About PLDI

PLDI 2014 is the 35th annual ACM SIGPLAN conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation.

PLDI is a forum where researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners exchange information on the latest practical and experimental work in the design and implementation of programming languages.

PLDI seeks original research papers that focus on the design, implementation, development, and use of programming languages.

PLDI emphasizes innovative and creative approaches to compile-time and runtime technology; novel language designs and features; and results from implementations.

The conference itself will be held Monday through Wednesday June 9-11. We currently expect tutorials on the preceding Sunday, and a number of co-located conferences on the following Thursday and Friday.

The original call for papers and tutorials are available here and accepted Papers.

Practices of PLDI

The document Practices of PLDI describes the contract between PLDI organizers and the broader community. The document was approved in June 2013. The Chair of the PLDI Steering Committee has the source for the document and is responsible for maintaining it in consultation with the PLDI Steering Committee and the broader community.

Student research competition

The student research competition provides an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students attending PLDI 2014 to present their research work in the area of programming language design and implementation. The goal is to give students a forum to discuss their research with experts in their field, and to help them sharpen their research and communication skills.
