                                IFL 2025

37th Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages

                        Montevideo, Uruguay

                        October 1-3, 2025

=====================================================================
### Scope

The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively
engaged in the implementation and application of functional and
function-based programming languages. IFL 2025 will be a venue for
researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in
progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and
application of functional languages and function-based programming.

### Topics of interest

Topics of interest to IFL include, but are not limited to:

- language concepts
- type systems, type checking, type inferencing
- compilation techniques
- staged compilation
- run-time function specialisation
- run-time code generation
- partial evaluation
- (abstract) interpretation
- meta-programming
- generic programming
- automatic program generation
- array processing
- concurrent/parallel programming
- concurrent/parallel program execution
- embedded systems
- web applications
- (embedded) domain specific languages
- security
- novel memory management techniques
- run-time profiling performance measurements
- debugging and tracing
- virtual/abstract machine architectures
- validation, verification of functional programs
- tools and programming techniques

### Peer-review process

Differently from previous editions of IFL, IFL 2025 solicits two kinds
of submissions:

* Regular papers (12 pages excluding references)
* Draft papers for presentations ('weak' limit between 8 and 15 pages)

Regular papers will undergo a rigorous review by the program
committee, and will be evaluated according to their correctness,
novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Regular
papers can be: accepted for publication in the formal proceedings,
accepted for presentation at the symposium or rejected.
Draft papers will be screened to make sure that they are within the
scope of IFL, and will be accepted for presentation or rejected
accordingly.
We require that at least one of the authors present the work at IFL 2025.
Authors of accepted presentations will be given the opportunity to
incorporate the feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be
invited to submit a revised full article for the formal
post-proceedings after the symposium. The program committee will
evaluate these submissions according to their correctness, novelty,
originality, relevance, significance, and clarity, and will thereby
determine whether the paper is accepted or rejected.

Important note to authors about the new ACM open access publishing model
ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the International

Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Authors based at institutions that are
not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a waiver will be
required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS
article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be
applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here:
https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.

Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:

- Full details of the new ICPS publishing model:
  https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/faq

- Full details of the ACM Open program:

- Please direct all questions about the new model to icps-info@acm.org.

### Peter Landin Prize

The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the
symposium every year. The honoured article is selected by the program
committee based on the submissions received for the formal review
process. The prize carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros.
