======== DLS 2015 ===========
11th Dynamic Languages Symposium 2015
October, 2015
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
http://DLS2015.inria.fr
Co-located with SPLASH 2015
In association with ACM SIGPLAN
The 11th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at SPLASH 2015 is the
premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and
research on dynamic languages, their implementation, and
applications. The influence of dynamic languages -- from Lisp to
Smalltalk to Python to Javascript -- on real-world practice and
research continues to grow.
DLS 2015 invites high quality papers reporting original research,
innovative contributions, or experience related to dynamic languages,
their implementation, and applications. Accepted papers will be
published in the ACM Digital Library, and freely available for 2 weeks
before and after the event itself. Areas of interest include but are
not limited to:
Innovative language features and implementation techniques
Development and platform support, tools
Interesting applications
Domain-oriented programming
Very late binding, dynamic composition, and run-time adaptation
Reflection and meta-programming
Software evolution
Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages
Dynamic optimization
Hardware support
Experience reports and case studies
Educational approaches and perspectives
Semantics of dynamic languages
== Invited Speaker ==
DLS is pleased to announce a talk by the following invited speaker:
Eelco Visser: Declare your Language.
== Submissions and proceedings ==
Submissions should not have been published previously nor under review
at other events. Research papers should describe work that advances
the current state of the art. Experience papers should be of broad
interest and should describe insights gained from substantive
practical applications. The program committee will evaluate each
contributed paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity,
length, and originality.
Papers are to be submitted electronically at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=dls15 in PDF
format. Submissions must be in the ACM format (see
http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm) and not exceed 12
pages. Authors are reminded that brevity is a virtue.
DLS 2015 will run a two-phase reviewing process to help authors make
their final papers the best that they can be. After the first round of
reviews, papers will be rejected, conditionally accepted, or
unconditionally accepted. Conditionally accepted papers will be given
a list of issues raised by reviewers. Authors will then submit a
revised version of the paper with a cover letter explaining how they
have or why they have not addressed these issues. The reviewers will
then consider the cover letter and revised paper and recommend final
acceptance or rejection.
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

ACCU 2012 session on language extensibility
By Didier Verna on Tuesday, January 3 2012, 12:21 - Miscellaneous
I'm pleased to announce that I will hold a 90 minutes session on language extensibility at the next ACCU conference. A shortened abstract is given below (a longer one is available at the conference website).
Impact of Extensibility on Domain Specific Language Design and Implementation
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are usually very different from the general purpose language (GPL) in which the embedding application is written. The need for designing a DSL as a completely new language often comes from the lack of extensibility of the chosen GPL. By imposing a rigid syntax, a set of predefined operators and data structures, the traditional GPL approach leaves no choice but to implement a DSL as a different language, with its own lexical and syntactic parser, semantic analyzer and possibly its own brand new interpreter or even compiler.
Some GPLs, however, are extensible or customizable enough to let one implement a DSL merely as either a subset or an extension of the original language. While the end-user does not see a difference with the traditional approach, the gain for the developer is substantial. Since the DSL is now just another entry point for the same original GPL, there is essentially only one application written in only one language to maintain. Moreover, no specific language infrastructure (parser, interpreter, compiler etc.) is required for the DSL anymore, since it is simply expressed in terms of the original GPL.
The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the most important factors that make a language truly extensible, and to show how extensibility impacts the process of DSL design and implementation.
