Scope
The annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages is a forum
for the discussion of all aspects of programming languages and
systems, with emphasis on how principles underpin practice. Both
theoretical and experimental papers are welcome, on topics ranging
from formal frameworks to experience reports.
Submissions on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly ones
that identify new research directions. POPL 2008 is not limited to
topics discussed in previous symposia. Authors concerned about the
appropriateness of a topic may communicate by electronic mail with the
program chair prior to submission.
Pearls and Advice to Authors
Explaining a known idea in a new way may make as strong a contribution
as inventing a new idea. We encourage the submission of pearls:
elegant essays which illustrate an idea, often by developing a short
program. There is no formal separation of categories, but a pearl
should be labelled as such in its abstract. All papers, whether pearl
or otherwise, will be judged on their correctness, significance,
novelty, clarity, elegance, and beauty.
Pearls have long been an accepted form of submission for the Journal
of Functional Programming (JFP) and the International Conference on
Functional Programming (ICFP). Advice on writing pearls can be
found in the ICFP 2006 Call for Papers:
http://icfp06.cs.uchicago.edu/icfp06-cfp.html
Each paper, pearl or otherwise, 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:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm
Unlike in 2007, there are no special categories of short and long
submissions.

file and template, are available on the SIGPLAN Author Information
page:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm
You need not include categories or keywords in the submission, though
you are welcome to do so. The ACM copyright notice is not required of
submissions, only of accepted papers.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format and printable on
US Letter size paper. Individuals for which this requirement is a
hardship should contact the program chair at least one week before the
deadline.
Submitted papers must adhere to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy:
http://acm.org/sigplan/republicationpolicy.htm

respond to the reviews of their papers before the PC meeting. Details
of the response process will be announced by e-mail a few days
beforehand.
Student Attendees
Students who have a paper accepted for the conference are offered
student membership of SIGPLAN free for one year. As members of
