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="">

## Instructions to authors<br class="">
<br class="">
Papers must be submitted online via HotCRP (via the "Erlang2020"<br class="">
event). The submission page is<br class="">
<a href="https://erlang20.hotcrp.com" class="">https://erlang20.hotcrp.com</a><br class="">
<br class="">
Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF),<br class="">
formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines.<br class="">
<br class="">
Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy.<br class="">
Violation risks summary rejection of the offending submission.<br class="">
Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the<br class="">
ACM Digital Library.<br class="">
<br class="">
The proceedings will be freely available for download from the ACM Digital<br class="">
Library from one week before the start of the conference until two weeks<br class="">
after the conference.<br class="">
<br class="">
Paper submissions will be considered for poster submission in the case<br class="">
they are not accepted as full papers.<br class="">
<br class="">
## Covid-19 update
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our top priority. </div>
<div class="">The Erlang Workshop organisers are working closely with the ICFP </div>
<div class="">organisers, and Erlang Workshop is going to follow ICFP: having the conference </div>
<div class="">as a virtual or as a physical event. Please note that if it remains a physical event, </div>
<div class="">speakers who are not able to travel will be allowed to present remotely. This is in </div>
<div class="">line with the ICFP policy that allows remote participation by authors in exceptional </div>
<div class="">circumstances.</div>
