The ARRAY Workshop series is intended to bring together researchers from many different communities, including language designers, library developers, compiler researchers, and practitioners, where these communities can exchange ideas on the construction of computational tools for manipulating arrays. Submissions are welcome in two categories: full papers and extended abstracts. All submissions should be formatted in conformance with the ACM SIGPLAN proceedings style. Accepted submissions in either category will be presented at the workshop. The ARRAY series of workshops explores: - formal semantics and design issues of array-oriented languages and libraries; - productivity and performance in compute-intensive application areas of array programming; - systematic notation for array programming, including axis- and index-based approaches; - intermediate languages, virtual machines, and program-transformation techniques for array programs; - representation of and automated reasoning about mathematical structure, such as static and dynamic sparsity, low-rank patterns, and hierarchies of these, with connections to applications such as graph processing, HPC, tensor computation and deep learning; - interfaces between array- and non-array code, including approaches for embedding array programs in general-purpose programming languages; and - efficient mapping of array programs, through compilers, libraries, and code generators, onto execution platforms, targeting multi-cores, SIMD devices, GPUs, distributed systems, and FPGA hardware, by fully automatic and user-assisted means. All submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black and white on US Letter sized paper. Papers must adhere to the standard SIGPLAN conference format: two columns, ten-point font. Full papers may be up to 12 papes, on any topic related to the focus of the workshop. They will be thoroughly reviewed according to the usual criteria of relevance, soundness, novelty, and significance; accepted submissions will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Extended abstracts may be up to 2 pages; they may describe work in progress, tool demonstrations, and summaries of work published in full elsewhere. The focus of the extended abstract should be to explain why the proposed presentation will be of interest to the ARRAY audience. Submissions will be lightly reviewed only for relevance to the workshop, and will not published in the DL. -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen From chisvasileandrei at gmail.com Mon Feb 7 12:15:36 2022 From: chisvasileandrei at gmail.com (Andrei Chis) Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 13:15:36 +0100 Subject: [Haskell] First Call for Papers: 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2022) Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2022) December 5-10, 2022 Auckland, New Zealand https://conf.researchr.org/home/sle-2022 http://www.sleconf.org/2022 Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/sleconf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2022), held in conjunction with SPLASH, GPCE and SAS 2022. Based on the future developments the conference will be hosted in Auckland, New Zealand on December 5-10, 2022. --------------------------- Topics of Interest --------------------------- SLE covers software language engineering rather than engineering a specific software language. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Software Language Design and Implementation - Approaches to and methods for language design - Static semantics (e.g. design rules, well-formedness constraints) - Techniques for specifying behavioral / executable semantics - Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation) - Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches - Software Language Validation - Verification and formal methods for languages - Testing techniques for languages - Simulation techniques for languages - Software Language Integration and Composition - Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools - Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages) - Traceability between languages - Deployment of languages to different platforms - Software Language Maintenance - Software language reuse - Language evolution - Language families and variability, language and software product lines - Domain-specific approaches for any aspects of SLE (design, implementation, validation, maintenance) - Empirical evaluation and experience reports of language engineering tools - User studies evaluating usability - Performance benchmarks - Industrial applications - "Synergies between Language Engineering and emerging/promising research areas" - AI and ML language engineering (e.g., ML compiler testing, code classification) Quantum language engineering (e.g., language design for quantum machines) - Language engineering for physical systems (e.g., CPS, IoT, digital twins) - Socio-technical systems and language engineering (e.g., language evolution to adapt to social requirements) - Etc. --------------------------- Types of Submissions --------------------------- SLE accepts the following types of papers: - **Research papers**: These are "traditional" papers detailing research contributions to SLE. Papers may range from 6 to 12 pages in length, and may optionally include 2 further pages of bibliography/appendices. Papers will be reviewed with an understanding that some results do not need 12 full pages and may be fully described in fewer pages. - **New ideas / vision papers**: These are papers that may describe new, unconventional software language engineering research positions or approaches that depart from standard practice. They can describe well-defined research ideas that are at an early stage of investigation. They could also provide new evidence to challenge common wisdom, present new unifying theories about existing SLE research that provides novel insight or that can lead to the development of new technologies or approaches, or apply SLE technology to radically new application areas. New ideas / vision papers must not exceed 5 pages, and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography / appendices. - **SLE Body of Knowledge**: The SLE Body of Knowledge (SLEBoK) is a community-wide effort to provide a unique and comprehensive description of the concepts, best practices, tools and methods developed by the SLE community. To this respect, the SLE conference will accept surveys, essays, open challenges, empirical observations and case study papers on the SLE topics. These can focus on but they are not limited to methods, techniques, best practices and teaching approaches. Papers in this category can have up to 20 pages, including bibliography/appendices. - **Tool papers**: These are papers which focus on the tooling aspects which are often forgotten or neglected in research papers. A good tool paper focuses on practical insights that are likely to be useful to other implementers or users in the future. