<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Collocated with the International Conference on Functional Programming<BR> (ICFP 2011)<BR>======================================================================</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Goals of the workshop<BR>---------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making<BR>them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds<BR>of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably<BR>instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the<BR>parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for<BR>example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class<BR>hierarchies, or even programming paradigms.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to<BR>practitioners and to theoreticians, and, for at least 20 years,<BR>generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research<BR>in the functional and object-oriented programming communities. Generic<BR>programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream<BR>languages, and today is widely used in industry. This workshop brings<BR>together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming<BR>from around the world, and features papers capturing the state of the<BR>art in this important area.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as<BR>practical, of</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * generic programming,<BR> * programming with (C++) concepts,<BR> * meta-programming,<BR> * programming with type classes,<BR> * programming with modules,<BR> * programming with dependent types,<BR> * polytypic programming,<BR> * adaptive object-oriented programming,<BR> * component-based programming,<BR> * strategic programming,<BR> * aspect-oriented programming,<BR> * family polymorphism,<BR> * object-oriented generic programming,<BR> * and so on.</DIV>

<DIV>History of the Workshop on Generic Programming<BR>----------------------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This year:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Tokyo, Japan 2011 (affiliated with ICFP11)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Earlier Workshops on Generic Programming have been held in</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Baltimore, Maryland, US 2010 (affiliated with ICFP10)<BR> * Edinburgh, UK 2009 (affiliated with ICFP09)<BR> * Victoria, BC, Canada 2008 (affiliated with ICFP),<BR> * Portland 2006 (affiliated with ICFP),<BR> * Ponte de Lima 2000 (affiliated with MPC),<BR> * Marstrand 1998 (affiliated with MPC).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Furthermore, there were a few informal workshops</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Utrecht 2005 (informal workshop),<BR> * Dagstuhl 2002 (IFIP WG2.1 Working Conference),<BR> * Nottingham 2001 (informal workshop),</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There were also (closely related) DGP workshops in Oxford (June<BR>3-4 2004), and a Spring School on DGP in Nottingham (April 24-27<BR>2006, which had a half-day workshop attached).</DIV>
