Mt Washington Conference Center Baltimore, MD Saturday, September 26, 1998 (ICFP dates September 27-29)

Organization

The workshop co-organizers are Robert Constable (Cornell) and Daniel Leivant (Indiana).

The meeting is made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation, which the organizers gratefully acknowledge.

Workshop Focus

Advances in implicit computational complexity, i.e., machine independent characterizations of computational complexity classes, have been confined to date mostly to theoretical foundations. The areas involved, including restricted function algebras, lambda calculi, weak formal theories, and finite model theory, have seen an explosion of research activity, publications, and scientific meetings. The time seems ripe for a community effort to implement these ideas in programming language design and implementation.

The workshop will cover issues such as type theories that support computational complexity, user friendly programming languages built on top of those, and compiler construction for such languages.
