*** FUNARCH 2023 -- CALL FOR PAPERS *** 

The First ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on 
Functional Software Architecture - FP in the Large 

8th September 2023, Seattle, Washington, USA 
Co-located with ICFP 2023

====================================================================== 

TIMELINE: 

Paper submission 1st June 2023 
Author notification 28th June 2023 
Camera ready copy 18th July 2023 
Workshop 8th Sept 2023 

BACKGROUND: 

"Functional Software Architecture" refers to methods of construction 
and structure of large and long-lived software projects that are 
implemented in functional languages and released to real users, 
typically in industry. The goals for the workshop are: 

- To assemble a community interested in software architecture 
techniques and technologies specific to functional programming; 

- To identify, categorize, and document topics relevant to 
the field of functional software architecture; 

- To connect the functional programming community to the software 
architecture community to cross-pollinate between the two. 

The workshop follows on from the Functional Software Architecture 
open space that was held at ICFP 2022 in Slovenia. 

SCOPE: 

The workshop seeks submissions in a range of categories: 

- You're a member of the FP community and have thought about how 
to support programming in the large, for example by framing 
functional ideas in architectural terms or vice verse, comparing 
different languages in terms of their architectural capabilities, 
clarifying architectural roles played by formal methods, proof 
assistants and DSLs, or observing how functional concepts are 
used in other language and architecture communities. 

Great, submit a research paper! 

- You're a member of the architecture community, and have thought 
about how your discipline might help functional programmers, for 
example by applying domain-driven design, implementing hexagonal 
architecture, or designing self-contained systems. 

Excellent, submit a research paper! 

- You've worked on a large project using functional programming, 
and it's worked out well, or terribly, or a mix of both; bonus 
points for deriving architectural principles from your experience. 

Wonderful, submit an experience report! 

- You know a neat architectural idiom or pattern that may be useful 
to others developing large functional software systems. 

Fabulous, submit an architectural pearl! 

- You have something that doesn't fit the above categories, but 
that still relates to functional software architecture, such 
as something that can be written up, or that could be part of 
the workshop format like a panel debate or a fishbowl. 

Superb, submit to the open category! 

Research papers should explain their research contributions in both 
general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, 
explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work, 
and to other languages where appropriate. 

Experience reports and architectural pearls need not necessarily 
report original research results. The key criterion for such papers 
is that they make a contribution from which others can benefit. 
It is not enough simply to describe a large software system, or 
to present ideas that are specific to a particular system. 

Open category submissions that are not intended for publication 
are not required to follow the formatting guidelines, and can 
submit in PDF, word or plain text format as preferred. 

If you are unsure whether your contribution is suitable, or if 
you need any kind of help with your submission, please email 
the program chairs at <funar...@easychair.org>. 

SUBMISSION: 

Papers must be submitted by 1st June 2023 using EasyChair, via the 
following link: https://tinyurl.com/FUNARCH23-submit 

Formatting: submissions intended for publication must be in PDF 
format and follow the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines, using the 
acmart format and the sigplan sub-format. Please use the review 
option, as this enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews. 
For further details, see: https://tinyurl.com/sigplan-acmart 

If your submission is not a research paper, please mark this using 
a subtitle (Experience Report, Architectural Pearl, Open Category). 

Length: submissions must adhere to the limits specified below. 
However, there is no requirement or expectation that all pages 
are used, and authors are encouraged to strive for brevity. 

Research papers 5 to 12+ pages 
Architectural pearls 5 to 12 pages 
Experience reports 3 to 6 pages 
Open category 1 to 6 pages 

Publication: The proceedings of FUNARCH 2023 will be published in 
the ACM Digital Library, and authors of accepted papers are required 
to agree to one of the standard ACM licensing options. Accepted 
papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors, but 
in special cases we may consider remote presentation. 

The official publication date is the date the papers are made available 
in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to 
the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects 
the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
