Dear Colleagues, The abstract submission deadline, February 1, is quickly approaching. We hope to see you at TFP 2007 in New York. NEW: Abstract submission is now open! Link: http://cs.shu.edu/tfp2007/submissions.html NEW: Invited Talk: John McCarthy, Standford University CALL FOR PAPERS Trends in Functional Programming 2007 New York, USA April 2-4, 2007 http://cs.shu.edu/tfp2007/     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 through acceptance by extended abstracts. A formal post-symposium refereeing process then selects the best articles presented at the symposium for publication in a high-profile volume.   TFP 2007 is co-hosted by Seton Hall University and The City College of New York (CCNY) and will be held in New York, USA, April 2-4, 2007 at the CCNY campus.     SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM   The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. 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 High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories:     Research Articles        leading-edge, previously unpublished research work Position Articles          on what new trends should or should not be   Project Articles           descriptions of recently started new projects Evaluation Articles       what lessons can be drawn from a finished project Overview Articles         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.   Articles on the following subject areas are particularly welcomed:   o Dependently Typed Functional Programming   o Validation and Verification of Functional Programs o Debugging for Functional Languages o Functional Programming and Security o Functional Programming and Mobility o Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement Systems from Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications o Functional Languages for Telecommunications Applications o Functional Languages for Embedded Systems o Functional Programming Applied to Global Computing o Functional GRIDs o Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative or Object-Oriented Settings (and the converse) o Interoperability with Imperative Programming Languages o Novel Memory Management Techniques o Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages o Program Transformation Techniques   o Empirical Performance Studies   o Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers for Functional Languages   o New Implementation Strategies o 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 2007 program chair, Marco T. Morazan, at tfp2007@shu.edu.     SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS   Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the review of extended abstracts (6 to 10 pages in length) by the program committee. Accepted  abstracts are to be completed to full papers before the symposium for publication in the draft proceedings and on-line. Further details can be found at the TFP 2007 website.     POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION   In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we intend to continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality subset of contributions in the Intellect series on Trends in Functional Programming.   IMPORTANT DATES   Abstract Submission: February 1, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2007 Registration Deadline: March 2, 2007   Camera Ready Full Paper Due: March 9, 2007 TFP Symposium: April 2-4, 2007     PROGRAMME COMMITTEE   John Clements                        California Polytechnic State University, USA   Marko van Eekelen                Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, The Netherlands   Benjamin Goldberg                New York University, USA   Kevin Hammond                University of St. Andrews, UK Patricia Johann                        Rutgers University, USA   Hans-Wolfgang Loidl                Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München, Germany   Rita Loogen                        Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany   Greg Michaelson                Heriot-Watt University, UK   Marco T.
