The 2008 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming
will be held
* in Victoria, British Columbia,
* on Saturday, 20 September, two days before ICFP.
The submission deadline is Friday, 20 June.
I hope to see many of you in that lovely city. I also
encourage you to submit a paper. If your friends have
something to say about Scheme or functional programming,
I hope you will encourage them to submit papers also.

Call for Papers
The 2008 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming
provides an op****tunity to re****t experience with the
programming languages known as Scheme, to discuss ideas
for the future of Scheme, and to present research related
to Scheme and functional programming. We encourage
everyone interested in Scheme to participate.
This workshop is associated with and will be held two days
before the opening of the 2008 International Conference
on Functional Programming (ICFP), which is sponsored by
ACM SIGPLAN.
We invite authors to submit papers in either of two
categories: technical papers and experience papers.
Authors of both technical and experience papers are invited
to describe, in an appendix, proposals for demonstrating
their work or ideas during the workshop.
We also invite proposals for panel discussions on topics
of interest to the Scheme community. The author(s) of an
accepted proposal for panel discussion will give a brief
introduction to the topic before moderating the discussion
that follows.
Submissions are due on Friday, 20 June. Authors will be
notified of the program committee's decision by 14 July.
The final versions of accepted papers will be due on 15
August.
Publication of a paper at this workshop is not intended
to replace conference or journal publication, and does not
preclude republication of a more complete or finished
version of the paper at some later conference or in a
journal.
Technical papers
Topics of interest for technical papers include (but are not limited
to):
* ****tability and interoperability: Issues, solutions,
libraries, surveys, standards, etc.
* Design: Language critiques and extensions, concurrent
and distributed computing, texts, records, objects,
modules, macros, types, etc.
* Implementation: Compilers, interpreters, runtime systems,
profilers, debuggers, programming environments, etc.
* Theory: Semantics, memory models, concurrency, correctness
of analyses, transformations, and programs, etc.
* Education: Teaching functional programming, teaching
with Scheme, etc.
Experience papers
Topics of interest for experience papers include (but are not limited
to):
* Applications: Interesting uses of Scheme in commercial
or real-world contexts.
* Practice and experience: Experience with Scheme in
education and industry, especially experience that
identifies things Scheme does well or poorly.
* Scheme pearls: Short papers that describe elegant and
enlightening uses of Scheme.
Experience papers need not re****t original research results;
they may instead re****t experience that will benefit others,
such as elegant or realistic solutions to practical problems.
The key criterion for such a paper is that it helps other
practitioners. It is not enough simply to describe a program!
