***** Call for papers *****

The 6th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at the conference formerly known as
OOPSLA is a forum for discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation
and application. While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp,
Scheme, Self, Prolog, and APL continue to grow and inspire new converts, a
new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl,
and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications. DLS provides a
place for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their
knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development.

DLS 2010 invites high quality papers reporting original research, innovative
contributions or experience related to dynamic languages, their
implementation and application. Accepted Papers will be published in the ACM
Digital Library.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

* Innovative language features and implementation techniques
* Development and platform support, tools
* Interesting applications
* Domain-oriented programming
* Very late binding, dynamic composition, and runtime adaptation
* Reflection and meta-programming
* Software evolution
* Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages
* Dynamic optimization
* Hardware support
* Experience reports and case studies
* Educational approaches and perspectives
* Object-oriented, aspect-oriented, and context-oriented programming

=== Submissions and proceedings ===

We invite original contributions that neither have been published previously
nor are under review by other refereed events or publications. Research
papers should describe work that advances the current state of the art.
Experience papers should be of broad interest and should describe insights
gained from substantive practical applications. The program committee will
evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance, significance,
clarity, and originality.

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

Papers are to be submitted electronically at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=dls2010 in PDF format. Submissions
must not exceed 12 pages and need to use the ACM format, templates for which
can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
