I wanted to let the HOL community know about the upcoming workshop for Commercial Users of Functional Programming, a workshop to be held in conjunction with ICFP in Victoria BC this fall. Here's a link to the workshop website: http:// cufp.functionalprogramming.com/ Presentation proposals are due June 2, 2008.
Here's an excerpt from the official call. > Functional languages have been under academic development for over > 25 years, and remain fertile ground for programming language > research. Recently, however, developers in industrial, > governmental, and open source projects have begun to use functional > programming successfully in practical applications. In these > settings, functional programming has often provided dramatic > leverage, including whole new ways of thinking about the original > problem. > > The goal of the CUFP workshop is to act as a voice for these users > of functional programming. The workshop supports the increasing > viability of functional programming in the commercial, > governmental, and open-source space by providing a forum for > professionals to share their experiences and ideas, whether those > ideas are related to business, management, or engineering. The > workshop is also designed to enable the formation and reinforcement > of relationships that further the commercial use of functional > programming. Providing user feedback to language designers and > implementors is not a primary goal of the workshop, though it will > be welcome if it occurs. > > Speaking at CUFP > > If you use functional programming as a means, rather than as an > end, we invite you to offer to give a talk at the workshop. > Alternatively, if you know someone who would give a good talk, > please nominate them! > > Talks are typically 30-45 minutes long, but can be shorter. They > aim to inform participants about how functional programming played > out in real-world applications, focusing especially on the re- > usable lessons learned, or insights gained. Your talk does not need > to be highly technical; for this audience, reflections on the > commercial, management, or software engineering aspects are, if > anything, more important. You do not need to submit a paper! > > If you are interested in offering a talk, or nominating someone to > do so, send an e-mail to jim (dot) d (dot) grundy (at) intel (dot) > com or simonpj (at) microsoft (dot) com by 2 June 2008 with a short > description of what you'd like to talk about or what you think your > nominee should give a talk about. Such descriptions should be about > one page long. > > It's going to be a terrific workshop Cheers, Andy Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
