Most importantly, the proposal deadline has been updated. Commerical Users of Functional Programming (CUFP) is a workshop that is co-located with ICFP.=A0 If you have experience using OCaml (or another functional language) in a pragmatic setting, consider submitting a proposal to give a talk about it at CUFP! ------------------------------------------ Commercial Users of Functional Programming Workshop (CUFP) 2010 Call for Participation Sponsored by SIGPLAN Co-located with ICFP 2010 Baltimore, Maryland Sep 27-29, 2010 Submission Deadline: 15 June 2010 Functional programming languages have been a hot topic of academic research for over 35 years, and have seen an ever larger practical impact in settings ranging from tech startups to financial firms to biomedical research labs. =A0At the same time, a vigorous community of practically-minding functional programmers has come into existence. CUFP is designed to serve this community. =A0The annual CUFP workshop is a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favorite language; and where one can learn practical techniques and approaches for putting functional programming to work. # Giving a CUFP Talk # If you have experience using functional languages in a practical setting, we invite you to submit a proposal to give a talk at the workshop. =A0We're looking for two kinds of talks: *Experience reports* are typically 25 minutes long, and aim to inform participants about how functional programming plays out in real-world applications, focusing especially on lessons learned and insights gained. Experience reports don't need to be highly technical; reflections on the commercial, management, or software engineering aspects are, if anything, more important. You do not need to submit a paper! *Technical talks* are expected to be 30-45 minutes long, and should focus on teaching the audience something about a technical technique or methodology, from the point of view of someone who has seen it play out in practice. =A0These talks could cover anything from techniques for building functional concurrent applications, to managing dynamic reconfigurations, to design recipes for using types effectively in large-scale applications. =A0While these talks will often be based on a particular language, they should be accessible to a broad range of functional programmers. If you are interested in offering a talk, or nominating someone to do so, send an e-mail to francesco(at)erlang-consulting(dot)com or yminsky(at)janestreet(dot)com by **15 June 2010** with a short description of what you'd like to talk about or what you think your nominee should give a talk about. Such descriptions should be about one page long. There will be no published proceedings, as the meeting is intended to be more a discussion forum than a technical interchange. # Program Committee # * Francesco Cesarini, Erlang Training and Consulting (Co-Chair) * Tim Dysinger, Sonian Networks * Alain Frisch, LexiFi * Nick Gerakines, Chegg * Adam Granicz, IntelliFactory * Amanda Laucher * Romain Lenglet, Google Japan * Yaron Misky, Jane Street (Co-Chair) * Mary Sheeran, Chalmers * Don Stewart, Galois * Dean Wampler, DRW Trading # More information # For more information on CUFP, including videos of presentations from previous years, take a look at the CUFP website at . Note that presenters, like other attendees, will need to register for the event. =A0Presentations will be video taped and presenters will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release form. =A0Acceptance and rejection letters will be sent out by July 15th.
