also embracing a variety of other paradigms such as visual
programming, executable specification languages, database languages,
AI languages and knowledge representation languages used, for example,
in the semantic web. The goal is to stimulate research in the use of
logical formalisms and methods for specifying, performing, and
analyzing computations, including mechanisms for mobility, modularity,
concurrency, object-orientation, security, and static analysis. Papers
related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools in industry and
education are especially solicited.

The conference will held in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN
and take place in July 2011 in Odense, Denmark, co-located

Last CfP: JAL Special Issue on Automated Specification and Verification of Web Systems

[Apologies for multiple copies]

========================================================================
JOURNAL OF APPLIED LOGIC
Special Issue on Automated Specification and Verification of Web Systems

http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/tkutsia/jal-wwv.html
========================================================================

SCOPE
-----
This special issue of the Journal of Applied Logic is related
to the topics of the workshop WWV'10: Automated Specification
and Verification of Web Systems, which took place in Vienna on
July 30-31, 2010. Both participants of the workshop and other
authors are invited to submit contributions.

The increased complexity of Web sites and the explosive growth
of Web-based applications has turned their design and
construction into a challenging problem. Nowadays, many
companies have diverted their Web sites into interactive,
completely-automated, Web-based applications (such as Amazon,
on-line banking, or travel agencies) with a high complexity
that requires appropriate specification and verification
techniques and tools. Systematic, formal approaches to the
analysis and verification can address the problems of this
particular domain with automated and reliable tools that also
incorporate semantic aspects.

We solicit original papers on logic-based methods and

Haskell Weekly News: Issue 171

   Welcome to issue 171 of the HWN, a newsletter covering developments
   in the [1]Haskell community. This release covers the week of
   February 20 - 26, 2011 .

Announcements

   Eric Kow [2]announced that the Darcs project is staring to organize the
   next hacking sprint, which will be "most likely in Paris in this
   spring. If you fancy a weekend of hacking Haskell on a really neat real
   world project, come join...!"

   Jose Pedro Magalhaes [3]informed us of the initial release of htime, a
   library to mimic the unix "time" utility.

   Iain Alexander [4]annouced the initial release of data-type,
   function-combine, and flexiwrap. "data-type contains a number of
   fundamental types and classes useful for type-level programming, such
   as type-level booleans, natural numbers, and lists."

   I'd like to once again recognize some of the members of the community
   that spend their time fielding questions from the new commers. If you
   haven't been in the #haskell irc channel, you are just missing out!
   There are also those who spend their time writting great answers to the
   many questions in haskell's StackOverflow tag. You are what make this
   community an inviting place for all the people interested in Haskell.
   Keep it up!

Quotes of the Week

ANN: hmpfr-0.3.2 (requires integer-simple, supports mpfr 3.0.0)

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce hmpfr-0.3.2, a new version of Aleš Bizjak's bindings 
to the MPFR arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic library.  The 
changes in this version are quite small but significant:

- support for MPFR 3.0.0 as well as MPFR 2.4.*
- dependency on integer-simple instead of integer-gmp

The latter is most significant because unfortunately it makes it rather more 
difficult to install hmpfr.   Currently almost all binary distributions of ghc 
have integer-gmp compiled in to provide the Integer type via the standard GMP 
library.  Also haskell platform 2010.2.0.0 assumes that ghc has been compiled 
with integer-gmp although it makes no specific use of it.  Instructions on how 
to compile ghc and haskell platform with integer-simple instead of integer-gmp 
are on:

http://code.google.com/p/hmpfr/wiki/GHCWithoutGMP

The rationale for this change is the fact that despite much effort hmpfr is 
very unreliable on ghc that includes integer-gmp due to ghc deallocating GMP 
data that was allocated by MPFR at unpredictable times.

Aleš and I hope that hmpfr can return to using integer-gmp once the proposal 

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReplacingGMPNotes#BinaryDropinReplacementforGMP

to replace gmp with a modified gmp in ghc is implemented and made the default.

Best regards,
(Continue reading)
