CALL FOR PAPERS - ManLang '17

14th International Conference on Managed Languages & Runtimes (ManLang, formerly PPPJ)

September 25-29, 2017, Prague, Czech Republic

http://d3s.mff.cuni.cz/conferences/manlang17/


Sponsored by Charles University and Oracle Labs
In-cooperation with ACM SIGAPP and SIGPLAN

ManLang is a premier forum for presenting and discussing innovations and breakthroughs in the area of programming languages and runtime systems, which form the basis of many modern computing systems, from small scale (embedded and real-time systems) to large-scale (cloud-computing and big-data platforms).

TOPICS

 Virtual machines
Managed runtime systems (JVM, Dalvik VM and Android Runtime (ART), LLVM, .NET CLR, RPython, etc.)
VM design and optimization
 VMs for mobile and embedded devices
 VMs for real-time applications
Isolation and resource control
Memory management
Languages
Managed languages (Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, C#, F#, Clojure, Groovy, Kotlin, R, Smalltalk, Racket, etc.)
Domain-specific languages
Language design and calculi
Compilers
Language interoperability
Parallelism and concurrency
Modular and aspect-oriented programming
Model-driven development
Frameworks and applications
Teaching
Techniques and tools
Static and dynamic program analysis
Real-time systems
Embedded systems
Testing
Verification
Monitoring and debugging
Security and information flow
Workload characterization and performance evaluation

Do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair (Shigeru Chiba (chiba@acm.org)) to clarify if a particular topic falls within the scope of ManLang '17.

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission deadline: June 23, 2017
Submission deadline: June 26, 2017
Author notification: August 7, 2017
Camera-ready papers deadline: August 21, 2017

SUBMISSIONS
ManLang '17 accepts four types of submissions:
 Regular research paper:
up to 12 pages
Work-in-progress paper: up to 6 pages
Industry and tool paper: up to 6 pages
Poster (standalone or accompanying paper submission)

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the ACM Digital Library.

Research papers will be judged on their relevance, novelty, technical rigor, and contribution to the state-of-the-art. For work-in-progress research papers, more emphasis will be placed on novelty and the potential of the new idea than on technical rigor and experimental results. Industry and tool papers will be judged on their relevance, usefulness, and results. Suitability for demonstration and availability will also be considered for tool papers. Posters can accompany any submission, in particular to provide additional demonstration and discussion opportunities. Criteria for standalone posters will be similar to criteria for short papers.
