Lambda the Ultimate

A new ACM conference focused on High-Integrity Language Technology is coming to Boston in Dec. 2012. Keynote speakers at HILT2012 include programming language luminaries Barbara Liskov of MIT, Greg Morrisett of Harvard, and Guy Steele of Oracle Labs. Guy Steele wrote the original two Lambda the Ultimate ... papers, and is the father (or at least the sage uncle) of many important programming languages. Barbara Liskov is of course a recent ACM Turing Award winner, and brought the whole notion of abstraction to modern programming languages, and Greg Morrisett is a pioneer in providing secure programming at the very lowest levels of abstraction. Information on all five of the keynotes, the overall schedule, registration, and accommodations is available at:
