---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stefan Marr <java@stefan-marr.de> Date: 29 June 2017 at 23:22 Subject: [CfP][Meta'17] Workshop on Meta-Programming Techniques and Reflection To: mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net Call for Papers: Meta’17 ======================== Workshop on Meta-Programming Techniques and Reflection Co-located with SPLASH 2017 October 22, 2017, Vancouver, Canada Twitter @MetaAtSPLASH http://2017.splashcon.org/track/meta-2017 The heterogeneity of mobile computing, cloud applications, multicore architectures, and other systems leads to increasing complexity of software and requires new approaches to programming languages and software engineering tools. To manage the complexity, we require generic solutions that can be adapted to specific application domains or use cases, making metaprogramming an important topic of research once more. However, the challenges with metaprogramming are still manifold. They start with fundamental issues such as typing of reflective programs, continue with practical concerns such as performance and tooling, and reach into the empirical field to understand how metaprogramming is used and how it affects software maintainability. Thus, while industry accepted metaprogramming on a wide scale with Ruby, Scala, JavaScript and others, academia still needs to answer a wide range of questions to bring it to the same level of convenience, tooling, and programming styles to cope with the increasing complexity of software systems. This workshop aims to explore meta-level technologies that help tackling the heterogeneity, scalability and openness requirements of emerging computations platforms. ### Topics of Interest The workshop is a venue for all approaches that embrace metaprogramming: - from static to dynamic techniques - reflection, meta-level architectures, staging, open language runtimes applications to middleware, frameworks, and DSLs - optimization techniques to minimize runtime overhead - contract systems, or typing of reflective programs reflection and metaobject protocols to enable tooling - case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g., to build applications, language extensions, or tools - empirical evaluation of metaprogramming solutions - security in reflective systems and capability-based designs - meta-level architectures and reflective middleware for modern runtime platforms (e.g. IoT, cyber-physical systems, mobile/cloud/grid computing, etc) - surveys, conceptualization, and taxonomization of existing approaches In short, we invite contributions to the workshop on a wide range of topics related to design, implementation, and application of reflective APIs and meta-programming techniques, as well as empirical studies and typing for such systems and languages. ### Workshop Format and Submissions This workshop welcomes the presentation of new ideas and emerging problems as well as mature work as part of a mini-conference format. Furthermore, we plan interactive brainstorming and demonstration sessions between the formal presentations to enable an active exchange of ideas. The workshop papers will be published in the ACM DL, if not requested otherwise by the authors. Thus, they will be part of SPLASH workshop proceedings. Therefore, papers are to be submitted using the SIGPLAN acmart style: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/. Please use the provided double-column templates for Latex http://www.sigplan.org/sites/default/files/acmart/current/ acmart-sigplanproc-template.tex) or Word http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. - technical paper: max. 8 pages, excluding references - position and work-in-progress paper: 1-4 pages, excluding references - technology demos or a posters: 1-page abstract Demos, posters, position and work-in-progress papers can be submitted on a second, later deadline to discuss the latest results and current work. For the submission, please use the submission system at: https://meta17.hotcrp.com/ ### Important Dates Abstract Submission: 07 August 2017 Paper Submission: 14 August 2017 Author Notification: 06 September 2017 Position/WIP Paper Deadline: 08 September 2017 Camera Ready Deadline: 18 September 2017 Position/WIP Notification: 21 September 2017 ### Program Committee The program committee consists of the organizers and the following reviewers: Anya Helen Bagge, University of Bergen, Norway Daniele Bonetta, Oracle Labs, Austria Nicolas Cardozo, Universidad de los Andes, Colombia Sebastian Erdweg, TU Delf, The Nederlands Robert Hirschfeld, HPI, Germany Roberto Ierusalimschy, PUC-Rio, Brazil Pablo Inostroza, CWI, The Nederlands Kim Mens, Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium Cyrus Omar, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Guillermo Polito, CNRS, France Tiark Rompf, Purdue University, USA Tom Van Cutsem, Nokia Bell Labs, Belgium Takuo Watanabe, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan ### Workshop Organizers Shigeru Chiba, University of Tokyo Elisa Gonzalez Boix, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Stefan Marr, Johannes Kepler University Linz _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev -- William Leslie Notice: Likely much of this email is, by the nature of copyright, covered under copyright law.
