ICFP 2002 International Conference on Functional Programming Pittsburgh, PA, USA October 4-6, 2002 http://icfp2002.cs.brown.edu Early Registration Deadline: SEPTEMBER 12, 2002 (** Next Thursday!! **) The ICFP conference provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. The conference covers the entire spectrum of functional programming, from practice to theory, and from established functional programming languages (Scheme, ML, Haskell) to novel language designs and to the functional aspects of object-oriented or concurrent languages. ICFP 2002 features invited talks by Brad Myers, J Strother Moore, and Neil Jones. The results of the ICFP Programming Contest will also be announced. ICFP is part of PLI, a confederation of conferences and workshops aimed at the advancement of high-level programming languages. This year, PLI consists of three conferences: ICFP (International Conference on Functional Programming) PPDP (International Conference on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming) GPCE (Generative Programming and Component Engineering) and seven workshops: Haskell PLAN-X (Programming Languages for XML) Scheme Rule (Rule-Based Programming) VCL (Verification and Computational Logic) Erlang FDPE (Functional and Declarative Programming in Education) The hotel's cut-off date for guaranteed reservations at the group rate is also September 12, 2002, so do register and reserve soon. We look forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh! Mitchell Wand General Chair ICFP 2002
