CALL FOR PAPERS ================================= Workshop on Real World Domain Specific Languages https://sites.google.com/site/realworlddsl In conjunction with The International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimisation 2016. http://cgo.org/cgo2016 Barcelona, 12-13 March, 2016 ================================= As the use of computers proliferates, the complexity and variety of systems continues to grow. As a result, it is becoming increasingly inflexible to "hard wire” behaviours into software. Software developers can enable more control over their software configurations by exploiting Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). Such DSLs provide a systematic way to structure the underlying computational components: to coin a phrase, a DSL is a library with syntax. There is an enormous variety of DSLs for a very wide range of domains. Most DSLs are highly idiosyncratic, reflecting both the specific natures of their application domains and their designers’ own preferences. This workshop will bring together constructors of DSLs for “real world” domains; that is, DSLs intended primarily to aid in building software to solve real world problems rather than to explore the more theoretical aspects of language design and implementation. We are looking for submissions that present the motivation, design, implementation, use and evaluation of such DSLs. ================================= Key Dates: ---------------- Paper submission deadline: 10 January 2016. Author notification: 2 February 2016. Final manuscript due: 21 February 2016. Workshop: 12-13 March 2016. ---------------- Submission Instructions: The EasyChair submission page for this workshop is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rwdsl16 Accepted submissions will be published in the ACM Digital Library within its International Conference Proceedings Series. Submissions should be 8-10 in ACM double-column format. Authors should follow the information for formatting ACM SIGPLAN conference papers, which can be found at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author. We will provide more details of the submissions format and process at the beginning of November. ================================= Program Chairs Rob Stewart, Heriot-Watt University Greg Michaelson, Heriot-Watt University PC Members Jost Berthold, Commonwealth Bank of Australia Andy Gill, University of Kansas Kevin Hammond, University of St Andrews Rita Loogen, Philipps Universitat Marburg Patrick Maier, University of Glasgow Josef Svenningsson, Chalmers University Simon Thompson, University of Kent Phil Trinder, University of Glasgow Contact Please email inquiries concerning the workshop to: R.Stewart@hw.ac.uk Simon Thompson | Professor of Logic and Computation School of Computing | University of Kent | Canterbury, CT2 7NF, UK s.j.thompson@kent.ac.uk | M +44 7986 085754 | W www.cs.kent.ac.uk/~sjt
