	Journal of Functional Programming: the state of play
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

		http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/jfp

We are delighted to announce the publication of a special issue of JFP
5(3) on applications of functional programming.  Edited by Rinus
Plasmeijer and Pieter Hartel, it contains six papers on applications
ranging from photon transport to text retrieval, from spreadsheets to
solid modelling.

The titles of the papers are given below.  You can see their abstracts too
on the above URL.  (You'll also now find titles and abstracts for the whole
of Volumes 4 and 5, and titles for Volumes 1-3.)


We woul like to take this opportunity to encourage you to

		** submit papers to JFP **

At one point we had so many submissions that we built up rather a long print
queue, but Cambridge University Press have agreed to move from 4 to 6 issues
a year (starting in 1996), and to make them big issues, which has
effectively solved the print-queue problem.

We offer a 12-week turnaround to a decision about submitted papers, and
the delay from final manuscript to publication is now dropping fast (our
target is 3 months).

Please submit papers on any aspect of functional programming to any of the
Editors:
		Henk Barendregt		henk@cs.kun.nl
		Paul Hudak		hudak@cs.yale.edu
		John Hughes		rjmh@cs.chalmers.se
		Simon Peyton Jones	simonpj@dcs.gla.ac.uk
		Philip Wadler		wadler@dcs.gla.ac.uk

You can find full details of the journal's scope, editorial policy, Latex
style files, and subscription information on the URL given above.
