The workshop is designed to cover both the theory = and the practice of design and programming, bringing together = researchers working on models, languages and technologies, and = practitioners developing real-world systems and applications. ************************************************************** Second Workshop on Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation = (DSLDI) http://2014.splashcon.org/track/dsldi-2014 - Deadlines: submission and notification Submission of talk proposals: August 27, 2014 Notification: September 12, 2014 Organizers: Sebastian Erdweg, TU Darmstadt Adam Welc, Oracle Labs - Abstract If designed and implemented well, domain-specific languages (DSLs) = combine the best features of general-purpose programming languages (e.g., = performance) with high productivity (e.g., ease of programming). The goal of the DSLDI = workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in sharing = ideas on how DSLs should be designed, implemented, supported by tools, and = applied in realistic application contexts. We are both interested in discovering = how already known domains such as graph processing or machine learning can = be best supported by DSLs, but also in exploring new domains that could be = targeted by DSLs. More generally, we are interested in building a community that can = drive forward the development of modern DSLs. We solicit talk proposals in the form of short abstracts (max. 2 pages). = A good talk proposal describes an interesting position, demonstration, or early achievement. The submissions will be reviewed on relevance and clarity, = and used to plan the mostly interactive sessions of the workshop day.

In the past this has occurred when programming languages = have evolved towards a higher level of abstraction. Today, domain-specific modeling languages provide a viable solution for continuing to raise the level of abstraction beyond coding, making development faster and = easier. In domain-specific modeling (DSM) the models are constructed using concepts = that represent things in the application domain, not concepts of a given programming language. The modeling language follows the domain = abstractions and semantics, allowing developers to perceive them-selves as working directly with domain concepts. Together with frameworks and platforms, = DSM can automate a large portion of software production. Some possible = topics for submission to the workshop include: - Industry/academic experience reports - Creation of metamodel-based languages - Novel approaches for code generation from domain-specific models - Evolution of languages=20 - Metamodeling frameworks and languages - Tools for supporting DSMs ************************************************************** Eclipse Technology eXchange (ETX) 2014 http://conf.researchr.org/home/etx-2014 - Deadlines: submission and notification Paper Registration Deadline: July 25th, 2014 Paper Submission Deadline: Aug 1st, 2014 Author Notification: Sept 5th, 2014 - Organizers Jan S. Rellermeyer IBM Research, USA Tim Verbelen Ghent University, Belgium - Abstract The Eclipse platform was originally designed for building an integrated = development environment for object-oriented applications. Over the years = it has developed into a vibrant ecosystem of platforms, toolkits, = libraries, modeling frameworks, and tools that=20 support various languages and programming styles. The goal of the ETX workshop is to bring together researchers and = practitioners to exchange ideas about potential new uses of Eclipse and = how Eclipse technology can be leveraged, improved, and/or extended for = research and education. Topics include, but are not limited to, the use of Eclipse for: - Integrated Development Environment (IDE) - Supporting the software development process - Debugging and testing - Supporting design, requirements, and specifications - Modeling environments and frameworks - Aspect-oriented programming - Program analysis and transformation - Computer-based learning - Software engineering education - Teaching foundations of object-oriented programming - Courseware - Rich client application - OSGi - Applications on the Internet of Things - Programming for and in the Cloud - Supporting the development of Android applications Submitted papers should have a maximum of six pages and use the ACM = SIGPLAN Proceedings Format, 10 point font. Proceedings will be included = in the ACM Digital Library. To have their work included in the ACM = Digital Library, authors will need to sign the ACM Copyright Form. =20 ************************************************************** Mobile Development Lifecycle (MobileDeLi 14)=20 http://sysrun.haifa.il.ibm.com/hrl/mobiledeli2014/index.shtml=20 - Deadlines: submission and notification Submission: July 15, 2014=20 Notification: August 18th, 2014=20 - Organizers: Aharon Abadi, IBM Research - Haifa=20 Danny Dig School of EECS at Oregon State University=20 Eli Tilevich Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA, USA=20 - Abstract: Mobile application usage and development is experiencing exponential = growth. According to Gartner, by 2016 more than 300 billion applications = will be downloaded annually. The mobile domain presents new challenges = to software engineering. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing, = including diverse capabilities as GPS, sensors, and input modes. = Applications must be omni-channel and work on all platforms. Activated = on mobile platforms, modern applications must be elastic and scale on = demand according to the hardware abilities. Applications often need to = support and use third-party services. Therefore, during development, = security and authorization processes for the dataflow must be applied. = Bring your own device (BYOD)=20 policies bring new security data leaks challenges. Developing such = applications requires suitable practices and tools e.g., architecture = techniques that relate to the complexity at hand; improved refactoring = tools for hybrid applications using dynamic languages and polyglot = development and applications; and testing techniques for applications = that run on different devices. This workshop aims at establishing a = community of researchers and practitioners to share their work and lead = further research in the mobile development area.