Note: Abstract and draft submissions are now closed.

The Symposium identifies the following five article categories:
Research Articlesleading-edge, previously unpublished research work
Position Articleson what new trends should or should not be
Project Articlesdescriptions of recently started new projects
Evaluation Articleswhat lessons can be drawn from a finished project
Overview Articlessummarizing work with respect to a trendy subject

Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented. Also applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are within the scope of the symposium. If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2007 program chair, Marco T. Morazán, at tfp2007 at shu dot edu.

Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the review of extended abstracts of between 6 and 10 pages by the program committee. Accepted abstracts are to be completed to full papers before the symposium for publication in the draft proceedings and on-line. The submission must clearly indicate to which category it belongs to: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. It should also indicate whether the main author or authors are research students.

The papers in the draft proceedings will also be made available on-line under the following conditions, with which all authors are asked to agree:

The documents distributed by this server have been provided by the contributing authors as a means to ensure timely dissemination of scholarly and technical work on a noncommercial basis. Copyright and all rights therein are maintained by the authors or by other copyright holders, notwithstanding that they have offered their works here electronically. It is understood that all persons copying this information will adhere to the terms and constraints invoked by each author's copyright. These works may not be reposted without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.

In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we intend to continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality subset of contributions in the Intellect series on Trends in Functional Programming. All TFP authors will be invited to submit revised papers after the symposium. These will be refereed using normal conference standards and a subset of the best papers, over all categories, will be selected for publication. Papers will be judged on their contribution to the research area with appropriate criteria applied to each category of paper.

Student papers will be given extra feedback by the Program Committee in order to assist those unfamiliar with the publication process.

Formatting Instructions

Abstracts and full articles must be written in English. The submission must clearly indicate to which category it belongs: research, position, project, evaluation, or overview paper. Extended abstracts must be between 6 and 10 pages. Full articles must not exceed 16 pages and in some categories may comprise considerably fewer pages.

Use the tfp07symp.cls LaTeX class with the option tfpsymp to typeset the full paper. Authors are encouraged to use this for the extended abstracts as well. The class file is mainly a wrapper around article. Brief usage instructions are included within the class file.
