                      PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

                   Scheme and Functional Programming

                   Montreal, Canada, September 2000

         The workshop forms part of PLI 2000, which consists 
         of the ICFP and PPDP conferences and other workshops.

Background and Theme:
---------------------

   Over the past few years, Scheme and its implementations have made
   tremendous progress in support of generative programming, shell
   scripting, COMponent support and distributed programming, graphics
   and GUI support, OO programming, and various other aspects of
   engineering real-world software. We are calling on implementors and
   users of Scheme systems to share their ideas at a workshop during
   PLI 2000 in Montreal.

   The organizers goal is to attract presentations on a broad spectrum
   of topics:

    * applications 
    * environments 
    * extensions 
    * implementations 
    * logics (predicate types)
    * programs

   The committee will consider submissions concerning Scheme and other
   functional languages  (Erlang, Haskell, LISP, ML, XML, etc.).

Submission details
------------------

   Deadline for submission:      15 June 2000  
 
   The organizers seek two kinds of presentations:
   
    * regular: These presentations are like conventional workshop and
        conference presentation.

    * short: These presentations last up to 15 mins and are on
	unconventional topics. Examples include unusual applications,
	nifty Scheme programming tricks, ideas on implementations,
	designs and requests for implementations, etc.
