Scope
~
ICFP 2013 seeks original papers on the art and science of functional
programming. Submissions are invited on all topics from principles to
practice, from foundations to features, and from abstraction to
application. The scope includes all languages that encourage
functional programming, including both purely applicative and
imperative languages, as well as languages with objects, concurrency,
or parallelism. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Language Design: concurrency and distribution; modules; components
and composition; metaprogramming; interoperability; type systems;
relations to imperative, object-oriented, or logic programming
* Implementation: abstract machines; virtual machines; interpretation;
compilation; compile-time and run-time optimization; memory
management; multi-threading; exploiting parallel hardware; interfaces
to foreign functions, services, components, or low-level machine
resources
* Software-Development Techniques: algorithms and data structures;
design patterns; specification; verification; validation; proof
assistants; debugging; testing; tracing; profiling
* Foundations: formal semantics; lambda calculus; rewriting; type
theory; monads; continuations; control; state; effects; program
verification; dependent types
* Analysis and Transformation: control-flow; data-flow; abstract
interpretation; partial evaluation; program calculation
* Applications and Domain-Specific Languages: symbolic computing;
formal-methods tools; artificial intelligence; systems programming;
distributed-systems and web programming; hardware design; databases;
XML processing; scientific and numerical computing; graphical user
interfaces; multimedia programming; scripting; system
administration; security
* Education: teaching introductory programming; parallel programming;
mathematical proof; algebra
* Functional Pearls: elegant, instructive, and fun essays on
functional programming
* Experience Reports: short papers that provide evidence that
functional programming really works or describe obstacles that have
kept it from working
If you are concerned about the appropriateness of some topic, do not
hesitate to contact the program chair.
Abbreviated instructions for authors
* By Thursday, 28 March 2013, 23:59 UTC-11 (American Samoa time),
submit a full paper of at most 12 pages (6 pages for an Experience
Report), including bibliography and figures.
The deadlines will be strictly enforced and papers exceeding the page
limits will be summarily rejected.
* Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission,
on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it.
* Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy, as
explained on the web at
http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication
* Authors of resubmitted (but previously rejected) papers have the
option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous
submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous
reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies
him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to
see how his/her comments have been addressed, the program chair will
communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous
review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of
the previous reviews.
Overall, a submission will be evaluated according to its relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. It should
explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly
identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and comparing it with previous work. The technical
content should be accessible to a broad audience. Functional Pearls
and Experience Reports are separate categories of papers that need not
report original research results and must be marked as such at the
time of submission. Detailed guidelines on both categories are on the
conference web site.
Proceedings will be published by ACM Press. Authors of accepted
submissions are expected to transfer the copyright to the
ACM. Presentations will be videotaped and released online if the
presenter consents.
