--

The Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP) is a 
well-established symposium which provides a venue for researchers and 
practitioners interested in the fundamental principles and innovations 
in the design and implementation of programming languages and systems. 
SBLP 2016 will be held in Maringá, in the Southern region of Brazil, and 
will be the 20th edition of the symposium. SBLP is part of the 7th 
edition of CBSoft, the Brazilian Congress on Software: Theory and 
Practice. More information is available at 
http://cbsoft.org/sblp2016/xx-brazilian-symposium-on-programming-languages.


IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission: April 8th 2016

Paper submission: April 15th 2016

Author notification: May 27th 2016

Camera ready deadline: June 10th 2016

Symposium dates: September 22nd and 23rd

Authors are invited to submit original research on any relevant topic 
which can be either in the form of regular or short papers.


TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Program generation and transformation, including domain-specific 
languages, and model-driven development in the context of programming 
languages.
- Programming paradigms and styles, including functional, 
object-oriented, aspect-oriented, scripting languages, real-time, 
service-oriented, multithreaded, parallel, and distributed programming.
- Formal semantics and theoretical foundations, including denotational, 
operational, algebraic, and categorical.
- Program analysis and verification, including type systems, static 
analysis, and abstract interpretation.
- Programming language design and implementation, including new 
programming models, programming language environments, compilation, and 
interpretation techniques.

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on the basis of its 
originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation 
quality, and relevance to the symposium. Contributions should be written 
in Portuguese or English.

Papers should fall into one of two different categories: regular papers, 
which can be up to 15 pages long in LNCS format, or short papers, with 
up to 6 pages in LNCS format. Short papers can discuss new ideas which 
are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been 
thoroughly evaluated. We encourage the submission of short papers 
reporting partial results of on-going master dissertations or doctoral 
theses.

Accepted papers written in English will be published in a volume of 
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), by Springer. Both regular and 
short papers must be prepared using the LNCS format, available at 
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0.

Papers must be submitted electronically (in PDF format) via the 
Easychair System: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2016.

As in previous editions, after the conference, authors of selected 
regular papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their 
work to be considered for publication in a journal special issue. Since 
2009, selected papers of each SBPL edition are being published in a 
special issue of Science of Computer Programming, by Elsevier.
