The abstracts are made freely available on the JFP website, i.e. not behind any paywall. They do not require any transfer of copyright, merely a license from the author. A dissertation is eligible for inclusion if parts of it have or could have appeared in JFP, that is, if it is in the general area of functional programming. The abstracts are not reviewed. Please submit dissertation abstracts according to the instructions below. We welcome submissions from both the PhD student and PhD advisor/supervisor although we encourage them to coordinate. ============================================================ SUBMISSION: Please submit the following information to Graham Hutton by 31st October 2017. o Dissertation title: (including any subtitle) o Student: (full name) o Awarding institution: (full name and country) o Date of PhD award: (month and year; depending on the institution, this may be the date of the viva, corrections being approved, graduation ceremony, or otherwise) o Advisor/supervisor: (full names) o Dissertation URL: (please provide a permanently accessible link to the dissertation if you have one, such as to an institutional repository or other public archive; links to personal web pages should be considered a last resort) o Dissertation abstract: (plain text, maximum 1000 words; you may use \emph{...} for emphasis, but we prefer no other markup or formatting in the abstract, but do get in touch if this causes significant problems) Please do not submit a copy of the dissertation itself, as this is not required.
