ACM annual conference series on programming language theory
TheProgramming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI ) conference is an annualcomputer science conference organized by theAssociation for Computing Machinery (ACM) which focuses on the study of algorithms,programming languages andcompilers . It is sponsored by theSIGPLAN special interest group on programming languages.
In 2003, the conference was given an estimated impact factor of 2.89 byCiteSeer , placing it in the top 1% of computer science conferences.[ 1]
The precursor of PLDI was the Symposium on Compiler Optimization, held July 27–28, 1970 at theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and chaired by Robert S. Northcote. That conference included papers byFrances E. Allen ,John Cocke ,Alfred V. Aho ,Ravi Sethi , andJeffrey D. Ullman . The first conference in the current PLDI series took place in 1979 under the nameSIGPLAN Symposium on Compiler Construction inDenver, Colorado . The next compiler construction conference took place in 1982 inBoston, Massachusetts . The compiler construction conferences then alternated with SIGPLAN Conferences on Language Issues until 1988, when the conference was renamed to PLDI. From 1982 until 2001, the conference acronym was SIGPLAN 'xx. Starting in 2002, the initialism became PLDI 'xx, and in 2006 it became PLDI xxxx.
