NEPLS, the New England Programming Languages and Systems Symposium Series, 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

Most Recent Event

Friday, September 27, 2024

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.

Email Contacts

You can directly join the NEPLS mailing list. All event-related business (first announcement of dates, calls for talks, etc.) will be done through this list. This is a low-volume, moderated, non-discussion list that will never have non-NEPLS mail.

If you have questions about the series or the venue, please first read our manifesto and past event schedules. To answer the most frequently asked questions: the events are free of cost, and they are open to all. A few weeks before the event, the list will feature a sign-up mechanism. Until then, you need not do anything.

If, after you have thoroughly browsed these pages, you have other questions—or if you spot a problem—send mail to Shriram Krishnamurthi.

Future Meetings

We plan to have a NEPLS in Spring 2025 at UMass Lowell! Let us know if you want to be added to the list.
