ICFP 2022 Student Research Competition

       Call for Submissions

ICFP 2022 invites students to participate in the Student Research

Competition in order to present their research and get feedback from

prominent members of the programming language research community.

The SRC consists of three rounds:

* Submission of an extended abstract

* Poster session at ICFP 2022

* Finalists' presentations at ICFP 2022

During the first round students submit an extended abstract detailing

their research to be reviewed by the program committee. Those students

whose abstracts get accepted advance to the poster session round which

will take place during ICFP 2022. Winners of the poster session

advance to next round, where they will give a 5-minute presentation

about their work on the ICFP main stage in front of a live audience.

### IMPORTANT DATES

* Submission Deadline: 8 June 2022 (Wednesday)

* Author Notification: 24 June 2022 (Friday)

* ICFP 2022 Conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia:

    11 September 2022 (Sunday) - 16 September 2022 (Friday)

### SUBMISSION OF EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

* Submission Website: https://icfp22src.hotcrp.com

Each submission (referred to as "abstract" below) should include the

student author's name and e-mail address; institutional affiliation;

research advisor's name; ACM student member number; category

(undergraduate or graduate); research title; and an extended abstract

addressing the following:

* Problem and Motivation: Clearly state the problem being addressed and

  explain the reasons for seeking a solution to this problem.

* Background and Related Work: Describe the specialized (but

  pertinent) background necessary to appreciate the work in the

  context of ICFP areas of interest. Include references to the

  literature where appropriate, and briefly explain where your work

  departs from that done by others.

* Approach and Uniqueness: Describe your approach in addressing the

  problem and clearly state how your approach is novel.

* Results and Contributions: Clearly show how the results of your work

  contribute to programming language design and implementation in

  particular and to computer science in general; explain the

  significance of those results.

* Submissions must be original research that is not already published

  at ICFP or another conference or journal. One of the goals of the

  SRC is to give students feedback on ongoing, unpublished

  work. Furthermore, the abstract must be authored solely by the

  student. If the work is collaborative with others and/or part of a

  larger group project, the abstract should make clear what the

  student's role was and should focus on that portion of the work.

* Formatting: Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black

  and white on US Letter sized paper, and interpretable by common PDF

  tools. All submissions must adhere to the "ACM Small" template that

  is available (in both LaTeX and Word formats) from

  https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions. For authors

  using LaTeX, a lighter-weight package, including only the essential

  files, is available from

  http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format. The submission

  must not exceed 3 pages in PDF format. Reference lists do not count

  towards the 3-page limit.
