consumer-goods companies in the world.
Leuven's Town Hall is one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide and
Leuven's pride and joy. It took three architects and thirty years to build
it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236 statues, which were only added to
the façade after 1850. There are 220 men and 16 women in total. On the
bottom floor are famous Leuven scientists, artists and historical figures,
dressed in Burgundian garb. The first floor is reserved for the patron
saints of the various parishes of Leuven. The facade is adorned by the
counts and dukes of Brabant while the towers primarily feature biblical

Submissions will be (single-blindly) reviewed by at least three members of the programme committee, who are experts in the field.
The acceptance of the submitted papers will depend on their quality, relevance, and originality.
To conduct this process, the chairs will rely on easychair to make the reviewing procedure traceable, transparent and accessible.
In the case of accepted papers characterized by relevant demands (e.g., clarifications, changes, corrections) set by the reviewers,
the final acceptance will be subject to their accomplishment.
Accepted papers will be published in the Springer post-proceedings Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI).
Participants are therefore invited to submit papers up to 16 pages in length (4 pages + 1 page reference for demo papers), addressing the topics of the workshop.
Papers must be edited using the LNCS format (applying the LNCS post-proceedings template) and have to be submitted electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair submission page.
Papers can either be:
-Full papers (max. 16 pages LNCS style).
-Demo papers (max. 4 pages LNCS style + 1 page references).
Demo papers should describe implementations of explainable agents and multi-agent systems or explainable AI methods and algorithms that are applicable to explainable agents.
The work presented in the demo paper should be practically applicable.
The source code of the implementation should be shared, for example by providing a web link.
The maximal length of a demo paper is 4 pages plus 1 page for references.
Demos will be presented in a similar manner as ordinary papers; however, a demo presentation should be interactive and ideally show the running implementation "live".
----------------------------------------------
Post-proceedings
================
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers.
Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.
In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form.
The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper.
Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

the province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25
kilometres (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest municipality
in Belgium and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to the Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university of the Low Countries
and the oldest Catholic university still in existence. The related
university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the largest hospitals in
Europe. The city is also known for being the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch
InBev, the world's largest brewer and one of the five largest
consumer-goods companies in the world.
Leuven's Town Hall is one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide and
Leuven's pride and joy. It took three architects and thirty years to build
it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236 statues, which were only added to
the façade after 1850. There are 220 men and 16 women in total. On the
bottom floor are famous Leuven scientists, artists and historical figures,
dressed in Burgundian garb. The first floor is reserved for the patron
saints of the various parishes of Leuven. The facade is adorned by the
counts and dukes of Brabant while the towers primarily feature biblical
figures.

ACM SIGPLAN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Haskell Symposium 2020
New Jersey, United States
27--28 August, 2020
http://www.haskell.org/haskell-symposium/2020/
================================================================================
The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2020 will be co-located with the 2020
International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP).
Like last year, we will be using a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
See further information below.
The Haskell Symposium presents original research on Haskell,
discusses practical experience and future development of the language, and
promotes other forms of declarative programming.
Topics of interest include:
* Language design, with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of
Haskell as well as critical discussions of the status quo;
* Theory, such as formal semantics of the present language or future
extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and foundations for
program analysis and transformation;
* Implementations, including program analysis and transformation,
static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed
architectures, memory management, as well as foreign function and
component interfaces;
* Libraries, that demonstrate new ideas or techniques for functional
programming in Haskell;
* Tools, such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors,
and testing tools;
* Applications, to scientific and symbolic computing, databases, multimedia,
telecommunication, the web, and so forth;
* Functional Pearls, being elegant and instructive programming examples;
* Experience Reports, to document general practice and experience in
education, industry, or other contexts;
* System Demonstrations, based on running software rather than novel
research results.
Regular papers should explain their research contributions in both general and
technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and relating it to previous work, and to other languages where
appropriate.
