[David Van Horn]

         CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND CO-LOCATED EVENT PROPOSALS
                            ICFP 2015
 20th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming
                   August 30 - September 5, 2015
                        Vancouver, Canada
               http://icfpconference.org/icfp2015/

The 120th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional
Programming will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on
August 30-September 5, 2015.  ICFP provides a forum for researchers
and developers to hear about the latest work on the design,
implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming.

Proposals are invited for workshops (and other co-located events, such
as tutorials) to be affiliated with ICFP 2015 and sponsored by
SIGPLAN. These events should be less formal and more focused than ICFP
itself, include sessions that enable interaction among the attendees,
and foster the exchange of new ideas. The preference is for one-day
events, but other schedules can also be considered.

The workshops are scheduled to occur on August 30 (the day
before ICFP) and September 3-5 (the three days after ICFP).
