=======================================================
20th Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages

http://cbsoft.org/sblp2016/call-for-papers

The Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages is a well-established
symposium which provides a venue for researchers and practitioners
interested in the fundamental principles and innovations in the design and
implementation of programming languages and systems. SBLP 2016 will be held
in Maringá, in the Southern region of Brazil, and will be the 20th edition
of the symposium.


IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission: April 8th 2016

Paper submission: April 15th 2016

Author notification: May 27th 2016

Camera ready deadline: June 10th 2016

Authors are invited to submit original research on any relevant topic which
can be either in the form of regular or short papers.


TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Program generation and transformation, including domain-specific
languages, and model-driven development in the context of programming
languages.
- Programming paradigms and styles, including functional, object-oriented,
aspect-oriented, scripting languages, real-time, service-oriented,
multithreaded, parallel, and distributed programming.
- Formal semantics and theoretical foundations, including denotational,
operational, algebraic, and categorical.
- Program analysis and verification, including type systems, static
analysis, and abstract interpretation.
- Programming language design and implementation, including new programming
models, programming language environments, compilation, and interpretation
techniques.

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on the basis of its
originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality,
and relevance to the symposium. Contributions should be written in
Portuguese or English.

Papers should fall into one of two different categories: regular papers,
which can be up to 15 pages long in LNCS format, or short papers, with up
to 6 pages in LNCS format. Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at
an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly
evaluated. We encourage the submission of short papers reporting partial
results of on-going master dissertations or doctoral theses.

Accepted papers written in English will be published in a volume of Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), by Springer. Both regular and short
papers must be prepared using the LNCS format, available at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0.

Papers must be submitted electronically (in PDF format) via the Easychair
System: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2016.

As in previous editions, after the conference, authors of selected regular
papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to be
considered for publication in a journal special issue. Since 2009, selected
papers of each SBPL edition are being published in a special issue of
Science of Computer Programming, by Elsevier.
