1st CFP: SLE 2016 (9th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering)
by Andrei Chis April 26, 2016

April 26, 2016

**Call for Papers** ======================================================================== 9th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2016) Oct 31-Nov 1, 2016, Amsterdam, Netherlands (Co-located with SPLASH 2016) General chair: Tijs van der Storm, CWI, Netherlands Program co-chairs: Dániel Varro, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Emilie Balland, Sensational AG, Switzerland http://conf.researchr.org/track/sle-2016/sle-2016-papers http://www.sleconf.org/2016/ Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/sleconf ======================================================================== Software Language Engineering (SLE) is the application of systematic, disciplined, and measurable approaches to the development, use, deployment, and maintenance of software languages. The term "software language" is used broadly, and includes: general-purpose programming languages; domain-specific languages (e.g. BPMN, Simulink, Modelica); modeling and metamodeling languages (e.g. SysML and UML); data models and ontologies (e.g. XML-based and OWL-based languages and vocabularies). ### Important Dates Fri 17 Jun 2016 - Abstract Submission Fri 24 Jun 2016 - Paper Submission Fri 26 Aug 2016 - Notification Fri 2 Sep 2016 - Artifact submission Fri 16 Sep 2016 - Artifact notification Fri 16 Sep 2016 - Camera ready deadline Mon 31 Oct 09:00 - Tue 1 Nov 18:00 2016 Conference ### Topics of Interest SLE aims to be broad-minded and inclusive about relevance and scope. We solicit high-quality contributions in areas ranging from theoretical and conceptual contributions to tools, techniques, and frameworks in the domain of language engineering. Topics relevant to SLE cover generic aspects of software languages development rather than aspects of engineering a specific language. In particular, SLE is interested in principled engineering approaches and techniques in the following areas: * Language Design and Implementation * Approaches and methodologies for language design * Static semantics (e.g., design rules, well-formedness constraints) * Techniques for behavioral / executable semantics * Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation) * Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches * Language Validation * Verification and formal methods for languages * Testing techniques for languages * Simulation techniques for languages * Language Integration * Coordination between of heterogeneous languages and tools * Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages) * Traceability between languages * Deployment of languages to different platforms * Language Maintenance * Software language reuse * Language evolution * Language families and variability * Domain-specific approaches for any aspects of SLE (design, implementation, validation, maintenance) * Empirical evaluation and experience reports of language engineering tools * User studies evaluating usability * Performance benchmarks * Industrial applications ### Types of Submissions * **Research papers**: These should report a substantial research contribution to SLE or successful application of SLE techniques or both. Full paper submissions must not exceed 12 pages excluding bibliography (in ACM SIGPLAN conference style (http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/)) * **Tool papers**: Because of SLE’s interest in tools, we seek papers that present software tools related to the field of SLE. Selection criteria include originality of the tool, its innovative aspects, and relevance to SLE. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions must provide a tool description of 4 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (see above), with 1 optional additional page for bibliographic references, and a demonstration outline including screenshots of up to 4 pages. Tool demonstrations must have the keywords "Tool Demo" or “Tool Demonstration” in the title. The 4-page tool description will, if the demonstration is accepted, be published in the proceedings. The 4-page demonstration outline will be used by the program committee only for evaluating the submission. ### Artifact evaluation Authors of accepted papers at SLE 2016 are encouraged to submit their experiment results used for underpinning research statements to an artifact evaluation process carried out in early September 2016. This submission is voluntary and will not influence the final decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully receive a seal of approval printed on the first page of the paper in the proceedings. Authors of papers with accepted artifacts are encouraged to make these materials publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by including them as "source materials" in the ACM Digital Library. ### Publications All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. All accepted papers, including tool papers will be published in ACM Digital Library. Authors of distinguished papers from the conference will be invited to revise and submit extended versions of their papers for a Journal special issue. ### Awards * Distinguished paper. Award for most notable paper, as determined by the PC chairs based on the recommendations of the program committee. * Distinguished reviewer. Award for distinguished reviewer, as determined by the PC chairs using feedback from the authors. ### Program Committee Emilie Balland (co-chair), Sensational AG (SUI) Daniel Varro (co-chair), BME (HUN) Anya Helene Bagge, Univ.

