    ICFP 2005 seeks original papers on the art and science of functional
    programming.  Submissions are invited on all topics ranging from
    principles to practice, from foundations to features, from abstraction
    to application.  The scope includes all languages that encourage
    functional programming, including both purely applicative and
    imperative languages, as well as languages with objects and
    concurrency.  Particular topics of interest include:

      * Applications and domain-specific languages: Systems programming,
        scientific and numerical computing, symbolic computing and
        artificial intelligence, databases, graphical user interfaces,
        multimedia programming, application scripting, system
        administration, distributed-systems and web programming, XML
        processing, security.

      * Foundations: Formal semantics, lambda calculus, type theory,
        monads, continuations, control, state, effects.

      * Design: Algorithms and data structures, modules and type systems,
        concurrency and distribution, components and composition,
        relations to object-oriented and logic programming.

      * Implementation: Abstract machines, compile-time and run-time
        optimization, just-in-time compilers, memory management.
        Interfaces to foreign functions, services, components and
        low-level machine resources.

      * Transformation and analysis: Abstract interpretation, partial
        evaluation, program transformation.

      * Software-development techniques for functional programming: Design
        patterns, specification, verification, validation, debugging, test
        generation, tracing and profiling.

      * Practice and experience: Functional programming in education and
        industry.

      * Functional pearls: Elegant, instructive examples of functional
        programming.

    Papers in the last three categories need not necessarily report
    original research results; they may instead, for example, report
    practical experience that will be useful to others, re-usable
    programming idioms, or elegant new ways of approaching a problem.

    A special issue of the Journal of Functional Programming will
    highlight selected papers from the meeting.
