The Haskell Symposium

The Haskell Symposium is an annual symposium organized in affiliation with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). The symposium is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) under the aegis of the ACM Special Interest Group on Programming Languages (SIGPLAN).

Scope

The purpose of the Haskell Symposium is to discuss experience with Haskell, and future developments for the language. The scope of the symposium includes all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, application, implementation, and teaching of Haskell.

Upcoming Haskell Symposium

The Haskell Symposium 2013 will take place in September 2013, and is co-located with ICFP 2013 in Boston, MA, USA.

Past Haskell Workshops and Symposia

Before 2008, the Haskell Symposium was known as the Haskell Workshop. The name change reflects the steady increase of influence of the Haskell Workshop on the wider community, as well as an increasing numbers of high quality submissions making the acceptance process highly competitive.

Steering Committee

Responsibilities

The main purpose of the Haskell Symposium Steering Committee is to provide continuity of the symposium and to offer help and advice to the current organizer(s) of the symposium.

The responsibilities of the steering committee are:

To provide continuity of the Haskell Symposium, serve the Haskell community, and maintain the functional vision and vigour of the symposium.
To officially represent the Haskell Symposium with the sponsoring organization, ACM SIGPLAN, and consult with the SIGPLAN chair on matters of policy and planning.
To appoint the Haskell Symposium Program Chair each year in consultation with the SIGPLAN Chair, and approve the Program Chair's choice of Program Committee.
To provide help and guidance to the Haskell Symposium Program Chair in the overall technical organization of the symposium, as well with budget preparation and the cooperation with affiliated conferences and workshops.

Membership

The Haskell Symposium Steering Committee comprises the three previous Program Chairs, the current Haskell Symposium Chair, and three appointed Members-At-Large.
Each year, around the date of the Haskell Symposium, the Steering Committee, in consultation with the SIGPLAN Chair, appoints the Program Chair for the next Haskell Symposium. The steering committee additionally appoints a new Member-At-Large to succeed the currently longest serving Member-At-Large. The new Haskell Symposium Program Chair and the newly appointed Member-At-Large then join the Steering Committee, while the longest serving former Program Chair and Member-At-Large step down.
The chair of the Steering Committee is the longest serving former Program Chair.
Should there be vacancies within the Steering Committee, e.g. due to a member stepping down early, the Steering Committee appoints members to fill the vacancies and, if necessary, decides on the succession ordering.

Members

The members of the Steering Committee are:

Jeremy Gibbons, University of Oxford (Chair, HS Chair 2010, end of term 2013)
Koen Claessen, Chalmers University of Technology (HS Chair 2011, end of term 2014)
Janis Voigtländer, University of Bonn (HS Chair 2012, end of term 2015)
Chung-chieh Shan, Indiana University (HS Chair 2013, end of term 2016)
Mark Jones, Portland State University (Member-At-Large, end of term 2013)
Lennart Augustsson, Standard Chartered Bank (Member-At-Large, end of term 2014)
Bruno Oliveira, National University of Singapore (Member-At-Large, end of term 2015)

Program Committee

The Program Committee is responsible for the technical content of the Haskell Symposium. The Haskell Symposium Program Chair, with the approval of the Steering Committee, appoints the Program Committee and leads its work.
