------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the 12th ACM SIGPLAN
International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE 2019),
held in conjunction with SPLASH 2019 at Athens, Greece on October
21-22, 2019.
---------------------------
Topics of Interest
---------------------------
SLE 2019 solicits high-quality contributions in areas ranging from
theoretical and conceptual contributions, to tools, techniques, and
frameworks in the domain of software language engineering. Topics
relevant to SLE cover generic aspects of software languages
development rather than aspects of engineering a specific language. In
particular, SLE is interested in contributions from the following
areas:
* Software Language Design and Implementation
- Approaches to and methods for language design
- Static semantics (e.g., design rules, well-formedness constraints)
- Techniques for specifying behavioral / executable semantics
- Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation)
- Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches
* Software Language Validation
- Verification and formal methods for languages
- Testing techniques for languages
- Simulation techniques for languages
* Software Language Integration and Composition
- Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools
- Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages)
- Traceability between languages
- Deployment of languages to different platforms
* Software Language Maintenance
- Software language reuse
- Language evolution
- Language families and variability
* Domain-specific approaches for any aspects of SLE (design,
implementation, validation, maintenance)
* Empirical evaluation and experience reports of language engineering tools
- User studies evaluating usability
- Performance benchmarks
- Industrial applications
---------------------------
Important Dates

* Wed 25 Sep 2019 - Artifact notification
* Fri 27 Sep 2019 - Artifact-related paper updates
* Mon-Tue 21-22 Oct 2018 - SLE Conference
---------------------------
Types of Submissions
---------------------------
SLE 2019 solicits three types of contributions: Research Papers, Tools
Papers, and New Ideas/Vision papers.
* Research papers
These should report a substantial research contribution to SLE or
successful application of SLE techniques or both. Full paper
submissions must not exceed 12 pages, excluding bibliography.
* Tool papers
Because of SLE’s interest in tools, we seek papers that present
software tools related to the field of SLE. Selection criteria include
originality of the tool, its innovative aspects, and relevance to SLE.
Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool
demonstrations. Submissions must provide a tool description of 4 pages
excluding bibliography, and a demonstration outline including
screenshots of up to 6 pages. Tool demonstrations must have the
keywords “Tool Demo” or “Tool Demonstration” in the title. The 4-page
tool description will, if the demonstration is accepted, be published
in the proceedings. The 6-page demonstration outline will be used by
the program committee only for evaluating the submission.
*New ideas / vision papers
New ideas papers should describe new, non-conventional SLE research
approaches that depart from standard practice. They are intended to
describe well-defined research ideas that are at an early stage of
investigation. Vision papers are intended to present new unifying
theories about existing SLE research that can lead to the development
of new technologies or approaches. New ideas / vision papers must not
exceed 4 pages, excluding bibliography.
*Workshops
Workshops will be organized by SPLASH. Please inform us and contact
the SPLASH organizers if you would like to organize a workshop of
interest to the SLE audience. Information on how to submit workshops
can be found at the SPLASH 2019 Website.
---------------------------
Artifact Evaluation
---------------------------
SLE will continue to use an evaluation process for assessing the
quality of the artifacts on which papers are based to foster the
culture of experimental reproducibility. Authors of accepted papers
are invited to submit artifacts. For more information, please have a
look at the Artifact Evaluation page.
---------------------------
Submission Details
---------------------------
Paper Format: Submissions must conform to the ACM SIGPLAN Conference
Format “acmart”; please make sure that you always use the latest ACM
SIGPLAN acmart LaTeX template, and that the document class definition
is \documentclass[sigplan,screen]{acmart}. Do not make any changes to
this format!
Using the Word template is strongly discouraged.
Ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and
white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct
and font sizes in figures and tables are legible.
To increase fairness in reviewing, a double-blind review process has
become standard across SIGPLAN conferences. For the first time, SLE
will follow the double-blind process. Author names and institutions
should be omitted from submitted papers, and references to the
authors’ own related work should be in the third person. No other
changes are necessary, and authors will not be penalized if reviewers
are able to infer their identities in implicit ways.
All submissions must be in PDF format.
Concurrent Submissions: Papers must describe unpublished work that is
not currently submitted for publication elsewhere as described by
SIGPLAN’s Republication Policy. Submitters should also be aware of
ACM’s Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism. Submissions that violate
these policies will be desk-rejected.
Submission Site:
Submissions will be accepted at https://sle19.hotcrp.com/
---------------------------
Reviewing Process
---------------------------
All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the
program committee. Research papers and tool papers will be evaluated
concerning novelty, correctness, significance, readability, and
alignment with the conference call. New ideas / vision papers will be
evaluated primarily concerning novelty, significance, readability, and
alignment with the conference call.
For fairness reasons, all submitted papers must conform to the above
instructions. Submissions that violate these instructions may be
rejected without review, at the discretion of the PC chairs.
---------------------------
Awards
---------------------------
* Distinguished paper: Award for most notable paper, as determined by
the PC chairs based on the recommendations of the programme committee.
* Distinguished reviewer: Award for distinguished reviewer, as
determined by the PC chairs.
* Distinguished artifact: Award for the artifact most significantly
exceeding expectations, as determined by the AEC chairs based on the
recommendations of the artifact evaluation committee.
---------------------------
Publication
---------------------------
All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the
proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date
may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The
official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings
related to published work.
