Slots will be ==> reserved on a first-come-first-serve basis. Looking forward to seeing you in Victoria, Ralf Hinze ============================================================================ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Workshop on Generic Programming 2008 Victoria, Canada, 20th September 2008 http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/ralf.hinze/wgp2008/cfp.{html,pdf,ps,txt} The Workshop on Generic Programming is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN and forms part of ICFP 2008.
