SLATE 2019 - Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (http://www.slate-conf.org)
27th - 28th June 2019
University of Coimbra (Portugal)
########## Symposium introduction and tracks information ##########
We often use languages. First, to communicate between ourselves. Later, to communicate with computers. And more recently, with the advent of networks, we found a way to make computers communicate between themselves. All these different forms of communication use languages, different languages, but that still share many similarities. In SLATE we are interested in discussing these languages, organized in three main tracks:
1) HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Languages, where researchers, developers and educators exchange ideas and information on the latest academic or industrial work on language design, processing, assessment and applications.
2) CCL Track: Processing Computer-Computer Languages, a broad space for discussing (mark-up) languages for communication between computers, including those used for visualization and presentation of information to the end user.
3) HHL Track: Processing Human-Human Languages, dedicated to the presentation and discussion of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools and applications.
A detailed list of topics for each track is presented below.
HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Languages
- Programming language concepts, methodologies and tools;
- Language and Grammars, design, formal specification and quality;
- Design of novel language constructs and their implementation;
- Domain Specific Languages design and implementation;

- Dynamic and static analysis: Program Slicing;
- Program Comprehension;
- Compilation and interpretation techniques;
- Code generation and optimization;
- Program visualization and animation;
- Programming languages teaching methods;
- Languages for modeling;
- Dynamic languages;

- Cross-fertilization of different technological spaces (modelware, grammarware,
ontologies, etc).

########## SLATE Publication Policy ##########
Paper types:
Full papers: 10 to 14 pages, complete work, including validation or discussion of results, to be orally presented in 20+5 minutes;
Short papers - 6 to 8 pages, ongoing work, well anchored in the literature, but not yet fully validated, to be orally presented in 10+5 minutes;
As in previous editions, all accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, on digital support, by the OASIcs series —- http://www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/oasics/ -— in open access mode, under an ISBN reference and a DOI, and will thus be indexed by services such as Scopus and DBLP.
Papers should be written in English, using the OASIcs LaTeX template. Please refer to the conference website (http://slate-conf.org/2019/submissions) for details on the document preparation.
