Dynamic Languages Symposium (HPI)

Most Notable Paper Award 2017 for 2007
- Recipients: Stijn Mostinckx, Tom Van Cutsem, Stijn Timbermont, and Éric Tanter
- Title: Mirages: Behavioral Intercession in a Mirror-based Architecture
- Conference: DLS 2007
- Paper: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1297095
- Citation: The 2007 DLS paper “Mirages: Behavioral Intercession in a Mirror-based Architecture” combined the ideas of explicit mirrors for reflective introspection and modification with implicit mirrors for behavioral intercession. The work in this paper influenced and inspired the design of proxies in the JavaScript language, where it now has applications in areas such as security, testing, and virtualization of the dom.

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 13^th edition of the Dynamic Language Symposium (DLS 2017), co-located with SPLASH 2017 in Vancouver, Canada.

From Lisp, Snobol, and Smalltalk to Python, Racket, and Javascript, Dynamic Languages have been playing a fundamental role both in programming research and practice. DLS is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share research and experience on all aspects on Dynamic Languages.

This year we received ten high-quality submissions reporting original research and experience related to the design, implementation, and applications of dynamic languages; seven of them have been selected for presentation, covering implemen- tation of systems and tools, memory management, and formal semantics.

Following the experience from previous years, we adopted a two-round process for reviewing the submissions. The second phase allowed a strong interaction between the authors and the Program Committee, which not only selected the papers, but contributed to improve them.

We warmly thank the Program Committee, the SPLASH organization, the authors, and, last but not least, the audience.
