FARM 2020 Call for Papers, Demos, and PerformancesJersey City, New Jersey, United States, August 28, 2020
https://functional-art.org/2020/
colocated with ICFP 2020: https://icfp20.sigplan.org/home/farm-2020
Announcements:
- Due to current circumstances, ICFP (and FARM) will be online-only this year. Details on exact technical arrangements are forthcoming.
- The deadline for performance submissions has been extended to August 1, 2020. Performances will also be online-only.
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. 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. Theoretical foundations, language design, implementation issues, and applications in industry or the arts are all within the scope of the workshop.
In addition to the main workshop, FARM hosts a traditional evening of performances. Thus, this call encompasses both papers/demos for the workshop (and its published proceedings) as well as performance proposals for the evening's event. Authors are invited to make a single submission for each. Authors may submit both a paper/demo and performance proposal, but the submissions will be considered independently.
SUBMISSION
We welcome submissions from academic, professional, and independent programmers and artists. Submissions are accepted via the Submission page on Easychair.
PAPERS (deadline passed)
Paper submissions are invited in three categories:
- Original research
- Overview / state of the art
- Technology tutorial
All submissions must propose an original contribution to the FARM theme. FARM is an interdisciplinary conference, so a wide range of approaches are encouraged. An original paper should have 5 to 12 pages, be in portable document format (PDF), and use the ACM SIGPLAN style guides and ACM SIGPLAN template (using the SIGPLAN sub-format). Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the FARM 2020 proceedings. See here for information on the options available to authors. Authors are encouraged to submit auxiliary material for publication along with their paper (source code, data, videos, images, etc.); authors retain all rights to the auxiliary material.
DEMO PROPOSALS (deadline passed)
Demo proposals should describe a demonstration to be given at the FARM workshop 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. Demo proposals should be in the form of an extended abstract (500 to 2000 words). A demo proposal should be clearly marked as such, by prepending “Demo Proposal:” to the title and proposed to the 'paper' track. Demo proposals will be published on the FARM website.
PERFORMANCE PROPOSALS
FARM seeks proposals for performances which employ functional programming techniques, in whole or in part. We invite a diverse range of functionally-themed submissions including music, video, dance, and performance art. Both live performances and fixed-media submissions are welcome. We encourage both risk-taking proposals that push forward the state of the art and refined presentations of highly developed practice.
Performance proposals should be submitted to the 'track' field as a PDF and must include: a description of the proposed performance, an explanation of the use of functional programming in the work, and a list of technical requirements. All proposals should also be supported by an audio or video example, which can either be attached as a separate supplementary file or linked in the proposal PDF if hosted in a publicly accessible place (such as YouTube)
IMPORTANT DATES/DEADLINES:
- Papers Track Submission Deadline: May 15th (passed)
- Papers Track author Notification: June 19th
- Papers track camera Ready: July 3rd
- Performances Track Submission Deadline: August 1 (open) - notification to take place on a rolling basis.
- Workshop: August 28th
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE
For original papers and demos, the official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
All presentations at FARM 2020 will be recorded. Permission to publish the resulting video (in all probability on YouTube, along with the videos of ICFP itself and the other ICFP-colocated events) will be requested on-site.
FINANCES
If you would have financial difficulty attending, you can apply for conference "PAC" funds. Please get in touch for more information.
