The symposium is sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) andg aims to provide a forum where researchers, educators, and practitioners present and discuss the latest theoretical and practical work on programming languages. We invite authors to contribute to SBLP'2002 with the following kinds of submission: * Technical research papers introducing original research results on topics such as (but not limited to): - Programming language design and implementation - Formal semantics of programming languages - Domain-specific programming languages - Visual programming languages - Programming languages for mobile, WWW, and network computing - Script languages - Design and implementation of programming tools and environments - New programming models - Theoretical foundations of programming languages - Teaching programming languages * Experience reports on the use of programming languages, tools, and environments. The reports should clearly state the problems and difficulties identified on using those programming languages or technologies on projects, possibly giving solutions to those problems or hints to avoid them. * Tutorial proposals on subjects related to programming languages, APIs, tools, environments or theories. There will be also invited lectures, tutorials, panels, and working meetings to closely group together professionals interested on specific research topics.
