| 18 | +The Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international |
| 19 | +forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, |
| 20 | +taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a |
| 21 | +lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other |
| 22 | +contributions. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +This year, TFP will take place in-person at the University of Southern Denmark, |
| 25 | +in Odense, Denmark. It is co-located with the Trends in Functional Programming |
| 26 | +in Education (TFPIE) workshop, which will take on the day before the main |
| 27 | +symposium. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Please be aware that TFP has several submission deadlines. The first, 13th |
| 30 | +November, is for authors who wish to have their full paper reviewed prior to the |
| 31 | +symposium. Papers that are accepted in this way must also be presented at the |
| 32 | +symposium. The second, 11th December, is for authors who wish to present their |
| 33 | +work or work-in-progress at the symposium first without submitting to the full |
| 34 | +review process for publication. These authors can then take into account |
| 35 | +feedback received at the symposium and submit a full paper for review by the |
| 36 | +third deadline, 19th February. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +## Scope |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As |
| 41 | +part of the Symposium’s focus on trends we therefore identify the following five |
| 42 | +paper categories. High-quality submissions are solicited in any of these |
| 43 | +categories: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +* Research Papers: Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work |
| 46 | +* Position Papers: On what new trends should or should not be |
| 47 | +* Project Papers: Descriptions of recently started new projects |
| 48 | +* Evaluation Papers: What lessons can be drawn from a finished project |
| 49 | +* Overview Papers: Summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted for publication to any |
| 52 | +other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: |
| 53 | +theoretical, implementation-oriented, or experience-oriented. Applications of |
| 54 | +functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope |
| 55 | +of the symposium. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Topics suitable for the symposium include, but are not limited to: |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +* Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing |
| 60 | +* Functional programming in the cloud |
| 61 | +* High performance functional computing |
| 62 | +* Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs |
| 63 | +* Dependently typed functional programming |
| 64 | +* Validation and verification of functional programs |
| 65 | +* Debugging and profiling for functional languages |
| 66 | +* Functional programming in different application areas: |
| 67 | + security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded systems, |
| 68 | + global computing, grids, etc. |
| 69 | +* Interoperability with imperative programming languages |
| 70 | +* Novel memory management techniques |
| 71 | +* Program analysis and transformation techniques |
| 72 | +* Empirical performance studies |
| 73 | +* Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages |
| 74 | +* (Embedded) domain specific languages |
| 75 | +* New implementation strategies |
| 76 | +* Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +If you are in doubt on whether your paper is within the scope of TFP, please |
| 79 | +contact the programme chair, Casper Bach. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +## Best Paper Awards |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +TFP awards two prizes for the best papers each year. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +First, to reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best |
| 86 | +overall paper accepted for the post-conference formal proceedings. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Second, each year TFP also awards a prize for the best student paper. TFP |
| 89 | +traditionally pays special attention to research students, acknowledging that |
| 90 | +students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student paper is |
| 91 | +one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of students, |
| 92 | +the students are the paper’s first authors, and a student would present the |
| 93 | +paper. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper |
| 96 | +happens to be a student paper, then that paper will receive both prizes. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +## Instructions to Authors |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Submission is via HotCRP: |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | + https://tfp26.hotcrp.com/ |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally |
| 105 | +reviewed either before or after the Symposium. Further, pre-symposium |
| 106 | +submissions may either be full (earlier deadline) or draft papers (later |
| 107 | +deadline). See below for more details. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +Submission is single-blind. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +Submissions are welcome from PC members (except the chair). |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +Accepted papers from the pre-symposium and post-symposium formal review will |
| 114 | +appear in a formal proceedings, published by Springer. |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For more |
| 117 | +information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS Guidelines web |
| 118 | +site |
| 119 | +(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +### Pre-symposium formal review |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +Papers to be formally reviewed before the symposium should be submitted before |
| 124 | +the early deadline and will receive their reviews and notification of acceptance |
| 125 | +for both presentation and publication before the symposium. A paper that has |
| 126 | +been rejected for publication but accepted for presentation may be revised and |
| 127 | +resubmitted for the post-symposium formal review. |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +### Post-symposium formal review |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance for |
| 132 | +presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit |
| 133 | +revised papers based on the feedback received at the symposium. A post-symposium |
| 134 | +refereeing process will then select a subset of these papers for formal |
| 135 | +publication. |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +### Paper categories |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted as extended |
| 140 | +abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (up to 20 pages). The |
| 141 | +submission must clearly indicate which category it belongs to: research, |
| 142 | +position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which |
| 143 | +authors are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A |
| 144 | +draft paper for which all authors are students will receive additional feedback |
| 145 | +by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has taken place. |
