CALL FOR PAPERS <br>
=============== <br>
<br>
Fifteenth ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop <br>
------------------------------
<div lang="x-unicode"><wbr>----------------------------- <br>
<br>
Nara, Japan, September 23, 2016 <br>
Satellite event of the 21st ACM SIGPLAN International
Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2016) <br>
September 18-24, 2016 <br>
<br>
The Erlang Workshop aims to bring together the open source,
academic, <br>
and industrial communities of Erlang, to discuss technologies
and <br>
languages related to Erlang. The Erlang model of concurrent
programming <br>
has been widely emulated, for example by Akka in Scala, and
even new <br>
programming languages were designed atop of the Erlang VM,
such as <br>
Elixir. Therefore we would like to broaden the scope of the
workshop to <br>
include systems like those mentioned above. <br>
<br>
The workshop will enable participants to familiarize
themselves with <br>
recent developments on new techniques and tools, novel
applications, <br>
draw lessons from users' experiences and identify research
problems and <br>
common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang, Erlang-like
languages, <br>
functional programming, distribution, concurrency etc. <br>
<br>
We invite three types of submissions. <br>
<br>
1. Technical papers describing interesting contributions
either in <br>
theoretical work or real world applications. Submission
related to <br>
Erlang, Elixir, Akka, CloudHaskell, Occam, and functional
programming <br>
are welcome and encouraged. Topics of interest include (but
are not <br>
limited to): <br>
<br>
- virtual machine extensions and compilation techniques <br>
- implementations and interfaces of Erlang in/with other
languages <br>
- new tools (profilers, tracers, debuggers, testing
frameworks etc.) <br>
- language extensions <br>
- formal semantics, correctness and verification <br>
- testing Erlang programs <br>
- program analysis and transformation <br>
- Erlang-like languages and technologies <br>
- functional languages and multi-processing <br>
- concurrency in functional languages <br>
- functional languages and distributed computing <br>
- parallel programming <br>
- pattern based programming <br>
- Erlang in education <br>
<br>
The maximum length for technical papers is restricted to 12
pages. <br>
<br>
2. Experience reports describing uses of Erlang in the
"real-world", <br>
Erlang libraries for specific tasks, experiences from using
Erlang <br>
in specific application domains, reusable programming idioms
and <br>
elegant new ways of using Erlang to approach or solve a
particular <br>
problem. The maximum length for the experience report is
restricted <br>
to 2 pages. <br>
<br>
3. Poster presentations describing topics related to the
workshop goals. <br>
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>

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>
Paper submissions will be considered for poster submission in
the case <br>
they are not accepted as full papers. <br>
