    Call For Papers: The 20th Annual Workshop on Scheme and Functional
    Programming, 2019
    Co-located with ICFP in Berlin, Germany

    ------------ Details and Dates ----------------
    Workshop website: https://thomas.gilray.org/scheme-2019/
    Submission deadline: May 24, 2019
    Author notification: June 23, 2019
    Camera-ready deadline: June 19, 2019
    Workshop: Sunday, August 18, 2019 (Sunday before ICFP)

    We invite high-quality papers about novel research results, lessons
    learned from practical experience in an industrial or educational
    setting, and even new insights on old ideas. We welcome and encourage submissions that apply to any dynamic functional language, especially
    those that can be considered a 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

    Paper preparation details are available on the Scheme Workshop
    website. To encourage authors to submit their best work, we offer
    three tracks:
    - Full Papers, with a limit of 14 pages. Each accepted paper will be
    presented by its authors in a 25 minute slot including Q&A.
    - Experience Reports, with a limit of 14 pages. Each accepted report
    will be presented by its authors in a 25 minute slot including Q&A.
    - Lightning talks, with a limit of 192 words. Each accepted lightning
    talk will be presented by its authors in a 5 minute slot, followed by
    5 minutes of 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 the University of
    Alabama, Birmingham. However, 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.

    Please help us celebrate twenty years of scheme workshop by submitting
    a paper. If you’d like my personal perspective on why you should
    submit, I’ve written up a short blurb here: http://kmicinski.com/research/functional-programming/scheme/2019/04/10/scheme-workshop/
