                           HOPE 2024

                The 12th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on
              Higher-Order Programming with Effects

                        September 2, 2024
                      Milano, Italy
                   (the day before ICFP 2024)

HOPE 2024 aims at bringing together researchers interested in the
design, semantics, implementation, and verification of higher-order
effectful programs. It will be *informal*, consisting of contributed
talks on work in progress, and open-ended discussion sessions.

This year we are delighted to have Rasmus Ejlers Møgelberg
(IT University of Copenhagen) who will give the keynote presentation.

----------------------
Call for Talk Proposals
-----------------------

We solicit proposals for contributed talks. We recommend preparing
proposals of at most 2 pages excluding references, in either plain
text or PDF format. However, we will accept longer proposals or
submissions to other conferences, under the understanding that PC
members are only expected to read the first two pages of such longer
submissions. When submitting talk proposals, authors should specify
how long a talk the speaker wishes to give. By default, contributed
talks will be 30 minutes long, but proposals for shorter or longer
talks will also be considered. Speakers may also submit supplementary
material (e.g. a full paper, talk slides) if they desire, which PC
members are free (but not expected) to read.

We are interested in talks on all topics related to the interaction of
higher-order programming and computational effects. Talks about work
in progress are particularly encouraged. If you have any questions
about the relevance of a particular topic, please contact the PC
chairs, Guilhem Jaber (guilhem.jaber AT univ-nantes.fr) and Max
S. New (maxsnew AT umich.edu).


Deadline for talk proposals: May 30, 2024 (Thursday)

Notification of acceptance:   June 27, 2024 (Thursday)

Workshop:     September 2, 2024 (Monday)

The submission website is now open:

Goals of the Workshop
---------------------

A recurring theme in the research of many ICFP attendees, is the
interaction of higher-order programming with various kinds of effects:
storage effects, I/O, control effects, concurrency, etc. While effects
are of critical importance in many applications, they also make it
hard to build, maintain, and reason about one's code. Higher-order
languages (both functional and object-oriented) provide a variety of
abstraction mechanisms to help "tame" or "encapsulate" effects
(e.g. monads, ADTs, ownership types, typestate, first-class events,
transactions, Hoare Type Theory, session types, substructural and
region-based type systems), and a number of different semantic models
and verification technologies have been developed in order to codify
and exploit the benefits of this encapsulation (e.g. bisimulations,
step-indexed Kripke logical relations, higher-order separation logic,
game semantics, various modal logics). But there remain many open
problems, and the field is highly active.

The goal of the HOPE workshop is to bring researchers from a variety
of different backgrounds and perspectives together to exchange new and
exciting ideas concerning the design, semantics, implementation, and
verification of higher-order effectful programs.

We want HOPE to be as informal and interactive as possible. The
program will thus involve a combination of invited talks, contributed
talks about work in progress, and open-ended discussion
sessions. There will be no published proceedings, but participants
will be invited to submit working documents, talk slides, etc. to be
posted on this website.
