HOPE is a *new workshop* that is inte= nded to bring together
researchers interested in the design, semantics, = implementation, and
verification of higher-order effectful programs. It = will be
*informal*, consisting of invited talks, contributed talks on wo= rk in
progress, and open-ended discussion sessions. This 1st edition of = HOPE
is dedicated to John Reynolds, whose work is an inspiration to us a= ll.

---------------------
Goals of the Workshop
----------= -----------

A recurring theme in many papers at ICFP, and in the res= earch of many
ICFP attendees, is the interaction of higher-order program= ming with
various kinds of effects: storage effects, I/O, control effect= s,concurrency, etc. While effects are of critical importance in manyapplications, they also make it hard to build, maintain, and reason=
abo= ut one's code. Higher-order languages (both functional and
object-orient= ed) provide a variety of abstraction mechanisms to help
"tame" or "enc= apsulate" effects (e.g. monads, ADTs, ownership types,
typestate, first-= class events, transactions, Hoare Type Theory,
session types, substructu= ral and region-based type systems), and a
number of different semantic m= odels and verification technologies have
been developed in order to codi= fy and exploit the benefits of this
encapsulation (e.g. bisimulations, s= tep-indexed Kripke logical
relations, higher-order separation logic, gam= e semantics, various
modal logics). But there remain many open problems,= and the field is
highly active.

The goal of the HOPE workshop is= to bring researchers from a variety
of different backgrounds and perspe= ctives together to exchange new and
exciting ideas concerning the design= , semantics, implementation, and
verification of higher-order effectful = programs.

We want HOPE to be as informal and interactive as possible= . The
program will thus involve a combination of invited talks, contribu= tedtalks about work in progress, and open-ended discussion
sessions.= There will be no published proceedings, but participants
will be invite= d to submit working documents, talk slides, etc. to be
posted on this we= bsite.
