============================================================================ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ACM SIGPLAN 2001 Haskell Workshop Firenze, Italy, 2nd September 2001 The Haskell Workshop is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN and forms part of the PLI 2001 colloquium on Principles, Logics, and Implementations of high-level programming languages, which comprises the ICFP/PPDP conferences and associated workshops. Previous Haskell Workshops have been held in La Jolla (1995), Amsterdam (1997), Paris (1999), and Montreal (2000). http://www.cs.uu.nl/~ralf/hw2001.{html,pdf,ps,txt} ============================================================================ Workshop programme ------------------ The workshop received a total of 23 submissions and after careful consideration the programme committee selected the 10 papers below (6 regular, 4 pearls, and no application letters) for acceptance. The selection was competitive: several good papers had to be rejected. Please, note that in addition to longer presentations on accepted papers, a number of slots for participants to make 10-minute informal presentations are available. To request such a slot, contact Ralf Hinze (ralf@cs.uu.nl). 9.00 - 10.30: chaired by Ralf Hinze Functional Pearl: "Derivation of a Carry Lookahead Addition Circuit", John O'Donnell and Gudula R?nger Functional Pearl: "Inverting the Burrows-Wheeler Transform", Richard Bird, Shin-Cheng Mu, and Barney Stratford "Genuinely Functional User Interfaces", Antony Courtney and Conal Elliott 10.30 - 11.00: Coffee break 11.00 - 12.30: chaired by Patrik Jansson "Named Instances for Haskell Type Classes", Wolfram Kahl and Jan Scheffczyk "A Functional Notation for Functional Dependencies", Martin Gasbichler, Matthias Neubauer, Michael Sperber, and Peter Thiemann Report from the program chair and 10-minute talks (to be announced) 12.30 - 14.00: Lunch 14.00 - 15.30: chaired by Ross Paterson "GHood - Graphical Visualisation and Animation of Haskell Object Observations", Claus Reinke "Multiple-View Tracing for Haskell: a New Hat", Malcolm Wallace, Olaf Chitil, Thorsten Brehm, and Colin Runciman 10-minute talks (to be announced) 15.30 - 16.00: Coffee break 16.00 - 17.30: chaired by Jeremy Gibbons Functional Pearl: "Parsing Permutation Phrases", Arthur Baars, Andres L?h, and S. Doaitse Swierstra Functional Pearl: "Pretty Printing with Lazy Dequeues", Olaf Chitil "Playing by the Rules: Rewriting as a practical optimisation technique in GHC", Simon Peyton Jones, Andrew Tolmach, and Tony Hoare 17.30 - 18.00: chaired by Manuel Chakravarty Discussion: the future of Haskell ============================================================================ Programme committee ------------------- Manuel Chakravarty University of New South Wales Jeremy Gibbons University of Oxford Ralf Hinze (chair) University of Utrecht Patrik Jansson Chalmers University Mark Jones Oregon Graduate Institute Ross Paterson City University, London Simon Peyton Jones Microsoft Research Stephanie Weirich Cornell University ============================================================================ Scope ----- The purpose of the Haskell Workshop is to discuss experience with Haskell, and possible future developments for the language. The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, application, implementation, and teaching of Haskell. Submissions that discuss limitations of Haskell at present and/or propose new ideas for future versions of Haskell are particularly encouraged. Adopting an idea from ICFP 2000, the workshop also solicits two special classes of submissions, application letters and functional pearls, described below. Application Letters ------------------- An application letter describes experience using Haskell to solve real-world problems. Such a paper might typically be about six pages, and may be judged by interest of the application and novel use of Haskell. Functional Pearls ----------------- A functional pearl presents - using Haskell as a vehicle - an idea that is small, rounded, and glows with its own light. Such a paper might typically be about six pages, and may be judged by elegance of development and clarity of expression. ============================================================================ Useful links ------------ PLI 2001 http://music.dsi.unifi.it/pli01/ Haskell Workshop 2001 http://www.cs.uu.nl/~ralf/hw2001.html Registration Information http://music.dsi.unifi.it/pli01/registration/ Haskell Home Page http://www.haskell.org
