Hi all,
Very happy to announce the call for FARM, details below. Live coding
related submissions very much welcomed, you might recognise a couple
of live coders amongst the programme committee...
FARM 2014
2nd ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music,
Modelling and Design
Gothenburg, Sweden; 6 September, 2014
http://functional-art.org
The functional programming community is largely interested in writing
beautiful programs. The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art,
Music, Modelling and Design (FARM) is intended to gather researchers and
practitioners interested in writing beautiful programs which generate
beautiful artifacts or experiences, or perhaps even challenge notions of
beauty. FARM encourages submissions from across art, craft and design,
including textiles, visual art, music, 3D sculpture, animation, GUIs, video
games, physical models, architectural models, choreographies for dance,
poetry, and even VLSI layouts, GPU configurations, or mechanical engineering
designs. The language used need not be purely functional ("mostly functional"
is fine); may be based on abstractions such as higher-order functions, monads,
arrows, or streams; 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 2014 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:
workshop2014_at_functional-art.org
