CALL FOR PAPERS

ACM SIGPLAN 2002 Conference on

Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)

Berlin, Germany, June 17 - 19, 2002

Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT

http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/~hendren/PLDI2002/

======================================================================

IMPORTANT DATES --------------- - Submission deadline: Friday, November 16, 2001, 8:00 pm EST (20:00) - Notification: Friday, February 1, 2002 - Camera Ready Deadline: Monday, April 8, 2002

IMPORTANT --------- As for PLDI 2001, full papers are required, not extended abstracts!

Introduction ------------ PLDI is a forum where researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners can exchange information on the latest practical and experimental work in the design and implementation of programming languages. The PLDI conference seeks original research papers that focus on practical issues in the design, development, implementation and use of programming languages. Emphasis is placed on novel language designs, innovative and creative approaches to compile-time and run-time technology, and results from experimental studies of actual implementations.

Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, these topics:

- design and processing of special- - program optimizations and purpose languages, e.g., query, transformations command, and domain-specific - interactions between compilers - implementations of language features and architectures - language support for security - software support tools and safety - storage management techniques - compiler construction - techniques for embedded - program representations and mobile code - program analysis - compilation for distributed, - dynamic compilation and optimization heterogeneous systems techniques - languages and compilers for parallel computing

Prospective authors should submit a paper through the PLDI web site by Friday, November 16, 2001 at 8:00 PM EST (20:00). In keeping with the convention established in the last few years, the deadline is firm and no extensions will be given.

Papers must be formatted according the ACM proceedings format and should be no longer than 10 pages in this format. Templates for ACM format are available for Word Perfect, Microsoft Word and Latex and are located at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. You can also use the ACM "old Latex format" which can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/PUBFORM.STY.

Web-based electronic submission is required. Submissions should be in PDF (preferably) or Postscript that is interpretable by Ghostscript and printable on US Letter and A4 sized paper. Those individuals for which these requirements are a hardship should contact the program chair.

Papers that exceed the length requirement or are late will be rejected by the program chair. Papers already being reviewed by another conference are not eligible; if a closely related paper has been submitted to a journal, the authors must notify the program chair.

Paper evaluation ---------------- The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each submission as well as its general accessibility to the PLDI audience. Papers will be judged on significance, originality, relevance, correctness, and clarity. The paper must be organized so that it is easily understood by an audience with varied expertise. The paper should clearly identify what has been accomplished, why it is significant, and how it compares with previous work.

Notification and deadline for final version of accepted papers -------------------------------------------------------------- Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by February 1, 2002. Full versions of accepted papers must be formatted to ACM conventions. A camera-ready copy and an electronic version must be received by ACM no later than April 8, 2002. Authors of accepted papers must sign a copyright release form.

Proceedings ----------- Proceedings will be distributed at the conference and will appear as an issue of SIGPLAN Notices. Papers published in the proceedings are eligible for publication in refereed ACM publications at the discretion of the editors.

Proposals for co-located workshops ---------------------------------- Proposals for co-located workshops to be held before and after the conference are also solicited; proposals for other events such as birds-of-a-feather sessions will be considered, too. Prospective organizers should contact the general chair.
