In the past this has occurred when programming languages have</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">evolved towards a higher level of abstraction. Today, domain-specific</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">modeling languages provide a viable solution for continuing to raise the</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">level of abstraction beyond coding, making development faster and easier. In</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">domain-specific modeling (DSM) the models are constructed using concepts that</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">represent things in the application domain, not concepts of a given</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">programming language. The modeling language follows the domain abstractions</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">and semantics, allowing developers to perceive them-selves as working</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">directly with domain concepts. Together with frameworks and platforms, DSM</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">can automate a large portion of software production.

According to Gartner, by 2016 more than 300 billion applications will be downloaded annually. The mobile domain presents new challenges to software engineering. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing, including diverse capabilities as GPS, sensors, and input modes. Applications must be omni-channel and work on all platforms. Activated on mobile platforms, modern applications must be elastic and scale on demand according to the hardware abilities. Applications often need to support and use third-party services. Therefore, during development, security and authorization processes for the dataflow must be applied. Bring your own device (BYOD) </div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">policies bring new security data leaks challenges. Developing such applications requires suitable practices and tools e.g., architecture techniques that relate to the complexity at hand; improved refactoring tools for hybrid applications using dynamic languages and polyglot development and applications; and testing techniques for applications that run on different devices. This workshop aims at establishing a community of researchers and practitioners to share their work and lead further research in the mobile development area. </div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">**************************************************************</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Fifth Workshop on Evaluation and Usability of Programming Languages</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">and Tools (PLATEAU)</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><a href="http://2014.splashcon.org/track/plateau2014-papers">http://2014.splashcon.org/track/plateau2014-papers</a></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">- Deadlines: submission and notification</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Submissions: Aug 1, 2014</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Notification: Aug 22, 2014</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">- Organizers</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Thomas LaToza (University of California, Irvine)</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Josh Sunshine (Carnegie Mellon University)</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Craig Anslow (University of Calgary)</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">-Abstract</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Programming languages exist to enable programmers to develop software</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">effectively.

New programming languages are emerging to enable programmers to develop software easily -- leveraging the exciting advances in existing hardware, and providing abstractions that fit the capabilities of target platforms with multiple sensors, touch and cloud capabilities. PROMOTO brings together researchers who have been exploring new programming paradigms, embracing the new realities of always connected, touch-enabled mobile devices. PROMOTO 2014 would like to invite contributions covering technical aspects of cross-platform computing, cloud computing, social applications and security. The challenges of new types of devices, and the introduction of mobile in the classroom are very important. Submissions for this event are invited in the general area of mobile and touch-oriented programming languages and programming environments, and teaching of programming for mobile devices.</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">**************************************************************</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">The First International Workshop on Privacy and Security in Programming (PSP)</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><a href="http://www.indiana.edu/~psp2014/">http://www.indiana.edu/~psp2014/</a></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">- Deadlines: submission and notification</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Submissions: August 6, 2014</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Notification: September 6, 2014</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">- Organizers</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Tyrone Grandison, Proficiency Labs</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Michael Maximilien, IBM Cloud Labs</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Raquel L Hill, Indiana University</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">- Abstract:</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">The development of secure software requires the specification and communication of functional and nonfunctional security and privacy requirements, the utilization of secure and privacy-preserving programming language constructs and the application of secure and privacy-preserving coding best practices. Currently, firms focused on developing code that is both secure and privacy-preserving will employ at most two of these techniques. Unfortunately, this leads to software with the appearance of being safe (i.e. secure and privacy-preserving code), but that offers very little real protection. You can have a secure design, but if there are no supporting language constructs then the systems wont be safe. If the programmer does not know the secure coding principles and is unaware of privacy engineering methodology, then the resulting software will not be safe. Additionally, privacy engineering is a relatively new area and researchers are trying to determine how to characterize privacy requirements.</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">The specification of these requirements is an inter-disciplinary undertaking; involving experts in law, business, and computer science.</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">By getting experts in security, privacy, requirements engineering, programming languages, formal methods, privacy engineering and secure coding into the same space, it is hoped that the community can bridge the gap between the design and the implementation of safe code.</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">This workshop seeks to enable the development of safe software systems by getting the people of these currently isolated fields to start talking, working together and addressing this very difficult issue.</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">**************************************************************</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Reactive and Event-based Languages & Systems (REBLS)</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><a href="http://www.rebls-ws.com">www.rebls-ws.com</a></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">- Deadlines: submission and notification</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Submission deadline: August 25, 2014</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Notification: September 8, 2014</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">- Organizers:</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Wolfgang De Meuter, Vrije Universiteit Brussel</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Guido Salvaneschi, Technical University of Darmstadt</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Patrick Eugster, Purdue University</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Lukasz Ziarek, University at Buffalo</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;"><br></div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">- Abstract:</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">related programming styles that are becoming ever more important with</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">the advent of advanced HPC technology and the ever increasing</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">requirement for our applications to run on the web or on collaborating</div><div style="font-family: LucidaGrande; orphans: auto; widows: auto;">mobile devices.
