The Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is aninternational forum for researchers with interests in all aspects offunctional programming, taking a broad view of current and futuretrends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment forpresenting the latest research results, and other contributions.

Please be aware that TFP uses two distinct rounds of submissions.

TFP 2022 will be co-located with two other functional programmingevents. TFP 2022 will be accompanied by the International Workshop onTrends in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE), which will takeplace on February 11. Simultaneously with TFP, Lambda Days '22 is atwo day conference where academia meets industry, where research andpractical application collide.

Scope

The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through variousroutes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we thereforeidentify the following five article categories. High-quality articlesare 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Research Articles: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work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 forpublication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect offunctional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, orexperience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniquesto 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 ofTFP, please contact the TFP 2022 program chairs, Wouter Swierstra andNicolas Wu.

Best Paper Awards

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

TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students,acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of newsubject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors statethat the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are listedas first authors, and a student would present the paper. A prize forthe best student paper is awarded each year.

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

Instructions to Author

Papers must be submitted at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp22

Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributionsformally reviewed either before or after the Symposium.

Pre-symposium formal review

Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should besubmitted before an early deadline and receive their reviews andnotification of acceptance for both presentation and publicationbefore the symposium. A paper that has been rejected in this processmay still be accepted for presentation at the symposium, but will notbe considered for the post-symposium formal review.

Post-symposium formal review

Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification ofacceptance for presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft paperswill be invited to submit revised papers based on the feedback receiveat the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then selecta subset of these articles for formal publication.

Paper categories

Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted asextended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (20pages). The submission must clearly indicate which category it belongsto: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. Itshould also indicate which authors are research students, and whetherthe main author(s) are students. A draft paper for which all authorsare students will receive additional feedback by one of the PC membersshortly after the symposium has taken place.

Format

Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCSstyle. For more information about formatting please consult theSpringer LNCS web site.
