Dear all, [Even if the lectures focus on Haskell, this summer school might be of interest to readers of the caml-list.]
I am happy to annouce the CEA-EDF-INRIA summer school on FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING FOR PARALLEL AND CONCURRENT APPLICATIONS 11-22 June 2012, Castle of Cadarache, Saint Paul Lez Durance, France http://www-hpc.cea.fr/SummerSchools2012-CS.htm Objectives The aim of the summer school is to give a thorough and application- oriented introduction to functional programming using the programming language Haskell. A special focus is on parallel and concurrent programming, highlighting the ways in which features such as strong typing and purity make it dramatically easier to write reliable parallel or concurrent code. The school is split into three different courses that highlight different aspects of functional programming. All courses consist of lectures and hands-on sessions where everyone can try out the language on several exercises. Public This school is a 2 weeks course for engineers, and for students and researchers. Participants should be familiar with programming (e.g. in C or Java), but the school will be self-contained and no preliminary knowledge of functional programing is required. Speakers Ralf Hinze (Oxford University) Andres Löh (Well-Typed) Simon Marlow (Microsoft Research) Talks (to be confirmed) Joe Armstrong, Mark Shinwell, Anil Madhavapeddy. Registration and contact: The deadline for registration is May 30, 2012. Please contact: Régis Vizet - CEA regis.vizet (at) cea.fr tel: 0033 1 69 26 47 45 for further informations.
