Call for Papers 4th Workshop on Meta-Programming Techniques and Reflection (Meta’19) Co-located with SPLASH 2019 October 20, 2019, Athens, Greece https://2019.splashcon.org/track/meta-2019 Follow us on twitter @MetaAtSPLASH ======================================================================== The Meta’19 workshop aims to bring together researchers working on metaprogramming and reflection, as well as users building applications, language extensions and/or software tools using them. The challenges which metaprogramming faces are manifold. They start with formal reasoning about reflective programs, continue with performance and tooling, and reach into the empirical field to understand how metaprogramming is used and how it affects software maintainability. While industry accepted metaprogramming on a wide scale with Ruby, Scala, JavaScript, R and others, there is still a long road ahead to bring the same level of convenience, tooling, and understanding as for direct programming styles. Contributions to the workshop are welcome on a wide range of topics related to the design, implementation, and application of metaprogramming techniques, as well as empirical studies and formal methods for such systems and languages. ### Topics of Interest The workshop is a venue for all approaches that embrace metaprogramming, from static to dynamic techniques: - reflection, meta-level architectures, staging, open language runtimes applications to middleware, frameworks, and DSLs - optimization techniques - contract systems, or typing of reflective programs - reflection and metaobject protocols to enable tooling - case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g., to build applications, language extensions, or tools - empirical evaluation of metaprogramming solutions - security in reflective systems and capability-based designs - meta-level architectures and reflective middleware for modern runtime platforms (e.g. IoT, cyber-physical systems, mobile/cloud/grid computing, etc) - surveys, conceptualization, taxonomization, and formalization of existing approaches ### Workshop Format and Submissions This workshop welcomes the presentation of new ideas and emerging problems as well as mature work as part of a mini-conference format. Furthermore, we plan interactive brainstorming and demonstration sessions between the formal presentations to enable an active exchange of ideas. Papers submitted by the first deadline will be considered for publication in the ACM DL, if not requested otherwise by the authors. Thus, they will be part of SPLASH workshop proceedings. For all papers, use of the SIGPLAN acmart style is mandatory: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ Please use the provided double-column templates for Latex or Word. technical paper: max. 8 pages, excluding references position and work-in-progress paper: 1-4 pages, excluding references technology demos or a posters: 1-page abstract Demos, posters, position and work-in-progress papers can be submitted on a second, later deadline to discuss the latest results and current work, but will not be considered for publication in the ACM DL. For the submission, please use the submission system at: https://meta19.hotcrp.com/ ### Important Dates 26 Jul 2019 - Abstract Submission 2 Aug 2019 - Paper Submission (considered for ACM DL) 23 Aug 2019 - Notification 28 Aug 2019 - Demo, position or work-in-progress paper submission 20 Sep 2019 - Demo, position or work-in-progress paper notification ### Steering Committee Elisa Gonzalez Boix, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Stefan Marr, University of Kent ### Organizing Committee Guido Chari, Czech Technical University Christophe Scholliers, Ghent University ### Program Committee Nada Amin, University of Cambridge, UK Edwin Brady, University of St Andrews, UK Andrei Chis, Feenk, Switzerland David Thrane Christiansen, Galois, Portland, Oregon, USA Tom Van Cutsem, Bell Labs, Belgium Ryan Culpepper, Czech Technical University, Prague, Czechia Jennifer Hacket, University of Nottingham, UK Robert Hirschfield, Hasso Plattner Institute, Germany James Noble, Victoria University Wellington, New Zealand Bruno C. d.