Smalltalker looking for work in Germany
by Josh Fridstrom April 13, 2016

April 13, 2016

Hello all, My name is Josh Fridstrom and I will be moving to Schleswig-Holstein, Germany from the United States later in the summer. My wife recently accepted a job as an English teaching assistant and we are excited for the opportunity to move to Europe. Our move dates are flexible so we can move earlier if necessary, but right now we were thinking of moving in mid-August. I have attached my CV for more information, but here is the quick plug: I currently work at Amazon Web Services in Seattle, Washington. Unfortunately, I don’t use Smalltalk at work, I use mostly Java. I have contributed, over the last three years, to a modular Smalltalk implementation called Modtalk. We have presented at Smalltalks 2014 in Córdoba, XP 2015 in Helsinki, and we plan to present this year at ESUG. Although Modtalk is built completely from scratch, we have written a great number of tools in Pharo including the compiler and the IDE. I have studied German for a number of years and have earned a certificate from an accredited university demonstrating my intermediate skills. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or if you just want to introduce yourself. Thanks! I look forward to meeting some of you at ESUG this year, Josh Fridstrom josh(a)modtalk.org

[ann] pharo consortium membership matching campaign
by Tudor Girba March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

Hi, The Pharo Board is proud to announce a special campaign for attracting new Pharo Consortium members during 2016: http://consortium.pharo.org/web/Membership A new fund has been created from which the Consortium will receive the equivalent of one yearly membership fee for every new member, and the increment in yearly fees for every upgrading member. For example, if a new company joins the Consortium as a Silver member (2000 EUR / year), the fund will contribute a one-time amount of 2000 EUR to the Consortium. Similarly, if a company upgrades from Bronze (1000 EUR / year) to Gold (4000 EUR / year), the fund will contribute a one-time amount of 3000 EUR. This campaign will take place until the end of 2016, or until the fund is depleted. Currently, the fund totals 21000 EUR, a sum which is graciously supported by three companies: - LabWare Inc (http://labware.com) - ObjectProfile (http://objectprofile.com) - feenk gmbh (http://feenk.com) This is an exciting development that paves the way to attract more industrial interest around Pharo. Please help us by spreading the word about this campaign. Cheers, The Pharo Board

Stack Overflow developer survey is now open! - action requested
by Thomas, Arden March 17, 2016

March 17, 2016

Dear Cincom Smalltalkers, Smalltalkers; Last year at ESUG I noted that Smalltalk was not represented as a language on the Stack Overflow developer survey. Smalltalk is a powerful language that is still unsurpassed in many ways. A new generation of developers may have never heard of it! I made it an action item to notify Smalltalk developers, customers and community, when the survey was open, so we could collectively address this oversight. The Stack Overflow developer survey is now open! Question #9 & #10 on the second page asks about what language you use or want to use. I filled in "Smalltalk". Later on it asks which environment you work in. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/so-2016 NOTE: Please fill-out as soon as possible as the survey will only be open for a short time and could close imminently. https://www.facebook.com/cincomsmalltalk/posts/10153340529408365?comment_id… Regards Arden Thomas Cincom Smalltalk Product Manager Arden Thomas Cincom Smalltalk STAR Team and Cincom Smalltalk Product Manager [http://internal.cincom.com/signature/logo.png]<http://www.cincom.smalltalk.com/> CINCOM SYSTEMS, INC. 55 Merchant Street Cincinnati, OH 45246 [http://internal.cincom.com/signature/twitter2.png]<https://twitter.com/cincom> [http://internal.cincom.com/signature/linkedin2.png] <https://www.linkedin.com/company/cincom-systems> [http://internal.cincom.com/signature/youtube2.png] <https://www.youtube.com/user/CincomVideo> [http://internal.cincom.com/signature/rss2.png] <http://www.cincom.com/blog/feed/> office website email 513-612-2300 http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com athomas(a)cincom.com Less is More --- CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT --- This e-mail transmission contains information that is intended to be privileged and confidential.

Workshop on Context-oriented Programming (COP) 2016 at ECOOP | Call for Papers
by Robert Hirschfeld March 11, 2016

