<div class="">We would like to give an update regarding COVID-19 to people interested in submitting/attending ACM Erlang Workshop.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Since the venue is in 5 months and situation changes day by day, what we can announce now is that the Erlang Workshop is still scheduled to be held as planned. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our top priority. The Erlang
Workshop organisers are working closely with the ICFP organisers, and Erlang Workshop is going to follow ICFP: having the conference as a virtual or as a physical event. Please note that if it remains a physical event, speakers who are not able to travel will
be allowed to present remotely. This is in line with the ICFP policy that allows remote participation by authors in exceptional circumstances.</div>

Jersey City, New Jersey, United States, Sun 23 August 2020<br class="">
<br class="">
Satellite event of the 25th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on <br class="">
Functional Programming (ICFP 2020)<br class="">
Sun 23 - Fri 28 August 2020<br class="">
<br class="">
The Erlang Workshop aims to bring together the open source, academic,<br class="">
and industrial communities of Erlang, to discuss technologies and<br class="">
languages related to Erlang. The Erlang model of concurrent programming<br class="">
has been widely emulated, for example by Akka in Scala, and even new<br class="">
programming languages were designed atop of the Erlang VM, such as<br class="">
Elixir. Therefore we would like to broaden the scope of the workshop<br class="">
to include systems like those mentioned above.<br class="">
<br class="">
The workshop will enable participants to familiarize themselves with<br class="">
recent developments on new techniques and tools, novel applications,<br class="">
draw lessons from users' experiences and identify research problems<br class="">
and common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang, Erlang-like<br class="">
languages, functional programming, distribution, concurrency etc.<br class="">
<br class="">
We invite two types of submissions.<br class="">
<br class="">
1. Technical papers describing language extensions, critical<br class="">
discussions of the status quo, formal semantics of language<br class="">
constructs, program analysis and transformation, virtual machine<br class="">
extensions and compilation techniques, implementations and interfaces<br class="">
of Erlang in/with other languages, and new tools (profilers, tracers,<br class="">
debuggers, testing frameworks, etc.). Submission related to Erlang,<br class="">
Elixir, Scala/Akka, CloudHaskell, Lisp Flavoured Erlang, OCaml, and<br class="">
functional programming are welcome and encouraged. The maximum length<br class="">
for technical papers is restricted to 12 pages, but short papers <br class="">
(max. 6 pages) are welcomed as well.<br class="">
<br class="">
2. Practice and application papers describing uses of Erlang in the<br class="">
"real-world", Erlang libraries for specific tasks, experiences from<br class="">
using Erlang in specific application domains, reusable programming<br class="">
idioms and elegant new ways of using Erlang to approach or solve a<br class="">
particular problem. The maximum length for the practice and<br class="">
application papers is restricted to 12 pages, but short papers <br class="">
(max. 6 pages) are welcomed as well.<br class="">
