The submission deadline for the IFIP TC2/WG2.1 Working Conference on Generic Programming has been extended until 2nd March 2002. For further details of the conference, please see the web site at http://www.cs.uu.nl/~johanj/wcgp/. A revised call for papers is attached. Jeremy Gibbons and Johan Jeuring (conference chairs) * * * WCGP '02 IFIP WG2.1 Working Conference on GENERIC PROGRAMMING http://www.generic-programming.nl/wcgp/cfp.html Organised in conjunction with MPC'02 July 8 - July 13, 2002 Dagstuhl, Germany CALL FOR PAPERS Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic programs are often quite rich in structure. For example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even programming paradigms. Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to practitioners and to theoreticians, but only recently have generic programming techniques become a specific focus of research in the functional and object-oriented programming language communities. This working conference will bring together leading researchers in generic programming from around the world, and feature papers capturing the state of the art in this important emerging area. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of generic programming, aspect-oriented programming, polytypic programming, adaptive object-oriented programming, generic components, and so on. SUBMISSION Full papers should be submitted in Postscript or pdf format by e-mail to reach Jeremy.Gibbons@comlab.ox.ac.uk by March 2, 2002. The details of the submission procedure can be found at http://www.cs.uu.nl/~johanj/wcgp/submit.html Although there is no page limit, submissions should strive for brevity and clarity.
