IFL 2016 - Call for papers

28th SYMPOSIUM ON IMPLEMENTATION AND APPLICATION OF FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES -
IFL 2016

KU Leuven, Belgium

In cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN

August 31 - September 2, 2016

https://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/events/ifl2016/

Scope

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 2016 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.

Peer-review

Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2016 will use a post-symposium review
process
to produce the formal proceedings. All participants of IFL 2016 are invited
to
submit either a draft paper or an extended abstract describing work to be
presented at the symposium. At no time may work submitted to IFL be
simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to ACM
SIGPLAN's republication policy:

http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication

The 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are not peer-reviewed publications. Hence, publications that appear only in
the
draft proceedings are not subject to the ACM SIGPLAN republication policy.
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 article for the formal review process. From the revised
submissions, the program committee will select papers for the formal
proceedings considering their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance,
significance, and clarity. The formal proceedings will appear in the
International Conference Proceedings Series of the ACM Digital Library.

Important dates

August 1: Submission deadline draft papers
August 3: Notification of acceptance for presentation
August 5: Early registration deadline
August 12: Late registration deadline
August 22: Submission deadline for pre-symposium proceedings
August 31 - September 2: IFL Symposium
December 1: Submission deadline for post-symposium proceedings
January 31, 2017: Notification of acceptance for post-symposium proceedings
March 15, 2017: Camera-ready version for post-symposium proceedings

Submission details

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. Papers must use the new ACM two
columns conference format, which can be found at:

http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

For the pre-symposium proceedings we adopt a 'weak' page limit of 12 pages.
For
the post-symposium proceedings the page limit of 12 pages is firm.

Authors submit through EasyChair:

Topics

IFL welcomes submissions describing practical and theoretical work as well
as
submissions describing applications and tools in the context of functional
programming. If you are not sure whether your work is appropriate for IFL
2016,
please contact the PC chair at tom.schrijvers at cs.kuleuven.be. Topics of
interest include,
but are not limited to:

- language concepts
- type systems, type checking, type inferencing
- compilation techniques
- staged compilation
- run-time function specialization
- run-time code generation
- partial evaluation
- (abstract) interpretation
- metaprogramming
- generic programming
- automatic program generation
- array processing
- concurrent/parallel programming
- concurrent/parallel program execution
- embedded systems
- web applications
- (embedded) domain specific languages
- security
- novel memory management techniques
- run-time profiling performance measurements
- debugging and tracing
- virtual/abstract machine architectures
- validation, verification of functional programs
- tools and programming techniques
- (industrial) applications

Peter Landin Prize

The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the
symposium
every year. The honored article is selected by the program committee based
on
the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize carries a
cash award equivalent to 150 Euros.
