The POPL (Principles of Programming Languages) conference is an annual symposium sponsored jointly by ACM SIGPLAN and ACM SIGACT. It is usually attended by about 300 people, including many of the movers and shakers in the Programming Languages world. For a number of years now, the papers submitted to POPL have come from pretty much the same old places, and to a certain extent the same old people. As program chairman, I am quite eager to get papers from new places, by new people. There must be a lot of good work going on out there that involves the principles of programming languages, and I would like to see to it that the academic community, the so-called "mainstream" programming languages community, finds out about it. If you have been working on an innovative system whose design or use embodies principles of programming languages, then please think about submitting a paper to our conference. It is important that your paper be written in appropriate scholarly style, with appropriate citations to prior work, for it to be taken seriously by the program committee. It is not enough to have good work: you must also write a good paper about it. Brian Reid Stanford University ..decwrl!glacier!reid

It's really nice to see a "call for papers" for a conferences that specifies typesetting instructions. The instructions for some conferences still seem to blithely assume that everyone is going to use a typewriter.
