A Dagstuhl Seminar on the topic of Generic Programming was held April 27--May 1, 1998, with forty seven participants from ten countries. During the meeting there were thirty seven lectures, a panel session, and several problem sessions. The outcomes of the meeting include

• A collection of abstracts of all of the lectures, made publicly available via this web site. (As usual the abstracts are also being printed in booklet form for distribution to the participants and for availability on request from the Dagstuhl office.)
• Plans for a proceedings volume of papers submitted after the seminar that present (possibly extended) discussions of the topics covered in the lectures, problem sessions, and the panel session.

  The published proceedings volume is LNCS 1766:

  @Proceedings{gpdag98,
    title =   {Generic Programming: International Seminar, Dagstuhl Castle, 
                   Germany, 1998, Selected Papers},
    year =   {2000},
    editor =   {M. Jazayeri and R. Loos and D. Musser},
    volume =   {1766},
    series =   {Lecture Notes in Computer Science},
    publisher = {Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, Germany},
  }
  

• A list of generic programming projects and open problems, which will be maintained publicly on the World Wide Web. Additions, clarifications, and progress reports from all interested parties (not just the Dagstuhl seminar participants) are encouraged! The list will also be included in some form in the proceedings volume as it exists at the time the volume is finalized.

For printing the full set of pages at this web site, a postscript file is available, in three formats: gzip compressed (about 100Kb), zip compressed (about 100Kb), or uncompressed (about 430Kb). Printing from this file is more convenient than printing each page using your web browser, and the result is better formatted.
