Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, communities and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary and more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet fully proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching and reporting on programming language and software engineering research. ### Onward! Papers Onward! Papers is looking for grand visions and new paradigms that could make a big difference in how we will one day build software. But it is not looking for research-as-usual papers; conferences like OOPSLA are the place for that. Those conferences require rigorous validation such as theorems or empirical experiments, which are necessary for scientific progress, but which typically preclude discussion of early-stage ideas. Onward! papers must also supply some degree of validation because mere speculation is not a good basis for progress. However, Onward! accepts less rigorous methods of validation such as compelling arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial examples. The use of worked-out examples to support new ideas is strongly encouraged. ### Onward! Essays Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community. An essay can be long or short. An essay can be an exploration of the topic and its impact, or a story about the circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps the one the author took to reach an understanding of the topic. The subject area—software, programming, and programming languages—should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings.

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] # Language Workbench Challenge 2016 @ SLE: Call for Solutions Collocated with SPLASH'16 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands Deadline: Mon 15 Aug 2016 (EXTENDED) Notification: Mon 5 Sep 2016 Workshop: Tue 1 Nov 2016 http://2016.splashcon.org/track/lwc2016 # Language workbenches are tools that lower the development costs of implementing new languages and their associated tools (IDEs, debuggers etc.). As well as easing the development of traditional stand-alone languages, language workbenches also make multi-paradigm and language-oriented programming environments practical. The Language Workbench Challenge (LWC) aims to bring together language workbench users and implementers, to discuss the state-of-the-art in language workbenches and explore future directions. LWC’16 solicits solutions to 3 benchmark problems proposed in Section 6.5 of the following paper: Sebastian Erdweg, Tijs van der Storm, Markus Völter, Laurence Tratt, et al. **Evaluating and comparing language workbenches: Existing results and benchmarks for the future**, Computer Languages, Systems & Structures, Volume 44, Part A, December 2015, Pages 24–47. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cl.2015.08.007 Preprint: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~storm/publications/lwc13-comlan.pdf The benchmark problems are categorized in the following categories: - Notation: challenges dealing with the appearance of source code, including support for tabular notation, mathematical symbols, code in prose etc. - Evolution and reuse: challenges related to modularity, composition, language versions and migration. - Editing: challenges exercising how the language user interacts with code. The goal of the workshop is to demonstrate, discuss and foster improvements in tools, as well as encourage the collaboration between and learning among different teams developing different (kinds of) editors. To this end, we emphasize the implementation of the challenges, not writing about them. Submissions should be short documents (in PDF format) describing each solution using the following structure: - Assumptions: Are there any assumptions or prerequisites relevant to the implementation of the solution? - Implementation: What are the important building blocks for defining the solution? What does it take to implement the solution to the problem? - Variants: Are there any interesting and insightful variants of the implementation? What small change(s) to the challenge would make a big difference in the implementation strategy or effort? - Usability: What is the resulting user experience? Is it convenient to use? Is it similar to other kinds of notations? Does it feel ’foreign’ to experienced users of the particular editor? - Impact: Which artifacts have to be changed to make the solution work? Are changes required to (conceptually) unrelated artifacts? How modular is the solution? - Composability: To what degree does the solution support composition with solutions to other benchmark problems other instances of the same problem (e.g., same challenge problem, different language feature)? - Limitations: What are the limitations of this implementation? - Uses and Examples: Are there examples of this problem in real-world systems? Where can the reader learn more? - Effort (best-effort): How much effort has been spent to build the solution, assuming an experienced user of the technology? - Other Comments: Anything that does not fit within the other categories. - Artifact: a publicly accessible URL to the source code of the submission. The paper cited above includes two example descriptions for inspiration, Submissions should furthermore use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format, 10 point font, using the font family Times New Roman and numeric citation style. The PC will review the submissions for inclusion in the workshop program, based on criteria of providing interest for discussion, conformance to the challenges, and whether the submission is on-topic (e.g., is using a language workbench). The PDFs of accepted submissions will be published on this website before the workshop.

[TYPES/announce] SPLASH'16: 1st Call for Workshop Proposals
(primary organizer and contact person do not need to be the same). For each organizer, the proposal should describe his/her background (expertise in the area and previous experience in running workshops) and also identify his/her responsibilities for the workshop. Anticipated attendance: the ideal, minimum, and maximum expected number of participants. Please note that there will be an additional charge for workshop registration at SPLASH 2015. The SPLASH organizing committee reserves the right to cancel any workshops that do not meet attendance goals. Advertisement: the planned advertisement for the workshop to ensure sufficient participation. Participant preparation: what preparation is expected from workshop participants, including how attendees gain access to the workshop (e.g., submission of a full paper, an extended abstract, a position paper). Activities and format: the format of the workshop and a timetable. All SPLASH 2015 workshops must be planned for one or two full days of activities. For example, the proposal should describe whether there will be introductory material, paper presentations, panel discussions, debates, hands-on sessions, or focus groups, and how such groups will report back to the other participants. Post-workshop activities: what results are expected, and how these will be disseminated to the wider public after the workshop. Workshops that result in peer-reviewed papers and implement an ACM SIGPLAN-approved selection process can submit formal proceedings to the ACM Digital Library. To get the approval, the workshop has to meet the usual requirements defined for ACM SIGPLAN events (i.e., approval of workshop proposal and workshop program committee by ACM SIGPLAN). The approval process is coordinated by the SPLASH organizers. Special requirements: any special requirements you might have, in terms of room configuration, audio and video equipment, etc. ### Format Submissions should use the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format, 10 point font. Note that by default the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format produces papers in 9 point font. If you are formatting your paper using LaTeX, you will need to set the 10pt option in the \documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word, you may wish to use the provided Word template that supports this font size. Please include page numbers in your submission. ### Publication If your workshop chooses to have published proceedings, be aware that accepted papers will be available in the ACM Digital Library as early as September 23, 2016. The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. It is therefore vital that this information will be communicated to participants in your workshop. ### Evaluation criteria Workshop proposals will be selected based on the quality of the proposal and according to the space available at SPLASH. The following questions may be helpful in devising a high-quality proposal: Are there at least two organizers and do they represent a reasonably varied cross-section of the community close to the topic? Does the abstract present a compelling case for the importance of the topic area? Are the goals of the workshop expressed clearly? Is the topic likely to be attractive to SPLASH attendees? Does the chosen format encourage a high level of interaction between the participants? Is a workshop the right forum to address the theme and goals or does the proposal fit better into another type of SPLASH event?

Keynote Speaker: Priya Narasimhan (Carnegie Mellon University) http://2015.splashcon.org/track/gpce2015 ** DBPL - 15th Symposium on Database Programming Languages ** For over 25 years, DBPL has established itself as the principal venue for publishing and discussing new ideas at the intersection of databases and programming languages. Many key contributions in query languages for object-oriented data, persistent databases, nested relational data, and semistructured data, as well as fundamental ideas in types for query languages, were first announced at DBPL. This creative research area is broadening into a subfield of data-centric computation, currently scattered among a range of venues. DBPL is an established destination for such new ideas and solicits submissions from researchers in databases, programming languages or any other community interested in the design, implementation or foundations of data-centric computation.
