                The annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages is a 
                forum for the discussion of fundamental principles and important 
                innovations in the design, definition, analysis, transformation, 
                implementation and verification of programming languages, 
                programming systems, and programming abstractions. Both 
                experimental and theoretical papers on principles and 
                innovations are welcome, ranging from formal frameworks to 
                reports on practical experiences.
 Submissions on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly 
                ones that identify new research directions. POPL 2005 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.
 
 The conference will be held  at the
    Hyatt Regency 
    in Long Beach, California, right next to the marina, with a view of
    Queen Mary, the ocean liner which now 
    serves as a historic attraction.  More information about the conference 
    venue can be found here.
