CALL FOR PAPERS <br>
=============== <br>
<br>
Fourteenth ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop <br>
----------------------------------------------------------- <br>
<br>
Vancouver, Canada, September 4, 2015 <br>
Satellite event of the 20th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on
<br>
Functional Programming (ICFP 2015) <br>
August 30 - September 5, 2015 <br>

<br>
Erlang is a concurrent, distributed functional programming language
<br>
aimed at systems with requirements of massive concurrency, soft real
<br>
time response, fault tolerance, and high availability. It has been <br>
available as open source for 16 years, creating a community that <br>
actively contributes to its already existing rich set of libraries
and <br>
applications. Originally created for telecom applications, its usage
<br>
has spread to other domains including e-commerce, banking,
databases, <br>
and computer telephony and messaging. <br>
<br>
Erlang programs are today among the largest applications written in
<br>
any functional programming language. These applications offer new <br>
opportunities to evaluate functional programming and functional <br>
programming methods on a very large scale and suggest new problems
for <br>
the research community to solve. <br>
<br>
This workshop will bring together the open source, academic, and <br>
industrial programming communities of Erlang. It will enable <br>
participants to familiarize themselves with recent developments on
new <br>
techniques and tools tailored to Erlang, novel applications, draw <br>
lessons from users' experiences and identify research problems and <br>
common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang and functional <br>
programming. <br>
<br>
We invite three types of submissions. <br>
<br>
1. Technical papers describing language extensions, critical <br>
discussions of the status quo, formal semantics of language <br>
constructs, program analysis and transformation, virtual machine <br>
extensions and compilation techniques, implementations and
interfaces <br>
of Erlang in/with other languages, and new tools (profilers,
tracers, <br>
debuggers, testing frameworks, etc.). The maximum length for
technical <br>
papers is restricted to 12 pages. <br>
<br>
2. Practice and application papers describing uses of Erlang in the
<br>
"real-world", Erlang libraries for specific tasks, experiences from
<br>
using Erlang in specific application domains, reusable programming <br>
idioms and elegant new ways of using Erlang to approach or solve a <br>
particular problem. The maximum length for the practice and <br>
application papers is restricted to 12 pages. Note that this is a <br>
maximum length; we welcome shorter papers also, and the program <br>
committee will evaluate all papers on an equal basis independent of
<br>
their lengths. <br>
<br>
3. Poster presentations describing topics related to the workshop <br>
goals. Each includes a maximum of 2 pages of the abstract and
summary. <br>
Presentations in this category will be given an hour of shared <br>
simultaneous demonstration time. <br>

<br>
<br>
Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), <br>
formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. <br>
<br>
Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy. <br>
Violation risks summary rejection of the offending submission. <br>
Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the
<br>
ACM Digital Library. <br>
<br>
The proceedings will be freely available for download from the ACM
Digital <br>
Library from one week before the start of the conference until two
weeks <br>
after the conference. <br>
<br>
Paper submissions will be considered for poster submission in the
case <br>
they are not accepted as full papers. <br>