Experience reports and functional pearls need not necessarily report original
academic research results. For example, they may instead report reusable
programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or practical experience
that will be useful to other users, implementers, or researchers. The key
criterion for such a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other
Haskellers can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a standard solution
to a standard programming problem, or report on experience where you used
Haskell in the standard way and achieved the result you were expecting.
System demonstrations should summarize the system capabilities that would be
demonstrated. The proposals will be judged on whether the ensuing session is
likely to be important and interesting to the Haskell community at large,
whether on grounds academic or industrial, theoretical or practical, technical,
social or artistic. Please contact the program chair with any questions about
the relevance of a proposal.
Submission Details
==================
Early and Regular Track
-----------------------
The Haskell Symposium uses a two-track submission process so that some papers
can gain early feedback. Strong papers submitted to the early track are
accepted outright, and the others will be given their reviews and invited to
resubmit to the regular track. Papers accepted via the early and regular
tracks are considered of equal value and will not be distinguished in the
proceedings. Although all papers may be submitted to the early track, authors
of functional pearls and experience reports are particularly encouraged to use
this mechanism. The success of these papers depends heavily on the way they
are presented, and submitting early will give the program committee a chance
to provide feedback and help draw out the key ideas.
Formatting
----------
Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using
the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Authors should use the `acmart` format, with
the `sigplan` sub-format for ACM proceedings. For details, see:
http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format
It is recommended to use the `review` option when submitting a paper; this option
enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews.
Functional pearls, experience reports, and demo proposals should be
labelled clearly as such.
Lightweight Double-blind Reviewing
----------------------------------
Haskell Symposium 2020 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules:
1. Author names and institutions must be omitted, and
2. References to authors’ own related work should be in the third person
(e.g., not “We build on our previous work …” but rather “We build on the work of …”).
The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial
judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to
discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name
of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the
paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be
omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For
instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on
their research ideas.
A reviewer will learn the identity of the author(s) of a paper after a review
is submitted.
Page Limits
-----------
The length of submissions should not exceed the following limits:
Regular paper: 12 pages
Functional pearl: 12 pages
Experience report: 6 pages
Demo proposal: 2 pages
There is no requirement that all pages are used. For example, a
functional pearl may be much shorter than 12 pages. In all cases,
the list of references is not counted against these page limits.
Deadlines
---------
Early track:
Submission deadline: 20 March 2020 (Fri)
Notification: 24 April 2020 (Fri)
Regular track and demos:
Submission deadline: 15 May 2020 (Fri)
Notification: 26 June 2020 (Fri)
Deadlines are valid anywhere on Earth.
Submission
----------
Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy
(http://sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) and authors
should be aware of ACM's policies on plagiarism
(https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism)
Program Committee members are allowed to submit papers, but their papers will
be held to a higher standard.
The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm.
There will be no extensions, and papers violating the length
limitations will be summarily rejected.
Papers should be submitted through HotCRP at:
https://haskell20.hotcrp.com/
Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the
submission deadline using the same web interface.
Supplementary material: Authors have the option to attach supplementary
material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not
to look at it. This supplementary material should not be submitted as part of
the main document; instead, it should be uploaded as a separate PDF document
or tarball.
Supplementary material should be uploaded at submission time, not by providing
a URL in the paper that points to an external repository.
Authors are free to upload both anonymized and non-anonymized supplementary
material. Anonymized supplementary material will be visible to reviewers
immediately; non-anonymized supplementary material will be revealed to
reviewers only after they have submitted their review of the paper and learned
the identity of the author(s).
Resubmitted Papers: Authors who submit a revised version of a paper that has
previously been rejected by another conference have the option to attach an
annotated copy of the reviews of their previous submission(s), explaining how
they have addressed these previous reviews in the present submission. If a
reviewer identifies him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and
wishes to see how his/her comments have been addressed, the principal editor
will communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous
review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of the previous
reviews.
