[HiPEAC-announce] PLDI'09 Comes to Europe!

[Michael Hind]

                      CALL FOR PAPERS
                ACM SIGPLAN 2009 Conference on
        Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)
               Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland
                       June 15th-21st
       Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT
              http://www.cs.colorado.edu/pldi09
 

IMPORTANT DATES
  Abstract deadline: Friday, Nov 7th, Midnight EST 
  Paper deadline: Friday, Nov 14th, Midnight EST 
  Rebuttal period: Monday, Jan 12th to Wednesday, Jan 14th 
  Notification: Tuesday, January 27th

SCOPE OF THE TECHNICAL PROGRAM. 
The PLDI conference seeks original research papers that focus on
issues in the design, development, implementation, evaluation, and use
of programming languages. A strong PLDI submission will present a
creative solution to a real problem, or evaluate existing solutions in
a way that sheds new insights, or both. 

TOPICS OF INTEREST. 
Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics as
they relate to the design, development, implementation, evaluation,
and use of programming languages:

 Extracting parallelism from programs
 Exploiting explicit parallelism in programs
 Memory management 
 Language constructs for parallelism
 Program analyses 
 Performance analysis, evaluation, and tools
 Performance optimizations 
 Pointer analyses
 Domain-specific languages 
 Novel programming models and tools
 Type systems and program logics
 Debugging techniques and tools
 Language designs and extensions
 Analyses and tools for transforming and understanding programs
 Checking or improving the safety, security, or correctness of programs
 Interaction of compilers and run-time systems with underlying systems

SUBMISSION. 

Submissions may not exceed 10 pages formatted according to the ACM
proceedings format. These 10 pages include everything (i.e., it is the
total length of the paper). The program chair will reject papers that
exceed the length requirement or are submitted late. 

Templates for ACM format are available for Word Perfect, Microsoft
Word, and LaTex at 
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm 
(use the 9 pt template). Submissions should be in PDF and printable on
US Letter and A4 sized paper. 

Paper submission is double-blind to reduce reviewer bias against or
for authors or institutions. Thus, the submissions cannot include
author names or institutions.

Papers must describe unpublished work that is not currently submitted
for publication elsewhere (including journals and proceedings of
refereed conferences and workshops). See the SIGPLAN republication
policy for more details
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/republicationpolicy.htm).


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 relates to previous work.

                  EXTERNAL REVIEW COMMITTEE

The external review committee (ERC) is a new addition to PLDI 2009.
This committee will provide most (if not all) of the external reviews
for PLDI.  We added the ERC to ensure that most of the paper reviews
are from (i) experts and (ii) from people that are reviewing a number
of PLDI papers and are thus calibrated to the paper quality.
