<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The symposium on Trends in Functional
Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests
in all aspects of functional programming languages, focusing on providing
a broad view of current and future trends in Functional Programming. It
aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results
through acceptance by extended abstracts. A formal post-symposium refereeing
process then selects the best articles presented at the symposium for publication
in a high-profile volume. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">TFP 2007 is co-hosted by Seton Hall
University and The City College of New York (CCNY) and will be held in
New York, USA, April 2-4, 2007 at the CCNY campus. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The symposium recognizes that new trends
may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends
we therefore identify the following five article categories. High-quality
articles are solicited in any of these categories: </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Research Articles
leading-edge, previously unpublished research work</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Position Articles
on what new trends should or should not be </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Project Articles
descriptions of recently started new projects </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Evaluation Articles
what lessons can be drawn from a finished project</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Overview Articles
summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">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. Applications of functional programming techniques
to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Articles on the following subject areas
are particularly welcomed:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Dependently Typed Functional Programming
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Validation and Verification of Functional
Programs</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Debugging for Functional Languages</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Functional Languages for Telecommunications
Applications</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Functional Languages for Embedded
Systems</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Functional Programming Applied to
Global Computing</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Functional GRIDs</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative
or Object-Oriented Settings (and the converse)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Interoperability with Imperative Programming
Languages</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Novel Memory Management Techniques</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Program Transformation Techniques
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Empirical Performance Studies
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers
for Functional Languages </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o New Implementation Strategies</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">o any new emerging trend in the functional
programming area</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you are in doubt on whether your
article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2007 program
chair, Marco T. Morazan, at tfp2007@shu.edu.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Acceptance of articles for presentation
at the symposium is based on the review of extended abstracts (6 to 10
pages in length) 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. Further details can be found at the
TFP 2007 website. </font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">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.