Travel Support
==============
Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to
help cover travel expenses. PAC also offers other support, such as for
child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of
SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from
locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC program,
see its web page (http://pac.sigplan.org)
Proceedings
===========
Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Their authors
will be required to choose one of the following options:
- Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive
permission-to-publish license (and, optionally, licenses the work with a
Creative Commons license);
- Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive
permssion-to-publish license;
- Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM.
For more information, please see ACM Copyright Policy
(http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy) and ACM Author
Rights (http://authors.acm.org/main.html)
Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the
symposium website but not formally published in the proceedings.
Publication date: The official publication date of accepted papers is
the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital
Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the
conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any
patent filings related to published work.
Artifacts
=========
Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make auxiliary material (artifacts
like source code, test data, etc.) available with their paper. They can opt to
have these artifacts published alongside their paper in the ACM Digital Library
(copyright of artifacts remains with the authors).
If an accepted paper's artifacts are made permanently available for retrieval in a
publicly accessible archival repository like the ACM Digital Library, that paper
qualifies for an Artifacts Available badge
(https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging#available)
Applications for such a badge can be made after paper acceptance and will be
reviewed by the PC chair.

university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the largest hospitals in
Europe. The city is also known for being the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch
InBev, the world's largest brewer and one of the five largest
consumer-goods companies in the world.
Leuven's Town Hall is one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide and
Leuven's pride and joy. It took three architects and thirty years to build
it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236 statues, which were only added to
the façade after 1850. There are 220 men and 16 women in total. On the
bottom floor are famous Leuven scientists, artists and historical figures,
dressed in Burgundian garb. The first floor is reserved for the patron
saints of the various parishes of Leuven. The facade is adorned by the
counts and dukes of Brabant while the towers primarily feature biblical
figures.

### About PACMPL
Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages (PACMPL
<https://pacmpl.acm.org/>) is a Gold Open Access journal publishing
research on all aspects of programming languages, from design to
implementation and from mathematical formalisms to empirical
studies. Each issue of the journal is devoted to a particular subject
area within programming languages and will be announced through
publicized Calls for Papers, like this one.
### Scope
[PACMPL](https://pacmpl.acm.org/) issue ICFP 2020 seeks original
papers on the art and science of functional programming. Submissions
are invited on all topics from principles to practice, from
foundations to features, and from abstraction to application. The
scope includes all languages that encourage functional programming,
including both purely applicative and imperative languages, as well as
languages with objects, concurrency, or parallelism. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):
* Language Design: concurrency, parallelism, and distribution;
modules; components and composition; metaprogramming; macros;
pattern matching; type systems; type inference; dependent types;
session types; gradual typing; refinement types; interoperability;
domain-specific languages; imperative programming; object-oriented
programming; logic programming; probabilistic programming;
reactive programming; generic programming; bidirectional
programming.
* Implementation: abstract machines; virtual machines;
interpretation; compilation; compile-time and run-time
optimization; garbage collection and memory management; runtime
systems; multi-threading; exploiting parallel hardware; interfaces
to foreign functions, services, components, or low-level machine
resources.
* Software-Development Techniques: algorithms and data structures;
design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof
assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling; build systems;
program synthesis.
* Foundations: formal semantics; lambda calculus; program
equivalence; rewriting; type theory; logic; category theory;
monads; continuations; control; state; effects; names and binding;
program verification.
* Analysis and Transformation: control flow; data flow; abstract
interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation.
* Applications: symbolic computing; formal-methods tools; artificial
intelligence; systems programming; distributed systems and web
programming; hardware design; databases; XML processing;
scientific and numerical computing; graphical user interfaces;
graphics and multimedia; GPU programming; scripting; system
administration; security.
* Education: teaching introductory programming; parallel
programming; mathematical proof; algebra.
Submissions will be evaluated according to their relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. Each submission
should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms,
clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and comparing it with previous work. The technical
content should be accessible to a broad audience.
PACMPL issue ICFP 2020 also welcomes submissions in two separate
categories — Functional Pearls and Experience Reports — that must be
marked as such when submitted and that need not report original
research results. Detailed guidelines on both categories are given at
the end of this call.