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography / appendices. They may optionally come with an appendix with a demo outline / screenshots and/or a short video/screencast illustrating the tool. **Workshops**: Workshops will be organized by SPLASH. Please inform us and contact the SPLASH organizers if you would like to organize a workshop of interest to the SLE audience. Information on how to submit workshops can be found at the SPLASH 2022 Website. --------------------------- Two submission rounds --------------------------- For the first time, SLE is introducing a two-phase submission and review process. This will give authors submitting to the first round an extra opportunity to improve their work (if needed) based on the comments and feedback by the reviewers. Furthermore, this will increase the quality of SLE accepted papers. Manuscripts can be submitted to any of the two submission rounds. Decisions on the papers submitted to the **first round** will be: accept, reject or re-submit revised version. While rejected papers must not, revised versions may be submitted to the second round, with an accompanying response letter to the reviewers stating the changes made and how the authors addressed the reviewers’ criticisms. Re-submissions will be reviewed by the same reviewers. Decisions on fresh papers submitted to the **second round** will be: accept or reject. The authors of those papers that are likely to be rejected but have at least one reviewer who is championing it will have the chance to respond to the reviewers before the final decision is made. --------------------------- Important Dates --------------------------- All dates are Anywhere on Earth. * 1st round submissions * Abstract submissions: April 6, 2022 * Paper submissions: April 13, 2022 * Notification: May 13, 2022 * 2nd round submissions * Abstract submissions: July 8, 2022 (tentative) * Paper submissions: July 15, 2022 (tentative) * Review notification: September 7, 2022 (tentative) * Author response period: September 12, 2022 (tentative) * Notification: September 19, 2022 (tentative) * Artifact submissions: September 26, 2022 (tentative) * Artifact kick-the-tires Author response: October 10, 2022 (tentative) * Artifact notification: October 24, 2022 (tentative) * Camera-ready (for both rounds): November 4, 2022 (tentative) * Conference: December 5-10, 2022 (TENTATIVE) **COVID-19 Disclaimer** Due to the uncertainties related to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the second round submission deadlines, the artifact evaluation deadlines, the camera-ready deadline and the conference dates are still *preliminary* and will be closed in the next few weeks. --------------------------- Format --------------------------- Submissions have to use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format "acmart"(http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format); please make sure that you always use the latest ACM SIGPLAN acmart LaTeX template(https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-template/acmart-master.zip), and that the document class definition is `\documentclass[sigplan,anonymous,review]{acmart}`. Do not make any changes to this format! Ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes in figures and tables are legible. To increase fairness in reviewing, a double-blind review process has become standard across SIGPLAN conferences. In this line, SLE will follow the double-blind process. Author names and institutions should be omitted from submitted papers, and references to the authors’ own related work should be in the third person. No other changes are necessary, and authors will not be penalized if reviewers are able to infer their identities in implicit ways. All submissions must be in PDF format. The submission website is: https://sle22.hotcrp.com --------------------------- Concurrent Submissions --------------------------- Papers must describe unpublished work that is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere as described by SIGPLAN’s Republication Policy (http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication). Submitters should also be aware of ACM’s Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism (http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism_policy). Submissions that violate these policies will be desk-rejected. --------------------------- Policy on Human Participant and Subject Research --------------------------- Authors conducting research involving human participants and subjects must ensure that their research comply with their local governing laws and regulations and the ACM’s general principles as stated in the ACM’s Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-participants-and-subjects). Submissions that violate this policy will be rejected. --------------------------- Reviewing Process --------------------------- All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Research papers and tool papers will be evaluated concerning novelty, correctness, significance, readability, and alignment with the conference call. New ideas/vision papers will be evaluated primarily concerning novelty, significance, readability, and alignment with the conference call. SLEBoK papers will be reviewed on their significance, readability, topicality and capacity of presenting/evaluating/demonstrating a piece of BoK about SLE. For fairness reasons, all submitted papers must conform to the above instructions. Submissions that violate these instructions may be rejected without review, at the discretion of the PC chairs. After each review round, authors will get a chance to respond before a final decision is made. --------------------------- Artifact Evaluation --------------------------- For the seventh year, SLE will use an evaluation process for assessing the quality of the artifacts on which papers are based to foster the culture of experimental reproducibility. Authors of accepted research papers are invited to submit artifacts. For more information, please have a look at the Artifact Evaluation (http://www.sleconf.org/2022/ArtifactEvaluation.html) page. --------------------------- Special Issue --------------------------- A special issue on the conference topic in a high-impact journal is under negotiation. --------------------------- Awards --------------------------- - **Distinguished paper**: Award for most notable paper, as determined by the PC chairs based on the recommendations of the programme committee. - **Distinguished artifact**: Award for the artifact most significantly exceeding expectations, as determined by the AEC chairs based on the recommendations of the artifact evaluation committee. --------------------------- Publication --------------------------- All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. **AUTHORS TAKE NOTE**: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference.

