+===================
+2025 ACM SIGMETRICS
+Call for Tutorials
+===================
+
+June 9-13, 2025
+Stony Brook University, New York, USA
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The 2025 ACM SIGMETRICS conference seeks tutorial proposals, which should provide clear and focused teaching material within the scope of the conference. The list of topics can be found under the conference call:
+
+https://www.sigmetrics.org/sigmetrics2025/call_for_papers.html
+
+Introductory tutorials (on key analytical tools, measurement methodologies, problem areas, etc.) as well as tutorials covering new and emerging topics that are of broad interest to students, academics, and practitioners are particularly encouraged. We will also be open to receiving proposals on the topics that are adjacent to the traditional focus of the conference. The length of the tutorial can be 1.5 hours or 3 hours.
+
+The tutorial proposal should describe concisely the content, importance, and timeliness of the tutorial. It should contain the following sections:
+
+- Title of tutorial.
+- Preferred length (1.5 hours/3 hours). (Note: Final length will be determined based on received proposals and available slots.)
+- The name(s) of the tutorial lecturer(s).
+- Tutorial abstract.
+- Tutorial outline. If there is more than one speaker, the distribution of the tutorial content among the lecturers should be roughly described.
+- Importance and timeliness of the tutorial.
+- Biography for each tutorial lecturer (no more than 300 words per person, including previous lecture and tutorial experience).
+
+ALL speakers of an accepted proposal are expected to participate in conducting the tutorial. For collaborative work, only the contributors conducting the tutorial should be listed as “speakers”. An honorarium will be provided for each tutorial to at least cover the registration cost of a speaker.
+
+Important Dates
+===============
+
+- Submission deadline: November 15, 2024.
+- Submission format: PDF (up to four pages) to sigmetrics2025tutorial@googlegroups.com.
+- Expected number of tutorials: 6-12.
+- Notification: February 14, 2025.
+- Tutorials date: June 9, 2025.
+
+For past years tutorials, please visit the websites of earlier conference years hosted at https://sigmetrics.org/.

+deadline: "11/13/2024"
+---
+# TFP 2025 – Call for Papers
+(trendsfp.github.io)
+
+## Important Dates
+
+Submission deadline (pre-symposium, full papers): Wed 13th Nov 2024 (AOE)
+Notification        (pre-symposium, full papers): Wed 11th Dec 2024
+Submission deadline (pre-symposium draft papers): Wed 11th Dec 2024 (AOE)
+Notification        (pre-symposium draft papers): Mon 16th Dec 2024
+Submission deadline (post-symposium review):      Wed 19th Feb 2025 (AOE)
+Notification        (post-symposium submissions): Wed 26th Mar 2025
+
+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.
+
+This year, TFP will take place in-person at the University of Oxford, UK. It 
+is co-located with the Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE) 
+workshop, which will take on the day before the main symposium.
+
+Please be aware that TFP has several submission deadlines. The first, 13th 
+November, is for authors who wish to have their full paper reviewed prior to 
+the symposium. Papers that are accepted in this way must also be presented at 
+the symposium. The second, 11th December, is for authors who wish to present 
+their work or work-in-progress at the symposium first without submitting to 
+the full review process for publication. These authors can then take into 
+account feedback received at the symposium and submit a full paper for review 
+by the third deadline, 19th February.
+
+## 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 
+paper categories. High-quality submissions are solicited in any of these 
+categories:
+
+*   Research Papers: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work
+*   Position Papers: On what new trends should or should not be
+*   Project Papers: Descriptions of recently started new projects
+*   Evaluation Papers: What lessons can be drawn from a finished project
+*   Overview Papers: Summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject
+
+Papers 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 paper is within the scope of TFP, please 
+contact the programme chair, Jeremy Gibbons.
+
+## Best Paper Awards
+
+TFP awards two prizes for the best papers each year.
+
+First, to reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best overall 
+paper accepted for the post-conference formal proceedings.
+
+Second, each year TFP also awards a prize for the best student paper. 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 the paper’s first authors, and a student would present the paper.
+
+In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper 
+happens to be a student paper, then that paper will receive both prizes.
+
+## Instructions to Authors
+
+Submission is via EquinOCS (https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/tfp2025).
+
+Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed 
+either before or after the Symposium. Further, pre-symposium submissions may either 
+be full (earlier deadline) or draft papers (later deadline).
+
+## Pre-symposium formal review
+
+Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted before the 
+early deadline and will receive their reviews and notification of acceptance for 
+both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that has been 
+rejected for publication but accepted for presentation may be revised and resubmitted 
+for the post-symposium formal review.
+
+## Post-symposium formal review
+
+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 papers 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 (up to 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 Guidelines web site
+(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
