CALL FOR PAPERS
Trends in Functional Programming 2007
New York, USA
April 2-4, 2007
http://cs.shu.edu/tfp2007/
The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an
international forum
for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming
languages,
focusing on providing a broad view of current and future trends in
Functional
Programming. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the
latest
research results through acceptance by extended abstracts. A formal
post-symposium
refereeing process then selects the best articles presented at the
symposium for
publication in a high-profile volume.
TFP 2007 is co-hosted by Seton Hall University and The City College of New
York (CCNY)
and will be held in New York, USA, April 2-4, 2007 at the CCNY campus.
The TFP symposium is the successor to the successful series of Scottish
Functional
Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in Edinburgh,
Scotland in
2003 (co-located with IFL), in Munich, Germany in 2004, in Tallinn,
Estonia in 2005
(co-located with ICFP and GPCE), and in Nottingham, UK in 2006
(co-located with Types). For further general information about TFP please
see the
TFP homepage at http://cs.shu.edu/tfp2007/ .
SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM
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 article
categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these
categories:
Research Articles leading-edge, previously unpublished
research work
Position Articles on what new trends should or should not
be
Project Articles descriptions of recently started new
projects
Evaluation Articles what lessons can be drawn from a
finished project
Overview Articles summarizing work with respect to a trendy
subject
Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication
to any other
forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming:
theoretical,
implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented. Applications of
functional
programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the
symposium.
Articles on the following subject areas are particularly welcomed:
o Dependently Typed Functional Programming
o Validation and Verification of Functional Programs
o Debugging for Functional Languages
o Functional Programming and Security
o Functional Programming and Mobility
o Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement Systems from
Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications
o Functional Languages for Telecommunications Applications
o Functional Languages for Embedded Systems
o Functional Programming Applied to Global Computing
o Functional GRIDs
o Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative or Object-Oriented
Settings (and the converse)
o Interoperability with Imperative Programming Languages
o Novel Memory Management Techniques
o Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages
o Program Transformation Techniques
o Empirical Performance Studies
o Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers for Functional Languages
o New Implementation Strategies
o any new emerging trend in the functional programming area
If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP,
please contact
the TFP 2007 program chair, Marco T. Morazan, at tfp2007 at shu.edu.
BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students,
acknowledging that
students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A prize for
the best
student paper is awarded each year.
SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS
Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the
review of
extended abstracts (6 to 10 pages in length) by the program committee.
Accepted
abstracts are to be completed to full papers before the symposium for
publication in
the draft proceedings and on-line.
The submission must clearly indicate to which category it belongs to:
research, position,
project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate whether
the main author
or authors are research students. Formatting details can be found at the
TFP 2007 website.
Submission procedures will be posted on the TFP 2007 website as the
submission deadline is
reached.
The papers in the draft proceedings will also be made available on-line
under the following
conditions, with which all authors are asked to agree:
The documents distributed by this server have been provided by the
contributing authors as a means to ensure timely dissemination of
scholarly and technical work on a noncommercial basis. Copyright and
all rights therein are maintained by the authors or by other
copyright holders, notwithstanding that they have offered their
works here electronically. It is understood that all persons copying
this information will adhere to the terms and constraints invoked by
each author's copyright. These works may not be reposted without the
explicit permission of the copyright holder.
POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION
In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we intend to continue the
TFP tradition of
publishing a high-quality subset of contributions in the Intellect series
on Trends in
Functional Programming. All TFP authors will be invited to submit revised
papers after the
symposium. These will be refereed using normal conference standards and a
subset of the best
papers, over all categories, will be selected for publication. Papers will
be judged on their
contribution to the research area with appropriate criteria applied to
each category of paper.
Student papers will be given extra feedback by the Program Committee in
order to assist those
unfamiliar with the publication process.

We are actively looking for additional TFP sponsors, who may, for example,
help to
subsidise attendance by research students. If you or your organisation
might be
willing to sponsor TFP, or if you know someone who might be willing to do
so, please
do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair, Marco T. Morazan, or the
Symposium Chair,
Henrik Nilsson. Your students will be grateful!