=20 ************************************************************** Fifth Workshop on Evaluation and Usability of Programming Languages and Tools (PLATEAU) http://2014.splashcon.org/track/plateau2014-papers - Deadlines: submission and notification Submissions: Aug 1, 2014 Notification: Aug 22, 2014 - Organizers Thomas LaToza (University of California, Irvine) Josh Sunshine (Carnegie Mellon University) Craig Anslow (University of Calgary) -Abstract Programming languages exist to enable programmers to develop software effectively. But how efficiently programmers can write software depends on the usability of the languages and tools that they develop with. The aim of this workshop is to discuss methods, metrics and techniques for evaluating the usability of languages and language tools. PLATEAU encourages submissions of three types of papers. Research papers (up to 8 pages) and position papers (up to 2 pages) report on work or ideas related to the workshop themes. New this year are hypotheses papers (up to 4 pages). Hypotheses papers explicitly identify beliefs of the research community or software industry about how a programming language, programming language feature, or programming language tool affects programming practice. ************************************************************** Second Workshop on Programming for Mobile and Touch (PROMOTO 2014) http://research.microsoft.com/promoto2014 =20 - Deadlines: submission and notification Submission deadline: August 18, 2014 Notification deadline: September 12, 2014 =20 - Organizers Judith Bishop, Microsoft Research Nikolai Tillmann, Microsoft Research Arno Puder, San Francisco State University =20 - Abstract Today, easy-to-use mobile devices like smartphones and tablets are = becoming more prevalent than traditional PCs and laptops. New = programming languages are emerging to enable programmers to develop = software easily -- leveraging the exciting advances in existing = hardware, and providing abstractions that fit the capabilities of target = platforms with multiple sensors, touch and cloud capabilities. PROMOTO = brings together researchers who have been exploring new programming = paradigms, embracing the new realities of always connected, = touch-enabled mobile devices. PROMOTO 2014 would like to invite = contributions covering technical aspects of cross-platform computing, = cloud computing, social applications and security. The challenges of new = types of devices, and the introduction of mobile in the classroom are = very important. Submissions for this event are invited in the general = area of mobile and touch-oriented programming languages and programming = environments, and teaching of programming for mobile devices. ************************************************************** The First International Workshop on Privacy and Security in Programming = (PSP) http://www.indiana.edu/~psp2014/ - Deadlines: submission and notification Submissions: August 6, 2014 Notification: September 6, 2014 - Organizers Tyrone Grandison, Proficiency Labs Michael Maximilien, IBM Cloud Labs Raquel L Hill, Indiana University - Abstract: The development of secure software requires the specification and = communication of functional and nonfunctional security and privacy = requirements, the utilization of secure and privacy-preserving = programming language constructs and the application of secure and = privacy-preserving coding best practices. Currently, firms focused on = developing code that is both secure and privacy-preserving will employ = at most two of these techniques. Unfortunately, this leads to software = with the appearance of being safe (i.e. secure and privacy-preserving = code), but that offers very little real protection. You can have a = secure design, but if there are no supporting language constructs then = the systems won=92t be safe. If the programmer does not know the secure = coding principles and is unaware of privacy engineering methodology, = then the resulting software will not be safe. Additionally, privacy = engineering is a relatively new area and researchers are trying to = determine how to characterize privacy requirements. The specification of these requirements is an inter-disciplinary = undertaking; involving experts in law, business, and computer science. By getting experts in security, privacy, requirements engineering, = programming languages, formal methods, privacy engineering and secure = coding into the same space, it is hoped that the community can bridge = the gap between the design and the implementation of safe code. This workshop seeks to enable the development of safe software systems = by getting the people of these currently isolated fields to start = talking, working together and addressing this very difficult issue. ************************************************************** Reactive and Event-based Languages & Systems (REBLS) www.rebls-ws.com - Deadlines: submission and notification Submission deadline: August 25, 2014 Notification: September 8, 2014 - Organizers: Wolfgang De Meuter, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Guido Salvaneschi, Technical University of Darmstadt Patrick Eugster, Purdue University Lukasz Ziarek, University at Buffalo - Abstract: Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely related programming styles that are becoming ever more important with the advent of advanced HPC technology and the ever increasing requirement for our applications to run on the web or on collaborating mobile devices. A number of publications on middleware and language design =97 so-called reactive and event-based languages and systems (REBLS) =97 have already seen the light, but the field still raises several questions. For example, the interaction with mainstream language concepts is poorly understood, implementation technology is in its infancy and modularity mechanisms are almost totally lacking. Moreover, large applications are still to be developed and patterns and tools for developing reactive applications is an area that is vastly unexplored. This workshop will gather researchers in reactive and event-based languages and systems. The goal of the workshop is to exchange new technical research results and to define better the field by coming up with taxonomies and overviews of the existing work. We welcome all submissions on reactive programming, aspect- and event-oriented systems, including but not limited to: language design, implementation, runtime systems, program analysis, software metrics, patterns and benchmarks. ************************************************************** TD - Workshop on Technical Debt Technical Debt in a World of Big Data and Big Teams http://manclswx.com/workshops/splash14 -Deadlines: Submission deadline is August 26, 2014. -Organizers: Dennis Mancl, Alcatel-Lucent Bill Opdyke, JPMorgan Chase Steve Fraser, independent -Abstract: Technical debt is an unavoidable part of software development in today's = fast-paced market, but it is ignored by many of the people who should = care about it most. In large systems, a portion of the accumulating technical debt is just = "sloppy design" caused by schedule pressure and other project forces. = But the most important part of technical debt is directly related to = project size and data complexity. How much technical debt is about = large development teams and geographical distribution? How do current = "big data" techniques (Hadoop, NoSQL, parallel algorithms, MapReduce) = relate to technical debt issues? This workshop explores strategies for understanding the impact of = technical debt. If we believe that technical debt is an important issue = in long-term software product development, do we have ways to keep the = technical debt from causing development gridlock? The workshop = discusses some approaches to taking on technical debt from systems large = and small.
