We especially invite submissions in the following areas: + Parallel and distributed computing + Code generation for multi-core architectures + Code generation for HTM + Large and ultra-large systems + Optimization techniques + Embedded applications Contributions are also welcome in other areas, including but not limited to: + Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming + Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches + Language design and implementation + Language integration, inter-operation and deployment + Development methodologies, support and environments + Educational approaches and perspectives + Experience reports and case studies Technical Program: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We invite submissions in the following forms: * Papers: Technical papers of up to 15 pages that describe original results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways. * Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations of tools, libraries, and applications. * Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to 180 minutes. * Lightning talks: Abstracts of up to one page for talks to last for no more than 5 minutes. All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998 Submissions should be uploaded to Easy Chair, at the following address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=els2011 Programme Chair ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Didier Verna - EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, France Local Chair ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ralf Moeller - Hamburg University of Technology, Germany Programme Committee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Antonio Leitao - Instituto Superior Tecnico/INESC-ID, Portugal Christophe Rhodes - Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK David Edgar Liebke - Relevance Inc., USA Didier Verna - EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, France Henry Lieberman - MIT Media Laboratory, USA Jay McCarthy - Brigham Young University, USA Jose Luis Ruiz Reina - Universidad de Sevilla, Spain Marco Antoniotti - Universita Milano Bicocca, Italy Manuel Serrano - INRIA, France Michael Sperber - DeinProgramm, Germany Pascal Costanza - Vrije Universiteit of Brussel, Belgium Scott McKay - ITA Software, USA -- Resistance is futile.

ACCU 2011

by Didier Verna

Hello, I'm please to announce that I will be giving a 90 minutes session at the next ACCU conference, in Oxford. The abstract is given below: Meta-circularity... and vice-versa As complexity increases, one often feels limited by the use of a single language, and incorporates new technology in order to express the original problem more abstractly, more precisely, and design solutions more efficiently. Using better-suited languages also has the advantage of letting you think about your problem in new and different ways, perhaps ways that you had not thought of before. It is thus no surprise to see the profusion of new languages that we face today, notably scripting and domain-specific ones. But then, why the need for all this new and different technology? Wouldn't it be better if your primary language could evolve the way you want it to? And why is it not generally possible? Perhaps, because your primary language is not really extensible... Meta-linguistic abstraction, that is, the art of language design plays a capital role in computer science because we have the ability to actually implement the languages we design, for instance by creating interperters for them. A fundamental idea in this context is that an interpreter is just another program (by extension, one could argue that any program is an interpreter for a particular language). In this session, we will revive a historical moment in computer science: the birth of meta-circularity. When, in 1958, John McCarthy invented Lisp, he hadn't foreseen that given the core 7 operators of the language, it was possible to write Lisp in itself, by way of an interpreter. The practical implication of meta-circularity is that a meta-circular language gives you direct control over the semantics of the language itself, and as a consequence, means to modify or extend it. No wonder, then, why lispers never felt the need for external DSLs, scripting languages, XML or whatever. The reason is that Lisp, being extensible, can do all that by itself. Lisp is, by essence, the "programmable programming language". -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated. El Didou

Séminaire Performance et Généricité du LRDE le Mercredi 8 décembre 2010

by Jonathan Fabrizio

Chers collègues, La prochaine session du séminaire Performance et Généricité du LRDE (Laboratoire de Recherche et Développement de l'EPITA) aura lieu le Mercredi 8 décembre 2010 (14h-16h30). Au programme: * 14h: PHP.Reboot: un language de script utilisant la JSR 292 -- Rémi Forax Depuis 2000, on assiste à un regain d'intérêt pour les langages typés dynamiquement regroupés sous la bannière "langage de script". Pour les langages de script les plus populaires, comme PHP, Python ou Ruby, il existe, en plus des implantations écrites en C, des implantations plus récentes utilisant des environnements comme la machine virtuelle Java (JVM) ou la plateforme .Net. Ces implantations sont souvent plus efficaces que les implantations historiques, pourtant, ces environnements d'exécution utilisent des langages intermédiaires typés statiquement qui sont peu propices à l'implantation de langage typé dynamiquement. Partant de ce constat, le Java Community Process a créé la JSR 292 intitulée "Supporting Dynamically Typed Languages on the JavaTM Platform" dont le but est de proposer une API facilitant l'implantation et les performances des langages de script sur une machine virtuelle Java. Mon exposé se compose de deux parties. Dans un premier temps, en tant que membre du groupe d'experts, j'essaierai de restituer de façon didactique les concepts introduits par la JSR 292 en expliquant les tenants et les aboutissants. La seconde partie, plus personnelle, montrera comment développer l'environnement d'exécution d'un langage de script en utilisant les outils fournis par la JSR 292. Je m'appuierai pour cela sur un prototype de langage que j'ai développé et nommé PHP.reboot. -- Rémi Forax est, depuis 2003, maître de conférence à l'université Paris Est Marne-la-Vallée au sein du Laboratoire Informatique Gaspard Monge (LIGM). Ses travaux de recherche sont centrés sur la conception de compilateurs et d'environnements d'exécution basée sur des machines virtuelles. Pour plus de renseignements, consultez http://seminaire.lrde.epita.fr/. L'entrée du séminaire est libre. Merci de bien vouloir diffuser cette information le plus largement possible.
