============================================================ CALL FOR PHD ABSTRACTS Journal of Functional Programming Deadline: 30th April 2014 http://tinyurl.com/jfp-phd-abstracts ============================================================ PREAMBLE: Many students complete PhDs in functional programming each year, but there is currently no common location in which to promote and advertise the resulting work. The Journal of Functional Programming would like to change that! As a service to the community, JFP is launching a new feature, in the form of a yearly publication of abstracts from PhD dissertations that were completed during the previous year. To start this new feature off, we would like to reach back three years for the first round of abstracts. The abstracts will be freely available on the JFP website, i.e. not behind any paywall, and will not require any transfer for copyright, merely a license from the author. Please submit dissertation abstracts according to the instructions below. A dissertation is eligible if parts of it have or could appear in JFP, that is, if it is in the general area of functional programming. JFP will not have these abstracts reviewed. 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 30th April 2014. o Student: (full name) o Advisor/supervisor: (full names) o Dissertation title: (including any subtitle) 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) 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 Awarding institution: (full name and location) o Date of PhD award: (depending on the institution, this may be the date of the viva, date when corrections were approved, date of graduation ceremony, or otherwise) Please do not submit a copy of the dissertation itself, as this is not required. JFP reserves the right to decline to publish abstracts that are not deemed appropriate. ============================================================ PHD ABSTRACT EDITOR: Graham Hutton School of Computer Science University of Nottingham Nottingham NG8 1BB United Kindgdom ============================================================ This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
