The Midwest Programming Languages Summit (MWPLS) is an informal workshop series that aims to run annually with the objective of fostering the exchange of ideas and promoting collaboration among faculty and students in the Greater Midwest area. The intended audience is anyone interested in programming languages and compilers and their application in areas such as systems, software engineering, and human-computer interaction. The workshop typically features a selection of talks and posters about ongoing research on topics that are of broad interest to the programming languages community. There are no formal proceedings, but abstracts and slides are usually distributed on the web after the workshop.
The workshop is hosted each year by one of the universities in the midwest whose faculty have an interest and representation in the programming languages area. Links to the websites of some of the recent MWPLS workshops are provided below:
