    TIMELINE:

    Paper submission 1st June 2023
    Author notification 28th June 2023
    Camera ready copy 18th July 2023
    Workshop 8th Sept 2023 (date to be confirmed)

    BACKGROUND:

    Functional Software Architecture" refers to methods of construction
    and structure of large and long-lived software projects that are
    implemented in functional languages and released to real users,
    typically in industry. The goals for the workshop are:

    - To assemble a community interested in software architecture
    techniques and technologies specific to functional programming;

    - To identify, categorize, and document topics relevant to
    the field of functional software architecture;

    - To connect the functional programming community to the software
    architecture community to cross-pollinate between the two.

    The workshop follows on from the Functional Software Architecture
    open space that was held at ICFP 2022 in Slovenia.

    SCOPE:

    The workshop seeks submissions in a range of categories:

    - You're a member of the FP community and have thought about how
    to support programming in the large, for example by framing
    functional ideas in architectural terms or vice verse, comparing
    different languages in terms of their architectural capabilities,
    clarifying architectural roles played by formal methods, proofs
    assistants and DSLs, or observing how functional concepts are
    used in other language and architecture communities.

    Great, submit a research paper!

    - You're a member of the architecture community, and have thought
    about how your discipline might help functional programmers, for
    example by applying domain-driven design, implementing hexagonal
    architecture, or designing self-contained systems.

    Excellent, submit a research paper!

    - You've worked on a large project using functional programming,
    and it's worked out well, or terribly, or a mix of both; bonus
    points for deriving architectural principles from your experience.

    Wonderful, submit an experience report!

    - You know a neat architectural idiom or pattern that may be useful
    to others developing large functional software systems.

    Fabulous, submit an architectural pearl!

    - You have something that doesn't fit the above categories, but
    that still relates to functional software architecture, such
    as something that can be written up, or that could be part of
    the workshop format like a panel debate or a fishbowl.

    Superb, submit to the open category!

    Research papers should explain their research contributions in both
    general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished,
    explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work,
    and to other languages where appropriate.

    Experience reports and architectural pearls need not necessarily
    report original research results. The key criterion for such papers
    is that they make a contribution from which others can benefit.
    It is not enough simply to describe a large software system, or
    to present ideas that are specific to a particular system.

    Open category submissions that are not intended for publication
    are not required to follow the formatting guidelines, and can
    submit in PDF, word or plain text format as preferred.

    If you are unsure whether your contribution is suitable, or if
    you need any kind of help with your submission, please email
    the program chairs at <funarch2023@easychair.org>.

    SUBMISSION:

    Papers must be submitted by 1st June 2023 using EasyChair, via the
    following link: https://tinyurl.com/FUNARCH23-submit

    Formatting: submissions must be in PDF format and follow the ACM
    SIGPLAN style guidelines, using the acmart format and the sigplan
    sub-format. Please use the review option when submitting, as this
    enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews. For further
    details, see: https://tinyurl.com/sigplan-acmart

    If your submission is not a research paper, please mark this using
    a subtitle (Experience Report, Architectural Pearl, Open Category).

    Length: submissions must adhere to the limits specified below.
    However, there is no requirement or expectation that all pages
    are used, and authors are encouraged to strive for brevity.

    Research papers 5 to 12+ pages
    Architectural pearls 5 to 12 pages
    Experience reports 3 to 6 pages
    Open category 1 to 6 pages

    Publication: The proceedings of FUNARCH 2023 will be published in
    the ACM Digital Library, and authors of accepted papers are required
    to agree to one of the standard ACM licensing options. Accepted
    papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors,
    but in special cases we may consider remote presentation.

    The official publication date is the date the proceedings are
    made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up
    to two weeks prior to the first day of the workshop.
