CALL FOR PAPERS
22nd Symposium on Implementation and Applications of Functional
Languages (IFL 2010)
September 1-3, 2010
Utrecht University
Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands
http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/bin/view/IFL2010/WebHome
After a first successful visit to the USA, the Symposium on
Implementation and Applications of Functional
Languages returns to Europe for its 22nd edition. The hosting
institution is Utrecht University in the
Netherlands, although the conference itself will take place in the
ornithological theme park Avifauna
in Alphen aan den Rijn, situated conveniently close to Schiphol
(Amsterdam Airport). The symposium dates
are September 1-3, 2010.
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 2010 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 2010 will use a post-symposium review
process to produce formal proceedings
which will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series. All participants in
IFL 2010 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. Here
we follow the ACM Sigplan republication policy as defined on http://www.sigplan.org/republicationpolicy.htm
.
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proceedings are not peer-reviewed publications. 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. These revised submissions will
be reviewed by the program committee
using prevailing academic standards to select the best articles, which
will appear in the formal proceedings.
INVITED SPEAKER
Johan Nordlander of Lulea University, the designer and developer of
the Timber language, is the invited
speaker at IFL 2010. Timber is a functional programming language that
draws some of its concepts from
object-oriented programming, and has built-in facilities for
concurrent execution. The language is
specifically targeted at implementing real-time embedded systems.
TOPICS
IFL welcomes submissions describing practical and theoretical work as
well as submissions describing
applications and tools. If you are not sure that your work is
appropriate for IFL 2010, please contact
the PC chair at jur(a)cs.uu.nl. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
language concepts
type checking
contracts
compilation techniques
staged compilation
runtime function specialization
runtime code generation
partial evaluation
(abstract) interpretation
generic programming techniques
automatic program generation
array processing
concurrent/parallel programming
concurrent/parallel program execution
functional programming and embedded systems
functional programming and web applications
functional programming and security
novel memory management techniques
runtime profiling and performance measurements
debugging and tracing
virtual/abstract machine architectures
validation and verification of functional programs
tools and programming techniques
industrial applications of functional programming
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
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, conform to the Springer-Verlag
LNCS series format and not exceed 16 pages. The draft proceedings will
appear as a technical report of the
Department of Computer Science of Utrecht University.
PETER LANDIN PRIZE
The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the
symposium every year.
The honored 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.
