CS 295: UCI Programming Languages Seminar

Fall, 2011(Tuesday 5:00-7:00pm, CS 432)

Co-instructors: Michael Franz (CS), Brian Demsky (EECS), and Harry Xu (CS)

Brief Introduction:

This is a paper reading class co-taught by the three programming languages professors at UCI. We welcome all students
interested in doing research on programming languages and software systems to join the class. The schedule for this
class is on a per-quarter-basis. For the current (Fall 2011) quarter, we will be reading and discussing some of the best
papers in the 20 years of PLDI. Please email any one of us if you have a question.

Announcement:

Starting from 10/11, we will meet at CS 432 instead of Bren 1422.

Note: ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI) is a flagship
conference in the area of programming languages and software systems, and is actually one of the best conferences
in all computer science disciplines.
