=============================================================== FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS The Seventh Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems (APLAS 2009) Seoul, December 14-16, 2009 http://ropas.snu.ac.kr/aplas09/ =============================================================== 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 Bangalore (2008, India), Singapore (2007), 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, 4279, and 5356. TOPICS: The symposium is devoted to both foundational and practical issues in programming languages and systems. Papers are solicited on, but not limited, to the following topics: * semantics, logics, foundational theory * type systems, language design * program analysis, optimization, transformation * software security, safety, verification * compiler systems, interpreters, abstract machines * domain-specific languages and systems * programming tools and environments INVITED SPEAKERS: TBA IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract Deadline: June 8 (Monday), 2009 Paper Submission Deadline: 24:00 AM (in Samoan Time), June 15 (Monday), 2009 Author Notification: August 17, 2009 Camera Ready: September 14, 2009 Conference: December 14-16, 2009 SUBMISSIONS INFORMATION: Papers should be submitted electronically online via the conference submission web page at URL <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2009>. Acceptable formats are PostScript or PDF, viewable by Ghostview or Adobe Reader. Submissions should not exceed 16 pages in LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings of the symposium is planned to be published as a volume in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
