<div><br></div><div>The Haskell Implementors' Workshop is to be held alongside ICFP 2013</div><div>this year in Boston. There will be no proceedings; it is an informal</div><div>gathering of people involved in the design and development of Haskell</div>
<div>implementations, tools, libraries, and supporting infrastructure.</div><div><br></div><div>This relatively new workshop reflects the growth of the user community:</div><div>there is a clear need for a well-supported tool chain for the</div>
<div>development, distribution, deployment, and configuration of Haskell</div><div>software. The aim is for this workshop to give the people involved with</div><div>building the infrastructure behind this ecosystem an opportunity to bat</div>
<div>around ideas, share experiences, and ask for feedback from fellow</div><div>experts.</div><div><br></div><div>We intend the workshop to have an informal and interactive feel, with a</div><div>flexible timetable and plenty of room for ad-hoc discussion, demos, and</div>
<div>impromptu short talks.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Scope and target audience</div><div>-------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>It is important to distinguish the Haskell Implementors' Workshop from</div>
<div>the Haskell Symposium which is also co-located with ICFP 2013. The</div><div>Haskell Symposium is for the publication of Haskell-related research. In</div><div>contrast, the Haskell Implementors' Workshop will have no proceedings --</div>
<div>although we will aim to make talk videos, slides and presented data</div><div>available with the consent of the speakers.</div><div><br></div><div>In the Haskell Implementors' Workshop, we hope to study the underlying</div>
<div>technology. We want to bring together anyone interested in the</div><div>nitty-gritty details behind turning plain-text source code into a</div><div>deployed product. Having said that, members of the wider Haskell</div>
<div>community are more than welcome to attend the workshop -- we need your</div><div>feedback to keep the Haskell ecosystem thriving.</div><div><br></div><div>The scope covers any of the following topics. There may be some topics</div>
<div>that people feel we've missed, so by all means submit a proposal even if</div><div>it doesn't fit exactly into one of these buckets:</div><div><br></div><div> * Compilation techniques</div><div> * Language features and extensions</div>
<div> * Type system implementation</div><div> * Concurrency and parallelism: language design and implementation</div><div> * Performance, optimisation and benchmarking</div><div> * Virtual machines and run-time systems</div>
<div> * Libraries and tools for development or deployment</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Talks</div><div>-----</div><div><br></div><div>At this stage we would like to invite proposals from potential speakers</div>
<div>for a relatively short talk. We are aiming for 20 minute talks with 10</div><div>minutes for questions and changeovers. We want to hear from people</div><div>writing compilers, tools, or libraries, people with cool ideas for</div>
<div>directions in which we should take the platform, proposals for new</div><div>features to be implemented, and half-baked crazy ideas. Please submit a</div><div>talk title and abstract of no more than 200 words.</div>
<div>
<br></div><div>Submissions should be made via EasyChair. The website is:</div><div> <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hiw2013">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hiw2013</a></div><div><br></div>
<div>If you don't have an account you can create one here:</div><div> <a href="https://www.easychair.org/account/signup.cgi">https://www.easychair.org/account/signup.cgi</a> </div><div><br></div><div>Because the submission is an abstract only, please click the "abstract</div>
<div>only" button when you make your submission. There is no need to</div><div>attach a separate file.</div><div><br></div><div>We will also have a lightning talks session which will be organised on</div><div>the day. These talks will be 2-10 minutes, depending on available time.</div>
<div>Suggested topics for lightning talks are to present a single idea, a</div><div>work-in-progress project, a problem to intrigue and perplex Haskell</div><div>implementors, or simply to ask for feedback and collaborators.</div>
