Dear Colleague, The deadline for submitting to the 2004 Haskell Workshop is getting close. Please find the Call For Papers enclosed. The workshop is to be held on 22 September in Snowbird, Utah, USA in association with ICFP'04. The submission deadline is 4 June. See http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~nhn/HW2004/ for further details, including Call For Papers in PDF/HTML format. My apologies for multiple copies.

Previous Haskell Workshops have been held in La Jolla (1995), Amsterdam (1997), Paris (1999), Montreal (2000), Firenze (2001), Pittsburgh (2002), and Uppsala (2003). ******************** 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, imple- mentation, and teaching of Haskell. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Language Design with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of Haskell as well as critical discussions of the status quo; Theory in the form of a formal treatment of the semantics of the present language or future extensions, type systems, and foundations for program analysis and transformation; Implementation Techniques including program analysis and transformation, static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed architectures, memory management as well as foreign function and component interfaces; Tool Support in the form of profilers, tracers, debuggers, pre-processors, and so forth; Applications, Practice, and Experience with Haskell for scientific and symbolic computing, database, multimedia and Web applications, and so forth as well as general experience with Haskell in education and industry; Functional Pearls being elegant, instructive examples of using Haskell. Papers in the latter two categories need not necessarily report original research results; they may instead, for example, report practical experience that will be useful to others, re-usable programming idioms, or elegant new ways of approaching a problem. The key criterion for such a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other practitioners can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a program! The programme committee welcomes short papers and may accept them for brief presentation at the workshop. ******************** Submission Details ******************** Deadline for submission: 4 June, 2004 Notification of acceptance: 5 July, 2004 Final submission due: 30 July, 2004 (tentative) Haskell Workshop: 22 September, 2004 Authors should submit papers in postscript format, formatted for A4 paper, to Henrik Nilsson (nhn@cs.nott.ac.uk) by 4 June 2004. The length should be restricted to the equivalent of 5000 words (which is approximately 12 pages in ACM format). The papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. If you are interested in demonstrating a Haskell-related system or tool, please send a brief demo proposal to Henrik Nilsson (nhn@cs.nott.ac.uk). ******************** Programme Committee ******************** Jrgen Gustavsson Chalmers Thomas Hallgren OGI Jerzy Karczmarczuk Universit de Caen Daan Leijen Universiteit Utrecht Henrik Nilsson (chair) University of Nottingham Colin Runciman University of York Martin Sulzmann National University of Singapore Valery Trifonov Yale University
