CONFERENCE ON FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
(FPCA '93)
Copenhagen, Denmark
June 9-11, 1993
Previous conferences were held in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (1981),
Nancy, France (1985), Portland, Oregon (1987), London, England (1989)
and Cambridge, Massachusetts (1991).
FPCA covers the design and theory of functional programming languages,
their applications, and their implementations on parallel and
sequential architectures. Topics include (but are not limited to):
language design, type theory, formal semantics; compilation techniques
for sequential and parallel machines, compile-time analysis,
optimizations, program transformations; partial evaluation;
programming methods; generalizations of the functional programming
paradigm for state, control, non-determinism, and parallelism;
special-purpose functional languages; architectural and system support
for storage management, for garbage collection, and for input/output
in functional languages. FPCA encourages presentation of practical
experience gained from writing substantial applications in functional
languages or experience in implementing functional languages.
Proceedings will be published by ACM Press.

Excursion and banquet:
The excursion Thursday afternoon takes us to Roskilde, one of the
oldest towns in Denmark and earlier the seat of the kings of Denmark.
We will start at the Viking Ship Hall, which contains a collection of
different types of Viking ships found in Roskilde Fjord. These ships
have been carefully preserved and reassembled, a process which still
takes place. After a tour of the museum, there will be time to see the
town on an individual basis. The sights include Roskilde Cathedral,
which contains the tombs of former Danish kings and queens. We will
meet again at the harbour near the Viking Ship Hall, embarking on M/S
Sagafjord which will take us on a tour of the fiord while we enjoy the
banquet.
WORKSHOP ON STATE IN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
(SIPL '93)
Copenhagen, Denmark
June 12, 1993
Programming languages have been state-based since their inception.
After a period of relative unpopularity, when research focused on
declarative languages, interest in the treatment of state has been
renewed. This is not a backlash against declarative programming.
Rather, it is an attempt to find a symbiotic relationship between the
semantic foundations of declarative languages and the pragmatic
handling of state in more conventional languages.
SIPL is the first workshop to concentrate solely on the fundamental
issues of expressing, manipulating, and reasoning about state in
high-level programming languages. It is intended to bring together
active researchers and practioners alike.
Part of the workshop will consist of presentations of papers selected
from submissions by the program committee. Presentations will be
followed by discussion periods. Besides the presentations, a panel
discussion will review current work, discuss its applicability, and
will outline areas of future research.
An informal proceedings will be distributed at the workshop and will
be avaliable subsequently as a Yale technical report. The workshop
will start at 9.00 a.m. on June 12, 1993 and will last one day.

SYMPOSIUM ON PARTIAL EVALUATION AND SEMANTICS BASED PROGRAM MANIPULATION
(PEPM '93)
Copenhagen, Denmark
June 14-16, 1993
Previous meetings were held on Funen, Denmark (1987), and in New Haven,
Connecticut (1991) and San Francisco, California (1992).
Partial Evaluation is an old idea which has only recently taken off. It
is a technique which allows computers themselves to rewrite other
computer programs in the light of new information, in order to make
them as efficient as possible.
The goal of the symposium is to investigate the principles and
applications of manipulating programs based on their semantics
(mathematical meanings). More specifically, the symposium will
emphasize four main themes:
Fundamentals:
What meanings can be given to programs? How can these be preserved,
even when the program is rewritten? How can operations on both
programs and data best be combined?
Techniques:
How can programs be analysed to guide transformation? What
methods of transformation are most appropriate?
Applications:
How may partial evaluation be used to improve programs in the fields of
scientific computing, pattern matching, compiler generation,
theorem proving, algorithm debugging, etc.?
Programming language issues -- languages for manipulated programs:
What are the implications for partial evaluation of using a
variety of programming language features or language paradigms?
How can the particular features of functional languages (strict
or lazy), logic languages, or object oriented languages, etc.
be handled?
The proceedings of the symposium will be published by ACM Press.

The Komfort Hotel, the designated conference hotel for FPCA, SIPL and
PEPM, is located on a quiet side-street of the Town Hall Square, which
is in the center of the city. It is only a short distance from the
central railway station and from the amusement park Tivoli and only
meters from the central pedestrian mall, which is the main shopping
district in Copenhagen (especially, but not only, for tourists). The
rooms are small by American standards but have all the facilities one
might expect: bathroom with shower, desk, telephone, television,
wardrobe. And the location is supreme for touristic and
after-conference activities.

GENERAL INFORMATION
How to get there:
The conference hotel is situated close to the Copenhagen Town Hall
Square and only a short distance from the Main Railway Station.
>From airport to hotel: A taxi will take about 20 minutes and cost
around 125 DKK, the airport-bus to the Main Station takes 25 minutes
and costs 28 DKK, and the local bus 32 directly to the Town Hall
Square takes about 35 minutes and costs 14.25 DKK.
>From hotel to conference site: Bus 173E is a direct connection between
the Town Hall Square and Universitetsparken. The trip takes about 14
minutes (5 stops), but this bus only operates mornings and afternoons
and not on Saturdays or Sundays. (The price of a ticket is 9.50 DKK.)
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen, today Scandinavia's largest city and focal point with a
population of 1.5 million, capital of Denmark, and seat of
the oldest kingdom in the world, was founded in A.D. 1167
by Bishop Absalon around a castle and a small harbour
(the origin of the name ``Koebenhavn'' is ``merchants' harbour'').
The University of Copenhagen celebrated its 500th anniversary in 1989.
Most of the city's outstanding buildings including the Old Stock Exchange,
the Round Tower and Rosenborg Castle, were erected during the reign of
King Christian IV (1588-1648). Besieged by the Swedes in the seventeenth
century and hit by the plague and two devastating fires in the
following century, Copenhagen was attacked twice by the British in the
Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800's and occupied by the Germans
during World War II. Since the mid nineteenth century
Copenhagen has grown steadily, and today the only remains of the
original ramparts which protected the city in sterner times
can be seen along the Lakes, in Tivoli, in the parks and at the citadel.
Other sights and collections: Amalienborg Castle (the royal palace),
Christiansborg Castle (Parliament), The Little Mermaid, Statens
Museum for Kunst (National Gallery), Glyptoteket.
Outside Copenhagen: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek,
Kronborg Castle in Elsinore, Frederiksborg Castle in Hilleroed.
A trip to Sweden is also a possibility (Malmoe can be reached in
45 minutes by hydrofoil).

Copenhagen climate:
Mild and unpredictable. The average temperature in the middle of June
is 14 degrees Celsius, but for some years now we have
had bright sunshine and up to 30 degrees Celsius for several weeks
at this time of the year. The average precipitation in June is
47 mm, so rain is not unlikely.
