The 2021 Scheme and Functional Programming Workshop is calling for submissions.
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, ECMAScript, 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
Important dates
Submission deadline is 26 June 2021.
Authors will be notified by 12 July 2021.
Camera-ready versions are due 21 July 2021.
All deadlines are (23:59 UTC-12), “Anywhere on Earth”.
Workshop will be held online 27 August 2021, 11:00--19:30 UTC
Submission Information
Paper submissions must use the format acmart and its sub-format sigplan acmsmall (note the change from last year). 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 format is in line with ACM conferences (such as ICFP with which we
are colocated). It is recommended to use the review option when
submitting a paper; this option enables line numbers for easy reference
in reviews.
We want to encourage all kinds of submissions, including full papers, experience reports and lightning talks. Papers and experience reports
are expected to be 10–24 pages in length using the single-column SIGPLAN acmart style. (For reference, this is about 5–12 pages of the older
SIGPLAN 2-column 9pt style.) Abstracts submitted for lightning talks
should be limited to 192 words. Each accepted paper and report will be presented by its authors in a 25 minute slot including Q&A. 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 published as a Technical Report at Northeastern University and uploaded to arXiv.org.
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.
Reviewing Process
Scheme 2021 will use lightweight-double-blind reviewing. Submitted
papers must omit author names and institutions and reference the
authors’ own related work in the third person (e.g., not “we build on
our previous work…” but rather “we build on the work of...”).
The purpose is to help the reviewers come to an initial judgement about
the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover
the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the
paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not
be omitted or anonymized).
Formatting Information
Full papers and experience reports should use the sigplan acmsmall
option to acmart.
Lightning talks can be submitted as either a text file or a PDF
file.
It is recommended to use the anonymous and review options to acmart
when submitting a paper; these options hide the author names and enable
line numbers for easy reference in review.
