___________________________________________________________ Call for Participation - SLE 2009 2nd International Conference on Software Language Engineering http://planet-sl.org/sle2009 Denver, Colorado, October 5-6, 2009 ____________________________________________________________ Co-located with 12th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2009) and 8th International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2009) Highlights: - Research Program: 15 research papers, 6 short papers and 2 tool demos (program listed below) - Keynote Speakers: Jean Bezivin and James Cordy - Early Registration: Open until Sept 14, 2008 Conference ---------- The 2nd International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE) is devoted to topics related to artificial languages in software engineering. SLE's foremost mission is to encourage and organize communication between communities that have traditionally looked at software languages from different, more specialized, and yet complementary perspectives. SLE emphasizes the fundamental notion of languages as opposed to any realization in specific "technical spaces". SLE 2009 will be co-located with the 12th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2009) and 8th International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2009). Scope ----- The term 'software language' comprises all sorts of artificial languages used in software development, including general-purpose programming languages, domain-specific languages, modeling and meta-modeling languages, data models, and ontologies. Used in its broadest sense, examples include modeling languages such as UML-based and domain-specific modeling languages, business process modeling languages, and web application modeling languages. The term 'software language' also comprises APIs and collections of design patterns that are implicitly defined languages. Software language engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, use, and maintenance of these languages. Thus, the SLE conference is concerned with all phases of the life cycle of software languages; these include the design, implementation, documentation, testing, deployment, evolution, recovery, and retirement of languages. Of special interest are tools, techniques, methods and formalisms that support these activities. In particular, tools are often based on or even automatically generated from a formal description of the language. Hence, of special interest is the treatment of language descriptions as software artifacts, akin to programs - while paying attention to the special status of language descriptions, subject to tailored engineering principles and methods for modularization, refactoring, refinement, composition, versioning, co-evolution, and analysis.
