IFL 2000
Implementation of Functional Languages
12th International Workshop

Aachen, Germany
Monday, September 4th - Thursday, September 7th 2000

The IFL workshops are a tradition that has lasted for over a decade. The aim of these workshops is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional programming languages to discuss new results and new directions of research.

 Workshop Topics

The workshop is intended to provide an open forum for researchers who wish to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, preliminary results etc. related primarily but not exclusively to the implementation of functional or function-based languages. A not necessarily exhaustive list of topics includes

Contributions on applications of functional programming, e.g., in teaching, or on theoretical work in any of the above areas are also welcome.

 Special Erlang Session

The purpose of this session is to bring together researchers in the field of functional programming with industrial users on the programming language Erlang. It will feature talks and demonstrations of product examples written in Erlang.

This session is sponsored by Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory and free of charge for the participants. For contributions and more information contact:

All attendees are encouraged to submit papers to be published in the draft proceedings and to give presentations at the workshop. Submitted papers must be written in English and not exceed 16 pages. Papers should be submitted as PostScript by email to ifl2000@informatik.rwth-aachen.de and conform to the LNCS format.

The draft proceedings are published as a Technical Report of the Computer Science Department. Click here to get an BibTeX Entry for the draft proceedings.

 LNCS Proceedings

We managed to follow the lead of the four last IFL workshops in publishing a high-quality subset of contributions in the Springer LNCS series. All speakers attending the workshop are invited to submit a paper. Papers for the LNCS proceedings will be refereed according to normal conference standards. This implies (among other things) that:

Papers must be submitted as PostScript by email to ifl2000@informatik.rwth-aachen.de and must obey the Springer guidelines for LNCS.

Aachen is located in the western part of Germany, immediately at the borders to The Netherlands and Belgium. Like many other German cities, it was founded by the Romans about 2000 years ago. The Roman name Aquis Grana comes from the name of the Celtic god of water and healing Grannus and hints at the thermal springs found in Aachen. During the reign of Charlemagne, it was the capital of the German Empire. In 936, Aachen became the place of coronation for the Roman Kings of German Nation, a tradition which lasted for 600 years. Today, Aachen is a medium sized town with a beautiful historic town centre.
For information on how to get to Aachen see the Aachen Tourist Service.

RWTH Aachen (aka Aachen University of Technology) was founded as a Polytechnikum in 1870 with considerable support from local industry. It became a Technische Hochschule (Institute of Technology) in 1880 and was established in 1948 as Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH), the Institute of Technology of the State of Nordrhein-Westfalen in the new Federal Republic of Germany. In the late 1960s, RWTH expanded into a full university by the addition of Faculties of Medicine, Humanities and Economics.
