OCaml Users and Developers Workshop 2012 - Program
Join us on September 14th 2012 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The next OCaml Users and Developers (OUD) meeting will be held alongside the ACM/SIGPLAN International Conference in Functional Programming. The meeting is an informal community gathering of users of the language, library authors, and developers extending OCaml in new ways. There will be no published proceedings, but videos and slides will be made available after the workshop.
OUD 2012 was a very successful day, and the videos of the talks are now being uploaded for free online. See the program below for links, which will be updated as they appear.
About
In 2012, the OCaml Meeting will be renamed the OCaml Users and Developers workshop (OUD), and be colocated with ICFP in Copenhagen, Denmark. It will be held on Friday September 14, after the ML workshop (Thu 13) and before the Commercial Users of Functional Programming (Sat 15).
The OCaml Users and Developers Workshop will bring together industrial users of OCaml with academics and hackers who are working on extending the language, type system and tools. Discussion will focus on the practical aspects of OCaml programming and the nitty gritty of the tool-chain and upcoming improvements and changes. Thus, we aim to solicit talks on all aspects related to improving the use or development of the language, including, for example:
- compiler developments; new backends, runtime and architectures.
- practical type system improvements, such as (but not exhaustively) GADTs, first-class modules, generic programming, or dependent types.
- new library or application releases, and their design rationales.
- tool enhancements by commercial consultants.
- prominent industrial uses of OCaml, or deployments in unusual situations.
It will be an informal meeting, with an online scribe report of the meeting, but no formal proceedings for this year. Slides of presentations will be available online from the workshop homepage.
