Scope
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Research Articles: leading-edge, previously unpublished research work Position Articles: on what new trends should or should not be Project Articles: descriptions of recently started new projects Evaluation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 simultaneously submitted for publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to 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 of TFP, please contact the TFP 2017 program chairs, Scott Owens and Meng Wang.
Best Paper Awards
To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper accepted for the formal proceedings.
TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students, acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors, and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year.
In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then receive both prizes.
Paper Submissions
Papers must be submitted here. We use EasyChair for the refereeing process.
Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on a lightweight peer review process of extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (20 pages). The submission must clearly indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A draft paper for which ALL authors are students will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has taken place.
Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS web site.
