                         CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                               WGP 2014

            10th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming
                          Gothenburg, Sweden
                        Sunday, August 31, 2014

                    http://www.wgp-sigplan.org/2014

                          Co-located with the
    International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2014)
======================================================================

Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making
them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds
of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably
instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the
parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for
example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class
hierarchies, or even programming paradigms.

Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to
practitioners and to theoreticians, and, for at least 20 years,
generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research
in the functional and object-oriented programming communities. Generic
programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream
languages, and today is widely used in industry. This workshop brings
together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming
from around the world, and features papers capturing the state of the
art in this important area.
