The early registration deadline is **18 July**. That's next week! Accepted papers are at https://icfp19.sigplan.org/home/haskellsymp-2019#event-overview We will have two keynotes: • Mary Sheeran, of Chalmers University, will present Gender Equality in Academia: Meeting the Challenge on Thursday, 22 August. • Lennart Augustsson and Satnam Singh, both of Google Research, will co-present Haskell Use and Abuse at Scale on Friday, 23 August. Come join! Symposium details are below. I hope to see you there! Richard ================================================================================ ACM SIGPLAN CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Haskell Symposium 2019 Berlin, Germany 22--23 August, 2019 https://icfp19.sigplan.org/home/haskellsymp-2019 ================================================================================ The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2019 will be co-located with the 2019 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). The Haskell Symposium presents original research on Haskell, discusses practical experience and future development of the language, and promotes other forms of declarative programming. Topics of interest include: * Language design, with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of Haskell as well as critical discussions of the status quo; * Theory, such as formal semantics of the present language or future extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and foundations for program analysis and transformation; * Implementations, 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; * Libraries, that demonstrate new ideas or techniques for functional programming in Haskell; * Tools, such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors, and testing tools; * Applications, to scientific and symbolic computing, databases, multimedia, telecommunication, the web, and so forth; * Functional Pearls, being elegant and instructive programming examples; * Experience Reports, to document general practice and experience in education, industry, or other contexts; * System Demonstrations, based on running software rather than novel research results.
