New in PLDI 2009
• External Review Committee (ERC)– 51 members (printed proceedings
are missing names)– Nominated by program
committee as experts in their own areas
– Bid on papers—just like the program committee
• Inspired by ISMM 2008

Paper Submission
• Double blind without compromising paper– Authors could submit TRs etc.
which I forwarded to reviewers as needed
– Authors could reveal their identity in their rebuttal if needed
• Authors indicated conflicts with PC and ERC members

• 196 paper submissions (a record!)
• 3 PC and 1 ERC members reviewed each paper– X reviews: 310– Y reviews: 371– Z reviews: 110
