=== Objectives and scope ===

Formal techniques can help analyse programs, precisely describe program
behaviour, and verify program properties. Modern programming languages
are interesting targets for formal techniques due to their ubiquity and wide
user base, stable and well-defined interfaces and platforms, and powerful
(but also complex) libraries. New languages and applications in this space are
continually arising, resulting in new programming languages  research
challenges.

Work on formal techniques and tools and on the formal underpinnings of
programming languages themselves naturally complement each other. FTfJP is an
established workshop which has run annually since 1999 alongside ECOOP, with
the goal of bringing together people working in both fields.

The workshop has a broad PL theme; the most important criterion is that
submissions will generate interesting discussions within this community. The
term 'Java-like' is somewhat historic and should be interpreted broadly: FTfJP
solicits and welcomes submission relating to programming languages in general,
beyond Java. Past editions of FTfJP have featured work on C++, JavaScript, Rust,
and other languages and calculi. The term 'formal techniques' has a similarly
broad interpretation.

Example topics of interest include:

- Language design and semantics
- Type systems
- Concurrency and new application domains
- Specification and verification of program properties
- Program analysis (static or dynamic)
- Program synthesis
- Security
- Pearls (programs or proofs)

FTfJP welcomes submissions on technical contributions, case studies, experience reports, challenge proposals, tools, and position papers. Webpages for previous workshops in this series are available at  https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fftfjp.github.io%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7C4692e4e08dd34f4f203a08dc80943bbe%7Ccc7df24760ce4a0f9d75704cf60efc64%7C0%7C0%7C638526621353110182%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WSt%2BkJQp4tGtTqxsJzQHgTuZLToCQ0NZCtz7x23hZ0c%3D&reserved=0.

=== Paper Categories ===

Contributions are sought in two categories:

- Full Papers (6 pages, excluding references) present a technical contribution, case study, or detailed experience report. We welcome both complete and incomplete technical results; ongoing work is particularly welcome, provided it is substantial enough to stimulate interesting discussions.
- Short Papers (2 pages, excluding references) should advocate a promising research direction, or otherwise present a position likely to stimulate discussion at the workshop. We encourage e.g. established researchers to set out a personal vision, and beginning researchers to present a planned path to a PhD.

Both types of contributions will benefit from feedback received at the workshop. Submissions will be peer reviewed, and will be evaluated based on their clarity and their potential to generate interesting discussions. Reviewing will be single blind, i.e, submissions need not be anonymized.

The format of the workshop encourages interaction. FTfJP is a forum in which a wide range of people share their expertise, from experienced researchers to beginning PhD students.


=== Submission guidelines ===

All submissions and reviews will be managed within EasyChair. Submissions should be made via https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Dftfjp2024&data=05%7C02%7C%7C4692e4e08dd34f4f203a08dc80943bbe%7Ccc7df24760ce4a0f9d75704cf60efc64%7C0%7C0%7C638526621353110182%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sAwvd%2B%2FxF4izfkQru2DF727h6HRSjkmhzG%2FC8rpoSy8%3D&reserved=0. There is no need to indicate the paper category (long/short).

Submissions should be in acmart/sigplan style, 10pt font. Formatting requirements are detailed on the SIGPLAN Author Information page (https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sigplan.org%2FResources%2FAuthor&data=05%7C02%7C%7C4692e4e08dd34f4f203a08dc80943bbe%7Ccc7df24760ce4a0f9d75704cf60efc64%7C0%7C0%7C638526621353110182%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=zmX1MkEusjak%2BuyWeAYFKkdWhr46Rm2XGMDLb4KHRvg%3D&reserved=0).

We plan that, as in previous years, accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, though authors will be able to opt out of this publication, if desired. At least one author of an accepted paper must register to the conference by the early registration date and attend the workshop to present the work and participate in the discussions.
