Thank you Nik for this important information, we did indeed believe that we missed the deadline. David Ascher is Canadian, as is ActiveState. I have cc'd this to him so that he can go about the business of correcting the pure slander that they are American, because Nik has clearly taken this from some other site.

Hi there

If I remember correctly some people were under the impression that the deadline for the Dynamic Languages Symposium at OOPSLA has already passed. Obviously this isn't so (it's June 1st, see below). If PyPy is going to submit a technical paper to just one conference this year, it should probably be this one. ;) Considering who's on the program committee it's also likely that it will actually be accepted.

Cheers Nik

Dynamic Languages Symposium 2006 - Technical Papers

Call for papers

Portland, Oregon, United States, October 22, 2006

http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/dls2006/

The Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at OOPSLA 2006 is a forum for discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation and application. While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, and Prolog continue to grow and inspire new converts, a new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications. DLS provides a place for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development.

The Technical Papers track of DLS 2006 invites high quality papers reporting original research, innovative contributions or experience related to dynamic languages, their implementation and application. Accepted Papers will be published in the OOPSLA conference companion and the ACM Digital Library.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to

* Reflection and meta-programming * Very late binding, dynamic composition, and runtime adaptation * Actors and active objects * Innovative language features and implementation techniques * Development and platform support, tools * Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages * Experience reports and case studies * Interesting applications * Educational approaches and perspectives * Domain-oriented programming * Object-oriented, aspect-oriented, and context-oriented programming

Submissions and proceedings

We invite original contributions that neither have been published previously nor are under review by other refereed events or publications. Research papers should describe work that advances the current state of the art. Experience papers should be of broad interest and should describe insights gained from substantive practical applications. The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity, and originality.

Papers are to be submitted electronically at http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/node2006/ in PDF format. Submissions need to use the ACM format, templates for which can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

Important dates

Submission of papers (hard deadline): June 1, 2006 (Thursday) Author notification: July 1, 2006 (Saturday) Final version due: July 11, 2006 (Tuesday) DLS Technical Papers Day: October 22, 2006 (Sunday) DLS Invited Talks Day: October 23, 2006 (Monday)
