Preface
With the 13th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP 2012),
held in St. Andrews, Scotland, the TFP series returned to its origins in Scot-
land.TFPistheheirofthesuccessfulseriesofScottishFunctionalProgramming
Workshops, which randuring 1999–2002,organizedat severalScottish universi-
ties.Reflectingtheincreasinglyinternationalaudienceoftheseevents,from2003
onwards these became the Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming,
andwereheldinEdinburgh(2003),inMunich(2004),inTallinn(2005),inNot-
tingham (2006), in New York (2007), in Nijmegen (2008), in Komarno (2009),
in Oklahoma (2010), and in Madrid (2011).
In June 2012 TFP was the main event of a week of functional programming
extravaganzaatthe Universityof St. Andrews, attended by more than80 regis-
teredparticipants.Co-locatedeventsweretheInternationalWorkshoponTrends
in Functional Programming in Education (TFPIE 2012), the Workshop on 70
YearsofLambdaCalculus,anErlangFactoryLite, andatechnicalworkshopon
Patterns for Multicores (ParaPhrase/RELEASEprojects).
In total, TFP 2012 received 49 submissions for the draft proceedings. After
a screening process, 41 of these papers were accepted for the draft proceedings
and for presentation at the symposium. The screening process was performed
by a subset of the Program Committee and aimed to ensure that all contribu-
tions are in scope andcontain relevantinformationfor the TFP audience. After
TFP 2012, all authors of presentations were invited to submit full papers to a
formal refereeing process, the result of which is presented in these proceedings.
The papers in these proceedings have been judged by members of the Program
Committee on their contribution to the research area with appropriate criteria
applied to each category of paper. For each paper at least three referee reports
were produced. Based on these reports, the international Program Committee
selectedthe paperspresentedinthese proceedings.Intotal,36papersweresub-
mitted for the formal refereeing process and 18 papers were accepted.
Additionally to these refereed papers, these proceedings feature a paper by
a high-profile member of the research community, David A. Turner, Professor
Emeritus at Middlesex University and at the University of Kent. Prof. Turner
is the inventor of such influential functional languages as Miranda, KRC and
SASL.Prof.Turnerpresentedaninvitedtalkon“TheHistoryofLazyFunctional
ProgrammingLanguages”atthesymposiumandgraciouslyagreedtosummarize
his insights into the development of functional languages in the first paper in
these proceedings. We would like to thank Prof. Turner for his contribution to
TFP, which was most appreciated by the attendees.

that students are almost by definition part of new subject trends. A student
paper is one for which the authors state that the paper is mainly the work of

students, the students are listed as first authors, and a student would present
the paper.Thesepapersalsoreceiveanextraroundoffeedbackby the Program
Committee before they are submitted to the standard review process for formal
publication. Inthis way,students canimprovetheir papersbefore they compete
within a full formal refereeing process. In 2012, 23 of the 49 papers submitted
for the draft proceedings were student papers. Acknowledgingthe contributions
by student papers, the TFP Program Committee awards a prize for the best
student paper each year. We are delighted to announce that for TFP 2012 the
TFP prize for the best student paper was awardedto:
Luminous Fennell and Peter Thiemann for the paper
“The Blame Theorem for a Linear Lambda Calculus with Type
Dynamic.”

contribution to the field. Based on a short-list of papers provided by the TFP
2012 Program Committee, the EAPLS board made the final selection for this
award. We are therefore proud to announce that the EAPLS prize for the best
paper of TFP 2012 was awardedto:
Josef Svenningsson and Emil Axelsson for the paper
“Combining Deep and Shallow Embedding for EDSL.”
Finally, we are grateful for the sponsorship by Erlang Solutions Ltd. and the
Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA). The TFP Best
Student Paper award is funded by the TFP series. The EAPLS Best Paper
Awardis funded by the EuropeanAssociationfor ProgrammingLanguagesand
Systems.
