Scope of TFP

The Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is dedicated to promoting new research directions related to the field of functional programming and to investigate the relationships of functional programming with other branches of computer science. It is designed to be a platform for novel and upcoming research, combined with a post-event refereeing process and a formal publication of selected papers as a book. In particular we encourage young researchers to present their work at TFP. In recognition of the extra effort spent in giving polished presentations the programme committee of TFP each year gives out a Best Student Paper award.

The scope of the TFP symposia will cover all aspects of functional programming, including:

• language design
• proof and transformation
• semantics and models
• implementation
• applications
• type systems
• parallelism and distribution
• performance modelling & profiling
• education
• real time and reactive programming
• programming methodologies

Emphasised topics in previous symposia and workshops include:

• Parallel Systems and Programming
• Types
• Architectures and Implementation
• Applications
• Theory
