and applications based on actors, active/concurrent objects, agents and =96=
more generally =96 high-level programming paradigms promoting a mindset of=
decentralized control in solving problems and developing software. The wor=

- Organizers:
Jeff Gray, University of Alabama, USA
Jonathan Sprinkle, University of Arizona, USA
Juha-Pekka Tolvanen, MetaCase, Finland
Matti Rossi, Aalto University School of Economics, Finland
- Abstract:
Domain-specific languages provide a viable and time-tested solution for con=
tinuing to raise the level of abstraction, and thus productivity, beyond co=
ding, making systems development faster and easier. When accompanied with s=
uitable automated modeling tools and generators it delivers to the promises=
of continuous delivery and devops. In Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM) the m=
odels are constructed using concepts that represent things in the applicati=
on domain, not concepts of a given programming language. The modeling langu=
age follows the domain abstractions and semantics, allowing developers to p=
erceive themselves as working directly with domain concepts. Together with =
frameworks and platforms, DSM can automate a large portion of software prod=
uction. This automation is possible because of domain-specificity: both the=
modeling language and code generators fit to the requirements of a narrowl=
y defined domain, often inside one organization only.

Abstracts: July 31, 2015
Submissions: August 7, 2015
- Organizers:
Tim Verbelen, Ghent University - iMinds, Belgium
Michael Burke, Rice University, USA
- Abstract:
The Eclipse platform (http://www.eclipse.org) was originally designed for b=
uilding integrated development environments for object-oriented application=
s. Over the years it has developed into a vibrant ecosystem of platforms, t=
oolkits, libraries, modeling frameworks, and tools that support various lan=
guages and programming styles. The goal of the ETX workshop is to bring tog=
ether researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas about potential new u=
ses of Eclipse and how Eclipse technology can be leveraged, improved, and/o=
r extended for research and education. After succesful editions of the ETX =
workshop in 2003-2007, we revived the ETX workshop in 2014 and are now up f=
or another edition. ETX 2015 invites original and unpublished contributions=
about potential new uses of Eclipse and how Eclipse technology can be leve=
raged, improved, and/or extended for research and education.

- Abstract:
The Future Programming Workshop (FPW) invites ambitious visions, new approa=
ches, and early-stage work of all kinds seeking to improve software develop=
ment. Participants will present their work at SPLASH in Pittsburgh and opti=
onally at Strange Loop in St. Louis, culminating in a writers=92 workshop a=
t SPLASH. FPW fosters a supportive and inspirational community of researche=
rs and practitioners working at the frontiers of software. We are looking f=
or transformative ideas outside the academic and industrial mainstream - id=
eas with potentially large impacts on how we will build software in the fut=
ure. We embrace early-stage work, when it is most in need of constructive c=
riticism, and offer a safe and effective environment in which to receive su=
ch criticism.

- Deadlines:
Submissions: August 7, 2015
- Organizers:
Aharon Abadi, IBM Haifa Research Lab, Israel
Lori Flynn, CERT, USA
Jeff Gray, University of Alabama, USA
- Abstract:
Mobile application usage and development is experiencing exponential growth=
. According to Gartner, by 2016 more than 200 billion total apps will have =
been downloaded. The mobile domain presents new challenges to software engi=
neering. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing, including diverse capabilit=
ies 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 scal=
e on demand according to the hardware abilities. Applications often need to=
support and use third-party services. Therefore, during development, secur=
ity and authorization processes for the dataflow must be applied. Bring you=
r own device (BYOD) policies bring new security data leaks challenges. Deve=
loping such applications requires suitable practices and tools e.g., archit=
ecture techniques that relate to the complexity at hand; improved refactori=
ng tools for hybrid applications using dynamic languages and polyglot devel=
opment and applications; and testing techniques for applications that run o=
n different devices. This workshop aims at establishing a community of rese=
archers and practitioners to share their work and lead further research in =
the mobile development area.

http://2015.splashcon.org/track/plateau2015
- Deadlines:
Submissions: August 7, 2015
- Organizers:
Thomas LaToza, UC Irvine, USA
Joshua Sunshine, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
Craig Anslow, Middlesex University, UK
- Abstract:
Programming languages exist to enable programmers to develop software effec=
tively. But how efficiently programmers can write software depends on the u=
sability 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. The supposed benefits of such la=
nguages and tools cover a large space, including making programs easier to =
read, write, and maintain; allowing programmers to write more flexible and =
powerful programs; and restricting programs to make them more safe and secu=
re. PLATEAU gathers the intersection of researchers in the programming lang=
uage, programming tool, and human-computer interaction communities to share=
their research and discuss the future of evaluation and usability of progr=
amming languages and tools.

