Dear Haskell-ers, SoTeSoLa is not a Haskell- or FP-centric event, but Haskell-ers are very much encouraged to represent their technological space at the school. In fact, I know for a reason that some Haskell-ers will be there, but the more the better. I expect that Haskell will play a role in one of the two hackathons and perhaps in some working group. (For instance, we are thinking about a working group on the spreadsheet-centric technological space, where Haskell plays a role as a modeling language and otherwise.) Regards, Ralf ---------------------------------------------------------------- The summer school SoTeSoLa 2012 is a highly discussion- and result-oriented Research 2.0 event on software technologies and software languages. http://planet-sl.org/sotesola2012 SoTeSoLa 2012 takes place in Koblenz 19-23 August 2012. SoTeSoLa brings together senior and junior researchers and technologists interested in software science, specifically the foundations of software technologies and the notion of technological spaces as linking together software languages, technologies, and various resources adding up to a technological and community context. SoTeSoLa also hosts this time the SATToSE 2012 seminar on "Advanced Techniques & Tools for Software Evolution". Key topics at the school are these: - Generic language technology - Co-evolution of software artifacts - Multi-language, multi-technology problems - Research 2.0 applied to software engineering - Technological spaces: past, present, and future - eLearning for language engineers & technologists - Models of knowledge resources for software developers - Model-driven engineering beyond software development - Software re/reverse/engineering in the Semantic Web Era SoTeSoLa aims at exercising a new format for a software language/technology forum, i.e., a more Research 2.0-based approach so that much focus is on understanding each others context, integrating knowledge, automation thereof, and organizing future research and work of the participants. To this end, regular lectures are de-emphasized, but a more discussion- and result-oriented format will be exercised. The event maxes out at 42 participants. SoTeSoLa 2012 is supported by the ADAPT research focus at the University of Koblenz-Landau as part of Rhineland Palatinate's Research Initiative 2008--2013. SoTeSoLa 2012 is also supported by RainCode. SoTeSoLa is hosted by the Software Languages Team in Koblenz.
