Time: Wednesday 2:45pm - 4:00pm
Location: Zoom (requires Cornell NetID)
Organizers: Dexter Kozen and Adrian Sampson
Czar: Pedro Amorim and Alexa VanHattum
The Programming Languages Discussion Group meets weekly to discuss papers in the area of programming languages, program analysis, and compilers. The goal is to encourage interactions and discussions between students, researchers, and faculty with interests in this area. The seminar is open to everybody interested in languages and compilers. First-year and second-year graduate students are especially encouraged to participate. Participating students should register for the 1-credit course CS 7190.
Talks will be advertised on the pldg-l@cornell.edu list. To join, send a message to pldg-l-request@cornell.edu with the subject “join” and a blank body.
This semester, PLDG will be entirely virtual, with talks and discussion over Zoom.
