---------------------------
SLE covers software language engineering in general, rather than
engineering a specific software language. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:
* Software Language Design and Implementation
- Approaches to and methods for language design
- Static semantics (e.g., design rules, well-formedness constraints)
- Techniques for specifying behavioral/executable semantics
- Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation)
- Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches
* Validation of Software Language Tools and Implementations
- Verification and formal methods for language tools and implementations

- Simulation techniques for language tools and implementations
* Software Language Maintenance
- Software language reuse
- Language evolution
- Language families and variability, language and software product lines
* Software Language Integration and Composition
- Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools
- Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages)
- Traceability between languages
- Deployment of languages to different platforms
* Domain-Specific Approaches for Any Aspects of SLE (analysis, design,
implementation, validation, maintenance)
* Empirical Studies and Experience Reports of Tools
- User studies evaluating usability
- Performance benchmarks
- Industrial applications
* Synergies between Language Engineering and Emerging/Promising Research Areas
- AI and ML language engineering (e.g., ML compiler testing, code
classification)
- Quantum language engineering (e.g., language design for quantum machines)
- Language engineering for cyber-physical systems, IoT, digital twins, etc.
- Socio-technical systems and language engineering (e.g., language
evolution to adapt to social requirements)
- Etc.
---------------------------
Types of Submissions
---------------------------
SLE accepts the following types of papers:
Research papers: These are “traditional” papers detailing research
contributions to SLE. Papers may range from 6 to 12 pages in length
and may optionally include 2 further pages of bibliography/appendices.
Papers will be reviewed with an understanding that some results do not
need 12 full pages and may be fully described in fewer pages.
New ideas/vision papers: These papers may describe new, unconventional
software language engineering research positions or approaches that
depart from standard practice. They can describe well-defined research
ideas that are at an early stage of investigation. They could also
provide new evidence to challenge common wisdom, present new unifying
theories about existing SLE research that provides novel insight or
that can lead to the development of new technologies or approaches, or
apply SLE technology to radically new application areas. New
ideas/vision papers must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include
1 further page of bibliography/appendices.
SLE Body of Knowledge: The SLE Body of Knowledge (SLEBoK) is a
community-wide effort to provide a unique and comprehensive
description of the concepts, best practices, tools, and methods
developed by the SLE community. These papers can focus on, but are not
limited to, methods, techniques, best practices, and teaching
approaches. Papers in this category can have up to 20 pages, including
bibliography/appendices.
Tool papers: These papers focus on the tooling aspects often forgotten
or neglected in research papers. A good tool paper focuses on
practical insights that will likely be useful to other implementers or
users in the future. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate
areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages and
may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography/appendices. They
may optionally include an appendix with a demo outline/screenshots
and/or a short video/screencast illustrating the tool.
**Workshops**: Workshops will be organized by SPLASH. Please inform us
and contact the SPLASH organizers if you would like to organize a
workshop of interest to the SLE audience. Information on how to submit
workshops can be found on the SPLASH 2024 Website.
---------------------------
Submission
---------------------------
SLE 2024 has a single submission round for papers, including a
rebuttal phase, where all authors of research papers will have the
possibility of responding to the reviews on their submissions.
Authors of accepted research papers will be invited to submit artifacts.

and font sizes in figures and tables are legible.
To increase fairness in reviewing, a double-blind review process has
become standard across SIGPLAN conferences. Accordingly, SLE will
follow the double-blind process. Author names and institutions must be
omitted from submitted papers, and references to the authors’ own
related work should be in the third person. No other changes are
necessary, and authors will not be penalized if reviewers are able to
infer their identities in implicit ways.
All submissions must be in PDF format. The submission website is:
https://sle24.hotcrp.com
---------------------------
Concurrent Submissions
---------------------------
Papers must describe unpublished work that is not currently submitted
for publication elsewhere as described by SIGPLAN’s Republication
Policy (https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/)

