International Conference on Functional Programming
(ICFP 2006)
Call for Papers
September 18-20, 2006
Portland, Oregon, USA
Submission deadline: 7 April, 2006
http://icfp06.cs.uchicago.edu
ICFP 2006 seeks original papers on the art and science of functional
programming.
Submissions are invited on all topics ranging from principles to
practice, from
foundations to features, from abstraction to application. The scope
includes all
languages that encourage functional programming, including both purely
applicative and imperative languages, as well as languages with
objects and
concurrency. Particular topics of interest include:
* Applications and domain-specific languages: Systems
programming, scientific
and numerical computing, symbolic computing and artificial
intelligence,
databases, graphical user interfaces, multimedia programming,
application
scripting, system administration, distributed-systems and web
programming,
XML processing, security.
* Foundations: Formal semantics, lambda calculus, type theory,
monads,
continuations, control, state, effects.
* Design: Algorithms and data structures, modules and type
systems, concurrency
and distribution, components and composition, relations to
object-oriented
and logic programming.
* Implementation: Abstract machines, compile-time and run-time
optimization,
just-in-time compilers, memory management. Interfaces to
foreign functions,
services, components and low-level machine resources.
* Transformation and analysis: Abstract interpretation, partial
evaluation,
program transformation.
* Software-development techniques for functional programming:
Design patterns,
specification, verification, validation, debugging, test
generation, tracing
and profiling.
* Practice and experience: Functional programming in education
and industry.
* Functional pearls: Elegant, instructive examples of
functional programming.
Papers in the last two categories need not necessarily report
original research
results; they may instead, for example, report practical experience
that will be
useful to others, re-usable programming idioms, or elegant new ways
of approaching
a problem. A special issue of the Journal of Functional Programming
will highlight
selected papers from the meeting.
Submission instructions are available at http://www.easychair.org/
ICFP2006/
The top submitted papers, as determined by the program committee,
will be invited
to submit journal versions for a special issue of JFP.
