Fall 2025 Reading Group

Augusta University Programming Languages (PL) Reading Group is a regular meeting to discuss exciting recent results in programming languages research. The intent of the group is to learn about various ideas and generally broaden perspectives on PL research topics. We randomly select papers from the major PL conferences. At the end of the semester we gather for a lively discussion to give prestigious awards to select papers.

We meet weekly on Fridays at 2–3 pm in UH 227 (Summerville).

We encourage everyone to join our reading group. Even if your primary focus is not PL, this is a chance to learn about various new topics that may become relevant to you later. It is also simply fun to hang out with us.

The PL Reading Group is a regular meeting of ΔΛΔ student organization.
