Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Generic programming

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 6th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming (WGP 2010), held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, on 26th September 2010. The workshop is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN and is affiliated with the 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2010). Previous Workshops on Generic Programming have been held in Marstrand (affiliated with MPC), Ponte de Lima (affiliated with MPC), Nottingham (informal workshop), Dagstuhl (IFIP TC2/IFIP WG2.1 Working Conference), Oxford (informal workshop), Utrecht (informal workshop), Portland (affiliated with ICFP), Victoria (affiliated with ICFP), and Edinburgh (affiliated with ICFP). The call for papers generated 12 submissions. Each paper was evaluated by at least four members of the programme committee with the help of additional reviewers. During a five-day virtual meeting, the programme committee selected 9 papers for presentation at the workshop. The papers cover a variety of generic programming topics, including dependently typed programming, language-integrated querying, datatype-generic programming and traversal-based generic programming. We hope that the proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for both researchers and students.