The objective of the LPNMR workshop program is to stimulate the discussion and the exchange of ideas on topics related, but not limited, to declarative logic programming, non-monotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation. We aim at creating a forum where researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines may interact and have an opportunity to promote collaboration and identify directions for joint future research. Accordingly, we solicit workshop proposals on theoretical and applied research topics. Workshop proposals should explain and motivate the topic of the workshop, and discuss the format of presentation of the contributes. Workshops will likely be half-day or one-day in duration, but we may consider longer programs. DATES    * Workshop proposals submissions: February 25th, 2022    * Workshop proposals notifications: March 7th, 2022    * Workshop program: September 5th, 2022 (tentative date) SUBMISSION  Proposals must be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=lpnmrws2022  Proposals should clearly specify the following:    * Workshop title and acronym    * A brief description, emphasizing why this workshop would appeal to      audiences from LPNMR    * A list of organizers with email addresses, web page URLs, and a short      description of their experience in organizing events    * A short description of the format of planned activities (talks, posters,      panels, invited speakers if any, etc.)    * The proposed duration (half day, one day, etc.)    * A description of the history of the workshop (if any)    * Expected number of participants VENUE Workshops are planned to be held at the University, which is in the city center of Genova. Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of Genova from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. Its old town district is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west. The main conference will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the Collegio Emiliani (http://www.collegioemiliani.it/, information available only in Italian on this link), which is a college directly situated on the sea. Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa. Nervi is 7 km east of central Genova. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.

As a result, we've decided to push back the deadlines and conference date by a few weeks. In particular, the pre-symposium deadline for submitting the first version of your paper is now just after the ICFP deadline. == Important Dates == Submission deadline for draft papers                Monday 7th March, 2022 Notification for draft submissions                  Friday 11th March, 2022 Symposium dates                                     Thursday 17th - Friday 18th March, 2022 Submission deadline for post-symposium reviewing    Wednesday 6th April, 2022 Notification for post-symposium submissions         Friday 27th May, 2022 The Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions. == Scope == The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: * Research Articles:    Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work * Position Articles:   On what new trends should or should not be * Project Articles:    Descriptions of recently started new projects * Evaluation Articles:    What lessons can be drawn from a finished project * Overview Articles:    Summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject Articles must be original and not simultaneously submitted for publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Topics suitable for the symposium include, but are not limited to: * Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing * Functional programming in the cloud * High performance functional computing * Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs * Dependently typed functional programming * Validation and verification of functional programs * Debugging and profiling for functional languages * Functional programming in different application areas:    security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded    systems, global computing, grids, etc. * Interoperability with imperative programming languages * Novel memory management techniques * Program analysis and transformation techniques * Empirical performance studies * Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages * (Embedded) domain specific languages * New implementation strategies * Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2022 program chairs, Wouter Swierstra and Nicolas Wu. == Best Paper Awards == To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper accepted for the formal proceedings. TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students, acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors, and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then receive both prizes. == Instructions to Author == Papers must be submitted at:    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp22 Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed either before or after the Symposium. == Post-symposium formal review process == Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance for presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised papers based on the feedback received at the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these articles for formal publication. == Paper categories == Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted as extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (20 pages). The submission must clearly indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A draft paper for which all authors are students will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has taken place. == Format == Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS web site. == Program Committee == Guillaume Allais                University of St Andrews José Manuel Calderón Trilla     Galois, Inc.