Please contact the principal editor if you have questions or are
concerned about the appropriateness of a topic.
### Preparation of submissions
**Deadline**: The deadline for submissions is **Tuesday, March 3, 2020**,
Anywhere on Earth (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>).
This deadline will be strictly enforced.
**Formatting**: Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black
and white on US Letter sized paper, and interpretable by common PDF
tools. All submissions must adhere to the "ACM Small" template that is
available (in both LaTeX and Word formats) from
<https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions>. For authors
using LaTeX, a lighter-weight package, including only the essential
files, is available from
<http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format>.
There is a limit of **25 pages for a full paper or Functional Pearl**
and **12 pages for an Experience Report**; in either case, the
bibliography will not be counted against these limits. Submissions
that exceed the page limits or, for other reasons, do not meet the
requirements for formatting, will be summarily rejected. Supplementary
material can and should be **separately** submitted (see below).
See also PACMPL's Information and Guidelines for Authors at
<https://pacmpl.acm.org/authors.cfm>.
**Submission**: Submissions will be accepted at <https://icfp20.hotcrp.com/>
Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the
submission deadline using the same web interface.
**Author Response Period**: Authors will have a 72-hour period,
starting at 14:00 UTC on **Tuesday, April 21, 2020**, to read reviews
and respond to them.
**Supplementary Material**: Authors have the option to attach
supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that
reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material
should **not** be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it
should be uploaded as a **separate** PDF document or tarball.
Supplementary material should be uploaded **at submission time**, not
by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository.
Authors are free to upload both anonymized and non-anonymized
supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be
visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary
material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted
their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s).
**Authorship Policies**: All submissions are expected to comply with
the ACM Policies for Authorship that are detailed at
<https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors>.
**Republication Policies**: Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's
republication policy, as explained on the web at
<http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication>.
### Review Process
This section outlines the two-stage process with lightweight
double-blind reviewing that will be used to select papers for PACMPL
issue ICFP 2020. We anticipate that there will be a need to clarify
and expand on this process, and we will maintain a list of frequently
asked questions and answers on the conference website to address
common concerns.
**PACMPL issue ICFP 2020 will employ a two-stage review process.** The
first stage in the review process will assess submitted papers using
the criteria stated above and will allow for feedback and input on
initial reviews through the author response period mentioned
previously. At the review meeting, a set of papers will be
conditionally accepted and all other papers will be rejected.
Authors will be notified of these decisions on **May 8, 2020**.
Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be provided with
committee reviews (just as in previous conferences) along with a set
of mandatory revisions. After four weeks (June 5, 2020), the authors
will provide a second submission. The second and final reviewing phase
assesses whether the mandatory revisions have been adequately
addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final
accept/reject status of the paper. The intent and expectation is that
the mandatory revisions can be addressed within four weeks and hence
that conditionally accepted papers will in general be accepted in the
second phase.
The second submission should clearly identify how the mandatory
revisions were addressed. To that end, the second submission must be
accompanied by a cover letter mapping each mandatory revision request
to specific parts of the paper. The cover letter will facilitate a
quick second review, allowing for confirmation of final acceptance
within two weeks. Conversely, the absence of a cover letter will be
grounds for the paper’s rejection.
**PACMPL issue ICFP 2020 will employ a lightweight double-blind
reviewing process.** To facilitate this, submitted papers must
adhere to two rules:
1. **author names and institutions must be omitted**, and
2. **references to authors' own related work should be in the third
person** (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather
"We build on the work of ...").
The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an
initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it
impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to
try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult
(e.g., important background references should not be omitted or
anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally
would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the
web or give talks on their research ideas.
### Information for Authors of Accepted Papers
* As a condition of acceptance, final versions of all papers must
adhere to the new ACM Small format. The page limit for the final
versions of papers will be increased by two pages to help authors
respond to reviewer comments and mandatory revisions: **27 pages
plus bibliography for a regular paper or Functional Pearl, 14 pages
plus bibliography for an Experience Report**.
