The Haskell Workshop 2004 is an ACM SIGPLAN sponsored workshop affiliated
with the 2004 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP).
Previous Haskell Workshops have been held in La Jolla (1995), Amsterdam
(1997), Paris (1999), Montreal (2000), Firenze (2001), Pittsburgh (2002),
and Uppsala (2003).
Scope
The purpose of the Haskell Workshop is to discuss experience with Haskell,
and possible future developments for the language. The scope of the
workshop includes all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, application,
implementation, and teaching of Haskell. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to, the following:
- Language Design
- with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of Haskell as
well as critical discussions of the status quo;
- Theory
- in the form of a formal treatment of the semantics of the present language
or future extensions, type systems, and foundations for program analysis
and transformation;
- Implementation Techniques
- including program analysis and transformation, static and dynamic
compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed architectures,
memory management as well as foreign function and component interfaces;
- Tool Support
- in the form of profilers, tracers, debuggers, pre-processors, and so
forth;
- Applications, Practice, and Experience
- with Haskell for scientific and symbolic computing, database, multimedia
and Web applications, and so forth as well as general experience with
Haskell in education and industry;
- Functional Pearls
- being elegant, instructive examples of using Haskell.
Papers in the latter two categories need not necessarily report original
research results; they may instead, for example, report practical experience
that will be useful to others, re-usable programming idioms, or elegant new
ways of approaching a problem. The key criterion for such a paper is that it
makes a contribution from which other practitioners can benefit. It is not
enough simply to describe a program!
The programme committee welcomes short papers and may accept them for brief
presentation at the workshop.

Authors should submit papers in postscript format, formatted for A4 paper,
to Henrik Nilsson (nhn@cs.nott.ac.uk) by 4 June 2004. The
length should be restricted to the equivalent of 5000 words (which is
approximately 12 pages in ACM format). The papers will be published by
the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library.
If you are interested in demonstrating a Haskell-related system or
tool, please send a brief demo proposal to Henrik Nilsson
(nhn@cs.nott.ac.uk).
