** Co-located Events **
**** Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) ****
The Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) is the premier forum for
researchers and practitioners to share research and experience on all
aspects of dynamic languages.
After two decades of dynamic language research and DLS, it is time to
reflect and look forward to what the next two decades will bring. This
year's DLS will therefore be a special DLS focusing on the Future of
Dynamic Languages. To do the notion of "symposium" justice, we will
actively invite speakers to present their opinions on where Dynamic
Languages might be, will be, or should be going in the next twenty
years.

**** Software Language Engineering (SLE) ****
The ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language
Engineering (SLE) is devoted to the principles of software languages:
their design, their implementation, and their evolution.
Like its predecessors, the 16th edition of the SLE conference, SLE 2023,
will bring together researchers from different areas united by their
common interest in the creation, capture, and tooling of software
languages. It overlaps with traditional conferences on the design and
implementation of programming languages, model-driven engineering, and
compiler construction, and emphasizes the fusion of their communities.
To foster the latter, SLE traditionally fills a two-day program with a
single track, with the only temporal overlap occurring between
co-located events.
R2 Submission Deadline: 30 Jun 2023

======================================================================
** SPLASH Co-hosted conferences, symposiums and events with upcoming
deadlines **
**** Onward! Papers ****
Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything
to do with programming and software: including processes, methods,
languages, communities and applications. Onward! is more radical, more
visionary and more open than other conferences to ideas that are
well-argued but not yet proven. We welcome different ways of thinking
about, approaching and reporting on programming language and software
engineering research. Onward! Papers is looking for grand visions and
new paradigms that could make a big difference in how we will one day
build software.
Submission deadline: 28 Apr 2023
Details: https://2023.splashcon.org/track/splash-2023-Onward-papers
**** Onward! Essays ****
Onward! Essays track is looking for clear and compelling pieces of
writing about topics important to the software community. An essay may
be an exploration of the topic and its impact, or a story about the
circumstances of its creation; it may present a personal view of what
is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it may
be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. The subject
area--software, programming, and programming languages--should be
interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to
human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological,
historical, or anthropological underpinnings.
Submission deadline: 28 Apr 2023
Details: https://2023.splashcon.org/track/splash-2023-Onward-Essays
**** Posters ****
The SPLASH Posters track provides an excellent forum for authors to
present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and
receive feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any
aspect of programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of
the poster session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of
individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact.
**** SPLASH-E ****
SPLASH-E is a symposium for software and languages (SE/PL) researchers
with activities and interests around computing education. Some build
pedagogically-oriented languages or tools; some think about pedagogic
challenges around SE/PL courses; some bring computing to non-CS
communities; some pursue human studies and educational research. At
SPLASH-E, we share our educational ideas and challenges centered in
software/languages, as well as our best ideas for advancing such work.
** Student Research Competition (SRC) **
The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) offers a unique opportunity
for undergraduate and graduate students to present their research to a
panel of judges and conference attendees at SPLASH. The SRC provides
visibility and exposes up-and-coming researchers to computer science
research and the research community. This competition also gives
students an opportunity to discuss their research with experts in their
field, get feedback, and sharpen their communication and networking
skills.
** Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW) **
The SPLASH Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop encourages graduate
students (PhD and MSc) and senior undergraduate students to pursue
research in programming languages. This workshop will provide mentoring
sessions on how to prepare for and thrive in graduate school and in a
research career, focusing both on cutting-edge research topics and
practical advice. The workshop brings together leading researchers and
junior students in an inclusive environment in order to help welcome
newcomers to our field of programming languages research. The workshop
will show students the many paths that they might take to enter and
contribute to our research community.
** Workshops **
**** CONFLANG ****
CONFLANG is a workshop on the design, the theory, the practice and the
future evolution of configuration languages. It aims to gather the
emerging community in this area in order to engage in fruitful
interactions, to share ideas, results, opinions, and experiences on
languages for configuration. Correct configuration is an actual
industrial problem, and would greatly benefit from existing and ongoing
academic research. Dually, this is a space with new challenges to
overcome and new directions to explore, which is a great opportunity to
confront new ideas with large-scale production.
**** FTSCS ****
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers
who are interested in the application of formal and semi-formal methods
to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. FTSCS
strives to promote research and development of formal methods and tools
for industrial applications, and is particularly interested in
industrial applications of formal methods.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to: case studies and
experience reports on the use of formal methods for analyzing
safety-critical systems, including avionics, automotive, medical,
railway, and other kinds of safety-critical and QoS-critical systems;
methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis,
certification, debugging, etc., of safety/QoS-critical systems; analysis
methods that address the limitations of formal methods in industry
(usability, scalability, etc.); formal analysis support for modeling
languages used in industry, such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE,
Modelica, etc.; code generation from validated models.
The workshop will provide a platform for discussions and the exchange of
innovative ideas, so submissions on work in progress are encouraged.
**** HATRA ****
Programming language designers seek to provide strong tools to help
developers reason about their programs. For example, the formal methods
community seeks to enable developers to prove correctness properties of
their code, and type system designers seek to exclude classes of
undesirable behavior from programs. The security community creates tools
to help developers achieve their security goals. In order to make these
approaches as effective as possible for developers, recent work has
integrated approaches from human-computer interaction research into
programming language design. This workshop brings together programming
languages, software engineering, security, and human-computer
interaction researchers to investigate methods for making languages that
provide stronger safety properties more effective for programmers and
software engineers.
