Eighth Workshop on MATHEMATICALLY STRUCTURED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING Monday 31st August and Tuesday 1st September 2020, online https://msfp-workshop.github.io/msfp2020/ ** Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, MSFP 2020 will now be held as a virtual meeting ** ** Registration deadline: Tuesday 25th August ** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Registration ============ Register for participation here by Tuesday 25th August: https://forms.gle/HNvFsxDKbGAvnv9x9 There is no registration fee. Invited Speakers ================ Pierre-Marie Pédrot - Inria Rennes-Bretagne-Atlantique, France Satnam Singh - Google Research, USA The eighth workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming is devoted to the derivation of functionality from structure. It is a celebration of the direct impact of Theoretical Computer Science on programs as we write them today. Modern programming languages, and in particular functional languages, support the direct expression of mathematical structures, equipping programmers with tools of remarkable power and abstraction. Where would Haskell be without monads? Functional reactive programming without temporal logic? Call-by-push-value without adjunctions? The list goes on. This workshop is a forum for researchers who seek to reflect mathematical phenomena in data and control. The first MSFP workshop was held in Kuressaare, Estonia, in July 2006, affiliated with MPC 2006 and AMAST 2006. The second MSFP workshop was held in Reykjavik, Iceland as part of ICALP 2008. The third MSFP workshop was held in Baltimore, USA, as part of ICFP 2010. The fourth workshop was held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012. The fifth workshop was held in Grenoble, France, as part of ETAPS 2014. The sixth MSFP Workshop was held in April 2016, in Eindhoven, Netherlands, as part of ETAPS 2016. The seventh MSFP Workshop was held in July 2018, in Oxford, UK, as part of FLoC 2018.
