IEEE/ACM CGO-2020 Call for submissions to Student Research Competition (SRC)


The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) offers a unique forum for 
undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research 
before a panel of judges and attendees at CGO. Participants must be 
undergraduates or graduate students pursuing an academic degree at the 
time of initial submission. Participants must be current student members 
of the ACM. The abstracts will be examined by a selection committee and 
selected abstracts will be invited to present as posters at the 
conference. SRC poster submissions are, in addition, evaluated by a jury 
during the poster session at the conference. The best three posters are 
then invited to give a short presentation (10 minutes + 5 minutes 
questions) on the next day. Based on the submitted abstract, the poster, 
and the presentation, the winner of CGO's Student Research Competition 
will be selected, who will receive an award. In addition, the winner 
will be invited to participate in the grand 2020 ACM SRC competition. 
Further information on the ACM SRC is available at: https://src.acm.org


SRC Chair: Changhee Jung (Purdue University)

Submission Information:

Submission must be about unpublished work that is not under review 
anywhere. Extended abstracts of up to 500 words should be submitted by 
email to chj...@purdue.edu on or before December 15, 2019. All 
submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee. Notifications 
will be sent out by January 2, 2020.


Please format your submission using the SIGPLAN format found at 
http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/. Use one 8.5″x11″ single 
spaced, double-column page, with 10pt or larger font. Include your name

[TYPES/announce] Postdoc position in Dependently Typed Programming, St Andrews

2019-11-04 Thread Edwin Brady
[ The Types Forum (announcements only),
 http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]

Dear all,
There is a position available for a post doctoral research fellow to
work on Type Driven Development in Idris - for more details, and further
particulars, see below, or you can see it at
https://www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/6438/0/250507/889/research-fellow-ar2286sb

Any informal inquiries, please contact me directly on ec...@st-andrews.ac.uk

Edwin

Advert follows:

Applications are invited for a Research Fellow to work with Dr Edwin
Brady in the School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews
on an EPSRC funded project "Programming as Conversation: Type-Driven
Development in Action".

The project aims to investigate the extent to which precise type systems
enhance programmer productivity, by developing languages and tools to
support the methodology of type-driven development.  It will build on
recent work developing a new version of the dependently typed
programming language Idris (https://www.idris-lang.org) and will involve
defining a semantics for program construction and manipulation as a
typed domain specific language for implementing editor actions. These
actions will include refactorings, and synthesising programs from their
types.

The successful candidate will have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in
Computer Science or a related subject. A strong background in functional
programming, dependent types or other advanced type systems is required.
The appointee will be expected to present their work both internally and
externally and will be expected to help with supervision and training of
postgraduate and undergraduate research students.

Funded by EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council),
this post is available for three years, with a start date as soon as
possible.

For informal enquiries, please contact: Dr Edwin Brady, School of
Computer Science, ec...@st-andrews.ac.uk.

The University is committed to equality for all, demonstrated through
our working on diversity awards (ECU Athena SWAN/Race Charters; Carer
Positive; LGBT Charter; and Stonewall).  More details can be found at
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/edi/diversityawards/.

CALL FOR PHD ABSTRACTS

Journal of Functional Programming

Deadline: 30th November 2019

http://tinyurl.com/jfp-phd-abstracts



PREAMBLE:

Many students complete PhDs in functional programming each
year. As a service to the community, twice per year the
Journal of Functional Programming publishes the abstracts
from PhD dissertations completed during the previous year.

The abstracts are made freely available on the JFP website,
i.e. not behind any paywall.  They do not require any transfer
of copyright, merely a license from the author.  A dissertation
is eligible for inclusion if parts of it have or could have
appeared in JFP, that is, if it is in the general area of
functional programming.  The abstracts are not reviewed.

Please submit dissertation abstracts according to the instructions
below.  We welcome submissions from both the PhD student and PhD
advisor/supervisor although we encourage them to coordinate.



SUBMISSION:

Please submit the following information to Graham Hutton
 by 30th November 2019:

o Dissertation title: (including any subtitle)

o Student: (full name)

o Awarding institution: (full name and country)

o Date of PhD award: (month and year; depending on the
  institution, this may be the date of the viva, corrections
  being approved, graduation ceremony, or otherwise)

o Advisor/supervisor: (full names)

o Dissertation URL: (please provide a permanently accessible
  link to the dissertation if you have one, such as to an
  institutional repository or other public archive; links
  to personal web pages should be considered a last resort)

o Dissertation abstract: (plain text, maximum 350 words; you may
  use \emph{...} for emphasis, but we prefer no other markup or
  formatting; if your original abstract exceeds the word limit,
  please submit an abridged version within the limit)

Please do not submit a copy of the dissertation itself, as
this is not required.  JFP reserves the right to decline
to publish abstracts that are not deemed appropriate.

The Institute is located in the vibrant area of Madrid, Spain.  It offers an 
ideal working environment, combining the best aspects of a research center and 
a university department.  Its researchers can focus on developing new ideas and 
projects, in collaboration with world-leading, international faculty, 
post-docs, and students.  Researchers also have the opportunity (but no 
obligation) to teach university courses.  The Institute offers institutional 
funding and also encourages its members to participate in national and 
international research projects.  The working language at the Institute is 
English.

Salaries at the Institute are internationally competitive and established on an 
individual basis.  They include social security provisions in accordance with 
existing national Spanish legislation, and in particular access to an excellent
