L.S.,
Apologies for any duplicates you may receive.
EasyChair now open! [3]
Please find below the Third Call for Papers for the Second International
Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming In Education (TFPIE). As an
addendum to previous CfPs for this event, I would like you to consider the
following: May FP researchers also teach FP or use an FP language to teach
something else. Even though many of these teachers are very enthusiastic about
what they do, they typically don't consider it something to write up. I believe
that having a serious forum specifically for the education of or with FP will
help promote the use of FP as a teaching tool and will benefit the field of
computer science as a whole.
Previous CfPs for the event were sent out in PDF form. Many mailing-lists
reject this. Therefore, below, is the plain textual form of the CfP. For more
information, refer to the website [1]. For inspiration, see last year's
proceedings (like this year, published in the Electronic Proceedings in
Theoretical Computer Science) [2]. Submissions are welcome via EasyChair [3].
Please forward this CfP to whatever forum you consider appropriate.
Regards,

Third Call for Papers the Second International Workshop on Trends in Functional
Programming in Education
TFPIE
-----
The second International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in
Education, TFPIE 2013, is co-located with Trends in Functional Programming (TFP
2013) at Brigham Young University in Utah. The goal of TFPIE is to gather
researchers, teachers and all professionals that use, or are interested in the
use of, functional programming in education. TFPIE aims to be a venue were
novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas and work-in-progress on the use of
functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will
foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication
after the workshop.
The program chair of TFPIE 2013 will screen submissions to ensure that all
presentations are within scope and are of interest to participants. Potential
presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages) or an article
(up to 16 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of all accepted presentations will
have their preprints and their slides made available on the workshop's
website/wiki. Any visitors to the TFPIE 2013 website/wiki will be able to add
comments. This includes presenters who may respond to comments and questions as
well as provide pointers to improvements and follow-up work. After the
workshop, the presenters will be invited to submit (a revised version of) their
article for review. The PC will select the best articles for publication in the
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science journal (EPTCS).
Articles rejected for presentation and all extended abstracts will not be
formally reviewed by the PC.
TFPIE 2013 welcomes submissions describing practical techniques used in the
classroom, tools used in and/or developed for the classroom and any creative
use of functional programming (FP) to aid education in or outside Computer
Science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Teaching FP to highschool, beginning CS, and graduate students
- FP as a teaching tool for other (CS) topics
- FP and Robotics, Music and Philosophy
- Advanced FP for undergraduates
- Engaging students in research using FP
- FP in Programming Languages
- FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics
Important dates & Submission
----------------------------
Submission for presentation: Apr 20
Notification of acceptance: Apr 25
Submission formal paper: Jun 9
Notification of acceptance: Aug 16
Camera-ready version: Sep 8
Submission (pre-conference) through EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2013
Submission and review for publication occur after the meeting in Utah. This
allows authors to revise their articles, to include comments received at the
meeting. After submission, we aim to provide four reviews per paper.
Contact
-------
You can direct any questions you might have to the program chair, through
[email protected]. Discussion, both of the workshop itself and of the
work presented there, is hosted on the TFPIE-wiki.
Venue
-----
Brigham Young University (BYU) is the third-largest private university and the
largest explicitly religious university in the United States of America.
Although BYU is owned and operated by the LDS church, the workshop is
independent of this affiliation. By BYU's own pen:
"Brigham Young University seeks to develop students of faith, intellect and
character who have the skills and the desire to continue learning and to serve
others throughout their lives. Established in 1875, the university provides an
outstanding education in an atmosphere consistent with the ideals and
principles of its sponsor, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Known for its academically minded and internationally experienced student body,
its world-class teaching and its beautiful mountain location, BYU is also
recognized for its extensive language programs, talented performing arts
ensembles, outstanding sports programs and devotion to combining solid
scholarship with the principles of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ."
It should be noted that BYU's "Honor Code" applies only to students & staff. It
does *not* apply to visitors.
