[TYPES/announce] Tenure-track faculty positions at Oregon State University
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Dear types enthusiasts, We're hiring multiple tenure-track faculty positions at Oregon State University, including in the areas of programming languages, software engineering, and theoretical computer science. The full job ad and application instructions are available here: http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/prospective-faculty/current-job-openings#cs We're a fairly large (60 tenured/tenure-track faculty across EECS) and still fast-growing school, so their are plenty of collaboration opportunities and lots of early career folks to interact with. The school is extremely supportive of junior faculty. Additionally, Corvallis, Oregon is a really great place to live. It's consistently rated one of the best college towns and most bike-friendly small cities in the US. It's located in the Willamette Valley, the craft beer capital of the world and a burgeoning wine region. There are plenty of nearby trails, and it's a short drive to the beautiful Oregon Coast and the rugged Cascade Mountains. The deadline for full consideration is this week (Nov 15), so act quickly! Best regards, Eric Walkingshaw School of EECS Oregon State University
[TYPES/announce] DSLDI 2016: Final Call for Talk Proposals (Extended Deadline)
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] * FINAL CALL FOR TALK PROPOSALS DSLDI 2016 Fourth Workshop on Domain-Specific Language Design and Implementation October 31, 2016 Amsterdam, Netherlands Co-located with SPLASH http://2016.splashcon.org/track/dsldi2016 https://twitter.com/wsdsldi * Deadline for talk proposals: August 15, 2016 (extended!) *** Workshop Goal *** Well-designed and implemented domain-specific languages (DSLs) can achieve both usability and performance benefits over general-purpose programming languages. By raising the level of abstraction and exploiting domain knowledge, DSLs can make programming more accessible, increase programmer productivity, and support domain-specific optimizations. The goal of the DSLDI workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in discussing how DSLs should be designed, implemented, supported by tools, and applied in realistic contexts. The focus of the workshop is on all aspects of this process, from soliciting domain knowledge from experts, through the design and implementation of the language, to evaluating whether and how a DSL is successful. More generally, we are interested in continuing to build a community that can drive forward the development of modern DSLs. An additional goal of this year's workshop is to encourage discussion about the usability of DSLs, and to establish connections with researchers in related areas, such as end-user software engineering, who have studied human factors of programming languages and tools. *** Workshop Format *** DSLDI is a single-day workshop and will consist of moderated audience discussions structured around a series of talks. The role of the talks is to facilitate interesting and substantive discussion. Therefore, we welcome and encourage talks that express strong opinions, describe open problems, propose new research directions, and report on early research in progress. Proposed talks should be on topics within DSLDI's area of interest, which include but are not limited to: * solicitation and representation of domain knowledge * DSL design principles and processes * DSL implementation techniques and language workbenches * domain-specific optimizations * human factors of DSLs * tool support for DSL users * community and educational support for DSL users * applications of DSLs to existing and emerging domains * studies of usability, performance, or other benefits of DSLs * experience reports of DSLs deployed in practice *** Call for Submissions *** We solicit talk proposals in the form of short abstracts (max. 2 pages). A good talk proposal describes an interesting position, open problem, demonstration, or early achievement. The submissions will be reviewed on relevance and clarity, and used to plan the mostly interactive sessions of the workshop day. Publication of accepted abstracts and slides on the website is voluntary. * Deadline for talk proposals: August 15, 2016 * Notification: September 5, 2016 * Workshop: October 31, 2016 * Submission website: https://dsldi16.hotcrp.com/ *** Workshop Organization *** Organizers: * Eric Walkingshaw (Oregon State University) * Tijs van der Storm (CWI) Program committee: * Iman Avazpour (Deakin University) * Christopher Bogart (Carnegie Mellon University) * Andy Gill (University of Kansas) * Sylvia Grewe (TU Darmstadt) * Kate Howland (University of Sussex) * Lindsey Kuper (Intel Labs) * Darya Kurilova (Carnegie Mellon University) * Ralf Lämmel (University of Koblenz-Landau) * Tanja Mayerhofer (Vienna University of Technology) * Marjan Mernik (University of Maribor) * Sarah Mount (King's College London) * Justin Pombrio (Brown University) * Tillmann Rendel (University of Tübingen) * Tiark Rompf (Purdue & Oracle Labs) * Sonja Schimmler (Bundeswehr University Munich) * Markus Völter (itemis) * Peng Wu (Huawei America Lab)
