SIGPLAN is the Special
Interest Group of ACM that focuses on Programming
Languages. The group promotes awareness and advancement of research and
practice in programming languages. The SIG serves as a forum for members to
design, present and learn about new programming techniques, languages and
abstractions. This semester we will host a series of tutorials on exciting
programming language topics including Scheme, ML, Maude, and concurrency
issues. Additionally, we will hold regular discussions on programming
language topices of interest to the membership. All parties are welcome to
attend regardless of experience level.
