Aims and Scopes:

The Central-European Functional Programming School (CEFP) is an
intensive summer school series in the field of functional
programming. The main goal is to bring together computer
scientists, researchers, graduate and especially PhD students.
The school would like to promote the research and the education
of the functional programming languages, software technologies
and programming methodologies.

The second CEFP school will be organized by the Babeş-Bolyai
University (Cluj-Napoca / Kolozsvár  / Klausenburg) between 
23-30 June, 2007. The previous  school was held in Budapest,
Hungary, July, 2005.

The invited lecturers are prominent researchers in the field,
and they will present state-of-the-art functional programming
techniques. Beside the lectures practical courses will be held.
The school includes a workshop for PhD students to present
their work and get feed-back from the lecturers.

Invited Lecturers:

Rinus Plasmeijer (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands): 
iTasks: Defining Interactive Workflows for the Web

Werner Kluge (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel,
Germany): Abstract Lambda Calculus Machines

Marko van Eekelen (Radboud University Nijmegen, The
Netherlands): Proving Properties of Lazy Functional Programs

Tim Sheard (Portland State University, USA): The Omega
Programming Language

Ralf Hinze (Universität Bonn, Germany): Generics

Three additional short courses will be given:

Zoltán Horváth (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary):
Refactoring Erlang Programs

Zoltán Csörnyei (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary):
Lambda-Calculus

Horia F. Pop (Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania): 
A Tutorial on Object Orientedness in Functional Programming

Submissions:

PhD students are invited to submit the abstract of their
presentations to be included in the workshop programme. Each
presentation can be of max. 25 minutes. The full paper version
can be submitted after the summer school. It is under
negotiation to publish the revised lectures and the selected
and reviewed papers in LNCS Volume.

Venue:

Cluj-Napoca / Kolozsvár / Klausenburg, formerly the capital of
Transylvania, is one of the most beautiful medieval cities with
a huge multicultural and historical inheritance. Surrounded by
marvelous hills and mountains, the city provides fascinating
environment for experiencing the unique ambience of a
