*********


The 21st International Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages, IFL 2009, will be held 
for the first time in the USA. The hosting institution is Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ, USA and the 
symposium dates are September 23-25, 2009. It is our goal to make IFL a regular event held in the USA and in 
Europe. The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and 
application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2009 will be a venue for researchers to 
present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the 
implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming.

Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2009 will use a post-symposium review process to produce a formal proceedings which 
will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. All participants in IFL 2009 are 
invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium. 
These submissions will be screened by the program committee chair to make sure they are within the scope of IFL and will 
appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the symposium. Submissions appearing in the draft proceedings are not 
peer-reviewed publications. After the symposium, authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from 
discussions at the symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full arcticle for the formal review process. These 
revised submissions will be reviewed by the program committee using prevailing academic standards to select the best 
articles that will appear in the formal proceedings.


TOPICS

IFL welcomes submissions describing practical and theoretical work as well as submissions describing applications and tools. 
If you are not sure if your work is appropriate for IFL 2009, please contact the PC chair at ifl2009 at shu.edu. Topics of 
interest include, but are not limited to:

 language concepts 
 type checking 
 contracts
 compilation techniques 
 staged compilation
 runtime function specialization
 runtime code generation 
 partial evaluation  
 (abstract) interpretation 
 generic programming techniques 
 automatic program generation 
 array processing 
 concurrent/parallel programming 
 concurrent/parallel program execution 
 functional programming and embedded systems 
 functional programming and web applications

 novel memory management techniques 
 runtime profiling and performance measurements 
 debugging and tracing 
 virtual/abstract machine architectures 
 validation and verification of functional programs   
 tools and programming techniques 
 FP in Education


PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers or extended abstracts to be published in the draft proceedings and to 
present them at the symposium. All contributions must be written in English, conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS series 
format and not exceed 16 pages. The draft proceedings will appear as a technical report of the Department of Mathematics 
and Computer Science of Seton Hall University.
