Call for Papers - XXIV Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP 2020) Natal, Brazil, September 21-25, 2020 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2020 SBLP 2020 is the 24th edition of the Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages. It is promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and constitutes a forum for researchers, students and professionals to present and discuss ideas and innovations in the design, definition, analysis, implementation and practical use of programming languages. SBLP's first edition was in 1996. Since 2010, it is part of CBSoft, the Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice. Submission Guidelines ________________________________________________________________________________ Papers can be written in Portuguese or English. Submissions in English are encouraged because the proceedings will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of its authors will register for the symposium to present it. Papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. SBLP 2020 will use a lightweight double-blind review process. The manuscripts should be submitted for review anonymously (i.e., without listing the author’s names on the paper) and references to own work should be made in third person. Papers must be submitted electronically (in PDF format) via the Easychair System: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2020 The following paper categories are welcome (page limits include figures, references and appendices): Full papers: up to 8 pages long in ACM 2-column conference format, available at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Short papers: up to 3 pages in the same format. Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development or can report partial results of on-going dissertations or theses. List of Topics (related but not limited to the following) ________________________________________________________________________________ • Programming paradigms and styles, scripting and domain-specific languages and support for real-time, service-oriented, multi-threaded, parallel, and distributed programming • Program generation and transformation • Formal semantics and theoretical foundations: denotational, operational, algebraic and categorical • Program analysis and verification, type systems, static analysis and abstract interpretation • Programming language design and implementation, programming language environments, compilation and interpretation techniques Publication ________________________________________________________________________________ SBLP proceedings will be published in ACM's digital library. As in previous editions, authors of selected regular papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to be considered for publication in a journal's special issue. Since 2009, selected papers of each SBLP edition are being published in a special issue of Science of Computer Programming, by Elsevier.
