  This spring school focuses on how-to-write-functional-programs.  The
spring school aims to bring computer scientists up-to-date with the
latest advanced functional programming techniques.  It is assumed that
the attendees have some basic knowledge of functional programming,
i.e., on the level of Bird and Wadler's `Introduction to functional
programming'.  An ample amount of time will be spent on exercises.
The  number of students will be strictly limited, in order to allow 
an intensive interaction between students and lecturers.  
  *List of Topics* includes:
 o  the application of monads in among others I/O and interpreters
 o  special purpose libraries for parsing, pretty printing
    and graphical user interfaces
 o  applications of type classes and constructor classes,
    algorithms on graphs
 o  the Bird-Meertens calculus
 o  functional programming with algebras.
  *Speakers* John Hughes (G"oteborg), John Launchbury (OGI), Mark
Jones (Nottingham), Phil Wadler (Glasgow), Jeroen Fokker (Utrecht),
Lennart Augustsson (G"oteborg), Dick Kieburtz (OGI), Magnus Carlsson
(G"oteborg), Erik Meijer (Utrecht), Thomas Hallgren (G"oteborg).
  *Applications* The number of attendees is limited, so it's important
to return the application form (see full version of this announcement)
as soon as possible. *Deadline* for applications is _April 1, 1995_.
