The Java platform is multi-faceted, covering a rich diversity of
systems, languages, tools, frameworks, and techniques. PPPJ'13 - the
10th conference in the PPPJ series - provides a forum for researchers,
practitioners, and educators to present and discuss novel results on
all aspects of programming on the Java platform including virtual
machines, languages, tools, methods, frameworks, libraries, case
studies, and experience reports.


TOPICS 

Virtual machines for Java and Java-like language support:
  - JVM and similar VMs
  - VM design and optimization
  - VMs for mobile and embedded devices
  - Real-time VMs
  - Isolation and resource control

Languages on the Java platform:
  - JVM languages (Clojure, Groovy, Java, JRuby, Kotlin, Scala, ...)
  - 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 for the Java platform:
  - Static and dynamic program analysis 
  - Testing 
  - Verification
  - Security and information flow 
  - Workload characterization 

Do not hesitate to contact the PC Chair <walter.binder at usi.ch> to
clarify whether a particular topic is in the scope of PPPJ'13 or not.

Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, 
technical content, style, and relevance to the conference.

Three types of paper submissions are accepted: 

Full research paper : up to 12 pages
Short research paper: up to 6 pages
Tool paper: up to 4 pages

Clearly indicate in the paper whether it is to be evaluated as a full
research paper, short research paper, or tool paper. Papers that do
not meet the formatting requirements or are too long for the
respective paper type will be rejected without review.
