Topics

The workshop invites submissions related to Scheme and functional programming.

We also welcome submissions related to dynamic or multiparadigmatic languages and programming techniques.

The following topics are especially encouraged:

  • compiler-implementation techniques;
  • compiler optimization;
  • continuations;
  • data structures;
  • domain-specific languages;
  • commercial applications of Scheme;
  • computational reflection;
  • contracts;
  • education;
  • garbage collection;
  • higher-order programming;
  • language-based security;
  • language design;
  • macros and hygiene;
  • mixing static and dynamic typing;
  • module systems;
  • partial evaluation;
  • semantics;
  • static analysis;
  • syntactic extensibility;
  • tools and packages; and
  • web-based development.

Submission requirements

Submissions must be in ACM proceedings format, 9-point 10-point type. Microsoft Word and LaTeX templates for this format are available at:

http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm

Submissions should be in PDF and printable on US Letter.

There is no maximum length limit on submissions, but it is the responsibility of the authors to keep reviewers motivated. If the initial part of the paper is uninteresting, reviewers are not obligated to continue reading.

Good submissions will likely be in the range of 6 to 12 pages (perhaps slightly longer, given the increased font size).
To encourage authors to submit their best work, this year we are encouraging shorter papers (around 6 pages, excluding references). This is to allow authors to submit longer, revised versions of their papers to archival conferences or journals. Longer papers (10--12 pages) are also acceptable, if the extra space is needed.

Proceedings will be printed as a University of Utah Technical Report.

Publication of a paper at this workshop is not intended to replace conference or journal publication, and does not preclude re-publication of a more complete or finished version of the paper at some later conference or in a journal.
