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 - (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 welcome. The change of the workshop name adding the term "application" 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 Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics of the University of Kiel) and to give presentations at the workshop. All contributions must be written in English, conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS series format (see: http://www.springer.de/comp/authors/index.html) and not exceed 16 pages. Papers must be submitted by August 20th as postscript or pdf files through the workshop web page at http://www.isp.uni-luebeck.de/ifl04/index.htm. Following the IFL tradition since 1996, a subset of high-quality contributions will be published by Springer-Verlag in the well-known Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. All participants who gave a presentation at the workshop are invited to submit a revised version of their paper for the post-workshop proceedings. They will be refereed by the program committee according to normal conference standards.
