Call for Participation

Haskell99 Workshop

http://www.haskell.org/HaskellWorkshop.html
Friday October 1st, 1999, Paris, France

The Third Haskell Workshop will take place in Paris, France as part of PLI'99.

Scope

The purpose of the workshop is to discuss experience with Haskell, and possible future developments of the language.

The lively discussions at the 1997 Haskell Workshop in Amsterdam about the future of Haskell led to the definition of Haskell'98, giving Haskell the stability that has so far been lacking. The road ahead to Haskell-2 has many opportunities for developing and enhancing Haskell in new and exciting ways. The third Haskell workshop presents six papers on the design, implementation, and use of Haskell.

In addition to longer presentations of pre-submitted papers, there will be the opportunity for participants to make 10-minute informal presentations, the wackier the better.

Registration

See the main PLI page for information on how to register for HASKELL99 and the other events making up PLI99.  The deadline for early registration is August 20 . 

Program Friday October 1

Each contributed presentation will last 45 minutes, including questions. The proceedings will be published as an Utrecht University technical report and will be available at the time of the workshop.

We still accept slot bookings for the 10-minute talks on a first come first served basis.
