[TYPES/announce] Off the Beaten Track at POPL 2019 - Call for Talk Proposals

[Michael Greenberg]

Hi Friends,

Off the Beaten Track is a workshop at POPL 2019:

https://popl19.sigplan.org/track/OBT-2019-papers#Call-for-Talk-Proposals

Programming language researchers have the principles, tools, algorithms 
and abstractions to solve all kinds of problems, in all areas of 
computer science. However, identifying and evaluating new problems, 
particularly those that lie outside the typical core PL problems we all 
know and love, can be a significant challenge. This workshop’s goal is 
to identify and discuss problems that do not often show up in our top 
conferences, but where programming language research can make a 
substantial impact. We hope fora like this will increase the diversity 
of problems that are studied by PL researchers and thus increase our 
community’s impact on the world.

While many workshops associated with POPL have become more like 
mini-conferences themselves, this is an anti-goal for OBT. The workshop 
will be informal and structured to encourage discussion. We are at least 
as interested in problems as in solutions.

The workshop will be held the day after POPL: Saturday, January 19th, 2019.

Submissions are 2 pages - that's one per week between now and the deadline.

Cheers!
