ICFP in Victoria

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

The ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming is being held in Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) this year (see ICFP 2008). It's only a short drive/ferry trip from Vancouver, so I'm going over for at least 1 day. Here's a brief recap of the schedule:

Saturday, September 20: ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming
Saturday, September 20: ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Mechanizing Metatheory
Saturday, September 20: ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming
 
Sunday, September 21: ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on ML
Sunday, September 21: ACM SIGPLAN Functional and Declarative Programming in Education (FDPE'08)
Sunday, September 21: Poster Session (3pm - 6pm)
 
Monday, September 22: ICFP Conference
 
Tuesday, September 23: ICFP Conference
 
Wednesday, September 24: ICFP Conference
 
Thursday, September 25: ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium (Haskell'08)
Thursday, September 25: Functional Programming Developer Tracks (DEFUN '08)
 
Friday, September 26: Commercial Users of Functional Programming (CUFP'08)
 
Saturday, September 27: ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop
Saturday, September 27: Functional Programming Developer Tracks (DEFUN '08)

I plan to be there on Saturday, September 20 for the Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming; however, there are interesting sessions on most days and I may come over for some of the other sessions as well. Hans Hübner is going to be there (he's flying over from Berlin, which is a bit of a longer commute than the one I'll be doing) and will be speaking at our lispvan meeting next Thursday evening too!
