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appearing in the draft proceedings are not 
peer-reviewed publications.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

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
