================================================================================ IFL 2021 33rd Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages venue: online 1 - 3 September 2021 https://ifl21.cs.ru.nl https://ifl21-publicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1NdKhGOLpmlYX_0BVua0V5yyanFkJBhfIIDW1X2vaVQE-0&key=YAMMID-01546514&link=https%3A%2F%2Fifl21.cs.ru.nl ================================================================================ Scope The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2021 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming. Industrial track and topics of interest This year's edition of IFL explicitly solicits original work concerning *applications* of functional programming in industry and academia. These contributions will be reviewed by experts with an industrial background. Topics of interest to IFL include, but are not limited to: * language concepts * type systems, type checking, type inferencing * compilation techniques * staged compilation * run-time function specialisation * run-time code generation * partial evaluation * (abstract) interpretation * meta-programming * generic programming * automatic program generation * array processing * concurrent/parallel programming * concurrent/parallel program execution * embedded systems * web applications * (embedded) domain-specific languages * security * novel memory management techniques * run-time profiling performance measurements * debugging and tracing * testing and proofing * virtual/abstract machine architectures * validation, verification of functional programs * tools and programming techniques * applications of functional programming in the industry, including ** functional programming techniques for large applications ** successes of the application functional programming ** challenges for functional programming encountered ** any topic related to the application of functional programming that is interesting for the IFL community Post-symposium peer-review Following IFL tradition, IFL 2021 will use a post-symposium review process to produce the formal proceedings. Before the symposium authors submit draft papers. These draft papers will be screened by the program chairs to make sure that they are within the scope of IFL. The draft papers will be made available to all participants at the symposium. Each draft paper is presented by one of the authors at the symposium. After the symposium every presenter is invited to submit a full paper, incorporating feedback from discussions at the symposium. Work submitted to IFL may not be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy. The program committee will evaluate these submissions according to their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity, and will thereby determine whether the paper is accepted or rejected for the formal proceedings. We plan to publish these proceedings in the International Conference Proceedings Series of the ACM Digital Library, as in previous years. Moreover, the proceedings will also be made publicly available as open access. Important dates Submission deadline of draft papers: 17 August 2021 Notification of acceptance for presentation: 19 August 2021 Registration deadline: 30 August 2021 IFL Symposium: 1-3 September 2021 Submission of papers for proceedings: 6 December 2021 Notification of acceptance: 3 February 2022 Camera-ready version: 15 March 2022 ### Submission details All contributions must be written in English. Papers must use the ACM two columns conference format, which can be found at: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template https://ifl21-publicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1NdKhGOLpmlYX_0BVua0V5yyanFkJBhfIIDW1X2vaVQE-0&key=YAMMID-01546514&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.acm.org%2Fpublications%2Fproceedings-template Peter Landin Prize The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the symposium every year. The honoured article is selected by the program committee based on the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros.