## Onward! @ SPLASH 2023 – Call for Papers & Essays
https://2023.splashcon.org/track/splash-2023-Onward-papers
https://2023.splashcon.org/track/splash-2023-Onward-Essays
### Important dates
- *Fri 28 Apr 2023*: submission deadline
- Wed 21 Jun 2023: first round notifications
- Fri 21 Jul 2023: revision due
- Fri 11 Aug 2023: final notification
- Sun 10 Sep 2023: camera ready deadline
Submission site Onward! Papers: https://onward23papers.hotcrp.com/
Submission site Onward! Essays https://onward23essays.hotcrp.com/
For additional information, clarification, or answers to questions please contact the PC chairs at onward(a)splashcon.org.
Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, communities and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary and more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet fully proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching and reporting on programming language and software engineering research.
### Onward! Papers
Onward! Papers is looking for grand visions and new paradigms that could make a big difference in how we will one day build software. But it is not looking for research-as-usual papers; conferences like OOPSLA are the place for that. Those conferences require rigorous validation such as theorems or empirical experiments, which are necessary for scientific progress, but which typically preclude discussion of early-stage ideas. Onward! papers must also supply some degree of validation because mere speculation is not a good basis for progress. However, Onward! accepts less rigorous methods of validation such as compelling arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial examples. The use of worked-out examples to support new ideas is strongly encouraged.
### Onward! Essays
Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community. An essay can be long or short. An essay can be an exploration of the topic and its impact, or a story about the circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps the one the author took to reach an understanding of the topic. The subject area—software, programming, and programming languages—should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings.

CfP: Journal of Systems and Software - Special Issue on Software Language Engineering
by Andrei Chis 13 Jan '23
by Andrei Chis 13 Jan '23
13 Jan '23
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions for the Journal of Systems and Software Special
Issue on «Software Language Engineering». This special issue is
related to the 2022 edition of the Software Language Engineering
Conference (https://2022.splashcon.org/home/sle-2022?) but **it is
open to all authors.**
Details follow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Journal of Systems and Software
Software Language Engineering Special Issue
Guest Editors
● Lola Burgueño, University of Malaga, Spain
● Walter Cazzola, Professor, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy
● Dimitris Kolovos, Professor, University of York, United Kingdom
Special issue information:
With the ubiquity of computers, software has become the dominating
intellectual asset of our time. In turn, this software depends on
software languages, namely the languages it is written in, the
languages used to describe its environment, and the languages driving
its development process. Given that everything depends on software and
that software depends on software languages, it seems fair to say that
for many years to come, everything will depend on software languages.
Software language engineering (SLE) is the discipline of engineering
languages and their tools required for the creation of software. It
abstracts from the differences between programming languages, modeling
languages, and other software languages, and emphasizes the
engineering facet of the creation of such languages, that is, the
establishment of the scientific methods and practices that enable the
best results. While SLE is certainly driven by its meta-circular
character (software languages are engineered using software
languages), SLE is not self-satisfying: its scope extends to the
engineering of languages for all and everything.
This special issue will represent a further step in identification,
definition and tooling of software languages.
Topics of interest related to the special issue, but are not limited to:
● Software Language Design and Implementation
○ Approaches to and methods for language design
○ Static semantics (e.g. design rules, well-formedness constraints)
○ Techniques for specifying behavioral / executable semantics
○ Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation)
○ Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches
● Software Language Validation
○ Verification and formal methods for languages
○ Testing techniques for languages
○ Simulation techniques for languages
● Software Language Integration and Composition
○ Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools
○ Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages)
○ Traceability between languages
○ Deployment of languages to different platforms
● Software Language Maintenance
○ Software language reuse
○ Language evolution
○ Language families and variability, language and software product lines
○ Domain-specific approaches for any aspects of SLE (design,
implementation, validation, maintenance)
● Empirical evaluation and experience reports of language engineering tools
○ User studies evaluating usability
○ Performance benchmarks
○ Industrial applications
● Synergies between Language Engineering and emerging/promising research areas
○ AI and ML language engineering (e.g., ML compiler testing, code
classification)
○ Quantum language engineering (e.g., language design for quantum machines)
● Language engineering for physical systems (e.g., CPS, IoT, digital twins)
○ Socio-technical systems and language engineering (e.g., language
evolution to adapt to social requirements)

