ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop 2019, Berlin, Germany

Eighteenth ACM SIGPLAN
Erlang Workshop

Berlin, Germany, August 18, 2019

Satellite event of
the 24th ACM SIGPLAN
International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2019),
August 18 - 23, 2019

Workshop Objectives

The Erlang Workshop aims to bring together the open source, academic, and industrial communities of Erlang, to discuss technologies and languages related to Erlang. The Erlang model of concurrent programming has been widely emulated, for example by Akka in Scala, and even new programming languages were designed atop of the Erlang VM, such as Elixir. Therefore we would like to broaden the scope of the workshop to include systems like those mentioned above.

The workshop will enable participants to familiarize themselves with recent developments on new techniques and tools, novel applications, draw lessons from users’ experiences and identify research problems and common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang, Erlang-like languages, functional programming, distribution, concurrency etc.

We invite two types of submissions.

Technical papers describing interesting contributions either in theoretical work or real world applications. Submission related to Erlang, Elixir, Akka, CloudHaskell, Lisp Flavored Erlang, OCaml, and functional programming are welcome and encouraged. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- virtual machine extensions and compilation techniques
- implementations and interfaces of Erlang in/with other languages
- new tools (profilers, tracers, debuggers, testing frameworks etc.)
- language extensions
- formal semantics, correctness and verification
- testing Erlang programs
- program analysis and transformation
- Erlang-like languages and technologies
- functional languages and multi-processing
- concurrency in functional languages
- functional languages and distributed computing
- parallel programming
- pattern based programming
- Erlang in education
The maximum length for technical papers is restricted to 12 pages, but short papers (max. 6 pages) are welcomed as well.
Practice and application papers describing uses of Erlang in the "real-world", Erlang libraries for specific tasks, experiences from using Erlang in specific application domains, reusable programming idioms and elegant new ways of using Erlang to approach or solve a particular problem. The maximum length for the practice and application papers is restricted to 12 pages, but short papers (max. 6 pages) are welcomed as well.

Note that the above are maximum lengths; we welcome shorter papers also, and the program committee will evaluate all papers on an equal basis independent of their lengths.

Instructions to authors

Papers must be submitted online via HotCRP (via the "Erlang2019" event). The submission page is https://erlang19.hotcrp.com.

Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format.

Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy. Violation risks summary rejection of the offending submission. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library.

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

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
