** Co-located Events **

**** Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) ****

The Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) is the premier forum for researchers
and practitioners to share research and experience on all aspects of
dynamic languages.

After two decades of dynamic language research and DLS, it is time to
reflect and look forward to what the next two decades will bring. This
year's DLS will therefore be a special DLS focusing on the Future of
Dynamic Languages. To do the notion of "symposium" justice, we will
actively invite speakers to present their opinions on where Dynamic
Languages might be, will be, or should be going in the next twenty years.

Paper Submission Deadline:                 28 Jun 2023

**** Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences (GPCE)****

ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts &
Experiences (GPCE) is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested
in techniques that use program generation, domain-specific languages, and
component deployment to increase programmer productivity, improve software
quality, and shorten the time-to-market of software products. In addition
to exploring cutting-edge techniques of generative software, our goal is to
foster further cross-fertilization between the software engineering and the
programming languages research communities.

Abstract Submission Deadline:              3 Jul 2023

Paper Submission Deadline:                 7 Jul 2023

**** Managed Programming Languages & Runtimes (MPLR)****

The 20th International Conference on Managed Programming Languages &
Runtimes (MPLR'23, formerly ManLang, originally PPPJ) is a premier forum
for presenting and discussing novel results in all aspects of managed
programming languages and runtime systems, which serve as building blocks
for some of the most important computing systems around, ranging from
small-scale (embedded and real-time systems) to large-scale
(cloud-computing and big-data platforms) and anything in between (mobile,
IoT, and wearable applications).

Paper/Abstract Submission Deadline:       26 Jun 2023

Details: https://2023.splashcon.org/home/mplr-2023




**** Posters ****

The SPLASH Posters track provides an excellent forum for authors to present
their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive
feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any aspect of
programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of the poster
session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of individuals
interested in a technical area to gather and interact. It is held early in
the conference, to promote continued discussion among interested parties.

Submission Deadline:       15 Aug 2023


**** SPLASH-E ****

SPLASH-E is a symposium, started in 2013, for software and languages
(SE/PL) researchers with activities and interests around computing
education. Some build pedagogically-oriented languages or tools; some think
about pedagogic challenges around SE/PL courses; some bring computing to
non-CS communities; some pursue human studies and educational research.

At SPLASH-E, we share our educational ideas and challenges centered in
software/languages, as well as our best ideas for advancing such work.
SPLASH-E strives to bring together researchers and those with educational
interests that arise from software ideas or concerns.


Archival Submission Deadline:       27 Jul 2023


** Student Research Competition (SRC) **

The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) offers a unique opportunity for
undergraduate and graduate students to present their research to a panel of
judges and conference attendees at SPLASH. The SRC provides visibility and
exposes up-and-coming researchers to computer science research and the
research community. This competition also gives students an opportunity to
discuss their research with experts in their field, get feedback, and
sharpen their communication and networking skills.

Abstract Submission Deadline:       14 Jul 2023


** Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW) **

The SPLASH Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop encourages graduate
students (PhD and MSc) and senior undergraduate students to pursue research
in programming languages. This workshop will provide mentoring sessions on
how to prepare for and thrive in graduate school and in a research career,
focusing both on cutting-edge research topics and practical advice. The
workshop brings together leading researchers and junior students in an
inclusive environment in order to help welcome newcomers to our field of
programming languages research. The workshop will show students the many
paths that they might take to enter and contribute to our research
community.

Application Submission Deadline:       24 Jul 2023


** Workshops **

**** CONFLANG ****

CONFLANG is a workshop on the design, the theory, the practice and the
future evolution of configuration languages. It aims to gather the emerging
community in this area in order to engage in fruitful interactions, to
share ideas, results, opinions, and experiences on languages for
configuration. Correct configuration is an actual industrial problem, and
would greatly benefit from existing and ongoing academic research. Dually,
this is a space with new challenges to overcome and new directions to
explore, which is a great opportunity to confront new ideas with
large-scale production.

**** FTSCS ****

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers who
are interested in the application of formal and semi-formal methods to
improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. FTSCS strives to
promote research and development of formal methods and tools for industrial
applications, and is particularly interested in industrial applications of
formal methods.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to: case studies and
experience reports on the use of formal methods for analyzing
safety-critical systems, including avionics, automotive, medical, railway,
and other kinds of safety-critical and QoS-critical systems;  methods,
techniques and tools to support automated analysis, certification,
debugging, etc., of safety/QoS-critical systems; analysis methods that
address the limitations of formal methods in industry (usability,
scalability, etc.); formal analysis support for modeling languages used in
industry, such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE, Modelica, etc.; code
generation from validated models.

The workshop will provide a platform for discussions and the exchange of
innovative ideas, so submissions on work in progress are encouraged.

**** HATRA ****

Programming language designers seek to provide strong tools to help
developers reason about their programs. For example, the formal methods
community seeks to enable developers to prove correctness properties of
their code, and type system designers seek to exclude classes of
undesirable behavior from programs. The security community creates tools to
help developers achieve their security goals. In order to make these
approaches as effective as possible for developers, recent work has
integrated approaches from human-computer interaction research into
programming language design. This workshop brings together programming
languages, software engineering, security, and human-computer interaction
researchers to investigate methods for making languages that provide
stronger safety properties more effective for programmers and software
engineers.

