PLDI 2015
PLDI 2015 is the 36th annual ACM SIGPLAN conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation.
The full PLDI 2015 proceedings are freely available at http://sigplan.org/OpenTOC/pldi16.html.
PLDI is a premier forum for all areas of programming language research, including the design, implementation, theory, and efficient use of languages. PLDI’s emphases include innovative and creative approaches to compile-time and runtime technology, novel language designs and features, and results from implementations.
PLDI 2015 is part of FCRC 2015, a spectrum of affiliated research conferences and workshops organized into a week long coordinated meeting that will be held June 12-20, 2015 in Portland Oregon.
