The POPL (Principles of Programming Languages) conference is an annual 
symposium sponsored jointly by ACM SIGPLAN and ACM SIGACT. It is usually 
attended by about 300 people, including many of the movers and shakers in
the Programming Languages world.

For a number of years now, the papers submitted to POPL have come from
pretty much the same old places, and to a certain extent the same old people.

As program chairman, I am quite eager to get papers from new places, by new
people. There must be a lot of good work going on out there that involves
the principles of programming languages, and I would like to see to it that
the academic community, the so-called "mainstream" programming languages
community, finds out about it.

If you have been working on an innovative system whose design or use 
embodies principles of programming languages, then please think about
submitting a paper to our conference. It is important that your paper be
written in appropriate scholarly style, with appropriate citations to
prior work, for it to be taken seriously by the program committee. It
is not enough to have good work: you must also write a good paper about it.
