BACKGROUND

This symposium is the twelfth in a series of conferences which started in 1989 in Szeged, Hungary. Since then it has been organized biannually. The twelfth symposium will be hosted by the Institute of Cybernetics at Tallinn University of Technology (IoC) and organized in co-operation with the Estonian Centre of Excellence in Computer Science (EXCS).


AIMS AND SCOPE

The Symposium on Programming Languages and Software Tools will provide a forum for software scientists to present and discuss recent research and development in computer science.

The scope of the symposium covers ongoing research related to languages, tools and methods for software development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- programming and modeling languages and systems,
- formal methods and algorithms,
- parallel and distributed systems,
- techniques for embedded, database, web and ubiquitous systems,
- techniques and tools for software engineering,
- model-driven software engineering,
- software evolution, refactoring and re-engineering,
- software architectures and software processes,
etc.


PROCEEDINGS

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings as a report of IoC with ISBN.

The authors of selected talks will be invited to revise their papers in order to be published as a special issue of the Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences (http://www.eap.ee/proceedings) in 2012. The papers submitted to this special issue will undergo standard journal referee process.


SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit full research papers (at most 12 pages) or short research papers (4-6 pages) in PDF-format before August 31st. Submissions should be written in English and formatted using the easychair.cls LaTeX class (can be obtained fromhttp://www.easychair.org/easychair.zip).

All submitted papers will be reviewed by members of the program committee and the accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.