- Abstract:
Parsing@SLE is a workshop on parsing programming languages, now in its thir=
d edition. The intended participants are the authors of parser generation t=
ools and parsers for programming languages and other software languages. Fo=
r the purpose of this workshop ``parsing=92=92 is a computation that takes =
a sequence of characters as input and produces a syntax tree or graph as ou=
tput. This possibly includes tokenization using regular expressions, derivi=
ng trees using context- free grammars, and mapping to abstract syntax trees=
. The goal is to bring together today=92s experts in the field of parsing, =
in order to explore open questions and possibly forge new collaborations. T=
he topics may include algorithms, implementation and generation techniques,=

Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely related pr=
ogramming styles that are becoming ever more important with the advent of a=
dvanced HPC technology and the ever increasing requirement for our applicat=
ions to run on the web or on collaborating mobile devices. A number of publ=
ications on middleware and language design =97 so-called reactive and event=
-based languages and systems (REBLS) =97 have already seen the light, but t=
he field still raises several questions. For example, the interaction with =
mainstream language concepts is poorly understood, implementation technolog=
y is in its infancy and modularity mechanisms are almost totally lacking. M=
oreover, large applications are still to be developed and patterns and tool=
s for developing reactive applications is an area that is vastly unexplored=
.

Yukionri Sato, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
- Abstract:
The increased complexity of parallel applications on modern parallel platfo=
rms (e.g. multicore/manycore, distributed or hybrid) requires more insight =
into development processes, and necessitates the use of advanced methods an=
d techniques supporting developers in creating parallel applications or par=
allelizing and reengineering sequential legacy applications. We aim to adva=
nce the state of the art in different phases of parallel software developme=
nt, covering software engineering aspects such as requirements engineering =
and software specification; design and implementation; program analysis, pr=
ofiling and tuning; testing and debugging.

We should learn from the past =96 to use what we learn for the next problem=
. What can we learn from the experiences of Y2K? There are some lessons abo=
ut software design and software maintenance that we might apply to the next=
wave of software and technology:
Y2K bugs: In the late 1990s, software developers and managers were furiousl=
y working to analyze and fix potential =93Y2K bugs.=94 We all knew that the=
re were software applications that might fail on January 1, 2000, but no on=
e was sure how we would manage to fix all of these defects in time.
Today=92s =93smart=94 technologies: Fifteen years later, we are at the thre=
shold of a new era of software =96 smart phones, wearable technology, digit=
al currency, smart automobiles, smart power grids, smart appliances. How sh=
ould we prepare for this wave? Should we be thinking ahead, should we be an=
ticipating some of the potential risks and latent defects in our smart appl=
ications and smart support software for a software-driven future world?
What advances in software analysis, design, coding, and testing will we nee=
d to do reduce our exposure to defects, unintended side effects, and malici=
ous mischief? We might look to the past =96 to the biggest concentrated eff=
ort to clean up and modernize software on a worldwide scale. Are there some=
lessons we can learn from =93Y2K remediation activities=94 of the 1990s?

WODA - 13th International Workshop on Dynamic Analysis
http://2015.splashcon.org/track/woda2015
- Deadlines:
Papers: August 7, 2015
- Organizers:
Harry Xu, University of California, Irvine, USA
Walter Binder, University of Lugano, Switzerland
Yudi Zheng, University of Lugano, Switzerland
- Abstract:
Dynamic analysis is widely used in software development to understand vario=
us run-time properties of a program. Dynamic analysis includes both offline=
techniques, which operate on some captured representation of the program's=
behavior (e.g., a trace), and run-time techniques, which analyze the behav=
ior on the fly, while the system is executing. Although inherently incomple=
te, dynamic analyses can be more precise than their static counterparts and=
show promise in aiding the understanding, development, and maintenance of =
robust and reliable large scale systems. Moreover, the data they provide en=
able statistical inferences to be made about program behavior. Dynamic anal=
ysis is playing a central role in the understanding of applications and sys=
tems as we grapple with emerging challenges such as systemic runtime bloat,=
high energy consumption, and the explosion of Big Data. The overall goal o=
f WODA is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in all ar=
eas of dynamic analysis to discuss new issues, share results and ongoing wo=
rk, and foster collaborations. This workshop is a forum for researchers and=
practitioners interested in the intersection of compilers, programming lan=
guages, architecture, software engineering, systems, high-performance compu=
ting, performance engineering, machine learning, and data mining for addres=
sing software and system performance. The workshop focuses on developing an=
d studying analytic technologies (e.g., program analysis, statistical analy=
sis, machine learning, data mining, visualization) applied on various softw=
are or system artifacts (e.g., production systems, tests, program traces, s=
ystem logs) to address issues in software and system reliability, dependabi=
lity, performance, and scalability.

a given programming language. The
modeling language follows the domain abstractions and semantics, allowing =
developers to perceive themselves as working directly with domain concepts.=
Together with frameworks and platforms, DSM can automate a large portion o=
f software production. This automation
is possible because of domain-specificity: both the modeling language and =
code generators fit to the requirements of a narrowly defined domain, often=
inside one organization only.</div>

