[Haskell] MPC 2015 - Call For Participation
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 12th International Conference on Mathematics of Program Construction (MPC 2015) Königswinter, Germany, 29 June - 1 July 2015 http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/MPC2015/ Early registration deadline: *** 29 May 2015 *** Hotel rooms reserved until: *** 29 May 2015 *** BACKGROUND The MPC conferences aim to promote the development of mathematical principles and techniques that are demonstrably practical and effective in the process of constructing computer programs, broadly interpreted. VENUE The conference will take place in Königswinter, Maritim Hotel, where accommodation has been reserved. Königswinter is situated on the right bank of the river Rhine, opposite Germany's former capital Bonn, at the foot of the Siebengebirge. REGISTRATION To register for the conference send an email to mpc2...@online.de stating your name and affiliation. We will then provide further details, including hotel booking. You can also use the email address for any queries you might have. The early registration fee for the conference is 375 Euros if you pay via bank transfer and 385 Euros if you pay using PayPal. The early registration deadline is 29 May 2015; after this point, the registration fee rises to 425 Euros (bank transfer) and 435 Euros (PayPal). We have a block booking of rooms at the conference hotel at a special reduced rate, but only until 29th May 2015; after this point, the rooms will be released and the special rate unavailable.

[Haskell] Summer School on Generic and Effectful Programming
Call for Participation SUMMER SCHOOL ON GENERIC AND EFFECTFUL PROGRAMMING St Anne's College, Oxford, 6th to 10th July 2015 http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/projects/utgp/school/ TOPIC Generic programming is a technique that exploits the inherent structure that exists in data, to automatically produce efficient and flexible algorithms that can be adapted to suit different needs. The goal of this school is to explore datatype-generic programming and related topics from a variety of different angles, emphasizing in particular the interplay of generics and effects. This summer school is the closing activity of the EPSRC-funded project Unifying Theories of Generic Programming at Oxford University. LECTURERS Six lecturers from the Programming Languages community, each an acknowledged expert in their specialism, will cover various aspects of generic and effectful programming. Each will give about four hours' lectures, distributed throughout the week. Edwin Brady (University of St Andrews) Embedded Domain-Specific Languages in Idris Fritz Henglein (University of Copenhagen) Worst-case Efficient Generic Functional Programming on Bulk Data Andres Löh (Well-Typed) Applying Type-level and Generic Programming in Haskell Conor McBride (University of Strathclyde) Datatypes of Datatypes Don Syme (Microsoft Research) Compile-time Meta-programming for the Information-rich World Tarmo Uustalu (Tallinn University of Technology) Containers for Effects and Contexts PREREQUISITES The school is aimed at doctoral students in programming languages and related areas; however, researchers and practitioners will be very welcome, as will strong masters students with the support of a supervisor. It will be assumed that participants have a good understanding of typed functional programming, as in Haskell, O'Caml, or F#. DATES Registration deadline: 21st June 2015 School:6th July (9am) to 10th July 2015 (lunchtime) COSTS Costs will be kept low, thanks to support from EPSRC. There will be a nominal registration fee of £135, and BB accommodation in college will be £75 (ensuite) or £48 (shared bathroom) per night. We can accept at most 50 participants; places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
