Workshop on Generic Programming
http://www.cs.uu.nl/~johanj/wgp2000/wgp2000cfp.html
6th July 2000
Ponte de Lima, Portugal
Call for papers
Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making them
more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of
polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably
instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the
parameters of a generic programs are often quite rich in structure. For
example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, kinds, or
even programming paradigms.
This workshop follows on the 5th Mathematics of Program Construction
conference.
This is the second workshop on generic programming, the first workshop on
generic programming (proceedings) was held on Marstrand, Sweden, in 1998.
Submission
Papers (preferably short, no more than 15 pages) should be submitted in
Postscript format by e-mail to reach Johan Jeuring by March 20, 2000.
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop, which
will appear as a technical report at Utrecht University.
Submission deadline: 20 March
Notification: 30 April
Final version due: 20 May
Workshop: 6 July
Topics
Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to
practitioners and theoreticians, but have rarely been a specific focus of
research, until recently. In the last couple of years we have seen:
* several language extensions for generic programming
(PolyP,DrIFT,FML,AOOP,FiSH);
* lots of examples of generic programming (generalized tries,
unification, data compression, XML applications) ;
* programming calculi for generic programming.
We solicit papers on these topics. The list of topics is not exclusive:
papers on other topics related to generic programming are also welcome.
