Fool 8: Call for Participation




			CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

		 The Eighth International Workshop on
	       Foundations of Object-Oriented Languages

				FOOL 8

		       Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

			   January 20, 2001

			   London, England
			  Following POPL '01

The search for sound principles for object-oriented languages has
given rise to much work on the theory of programming languages during
the past 15 years, leading to a better understanding of the key
concepts of object-oriented languages and to important developments in
type theory, semantics, and program verification. The FOOL workshops
bring together researchers to share new ideas and results in these
areas.

The next workshop, FOOL 8, will be held in London, England, on
Saturday January 20, 2001, the day after POPL'01. Six contributed
papers will be presented; in addition, there will be invited talks by
Benjamin Pierce (University of Pennsylvania) and Martin Odersky (Ecole
Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne).

To register for the workshop, use the standard registration form,
