The aim of these workshops is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. They provide an open forum for researchers who wish to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, preliminary results, etc. related primarily but not exclusively to the implementation and application of functional languages. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * language concepts * concurrent/parallel programming * type checking * concurrent/parallel program execution * compilation techniques * heap management * generic programming techniques * runtime profiling * (abstract) interpretation * performance measurements * automatic program generation * debugging and tracing * (abstract) machine architectures * verification * formal aspects * tools and programming techniques * array processing * demos of well working, useable tools and applications in functional languages Papers on applications demonstrating the suitability of novel ideas in any of the above areas and contributions on related theoretical work are also welcomed. The change of the workshop name adding the term "application", introduced in 2004, is to reflect the broader scope IFL has gained over recent years. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers to be published in the draft proceedings and to give presentations at the workshop. All contributions must be written in English, conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS series format. Attendees at IFL'06 will have an opportunity to submit a revised version of their paper for post-workshop reviewing. Selected papers will be published by Springer Verlag in the well-known Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series, as has been a long-standing tradition for the IFL Workshops.
