# Scope

The annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages is a forum for
the
discussion of all aspects of programming languages and programming systems.
Both
theoretical and experimental papers are welcome, on topics ranging from
formal
frameworks to experience reports. We seek submissions that make principled,
enduring contributions to the theory, design, understanding, implementation
or
application of programming languages. The symposium is sponsored by ACM
SIGPLAN,
in cooperation with ACM SIGACT and ACM SIGLOG.

# Evaluation criteria

The Program Committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each
submission as well as its accessibility to both experts and the general POPL
audience. All papers will be judged on significance, originality, relevance,
correctness, and clarity. Each paper should explain its contributions in
both
general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished,
explaining
why it is significant, and comparing it with previous work. Authors should
strive to make their papers understandable to a broad audience. Advice on
writing technical papers can be found on the SIGPLAN author information
page.

# Evaluation process

Authors will have a multi-day period to respond to reviews, as indicated in
the
Important Dates table. Responses are optional. They must not be overly long
and
should not try to introduce new technical results. Reviewers will write a
short
reaction to these author responses. Following the precedent set by POPL
2018,
the program committee will discuss papers entirely electronically rather
than at
a physical programming committee meeting. This will avoid the time, cost and
environmental impact of transporting an increasingly large committee to one
point on the globe. Unlike in recent years, there will be no formal External
Review Committee, though experts outside the committee will be consulted
when
their expertise is needed. Reviews will be accompanied by a short summary
of the
reasons behind the committee’s decision. It is the goal of the program
committee
to make it clear to the authors why each paper was or was not accepted.

# Artifact Evaluation

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to formally submit supporting
materials to the Artifact Evaluation process. Artifact Evaluation is run by
a
separate committee whose task is to assess how the artifacts support the
work
described in the papers. This submission is voluntary and will not
influence the
final decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact
Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of approval printed on
the
papers themselves. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make these
materials publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by
including
them as “source materials” in the ACM Digital Library.

# PACMPL and Copyright

All papers accepted to POPL 2020 will be published as part of the new ACM
journal Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages (PACMPL). To conform
with ACM requirements for journal publication, all POPL papers will be
conditionally accepted; authors will be required to submit a short
description
of the changes made to the final version of the paper, including how the
changes
address any requirements imposed by the program committee. That the changes
are
sufficient will be confirmed by the original reviewers prior to acceptance
to
POPL. Authors of conditionally accepted papers must submit a satisfactory
revision to the program committee by the requested deadline or risk
rejection.

# Publication and Presentation

Papers may not be presented at the conference if they have not been
published by ACM under one of the allowed copyright options. All
papers will be archived by the ACM Digital Library. Authors will have
the option of including supplementary material with their paper.

The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made
available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks
prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication
date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published
work.

Authors of accepted papers are required to give a short talk (roughly
25 minutes long) at the conference, according to the conference
schedule.

# Distinguished Paper Awards

At most 10% of the accepted papers of POPL 2022 will be designated as
Distinguished Papers. This award highlights papers that the POPL program
committee thinks should be read by a broad audience due to their relevance,
originality, significance and clarity. The selection of the distinguished
papers
will be made based on the final version of the paper and through a second
review
process.
