Call for Tutorials (POPL 2016)



Since 2012, POPL has been/is home to TutorialFest, which features a buffet of half-day talks oriented towards students in particular and other POPL attendees in general.



Tutorials for POPL 2016 are solicited on any topic relevant to the POPL audience. In particular, tutorials that strive to do one of the following have been especially successful in the past:

  *   Describe an important piece of research infrastructure.

  *   Educate the community on an emerging topic.

For examples of past tutorials, see the websites of TutorialFest<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__wrigstad.com_popl13_tutorialfest.html&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=j79-cJ16iYo85iEKWqCQ1OC36a9y0sRzwTeXIcyCuXs&m=frXY1JFj0ONl25WQn4rpCHYN6G7S-Pz7jy6qkMstHJ0&s=MTxDqEEkJQy0OCB7pEVsIf2066qZtBszjq0IpJBAiBA&e=> 2013<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__wrigstad.com_popl13_tutorialfest.html&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=j79-cJ16iYo85iEKWqCQ1OC36a9y0sRzwTeXIcyCuXs&m=frXY1JFj0ONl25WQn4rpCHYN6G7S-Pz7jy6qkMstHJ0&s=MTxDqEEkJQy0OCB7pEVsIf2066qZtBszjq0IpJBAiBA&e=> and 2014<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__popl.mpi-2Dsws.org_2014_tutorials2.html&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=j79-cJ16iYo85iEKWqCQ1OC36a9y0sRzwTeXIcyCuXs&m=frXY1JFj0ONl25WQn4rpCHYN6G7S-Pz7jy6qkMstHJ0&s=1VzN5R55PU3OKLe02twSwJFBKWQRoMHz80Rrvx8Aa8M&e=>.



In 2016, tutorials will be held on Monday January 18, 2016 (two days before the main conference and the day before PLMW).  For each accepted tutorial, one presenter will receive complimentary registration to POPL. We are investigating low-cost options for video-recording tutorials if consented by tutorial presenters.
