Hello, Please, find below the third call for papers for IFL 2014. The submission page is now open. The submission date has been delayed to Sep. 8 2014 anywhere on the world. Please forward these to anyone you think may be interested. Apologies for any duplicates you may receive. best regards, Jurriaan Hage --- CALL FOR PAPERS 26th SYMPOSIUM ON IMPLEMENTATION AND APPLICATION OF FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES - IFL 2014 NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY/BOSTON, USA OCTOBER 1-3, 2014 http://ifl2014.github.io We are pleased to announce that the 26th edition of the IFL series will be held at Northeastern University in Boston, USA. The symposium will be held from 1st to 3rd of October 2014. Scope ----- The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2014 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming. Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2014 will use a post-symposium review process to produce the formal proceedings. All participants of IFL 2014 are invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium. At no time may work submitted to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication The submissions will be screened by the program committee chair to make sure they are within the scope of IFL, and will appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the symposium. Submissions appearing in the draft proceedings are not peer-reviewed publications. Hence, publications that appear only in the draft proceedings do not count as publication for the ACM SIGPLAN republication policy. After the symposium, authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full article for the formal review process. From the revised submissions, the program committee will select papers for the formal proceedings considering their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Submission Details ------------------ Submission deadline draft papers: September 8 Notification of acceptance for presentation: September 10 Early registration deadline: September 11 Late registration deadline: September 17 Submission deadline for pre-symposium proceedings: September 24 26th IFL Symposium: October 1-3 Submission deadline for post-symposium proceedings: December 15 Notification of acceptance for post-symposium proceedings: January 31 2015 Camera-ready version for post-symposium proceedings: March 15 2015 Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers or extended abstracts to be published in the draft proceedings and to present them at the symposium. All contributions must be written in English. Papers must adhere to the standard ACM two columns conference format. For the pre-symposium proceedings we adopt a 'weak' page limit of 12 pages. For the post-symposium proceedings the page limit of 12 pages is firm. A suitable document template for LaTeX can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm Papers should be submitted online at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifl2014 Topics ------ IFL welcomes submissions describing practical and theoretical work as well as submissions describing applications and tools in the context of functional programming. If you are not sure whether your work is appropriate for IFL 2014, please contact the PC chair at samth@cs.indiana.edu. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • language concepts • type systems, type checking, type inferencing • compilation techniques • staged compilation • run-time function specialization • run-time code generation • partial evaluation • (abstract) interpretation • metaprogramming • generic programming • automatic program generation • array processing • concurrent/parallel programming • concurrent/parallel program execution • embedded systems • web applications • (embedded) domain specific languages • security • novel memory management techniques • run-time profiling performance measurements • debugging and tracing • virtual/abstract machine architectures • validation, verification of functional programs • tools and programming techniques • (industrial) applications Peter Landin Prize ------------------ The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the symposium every year. The honoured article is selected by the program committee based on the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros.
