[Forwarded on behalf of Graham Hutton]


> ============================================================

> CALL FOR PHD ABSTRACTS

> ============================================================
> 
> PREAMBLE:
> 
> Many students complete PhDs in functional programming each
> year, but there is currently no common location in which
> to promote and advertise the resulting work.  The Journal
> of Functional Programming would like to change that!
> 
> As a service to the community, JFP is launching a new
> feature, in the form of a yearly publication of abstracts
> from PhD dissertations that were completed during the
> previous year.  To start this new feature off, we would like
> to reach back three years for the first round of abstracts.
> The abstracts will be freely available on the JFP website,
> i.e. not behind any paywall, and will not require any
> transfer for copyright, merely a license from the author.
> 
> Please submit dissertation abstracts according to the
> instructions below.  A dissertation is eligible if parts
> of it have or could appear in JFP, that is, if it is in
> the general area of functional programming.  JFP will not
> have these abstracts reviewed.  We welcome submissions
> from both the PhD student and PhD advisor/supervisor
> although we encourage them to coordinate.
>
