[David Walker]

[Naturally, submissions concerning types are highly encouraged!]

The ninth annual Programming Languages Day will be held at the IBM 
Thomas J. Watson Research Center on Thursday, August 28, 2008. 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.

The Programming Languages Day features a keynote presentation and 
approximately 8 regular presentations. Dr. Saman Amarasinghe, MIT, will 
deliver the keynote presentation this year.

If you would like to present your work, please send a title and abstract 
to rfuhrer at us.ibm.com <mailto:rfuhrer at us.ibm.com> by July 23, 2008. 
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 Stephen Freund, 
Williams College; David Walker, Princeton University, and Robert Fuhrer, 
IBM Research. Notification of accepted abstracts will be sent by 
approximately July 30, 2008.

You are welcome from 9AM onwards, and the keynote presentation will 
start at 10AM sharp. We expect the program to run until 4PM. The 
Programming Languages day will be held in room GN-F15 in the Hawthorne-1 
building in Hawthorne, New York.

If you plan to attend the Programming Languages Day, please register by 
sending an e-mail with your name, affiliation, and contact information
