TFP 2010: 11th SYMPOSIUM ON TRENDS IN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING May 17-19, 2010 University of Oklahoma http://www.cs.ou.edu/tfp2010/ The Program Committee for TFP 2010 seeks papers on trends in functional programming. The symposium is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming. It embraces a broad view of current and future trends in functional programming and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results. TFP considers both full papers and extended abstracts for presentation at the symposium. A formal refereeing process after the symposium selects the best presentations for publication in a high-profile volume. IMPORTANT DATES * Apr 2: Submission of papers and abstracts * Apr 14: Notification of acceptance * May 7: Camera-ready, full papers for draft proceedings * May 17-19: TFP Symposium SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM Articles must be original and not submitted to any other forum for publication. They may consider any aspect of functional programming. Theory, implementation, experience, applications, and the use of functional programming methods in other languages all lie within the scope of the symposium. Articles may fall in any of the following categories: * Research: leading-edge, previously unpublished research * Position: advocating or critiquing new trends * Project: descriptions of new or recently initiated projects * Evaluation: lessons drawn from completed projects * Overview: summaries of trendy work A list of suggested topics and other details concerning submissions can be found on the symposium website: http://www.cs.ou.edu/tfp2010/call.html#topics The suggested topics are extensive but by no means exhaustive. Please contact the program chair, Rex Page, tfp2010@cs.ou.edu, if you are in doubt about whether your topic is within the TFP scope. BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD TFP traditionally pays special attention to research conducted by students, acknowledging that students commonly develop new subject trends. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS Full papers (up to 15 pages) and extended abstracts (3 to 6 pages, to be expanded to full papers if accepted) submitted for presentation at the symposium are screened by the program committee. A draft proceedings available at the conference will contain all accepted papers and all accepted abstracts that have been expanded to full papers. Each submission must declare its category (research, position, project, evaluation, or overview). Authors who are students should so indicate when they submit their article. The Program Committee will provide extra feedback for student papers to help compensate for differences between students and other researchers in experience with the publication process. POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we intend to continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality volume containing the best papers from the symposium. All TFP authors will be invited to submit revised papers after the symposium. These will be refereed using normal conference standards, and the best papers will be selected for publication. Papers will be judged on their contributions with appropriate criteria applied to each category of paper.
