93.0. "SIGPLAN '86 Symposium on Compiler Construction" by GALLO::AMARTIN (Alan H. Martin) Tue Jun 17 1986 15:53

I'm going to the SIGPLAN '86 Symposium on Compiler Construction next week,
as is Al Blackington.  We'll be there for the whole week (tutorials +
paper presentations).  Once again, we are looking forward to bumping into
DEC people, so if you will be going to the conference, why not post
a reply to this note so we can look for each other.

We're departing Logan on Sunday the 22nd, and arriving back on Saturday
the 28th.  We'll be staying at the Hyatt Rickeys hotel.  Send me mail
if you want to match itineraries for some reason.

93.1	sigh	CIM::JONAN	You can't get there from here	`Wed Jun 18 1986 10:41`	9
	I had planned on going, but my division wouldn't sponsor the trip and it would have cost me $1K just to go to the first coulple of days. I couldn't really afford that right now sigh. Anyway, do you know if it is possible to get transcripts of the proceedings and/or copies of the presentations? Thanks, and have a good trip! (jealously yours) /Jon
93.2	Good news/Bad news	GALLO::AMARTIN	Alan H. Martin	`Wed Jun 18 1986 20:28`	13
	SIGPLAN '84's conference proceedings were distributed as an issue of SIGPLAN Notices to all members of SIGPLAN, and I assume it will work the same way this year. They contained complete copies of all papers (except for correction sheets distributed by some nervous logicians). The tutorial notes were pieces of paper bound with those weird stiff interlocking plastic fingers through rectangular holes which allow pages to lay flat and yet rip with no use at all. (I think AAA Triptiks are bound like that). The cover doesn't even have printing on it, it is just thick blue paper with imitation leather texture. I doubt they were assembled with future sales in mind. However, if they can be bought afterwards from ACM or SIGPLAN, I'll take down the ordering information for you. /AHM

	Much appreciated! /Jon
93.4	Good conference; tutorial out of print	GALLO::AMARTIN	Alan H. Martin	`Wed Jul 16 1986 12:34`	11
	Well, SIGPLAN '86 was interesting. There are no printed (or recorded) transcripts of the actual presentations, however a future issue of SIGPLAN Notices will contain all the papers (it is the conference proceedings). The tutorial notes were being sold at the conference to people who were not attending the tutorial (for $10). However, they ran out on Wednesday, and did not intend to print up more copies. Those people who attend Jamie Frankel's compiler course at ZK will get to see the notes. /AHM
