Final call for Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming

Final call! Still room left for a few more participants, and a
little scholarship money for students is still available. See end
of this post for scholarship info. Last day to register is July 30th.


          The 1996 Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming
                                              Aug 25th-30th, 1996
                                        Olympia, Washington, USA


The 1996 Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming will be
hosted by the Oregon Graduate Institute located in Portland,
Oregon. Following on the success of a similar school held in
Baastad, Sweden in 1995, this year's school will be held 100+
miles to the north of Portland at The Evergreen State College in
Olympia, Washington, on the southern shore of the Puget
Sound. Evergreen is five miles outside of Olympia, Washington,
and lies in the heart of a 1,000-acre forest. The Summer School
will begin on the evening of Sunday, Aug 25th, and end Friday,
Aug 30th.


Here are the topics being covered in the summer school:


      * "Haskore, specifying electronic music", Paul Hudak
      * "Composing the user interface with Haggis", Simon Peyton Jones
      * "Essentials of Standard ML Modules", Mads Tofte
      * "Polytypic typing", Johan Jeuring
      * "Functional data structures", Chris Okasaki
      * "Heap profiling for space efficiency", Colin Runciman
      * "Deterministic, Error-Correcting Combinator Parsers", Doaitse Swierstra
      * "Implementing Threads in Standard ML", Peter Lee


Each lecturer will have a three hour slot, some of which may be
taken up by practical exercises. The pattern of 1 hour lecture,
1 hour exercise and break, and 1 hour lecture worked well in the
past, and we plan to repeat it. Lecture notes will be published
in Springer-Verlag's LNCS series.
