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.
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 inEducation (TFPIE) workshop, which will take on the day before the mainsymposium.
## 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* Research Articles: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work* Position Articles: On what new trends should or should not be* Project Articles: Descriptions of recently started new projects* Evaluation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 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 bestoverall 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 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.
In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case thebest paper happens to be a student paper, then that paper will receiveboth prizes.
## Instructions to Authors
Papers must be submitted at:
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp23>
Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributionsformally reviewed either before or after the Symposium.Further, pre-symposium submissions may either be full (earlier deadline)or draft papers (later deadline).
## Pre-symposium formal review
Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should besubmitted before the early deadline and will receive their reviews andnotification of acceptance for both presentation and publicationbefore the symposium. A paper that has been rejected for publicationbut accepted for presentation may be resubmitted for thepost-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.
