Co-located conferences include ICFP, PPDP (previously known as PLILP/ALP), and HOOTS. WAAAPL (pronounced "wapple") seeks papers on all aspects of the design, analysis, evaluation, or synthesis of algorithms or data structures in the context of advanced programming languages, such as functional or logic languages, where traditional algorithms or data structures may be awkward or impossible to apply. Possible topics include (but are not limited to) - new algorithms or data structures - empirical studies of existing algorithms or data structures - new techniques or frameworks for the design, analysis, evaluation, or synthesis of algorithms or data structures - applications or case studies - pedagogical issues (language aspects of teaching algorithms or algorithmic aspects of teaching languages) Important dates: Submission deadline: June 16, 1999 Notification of acceptance or rejection: July 28, 1999 Final papers due: August 25, 1999 Workshop: the afternoon of September 29 and morning of September 30, 1999 Submission details: Prospective authors should submit papers of up to 12 pages to Chris Okasaki ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on or before June 16, 1999.
