********************************************************************** Announcement and Call for Papers for the 19th International Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages IFL 2007 27th-29th September 2007, Freiburg, Germany co-located with ICFP 2007 http://proglang.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/IFL2007/ ********************************************************************** The aim of the IFL symposium is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. The symposium provides 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 * (abstract) interpretation * generic programming techniques * automatic program generation * array processing * concurrent/parallel programming * concurrent/parallel program execution * heap management * runtime profiling * performance measurements * debugging and tracing * (abstract) machine architectures * verification * formal aspects * tools and programming techniques Papers on applications or tools demonstrating the suitability of novel ideas in any of the above areas and contributions on related theoretical work are also welcome. The change of the symposium name adding the term "application", introduced in 2004, reflects the broader scope IFL has gained over the years. Contributions Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers to be published in the draft proceedings and present them at the symposium. All contributions must be written in English, conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS series format and not exceed 16 pages. The draft proceedings will appear as a technical report. Every attendee of IFL 2007 will have the opportunity to submit a revised version of their paper for post-symposium reviewing. As in previous years, selected papers will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series.
