Scope

A good submission is one that outlines a new problem or an interesting, underrepresented problem domain. Good submissions may also remind the PL community of problems that were once in vogue but have not recently been seen in top PL conferences. Good submissions do not need to propose complete or even partial solutions, though there should be some reason to believe that programming languages researchers have the tools necessary to search for solutions in the area at hand. Submissions that seem likely to stimulate discussion about the direction of programming language research are encouraged. Possible topics include any of the following.

• Biology, chemistry, or other natural sciences

• Art, music, graphics and animation

• Networking, cloud computing, systems programming

• Linguistics

• Economics, law, politics or other social sciences

• Web programming, social computing

• Algorithms and complexity

• Mathematics, statistics

• Machine learning or artificial intelligence

• Education

• Unusual compilers; underrepresented programming languages

• Surprise us!

We certainly hope to see submissions on topics not mentioned above. The goal of the workshop is to be inclusive, not exclusive. Submissions are evaluated on the basis of creativity, novelty, clarity, possible impact and potential for stimulating discussion. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are strongly encouraged to consult the Program Chair prior to submission.
