Call for Papers

POPL 2007
January 17-19, 2007

Nice, France

Important dates

Scope & Paper Categories

The annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages is a forum for the discussion of fundamental principles and important innovations in the design, definition, analysis, transformation, implementation and verification of programming languages, programming systems, and programming abstractions. Both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome.

The Program Committee seeks submissions on the entire range of topics. Furthermore POPL 2007 is not limited to topics discussed at previous symposia.

POPL 2007 will include a new category of short papers and short presentations. The objective is to provide authors with an opportunity to present innovative ideas (without working out a full paper) and to get feedback from a broad audience. Short papers should therefore emphasize the novelty in their submission over others.

Finally the Program Committee reserves the right to accept long submissions in both categories, that is, as either regular papers or as short papers for short presentations. Authors of long submissions who don't wish to be considered for short presentations and short papers may indicate so during the submission process.

In general, each paper should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and comparing it with previous work. Authors should strive to make the technical content of their papers understandable to a broad audience.
