___________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers - 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) Proceedings will be published in the LNCS series, subject to Springer's approval. 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). 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 lifecycle 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. Please visit the conference web site to see the full call for papers, including a description of topics of interest. The program committee chairs encourage potential contributors to contact them with questions about the scope and topics of interest to SLE. Paper Submission ---------------- We solicit the following types of papers: * Research papers. These should report a substantial research contribution to SLE and/or successful application of SLE techniques. Full paper submissions must not exceed 20 pages. * Short papers. These may describe interesting or thought-provoking concepts that are not yet fully developed or evaluated, make an initial contribution to challenging research issues in SLE, or discuss and analyze controversial issues in the field. These papers must not exceed 10 pages. * Tool demonstration papers. Because of SLE's ample interest in tools, we seek papers that present software tools related to the field of SLE. These papers will accompany a tool demonstration to be given at the conference. These papers must not exceed 10 pages. The selection criteria include the originality of the tool, its innovative aspects, the relevance of the tool to SLE, and the maturity of the tool. Submissions may also include an appendix (that will not be published) containing additional screen-shots and discussion of the proposed demonstration. * Mini-tutorial papers. SLE is composed of various research areas, such as grammarware, modelware, language schemas, and semantic technologies. The cross product of attendees at SLE creates a situation where the contribution from one session may be difficult to understand by those not initiated to the area. To help unite the various communitues of SLE 2009, mini-tutorials are solicited that provide discussion points for mapping common ideas between the area and differentiating among variations. A mini-tutorial submisson should be between 15 and 20 pages. Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently be submitted for publication elsewhere. All submitted papers will be closely reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. All accepted papers will be made available at the conference in the pre-proceedings and published in the post-proceedings of the conference, which will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Authors will have the opportunity to revise their accepted paper for the pre- and post-proceedings. All papers must be formatted by following Springer's LNCS style and must be submitted using EasyChair (open early June): http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sle09 Further details regarding submission can be found on the SLE web page: http://planet-sl.org/sle2009 Invited Speakers ---------------- James Cordy, Queens University, Canada Jean Bezivin, University of Nantes, France Important Dates --------------- * Initial abstract submission (required) July 3, 2009 * Paper submission: July 10, 2009 * Author notification: August 21, 2009 * Paper submission for pre-proceedings: September 14, 2009 * Conference: October 5-6, 2009 * Camera-ready paper submission for post-proceedings: December 7, 2009 * LNCS post-proceedings mailed to authors (approx.): February 2010 Organization ------------ Steering Committee * Mark van den Brand, TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands * James Cordy, Queen's University, Canada * Jean-Marie Favre, University of Grenoble, France * Dragan Gasevic, Athabasca University, Canada * Gorel Hedin, Lund University, Sweden * Ralf Laemmel, Universitat Koblenz-Landau, Germany * Eric Van Wyk, University of Minnesota, USA * Andreas Winter, Universitat Koblenz-Landau, Germany General Chair * Dragan Gasevic, Athabasca University, Canada Program Committee Co-Chairs * Mark van den Brand, TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands * Jeff Gray, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA Organization Committee * Bardia Mohabbati, Simon Fraser University, Canada (Web Chair) * Alexander Serebrenik, TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands (Publicity co-Chair) * James Hill, Vanderiblt University, USA (Publicity co-Chair) Program Committee * Colin Atkinson, Universität Mannheim, Germany * Don Batory, University of Texas at Austin, USA * Paulo Borba, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil * John Boyland, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, USA * Marco Brambilla, Politecnico di Milano, Italy * Shigeru Chiba, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan * Charles Consel, LaBRI / INRIA, France * Gregor Engels, Universität Paderborn, Germany * Stephen A.
