TFP 2023 -- Call For Participation
(trendsfp.github.io)
Dates
Registration: Friday 6th January, 2023
TFPIE Workshop: Thursday 12th January, 2023
TFP Symposium: Friday 13th - Sunday 15th January, 2023
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.
This year, TFP will take place in-person at UMass Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. It is co-located with the Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE) workshop, which will take on the day before the main symposium.
Scope
The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories:
- Research Articles:
Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work - Position Articles:
On what new trends should or should not be - Project Articles:
Descriptions of recently started new projects - Evaluation Articles:
What lessons can be drawn from a finished project - Overview Articles:
Summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject
Articles must be original and not simultaneously submitted for publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium.
Topics suitable for the symposium include, but are not limited to:
- Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing
- Functional programming in the cloud
- High performance functional computing
- Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs
- Dependently typed functional programming
- Validation and verification of functional programs
- Debugging and profiling for functional languages
- Functional programming in different application areas:
security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded
systems, global computing, grids, etc. - Interoperability with imperative programming languages
- Novel memory management techniques
- Program analysis and transformation techniques
- Empirical performance studies
- Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages
- (Embedded) domain specific languages
- New implementation strategies
- Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area
If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2023 program chair, Stephen Chang.
Best Paper Awards
TFP awards two prizes for the best papers each year.
First, to reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best overall paper accepted for the post-conference formal proceedings.
Second, a prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students, acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors, and a student would present the paper.
In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, then that paper will receive both prizes.