- Etc.
---------------------------
Types of Submissions
---------------------------
SLE accepts the following types of papers:
- **Research papers**: These are "traditional" papers detailing
research contributions to SLE. Papers may range from 6 to 12 pages in
length, and may optionally include 2 further pages of
bibliography/appendices. Papers will be reviewed with an understanding
that some results do not need 12 full pages and may be fully described
in fewer pages.
- **New ideas / vision papers**: These are papers that may describe
new, unconventional software language engineering research positions
or approaches that depart from standard practice. They can describe
well-defined research ideas that are at an early stage of
investigation. They could also provide new evidence to challenge
common wisdom, present new unifying theories about existing SLE
research that provides novel insight or that can lead to the
development of new technologies or approaches, or apply SLE technology
to radically new application areas. New ideas / vision papers must not
exceed 5 pages, and may optionally include 1 further page of
bibliography / appendices.
- **SLE Body of Knowledge**: The SLE Body of Knowledge (SLEBoK) is a
community-wide effort to provide a unique and comprehensive
description of the concepts, best practices, tools and methods
developed by the SLE community. To this respect, the SLE conference
will accept surveys, essays, open challenges, empirical observations
and case study papers on the SLE topics. These can focus on but they
are not limited to methods, techniques, best practices and teaching
approaches. Papers in this category can have up to 20 pages, including
bibliography/appendices.
- **Tool papers**: These are papers which focus on the tooling aspects
which are often forgotten or neglected in research papers. A good tool
paper focuses on practical insights that are likely to be useful to
other implementers or users in the future. Any of the SLE topics of
interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions
must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include 1 further page of
bibliography / appendices. They may optionally come with an appendix
with a demo outline / screenshots and/or a short video/screencast
illustrating the tool.
**Workshops**: Workshops will be organized by SPLASH. Please inform us
and contact the SPLASH organizers if you would like to organize a
workshop of interest to the SLE audience. Information on how to submit
workshops can be found at the SPLASH 2022 Website.

---------------------------
Types of Submissions
---------------------------
SLE accepts the following types of papers:
- **Research papers**: These are "traditional" papers detailing research contributions to SLE. Papers may range from 6 to 12 pages in length, and may optionally include 2 further pages of bibliography/appendices. Papers will be reviewed with an understanding that some results do not need 12 full pages and may be fully described in fewer pages.
- **New ideas / vision papers**: These are papers that may describe new, unconventional software language engineering research positions or approaches that depart from standard practice. They can describe well-defined research ideas that are at an early stage of investigation. They could also provide new evidence to challenge common wisdom, present new unifying theories about existing SLE research that provides novel insight or that can lead to the development of new technologies or approaches, or apply SLE technology to radically new application areas. New ideas / vision papers must not exceed 5 pages, and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography / appendices.
- **SLE Body of Knowledge**: The SLE Body of Knowledge (SLEBoK) is a community-wide effort to provide a unique and comprehensive description of the concepts, best practices, tools and methods developed by the SLE community. To this respect, the SLE conference will accept surveys, essays, open challenges, empirical observations and case study papers on the SLE topics. These can focus on but they are not limited to methods, techniques, best practices and teaching approaches. Papers in this category can have up to 20 pages, including bibliography/appendices.
- **Tool papers**: These are papers which focus on the tooling aspects which are often forgotten or neglected in research papers. A good tool paper focuses on practical insights that are likely to be useful to other implementers or users in the future. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography / appendices. They may optionally come with an appendix with a demo outline / screenshots and/or a short video/screencast illustrating the tool.
**Workshops**: Workshops will be organized by SPLASH. Please inform us and contact the SPLASH organizers if you would like to organize a workshop of interest to the SLE audience. Information on how to submit workshops can be found at the SPLASH 2022 Website.
---------------------------
Two submission rounds
---------------------------
For the first time, SLE is introducing a two-phase submission and review process. This will give authors submitting to the first round an extra opportunity to improve their work (if needed) based on the comments and feedback by the reviewers. Furthermore, this will increase the quality of SLE accepted papers.
Manuscripts can be submitted to any of the two submission rounds.
Decisions on the papers submitted to the **first round** will be: accept, reject or re-submit revised version. While rejected papers must not, revised versions may be submitted to the second round, with an accompanying response letter to the reviewers stating the changes made and how the authors addressed the reviewers’ criticisms. Re-submissions will be reviewed by the same reviewers.
Decisions on fresh papers submitted to the **second round** will be: accept or reject. The authors of those papers that are likely to be rejected but have at least one reviewer who is championing it will have the chance to respond to the reviewers before the final decision is made.

