Call for papers

From Lisp, Snobol, and Smalltalk to Python, Racket, and Javascript, Dynamic Languages have been playing a fundamental role both in programming research and practice. The 12^th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at SPLASH 2016 is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share research and experience on all aspects on Dynamic Languages.

The 12^th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at SPLASH 2016 invites high quality papers reporting original research and experience related to the design, implementation, and applications of dynamic languages.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

Innovative language features
Innovative implementation techniques
Innovative applications
Development environments and tools
Experience reports and case studies
Domain-oriented programming
Very late binding, dynamic composition, and run-time adaptation
Reflection and meta-programming
Software evolution
Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages
Dynamic optimization
JIT compilation
Soft/optional/gradual typing
Hardware support
Educational approaches and perspectives
Semantics of dynamic languages

Submissions and proceedings

Submissions must not have been published previously nor being under review at other events. 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 https://dls16.hotcrp.com/ in PDF format. Submissions must be in the ACM format (see http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm) with 10-point fonts and should not exceed 12 pages.

DLS 2016 will run a two-phase reviewing process to help authors make their final papers the best that they can be. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library and will be freely available for one month, starting two weeks before the event.

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
