FARM 2015

		  3rd ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
		 Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design

		    Vancouver, Canada, 5 September, 2015

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.

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

Submissions are invited in two categories:

   * Full papers

     5 to 12 pages using the ACM SIGPLAN template. FARM 2015
     is an interdisciplinary conference, so a wide range of
     approaches are encouraged and we recognize that the
     appropriate length of a paper may vary considerably
     depending on the approach. However, all submissions must
     propose an original contribution to the FARM theme, cite
     relevant previous work, and apply appropriate research
     methods.


   * Demo abstracts

     Demo abstracts should describe the demonstration 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. Abstracts should be no
     longer than 2 pages, using the ACM SIGPLAN template and
     will be subject to a light-touch peer review.

If you have any questions about what type of contributions
that might be suitable, or anything else regarding
submission or the workshop itself, please contact the
organisers at:

     farm-2015 at easychair.org
