Continuations have been discovered many times, which highlights their many applications in programming language semantics and program analysis, linguistics, logic, parallel processing, compilation and web programming. Recently, there has been a surge of interest specifically in delimited continuations: new implementations (in Scala, Ruby, OCaml, Haskell), new applications (to probabilistic programming, event-driven distributed processing), substructural and constructive logics, natural language semantics. The goal of the Continuation Workshop is to make continuations more accessible and useful -- to practitioners and to researchers in various areas of computer science and outside computer science. We wish to promote communication among the implementors and users in many fields. We would like to publicize the applications of continuations in academic (logic, linguistics) and practical fields and various programming languages (OCaml, Haskell, Scala, Ruby, Scheme, etc.).

A tutorial session ``Introduction to Programming with Shift and Reset'' is held in the evening of Friday Sep. 23, 2011 (the day before the workshop) at the IIJ meeting room (close to NII, the place of the ICFP conference).
The tutorial speakers are Kenichi Asai and Oleg Kiselyov. See more details. No registration fee is needed for the tutorials.
Registration to the workshop can be done through ICFP registration site. Registration fee is $90 for students, $150 for members, $180 for non-members.
Local information (conference hall, accommodation, restaurants, sightseeing, and weather etc.) is available at this page.
