CALL FOR PAPERS
1988 ACM Conference on
LISP AND FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Snowbird, Utah, July 25-27, 1988
The 1988 ACM Conference on LISP and Functional Programming is the
fifth in a series of biennial conferences devoted to the theory,
design, and implementation of programming languages and systems
that support symbolic computation. The conference is jointly
sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, SIGACT, and SIGART. Papers presented
at the conference must include new ideas or experimental results
that have not been previously published. The conference program
is not limited to topics discussed in previous conferences in the
series; authors are strongly encouraged to submit papers that in-
troduce important new topics that are relevant to functional pro-
gramming and symbolic computation. The major topics that have
been addressed at previous conferences include:
1) programming language concepts and facilities
2) implementation methods
3) machine architectures
4) semantic foundations
5) programming logics
6) program development environments
7) applications of symbolic computation Authors are invited to
submit 11 copies of a technical summary of a prospective confer-
ence paper to the program committee chairman. The length of the
summary should not exceed 3,000 words (10 pages double-spaced or
typeset 10-point on 16-point spacing). Since the committee ex-
pects to receive a large number of submissions, the summary
should be organized so that it is easily understood. It is im-
portant for the summary to identify what has been accomplished,
explain why it is significant, and compare it with previous work.
Submissions must be received by Jan 22, 1988. They should in-
clude a return postal address and an electronic mail address if
it is available. Authors will be notified of the acceptance or
rejection of their papers by March 11, 1988. Full versions of
the accepted papers must be received in camera-ready form by
April 22, 1988. Authors of accepted papers will be required to
sign ACM copyright release forms. Proceedings will be distribut-
ed at the conference and will later be available for purchase
from the ACM. The conference site at Snowbird, Utah is a resort
located in the rugged Wasatch mountain range approximately 35
miles from Salt Lake City. Summer activities include hiking,
climbing, swimming, tennis, and wildflower photography.
