Dear all,

I’m writing to let you know about the upcoming Scheme and  
Functional Programming workshop – specifically that the  
submission deadline is June 9, about 2 months from now. The  
workshop will be held Portland Oregon on September 17, the day  
before ICFP.

We look forward you your submissions!

Best,  
Robby

============================================================

The purpose of the workshop is to discuss experience with and  
future developments of the Scheme programming language, as well  
as general aspects of computer science loosely centered on the  
general theme of Scheme.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: Friday June 9  
Author notification: Friday June 30  
Final versions due: Friday July 14  
Workshop: Sunday September 17, the day before ICFP

CALL FOR PAPERS

Papers are invited concerning all aspects of the design,  
semantics, theory, application, implementation, and teaching of  
Scheme. Some example areas include (but are not limited to):

- Language design

- Type systems

- Theory

- Implementation

- Program-development environments and tools

- Education

- Agile Methogologies

- Applications and experience

- Scheme pearls

Following the model of earlier workshops, 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!
