Hello, Please, find below the second call for papers for IFL 2013. Please forward these to anyone you think may be interested. Apologies for any duplicates you may receive. best regards, Jurriaan Hage Publicity Chair of IFL CALL FOR PAPERS 25th SYMPOSIUM ON IMPLEMENTATION AND APPLICATION OF FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES - IFL 2013 RADBOUD UNIVERSITY NIJMEGEN, THE NETHERLANDS ACM In-Cooperation / ACM SIGPLAN AUGUST 28 - 30 2013 "Landgoed Holthurnsche Hof" http://ifl2013.cs.ru.nl We are proud to announce that the 25th edition of the IFL series returns to its roots at the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. The symposium is held from 28th to 30th of August 2013. 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 2013 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. Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2013 will use a post-symposium review process to produce the formal proceedings which will be published in the ACM Digital Library. All participants of IFL 2013 are invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium. At no time may work submitted to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication The submissions will be screened by the program committee chair to make sure they are within the scope of IFL, and will appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the symposium. Submissions appearing in the draft proceedings are not peer-reviewed publications. Hence, publications that appear only in the draft proceedings do not count as publication for the ACM SIGPLAN republication policy. After the symposium, authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full article for the formal review process. From the revised submissions, the program committee will select papers for the formal proceedings considering their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Invited Speaker --------------- Lennart Augustsson, currently employed by the Standard Chartered Bank, well-known for his work on Haskell, parallel Haskell, Cayenne, and Bluespec, is the invited speaker of IFL 2013. He will be talking about practical applications of functional programming. Submission Details ------------------ Submission deadline draft papers: July 31 Notification of acceptance for presentation: August 2 Early registration deadline: August 7 Late registration deadline: August 14 Submission deadline for pre-symposium proceedings: August 21 25th IFL Symposium: August 28-30 Submission deadline for post-symposium proceedings: November 11 Notification of acceptance for post-symposium proceedings: December 18 Camera-ready version for post-symposium proceedings: February 3 2014 Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers or extended abstracts to be published in the draft proceedings and to present them at the symposium. All contributions must be written in English. Papers must adhere to the standard ACM two columns conference format. For the pre-symposium proceedings we adopt a 'weak' page limit of 12 pages. For the post-symposium proceedings the page limit of 12 pages is firm. A suitable document template for LaTeX can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm Papers are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifl2013 Topics ------ IFL welcomes submissions describing practical and theoretical work as well as submissions describing applications and tools in the context of functional programming. If you are not sure whether your work is appropriate for IFL 2013, please contact the PC chair at rinus@cs.ru.nl. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: language concepts type systems, type checking, type inferencing compilation techniques staged compilation run-time function specialization run-time code generation partial evaluation (abstract) interpretation metaprogramming 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 virtual/abstract machine architectures validation, verification of functional programs tools and programming techniques (industrial) applications 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.
