llvm dev - Apr 2016 - Managed Languages Conference: PPPJ 2016 Call for Papers

PPPJ '16
13th International Conference on Principles and Practices of Programming on the
Java Platform: Virtual Machines, Languages, and Tools

PPPJ '16 is a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss
novel results on all aspects of managed languages and their runtime systems,
including virtual machines, tools, methods, frameworks, libraries, case studies,
and experience reports. Managed languages and runtime systems of interest
include, but are not limited to, Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, C#, F#,
Clojure, Groovy, Kotlin, R, Java VM, Dalvik VM and Android Runtime (ART), LLVM,
.NET CLR, RPython.

RPython, etc.)
- VM design and optimization
- VMs for mobile and embedded devices
- Real-time VMs
- Isolation and resource control

Languages
- Managed languages (Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, Ruby C#, F#, Clojure,
Groovy, Kotlin, R, 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
- Testing
- Verification
- Monitoring and debugging
- Security and information flow
- Workload characterization and performance evaluation


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUBMISSIONS

PPPJ '16 accepts three types of paper submissions:
- Regular research paper: up to 12 pages
- Work-in-progress paper: up to 6 pages
- Industry and tool paper: up to 6 pages

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.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOCATION

PPPJ '16 will be part of the MANAGED LANGUAGES & RUNTIMES WEEK 2016, a
premier forum for presenting and discussing innovations and breakthroughs in the
area of programming languages and runtime systems.

Managed Languages & Runtimes Week '16 features three international
academic and industry venues for the first time:

- PPPJ '16 - 13th International Conference on Principles and Practices of
Programming on the Java Platform: Virtual Machines, Languages, and Tools.
- JTRES '16 - 14th International Workshop on Java Technologies for Real-time
and Embedded Systems - A workshop for researchers working on real-time and
embedded Java with the goal of identifying the challenging problems that still
need to be solved in order to assure the success of real-time Java as a
technology and reporting results and experience.
- VMM '16 - 3rd Virtual Machine Meetup - A venue for discussing the latest
research and developments in the area of managed language execution.

Managed Languages & Runtimes Week '16 will be hosted by the Faculty of
Informatics of University of Lugano (USI) from August 29 to September 2, 2016.

Hi Andrea,

Please do not advertise for general compiler conferences on LLVM mailing lists,
unless they are specifically focused on LLVM itself.  We have the same policy
for job postings.  Thanks,

-Chris
