Lightweight Languages 2003 (LL3)

Nov. 8, 2003
MIT, Cambridge MA


Call for Presentations

LL3 will be an intense, exciting, one-day forum bringing together the best programming language implementors and researchers, from both academia and industry, to exchange ideas and information, to challenge one another, and to learn from one another.

The workshop series focuses on programming languages, tools, and processes that are usable and useful. Lightweight languages have been an effective vehicle for introducing new features to mainstream programmers.

We encourage presentations on topics of interest to the community of lightweight language users and designers. We prefer topics that will interest a broad audience. We do not require the presentation of novel research ideas.

Proposal Abstracts

Due Friday Oct. 17

We solicit abstracts of talks to be given at the workshop. Go for it -- convince us. Talks will be 30 minutes long, including time for questions and answers. Presenters are not expected to submit papers, but slides will be published on the workshop web site. We will also consider proposals for talks of different lengths.

Some suggested topics are:

Send submissions to: ll3-submit@ai.mit.edu

We want presentations that will inspire, motivate, and educate. We want language implementors and researchers to leave the workshop fired up with ideas for future languages, features, and implementation tricks. We want language users to leave the workshop fired up with new ideas and new tools.

In addition to submitted presentations, there will be two invited talks. After the workshop, there will be an evening social event and dinner.
