SFP 2000
Second Scottish Functional Programming Workshop
University of St Andrews, Scotland, 26th to 28th July 2000
http://www-fp.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/sfp2000
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Following on from the success of the First Scottish Functional
Programming Workshop, held in Stirling, the second workshop will be held
at the ancient University of St Andrews, in the Kingdom of Fife, from
26th to 28th July 2000.
Central Scotland has been very influential in the development of
functional programming, with notable contributions including the design,
development and implementation of SASL, Standard ML and Haskell. At
present there are internationally recognised research groups at the
University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, Heriot-Watt University
and the University of St Andrews, investigating a variety of theoretical
and practical aspects of functional programming. The Scottish Functional
Programming Workshops draw on the strengths of these and other Scottish
centres, and are the worthy successor to the highly-successful series of
Glasgow Functional Programming Workshops which ran from 1988 to 1998.
The scope of the Workshops covers all aspects of functional programming,
including (but not restricted to):
. language design
. proof and transformation
. semantics and models
. implementation
. applications
. type systems
. parallelism and distribution
. performance modelling & profiling
. education
. real time and reactive programming
. programming methodologies
Participants will be selected on the basis of a two page abstract.
Participation is open, but if the workshop is oversubscribed then some
preference may be shown to researchers in Scotland, especially
postgraduate students, and to those with links to Scottish research
groups.
All participants are expected to give a short presentation of their
research. Papers from all participants will appear in the draft
proceedings. A fully refereed proceedings will be published as a book
after the workshop.
