ACM SIGPLAN Continuation Workshop 2011 http://logic.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp/cw2011/ co-located with ICFP 2011, Tokyo, Japan Saturday, September 24, 2011 Call for Participation Early Registration deadline is August 15! Continuations have been discovered many times, which highlights their many applications in programming language semantics and program analysis, linguistics, logic, parallel processing, compilation and web programming. Recently, there has been a surge of interest specifically in delimited continuations: new implementations (in Scala, Ruby, OCaml, Haskell), new applications (to probabilistic programming, event-driven distributed processing), substructural and constructive logics, natural language semantics. The goal of the Continuation Workshop is to make continuations more accessible and useful -- to practitioners and to researchers in various areas of computer science and outside computer science. We wish to promote communication among the implementors and users in many fields. We would like to publicize the applications of continuations in academic (logic, linguistics) and practical fields and various programming languages (OCaml, Haskell, Scala, Ruby, Scheme, etc.).
