Topics

The workshop invites submissions related to Scheme and functional programming.

We also welcome submissions related to dynamic or multiparadigmatic languages and programming techniques.

The following topics are especially encouraged:

  • compiler-implementation techniques;
  • compiler optimization;
  • continuations (naturally);
  • data structures;
  • domain-specific languages;
  • commercial applications of Scheme;
  • computational reflection;
  • contracts;
  • education;
  • garbage collection;
  • higher-order programming;
  • language-based security;
  • language design;
  • macros and hygiene;
  • mixing static and dynamic typing;
  • module systems;
  • partial evaluation;
  • semantics;
  • static analysis;
  • syntactic extensibility;
  • tools and packages; and
  • web-based development.

Submission requirements

Submissions must be in ACM proceedings format, 9-point or 10-point type. Microsoft Word and LaTeX templates for this format are available at:

http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm

Submissions should be in PDF and printable on US Letter or A4 paper.

There is no maximum length limit on submissions, but it is the responsibility of the authors to keep reviewers motivated. For example, if the initial part of the paper feels uninteresting, reviewers are not obligated to continue reading.

Good submissions will likely be in the range of 6 to 12 pages. Pearls are welcome as well.

Proceedings will be available online.

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.

Drafts or full papers may be submitted at any time to:
