Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast to normal programs, the parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, classes, concepts, or even programming paradigms.
This special issue aims at documenting state-of-the-art research, new developments and directions for future investigation in the broad field of Generic Programming. It is an outgrowth of the series of Workshops on Generic Programming, which started in 1998 and which continues this year with an ICFP affiliated workshop in Edinburgh. Participants of the workshops are invited to submit a suitably revised and expanded version of their paper to the special issue. The call for papers is, however, open. Other contributions are equally welcome and are, indeed, encouraged. All submitted papers will be subjected to the same quality criteria, meeting the standards of the Journal of Functional Programming.
The special issue seeks original contributions on all aspects of generic programming including but not limited to
