[ANN] Call for Papers for 2010 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming

From: Marc Feeley <feeley@...>
Date: 2010-05-25 04:05:07 UTC
List: ruby-talk #363224
Please note that the deadline for submitting a paper to the Scheme
workshop has been extended to Monday June 14, 2010 (3 weeks from now).

More information is available on the workshop website at
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~sfp2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Call for Papers

      2010 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming

                  Montr=E9al, Qu=E9bec, Canada
            Saturday and Sunday August 21-22, 2010
             http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~sfp2010

Important Dates
---------------

 Submission:        14 June 2010 *** REVISED DEADLINE ***
 Notification:       2 July 2010
 Final papers due:  23 July 2010

All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC (7:59 PM EDT, 6:59 PM CDT, 5:59 PM MDT,
and 4:59 PM PDT).

Scope
-----

The 2010 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming is a forum
for discussing experience with and future development of the
Scheme programming language. Papers are invited concerning all
aspects of the design, implementation, theory, and application of
Scheme. Some example areas include (but are not limited to):

- History, evolution and standardization of Scheme
- Applications, experience and industrial uses of Scheme
- Program-development environments, debugging, testing
- Implementation (interpreters, compilers, tools, benchmarks, etc)
- Distributed computing, concurrency, parallelism
- Interoperability with other languages, FFIs
- Continuations, macros, modules, object systems, types
- Theory, formal semantics, correctness
- Education
- Scheme pearls (elegant, instructive uses of Scheme)

There are two classes of submissions, regular papers (up to 12
pages) and short papers (around 6 pages).

A Scheme pearl submission is a special category, and should be a
short paper presenting an algorithm, idea or programming device
using Scheme in a way that is particularly elegant.

Following the model of earlier workshops, Scheme pearls and
experience papers need not necessarily report original research
results; they may instead report practical experience that will be
useful to others, re-usable programming idioms, or elegant new
ways of approaching a problem. The key criterion for such a paper
is that it makes a contribution from which other practitioners
can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a program!

The proceedings of the conference will be published as a
Universit=E9 de Montr=E9al technical report.

Instructions for authors
------------------------

Authors should submit a 100-200 word abstract and a full paper by
the end of Monday, 14 June 2010, Universal Coordinated Time. (The
end of the day UTC corresponds to 23:59 UTC, 7:59 PM EDT, 6:59 PM
CDT, 5:59 PM MDT, and 4:59 PM PDT.)

Papers must be submitted in PDF format, or as PostScript
documents that are interpretable by Ghostscript, and they must be
printable on US Letter sized paper.

Suitable style files for LaTeX:

- class file
   http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~sfp2010/sigplanconf.cls

- style guide
   http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~sfp2010/sigplanconf-guide.pdf

- template
   http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~sfp2010/sigplanconf-template.tex

- sample paper
   http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~sfp2010/retrospective.tex

- sample references
   http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~sfp2010/retrospective.bbl

Submissions will be carried out electronically via the Web, at
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~sfp2010/submit.html

A submission will be evaluated according to its relevance,
correctness, significance, originality, and clarity. It should
explain its contributions in both general and technical terms,
clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it
is significant, and comparing it with previous work. The
technical content should be accessible to a broad audience.

There are two classes of submissions, regular papers and short
papers:

Regular papers
--------------

Submissions should be no more than 12 pages (including
bibliography and appendices) in standard ACM conference format:
two columns, nine point font on ten point baseline, page
20pc (3.33in) wide and 54pc (9in) tall with a column gutter of
2pc (0.33in). Authors wishing to supply additional material to
the reviewers beyond the 12 page limit can do so in clearly
marked appendices, on the understanding that reviewers may not
read the appendices. Submissions that do not meet these
guidelines will not be considered.

Short papers
------------

Short papers need not present novel research; it is sufficient
that they present material of interest or utility to the Scheme
or functional-programming community. Scheme pearls submissions
should be presented as short papers.

Short papers should be formatted with the same guidelines as
regular papers, but are expected to be around six pages in
length.
