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

SAPLING meetings allow programming language academics, researchers, industry practitioners and students to present and discuss their research and experiences in an informal setting.

Previous meetings were held at University of New South Wales (2006, 2010), Macquarie University (2007, 2013), Australian National University (2007, 2012), University of Sydney (2009, 2015), University of Technology, Sydney (2011), and Oracle Labs, Brisbane (2014).

The 2016 SAPLING meeting will be held at the Australian National University in Canberra.

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 (Anthony.Sloane AT mq.edu.au) by close of business on October 24, 2015.

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.

Travel Funding from Oracle Labs, Australia
------------------------------------------

A limited amount of travel support is available for students from outside Canberra, thanks to financial support from Oracle Labs, Australia. Students requesting travel support must submit a brief justification to Tony Sloane (Anthony.Sloane AT mq.edu.au) by close of business on October 24, 2016.

Travel support will only be available for students from Australia and New Zealand. Funds are limited and we will give priority to students likely to benefit most from attending the meeting, i.e. students whose research is most aligned with the topic. Support will not exceed the cheapest airfare or train fare from the nearest major airport/train fare to Canberra.
