The school has a long and successful tradition (sponsored by the NSF, ACM SIGPLAN, and industry).  It covers current research in the theory and practice of programming languages.  Material is presented at a tutorial level that will help graduate students and researchers from academia or industry understand the critical issues and open problems confronting the field.  Prerequisites are an elementary knowledge of logic and mathematics, as covered in undergraduate classes on discrete mathematics, and some knowledge of programming languages at the level of an undergraduate survey course.
