Call for Participation The Fifth Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems November 29 - December 1, 2007 Singapore http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~aplas07/ http://flint.cs.yale.edu/aplas2007/ Scope of the Conference ----------------------- APLAS aims at stimulating programming language research by providing a forum for the presentation of recent results and the exchange of ideas and experience in topics concerned with programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but is an international forum that serves the worldwide programming languages community. The APLAS series is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software (AAFS), which has recently been founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many researchers from Europe and the USA. The past formal APLAS symposiums were successfully held in Sydney (2006, Australia), Tsukuba (2005, Japan), Taipei (2004, Taiwan) and Beijing (2003, China) after three informal workshops held in Shanghai (2002, China), Daejeon (2001, Korea) and Singapore (2000). Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer-Verlag's LNCS 2895, 3302, 3780, and 4279. Conference Location ------------------- APLAS'07 will be held at Kent Ridge Guild House, National University of Singapore.
