Synopsis:

The ML family of programming languages, whose dialects include
Standard ML, Objective Caml, Alice ML and nML, has inspired a
tremendous amount of language research, ranging from type inference to
module systems to operational semantics and implementation. Languages
from the ML family have alse been successfully applied in areas
ranging from compilers and theorem provers to low-level system
software, web applications and video games.  The goal of the Workshop
is to provide a forum for researchers, developers, and users to hear
about and discuss the latest work on the use, design, and
implementation of ML-like languages.  Previous ML Workshops have been
held in Edinburgh, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Orlando and Baltimore.

The 2005 Workshop will be held in conjunction with the ACM SIGPLAN
International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP) in Tallinn,
Estonia.
