Call for Papers  
IFL 2009  
Seton Hall University  
SOUTH ORANGE, NJ, USA  
[http://tltc.shu.edu/blogs/projects/IFL2009/](http://tltc.shu.edu/blogs/projects/IFL2009/)

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appearing in the draft proceedings are not  
peer-reviewed publications.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

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

automatic program generation  
array processing  
concurrent/parallel programming  
concurrent/parallel program execution  
functional programming and embedded systems  
functional programming and web applications

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

technical report of the Department of Mathematics  
and Computer Science of Seton Hall University.
