Next Month - 2004 Scheme Workshop
Friday, August 27, 2004
I mentioned the 2004 Scheme Workshop in a posting a few months ago. The stated purpose of the workshop is:
"The 2004 Scheme Workshop provides a forum for discussing experience with and future development of the Scheme programming language. The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of the design, implementation, theory, and application of Scheme. "Well, it's less than a month until the workshop (September 22) and the preliminary program is now available. Looks like there will be a whole range of interesting topics from some well-known figures in the Scheme community:

The workshop is being held in conjuction with the 2004 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). The ICFP program will be on September 19-21 while the Scheme Workshop will be on September 22. For those interested in attending both ICFP and the Scheme Workshop, the ICFP Program has been posted as well. In addition to the Scheme Workshop, there are also ICFP-affiliated workshops for:
- Erlang on September 22
- Haskell on September 22
- Commercial Users of Functional Programming on September 18
