Goals of the Workshop
---------------------
Functional and declarative programming plays an increasingly
important
role in computing education at all levels. The aim of this workshop is
to
bring together educators and others who are interested in exchanging
ideas
on how to use a functional or declarative programming style in the
classroom or in e-learning environments. Beyond the traditional focus
of
teaching programming by means of the functional or declarative
paradigm,
we are especially interested in case studies showing how these
languages
can be elegantly applied in teaching other topics of computer science
(such as Appel's use of ML to teach compiler construction).
Another interesting area covered by the workshop should be dedicated
to
teaching functional or declarative programming ideas in industrial
environments. Functional and declarative languages have become more
influential in industry. Thus, teaching such languages has become an
interesting topic, as it must take into consideration long
programming
experiences in imperative languages.
Topics:
-------
The workshop will cover a wide spectrum of functional and declarative
programming techniques:
* programming courses using traditional functional and
declarative
programming languages (e.g. Haskell, Mathematica, ML, Prolog,
Scheme, etc);
* programming courses teaching functional programming in
commercial
languages (e.g. C, C++, Common LISP, etc);
* programming courses teaching functional program design in modern
OO
languages (e.g. Java, C#, Eiffel, etc);
* pedagogic programming environments to support functional and
declarative programming;
* teaching tools implemented with functional and declarative
languages and/or ideas;
* declarative programming language extensions and implementations
with
pedagogical relevance;
* application courses that benefit heavily from functional and
declarative programming (e.g. theorem proving or hardware
design).
Furthermore, the workshop will also cover all levels of education:
* secondary school;
* college and university;
* post-college and continuing professional education.
FDPE will be held in conjunction with the 13th ACM SIGPLAN
International
Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2008) in Victoria, British
Columbia, Canada on Sunday, September 21, 2008.
Submitted papers should describe new ideas, experimental results, or
education-related projects. In order to encourage lively discussion,
submitted papers may describe new ideas of education as well as
project
proposals about incorporating functional and declarative concepts
into
education curricula. All papers will be judged on a combination of
correctness, significance, novelty, clarity, and interest to the
community.
All paper submissions must be at most 12 pages total length in the
standard ACM SIGPLAN two-column conference format (9pt). Accepted
papers
will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital
Library.
Submissions will be refereed by the program commitee who will call
upon
other members involved in teaching in related areas for expert advice.

I would say it's on topic actually, as a common theme at CUFP workshops is "it's hard to find FP'ers to hire". Increasing the number of college graduates who are practitioners is one way to solve that problem, and that's a central focus of FDPE. We've even had some crossover sessions with FDPE in the past.
