# Call for Participation: Off the Beaten Track 2017
http://conf.researchr.org/track/POPL-2017/OBT-2017
21st January 2017
(co-located with POPL 2017, Paris, France)
## Registration
http://popl17.sigplan.org/attending/registration
** Early registration deadline: Saturday 17th Dec 2016 **
## Invited Speakers
- Moa Johansson, Chalmers, Sweden
- Alan Blackwell, Cambridge University, UK
## Background
Programming language researchers have the principles, tools,
algorithms and abstractions to solve all kinds of problems, in all
areas of computer science. However, identifying and evaluating new
problems, particularly those that lie outside the typical core PL
problems we all know and love, can be a significant challenge. This
workshop’s goal is to identify and discuss problems that do not often
show up in our top conferences, but where programming language
research can make a substantial impact. We hope fora like this will
increase the diversity of problems that are studied by PL researchers
and thus increase our community’s impact on the world.
While many workshops associated with POPL have become more like
mini-conferences themselves, this is an anti-goal for OBT. The
workshop will be informal and structured to encourage discussion. We
are at least as interested in problems as in solutions.
