[Wouter Swierstra]

          CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND CO-LOCATED EVENT PROPOSALS
                             ICFP 2011
 16th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming
                      September 19 - 21, 2011
                           Tokyo, Japan
               http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2011

The 16th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional
Programming will be held in Tokyo, Japan on September 19-21,
2011.  ICFP provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear
about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and
uses of functional programming.

Proposals are invited for workshops (and other co-located events, such
as tutorials) to be affiliated with ICFP 2011 and sponsored by
SIGPLAN.  These events should be more informal and focused than ICFP
itself, include sessions that enable interaction among the attendees,
and be fairly low-cost.  The preference is for one-day events, but
other schedules can also be considered.

NEW THIS YEAR: The workshops are scheduled to occur on September 18
(the day before ICFP) and September 22-24 (the three days after ICFP).

2010.  (For proposals of co-located events other than workshops,
please fill in the workshop proposal form and just leave blank any
sections that do not apply.)  Please note that this is a firm
deadline.

Organizers will be notified if their event proposal is accepted by
