Welcome from the SPLASH General Chair

摘要

Welcome to Tucson, Arizona and the 2012 Systems, Programming, Languages, Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) conference! This is the third annual SPLASH conference. SPLASH is an umbrella conference containing OOPSLA, Onward!, and Wavefront. This year we also have the Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) and Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP) co-located with us. The SPLASH conference grew out of OOPSLA, which started in 1986 and eventually grew to a SPLASH-like set of conferences (including Onward!) in 2009. Thus 2012 can be considered the 27th year of this great tradition.
