-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 24th Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages (IFL 2012) University of Oxford, UK, August 30-September 1, 2012 http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/IFL2012/ This year IFL will be hosted by the University of Oxford, within the idyllic setting of the dreaming spires and picturesque colleges, which have been the home to academic endeavour and research for over nine centuries. The symposium will be held between 30 August and 1 September, 2012. Early registration closes on 10 August. Late registration closes on 23 August, but conference accommodation can only be booked until 13 August. The registration fee includes lunches and refreshments, BBQ on the first evening, an afternoon excursion, and the conference banquet.

He will be talking about "generic sorting and partitioning in linear time and fully abstractly—simultaneously". Schedule -------- There will be 38 talks presented at IFL 2012. The schedule of presentations is now online at: http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/IFL2012/schedule.html Scope ----- The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2012 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming. Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2012 will use a post-symposium review process to produce formal proceedings which will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. All participants in IFL 2012 are invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium.
