SLATE 2017 - Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies
(http://www.slate-conf.org)
26th - 27th June 2017
Media Arts and Design Superior School – Polytechnic Institute of Porto
(Portugal)
####################### Symposium introduction and tracks information
#######################
We often use languages. First, to communicate between ourselves. Later, to
communicate with computers. And more recently, with the advent of networks, we
found a way to make computers communicate between themselves. All these
different forms of communication use languages, different languages, but that
still share many similarities. In SLATE we are interested in discussing these
languages.
Being languages such a broad subject, SLATE is organized in three main tracks:
1) HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Languages The HCL track is where
researchers, developers and educators exchange ideas and information on the
latest academic or industrial work on language design, processing, assessment
and applications.
2) CCL Track: Processing Computer-Computer Languages The CCL track main goal
is to provide a broad space for discussion about the XML mark-up language:
examples of usage and associated technologies.
3) HHL Track: Processing Human-Human Languages The HHL track is dedicated to
the discussion of research projects and ideas involving natural language
processing and their industrial application.
A detailed topic list for each one of these tracks is presented below.
HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Languages

Language and Grammars, design, formal specification and quality;