PACMPL issue ICFP 2022 also welcomes submissions in two separate categories — Functional Pearls and Experience Reports — that must be marked as such when submitted and that need not report original research results. Detailed guidelines on both categories are given at the end of this call. Please contact the associate editor if you have questions or are concerned about the appropriateness of a topic. ### About PACMPL Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages (PACMPL ) is a Gold Open Access journal publishing research on all aspects of programming languages, from design to implementation and from mathematical formalisms to empirical studies. Each issue of the journal is devoted to a particular subject area within programming languages and will be announced through publicized Calls for Papers, like this one. ### Preparation of submissions **Deadline**: The deadline for submissions is **Wednesday, March 2, 2022**, Anywhere on Earth (). This deadline will be strictly enforced. **Formatting**: Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black and white on US Letter sized paper and interpretable by common PDF tools. All submissions must adhere to the "ACM Small" template that is available (in both LaTeX and Word formats) from . There is a limit of **25 pages for a full paper or Functional Pearl** and **12 pages for an Experience Report**; in either case, the bibliography will not be counted against these limits. Submissions that exceed the page limits or, for other reasons, do not meet the requirements for formatting, will be summarily rejected. Supplementary material can and should be **separately** submitted (see below). See also PACMPL's Information and Guidelines for Authors at . **Submission**: Submissions will be accepted at Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the submission deadline using the same web interface. **Author Response Period**: Authors will have a 72-hour period, starting at 17:00 UTC on *Monday, May 2, 2022*, to read reviews and respond to them. **Supplementary Material**: Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material should **not** be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it should be uploaded as a **separate** PDF document or tarball. Supplementary material should be uploaded **at submission time**, not by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository. Authors are free to upload both anonymized and non-anonymized supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s). **Authorship Policies**: All submissions are expected to comply with the ACM Policies for Authorship that are detailed at . **Republication Policies**: Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as explained on the web at . ### Review Process This section outlines the two-stage process with lightweight double-blind reviewing that will be used to select papers for PACMPL issue ICFP 2022. We anticipate that there will be a need to clarify and expand on this process, and we will maintain a list of frequently asked questions and answers on the PACMPL issue website to address common concerns. **PACMPL issue ICFP 2022 will employ a two-stage review process.** The first stage in the review process will assess submitted papers using the criteria stated above and will allow for feedback and input on initial reviews through the author response period mentioned previously. As a result of the review process, a set of papers will be conditionally accepted and all other papers will be rejected. Authors will be notified of these decisions on **May 21, 2022**. Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with committee reviews along with a set of mandatory revisions. On June 16, 2022, the authors will provide a second submission. The second and final reviewing phase assesses whether the mandatory revisions have been adequately addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final accept/reject status of the paper. The intent and expectation are that the mandatory revisions can be addressed within three weeks and hence that conditionally accepted papers will, in general, be accepted in the second phase. The second submission should clearly identify how the mandatory revisions were addressed. To that end, the second submission must be accompanied by a cover letter mapping each mandatory revision request to specific parts of the paper. The cover letter will facilitate a quick second review, allowing for confirmation of final acceptance within two weeks. Conversely, the absence of a cover letter will be grounds for the paper’s rejection. **PACMPL issue ICFP 2022 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.** To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules: 1. **author names and institutions must be omitted**, and 2. **references to authors' own related work should be in the third person** (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the work of ..."). The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their papers as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. ### Information for Authors of Accepted Papers * As a condition of acceptance, final versions of all papers must adhere to the new ACM Small format. The page limit for the final versions of papers will be increased by two pages to help authors respond to reviewer comments and mandatory revisions: **27 pages plus bibliography for a regular paper or Functional Pearl, 14 pages plus bibliography for an Experience Report**. * Authors of accepted submissions will be required to agree to one of the three ACM licensing options, one of which is Creative Commons CC-BY publication; this is the option recommended by the PACMPL editorial board. A reasoned argument in favour of this option can be found in the article [Why CC-BY?](https://oaspa.org/why-cc-by/) published by OASPA, the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association. The other options are copyright transfer to ACM or retaining copyright but granting ACM exclusive publication rights. * PACMPL is a Gold Open Access journal, and authors are encouraged to publish their work under a CC-BY license. Gold Open Access guarantees permanent free online access to the definitive version in the ACM Digital Library, and the recommended CC-BY option also allows anyone to copy and distribute the work with attribution. Gold Open Access has been made possible by generous funding through ACM SIGPLAN, which will cover all open access costs in the event authors cannot. Authors who can cover the costs may do so by paying an Article Processing Charge (APC). PACMPL, SIGPLAN, and ACM Headquarters are committed to exploring routes to making Gold Open Access publication both affordable and sustainable. * ACM Author-Izer is a unique service that enables ACM authors to generate and post links on either their home page or institutional repository for visitors to download the definitive version of their articles from the ACM Digital Library at no charge. Downloads through Author-Izer links are captured in official ACM statistics, improving the accuracy of usage and impact measurements. Consistently linking to the definitive version of an ACM article should reduce user confusion over article versioning. After an article has been published and assigned to the appropriate ACM Author Profile pages, authors should visit to learn how to create links for free downloads from the ACM DL. * The official publication date is the date the papers are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to *two weeks prior* to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. * Authors of each accepted submission are invited to attend and be available for the presentation of that paper at the conference. The schedule for presentations will be determined and shared with authors after the full program has been selected. ### Artifact Evaluation Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase of the review process will be encouraged (but not required) to submit supporting materials for Artifact Evaluation. These items will then be reviewed by an Artifact Evaluation Committee, separate from the paper Review Committee, whose task is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the associated paper. