The symposium on Trends in Functional
Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests
in all aspects of functional programming languages, focusing on providing
a broad view of current and future trends in Functional Programming. It
aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results
through acceptance by extended abstracts. A formal post-symposium refereeing
process then selects the best articles presented at the symposium for publication
in a high-profile volume.   
TFP 2007 is co-hosted by Seton Hall
University and The City College of New York (CCNY) and will be held in
New York, USA, April 2-4, 2007 at the CCNY campus.    
SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM 
 
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 leading-edge, previously unpublished research work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 submitted
for simultaneous publication to any other forum. They may consider any
aspect of functional programming: theoretical,  implementation-oriented,
or more experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques
to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. 
 
Articles on the following subject areas
are particularly welcomed:
 
o Dependently Typed Functional Programming
  
o Validation and Verification of Functional
Programs
o Debugging for Functional Languages
o Functional Programming and Security
o Functional Programming and Mobility
o Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement
Systems from Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications 
o Functional Languages for Telecommunications
Applications
o Functional Languages for Embedded
Systems
o Functional Programming Applied to
Global Computing
o Functional GRIDs
o Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative
or Object-Oriented Settings (and the converse)
o Interoperability with Imperative Programming
Languages
o Novel Memory Management Techniques
o Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages
o Program Transformation Techniques
  
o Empirical Performance Studies  
o Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers
for Functional Languages   
o New Implementation Strategies
o 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 2007 program
chair, Marco T. Morazan, at tfp2007@shu.edu.
 
 
SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS
 
Acceptance of articles for presentation
at the symposium is based on the review of extended abstracts (6 to 10
pages in length) by the program committee. Accepted  abstracts are
to be completed to full papers before the symposium for publication in
the draft proceedings and on-line. Further details can be found at the
TFP 2007 website. 
 
 
POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION
 
In addition to the draft symposium proceedings,
we intend to continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality subset
of contributions in the Intellect series on Trends in Functional Programming.
