Second call for papers
 10th SYMPOSIUM ON TRENDS IN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
 TFP 2009
 SELYE JANOS UNIVERSITY, KOMARNO, SLOVAKIA
 June 2-4, 2009
 http://www.inf.elte.hu/tfp_cefp_2009

*** The registration and paper submission is now open! ***

The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an
international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of
functional programming languages, focusing on providing a broad view of
current and future trends in Functional Programming. It aspires to be a
lively environment for presenting the latest research results. Acceptance
for the conference is based on full papers or extended abstracts, and a
formal post-symposium refereeing process selects the best articles
presented at the symposium for publication in a high-profile volume.

TFP 2009 is hosted by the Selye Janos University, Komarno, Slovakia, and
it is co-located with the 3rd Central-European Functional Programming
School (CEFP 2009), which is held immediately before TFP 2009 (May 25-30).

 IMPORTANT DATES (ALL 2009)

    * Paper Submission: March 31 (extended)
    * Notification of Acceptance: April 9
    * Camera Ready Symposium Proceedings Paper: April 24
    * TFP Symposium: June 2-4, 2009
    * Post Symposium Paper Submission: June 30

 SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM

As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify
the following five article categories. High-quality articles are
solicited in any of these categories:

    * Research: leading-edge, previously unpublished research.
    * Position: on what new trends should or should not be.
    * Project: descriptions of recently started new projects.
    * Evaluation: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project.
    * Overview: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject.

Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication
to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional
programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-
oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other
languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Contributions on
the following subject areas are particularly welcomed:

    * Dependently Typed Functional Programming
    * Validation and Verification of Functional Programs
    * Debugging for Functional Languages
    * Functional Programming and Security
    * Functional Programming and Mobility
    * Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement Systems from
      Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications
    * Functional Languages for Telecommunications Applications
    * Functional Languages for Embedded Systems
    * Functional Programming Applied to Global Computing
    * Functional GRIDs
    * Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative or Object-Oriented
      Settings (and the converse)
    * Interoperability with Imperative Programming Languages
    * Novel Memory Management Techniques
    * Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages
    * Program Transformation Techniques
    * Empirical Performance Studies
    * Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers for Functional Languages
    * New Implementation Strategies
    * Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area

If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP,
please contact the TFP 2009 program chairs, Zoltan Horvath and Viktoria
Zsok at tfp2009 at inf.elte.hu

 SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS

Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the
screening process of full papers (15 pages) and extended abstracts
(at least 3 pages). TFP encourages PhD students to submit papers.

PhD students may request the program committee to provide extensive
feedback on their full papers at the time of submission. Full papers
describing work accepted for presentation must be completed before the
symposium for publication in the draft proceedings. Further details can
be found at the TFP 2009 website.

 POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION

In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we continue the TFP
tradition of publishing a high-quality subset of contributions in the
Intellect series on Trends in Functional Programming.

Call for participation
3rd CENTRAL EUROPEAN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING SCHOOL CEFP 2009
SELYE JANOS UNIVERSITY, KOMARNO, SLOVAKIA
May 25-30, 2009
http://www.inf.elte.hu/tfp_cefp_2009

*** The registration is now open! ***

The Central European Functional Programming School (CEFP) is
organised every second year (2005 Budapest - LNCS vol. 4164,
2007 Cluj-Napoca - LNCS vol. 5161, 2009 Komarno). It is the
Central European counterpart of the Advanced Functional
Programming school with the additional goal to stimulate
students from Central Europe to attend.

GOALS

* Bring together computer scientists, in particular motivated graduate
and PhD students, and make them familiar with the latest functional
programming techniques.
* Show the use of advanced functional programming techniques in real
world applications.
* Bridge the gap between recent results presented at programming
conferences and material from introductory textbooks on functional
programming.
* Provide a forum for PhD students to present their research results as
part of the workshop programme and submit the full paper version after
the summer school. Selected and reviewed papers will be published in the
LNCS Volume of the revised lectures.

PROGRAMME

At the beginning of CEFP 2009 we make functional programming
warm-up sessions starting on 21 May 2009.

The summer school's programme includes:
* In depth lectures about a selected number of recently emerged advanced
functional programming techniques, taught by experts in the field.
* Practical exercises accompanying the lectures to be solved by the
students at the school. These exercises guide the students' learning to
a great extent. A high quality lab is available at the school site.
* Team work is stimulated, such that the students can also learn from
each other.

CEFP 2009 is co-located with the 10th Symposium on Trends in Functional
Programming (TFP 2009, June 2-4), which is held after the summer school.
