[TYPES/announce] New mailing list: Data-Centric Programming

[James Cheney]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the creation of a new mailing list for discussion
and announcements related to "data-centric programming".  Data-centric
programming broadly refers to programming techniques for database,
data-parallel, distributed, or streaming computation models (e.g. LINQ,
MapReduce/Hadoop, multicore or GPGPU programming).

It may be of interest to readers of the TYPES list, since ideas from types
and programming languages have historically influenced research in this
area, and continue to do so today.

It is hosted, for the time being, by Google Groups:

data-centric-programming at googlegroups.com

Its creation was motivated by discussion at a recent Dagstuhl seminar [1]
concerning how to improve communication and build community among
researchers in different areas with common interests, such as databases,
systems, high-performance computation, programming languages, or
security/privacy.

This mailing list is intended as a public forum for researchers and
practitioners  interested in programming languages and data-centric
computation.  It is intended to be a lightweight and low-traffic forum for
discussion of research ideas and community-building activities to help
strengthen ties among those in this area.

--James
