The 45th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming
Languages (POPL 2018) will be held in Los Angeles, USA.

POPL provides a forum for the discussion of fundamental principles
and important innovations in the design, definition, analysis,
transformation, implementation and verification of programming
languages, programming systems, and programming abstractions.

Events focusing on experimental and theoretical topics are welcome.

Proposals are invited for workshops and other events to be co-located
with POPL 2018. Events can either be sponsored by SIGPLAN
(http://acm.org/sigplan/) or supported through in-cooperation status.

Workshops should be more informal and focused than POPL itself,
include sessions that enable interaction among the workshop
attendees, and be fairly low cost. The preference is for one-day
workshops, but other schedules can also be considered.
