[MLton-user] Call for Participation: 2007 Workshop on ML

[Claudio Russo]

Below is the preliminary program for the 2007 Workshop on ML, which is co-located with ICFP 2007 and will take place on Friday, October 5.
The early registration deadline is this Friday, September 7!

We are pleased to have Didier Rémy as our invited speaker.  In addition, we are planning to conclude the workshop with a "5-Minute Madness" session, in which attendees can give brief impromptu talks on ML-related topics.  The proposed theme for this year's madness session is "Design Ideas for Next-Generation ML", but talks on other topics are welcome as well.

If you are interested in giving a 5-Minute Madness talk, please send mail (with a brief mention of what you would like to talk about) to the program chair at dreyer at tti-c.org.  I hope to see you at the workshop!
