Since 2008, SIGPLAN has selected papers from its sponsored conferences that are of high quality and broad appeal. These papers, called SIGPLAN Research Highlights, are selected by a committee representing SIGPLAN’s major conferences and elected officials. These papers are also recommended for consideration for the CACM Research Highlights section.
As of September 2021, 62 papers have been recognized by the SIGPLAN Research Highlights committee, and 34 SIGPLAN papers have been selected to appear as CACM Research Highlights. This webpage contains the full list of papers.
The committee considers papers published in POPL, PLDI, ICFP, OOPSLA, ASPLOS, and PPoPP, nominated from two sources:
Committee: The SIGPLAN Research Highlights Committee, working closely with the program chairs from the conferences they represent, will review and nominate papers from the conferences listed above for consideration by the full committee.
Community: Any SIGPLAN member may nominate a paper appearing in one of six flagship SIGPLAN conferences (from the list above) by following the guidelines for the respective Call for Nominations (see below). Authors may not nominate their own papers.
SIGPLAN members are invited to submit nominations for the papers published in 2021-2023 via this form. The deadline for the nominations is 21 November 2024 AoE.
