Conference
----------

The 2nd International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE)
is devoted to topics related to artificial languages in software
engineering. SLE's foremost mission is to encourage and organize
communication between communities that have traditionally looked
at software languages from different, more specialized, and yet
complementary perspectives. SLE emphasizes the fundamental notion
of languages as opposed to any realization in specific "technical
spaces". SLE 2009 will be co-located with the 12th IEEE/ACM
International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and
Systems (MODELS 2009) and  8th International Conference on
Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2009).



Scope
-----

The term 'software language' comprises all sorts of artificial
languages used in software development, including general-purpose
programming languages, domain-specific languages, modeling and
meta-modeling languages, data models, and ontologies. Used in its
broadest sense, examples include modeling languages such as
UML-based and domain-specific modeling languages, business process
modeling languages, and web application modeling languages.  The
term 'software language' also comprises APIs and collections of
design patterns that are implicitly defined languages.

Software language engineering is the application of a systematic,
disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, use, and
maintenance of these languages. Thus, the SLE conference is
concerned with all phases of the life cycle of software languages;
these include the design, implementation, documentation, testing,
deployment, evolution, recovery, and retirement of languages. Of
special interest are tools, techniques, methods and formalisms that
support these activities. In particular, tools are often based on
or even automatically generated from a formal description of the
language. Hence, of special interest is the treatment of language
descriptions as software artifacts, akin to programs - while paying
attention to the special status of language descriptions, subject
to tailored engineering principles and methods for modularization,
refactoring, refinement, composition, versioning, co-evolution,
and analysis.
