This is the third and final invitation and call for contributions to the
12th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
on the
IMPLEMENTATION of FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGES
(IFL2000)
to be held at
RWTH Aachen
Aachen, Germany
Monday, Sept 4th - Thursday, Sept 7th 2000

/--------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Deadline for registration: Aug 1st 2000! Six days left to register |
\--------------------------------------------------------------------/
This invitation is being sent out to participants of previous
workshops and to other researchers who we thought might be
interested. The announcement will also be sent to comp.lang.functional
and other appropriate newsgroups. Please forward to anyone who you
think might be interested in attending the workshop.
The IFL workshops are a tradition that has lasted for over a decade. The
aim of these workshops is to bring together researchers actively engaged
in
the implementation and application of functional programming languages
to
discuss new results and new directions of research.
Workshop Topics
---------------
The workshop is intended to provide an open forum for researchers who
wish
to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress,
preliminary results etc. related primarily but not exclusively to the
implementation of functional or function-based languages. A not
necessarily
exhaustive list of topics includes
* language concepts
* type checking
* compilation techniques
* (abstract) interpretation
* automatic program generation
* (abstract) machine architectures
* array processing
* concurrent/parallel programming and program execution
* heap management
* runtime profiling and performance measurements
* debugging and tracing
* tools and programming techniques
Contributions on applications of functional programming, e.g., in
teaching,
or on theoretical work in any of the above areas are also welcome.
Special Erlang Session
----------------------
The purpose of this session is to bring together researchers in the
field
of functional programming with industrial users on the programming
language
Erlang. It will feature talks and demonstrations of product examples
written in Erlang.
This session is sponsored by Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory and
free
of charge for the participants. For contributions and more information

All attendees are encouraged to submit papers to be published in the
draft
proceedings and to give presentations at the workshop. Submitted papers
must be written in English and not exceed 16 pages. Paper should be
submitted by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and conform to
the
LNCS format.
The draft proceedings will be published as a Technical Report of the
Computer Science Department.
We expect to follow the lead of the three last IFL workshops in
publishing
a high-quality subset of contributions in the Springer LNCS series. All
speakers attending the workshop will be invited to submit a paper.
Papers
for the LNCS proceedings will be refereed according to normal conference
standards.

Aachen is located in the western part of Germany, immediately at the
borders to The Netherlands and Belgium. Like many other German cities,
it
was founded by the Romans about 2000 years ago. The Roman name Aquis
Grana
comes from the name of the Celtic god of water and healing Grannus and
hints at the thermal springs found in Aachen. During the reign of
Charlemagne, it was the capital of the German Empire. In 936, Aachen
became
the place of coronation for the Roman Kings of German Nation, a
tradition
which lasted for 600 years. Today, Aachen is a medium sized town with a
beautiful historic town centre.
For information on how to get to Aachen see the Aachen Tourist Service.
RWTH Aachen (aka Aachen University of Technology) was founded as a
Polytechnikum in 1870 with considerable support from local industry. It
became a Technische Hochschule (Institute of Technology) in 1880 and was
established in 1948 as Rheinisch-Westf�lische Technische Hochschule
Aachen
(RWTH), the Institute of Technology of the State of Nordrhein-Westfalen
in
the new Federal Republic of Germany. In the late 1960s, RWTH expanded
into
a full university by the addition of Faculties of Medicine, Humanities
and
Economics.
