The 16th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems (APLAS) 
aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a forum for 
the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas in 
programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia but is an 
international forum that serves the worldwide programming languages 
community. APLAS 2018 will be held in Wellington, New Zealand on the 2nd 
– 7th December 2018.

APLAS 2018 will include a poster session during the conference. The 
poster session aims to give students, researchers and professionals an 
opportunity to present technical materials to the research community, 
and to get responses from other researchers in the field.
Scope

Poster contributions are sought in all areas of programming languages 
and systems, including the following topics:

     Semantics, logics, foundational theory
     Design of languages, type systems, and foundational calculi
     Domain-specific languages
     Compilers, interpreters, abstract machines
     Program derivation, synthesis, and transformation
     Program analysis, verification, model-checking
     Logic, constraint, probabilistic, and quantum programming
     Software security
     Concurrency and parallelism
     Tools and environments for programming and implementation

Submission
----------
Each presenter should submit an extended abstract of no longer than two 
8.5×11 inch pages in PDF by email to aplas2018 at ecs.vuw.ac.nz with 
subject “SUBMISSION FOR APLAS2018”.  Each submission will be 
acknowledged by reply email. NOTE: submissions to the Student Research 
Competition (SRC) below should be indicated clearly in the message body.

The submission should include the title and the complete list of 
author(s) and affiliation(s). Your abstract should contain a brief 
description of your problem, the key contributions of your work, how 
your work compares to prior research, and any results from evaluation. 
You can use ACM template to format your submission, and the ACM template 
link is here: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

We hope to accommodate every presentation, but may restrict them (based 
on relevance and interest to the community) due to space constraints.

Student Research Competition (SRC)
======================================================================
See: http://aplas2018.org/student-research-competition-src/

This year APLAS will host a Student Research Competition where students 
can present posters. The Competition consists of three rounds:

* Extended Abstract: Participants submit an extended abstract outlining 
their research results. Please follow the submission requirements of 
posters above.

* Poster Session: Based on the abstracts, a panel of judges will select 
the most promising entrants to participate in the poster session at 
APLAS. In the poster session, students will have the opportunity to 
present their work to the judges, who will select three finalists to 
advance to the next round.

* Presentation: The last round will consist of a short oral presentation 
at APLAS to compete for the final award.

Note: The student research competition is NOT a part of ACM SRC; The 
student participant must be the first author or the only author of the 
submission.
