*********


The 21st International Symposium on Implementation and Application of 
Functional Languages, 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 and in 
Europe. 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 
will 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 an 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appearing in the draft proceedings are not 
peer-reviewed publications.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 work as well 
as submissions describing applications and tools.

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

PETER LANDIN PRIZE

The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the 
symposium every year. The honored article is selected 
by the program committee based on the submissions received for the formal 
review process. The prize carries a cash award 
equivalent to 150 euros.
