Extended deadline: Workshop on Generative Programming (GP2002)
Workshop on Generative Programming 2002 (GP2002) Austin (Texas), April 15, 2002 http://www.cwi.nl/GP2002 (extended) Submission deadline: February 28, 2002 Satelite of the 7th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR7) Background -- The goal of generative programming is to replace manual search, adaptation, and assembly of components with the automatic generation of needed components on demand. Generative technology has been in practical use for decades (e.g., compiler development, application generation, automatic configuration management, preprocessing, meta-programming). However, developing new domain-specific languages (DSLs), application generators, and component generators has been extremely hard, as it requires being knowledgeable and experienced both in language design and compiler development. Recent developments such as XML technologies and template meta-programming revived the interest in generative programming by making it more accessible to developers. Objectives -- The workshop aims to bring together practitioners, researchers, academics, and students to discuss the state-of-the-art of generative techniques and their impact on software reuse. The goal is to share experience, consolidate successful techniques, and identify the most promising application areas and open issues for future work. Topics of interest -- * impact of generative techniques on component-based development and software reuse. * assessing risks and benefits of deploying generative techniques; * maintenance of generators. * reuse of generic components, generators, generator components, configuration languages, and other generative programming assets across boundaries of projects and/or organizations. * styles of generative programming (application generators, generators based on XML technologies, template languages (e.g., JSP), template meta-programming, transformational systems, intentional languages, aspects, subjects, etc), particularly their uses and limitations. * generation of code artifacts, such as application logic, UIs, database schemas, and middleware integration. * generation of non-code artifacts such as test cases, documentation, tutorials, and help systems. * capturing configuration knowledge, for example, in DSLs, and extensible languages. * influence on software architecture (e.g., building and customizing frameworks and applying patterns). * testing generic and generative models. * industrial applications of generative technology. Submissions --- Potential participants are asked to submit a two-page position paper detailing their experience with generative techniques, their perspective on one or more of the above topics, and their planned contribution to the workshop. We seek concrete case studies, and potential topics of discussion in order to ground the workshop in real-world issues. Please mail your submission (in PDF or PS) to Joost Visser ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by February 28, 2002. Important Dates --- * Workshop submission deadline: February 28, 2002 * Notification of acceptance: March 14, 2002 * Workshop at ICSR7: April 15, 2002 Workshop format --- The workshop will aim to foster discussion and interaction rather than presentations. Presentations will serve to introduce a case study, provoke discussion by presenting a controversial point of view, or introduce new points of view. However, all participants will be given a chance to make a short presentation. All accepted position papers will be published on the workshop page prior to the workshop and the participants will be asked to read the papers prior to the workshop. Tentative schedule -- Morning session: * Introductory talk on GP by the organizers. * First block of presentations, each consisting of a 10 minute talk by the author of an accepted paper followed by 5 minutes of answering questions from the audience. The questions are meant only for clarification; discussion is postponed to the afternoon sessions. * Second block of presentations. Afternoon session: * Short invited talk. * Pro-and-contra session where each paper is discussed by two volunteers that defend opposing views. The audience is invited to provide additional arguments. * Open discussion session aimed at identifying and summarizing open issues and topics for future work. Dissemination of results The results of the workshop will be summarized in a workshop report. The workshop report and the position papers will be available form the workshop website after the workshop. Related

By not so obvious I mean that they deal with generic programming rather than functional programming in general. http://www.cs.vu.nl/Strafunski/dp-sf/ We use a certain FORMAT for design patterns, and there is some modest analysis why this format is appropriate. Also, there is some discussion why design patterns would do good for functional programming. This might be interesting in the further process of accumulating design patterns for functional programming. I have added the design pattern description format to the Haskell wiki: http://haskell.org/wiki/wiki?DesignPatternsForFunctionalStrategicProgramming Perhaps it would be interesting to see if some of the CommonHaskellIdioms described on this wiki can be cast into the proposed design pattern format as well.

