Dear colleagues, just a reminder that the registration deadline for IFL'05 is fast approaching (7th Aug.) - see https://www.cs.tcd.ie/ifl05/registration.php for details = Call for Papers/Participation = Announcement and Call for Papers for the 17th International Workshop on the Implementation and Application of Functional Languages (IFL'05) September 19th-21st, 2005, Dublin, Ireland. Website: http://www.cs.tcd.ie/ifl05 E-mail: ifl05@cs.tcd.ie == Scope and Topics == The IFL workshops form a tradition that has lasted for nearly two decades. 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 * type checking * compilation techniques * generic programming techniques * (abstract) interpretation * automatic program generation * (abstract) machine architectures * formal aspects * array processing * concurrent/parallel programming * concurrent/parallel program execution * heap management * runtime profiling * performance measurements * debugging and tracing * verification * tools and programming techniques 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. == Contributions == Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers to be published in the draft proceedings (published as a technical report of the Department of Computer Science of the University of Dublin) and to give presentations at the workshop. All contributions must be written in English, conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS series format, and not exceed 16 pages. http://www.springer.de/comp/authors/index.html or http://www.springeronline.com/ sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html Papers must be submitted by August 26th as postscript or pdf files through the workshop web page at http://www.cs.tcd.ie/ifl05/. All participants who give presentations at the workshop are invited to submit revised versions of their papers for the post-workshop proceedings. They will be refereed by the program committee according to normal conference standards, and will be published by Springer as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. === Programme Committee ===== * Matthias Blume, Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, USA * Andrew Butterfield, /(Chair)/ Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. * Clemens Grelck, University of Lübeck, Germany. * Zoltán Horváth, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary. * Frank Huch, University of Kiel, Germany. * Joe Kiniry, National University of Ireland Dublin, Ireland. * Hans-Wolfgang Loidl, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Germany. * Frédéric Loulergue, University of Paris XII, Val de Marne, France. * Simon Marlow, Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK * Marco T.
