[Loris D'Antoni]

Please help us forward the following call for papers to the relevant
mailing lists and groups.

POPL 2022 Call for Papers (https://popl22.sigplan.org/)

PACMPL Issue POPL 2022 seeks contributions on all aspects
of programming languages and programming systems, both
theoretical and practical. Authors of papers published in
PACMPL Issue POPL 2022 will be invited to present their work
in the POPL conference in January 2022, which is sponsored by
ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGACT and ACM SIGLOG.

# Scope

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.

# Evaluation Criteria

The Review 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 must
explain its scientific contribution in both general and technical
terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is
significant, and comparing it with previous work. 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. A
response must be concise, addressing specific points raised in review;
in particular, it must not introduce new technical results. Reviewers
will write a short reaction to these author responses. The Review
Committee will discuss papers entirely electronically rather than at a
physical meeting. This will avoid the time, cost,
and environmental impact of transporting an increasingly large
committee to one point on the globe. There is no formal External
Review Committee, though experts outside the committee will be
consulted. Reviews will be accompanied by a short summary of the
reasons behind the committee's decision with the goal of clarifying
the reasons behind the decision.

For additional information about the reviewing process, see:

  - Principles of POPL: a presentation of the underlying
    organizational and reviewing policies for POPL

  - Frequently asked questions about the reviewing and submission
    process, especially double-blind reviewing.

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 Review 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 Review Committee by the
requested deadline or risk rejection.

# Submission Guidelines

The following two points are easy to overlook:

  - Conflicts: Each author of a submission has to log into the
    submission system and properly declare all potential conflicts of
    interest in the author profile form. A conflict caught late in the
    reviewing process leads to a voided review which may be infeasible
    to replace.

  - Anonymity: POPL 2022 will employ a lightweight double-blind
    reviewing process. Make sure that your submitted paper is fully
    anonymized.

Prior to the paper submission deadline, the authors will upload their
full anonymized paper. Each paper should have no more than 25 pages of
text, excluding bibliography, using the new ACM Proceedings
format.

# 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.

# Copyright, Publication, and Presentation

As a Gold Open Access journal, PACMPL is committed to making
peer-reviewed scientific research free of restrictions on both
access and (re-)use. Authors are strongly encouraged to support
libre open access by licensing their work with the Creative
Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY) license,
which grants readers liberal (re-)use rights.

Authors of accepted papers will be required to choose one of
the following publication rights:

  - Author licenses the work with a Creative Commons license,
    retains copyright, and (implicitly) grants ACM non-exclusive
    permission to publish (suggested choice).
  - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM
    a non-exclusive permission to publish license.
  - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an
    exclusive permission to publish license.
  - Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM.

These choices follow from ACM Copyright Policy and ACM Author
Rights, corresponding to ACM's "author pays" option. While
PACMPL may ask authors who have funding for open-access fees
to voluntarily cover the article processing charge (currently, US$400),
payment is not required for publication. PACMPL and SIGPLAN
continue to explore the best models for funding open access,
focusing on approaches that are sustainable in the long-term
while reducing short-term risk.

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
Review 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.