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of approval printed on the papers themselves. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to make the supporting materials publicly available upon publication of the papers, for example, by including them as "source materials" in the ACM Digital Library. An additional seal will mark papers whose artifacts are made available, as outlined in the ACM guidelines for artifact badging. Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary and will not influence the final decision regarding paper acceptance. ### Special categories of papers In addition to research papers, PACMPL issue ICFP solicits two kinds of papers that do not require original research contributions: Functional Pearls, which are full papers, and Experience Reports, which are limited to half the length of a full paper. Authors submitting such papers should consider the following guidelines. #### Functional Pearls A Functional Pearl is an elegant essay about something related to functional programming. Examples include, but are not limited to: * a new and thought-provoking way of looking at an old idea * an instructive example of program calculation or proof * a nifty presentation of an old or new data structure * an interesting application of functional programming techniques * a novel use or exposition of functional programming in the classroom While pearls often demonstrate an idea through the development of a short program, there is no requirement or expectation that they do so. Thus, they encompass the notions of theoretical and educational pearls. Functional Pearls are valued as highly and judged as rigorously as ordinary papers, but using somewhat different criteria. In particular, a pearl is not required to report original research, but, it should be concise, instructive, and entertaining. A pearl is likely to be rejected if its readers get bored, if the material gets too complicated, if too much-specialized knowledge is needed, or if the writing is inelegant. The key to writing a good pearl is polishing. A submission that is intended to be treated as a pearl must be marked as 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 describe the experience of using functional programming in practice, whether in industrial application, tool development, programming education, or any other area. 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 papers and in any citations, the title of each accepted Experience Report must end with the words “(Experience Report)” in parentheses. 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 understand the application 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 describes an illuminating experience with functional programming, or provide evidence for a clear thesis about the use of functional programming. The experience or thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it need not be novel. The review committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on whether they judge the paper to illuminate some aspect of the use of functional programming. 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 papers show how functional programming was used than from papers that only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing Experience Reports often include comparisons of situations before and after the introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Experience 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 it should 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. 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 to submit 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.

The objective of the LPNMR workshop program is to stimulate the discussion and the exchange of ideas on topics related, but not limited, to declarative logic programming, non-monotonic reasoning, and knowledge representation. We aim at creating a forum where researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines may interact and have an opportunity to promote collaboration and identify directions for joint future research. Accordingly, we solicit workshop proposals on theoretical and applied research topics. Workshop proposals should explain and motivate the topic of the workshop, and discuss the format of presentation of the contributes. Workshops will likely be half-day or one-day in duration, but we may consider longer programs. DATES    * Workshop proposals submissions: February 25th, 2022    * Workshop proposals notifications: March 7th, 2022    * Workshop program: September 5th, 2022 (tentative date) SUBMISSION  Proposals must be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=lpnmrws2022  Proposals should clearly specify the following:    * Workshop title and acronym    * A brief description, emphasizing why this workshop would appeal to      audiences from LPNMR    * A list of organizers with email addresses, web page URLs, and a short      description of their experience in organizing events    * A short description of the format of planned activities (talks, posters,      panels, invited speakers if any, etc.)    * The proposed duration (half day, one day, etc.)    * A description of the history of the workshop (if any)    * Expected number of participants VENUE Workshops are planned to be held at the University, which is in the city center of Genova. Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of Genova from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. Its old town district is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west. The main conference will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the Collegio Emiliani (http://www.collegioemiliani.it/, information available only in Italian on this link), which is a college directly situated on the sea. Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa. Nervi is 7 km east of central Genova. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.

Our goal is for all participants of BOB to return home with new insights that enable them to improve their own software development experience. The program features 14 talks and 8 tutorials on current topics: https://bobkonf.de/2022/program.html The subject range includes functional programming, effects, distributed programming, formal methods, generative art, event-driven systems, the human brain, Haskell, Python, Scala, Lua, Clojure, Erlang, Nix, and others. Derek Dreyer will give the keynote talk. Due to COVID-related risks, BOB will take place online, entirely within a Gather Town virtual world. We've placed special emphasis on enabling social, casual interaction, in addition to our stellar program. Registration is open - student tickets are €10, regular tickets are €30. As always, grants are available for members of groups underrepresented in tech: https://bobkonf.de/2022/program.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
