It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages. The Scala Symposium is the leading forum for researchers and practitioners related to the Scala programming language. We welcome a broad spectrum of research topics and support many submission formats for industry and academia alike. This year’s Scala Symposium is co-located with ICFP 2018 and Strange Loop 2018. We seek submissions on all topics related to Scala, including (but not limited to): * Language design and implementation – language extensions, optimization, and performance evaluation. * Library design and implementation patterns for extending Scala – stand-alone Scala libraries, embedded domain-specific languages, combining language features, generic and meta-programming. * Formal techniques for Scala-like programs – formalizations of the language, type system, and semantics, formalizing proposed language extensions and variants, dependent object types, type and effect systems. * Concurrent and distributed programming – libraries, frameworks, language extensions, programming models, performance evaluation, experimental results. * Big data and machine learning libraries and applications using the Scala programming language. * Safety and reliability – pluggable type systems, contracts, static analysis and verification, runtime monitoring. * Interoperability with other languages and runtimes, such as JavaScript, Java 8 (lambdas), Graal and others. * Tools – development environments, debuggers, refactoring tools, testing frameworks. * Case studies, experience reports, and pearls. Important dates: * Paper submission June 13th, 2018 * Paper notification: July 13th, 2018 * Student talk submission: Aug 10th, 2018 * Camera ready: Aug 3rd, 2018 * Student talk notification: Aug 31st, 2018 All deadlines are at the end of the day, “Anywhere on Earth” (AoE). Submission Format: To accommodate the needs of researchers and practitioners, as well as beginners and experts alike, we seek several kinds of submissions, all in acmart/sigplan style, 10pt font. * Full papers (at most 10 pages, excluding bibliography) * Short papers (at most 4 pages, excluding bibliography) * Tool papers (at most 4 pages, excluding bibliography) * Student talks (short abstract only, in plain text) Accepted papers (either full papers, short ones or tool papers, but not student talks) will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Detailed information for each kind of submission is given below. Formatting requirements are detailed in Instructions for Authors. Please note that at least one author of each accepted contribution must attend the symposium and present the work. In the case of tool demonstration papers, a live demonstration of the described tool is expected. Full and Short Papers: Full and short papers should describe novel ideas, experimental results, or projects related to the Scala language. In order to encourage lively discussion, submitted papers may describe work in progress. Additionally, short papers may present problems and raise research questions interesting for the Scala language community. All papers will be judged on a combination of correctness, significance, novelty, clarity, and interest to the community. In general, papers should explain their original contributions, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work (also for other languages where appropriate). Tool Papers: Tool papers need not necessarily report original research results; they may describe a tool of interest, report practical experience that will be useful to others, new Scala idioms, or programming pearls. In all cases, such a paper must make a contribution which is of interest to the Scala community, or from which other members of the Scala community can benefit. Where appropriate, authors are encouraged to include a link to the tool’s website. For inspiration, you might consider advice in https://conf.researchr.org/track/POPL-2016/pepm-2016-main#Tool-Paper-Advice, which we however treat as non-binding. In case of doubts, please contact the program chairs. Student Talks: In addition to regular papers and tool demos, we also solicit short student talks by bachelor/master/PhD students.
