S-REPLS is a regular informal meeting for those with a professional
interest in programming languages in the South of England region. The
past four meetings consisted of 50-90 participants from academia and
industry with invited and contributed talks ranging from abstract
areas in semantics and type system theory to nuts-and-bolts
implementations of mainstream and avant-garde compilers and
programming languages.

We will hold the next meeting at the University of Oxford Department
of Computer Science.

Contributing a talk
-------------------

Talks are typically in 20-30 slots. In light of the popularity of past
S-REPLs, we might not be able to offer a slot for every proposal. The
schedule will therefore include ample time for informal discussions
over coffee. Submissions from industrial professionals and junior
researchers (postdocs and students), and description of work in
progress are especially welcome.

To propose a talk, please send your title and abstract to:

Ohad Kammar <ohad.kammar at cs.ox.ac.uk>

by 8 December 2016

or earlier (preferably), as we plan to advertise the programme by
22 December 2016.

Please include in your proposal whether you have special requirements,
such as a shorter time slot, or non-standard equipment. These
requirements will have no direct bearing on the selection process.

Sign-up
-------

The meeting is free of charge, but for logistical purposes please
indicate if you plan to attend:

Mailing list
------------

All S-REPLS related communications are made via the mailing list:

  http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/srepls

This mailing list has very low traffic. If you have professional
interests in programming language in the region, we encourage you to
sign up.

Sponsorship
-----------

Please let us know of potential sponsorship opportunities at:

Ohad Kammar <ohad.kammar at cs.ox.ac.uk>

Past events have had academic, industrial, and government sponsorship
for invited speaker costs, catering costs (lunch, dinner, or
refreshments during the break).
