Call for Participation
ICFP 2003: ACM International Conference on Functional Programming
August 25-29, 2003
Uppsala, Sweden

* About ICFP
------------
The goal of ICFP is to
  - stimulate and promote international research on functional =
programming, and
  - act as focal point to bring together the functional-programming
    community for intellectual cross-pollination and collaboration.

The scope of the conference includes all languages that encourage =
programming
with functions, including both purely applicative and imperative =
languages, as
well as languages that support objects and concurrency. The topics =
covered
range from principles to practice, from foundations to features, and =
from
abstractions to applications.

The conference is affiliated with PLI, a confederation of international
meetings sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, which this year will also include
  - PPDP (International Conference on Principles and Practice of=20
    Declarative Programming)
  - LOPSTR (International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis=20
    and Transformation)
  - Haskell Workshop
  - Erlang Workshop
  - MERLIN (Mechanised Reasoning About Languages with Variable Binding)
  - DPCOOL (Declarative Programming in the Context of Object-oriented=20
    Languages)=20