</div>
<div>- Abstract:</div>
<div>The Eclipse platform (http://www.eclipse.org) was originally designed =
for building integrated development environments for object-oriented applic=
ations. Over the years it has developed into a vibrant ecosystem of platfor=
ms, toolkits, libraries, modeling
frameworks, and tools that support various languages and programming style=
s. The goal of the ETX workshop is to bring together researchers and practi=
tioners to exchange ideas about potential new uses of Eclipse and how Eclip=
se technology can be leveraged,
improved, and/or extended for research and education. After succesful edit=
ions of the ETX workshop in 2003-2007, we revived the ETX workshop in 2014 =
and are now up for another edition. ETX 2015 invites original and unpublish=
ed contributions about potential
new uses of Eclipse and how Eclipse technology can be leveraged, improved,=
and/or extended for research and education.</div>

<div>- Abstract:</div>
<div>Mobile application usage and development is experiencing exponential g=
rowth. According to Gartner, by 2016 more than 200 billion total apps will =
have been downloaded. The mobile domain presents new challenges to software=
engineering. Mobile platforms are
rapidly changing, including diverse capabilities as GPS, sensors, and inpu=
t modes. Applications must be omni-channel and work on all platforms.</div>
<div>Activated on mobile platforms, modern applications must be elastic and=
scale on demand according to the hardware abilities. Applications often ne=
ed 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) policies br=
ing new security data leaks challenges. Developing such applications requir=
es suitable practices and tools e.g., architecture techniques that relate t=
o the complexity at hand; improved
refactoring tools for hybrid applications using dynamic languages and poly=
glot development and applications; and testing techniques for applications =
that run on different devices. This workshop aims at establishing a communi=
ty of researchers and practitioners
to share their work and lead further research in the mobile development ar=
ea.</div>

</div>
<div>- Abstract:</div>
<div>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 langu=
age tools. The supposed benefits of such languages and tools cover a large =
space, including making programs easier to read, write, and maintain; allow=
ing programmers to write more flexible
and powerful programs; and restricting programs to make them more safe and=
secure. PLATEAU gathers the intersection of researchers in the programming=
language, programming tool, and human-computer interaction communities to =
share their research and discuss
the future of evaluation and usability of programming languages and tools.=

s. For the purpose of this workshop
``parsing=92=92 is a computation that takes a sequence of characters as in=
put and produces a syntax tree or graph as output. This possibly includes t=
okenization using regular expressions, deriving trees using context- free g=
rammars, and mapping to abstract syntax
trees. The goal is to bring together today=92s experts in the field of par=
sing, in order to explore open questions and possibly forge new collaborati=
ons. The topics may include algorithms, implementation and generation techn=
iques, syntax and semantics of meta
formalisms (BNF), etc.</div>

<div>Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely relat=
ed programming styles that are becoming ever more important with the advent=
of advanced HPC technology and the ever increasing requirement for our app=
lications to run on the web or on
collaborating mobile devices. A number of publications on middleware and l=
anguage design =97 so-called reactive and event-based languages and systems=
(REBLS) =97 have already seen the light, but the field still raises severa=
l questions. For example, the interaction
with mainstream language concepts is poorly understood, implementation tec=
hnology is in its infancy and modularity mechanisms are almost totally lack=
ing. Moreover, large applications are still to be developed and patterns an=
d tools for developing reactive
applications is an area that is vastly unexplored.</div>

<div>- Abstract:</div>
<div>Dynamic analysis is widely used in software development to understand =
various run-time properties of a program. Dynamic analysis includes both of=
fline techniques, which operate on some captured representation of the prog=
ram's behavior (e.g., a trace),
and run-time techniques, which analyze the behavior on the fly, while the =
system is executing. Although inherently incomplete, dynamic analyses can b=
e more precise than their static counterparts and show promise in aiding th=
e understanding, development, and
maintenance of robust and reliable large scale systems. Moreover, the data=
they provide enable statistical inferences to be made about program behavi=
or. Dynamic analysis is playing a central role in the understanding of appl=
ications and systems as we grapple
with emerging challenges such as systemic runtime bloat, high energy consu=
mption, and the explosion of Big Data. The overall goal of WODA is to bring=
together researchers and practitioners working in all areas of dynamic ana=
lysis to discuss new issues, share
results and ongoing work, and foster collaborations. This workshop is a fo=
rum for researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of com=
pilers, programming languages, architecture, software engineering, systems,=
high-performance computing, performance
engineering, machine learning, and data mining for addressing software and=
system performance. The workshop focuses on developing and studying analyt=
ic technologies (e.g., program analysis, statistical analysis, machine lear=
ning, data mining, visualization)
applied on various software or system artifacts (e.g., production systems,=
tests, program traces, system logs) to address issues in software and syst=
em reliability, dependability, performance, and scalability.</div>