* Authors of accepted submissions will be required to agree to one of
the three ACM licensing options: open access on payment of a fee
(**recommended**, and SIGPLAN can cover the cost as described next);
copyright transfer to ACM; or retaining copyright but granting ACM
exclusive publication rights. Further information about ACM author
rights is available from <http://authors.acm.org>.
* PACMPL is a Gold Open Access journal. It will be archived in ACM’s
Digital Library, but no membership or fee is required for
access. Gold Open Access has been made possible by generous funding
through ACM SIGPLAN, which will cover all open access costs in the
event authors cannot. Authors who can cover the costs may do so by
paying an Article Processing Charge (APC). PACMPL, SIGPLAN, and ACM
Headquarters are committed to exploring routes to making Gold Open
Access publication both affordable and sustainable.
* ACM offers authors a range of copyright options, one of which is
Creative Commons CC-BY publication; this is the option recommended
by the PACMPL editorial board. A reasoned argument in favour of this
option can be found in the article [Why
CC-BY?](https://oaspa.org/why-cc-by/) published by OASPA, the Open
Access Scholarly Publishers Association.
* We intend that the papers will be freely available for download from
the ACM Digital Library in perpetuity via the OpenTOC mechanism.
* ACM Author-Izer is a unique service that enables ACM authors to
generate and post links on either their home page or institutional
repository for visitors to download the definitive version of their
articles from the ACM Digital Library at no charge. Downloads
through Author-Izer links are captured in official ACM statistics,
improving the accuracy of usage and impact
measurements. Consistently linking to the definitive version of an
ACM article should reduce user confusion over article
versioning. After an article has been published and assigned to the
appropriate ACM Author Profile pages, authors should visit
<http://www.acm.org/publications/acm-author-izer-service> to learn
how to create links for free downloads from the ACM DL.
* The official publication date is the date the papers are made
available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to *two
weeks prior* to the first day of the conference. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related
to published work.
* At least one author of each accepted submission will be expected to
attend and present that paper at the conference. The schedule for
presentations will be determined and shared with authors after the
full program has been selected. Presentations will be videotaped and
released online if the presenter consents.
In extraordinary circumstances, at the discretion of the principal
editor, alternative presentation methods may be approved for
specific papers. The canonical example is where all authors are
denied visas to the ICFP host country, in which case a nonauthor may
be deputized to present, or various electronic substitutes may be
considered. We list these options in the interest of transparency,
but please keep in mind that, most years, no exceptions are
granted. This option is not meant, e.g., to excuse cases where
authors find themselves double-booked with other meetings (so, at
the time of submitting a paper, please do keep the days of the
conference reserved on at least one author’s calendar).
### Artifact Evaluation
Authors of papers that are conditionally accepted in the first phase
of the review process will be encouraged (but not required) to submit
supporting materials for Artifact Evaluation. These items will then be
reviewed by an Artifact Evaluation Committee, separate from the paper
Review Committee, whose task is to assess how the artifacts support
the work described in the associated paper. Papers that go through the
Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of
approval printed on the papers themselves. Authors of accepted papers
will be encouraged to make the supporting materials publicly available
upon publication of the papers, for example, by including them as
"source materials" in the ACM Digital Library. An additional seal
will mark papers whose artifacts are made available, as outlined in
the ACM guidelines for artifact badging.
Participation in Artifact Evaluation is voluntary and will not
influence the final decision regarding paper acceptance.
### Special categories of papers
In addition to research papers, PACMPL issue ICFP solicits two kinds
of papers that do not require original research contributions:
Functional Pearls, which are full papers, and Experience Reports,
which are limited to half the length of a full paper. Authors
submitting such papers should consider the following guidelines.
