The Haskell Workshop

Since 2008, the Haskell Workshop has become the Haskell Symposium. The workshop links below are also now available from the Symposium page.

The Haskell Workshop is an annual workshop organized in affiliation with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). The workshop is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) under the aegis of the ACM Special Interest Group on Programming Languages (SIGPLAN).

Scope

The purpose of the Haskell Workshop is to discuss experience with Haskell, and future developments for the language. The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, application, implementation, and teaching of Haskell.

Upcoming Haskell Workshop

The Haskell Workshop 2008 will take place in September, and is co-located with ICFP 2008 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Steering Committee

Responsibilities

The main purpose of the Haskell Workshop Steering Committee is to provide continuity of the workshop and to offer help and advice to the current organizer(s) of the workshop.

• To provide continuity of the Haskell Workshop, serve the Haskell community, and maintain the functional vision and vigour of the workshop.
• To officially represent the Haskell Workshop with the sponsoring organization, ACM SIGPLAN, and consult with the SIGPLAN chair on matters of policy and planning.
• To appoint the Haskell Workshop Program Chair each year in consultation with the SIGPLAN Chair, and approve the Program Chair's choice of Program Committee.
• To provide help and guidance to the Haskell Workshop Program Chair in the overall technical organization of the workshop, as well with budget preparation and the cooperation with affiliated conferences and workshops.

Membership

1. The Haskell Workshop Steering Committee comprises the three previous Haskell Workshop Program Chairs, the current Haskell Workshop Chair, and three appointed Members-At-Large.
2. Each year, around the date of the Haskell Workshop, the Steering Committee, in consultation with the SIGPLAN Chair, appoints the Program Chair for the next Haskell Workshop. The steering committee additionally appoints a new Member-At-Large to succeed the currently longest serving Member-At-Large. The new Haskell Workshop Program Chair and the newly appointed Member-At-Large then join the Steering Committee, while the longest serving former Program Chair and Member-At-Large step down.
3. The chair of the Steering Committee is the longest serving former Program Chair.
4. Should there be vacancies within the Steering Committee, e.g. due to a member stepping down early, the Steering Committee appoints members to fill the vacancies and, if necessary, decides on the succession ordering.
