[Pl-seminar] IBM PL Day

[Shriram Krishnamurthi]

As you recall, every year IBM Watson hosts a PL Day that brings
together NEPLS and our NJ cousins, NJPLS.  Their call for
presentations follows.  (Please reply to the address in the message,

The tenth annual Programming Languages Day will be held at the IBM
Thomas J. Watson Research Center on Thursday, May 7, 2009.  The day
will be held in cooperation with the New Jersey and New England
Programming Languages and Systems Seminars.  The main goal of the
event is to increase awareness of each other's work, and to encourage
interaction and collaboration between industry and academia.

This year, the Programming Languages Day will be organized around the
theme of "From Theory to Practice" and will feature two keynote
presentations: an academic presentation by Dr. Andrew Myers of Cornell
University, and an industrial Presentation by Dr. Dino Oliva of
Bloomberg LP. In addition, we plan to have approximately 8 regular
presentations of 25 minutes each.

If you would like to present your work, please send a title and
abstract to bordaw at us.ibm.com by April 10, 2009. We encourage
presentations around the PL Day theme.  Tutorials or joint
presentations are welcomed. We also solicit input on topics or
particular presentations that would be of interest to attendees.

Abstracts will be selected by a committee consisting of Rajesh
Bordawekar, IBM Research, David Naumann, Stevens Institute of
Technology, and Riccardo Pucella, Northeastern University.
Notification of accepted abstracts will be sent by approximately April
17, 2009.

The Programming Languages day will be held in room GN-F15 in the
Hawthorne-1 building in Hawthorne, New York.  You are welcome from 9AM
onwards, and the keynote presentation will start at 9.30AM sharp. We
expect the program to run until 5.30PM.

If you plan to attend the Programming Languages Day, please register
by sending an e-mail with your name, affiliation, and contact
information to bordaw at us.ibm.com so that we can plan for lunch and
refreshments to be available.
