Meeting Description:

ACM SIGPLAN Continuation Workshop 2011
http://logic.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp/cw2011/
Co-located with ICFP 2011, Tokyo, Japan
Saturday, September 24, 2011

Continuations have been discovered many times, which highlights their many applications in programming language semantics and program analysis, linguistics, logic, parallel processing, compilation and web programming.  Recently, there has been a surge of interest specifically in delimited continuations: new implementations (in Scala, Ruby, OCaml, Haskell), new applications (to probabilistic programming, event-driven distributed processing), sub-structural and constructive logics, natural language semantics.

The goal of the Continuation Workshop is to make continuations more accessible and useful -- to practitioners and to researchers in various areas of computer science and outside computer science. We wish to promote communication among the implementers and users in many fields. We would like to publicize the applications of continuations in academic (logic, linguistics) and practical fields and various programming languages (OCaml, Haskell, Scala, Ruby, Scheme, etc.).

Continuation Workshop 2011 will be informal. We aim at accessible presentations of exciting if not fully polished research, and of interesting academic, industrial and open-source applications that are new or unfamiliar. The workshop will have no published proceedings; submissions of short abstracts are preferred.

We intend to organize a tutorial session on delimited continuations and their main applications, in the evening before the workshop, on Friday, September 23, 2011.

Call for Papers:

Format:

The workshop will consist of presentations by the participants, selected from submitted abstracts.  Participants are invited to submit working drafts, source code, and/or extended abstracts for distribution on the workshop homepage and to the attendees, but as the workshop will have no formal proceedings, any contributions may be submitted for publication to other venues. (See the SIGPLAN republication policy for more details.)

Scope:

We seek several types of presentations on topics related to continuations. We especially encourage presentations that describe work in progress, outline a future research agenda, or encourage lively discussion.

Research presentations on:

 - Implementations of continuations
 - Semantics
 - Type systems and logics
 - Meta-theory and its mechanization
 - Code generation with continuations or effects
 - Distributed programming
 - Systems programming and security
 - Pearls

Research presentations must be broadly accessible and should describe new ideas, experimental results, significant advances in the theory or application of continuations, or informed positions regarding new control operators. 

Application Presentations, or Status Reports:

These broadly accessible presentations should describe interesting applications of continuations in research, industry or open source. We encourage presentations of applications from areas outside of programming language research -- such as linguistics, logics, AI, computer graphics, operating systems, etc. These presentations need not present original research, but should deliver information that is new or that is unfamiliar to the general ICFP audience. (A broadly accessible version of research presented elsewhere, with the most recent results and more discussion of future work may be acceptable as a CW 2011 status report.) The abstract submission should justify, to a general reader, why an application is interesting.

Demos and Work-in-progress Reports:

Live demonstrations or presentations of preliminary results are intended to show new developments, interesting prototypes, or work-in-progress. In the abstract submission (which need only be about half a page), describe the demo and its technical content, and be sure to include the demo's title, authors, collaborators, references, and acknowledgments. A demonstration should take 10-15 minutes, and a work-in-progress report should take about 5 minutes. The exact time per demo will be decided based on the number of accepted submissions. (Presenters will have to bring all the software and hardware for their demonstration; the workshop organizers are only able to provide a projector.)

Submission Guidelines and Instructions:

Unlike the previous Continuation Workshops, we do not require the submission of complete research papers. We will select presentations based on submitted abstracts, up to 2 (A4 or US letter) pages long in the PDF format (with the optional supplementary material, up to 8 PDF pages). Persons for whom this poses a hardship should contact the program chair. Submissions longer than a half a page should include a paragraph synopsis suitable for inclusion in the workshop program.
