Sponsored by Charles University and Oracle Labs
In-cooperation with ACM SIGAPP and SIGPLAN

ManLang is a premier forum for presenting and discussing innovations and
breakthroughs in the area of programming languages and runtime systems,
which form the basis of many modern computing systems, from small scale
(embedded and real-time systems) to large-scale (cloud-computing and
big-data platforms).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOPICS

- Virtual machines
* Managed runtime systems (JVM, Dalvik VM and Android Runtime (ART), LLVM,
.NET CLR, RPython, etc.)
* VM design and optimization
* VMs for mobile and embedded devices
* VMs for real-time applications
* Isolation and resource control
* Memory management
- Languages
* Managed languages (Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, C#, F#, Clojure,
Groovy, Kotlin, R, Smalltalk, Racket, etc.)
* Domain-specific languages
* Language design and calculi
* Compilers
* Language interoperability
* Parallelism and concurrency
* Modular and aspect-oriented programming
* Model-driven development
* Frameworks and applications
* Teaching
- Techniques and tools
* Static and dynamic program analysis
* Real-time systems
* Embedded systems
* Testing
* Verification
* Monitoring and debugging
* Security and information flow
* Workload characterization and performance evaluation

Do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair (Shigeru Chiba (chiba@acm.org)) to
clarify if a particular topic falls within the scope of ManLang '17.

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission (not required but recommended): Monday June 26, 2017 (AoE)
Paper submission (extended): Monday July 3, 2017 (AoE)
Paper acceptance notification: Monday August 7, 2017
Poster submission: Wednesday August 9, 2017
Poster acceptance notification: Wednesday August 16, 2017
Camera ready version due: Monday August 21, 2017

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUBMISSIONS

ManLang '17 accepts four types of submissions:
- Regular research paper: up to 12 pages
- Work-in-progress paper: up to 6 pages
- Industry and tool paper: up to 6 pages
- Poster (standalone or accompanying paper submission)

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM
International Conference Proceedings Series and will be disseminated
through the ACM Digital Library.

Research papers will be judged on their relevance, novelty, technical
rigor, and contribution to the state-of-the-art. For work-in-progress
research papers, more emphasis will be placed on novelty and the
potential of the new idea than on technical rigor and experimental
results. Industry and tool papers will be judged on their relevance,
usefulness, and results. Suitability for demonstration and availability
will also be considered for tool papers. Posters can accompany any
submission, in particular to provide additional demonstration and
discussion opportunities. Criteria for standalone posters will be similar
to criteria for short papers.
