[TYPES/announce] SPLASH 2011: Call for Contributions

[Jonathan Aldrich]

SPLASH and its constituent conference (and predecessor) OOPSLA typically 
include a fair number of type system papers.  OOPSLA and SPLASH are no 
longer focused explicitly on objects, so a broad variety of type systems 
work would be welcomed - Jonathan Aldrich



ACM Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications:
                Software for Humanity (SPLASH'11)
                       Portland, Oregon

                   Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN


Since 2010 SPLASH has been the umbrella conference for OOPSLA and
Onward!. This year SPLASH features a third technical track, Wavefront,
designed to publish innovative work closely related to advanced
development and production software.

The overall theme of the conference is "The Internet as the world-wide
Virtual Machine."  This theme captures the change in the order of
magnitude of computing that happened over the past few years.
