[One-liner version: please submit workshop/tutorial proposals for GPCE 2008.] The conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE) had some functional programming input over the last few years. It is a good idea to continue this trend. For instance, Haskell-hosted ideas of meta programming and more general (FP-based) ideas of staged programming are at the heart of GPCE. Likewise, aggressive optimization and advanced modularization concepts are in the intersection of the Haskell crowd and the GPCE scope. This year's GPCE conference again co-locates with OOPSLA. We are looking for strong proposals for workshops and tutorials that complement the GPCE technical programme, and thereby also contribute to the combined GPCE/OOPSLA programme. It will be great to get a submission or two from the Haskell community. Please have a look at the call for proposals, at the list of topics, and at the history of the GPCE conference series. For instance, it would be appropriate to see a workshop or a tutorial on type functions, general type-level programming, hygienic templates or macros, advanced partial evaluation, FP refactorings, component programming in FP, ..., something like that. I specifically encourage you to reach out for the crowd at GPCE/OOPSLA so that we extend our impact. http://www.hope.cs.rice.edu/twiki/bin/view/GPCE08/ http://www.hope.cs.rice.edu/twiki/bin/view/GPCE08/CallForWorkshops http://www.hope.cs.rice.edu/twiki/bin/view/GPCE08/CallForTutorials [Deadline: 20th March] Regards, Ralf Laemmel Satellite Chair GPCE 2008 PS: The paper deadline for GPCE is in May.
