CALL FOR PAPERS
The Fifth ASIAN Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems(APLAS 2007)
Singapore, November 29 - December 1, 2007
http://flint.cs.yale.edu/aplas2007/
APLAS aims at stimulating programming language research by providing a forum for the presentation of recent results and theexchange of ideas and experience in topics concerned with programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but isan international forum that serves the worldwide programming languages community. The APLAS series is sponsored by the Asian
Association for Foundation of Software (AAFS), which has recently been founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many
researchers from Europe and the USA. The past formal APLAS symposiums were successfully held in Sydney (2006, Australia),Tsukuba (2005, Japan), Taipei (2004, Taiwan) and Beijing (2003, China) after three informal workshops held in Shanghai (2002, China),Daejeon (2001, Korea) and Singapore (2000). Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer-Verlag’s LNCS 2895,3302, 3780, and 4279.
TOPICS The symposium is devoted to both foundational and practical issues in programming languages and systems. Papers aresolicited on, but not limited, to the following topics:- semantics, logics, foundational theory- program analysis, optimization, transformation- compiler systems, interpreters, abstract machines- programming tools and environments- type systems, language design- software security, safety, verification- domain-specific languages and systems

Original results that bear on these and related topics are solicited. Papers investigating novel uses and applications of language systems
are especially encouraged. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are welcome to consult with the program chair(aplas2007@easychair.org) prior to submission.
