SLATE 2016 - Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies

http://slate-conf.org/2016

20th and 21st June, 2016
University of Maribor, Slovenia
--------------------------------------------------------------------

We often use languages. First, to communicate between ourselves.
Later, to communicate with computers. And more recently, with the
advent of networks, we found a way to make computers communicate
between themselves. All these different forms of communication use
languages, different languages, but that still share many similarities.
In SLATE we are interested in discussing these languages.

Being languages such a broad subject, SLATE is organized in three
main tracks:

* HHL Track: Processing Human-Human Languages
(chair: Hugo Gonçalo Oliveira)

HHL is a forum dedicated to the discussion of research projects
and ideas involving natural language processing and their industrial
application.

Topics of interest in this area are:

- Computational morphology, syntax and semantics;
- Machine translation and tools for computer assisted translation;
- Computational terminology and lexicography;
- Speech synthesis and recognition;
- Information retrieval, extraction and automatic question answering;
- Corpora linguistics;
- NLP system and resources evaluation;
- Public tools and resources for NLP;
- Ontologies and knowledge representation;
- Statistical Methods applied to NLP;
- Language teaching support tools.


* HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Languages
(chair: Marjan Mernik)

HCL is a forum where researchers, developers, educators exchange
ideas and information on the latest academic or industrial work on
language design, processing, assessment and applications.

Topics of interest in this area are:

- Programming language concepts and methodologies;
- Language and Grammars, design, formal specification and quality;
- Design of novel language constructs and their implementation;
- Domain Specific Languages design and implementation;
- Programming tools;
- Programming, refactoring and debugging environments;
- Dynamic and static analysis: Program Slicing;
- Program Comprehension;
- Compilation and interpretation techniques;
- Code generation and optimization;
- Program visualization and animation;
- Programming languages teaching methods;


* CCL Track: Processing Computer-Computer Languages
(chair: José Paulo Leal)

CCL main goal is to provide a broad space for discussion about the

Topics of interest in this area are:

- Semantic Web and Ontologies;
- Methodologies for specification in XML
- XML compression, serialization and merging
- XML Parsing and Querying;
- XML Structuring
- XML Transformation
- XML Security
- Web Services -- Architectures and Practical Cases
- Web Technologies and Frameworks
- XML Libraries and digital repositories
- E-learning systems, standards and interoperability
- Serialization languages
