[plt-scheme] IFL 2007: CFP and deadline submission approaching

Dear All,

My apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of IFL's call
for papers. This year IFL is co-located with ICFP. I encourage all of
you to submit to IFL. It is a lively and very enjoyable event with a
post-symposium reviewing process. At IFL, the latest developments in
the implementation of functional languages are discussed and the
publication-ripe articles are chosen for publication in Springer's the
LNCS series.

Cheers,

Marco

                 Call for Papers and Participation

                  19th International Symposium on
         Implementation and Application of Functional Languages
                              IFL 2007

            27th-29th September 2007, Freiburg, Germany
                     co-located with ICFP 2007

==> Submission for Draft Proceedings           31 August 2007
==> Early Registration & Hotel Deadline         1 September 2007


The aim of the IFL symposium is to bring together researchers actively
engaged in the implementation and application of functional and
function-based programming languages. The symposium provides 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 and application of
functional languages.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

   * language concepts
   * type checking
   * compilation techniques
   * (abstract) interpretation
   * generic programming techniques
   * automatic program generation
   * array processing
   * concurrent/parallel programming
   * heap management
   * runtime profiling
   * performance measurements
   * debugging and tracing
   * (abstract) machine architectures
   * verification
   * formal aspects
   * tools and programming techniques

Papers on applications or tools demonstrating the suitability of novel
ideas in any of the above areas and contributions on related
theoretical work are also welcome. The change of the symposium name
adding the term "application", introduced in 2004, reflects the
broader scope IFL has gained over the years.


Contributions

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers to be published in
the draft proceedings and present them at the symposium. All
contributions must be written in English, conform to the
Springer-Verlag LNCS series format and not exceed 16 pages. The draft
proceedings will appear as a technical report.

Every attendee of IFL 2007 will have the opportunity to submit a
revised version of their paper for post-symposium reviewing. As in
previous years, selected papers will be published by Springer Verlag
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series.
