summer BOB will feature two tracks: one from practitioners, and one
from researchers, designed to cross-pollinate and inspire.

Topics include distributed programming, testing, linear algebra,
functional design patterns, type systems, formal methods, and
interactive development:

Using Formal Methods to Eliminate Exploitable Bugs
Kathleen Fisher

Purely functional distributed programming for collaborative applications
Adriaan Leijnse

Statistical testing of software
Stevan Andjelkovic

Dependent Types in Haskell
Stephanie Weirich

>From idea to working product in 7 days
Philipp Maier

In Search of Software Perfection
Xavier Leroy

Expressive Linear Algebra in Haskell
Henning Thielemann

Type-driven Development in Action
Edwin Brady

Functional Design Patterns
Franz Thoma

Liquidate your Assets

[racket-users] Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design (Sep 9, Oxford): Call for Papers and Performances

2017-05-11 Thread Michael Sperber

Racket-based submissions are very welcome at the FARM!

5th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling
and Design
Oxford, UK, September, 9th 2017

Call for Papers and Performances

Key Dates:

Paper submission deadline  June 1, 2017
Performance submission deadline   June 18, 2017
Author NotificationJuly 1, 2017
Camera Ready July 13, 2017

Call for Papers and Demos:

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.  It
is co-located with ICFP 2017, the 22nd ACM SIGPLAN International
Conference on Functional Programming.

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. Theoretical foundations, language design,
implementation issues, and applications in industry or the arts are
all within the scope of the workshop. The language used need not be
purely functional (“mostly functional” is fine), and may be manifested
as a domain specific language or tool. Moreover, submissions focusing
on questions or issues about the use of functional programming are
within the scope.

Call for Performances:

FARM also hosts a traditional evening of performances. For this year’s
event, FARM 2017 is seeking proposals for live performances which
employ functional programming techniques, in whole or in part. We
would like to support a diverse range of performing arts, including
music, dance, video animation, and performance art.

We encourage both risk-taking proposals which push forward the state
of the art and refined presentations of highly-developed practice. In
either case, please support your submission with a clear description
of your performance including how your performance employs functional
programming and a discussion of influences and prior art as
appropriate.

FARM 2017 website : http://functional-art.org/2017/

Submissions

We welcome submissions from academic, professional, and independent
programmers and artists.

Submissions are invited in three categories:

1) Original papers

We solicit original papers in the following categories:

- Original research
- Overview / state of the art
- Technology tutorial

All submissions must propose an original contribution to the FARM
theme. FARM is an interdisciplinary conference, so a wide range of
approaches are encouraged.

An original paper should have 5 to 12 pages, be in portable document
format (PDF), using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines and use the ACM
SIGPLAN template. [ http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ ]

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part
of the FARM 2017 proceedings. 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.

2) Demo proposals

Demo proposals should describe a demonstration to be given at the FARM
workshop 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. Demo proposals should be in plain text, HTML or
Markdown format, and not exceed 2000 words. A demo proposal should be
clearly marked as such, by prepending Demo Proposal: to the title.

Demo proposals will be published on the FARM website. A summary of the
demo performances will also be published as part of the conference
proceedings, to be prepared by the program chair.

3) Calls for collaboration

Calls for collaboration should describe a need for technology or
expertise related to the FARM theme. Examples may include but are not
restricted to:

- art projects in need of realization
- existing software or hardware that may benefit from functional programming
- unfinished projects in need of inspiration

Calls for collaboration should be in plain text, HTML or Markdown
format, and not exceed 5000 words. A call for collaboration should be
clearly marked as such, by prepending Call for Collaboration: to the
title.

[racket-users] Call for Participation: Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design (September 24, Nara, Japan)

2016-08-07 Thread Michael Sperber

4th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design
Nara, Japan
September 24, 2016
(co-located with ICFP 2016)

http://functional-art.org/2016

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. 

This year, authors at FARM will present research papers, demos of new tools, 
and calls for collaboration. The evening will also feature computer music 
performances of artists integrating functional programming techniques into 
their work. 

To register for FARM, visit the ICFP registration page - early registration 
ends August 17. Some funding support is available for the main ICFP conference 
and related workshops like FARM. This information can be found on the travel 
support page.

Registration


You can register via the ICFP 2016 registration:

Final Call for Papers, Demos, *and* Performances

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

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. Theoretical foundations, language design,
implementation issues, and applications in industry or the arts are
all within the scope of the workshop. The language used need not be
purely functional ("mostly functional" is fine), and may be manifested
as a domain specific language or tool. Moreover, submissions focusing
on questions or issues about the use of functional programming are
within the scope.
