New England Programming Languages and Systems Symposium Series (NEPLS)

NEPLS is a regional venue to discuss current research in programming languages and systems. If you are unfamiliar with such events and would like an idea of what to expect, look at the agendas from our previous meetings (at the bottom of this page) as points of reference.

Our Manifesto

Upcoming Event

Date: Thursday, July 17, 2008
Venue: MITRE Corporation, Bedford, MA

Talk Proposals:

Submission Deadline: July 1, 2008
Submission Address: talks@nepls.org
Speaker Selection Committee:
Joshua Guttman (MITRE), Kathi Fisler (WPI), and Greg Morrisett (Harvard)

Local Arrangements:

Joshua Guttman

The speaker selection committee solicits talks for the next meeting. To propose yourself or someone else, send a title, list of authors, and abstract. (Optionally, you may provide other brief information that helps the speaker selection committee assess the proposal.) We particularly invite talks by researchers from other geographic areas who will be in the area on the date of the NEPLS meeting — help us identify visiting talent!

Talks can vary in length, being either regular (30 or 45 minutes) or short (5-10 minutes). The shorter format can be used for the presentation of smaller results, incipient or preliminary work, progress reports on ongoing projects (such as language standards and compiler toolkits), and updates to past presentations. In general, NEPLS talks need not sound like conference presentations.
