TLDI 2012


The Seventh ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on

Types in Language Design and Implementation

 


Philadelphia, PA, USA

Saturday, January 28, 2012


To be held in conjunction with POPL 2012

 

 


Welcome to TLDI 2012

The role of types and proofs in all aspects of language design, compiler construction, and software development has expanded greatly in recent years. Type systems, type analyses, and formal deduction have led to new concepts in compilation techniques for modern programming languages, verification of safety and security properties of programs, program transformation and optimization, and many other areas. In light of this expanding role of types, the Seventh ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Types in Language Design and Implementation (TLDI 2012) aims to bring together researchers from around the globe to share exciting new ideas and results in this area. This year's workshop is the tenth in a series of international workshops, originating in 1997 as the Workshop on Types in Compilation (TIC).

Important: This year we are introducing a significant change to the workshop organization. There will now be two distinct submission categories: full papers (with a published proceedings, as always) and 2-page proposals for talks on more speculative or unfinished work. The aim is to foster a more informal atmosphere while maintaining the TLDI tradition of excellent presentations of polished technical work.