March 11, 2016

Call for Papers *** Workshop on Context-oriented Programming (COP) 2016 *** July 19 (Tue), 2016 Co-located with ECOOP 2016 in Rome http://2016.ecoop.org/track/COP-2016 === Introduction === Context information plays an increasingly important role in our information-centric world. Software systems must adapt to changing contexts over time, and must change even while they are running. Unfortunately, mainstream programming languages and development environments do not support this kind of dynamic change very well, leading developers to implementing complex designs to anticipate various dimensions of variability. Context-oriented Programming (COP) directly supports variability depending on a wide range of dynamic attributes. In effect, it should be possible to dispatch run-time behavior on any property of the execution context. By now, several researchers have been working on notions approaching that idea, and implementations ranging from first prototypes to mature platform extensions used in commercial deployments have illustrated how multidimensional dispatch can indeed be supported effectively to achieve expressive run-time variation in behavior. === Topics === The previous editions of this workshop (ECOOP 2009–2015) have shown to be well-received. The goal of the 8th Workshop on Context-oriented Programming (COP-16) is to further establish context orientation as a common thread to language design, application development, and system support. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Interesting application domains and scenarios - Programming language abstractions for Context-oriented Programming (e.g. dynamic scoping, roles, traits, prototype-based extensions) - Theoretical foundations for Context-oriented Programming (e.g. semantics, type systems) - Configuration languages (e.g. feature description interpreters, transformational approaches) - Interaction between non-functional programming concerns and Context-oriented Programming (e.g. security, persistence, concurrency, distribution). - Interaction with other paradigms: event-based and reactive programming, object-oriented programming. - Modularization approaches for Context-oriented Programming (e.g. aspects, modules, layers, plugins). - Guidelines to include Context-oriented Programming in programs (e.g. best practices, patterns) - Runtime support for Context-oriented Programming (e.g. reflection, dynamic binding) - Implementation issues such as optimization, VM support, JIT compilation etc. for Context-oriented Programming - Tool support (e.g. design tools, IDEs, debuggers). === Submissions === COP invites submissions of high-quality papers reporting original research, or describing innovative contributions to, or experience with Context-oriented Programming, its implementation, and application. Papers that depart significantly from established ideas and practices are particularly welcome. Submissions must not have been published previously and must not be under review for any another refereed event or publication. The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity, and originality. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Papers are to be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cop2016) Papers must be written in English, be provided as PDF documents, and follow the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format (10 point font, Times New Roman font family, numeric citation style, http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/) They should not exceed 6 pages. === Important dates === Submissions: April 15, 2016 Notifications: May 13, 2016 COP-16: July 19, 2016 === Organizers === Guido Salvaneschi, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Robert Hirschfeld, Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam, Germany Atsushi Igarashi, Kyoto University, Japan Hidehiko Masuhara, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan === Program committee === Tomoyuki Aotani, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Dave Clarke, Uppsala University, Sweden and KU Leuven, Belgium Rocco De Nicola, IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy Coen De Roover, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Pierpaolo Degano, University of Pisa, Italy Gorel Hedin, Lund University, Sweden Tetsuo Kamina, Ritsumeikan University, Japan Jens Lincke, Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam, Germany Harold Ossher, IBM, United States Mario Südholt - École des Mines de Nantes, France Didier Verna, EPITA / LRDE, France === -- Robert Hirschfeld hirschfeld(a)acm.org www.hirschfeld.org

Programming Experience 2016 (PX/16) Workshop at ECOOP | Call for Papers
by Robert Hirschfeld March 11, 2016

March 11, 2016

Call for Papers *** Programming Experience 2016 (PX/16) Workshop *** July 18 (Mon), 2016 Co-located with ECOOP 2016 in Rome http://2016.ecoop.org/track/PX-2016 http://programming-experience.org/px16 === Abstract === Imagine a software development task. Some sort of requirements and specification including performance goals and perhaps a platform and programming language. A group of developers head into a vast workroom. <crossfade to developers exiting the vast workroom> The Programming Experience Workshop is about what happens in that room when one or a couple of programmers sit down in front of computers and produce code, especially when it's exploratory programming. Do they create text that is transformed into running behavior (the old way), or do they operate on behavior directly ("liveness"); are they exploring the live domain to understand the true nature of the requirements; are they like authors creating new worlds; does visualization matter; is the experience immediate, immersive, vivid and continuous; do fluency, literacy, and learning matter; do they build tools, meta-tools; are they creating languages to express new concepts quickly and easily; and curiously, is joy relevant to the experience? Correctness, performance, standard tools, foundations, and text-as-program are important traditional research areas, but the experience of programming and how to improve and evolve it are the focus of this workshop. === Submissions === Submissions are solicited for Programming Experience 2016 (PX/16). The thrust of the workshop is to explore the human experience of programming—what it feels like to program, or more accurately, what it should feel like. The technical topics include exploratory programming, live programming, authoring, representation of active content, visualization, navigation, modularity mechanisms, immediacy, literacy, fluency, learning, tool building, and language engineering. Submissions by academics, professional programmers, and non-professional programmer are welcome. Submissions can be in any form and format, including but not limited to papers, presentations, demos, videos, panels, debates, essays, writers' workshops, and art. Presentation slots will be between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on quality, form, and relevance to the workshop. Submissions directed toward publication should be so marked, and the program committee will engage in peer review for all such papers. Video publication will be arranged. All artifacts are to be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=px16) Papers and essays must be written in English, provided as PDF documents, and follow the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format (10 point font, Times New Roman font family, numeric citation style, http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/) There is no page limit on submitted papers and essays. It is, however, the responsibility of the authors to keep the reviewers interested and motivated to read the paper. Reviewers are under no obligation to read all or even a substantial portion of a paper or essay if they do not find the initial part of it interesting. === Format === Paper presentations, presentations without papers, live demonstrations, performances, videos, panel discussions, debates, writers' workshops, art galleries, dramatic readings. === Review === Papers and essays labeled as publications will undergo standard peer review; other submissions will be reviewed for relevance and quality; shepherding will be available. === Important dates === Submissions: April 15, 2016 (anywhere in the world) Notifications: May 13, 2016 PX/16: July 18, 2016 === Publication === Papers and essays accepted through peer review will be published as part of ACM's Digital Library; video publication on Vimeo or other streaming site; other publication on the PX workshop website. === Organizers === Robert Hirschfeld, Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam, Germany Richard P.
