development and case studies. Among others, solicited topics include:

- ** programming paradigms and styles ** :
functional programming; object-oriented programming; probabilistic
programming; logic
programming; constraint programming; extensible programming
languages; programming languages for systems code; novel programming
paradigms;

- ** methods and tools to specify and reason about programs and
languages ** :

programming techniques; meta-programming; domain-specific
languages; proof assistants; type systems; dependent types; program
logics, static and dynamic program analysis; language-based
security; model checking; testing;

- ** programming language foundations ** :

formal semantics; type theory; logical foundations; category
theory; automata; effects; monads and comonads; recursion and
corecursion; continuations and effect handlers; program
verification; memory models; abstract interpretation;

- ** methods and tools for implementation ** :

compilers; program transformations; rewriting systems;
partial evaluation; virtual machines; refactoring; intermediate
languages; run-time environments; garbage collection and memory
management; tracing; profiling; build systems; program synthesis;

- ** concurrency and distribution ** :

process algebras; concurrency theory; session types; parallel
programming; service-oriented computing; distributed and mobile
computing; actor-based languages; verification and testing of
concurrent and distributed systems;

- ** applications and emerging topics ** :

programming languages and PL methods in education, security,
privacy, database systems, computational biology, signal
processing, graphics, human-computer interaction, computer-aided
design, artificial intelligence and machine learning; case
studies in program analysis and verification.


GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------------------------
Submissions should not exceed 17 pages, excluding bibliography in the
Springer LNCS format. LaTeX template is available at:

https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

The accepted papers will be allowed to use one extra page for the
content to accommodate feedback from the reviews in the final paper
versions.

Papers should be submitted via HotCRP:

https://aplas2023.hotcrp.com/

The review process of APLAS 2023 is double-anonymous, with a rebuttal
phase. In your submission, please, omit your names and institutions;
refer to your prior work in the third person, just as you refer to
prior work by others; do not include acknowledgments that might
identify you.

Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in
the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed in
a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.
Reviewers are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers must be
understandable without them.

Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Papers must be written in English. The proceedings will be
published as a volume in Springer’s LNCS series. Accepted papers must
be presented at the conference.


POSTERS and STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION
----------------------------------------

APLAS 2023 includes a Posters session and a Student Research
Competition. For more details, please see the website.