See: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~ralf/padl03/ And a quote from the abstract: In a selection of case studies, we demonstrate that typed functional programming in Haskell, augmented with Strafunski's support for generic traversal and external components, is very appropriate for the development of practical language processors. In particular, we discuss using Haskell for Cobol reverse engineering, Java code metrics, and Haskell re-engineering. Then again, we are not using only Haskell, since we resort to external components e.g. for parsing. Regards, Joost -- Dr. ir.

Re: Haskell for non-Haskell's sake
Hi Hal and others, We would like to hear your thoughts on the viability of a conference or workshop dedicated to applications of Haskell for non-Haskell purposes. On Saturday 30 August 2003 01:39, Hal Daume III wrote: I'm attempting to get a sense of the topology of the Haskell community. Based on the Haskell Communities Activities reports, it seems that the large majority of people use Haskell for Haskell's sake. This bias seems to exist not only in the Communities Activities reports, but also in the Haskell mailing lists and in the Haskell-related events, such as the Haskell Workshop. One could easily deduce that Haskell is still very much an academic language, of interest to language _designers_ more than to language _users_. However, the reactions to your inquiry about use of Haskell for non-Haskell purposes suggests that a significant group of language _users_ does actually exist, though their voice is not heard too often. We think (hope) there could be room for a Haskell One event, quite a bit more modest than JavaOne, but similarly intended to bring together Haskell Developers. Submissions would be explicitly judged by how practical and how proven the described technology is. Experience reports would be more than welcome. There could be interactive tool-demo's, hands-on lab sessions, a programming contest, etc. If the focus is on applications only (excluding theory, language-design, and anything that is Haskell-for-Haskell's sake), this HaskellOne event could maybe be a satelite to PLI. We are interested to know your thoughts on such an event, and whether the outcome of your poll suggests it could be viable. Regards, Joost Visser João Saraiva PS: If sufficient interest exists, we are willing to contribute to the origanization. -- Dr. ir.

This concerns many areas of software engineering: software reverse and re-engineering, model-driven approaches, automated software engineering, generic language technology, to name a few. These areas differ with regard to the specific sorts of meta-models (or grammars, schemas, formats etc.) that underly the involved artifacts, and with regard to the specific techniques that are employed for the generation and the transformation of the artifacts. The tutorials are given by renowned representatives of complementary approaches and problem domains. Each tutorial combines foundations, methods, examples, and tool support. The program of the summer school also features invited technology presentations, which present setups for generative and transformational techniques. These presentations complement each other in terms of the chosen application domains, case studies, and the underlying concepts. Furthermore, the program of the school also features a participants workshop. All students of the summer school will be invited to give a presentation about their ongoing work. They will be asked to submit a title and an abstract beforehand. The senior researchers present at the summer school will provide the students with feedback on their presentations. All summer school material will be collected in proceedings that are handed out to the participants. Formal proceedings will be compiled after the summer school, where all contributions are subjected to additional reviewing. The formal proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series of Springer.

[Haskell] Re: [Haskell-cafe] Strafunski
Hi Chris, Changes in the libraries of GHC have broken Strafunski compatibility in the past. I have not upgraded to GHC 6.5 myself so I'm not sure if this is the case again. Which versions of DrIFT and Strafunski are you using? Based on what you write, it seems new instances for Typeable have been added to the libs (possibly using deriving), which means some of your own instances are now redundant. You'll have to remove them (which will then break compatibility of your code with 6.4.1, sigh). Alternatively, you may consider to switch from the drift-default mode of Strafunski to the deriving mode. This means that you will be relying on the Typeable+Data classes rather than on the Typeable +Term classes. You make the switch simply by changing the search path, all your strategic functions should work like before. I guess GHC 6.5 supports deriving both for Typeable and Data (personally, I prefer to use DriFT rather than the deriving clause, because it gives me a bit more control over visibility of instances). For details, see the section Supported models of functional strategies in the README file of StrategyLib. Regards, Joost -- Dr. ir.
