About PLDI

PLDI is a forum where researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners exchange information on the latest practical and experimental work in the design and implementation of programming languages.

PLDI seeks original research papers that focus on the design, implementation, development, and use of programming languages.

PLDI emphasizes innovative and creative approaches to compile-time and runtime technology; novel language designs and features; and results from implementations.

Topics

Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following:

  • Language designs and extensions
  • Static and dynamic analysis of programs
  • Domain-specific languages and tools
  • Type systems and program logics
  • Program transformation and optimization
  • Checking or improving the security or correctness of programs
  • Memory management
  • Parallelism, both implicit and explicit
  • Performance analysis, evaluation, and tools
  • Novel programming models
  • Debugging techniques and tools
  • Program understanding
  • Interaction of compilers/runtimes with underlying systems
  • Program synthesis

Special PLDI reception

There will be a special reception for PLDI attendees Sunday, June 5th from 7:30pm - 9:30pm directly following the Turing Award lecture.

Program and schedule

A detailed schedule is available.

Travel support grants

Students can receive a travel award to attend PLDI '11. There are several sources of funding, but all will be distributed through the SIGPLAN professional activities committee (PAC) awards system. The application form can be found at:

http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm

A SIGPLAN PAC Award is funded by SIGPLAN and its industrial supporters for students who have a paper or poster at PLDI'11 or its co-located events.

A PLDI'11 Travel Award, through the generous support of the National Science Foundation, funds other student travel with the goal of expanding the PLDI community. You do not need to have a paper at the conference to receive a PLDI'11 Travel Award. Students receiving these funds will be asked to share additional information with the NSF.

SIGPLAN also has funds for

  • child-care travel support
  • companion travel
  • long distance international travel

The details on these programs can also be found at the SIGPLAN PAC website.
