                            Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

                                January 13, 2008
                         San Francisco, California, USA
                               Following POPL '08

The search for sound principles for object-oriented languages has  
given rise
to much work during the past two decades, leading to a better  
understanding of
the key concepts of object-oriented languages and to important  
developments in
type theory, semantics, program verification, and program  
development. The
FOOL workshops bring together researchers to share new ideas and  
results in
these areas.

The next workshop, FOOL '08, will be held in San Francisco,  
California, on
Saturday January 13, 2008, the day after POPL '08. Eight contributed  
papers
will be presented, along with invited talks.

To register for the workshop, use the standard POPL registration form,
available through:

                  http://www.regmaster.com/conf/popl2008.html

The POPL early registration deadline ends ****December 13th****.  
Please make
your hotel arrangements as soon as possible.

To keep down the cost of registration, we will not be providing printed
proceedings. All papers will be available online before the workshop,  
so you
may print the papers you wish to have on hand.
