The 14th ACM SIGPLAN
International Conference on
Functional Programming
(ICFP 2009)

Edinburgh, Scotland
31st August - 2nd September 2009

ICFP 2009 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 work, from practice to theory, including its peripheries.


Information

The conference will be held at the Royal College of Physicians, a historic building in the centre of Scotland's capital city of Edinburgh. As an additional attraction for participants, the conference also coincides with the final week of the Edinburgh International Festival, one of the premier arts and cultural festivals in the world. Due to the popularity of Edinburgh during the festival period, we recommend booking accommodation early, via the local arrangements link below. Various forms of financial support, including support for student authors and child-care assistance, is available from the SIGPLAN Professional Activities Committee.
