ScopeWe proudly announce the CRA-W/CDC SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop. The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to encourage senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students to pursue careers in programming language research. We are specifically interested in attracting women and underrepresented minority students. This workshop will be a combination of learning about the work being done in several areas of programming language research and mentoring with respect to helping students prepare for graduate school and the rest of their career. We will bring together leaders in programming language research from academia and industry to give talks on the kind of research typically performed after obtaining a Ph.D. The workshop will engage students, specifically interested in programming language research, in a process of imagining how they might contribute to the world.
Travel GrantsThe workshop will occur immediately before POPL, the premier conference on the Principles of Programming Languages. There will be a small registration fee to attend the workshop. However, through the generous donation of our sponsors, we have a number of travel scholarships available that will cover reasonable travel expenses (airfare, hotel and registration fees) for students to attend both the workshop and POPL. Anyone may apply for a travel scholarship, but first priority will be given to women and underrepresented minority applicants. Applications must have been received by Friday, December 2, 2011 for full consideration. Given the large number of applications already received, we regret that we cannot consider any additional applications at this time.Student authors of papers appearing at POPL 2012 or any of its associated workshops should apply for travel assistance from the SIGPLAN PAC fund. Workshop ScheduleOur effort is inspired and modeled on two previous well-received summer schools, the Programming Language Summer School held at The University of Texas at Austin and the Systems Research Mentoring Workshop held at the University of Delaware, both sponsored by CRA-W and CDC.This academic mentoring workshop will be divided into talks and panels. The talks will cover hot topics and future directions in several areas of programming language theory, such as type systems,verification, programming analysis, model checking, logic and language design. The panels will cover practical topics about starting a research career, including the job search process, time management, and proposal writing.