#### Functional Pearls
A Functional Pearl is an elegant essay about something related to
functional programming. Examples include, but are not limited to:
* a new and thought-provoking way of looking at an old idea
* an instructive example of program calculation or proof
* a nifty presentation of an old or new data structure
* an interesting application of functional programming techniques
* a novel use or exposition of functional programming in the classroom
While pearls often demonstrate an idea through the development of a
short program, there is no requirement or expectation that they do
so. Thus, they encompass the notions of theoretical and educational
pearls.
Functional Pearls are valued as highly and judged as rigorously as
ordinary papers, but using somewhat different criteria. In particular,
a pearl is not required to report original research, but, it should be
concise, instructive, and entertaining. A pearl is likely to be
rejected if its readers get bored, if the material gets too
complicated, if too much specialized knowledge is needed, or if the
writing is inelegant. The key to writing a good pearl is polishing.
A submission that is intended to be treated as a pearl must be marked
as such on the submission web page, and should contain the words
"Functional Pearl" somewhere in its title or subtitle. These steps
will alert reviewers to use the appropriate evaluation
criteria. Pearls will be combined with ordinary papers, however, for
the purpose of computing the conference's acceptance rate.
#### Experience Reports
The purpose of an Experience Report is to help create a body of
published, refereed, citable evidence that functional programming
really works -- or to describe what obstacles prevent it from
working.
Possible topics for an Experience Report include, but are not limited to:
* insights gained from real-world projects using functional programming
* comparison of functional programming with conventional programming
in the context of an industrial project or a university curriculum
* project-management, business, or legal issues encountered when
using functional programming in a real-world project
* curricular issues encountered when using functional programming in
education
* real-world constraints that created special challenges for an
implementation of a functional language or for functional
programming in general
An Experience Report is distinguished from a normal PACMPL issue ICFP
paper by its title, by its length, and by the criteria used to
evaluate it.
* Both in the papers and in any citations, the title of each
accepted Experience Report must end with the words "(Experience
Report)" in parentheses. The acceptance rate for Experience
Reports will be computed and reported separately from the rate for
ordinary papers.
* Experience Report submissions can be at most 12 pages long,
excluding bibliography.
* Each accepted Experience Report will be presented at the
conference, but depending on the number of Experience Reports and
regular papers accepted, authors of Experience reports may be
asked to give shorter talks.
* Because the purpose of Experience Reports is to enable our
community to accumulate a body of evidence about the efficacy of
functional programming, an acceptable Experience Report need not
add to the body of knowledge of the functional-programming
community by presenting novel results or conclusions. It is
sufficient if the Report states a clear thesis and provides
supporting evidence. The thesis must be relevant to ICFP, but it
need not be novel.
The review committee will accept or reject Experience Reports based on
whether they judge the evidence to be convincing. Anecdotal evidence
will be acceptable provided it is well argued and the author explains
what efforts were made to gather as much evidence as
possible. Typically, more convincing evidence is obtained from papers
which show how functional programming was used than from papers which
only say that functional programming was used. The most convincing
evidence often includes comparisons of situations before and after the
introduction or discontinuation of functional programming. Evidence
drawn from a single person's experience may be sufficient, but more
weight will be given to evidence drawn from the experience of groups
of people.
An Experience Report should be short and to the point: it should make
a claim about how well functional programming worked on a particular
project and why, and produce evidence to substantiate this claim. If
functional programming worked in this case in the same ways it has
worked for others, the paper need only summarize the results —
the main part of the paper should discuss how well it worked and in
what context. Most readers will not want to know all the details of
the project and its implementation, but the paper should characterize
the project and its context well enough so that readers can judge to
what degree this experience is relevant to their own projects. The
paper should take care to highlight any unusual aspects of the
project. Specifics about the project are more valuable than
generalities about functional programming; for example, it is more
valuable to say that the team delivered its software a month ahead of
schedule than it is to say that functional programming made the team
more productive.
If the paper not only describes experience but also presents new
technical results, or if the experience refutes cherished beliefs of
the functional-programming community, it may be better to submit it as
a full paper, which will be judged by the usual criteria of novelty,
originality, and relevance. The principal editor will be happy to
advise on any concerns about which category to submit to.
