-- The Haskell Workshop ----------------------------------------------

The Haskell Workshop 2005 is an ACM SIGPLAN sponsored workshop affiliated with
the 2005 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). Previous
Haskell Workshops have been held in La Jolla (1995), Amsterdam (1997), Paris
(1999), Montreal (2000), Firenze (2001), Pittsburgh (2002), Uppsala (2003), and
Snowbird (2004).


-- Scope -------------------------------------------------------------

The purpose of the Haskell Workshop is to discuss experience with Haskell, and
future developments for the language.  The scope of the workshop includes all
aspects of the design, semantics, theory, application, implementation, and
teaching of Haskell. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:

* Language Design,
     with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of Haskell as well as
     critical discussions of the status quo;
* Theory,
     in the form of a formal treatment of the semantics of the present language
     or future extensions, type systems, and foundations for program analysis and
     transformation;
* Implementations,
     including program analysis and transformation, static and dynamic
     compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed architectures, memory
     management as well as foreign function and component interfaces;
* Tools,
     in the form of profilers, tracers, debuggers, pre-processors, and so forth;
* Applications, Practice, and Experience,
     with Haskell for scientific and symbolic computing, database, multimedia and
     Web applications, and so forth as well as general experience with Haskell in
     education and industry;
* Functional Pearls,
     being elegant, instructive examples of using Haskell.

Papers in the latter two categories need not necessarily report original
research results; they may instead, for example, report practical experience
that will be useful to others, re-usable programming idioms, or elegant new ways
of approaching a problem. The key criterion for such a paper is that it makes a
contribution from which other practitioners can benefit. It is not enough simply
to describe a program!