CFP: SLE 2021 - 14th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering
by Andrei Chis 13 May '21

------------------------------------------------------------------------
14th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering
(SLE 2021)
October 17-19, 2021
Chicago, Illinois
https://conf.researchr.org/home/sle-2021

------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the 14th ACM SIGPLAN
International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2021), held
in conjunction with SPLASH, GPCE and SAS 2021. Based on the future
developments the conference will be hosted in Chicago, Illinois, United
States on October 17-19, 2021 or will be held as a virtual event.
---------------------------
Scope
---------------------------
The ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering
(SLE) is devoted to the principles of software languages: their design,
their implementation, and their evolution.
With the ubiquity of computers, software has become the dominating
intellectual asset of our time. In turn, this software depends on software
languages, namely the languages it is written in, the languages used to
describe its environment, and the languages driving its development
process. Given that everything depends on software and that software
depends on software languages, it seems fair to say that for many years to
come, everything will depend on software languages.
Software language engineering (SLE) is the discipline of engineering
languages and their tools required for the creation of software. It
abstracts from the differences between programming languages, modelling
languages, and other software languages, and emphasizes the engineering
facet of the creation of such languages, that is, the establishment of the
scientific methods and practices that enable the best results. While SLE is
certainly driven by its metacircular character (software languages are
engineered using software languages), SLE is not self-satisfying: its scope
extends to the engineering of languages for all and everything.
Like its predecessors, the 14th edition of the SLE conference, SLE 2021,
will bring together researchers from different areas united by their common
interest in the creation, capture, and tooling of software languages. It
overlaps with traditional conferences on the design and implementation of
programming languages, model-driven engineering, and compiler construction,
and emphasizes the fusion of their communities. To foster the latter, SLE
traditionally fills a two-day program with a single track, with the only
temporal overlap occurring between co-located events.
---------------------------
Topics of Interest
---------------------------
SLE 2021 solicits high-quality contributions in areas ranging from
theoretical and conceptual contributions, to tools, techniques, and
frameworks in the domain of software language engineering. Broadly
speaking, SLE covers software language engineering rather than engineering
a specific software language. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* Software Language Design and Implementation
- Approaches to and methods for language design
- Static semantics (e.g., design rules, well-formedness constraints)
- Techniques for specifying behavioral / executable semantics
- Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation)
- Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches
* Software Language Validation
- Verification and formal methods for languages
- Testing techniques for languages
- Simulation techniques for languages
* Software Language Integration and Composition
- Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools
- Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages)
- Traceability between languages
- Deployment of languages to different platforms
* Software Language Maintenance
- Software language reuse
- Language evolution
- Language families and variability
* Domain-specific approaches for any aspects of SLE (design,
implementation, validation, maintenance)
* Empirical evaluation and experience reports of language engineering tools
- User studies evaluating usability
- Performance benchmarks
- Industrial applications
---------------------------

---------------------------
Types of Submissions
---------------------------
SLE 2021 solicits three types of papers:
* Research papers
These are "traditional" papers detailing research contributions to SLE.
These papers have a limit of 12 pages, and may optionally include 8 further
pages of bibliography/appendices
* Tool papers
These are papers which focus on the tooling aspects which are often
forgotten or neglected in research papers. A good tool paper focuses on
practical insights that are likely to be useful to other implementers or
users in the future. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate
areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages and may
optionally include 1 further page of bibliography / appendices. They may
optionally come with an appendix with a demo outline / screenshots and/or a
short video/screencast illustrating the tool. The title of a Tool paper
must start with "Tool Demo:".
*New ideas / vision papers
These are papers on forward-looking, innovative research in software
language engineering. Our aim here is to accelerate the exposure of the
software language engineering community to early yet potentially
ground-breaking research results, or to techniques and perspectives that
challenge the status quo in the discipline. New ideas / vision papers must
not exceed 5 pages, and may optionally include 1 further page of
bibliography / appendices. The title of a new ideas / vision papers must
start with "New Ideas:" or "Vision:".
---------------------------
Artifact Evaluation
---------------------------
For the sixth year, SLE will use an evaluation process for assessing the
quality of the artifacts on which papers are based to foster the culture of
experimental reproducibility. Authors of accepted papers are invited to
submit artifacts. For more information, please have a look at the Artifact
Evaluation page (http://www.sleconf.org/2021/ArtifactEvaluation.html)
