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.
The committee considers nominated papers 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 a SIGPLAN conference. Authors may not nominate their own papers.
Nominations can be made at this website.
As of July 2020, 58 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.
