 ACM SIGPLAN                                      CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
                     Haskell Symposium 2017

            Oxford, United Kingdom, 7--8 September 2017
           https://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2017/
================================================================================

The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2017 will be co-located with the 2017
International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP), in Oxford, United
Kingdom.  The Haskell Symposium aims to present original research on
Haskell,
discuss practical experience and future development of the language, and to
promote other forms of denotative programming.

Topics of interest include:

  * Language design, with a focus on possible extensions and modifications
of
    Haskell as well as critical discussions of the status quo;

  * Theory, such as formal semantics of the present language or future
    extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and foundations for
    program analysis and transformation;

  * Implementations, including program analysis and transformation,
    static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed
    architectures, memory management, as well as foreign function and
    component interfaces;

  * Libraries, that demonstrate new ideas or techniques for functional
    programming in Haskell;

  * Tools, such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors,
    and testing tools;

  * Applications, to scientific and symbolic computing, databases,
multimedia,
    telecommunication, the web, and so forth;

  * Functional Pearls, being elegant and instructive programming examples;

  * Experience Reports, to document general practice and experience in
    education, industry, or other contexts.
  * System Demonstrations, based on running software rather than novel
    research results.

Regular papers should explain their research contributions in both general
and
technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it
is
significant, and relating it to previous work, and to other languages where
appropriate.

Experience reports and functional pearls need not necessarily report
original
academic research results. For example, they may instead report reusable
programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or practical
experience
that will be useful to other users, implementors, or researchers. The key
criterion for such a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other
Haskellers can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a standard
solution
to a standard programming problem, or report on experience where you used
Haskell in the standard way and achieved the result you were expecting. More
advice is available via the Haskell wiki.

System demonstrations should summarize the system capabilities that would be
demonstrated. The proposals will be judged on whether the ensuing session is
likely to be important and interesting to the Haskell community at large,
whether on grounds academic or industrial, theoretical or practical,
technical,
social or artistic. Please contact the program chair with any questions
about
the relevance of a proposal.


Submission Details
==================

Early and Regular Track
-----------------------

The Haskell Symposium uses a two-track submission
process so that some papers can gain early feedback. Strong papers
submitted to
the early track are accepted outright, and the others will be given their
reviews and invited to resubmit to the regular track. Papers accepted via
the
early and regular tracks are considered of equal value and will not be
distinguished in the proceedings. Although all papers may be submitted to
the
early track, authors of functional pearls and experience reports are
particularly encouraged to use this mechanism. The success of these papers
depends heavily on the way they are presented, and submitting early will
give
the program committee a chance to provide feedback and help draw out the key
ideas.

Formatting
----------

Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF),
formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines.  Authors should use the
`acmart` format, with the `sigplan` sub-format for ACM proceedings.
For details, see:

  http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format

Functional pearls, experience reports, and demo proposals should be
labelled clearly as such.

Page Limits
-----------

The length of submissions should not exceed the following limits:

Regular paper:      12 pages
Functional pearl:   12 pages
Experience report:   6 pages
Demo proposal:       2 pages

There is no requirement that all pages are used. For example, a
functional pearl may be much shorter than 12 pages.

Deadlines
---------

Early track:
  Submission deadline:  13 March 2017, Monday
  Notification:         01 May   2017, Monday

Regular track and demos:
  Submission deadline:  22 May  2017, Monday
  Notification:         26 June 2017, Monday

Deadlines are valid anywhere on Earth.
