============== TFP 2022 =================== == MOVING TO ONLINE SYMPOSIUM, NEW DATES == ===========================================

23rd Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming 17-18 March, 2022 Online event https://trendsfp.github.io/index.html

Due the pandemic, we have had to make TFP virtual this year. As a result, we've decided to push back the deadlines and conference date by a few weeks. In particular, the pre-symposium deadline for submitting the first version of your paper is now just after the ICFP deadline.

== Important Dates ==

Submission deadline for draft papers                Monday 7th March, 2022 Notification for draft submissions                  Friday 11th March, 2022 Symposium dates                                     Thursday 17th - Friday 18th March, 2022 Submission deadline for post-symposium reviewing    Wednesday 6th April, 2022 Notification for post-symposium submissions         Friday 27th May, 2022

The Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions.

== Scope ==

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* Research Articles:    Leading-edge, previously unpublished research work * Position Articles:   On what new trends should or should not be * Project Articles:    Descriptions of recently started new projects *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 simultaneously submitted for publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium.

Topics suitable for the symposium include, but are not limited to:

* Functional programming and multicore/manycore computing * Functional programming in the cloud * High performance functional computing * Extra-functional (behavioural) properties of functional programs * Dependently typed functional programming * Validation and verification of functional programs * Debugging and profiling for functional languages * Functional programming in different application areas:    security, mobility, telecommunications applications, embedded    systems, global computing, grids, etc. * Interoperability with imperative programming languages * Novel memory management techniques * Program analysis and transformation techniques * Empirical performance studies * Abstract/virtual machines and compilers for functional languages * (Embedded) domain specific 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 2022 program chairs, Wouter Swierstra and Nicolas Wu.

== Best Paper Awards ==

To reward excellent contributions, TFP awards a prize for the best paper accepted for the formal proceedings.

TFP traditionally pays special attention to research students, acknowledging that students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student paper is one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of students, the students are listed as first authors, and a student would present the paper. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year.

In both cases, it is the PC of TFP that awards the prize. In case the best paper happens to be a student paper, that paper will then receive both prizes.

== Instructions to Author ==

Papers must be submitted at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfp22

Authors of papers have the choice of having their contributions formally reviewed either before or after the Symposium.

== Post-symposium formal review process ==

Draft papers will receive minimal reviews and notification of acceptance for presentation at the symposium. Authors of draft papers will be invited to submit revised papers based on the feedback received at the symposium. A post-symposium refereeing process will then select a subset of these articles for formal publication.

== Paper categories ==

Draft papers and papers submitted for formal review are submitted as extended abstracts (4 to 10 pages in length) or full papers (20 pages). The submission must clearly indicate which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate which authors are research students, and whether the main author(s) are students. A draft paper for which all authors are students will receive additional feedback by one of the PC members shortly after the symposium has taken place.

== Format ==

Papers must be written in English, and written using the LNCS style. For more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS web site.
