SAPLING Meetings
----------------

SAPLING meetings are held twice a year to allow programming language
academics, researchers and students to present and discuss their
research in an informal setting. The third meeting will be held at
the Australian National University.

SAPLING talks are generally of 20 minutes duration with substantial
periods of time available for discussion. Talks can present
completed work, outline work in progress, demonstrate a system, or
provide a short tutorial on a topic of general interest.

Submissions for talks should be in the form of an abstract no longer
than one A4 page in plain text, PostScript or PDF format. The
abstract should be emailed to Tony Sloane (asloane AT ics.mq.edu.au)
by close of business on October 15, 2007.

As far as possible, selection of presenters is non-competitive, with
all interested qualified speakers given an opportunity to talk,
within the time constraints of a one day meeting. Preference will be
given to topics of general interest.

No proceedings will be published but the talk abstracts and links to
related material will be published on the SAPLING website. There is
no registration fee to attend this meeting. Participants will be
responsible for their own lunch costs.

Accommodation
-------------

For non-Canberra residents, some accommodation suggestions are
available on the web site for this meeting:
