-------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR LIGHTNING TALKS / CHALLENGES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Workshop on Generic Programming 2012 on Sunday, September 9, 2012, we will have a discussion about OPEN PROBLEMS IN GENERIC PROGRAMMING The goal is to present and discuss one or more concrete examples where existing tools, libraries or mechanisms for generic programming in various programming languages fail. If you have the feeling that despite its promises, generic programming has failed to deliver, then this is your chance to step up and explain to the community what you would like to do, but currently cannot. We hope that this discussion will inspire the researchers within the community to work on the problems that will be proposed. If you have a challenge, please contact the workshop organizers by mail. We are offering a number of lightning talk slots to present the challenge to the audience as an introduction to the general discussion. Even if you cannot participate in the workshop, but have a challenge that is easy enough to describe, please contact us and if time permits we might try to present it.
