=============================================================
IFL 2003 15th International Workshop on the IMPLEMENTATION OF FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES
Edinburgh Scotland September 8th - 10th, 2003 http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~ifl03
============================================================= Important dates ---------------
Registration deadline: August 1st, 2003 Submission deadline : August 22nd, 2003 Workshop : September 8-10th, 2003
=============================================================
Scope of IFL 2003 -----------------
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and users actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional programming languages to discuss results and new directions of research.
The workshop is intended to provide an open forum for researchers who wish to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, preliminary results etc. related primarily but not exclusively to the implementation of functional or function-based languages. A not necessarily exhaustive list of topics includes
language concepts type checking compilation techniques (abstract) interpretation automatic program generation (abstract) machine architectures array processing concurrent/parallel programming and program execution heap management runtime profiling and performance measurements debugging and tracing verification of functional programs tools and programming techniques
Contributions on applications of functional programming, e.g., in teaching, or on theoretical work in any of the above areas are also welcome.
This year's workshop is co-located with the 4th International Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP'03) http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/stg/workshops/ISTFP/.
Contributions -------------
All attendees are encouraged to submit papers to be published in the draft proceedings and to give presentations at the workshop. Submitted papers must be written in English, conform to the LNCS format (available at: http://www.springer.de/comp/authors/index.html) and not exceed 16 pages.
Papers should be submitted by August 22nd as postscript or pdf files using the submission page of the workshop accessible through http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~ifl03
After the workshop, a high-quality subset of contributions will be published in the Springer LNCS series. All speakers attending the workshop are invited to submit a paper. Papers for the LNCS proceedings will be refereed according to normal conference standards.

TFP 2003 Fourth International symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
Edinburgh, Scotland September 11th - 12th, 2003
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/stg/workshops/TFP/
The international symposium on Trends in Functional Programming continues the Scottish Functional Programming Workshop series. These workshops bring together researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming languages. Papers on all aspects of functional programming are welcomed, be they implementation-oriented, theoretical, or experience papers.
This year's workshop is co-located with the 15th International Workshop on the Implementation of Functional Languages (IFL '03) http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~ifl03.
Workshop Topics
Papers on any aspect of functional programming are welcome. Papers on the following subject areas are particularly welcome.
* rich type systems, including type systems for expressing resource bounds or other safety properties; * linear type systems, soft type systems, typeful programming; * reasoning about functional programs, semantics of functional languages; * inductive or co-inductive techniques, proof nets; * mobile-code functional programming languages; * parallel programming with functional languages, cost models for functional programs; * compilation of functional languages for the Java Virtual Machine; * functional aspects of imperative programming, functional bytecode; * interoperability with imperative programming languages, calling imperative from functional or vice versa; * type inference algorithms, type error repair, deep types; * strongly-typed imperative languages with inference (e.g. Cyclone); * performance measurements, optimisation techniques, implementation techniques; * experience papers: applications of functional programming or functional programming in education.
The above list is not exhaustive. Papers on other topics are also welcome.
Contributions
All attendees are encouraged to submit papers to be published in the draft proceedings and to give presentations at the workshop. Submitted papers must be written in English and not exceed 16 pages. Papers should be submitted as postscript (or pdf) by email to the workshop chair, Stephen Gilmore stg@inf.ed.ac.uk.
Proceedings
We intend to publish a high-quality subset of contributions in a highly-regarded series. All speakers attending the workshop are invited to submit a paper. Papers for the proceedings will be refereed according to normal conference standards. This implies (among other things) that:
* the paper should be written in English * the paper is well written * topic of the paper should be stated clearly * the approach to solve the problem should be outlined clearly * a detailed discussion of the solution has to be given * the solution is compared with relevant related work * there is an abstract, introduction and conclusion. * the conclusion should summarise the problem, the solution, and how this solves the problem. * the paper should not exceed 16 pages. * the paper should be submitted as postscript (or pdf) by email to the workshop chair, Stephen Gilmore stg@inf.ed.ac.uk.
Dates
Aug 2nd 2003 : Submission for draft proceedings Sept 11th - Sept 12th 2003 : Workshop Oct 31st 2003 : Submission for referees process Dec 12th 2003 : Notification of acceptance/rejection Jan 23rd 2004 : Camera-ready papers
Event Site
The workshop will take place at The Pollock Halls in the city center of Edinburgh http://www.accom.ed.ac.uk/maps/pollock.htm.
Previous workshops
The TFP workshop continues the Scottish Functional Programming Workshop series. The previous SFPW meetings were Stirling (2001), St. Andrews (2000), Stirling (1999).
