This is a call to arms for<br>academia! We need to explore the future of dynamic languages through<br>its human aspects and technical issues. We also ought to look back and<br>pick up solutions from existing dynamic languages (such as Scheme,<br>Smalltalk, or Self) to be rediscovered and spread around.<br><br>Goal and Topics<br><br>The goal of this workshop is to act as a forum where we can discuss<br>new advances in the design, implementation and application of<br>dynamically typed languages that, sometimes radically, diverge from<br>the statically typed class-based mainstream with limited reflective<br>capabilities. Another objective of the workshop is to discuss new as<br>well as older “forgotten” languages and features in this context.<br>The workshop will have a demo-oriented style. The idea is to allow<br>participants to demonstrate new and interesting features and discuss<br>what they feel is relevant for the dynamic language community. All<br>participants need to submit a two-page description (LNCS format) of<br>their presentation or/and tool demonstration. Each accepted paper will<br>be presented for 20–30 minutes. Moreover, all workshop attendees will have<br>the opportunity, if they wish, to give 10-minute “lightning demos” of whatever<br>they bring with them. A dedicated session will be allocated for this,<br>provided there is ample time available. A session on pair programming<br>is also planned. People will then get a chance to share their<br>technology by closely interacting with other participants.<br><br>Submission page is <a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dyla2012">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dyla2012</a><br><br>The expected audience of this workshop is practitioners and<br>researchers sharing the same interest in dynamically typed languages.<br>Lua, Python, Ruby, Scheme and Smalltalk are gaining a significant<br>popularity both in industry and academia. However, each community has<br>the tendency to only look at what it produced. Broadening the scope of<br>each community is the goal of the workshop. To achieve this goal we<br>will form a PC with leading persons from all languages mentioned<br>above, fostering participation from all targeted communities.<br><br>Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to:<br>- what features make a language a dynamic one?<br>- agents, actors, active object, distribution, concurrency and mobility<br>- delegation, prototypes, mixins, traits<br>- first-class closures, continuations, environments<br>- reflection and meta-programming<br>- (dynamic) aspects for dynamic languages<br>- higher-order objects & messages<br>- other exotic dynamic features<br>- multi-paradigm & static/dynamic-marriages<br>- (concurrent/distributed/mobile/aspect) virtual machines<br>- optimization of dynamic languages<br>- automated reasoning about programs written in dynamic languages<br>- improved or novel IDE support for dynamic languages<br>- empirical studies about the application of dynamic languages<br>- best practices and patterns specific to dynamic languages<br>- use of dynamic features by library & framework developers<br>- reverse engineering and analysis of dynamic applications<br>- program correctness through unit testing (as opposed to types)<br>- applications of dynamic languages: embedded systems, robotic<br>systems, web site, ...<br><br>And any topic relevant in applying and/or supporting dynamic<br>languages: Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, Javascript, Scheme, Lisp, Self,<br>ABCL, Prolog, Ioke, Clojure and many more...<br><br>Important dates<br>- Due date for full workshop papers submission: April 17th, 2012<br>- Notification of acceptance: April 27th, 2012<br>- Workshop: June 12th, 2012<br><br>Organizers<br><br>- Alexandre Bergel, Pleiad Lab, University of Chile, Chile<br>- Damien Cassou, Arles research group at INRIA, France<br>- Jorge Ressia, University of Bern, Switzerland<br>- Serge Stinckwich, UMMISCO, IRD/UPMC/VNU, Vietnam<br><br>Program Committee<br><br>- Alexandre Bergel, Pleiad Lab, University of Chile, Chile<br>- Carl Friedrich Bolz, Heinrich-Heine-Universität, Germany<br>- Camillo Bruni, Camillo Bruni, RMoD, INRIA, France<br>- Damien Cassou, Arles research group at INRIA, France<br>- Adrian Kuhn, UBC, Canada<br>- Olivier Michel, UPEC, France<br>- Lukas Renggli, Google, Switzerland<br>- Jorge Ressia, University of Bern, Switzerland<br>- Serge Stinckwich, UMMISCO, IRD/UPMC/VNU, Vietnam<br>- Juan Pablo Sandoval Alcocer, Pleiad Lab, University of Chile, Chile<br><div>
