Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming
This is the official web-site for the Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming(TFP), formerly known as the Scottish Functional Programming
Workshop (SFP). Information on individual
workshops can be found below.
History of TFP
Central Scotland has been very influential in the development of functional
programming, with notable contributions including the design, development
and implementation of SASL, Standard ML and Haskell. At present there are
internationally recognised research groups at the University of Edinburgh,
University of Glasgow, Heriot-Watt University and the University of St Andrews,
investigating a variety of theoretical and practical aspects of functional
programming. The Scottish Functional Programming Workshops draw on the
strengths of these and other Scottish centres, and are the worthy successor
to the highly-successful series of Glasgow Functional Programming Workshops
which ran from 1988 to 1998 (Bibtex entries for almost all GlaFP papers).
Scope of the Workshop
The scope of the TFP symposia covers all aspects of functional programming.
More information on particular topics can be found on a separate web page.
TFP Advisory Committee
The TFP advisory committee deals with the long term
planning of the workshop series and provides help for each year's
programme and local chairs in organising the workshop.
Information for Authors
When preparing a paper for submission to a TFP symposium, please check the
website for any style guides and page limits. For the camera-ready
versions of TFP papers we use the TFP Latex
style. Authors are encouraged to use this style file for the draft
proceedings too. More resources for
authors of TFP papers, including Bibtex files for all Glasgow FP and
SFP/TFP papers, can be found on a separate web page.
