The Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an
international
forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional
programming,
taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires
to be a
lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other
contributions.
This year, TFP will take place in-person at the University of Southern
Denmark,
in Odense, Denmark. It is co-located with the Trends in Functional
Programming
in Education (TFPIE) workshop, which will take on the day before the
main
symposium.
Please be aware that TFP has several submission deadlines. The first,
13th
November, is for authors who wish to have their full paper reviewed
prior to the
symposium. Papers that are accepted in this way must also be presented
at the
symposium. The second, 11th December, is for authors who wish to present
their
work or work-in-progress at the symposium first without submitting to
the full
review process for publication. These authors can then take into account
feedback received at the symposium and submit a full paper for review by
the
third deadline, 19th February.
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
paper categories. High-quality submissions are solicited in any of these
categories:
Papers 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 in different application areas:
security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded
systems,
global computing, grids, etc.
Interoperability with imperative programming languages
If you are in doubt on whether your paper is within the scope of TFP,
please
contact the programme chair, Casper Bach.
TFP awards two prizes for the best papers each year.
First, to reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the
best
overall paper accepted for the post-conference formal proceedings.
Second, each year TFP also awards a prize for the best student paper.
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 the paper's first authors, and a student would present
the
paper.
In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the
best paper
happens to be a student paper, then that paper will receive both prizes.
Submission is via HotCRP:
Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally
reviewed either before or after the Symposium. Further, pre-symposium
submissions may either be full (earlier deadline) or draft papers (later
deadline). See below for more details.
Submission is single-blind.
Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the chair).
Accepted papers from the pre-symposium and post-symposium formal review
will
appear in a formal proceedings, published by Springer.
Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For
more
information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS Guidelines
web
site
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted
before
the early deadline and will receive their reviews and notification of
acceptance
for both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that
has
been rejected for publication but accepted for presentation may be
revised and
resubmitted for the post-symposium formal review.
Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance
for
presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft papers will be invited
to submit
revised papers based on the feedback received at the symposium. A
post-symposium
refereeing process will then select a subset of these papers for formal
publication.
Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted as
extended
abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (up to 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.
