Call for Papers


ACM SIGPLAN'96 Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation


Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 21-24, 1996


PLDI'96 will again provide a forum for researchers and developers to hear about
the latest practical and experimental work in the design and implementation of
programming languages and compilers. Emphasis will be placed on experimental
results and experience with the languages and techniques described. The
conference seeks original papers relevant to practical issues concerning the
design, development, implementation, and use of programming languages (in
contrast to the POPL symposium, which typically seeks papers on foundations).
Conference topics include:


      * compiler construction
      * design and use of languages
      * storage management and runtime systems
      * benchmarks and assessment
      * optimizations for scalar & parallel architectures
      * program analysis
      * debugging and programming environments
      * incremental, interpretive and interactive methods
      * intermediate representations
      * implementation of non-traditional languages


Submission of an extended abstract may be in either electronic or hard-copy
form. Electronic submissions must be in Postscript. Submissions may be emailed
to burkem@watson.ibm.com. An interactive submission mechanism, which is
recommended, is described in the PLDI'96 homepage at
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/pldi96. Alternatively, authors may submit 13
double-sided copies of an extended abstract to the program chair; persons
without access to photocopiers may submit a single copy.


The first sheet of the abstract - not the cover letter - must include the phone
number and street and Internet addresses for the corresponding author.
Abstracts must not exceed 5000 words, which is approximately 10 pages typeset
10-point on 16-point spacing. Excessively long abstracts will be rejected
outright by the program chair. Papers awaiting acceptance by another conference
are ineligible for PLDI'96; if a closely related paper has been submitted to a
journal, the authors must notify the program chair.


The abstract must be organized so that it is easily understood by an audience
with varied expertise. The abstract should clearly identify what has been
accomplished, why it is significant, and how it compares with previous work.
Abstracts will be judged on clarity, significance, relevance, correctness, and
originality.


October 20, 1995 is the strict deadline for receipt of submissions. Abstracts
received after this date - in any form - will most likely be rejected. Authors
will be notified of acceptance or rejection by January 12, 1996 . Full versions
of the accepted papers must be formatted according to ACM conventions, and a
camera-ready copy must be received by the program chair no later than February
8, 1996 . Authors of accepted papers must sign an ACM copyright release form.
Proceedings will be distributed at the conference and will appear as an issue
of SIGPLAN Notices . All papers published in the proceedings are eligible for
publication in refereed ACM publications at the discretion of the editors.
