IMPORTANT DATES:

* Paper submission: Wednesday May 4, 2016
* Author notification: Wednesday May 18, 2016
* Workshop: Sunday July 17, 2016

SCOPE:

The STOP workshop is interested in the evolution of scripts, in the
sense of untyped pieces of code, into safer programs, with more rigid
structure and constrained behaviour through the use of gradual typing,
contract checking, extensible languages, refactoring tools, and the
like. The goal is to further the understanding of such systems in
practice, and connect practice and theory. This workshop aims to bring
researchers together from academia and industry for passionate
discussion about these topics, and to promote both the theory and
practical evalution of these ideas, and experience reports.


PROCEEDINGS:

The accepted papers will be distributed at the workshop in an informal
proceedings. All accepted submissions shall remain available from the
workshop web page.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Abstracts, position papers, and status reports are welcome.  Papers
should be 1-2 pages in standard ACM SIGPLAN format. All submissions
will be reviewed by the program committee.

New this year: system demos.  Developers of languages, tools, etc. are
invited to submit a 1-page description of their system, along with
links to a runnable version and one relevant small or medium sized
example program that demonstrates its use.  At the workshop we hope to
have system developers demonstrate their systems and trade example
programs.
