			      ICFP 2002
	  International Conference on Functional Programming
			 Pittsburgh, PA, USA
			  October 4-6, 2002

		     Early Registration Deadline:
			  SEPTEMBER 12, 2002
		       (** Next Thursday!! **)

The ICFP conference provides a forum for researchers and developers to
hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles,
and uses of functional programming. The conference covers the entire
spectrum of functional programming, from practice to theory, and from
established functional programming languages (Scheme, ML, Haskell) to
novel language designs and to the functional aspects of
object-oriented or concurrent languages.

ICFP 2002 features invited talks by Brad Myers, J Strother Moore, and
Neil Jones.  The results of the ICFP Programming Contest will also be
announced. 	

ICFP is part of PLI, a confederation of conferences and workshops
aimed at the advancement of high-level programming languages.  This
year, PLI consists of three conferences:

  ICFP (International Conference on Functional Programming)
  PPDP (International Conference on Principles and Practice of
        Declarative Programming)
  GPCE (Generative Programming and Component Engineering)

and seven workshops:

  Haskell
  PLAN-X (Programming Languages for XML)
  Scheme
  Rule (Rule-Based Programming)
  VCL (Verification and Computational Logic)
  Erlang
  FDPE (Functional and Declarative Programming in Education)

The hotel's cut-off date for guaranteed reservations at the group rate
is also September 12, 2002, so do register and reserve soon.

We look forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh!
