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 Seton Hall University, in
South
Orange, NJ 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.
Please be aware that TFP has several submission deadlines. The first,
November 4,
is for authors that wish to have their full paper reviewed prior to the
symposium.
Papers that are accepted in this way must also be presented at the
symposium. The
second, November 30, is for authors that wish to present their work or
work-in
progress at the symposium first without submitting to the full review
process for
publication. These authors can then take into account feedback received
at the
symposium and submit a full article for review by the third deadline,
February 23.
## 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Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work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 2024 program chair, Jason Hemann.
## 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, each year TFP also awards a prize for the best student paper.
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
the paper's 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.
