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 and full papers. A formal post-symposium refereeing process selects the best articles presented at the symposium for publication in a high-profile volume.

TFP 2008 is hosted by the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and will be held in the rural setting of Center Parcs “Het Heijderbos”, Heijen (in the vicinity of Nijmegen), The Netherlands.

TFP 2008 is co-located with the 6th Int’l. Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming (AFP’08), which is held immediately before TFP’08.

PROGRAM INFORMATION We have selected papers in the following themes:

(*) Types (*) Applications (*) Parallellism (*) Refactoring (*) Reactive Systems (*) Memory Analysis (*) Software Construction & Program Transformation (*) Reasoning
