Wer die Perle in Händen hält,
fragt nicht nach der Muschel.
- Peter Benary

A special issue of the Journal of Functional Programming will be devoted to Functional Pearls. The submission deadline is 31 August 2002.

Scope

Do you have a paper that is small, rounded and enjoyable to read? Please consider submitting it to the Special Issue on Functional Pearls, as we intend to string a shiny necklace. If you don't have a pearl, write one today! Papers can be on any subject connected to functional programming. A pearl is typically around 8 pages, though there is no strict page limit. The special issue also welcomes tutorial or educational papers in a broad sense.

Submission details

Manuscripts should be unpublished works and not submitted elsewhere. Revised and polished versions of papers published in conference proceedings that have not appeared in archival journals are eligible for submission. All submissions will be reviewed according to the usual standards of scholarship and judged by elegance of development and clarity of expression. One of the main reviewers will be Richard Bird, the editor of JFP's regular Functional Pearls column.

Deadline for submission: 31 August 2002
Notification of acceptance or rejection: 30 November 2002
Revised version due: 31 January 2003

Submissions should be sent to the Guest Editor (see address below), with a copy to Nasreen Ahmad (nasreen@dcs.gla.ac.uk). Submitted articles should be sent in PDF or Postscript format, preferably gzipped and uuencoded. The use of the JFP style files is strongly recommended. In addition, please send, as plain text, title, abstract (if any), and contact information. The submission deadline is 31 August 2002. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by 30 November 2002. Revised versions are due on 31 January 2003.
