------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS 15th International Conference on Managed Languages & Runtimes (ManLang'18) September 10-14, 2018, Linz, Austria http://ssw.jku.at/manlang18/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ManLang (formerly PPPJ) is a premier forum for presenting and discussing novel results in all aspects of managed programming languages and runtime systems, which serve as building blocks for some of the most important computing systems, ranging from small-scale (embedded and real-time systems) to large-scale (cloud-computing and big-data platforms) and anything in between (mobile, IoT, and wearable applications). ====== Topics ====== Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Languages and Compilers ----------------------- - Managed languages (e.g., Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, C#, F#, Clojure, Groovy, Kotlin, R, Smalltalk, Racket, Rust, Go, etc.) - Domain-specific languages - Language design - Compilers and interpreters - Type systems and program logics - Language interoperability - Parallelism, distribution, and concurrency Virtual Machines ---------------- - Managed runtime systems (e.g., JVM, Dalvik VM, Android Runtime (ART), LLVM, .NET CLR, RPython, etc.) - VM design and optimization - VMs for mobile and embedded devices - VMs for real-time applications - Memory management - Hardware/software co-design Techniques, Tools, and Applications ----------------------------------- - Static and dynamic program analysis - Testing and debugging - Refactoring - Program understanding - Program synthesis - Security and privacy - Performance analysis and monitoring - Compiler and program verification =============== Important Dates =============== Submission: May 4, 2018 (Abstracts: April 27) Notification: July 6, 2018 Camera-ready version: August 3, 2018 Poster submission: August 6, 2018 Poster notification: August 13, 2018 Conference: September 10-14, 2018 ========================== Submission and Proceedings ========================== Submissions to the conference will be evaluated on the basis of originality, relevance, technical soundness and presentation quality. Papers should be written in English and not exceed 12 pages in ACM format for full papers (6 pages for WiP, industry, and tool papers). You can also submit posters, which can be accompanied by a one-page abstract, and are due on August 6, 2018. The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the ACM Digital Library. See the conference homepage for details on paper formats and submission. ============ Organization ============ General Chair: Hanspeter Mössenböck, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Program Chair: Eli Tilevich, Virginia Tech, USA Steering Committee: Walter Binder, University of Lugano (USI), Switzerland Bruce Childers, University of Pittsburgh, USA Martin Pluemicke, DHBW Stuttgart, Germany Christian Probst, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark Petr Tuma, Charles University, Czech Republic Thomas Würthinger, Oracle Labs, Switzerland Program Committee: Godmar Back, Virginia Tech, USA Clement Bera, INRIA, France Christoph Bockisch, Philipps Universität Marburg, Germany Man Cao, Google, USA Shigeru Chiba, University of Tokyo, Japan Yvonne Coady, University of Victoria, Canada Julian Dolby, IBM Research, USA Patrick Eugster, University of Lugano, Switzerland Irene Finocchi, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Görel Hedin, Lund University, Sweden Robert Hirschfeld, Hasso Plattner Institute, Germany Tony Hosking, Purdue University, USA Doug Lea, SUNY Oswego, USA Eliot Moss, University of Massachusetts, USA Nate Nystrom, University of Lugano, Switzerland Tiark Rompf, Purdue University, USA Jennifer B.
