PROLANGS Reading Group

PROLANGS holds a regular reading group to discuss research papers on programming language related topics. It's usually held on Thursdays at 3:00pm in CoRE B, and is open to all interested parties. The only rule is that all regular attendees will be called upon to present a paper at some point. Contact Ramkrishna Chatterjee for more details.

Directions

The reading group meetings are held in meeting room B, 3rd floor, of the Computing Research and Education (CoRE) building on Rutgers' Busch campus.

From Rt-18 N: Follow Rt-18 until it crosses the river, ignoring many tempting signs leading you to different parts of Rutgers. Rt-18 ends when you cross the river. Go straight through the lights, finding yourself on Metlars lane. Take the 2nd left onto Brett Rd. Follow Brett Rd to the end where it turns into a lot of parking lots cowering beneath a foreboding, large brown building, which is the CoRE building.

From Rt-1: Rt-18 crosses Rt-1, and is reasonably well signposted. From Rt-1 N you want the jug-handle turn immediately after going underneath the Rt-18 overpass (to end up making a left turn). From Rt-1 S, it's a right turn.

From the NJ Turnpike: Rutgers/New Brunswick is at exit 9 of the turnpike. This deposits you on Rt-18 N.

Parking

Park in any of the lots in the vicinity of the CoRE building. Parking requires a permit. Temporary permits are available from the department. Come up to the 3rd floor and find a PROLANGS person, or see Maureen Mayer in room 318 to get one, and then put it in your car.
