Introduction

The Scheme and Functional Programming Workshop is a yearly meeting of programming language practitioners who share a sense of aesthetic as
embodied by the Algorithmic Language Scheme: universality through
minimalism, adequation through self-improvement, flexibility through
rigorous design, and composability through orthogonal features.

Call For Papers

We invite high-quality papers about novel research results, lessons
learned from practical experience in industrial or educational
setting, and even new insights on old ideas. We welcome and encourage submissions that apply to any language that can be considered Scheme:
from strict subsets of RnRS to other "Scheme" implementations, to
Racket, to Lisp dialects including Clojure, Emacs Lisp, Common Lisp,
to functional languages with continuations and/or macros (or extended
to have them) such as Dylan, ECMAcript, Hop, Lua, Scala, Rust, etc.
The elegance of the paper and the relevance of its topic to the
interests of Schemers will matter more than the surface syntax of the
examples used. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Interaction: program-development environments, debugging, testing, refactoring Implementation: interpreters, compilers, tools, garbage collectors, benchmarks Extension: macros, hygiene, domain-specific languages, reflection, and
how such extension affects interaction.
Expression: control, modularity, ad hoc and parametric polymorphism,
types, aspects, ownership models, concurrency, distribution,
parallelism, non-determinism, probabilism, and other programming
paradigms
Integration: build tools, deployment, interoperation with other
languages and systems
Formal semantics: Theory, analyses and transformations, partial evaluation Human Factors: Past, present and future history, evolution and
sociology of the language Scheme, its standard and its dialects
Education: approaches, experiences, curricula
Applications: industrial uses of Scheme
Scheme pearls: elegant, instructive uses of Scheme

Submission Information

Please submit full papers and experience reports to our Submission Page.

[NEW IN 2017!] Paper submissions must use the format acmart and its
sub-format acmlarge. They must be in PDF, printable in black and white
on US Letter size. Microsoft Word and LaTeX templates for this format
are available at:

http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/

This change is in line with ACM conferences (such as ICFP with which
we are colocated) switching from their traditional two-column formats
(e.g. sigplanconf) to the above. While a two-column format with small
fonts is much more practical when reading printed papers, the
single-column format with large fonts is nicer to view on a computer
screen, as most papers are read these days.

To encourage authors to submit their best work, we offer three tracks:

Full Papers, with a limit to 24 pages. Each accepted paper will be
presented by its authors in a 40 minute slot including Q&A.
Experience Reports, with a limit to 12 pages. Each accepted report
will be presented by its authors in a 20 minute slot including Q&A.
Lightning talks, with a limit to 192 words. Each accepted lightning
talk will be presented by its authors in a 5 minute slot including
Q&A.

The size limits above exclude references and any optional appendices.
There are no size limits on appendices, but the papers should stand
without the need to read them, and reviewers are not required to read
them.

Authors are encouraged to publish any code associated to their papers
under an open source license, so that reviewers may try the code and
verify the claims.

Proceedings will be printed as a Technical Report at Indiana University.

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.
