Introduction
============

The 15th Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages, SBLP 2011, will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, between September 26th and 30th, 2011. SBLP provides a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in the fundamental principles and innovations in the design and implementation of programming languages and systems.

The symposium will be part of the II Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice, CBSoft 2011, http://www.each.usp.br/cbsoft2011, which will host four well-established Brazilan symposia:
- 25th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES)
- 15th Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP)
- 14th Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods (SBMF)
- 5th Brazilian Symposium on Software Components, Architectures and Reuse (SBCARS)

SBLP 2011 invites authors to contribute with technical papers related (but not limited) to:

- Program generation and transformation, including domain-specific languages and model-driven development in the context of programming languages.

- Programming paradigms and styles, including functional, object-oriented, aspect-oriented, scripting languages, real-time, service-oriented, multithreaded, parallel, and distributed programming.

- Formal semantics and theoretical foundations, including denotational, operational, algebraic and categorical approaches.

- Program analysis and verification, including type systems, static analysis and abstract interpretation.

- Programming language design and implementation, including new programming models, programming language environments, compilation and interpretation techniques.


Invited Speakers
================

- José Luis Fiadeiro, Univ. of Leicester
Talk title: Service-oriented computing as a paradigm for programming dynamically reconfigurable software

- Gary T. Leavens, Univ. of Central Florida
Talk title: Ptolemy: Taming Aspects with Explicit Event Announcement and Greybox Specifications


Submissions
===========
Submissions should be done using SBLP 2011 installation of the EasyChair conference management system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2011.

Contributions should be written in Portuguese or English. We solicit papers that should fall into one of two different categories: full papers, with at most 15 pages, or short papers, with at most 5 pages. All papers should be prepared using the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) template, available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. We encourage the submission of short papers reporting on master dissertations or doctoral theses at early stages of their development. All accepted papers, with at least one author registered in the conference, will be published in the conference proceedings.

As in previous editions, a journal special issue, with selected papers from accepted contributions, is anticipated. Selected papers from 2003 to 2008 editions of SBLP were published in special issues of the Journal of Universal Computer Science, by Springer. The post-proceedings of SBLP 2009 and 2010, also with selected papers from the conference proceedings, are being edited as special issues of Science of Computer Programming, published by Elsevier.
