IFL 2018

30th Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional
Languages


   University of Massachusetts Lowell, MA, USA
 September 5th-7th, 2018

http://iflconference.org




### 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 2018 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.

Topics of interest to IFL 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


### Keynote Speakers

* Adam Chlipala, Massachusetts Institute of Technology CSAIL
* Arjun Guha, University of Massachusetts Amherst


### Submissions and peer-review

Differently from previous editions of IFL, IFL 2018 solicits two kinds of
submissions:

* Regular papers (12 pages including references)
* Draft papers for presentations ('weak' limit between 8 and 15 pages)

Regular papers will undergo a rigorous review by the program committee, and
will
be evaluated according to their correctness, novelty, originality,
relevance,
significance, and clarity. A set of regular papers will be conditionally
accepted for publication. Authors of conditionally accepted papers will be
provided with committee reviews along with a set of mandatory revisions.
Regular papers not accepted for publication will be considered as draft
papers,
at the request of the author.

Draft papers will be screened to make sure that they are within the scope of
IFL, and will be accepted for presentation or rejected accordingly.

Prior to the symposium:
  Authors of conditionally accepted papers and accepted presentations will
  submit a pre-proceedings version of their work that will appear in the
draft
  proceedings distributed at the symposium. The draft proceedings does not
  constitute a formal publication.

  We require that at least one of the authors present the work at IFL 2018.

After the symposium:

  Authors of conditionally accepted papers will submit a revised versions of
  their paper for the formal post-proceedings.
  The program committee will assess whether the mandatory revisions have
been
  adequately addressed by the authors and thereby determines the final
  accept/reject status of the paper.
  Our interest is to ultimately accept all conditionally accepted papers.
If you
  are an author of a conditionally accepted paper, please make sure that you
  address all the concerns of the reviewers.


  Authors of accepted presentations 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 post-proceedings.
  The program committee will evaluate these submissions according to their
  correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity,
and
  will thereby determine whether the paper is accepted or rejected.


### Publication

The formal proceedings will appear in the International Conference
Proceedings
Series of the ACM Digital Library.

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


### Important dates

Submission of regular papers:   May25, 2018
Submission of draft papers: July   17, 2018
Regular and draft papers notification:  July   20, 2018
Deadline for early registration:August  8, 2018

     TFP 2018 ===

  19th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
   11-13 June, 2018
 Chalmers Campus Johanneberg, Gothenburg
   http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~myreen/tfp2018/index.html

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 at scope).

Please be aware that TFP uses two distinct rounds of submissions (see
below at submission details).

TFP 2018 will be the main event of a pair of functional programming
events. TFP 2018 will be accompanied by the International Workshop on
Trends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will take
place on June 14.


== 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 2018 program chairs, Michał Pałka and Magnus Myreen.


== Best Paper Awards ==

To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper
accepted for the formal proceedings.

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. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year.

In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best
paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then receive both 
prizes.



== Paper Submissions ==

We use EasyChair for the refereeing process. The link to the submission 
page is:


https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp2018

Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally 
reviewed

either before or after the Symposium.


== Pre-symposium formal review ==

Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted 
before
an early deadline and receive their reviews and notification of 
acceptance for
both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that has 
been
rejected in this process may still be accepted for presentation at the 
symposium,

but will not be considered for the post-symposium formal review.


== Post-symposium formal review ==

Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance 
for
presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft papers will be invited 
to submit
revised papers based on the feedback receive at the symposium. A 
post-symposium
refereeing process will then select a subset of these articles for
