Hello, Here is the latest Caml Weekly News, for the week of March 19 to 26, 2013.
1) Case study in optimization: porting a compiler from OCaml to F# 2) Oregon Programming Languages Summer School - call for participation 3) Other Caml News ======================================================================== 1) Case study in optimization: porting a compiler from OCaml to F# Archive: <https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2013-03/msg00176.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Deep in this thread, Roberto Di Cosmo said: We are quite happy that Parmap is useful in your applications, and would love to know more about your use cases. Btw, I uploaded to HAL an author version of the article published in Procedia Computer Science, so that everybody can access the paper ... it is available at <http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/69/25/15/PDF/parmap-author-file.pdf> ======================================================================== 2) Oregon Programming Languages Summer School - call for participation Archive: <https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2013-03/msg00202.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Amal Ahmed announced: This year's Oregon PL Summer School will take place from July 22nd to August 3rd. The registration deadline is April 16th. Full information on registration and scholarships an be found here: <http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/Activities/summerschool> The school has a long and successful tradition (sponsored by the NSF, ACM SIGPLAN, and industry). It covers current research in the theory and practice of programming languages. Material is presented at a tutorial level that will help graduate students and researchers from academia or industry understand the critical issues and open problems confronting the field. Prerequisites are an elementary knowledge of logic and mathematics, as covered in undergraduate classes on discrete mathematics, and some knowledge of programming languages at the level of an undergraduate survey course. A new feature this year is a Coq boot camp session, to be held on July 21st -- one day before the summer school officially begins. The boot camp will provide a one-day, intensive, hands-on introduction to the practical mechanics of the Coq proof assistant. More information is available at the summer school website. This year's program is titled Types, Logic, and Verification. The speakers and topics include: Amal Ahmed -- Logical Relations Northeastern University Robert Harper -- Type Theory Foundations Carnegie Mellon University Dan Licata -- Dependently-Typed Programming in Agda Carnegie Mellon University and Institute for Advanced Study Greg Morrisett -- Coq as a Programming Language Harvard University Simon Peyton-Jones -- Adventures with Types in Haskell Microsoft Research Frank Pfenning -- Linear Logic and Session-based Concurrency Carnegie Mellon University Andrew Tolmach -- Software Foundations in Coq Portland State University Stephanie Weirich -- Designing Dependently-Typed Programming Languages University of Pennsylvania Steve Zdancewic -- Verifying LLVM Optimizations in Coq University of Pennsylvania We hope you can join us for this excellent program.
