 CALL FOR PAPERS

 The 2025 Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming
 Co-located with ICFP/SPLASH 2025 (Singapore)

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://conf.researchr.org/home/icfp-splash-2025/scheme-2025__;!!IBzWLUs!VxyiJMm7TV4UgRg421X9S61ytu2vQiTgAR8nWMM57g-oH_fB4CYCCPNLe1FGfpOVNIFaY4GLmFzcEpL29rXre5ZDMuj-ykWm$ 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2025 Scheme and Functional Programming Workshop is calling
for submissions.

We invite high-quality papers and talk proposals 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, 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

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 Thursday July 17, 2025.
- Authors will be notified by Monday August 11, 2025.
- Camera-ready versions are due Monday August 25, 2025.
- Workshop will be held in Singapore on Thursday October 16, 2025.

All deadlines are 23:59 UTC-12, anywhere on Earth.

* Submission Information

We welcome the following kinds of submissions.

- Full papers and experience reports: 5-12 pages.  Accepted
  submissions will be included in the proceedings.

- Position papers: 2-4 pages.  Authors may choose whether to
  publish their paper in the proceedings.

- Lightning talks: 1 page.  Talk abstracts will not be included in
  the proceedings.

All submissions should use the new ‘acmart’ format and the
two-column ‘sigplan’ subformat (not to be confused with the
one-column ‘acmsmall’ subformat).  Please use the anonymous and
review options to obscure author information and enable line numbers.
The page limits do not include references or optional appendices.

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 in the ACM Digital Library.

Please submit papers through the workshop's HotCRP site
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://scheme2025.hotcrp.com/__;!!IBzWLUs!VxyiJMm7TV4UgRg421X9S61ytu2vQiTgAR8nWMM57g-oH_fB4CYCCPNLe1FGfpOVNIFaY4GLmFzcEpL29rXre5ZDMoLCpNu8$ ).

* Lightweight double-blind reviewing

Scheme 2025 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 judgment
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).
