======================================================================== Call for Papers MPLR 2023 - 20th International Conference on Managed Programming Languages & Runtimes October 23rd (approximate date), 2023 in Cascais, Portugal (Co-located with SPLASH 2023) https://2023.splashcon.org/home/mplr-2023 Follow us @MPLR_Conf ======================================================================== The 20th International Conference on Managed Programming Languages & Runtimes (MPLR’23, formerly ManLang, originally PPPJ) is a premier forum for presenting and discussing novel results in all aspects of managed programming languages and runtime systems, which serve as building blocks for some of the most important computing systems around, ranging from small-scale (embedded and real-time systems) to large-scale (cloud-computing and big-data platforms) and anything in between (mobile, IoT, and wearable applications). This year, MPLR will be co-located with SPLASH 2023. The venue will take place at the Hotel Cascais Miragem in Cascais, Portugal. For up-to-date details, check out the conference website: https://2023.splashcon.org/home/mplr-2023 and follow us on Twitter @MPLR_Conf. The areas of interest include but are not limited to: * Languages and Compilers - Managed languages (e.g., Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, C#, F#, Clojure, Groovy, Kotlin, R, Smalltalk, Racket, Rust, Go, Lua, MATLAB, Raku, Pony, …) - Portable intermediate representations like Webassembly - Domain-specific languages - Language design - Compilers and interpreters - Type systems and program logic - Language interoperability - Parallelism, distribution, and concurrency * Virtual Machines - Managed runtime systems (e.g., JVM, Android Runtime (ART), V8, LLVM, .NET CLR, RPython, GraalVM, etc.) - VM design and optimization - VMs for mobile and embedded devices - VMs for real-time applications - Memory management and garbage collection - Hardware/software co-design - Persistence * Techniques, Tools, and Applications - Static and dynamic program analysis - Testing and debugging - Refactoring - Program understanding - Program synthesis - Security and privacy - Performance analysis and monitoring - Compiler and program verification Submission Categories --------------------- MPLR accepts four types of submissions: 1. Regular research papers describing novel contributions involving managed language platforms. Research papers will be evaluated based on their relevance, novelty, technical rigor, and contribution to the state-of-the-art. Format: up to 12 pages, excluding bibliography and appendix 2. Work-in-progress research papers describing promising new ideas, with perhaps less maturity than full papers. Work-in-progress papers will be evaluated with an emphasis on novelty and the potential of new ideas instead of technical rigor and experimental results. Format: up to 6 pages, excluding bibliography and appendix 3. Industry and tool papers presenting technical challenges and solutions for managed language platforms in the context of deployed applications and systems. Industry and tool papers will be evaluated on their relevance, usefulness, and results. Suitability for demonstration and availability will also be considered for tool papers. Format: up to 6 pages, excluding bibliography and appendix 4. Posters and Demonstrations They will be evaluated similarly to work-in-progress papers. Posters can accompany any submission as a way to provide additional demonstration and discussion opportunities. Format: poster and 1-page abstract Accepted submissions will be published in the ACM Digital Library, except if the authors prefer not to be included. MPLR 2023 submissions must conform to the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions and to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy. See http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/ Author Instructions ------------------- Submissions need to use the ACM `acmart` format with the `sigconf` style: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template If you are using LaTeX, submissions need to use the 'acmart' document class with the ‘sigplan’ option. For reviewing, please include page numbers in your submission using the LaTeX command `\settopmatter{printfolios=true}`. The standard settings of a 10 point font size. All submissions need to be in PDF format. MPLR now uses double-blind reviewing. Authors should not show their names on a submission and should refer to their own work in third person. We further recommend that they avoid publicizing the work, at least under the same or similar title, while it is under review. Please also ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes are legible. Submission Site: https://mplr23.hotcrp.com/ Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: 26 June 2023 Paper Author Notification: 31 July 2023 Camera Ready for Papers: 21 August 2023 Posters and Demos Submission Deadline: 5 September 2023 Posters and Demos Notification: 12 September 2023 Conference Dates (approximate): 23 October 2023 All deadlines are 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h). AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