We have two goals: (1) to provide a venue for discussion and feedback on
early-stage approaches that might enable people to be more effective at
achieving stronger safety properties in their programs; (2) to
facilitate discussion about relevant topics of participant interest.
**** IWACO ****
Many techniques have been introduced to describe and reason about
stateful programs, and to restrict, analyze, and prevent aliases. These
include various forms of ownership types, capabilities, separation
logic, linear logic, uniqueness, sharing control, escape analysis,
argument independence, read-only references, linear references, effect
systems, and access control mechanisms. These tools have found their way
into type systems, compilers and interpreters, runtime systems and
bug-finding tools. Their immediate practical relevance is self-evident
from the popularity of Rust, a programming language built around
reasoning about aliasing and ownership to enable static memory
management and data race freedom, voted the "most beloved" language in
the annual Stack Overflow Developer Survey seven times in a row.
IWACO'23 will focus on these techniques, on how they can be used to
reason about stateful (sequential or concurrent) programs, and how they
have been applied to programming languages. In particular, we will
consider papers on: models, type systems and other formal systems,
programming language mechanisms, analysis and design techniques,
patterns and notations for expressing ownership, aliasing, capabilities,
uniqueness, and related topics; empirical studies of programs or
experience reports from programming systems designed with these
techniques in mind; programming logics that deal with aliasing and/or
shared state, or use ownership, capabilities or resourcing; applications
of capabilities, ownership and other similar type systems in low-level
systems such as programming languages runtimes, virtual machines, or
compilers; and optimization techniques, analysis algorithms, libraries,
applications, and novel approaches exploiting ownership, aliasing,
capabilities, uniqueness, and related topics.
**** LIVE ****
Programming is cognitively demanding, and too difficult. LIVE is a
workshop exploring new user interfaces that improve the immediacy,
usability, and learnability of programming. Whereas PL research
traditionally focuses on programs, LIVE focuses more on the activity of
programming.
Our goal is to provide a supportive venue where early-stage work
receives constructive criticism. Whether graduate students or tenured
faculty, researchers need a forum to discuss new ideas and get helpful
feedback from their peers. Towards that end, we will allot about ten
minutes for discussion after every presentation.
**** PAINT ****
Programming environments that integrate tools, notations, and
abstractions into a holistic user experience can provide programmers
with better support for what they want to achieve. These programming
environments can create an engaging place to do new forms of
informational work - resulting in enjoyable, creative, and productive
experiences with programming.
In the workshop on Programming Abstractions and Interactive Notations,
Tools, and Environments (PAINT), we want to discuss programming
environments that support users in working with and creating notations
and abstractions that matter to them. We are interested in the
relationship between people centric notations and general-purpose
programming languages and environments. How do we reflect the various
experiences, needs, and priorities of the many people involved in
programming -- whether they call it that or not?
**** PLF ****
Applications supporting multi-device are ubiquitous. While most of the
distributed applications that we see nowadays are cloud-based, avoiding
the cloud can lead to privacy and performance benefits for users and
operational and cost benefits for companies and developers. Following
this idea, Local-First Software runs and stores its data locally while
still allowing collaboration, thus retaining the benefits of existing
collaborative applications without depending on the cloud. Many specific
solutions already exist: operational transformation, client-side
databases with eventually consistent replication based on CRDTs, and
even synchronization as a service provided by commercial offerings, and
a vast selection of UI design libraries.
However, these solutions are not integrated with the programming
languages that applications are developed in. Language based solutions
related to distribution such as type systems describing protocols,
reliable actor runtimes, data processing, machine learning, etc., are
designed and optimized for the cloud not for a loosely connected set of
cooperating devices. This workshop aims at bringing the issue to the
attention of the PL community, and accelerating the development of
suitable solutions for this area.
**** REBELS ****
Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely related
programming styles that are becoming ever more important with the advent
of advanced HPC technology and the ever increasing requirement for our
applications to run on the web or on collaborating mobile devices. A
number of publications on middleware and language design -- so-called
reactive and event-based languages and systems (REBLS) -- have already
seen the light, but the field still raises several questions. For
example, the interaction with mainstream language concepts is poorly
understood, implementation technology is in its infancy and modularity
mechanisms are almost totally lacking. Moreover, large applications are
still to be developed and patterns and tools for developing reactive
applications is an area that is vastly unexplored.
This workshop will gather researchers in reactive and event-based
languages and systems. The goal of the workshop is to exchange new
technical research results and to define better the field by coming up
with taxonomies and overviews of the existing work.
**** ST30 ****
Session types are a type-theoretic approach to specifying communication
protocols so that they can be verified by type-checking. This year marks
30 years since the first paper on session types, by Kohei Honda at
CONCUR 1993. Since then the topic has attracted increasing interest, and
a substantial community and literature have developed. Google Scholar
lists almost 400 articles with "session types" in the title, and most
programming language conferences now include several papers on session
types each year. In terms of the technical focus, there have been
continuing theoretical developments (notably the generalisation from
two-party to multi-party session types by Honda, Yoshida and Carbone in
2008, and the development of a Curry-Howard correspondence with linear
logic by Caires and Pfenning in 2010) and a variety of implementations
of session types as programming language extensions or libraries,
covering (among others) Haskell, OCaml, Java, Scala, Rust, Python, C#,
Go.
ST30 is a workshop to celebrate the 30th anniversary of session types by
bringing together the community for a day of talks and technical
discussion.
