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. The tutorial program enhances the technical program by
providing a day of half-day tutorials offered in parallel
tracks. Tutorials for PLDI 2010 are solicited on any topic relevant to
the PLDI audience. In particular, tutorials that strive to do one of
the following have been particularly successful in the past:

* Describe an important piece of research infrastructure
* Educate the community on an emerging topic

For examples of past tutorials, see (among others) the websites of
PLDI 2009, 2008, and 2007 (at
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/kim/publicity/pldi09tutorials,
http://www.research.ibm.com/people/h/hind/pldi08-tutorial-program.htm
and http://ties.ucsd.edu/PLDI/tutorials.shtml, respectively).
