    Submissions on functional programming are very welcome at BOB!

    ================================================================================
    BOB Conference 2022
    "What happens when we use what's best for a change?"
    http://bobkonf.de/2022/cfc.html
    Berlin, Mar 11
    Call for Contributions
    Deadline: December 6, 2021 ================================================================================

    You are actively engaged in advanced software engineering methods,
    solve ambitious problem with software and are open to cutting-edge
    innovation? Attend this conference, meet people that share your goals,
    and get to know the best software tools and technologies available
    today. We strive to offer a day full of new experiences and
    impressions that you can use to immediately improve your daily life as
    a software developer.

    If you share our vision and want to contribute, submit a proposal for
    a talk or tutorial!

    NOTE: The conference fee will be waived for presenters. Travel
    expenses will not be covered (for exceptions see "Speaker Grants").

    Online or Onsite
    ----------------

    We expect we'll be able to hold BOB 2022 in Berlin. If that is not
    possible, we'll make BOB a successful online event, like BOB
    2021. Should BOB happen online, we will likely ask for pre-recorded
    talks to make room for questions and social interactions during the
    actual conference day. (Of course, we'll provide assistance making
    those recordings.) Tutorials will likely happen as a live-session.

    Shepherding
    -----------

    The program committee offers shepherding to all speakers. Shepherding
    provides speakers assistance with preparing their
    sessions. Specifically:

    - advice on structure and presentation
    - review of talk slides
    - assistance with recording
    - review of recording, if applicable

    Speaker Grants
    --------------

    BOB has Speaker Grants available to support speakers from groups under-represented in technology. We specifically seek women speakers,
    speakers of color, and speakers who are not able to attend the
    conference for financial reasons.

    Topics
    ------

    We are looking for talks about best-of-breed software technology, e.g.:

    - functional programming
    - persistent data structures and databases
    - event-based modelling and architecture
    - "fancy types" (dependent types, gradual typing, linear types, ...)
    - formal methods for correctness and robustness
    - abstractions for concurrency and parallelism
    - metaprogramming
    - probabilistic programming
    - math and programming
    - controlled side effects
    - program synthesis
    - next-generation IDEs
    - effective abstractions for data analytics
    - … everything really that isn’t mainstream, but you think should be.

    Presenters should provide the audience with information that is
    practically useful for software developers.

    Challenges
    ----------

    Furthermore, we seek contributions on successful approaches for
    solving hard problems, for example:

    - bias in machine-learning systems
    - digital transformation in difficult settings
    - accessibiltity
    - systems with critical reliability requirements
    - ecologically sustainable software development

    We're especially interested in experience reports.
    Other topics are also relevant, e.g.:

    - introductory talks on technical background
    - overviews of a given field
    - demos and how-tos

    Requirements
    ------------

    We accept proposals for presentations of 45 minutes (40 minutes talk +
    5 minutes questions), as well as 90 minute tutorials for
    beginners. The language of presentation should be either English or
    German.

    Your proposal should include (in your presentation language of choice):

    - An abstract of max. 1500 characters.
    - A short bio/cv
    - Contact information (including at least email address)
    - A list of 3-5 concrete ideas of how your work can be applied in a developer's daily life
    - additional material (websites, blogs, slides, videos of past presentations, …)
    - Don't be confused: The system calls a submission event.

    Organisation
    ------------

    - Direct questions to contact at bobkonf dot de
    - Proposal deadline: December 6, 2021
    - Notification: December 17, 2021
    - Program: December 22, 2021
