This active area of research involves the following basic technologies: Program analysis, transformation, and generation Formal analysis of language properties Automatic generation of language processing tools For example, language definitions can be augmented in a manner so that not only compilers or interpreters can be automatically generated but also other tools such as syntax-directed editors, debuggers, partial evaluators, test generators, documentation generators, etc. Although various specification formalisms like attribute grammars, action semantics, operational semantics, and algebraic approaches have been developed, they are not widely exploited in current practice. It is the aim of the LDTA workshops to bridge this gap between theory and practice. Among others, the following application domains can benefit from advanced language technologies: Software component models and modeling languages Re-engineering and re-factoring Aspect-oriented programming Domain-specific languages XML processing Visualization and graph transformation Programming environments such as Eclipse, Rotor, SUN Java, etc. The workshop welcomes contributions on all aspects of formal language definitions, with special emphasis on applications and tools developed for or with these language definitions. INVITED SPEAKER: LDTA 2005 is going to feature an invited talk by Erik Meijer from Microsoft Research. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE AND PUBLICATION: Submission will be open from autumn 2004. Papers (of at most 15 pages) should be submitted electronically as (optionally compressed/gzipped) PostScript or PDF files to one of the program committee chairs. The message should also contain a text-only abstract and contact author information. Please use the ENTCS style available on the ENTCS Macro Home Page http://www.math.tulane.edu/~entcs/ for preparing your submission. Final versions of accepted papers must not exceed 20 pages and have to conform to the proceedings style. Accepted papers will be published and made available during the workshop. After revision, final copies of the accepted papers will be published in Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS), Elsevier Science. Author's instructions are given here. The authors of the best papers will be invited to write a journal version of their paper which will be separately reviewed and, after acceptance, be published in a special issue devoted to LDTA 2005 of the journal Science of Computer Programming (Elsevier Science).
