SCLIT 2027

Research on programming languages is among the core and ‘classic’ disciplines of computer science. Today the term computer languages usually encompasses not only programming languages but also all sorts of artificial languages for different purposes whose ‘sentences’ can be processed by a computer.

The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for the dissemination of research accomplishments in areas that include all aspects of computer languages: theory, implementation, and accompanying tools. Following the current trends in software development, SCLIT 2027 will pay special attention to supporting multilingual software development and dedicated cross-language implementations, techniques and tools.

Call for Papers

SCLIT welcomes submissions that are the result of original and unpublished research. The scope of the workshop is wide and versatile within the theme of computer languages. Particularly, SCLIT invites papers that include, but are not limited to the following topics:

• Languages: theoretical aspects of programming languages, programming paradigms, script languages, modelling languages, domain-specific languages, graphical languages, markup languages, specification languages, transformation languages, formal languages, intermediate languages…

• Implementations: Compilers, debuggers, interpreters, virtual machines, transformation systems, translators, transpilers, intermediate representations, …

• Tools: software metrics, static analyzers, clone detectors, abstract interpreters, visualizers, …

We especially encourage submissions addressing problems that encompass multiple languages in a language-independent or cross-language manner.

SCLIT will accept submissions in four distinct categories:

• Full research papers. Present original research results in up to 6 pages.
• Short research papers. Present preliminary research results in up to 4 pages.
• Demo paper. 4-page descriptions of tools and demos.
• Research abstracts. Up to 2 pages presenting initial research ideas to discuss with the community
• Poster abstract. 2-page description of the poster.

All page limits are defined as a maximum number of pages, including figures, tables, and references.

Authors of accepted contributions in any of the above categories are invited to apply for demonstartion or/and poster without an additional demo paper or poster abstract. This will be managed through the submission page, during the (re)submission process.

Paper and abstract submissions should conform to the ACM Digital Library template that can be downloaded here:

• LaTeX (please use the sigconf option, i.e. \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart})

• MS Word

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee. Accepted submissions will be published as part of the companion proceedings of Programming 2027.
