Call for Papers 
IFL 2009
Seton Hall University

The 21st IFL symposium, IFL 2009, will be held for the first time in
the USA. The hosting institution is Seton Hall University in South
Orange, NJ, USA and the symposium dates are September 23-25, 2009. It
is our goal to make IFL a regular event held in the USA. The goal of
the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in
the implementation and application of functional and function-based
programming languages. IFL 2009 will be a venue for researchers to
present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and
publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application
of functional languages and function-based programming.

Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2009 will use a post-symposium review
process to produce a formal proceedings which we expect to be
published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series. All participants in IFL 2009 are invited to submit either a
draft paper or and extended abstract describing work to be presented
at the symposium.  These submissions will be screened by the program
committee chair to make sure they are within the scope of IFL and will
appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the
symposium. Submissions appearing in the draft proceedings are not
peer-reviewed publications. After the symposium, authors will be given
the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from discussions at the
symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full arcticle for
the formal review process. These revised submissions will be reviewed
by the program committee using prevailing academic standards to select
the best articles that will appear in the formal proceedings.


TOPICS

IFL welcomes submissions describing practical and theoretical as well
as submissions describing applications and tools.  If you are not sure
if your work is appropriate for IFL 2009, please contact the PC chair
at ifl2009 at shu.edu. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:

 language concepts 
 type checking 
 contracts
 compilation techniques 
 staged compilation
 runtime function specialization
 runtime code generation 
 partial evaluation  
 (abstract) interpretation 
 generic programming techniques 
 automatic program generation 
 array processing 
 concurrent/parallel programming 
 concurrent/parallel program execution 
 functional programming and embedded systems 
 functional programming and web applications 
 functional programming and security

 debugging and tracing 
 virtual/abstract machine architectures 
 validation and verification of functional programs   
 tools and programming techniques 


PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers or extended
abstracts to be published in the draft proceedings and to present them
at the symposium. All contributions must be written in English,
conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS series format and not exceed 16
