CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 13th International Symposium Trends in Functional Programming 2012 St Andrews, U.K. June 12-14, 2012 TFP12: http://www-fp.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/tifp/TFP2012/TFP_2012/Home.html Programme: http://www-fp.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/tifp/TFP2012/TFP_2012/TFP12_prg.txt Registration: http://tinyurl.com/7y5gpxc The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions (see below), described in draft papers submitted prior to the symposium. A formal post-symposium refereeing process then selects a subset of the articles presented at the symposium and submitted for formal publication. Selected papers will be published as a Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS: http://www.springer.com/lncs) volume. TFP 2012 will be the main event of a week of functional programming extravaganza at the University of St Andrews. The week will start with the International Workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education, followed by TFP, followed by a workshop on 75 years of Lambda Calculus, an Erlang day, and a technical workshop on Patterns for MultiCores (ParaPhrase/Release projects). The TFP symposium is the heir of the successful series of Scottish Functional Programming Workshops. Previous TFP symposia were held in Edinburgh (Scotland) in 2003, in Munich (Germany) in 2004, in Tallinn (Estonia) in 2005, in Nottingham (UK) in 2006, in New York (USA) in 2007, in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) in 2008, in Komarno (Slovakia) in 2009, in Oklahoma (USA) in 2010, and in Madrid (Spain) in 2011.