We have two goals: (1) to provide a venue for discussion and feedback on
early-stage approaches that might enable people to be more effective at
achieving stronger safety properties in their programs; (2) to facilitate
discussion about relevant topics of participant interest.


**** IWACO ****


Many techniques have been introduced to describe and reason about stateful
programs, and to restrict, analyze, and prevent aliases. These include
various forms of ownership types, capabilities, separation logic, linear
logic, uniqueness, sharing control, escape analysis, argument independence,
read-only references, linear references, effect systems, and access control
mechanisms. These tools have found their way into type systems, compilers
and interpreters, runtime systems and bug-finding tools. Their immediate
practical relevance is self-evident from the popularity of Rust, a
programming language built around reasoning about aliasing and ownership to
enable static memory management and data race freedom, voted the "most
beloved" language in the annual Stack Overflow Developer Survey seven times
in a row.

IWACO'23 will focus on these techniques, on how they can be used to reason
about stateful (sequential or concurrent) programs, and how they have been
applied to programming languages. In particular, we will consider papers
on: models, type systems and other formal systems, programming language
mechanisms, analysis and design techniques, patterns and notations for
expressing ownership, aliasing, capabilities, uniqueness, and related
topics; empirical studies of programs or experience reports from
programming systems designed with these techniques in mind; programming
logics that deal with aliasing and/or shared state, or use ownership,
capabilities or resourcing; applications of capabilities, ownership and
other similar type systems in low-level systems such as programming
languages runtimes, virtual machines, or compilers; and optimization
techniques, analysis algorithms, libraries, applications, and novel
approaches exploiting ownership, aliasing, capabilities, uniqueness, and
related topics.


**** LIVE ****

Programming is cognitively demanding, and too difficult. LIVE is a workshop
exploring new user interfaces that improve the immediacy, usability, and
learnability of programming. Whereas PL research traditionally focuses on
programs, LIVE focuses more on the activity of programming.

Our goal is to provide a supportive venue where early-stage work receives
constructive criticism. Whether graduate students or tenured faculty,
researchers need a forum to discuss new ideas and get helpful feedback from
their peers. Towards that end, we will allot about ten minutes for
discussion after every presentation.

**** PAINT ****

Programming environments that integrate tools, notations, and abstractions
into a holistic user experience can provide programmers with better support
for what they want to achieve. These programming environments can create an
engaging place to do new forms of informational work - resulting in
enjoyable, creative, and productive experiences with programming.

In the workshop on Programming Abstractions and Interactive Notations,
Tools, and Environments (PAINT), we want to discuss programming
environments that support users in working with and creating notations and
abstractions that matter to them. We are interested in the relationship
between people centric notations and general-purpose programming languages
and environments. How do we reflect the various experiences, needs, and
priorities of the many people involved in programming — whether they call
it that or not?

**** PLF ****

Applications supporting multi-device are ubiquitous. While most of the
distributed applications that we see nowadays are cloud-based, avoiding the
cloud can lead to privacy and performance benefits for users and
operational and cost benefits for companies and developers. Following this
idea, Local-First Software runs and stores its data locally while still
allowing collaboration, thus retaining the benefits of existing
collaborative applications without depending on the cloud. Many specific
solutions already exist: operational transformation, client-side databases
with eventually consistent replication based on CRDTs, and even
synchronization as a service provided by commercial offerings, and a vast
selection of UI design libraries.

However, these solutions are not integrated with the programming languages
that applications are developed in. Language based solutions related to
distribution such as type systems describing protocols, reliable actor
runtimes, data processing, machine learning, etc., are designed and
optimized for the cloud not for a loosely connected set of cooperating
devices. This workshop aims at bringing the issue to the attention of the
PL community, and accelerating the development of suitable solutions for
this area.


**** REBELS ****

Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely related
programming styles that are becoming ever more important with the advent of
advanced HPC technology and the ever increasing requirement for our
applications to run on the web or on collaborating mobile devices. A number
of publications on middleware and language design — so-called reactive and
event-based languages and systems (REBLS) — have already seen the light,
but the field still raises several questions. For example, the interaction
with mainstream language concepts is poorly understood, implementation
technology is in its infancy and modularity mechanisms are almost totally
lacking. Moreover, large applications are still to be developed and
patterns and tools for developing reactive applications is an area that is
vastly unexplored.

This workshop will gather researchers in reactive and event-based languages
and systems. The goal of the workshop is to exchange new technical research
results and to define better the field by coming up with taxonomies and
overviews of the existing work.



**** ST30 ****

Session types are a type-theoretic approach to specifying communication
protocols so that they can be verified by type-checking. This year marks 30
years since the first paper on session types, by Kohei Honda at CONCUR
1993. Since then the topic has attracted increasing interest, and a
substantial community and literature have developed. Google Scholar lists
almost 400 articles with "session types" in the title, and most programming
language conferences now include several papers on session types each year.
In terms of the technical focus, there have been continuing theoretical
developments (notably the generalisation from two-party to multi-party
session types by Honda, Yoshida and Carbone in 2008, and the development of
a Curry-Howard correspondence with linear logic by Caires and Pfenning in
2010) and a variety of implementations of session types as programming
language extensions or libraries, covering (among others) Haskell, OCaml,
Java, Scala, Rust, Python, C#, Go.

ST30 is a workshop to celebrate the 30th anniversary of session types by
bringing together the community for a day of talks and technical discussion.
