CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS

Fourth Workshop on
Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation
October 31, 2016
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Co-located with SPLASH

*********************************************************************
Deadline for talk proposals: August 1, 2016
*** Workshop Goal ***
Well-designed and implemented domain-specific languages (DSLs) can achieve
both
usability and performance benefits over general-purpose programming
languages.
By raising the level of abstraction and exploiting domain knowledge, DSLs
can
make programming more accessible, increase programmer productivity, and
support
domain-specific optimizations.
The goal of the DSLDI workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners interested in discussing how DSLs should be designed,
implemented, supported by tools, and applied in realistic contexts. The
focus
of the workshop is on all aspects of this process, from soliciting domain
knowledge from experts, through the design and implementation of the
language,
to evaluating whether and how a DSL is successful. More generally, we are
interested in continuing to build a community that can drive forward the
development of modern DSLs.
An additional goal of this year's workshop is to encourage discussion about
the
usability of DSLs, and to establish connections with researchers in related
areas, such as end-user software engineering, who have studied human
factors of
programming languages and tools.
*** Workshop Format ***
DSLDI is a single-day workshop and will consist of moderated audience
discussions structured around a series of talks. The role of the talks is to
facilitate interesting and substantive discussion. Therefore, we welcome and
encourage talks that express strong opinions, describe open problems,
propose
new research directions, and report on early research in progress.
Proposed talks should be on topics within DSLDI's area of interest, which
include but are not limited to:
* solicitation and representation of domain knowledge
* DSL design principles and processes
* DSL implementation techniques and language workbenches
* domain-specific optimizations
* human factors of DSLs
* tool support for DSL users
* community and educational support for DSL users
* applications of DSLs to existing and emerging domains
* studies of usability, performance, or other benefits of DSLs
* experience reports of DSLs deployed in practice
*** Call for Submissions ***
We solicit talk proposals in the form of short abstracts (max. 2 pages). A
good
talk proposal describes an interesting position, open problem,
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.
Publication of accepted abstracts and slides on the website is voluntary.

SPLASH-I: Innovation, Interaction, Insight, Industry, Invited
The ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and
Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) embraces all aspects of
software construction and delivery to make it the premier conference at the
intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. SPLASH
2016 will take place from Sunday, October 30 to Friday, November 4, 2016 in
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
SPLASH-I is the track of SPLASH dedicated to great talks on exciting
topics! SPLASH-I will run in parallel with all of SPLASH (during the week
days), and is open to all attendees. SPLASH-I will host both invited talks
and selected talks submitted via this call for proposals. SPLASH-I solicits
inspiring talks, tutorials and demonstrations on exciting topics related to
programming and programming systems, delivered by excellent speakers from
academia or industry.
SPLASH-I caters for three categories of presentations:
- Regular talks on programming languages, systems or concepts;
- Tutorials aimed at introducing particular tools, systems, or languages
- Demonstrations showing off cool programming technology.
All slots in SPLASH-I are 45 minutes.
Please submit proposals here: http://goo.gl/forms/FZqQwpd73G

SPLASH-I maintains two deadlines: 1st of June, and, if there are still
slots available, 1st of August.
