APLAS aims at stimulating programming language research by providing a forum for the presentation of recent results and the exchange of ideas and experience in topics concerned with programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but is an international forum that serves the worldwide programming languages community.

The APLAS series is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software (AAFS), which has been founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many researchers from Europe and the USA. The past formal APLAS symposiums were successfully held in Sydney (2006, Australia), Tsukuba (2005, Japan), Taipei (2004, Taiwan), and Beijing (2003,China), after three informal workshops held in Shanghai (2002, China), Daejeon (2001, Korea), and Singapore (2000). Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer-Verlag's LNCS 2895, 3302, 3780, and 4279.

The symposium is devoted to all topics ranging from foundational to practical issues in programming languages and systems. Submissions are solicited from, but not limited to, the following topics:

• semantics, logics, foundational theory
• type systems, language design
• program analysis, optimization, transformation
• software security, safety, verification
• compiler systems, interpreters, abstract machines
• domain-specific languages and systems
• programming tools and environments

Submitted papers are judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. The proceedings of the symposium will be published as a volume in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

APLAS'07 will be held at Kent Ridge Guild House, National University of Singapore.
