Deadline for paper submissions extended to March 7th

The VI Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP'2002) will be held at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on June 05-07, 2002. The symposium is sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and aims to provide a forum where researchers, educators, and practitioners present and discuss the latest theoretical and practical work on programming languages.

Topics

We invite authors to contribute to SBLP'2002 with the following kinds of submission:

Technical research papers introducing original research results on topics such as (but not limited to):
- Programming language design and implementation
- Formal semantics of programming languages
- Domain-specific programming languages
- Visual programming languages
- Programming languages for mobile, WWW, and network computing
- Script languages
- Design and implementation of programming tools and environments
- New programming models
- Theoretical foundations of programming languages
- Teaching programming languages
Experience reports on the use of programming languages, tools, and environments. The reports should clearly state the problems and difficulties identified on using those programming languages or technologies on projects, possibly giving solutions to those problems or hints to avoid them.
Tutorial proposals on subjects related to programming languages, APIs, tools, environments or theories.

There will be also invited lectures, tutorials, panels, and working meetings to closely group together professionals interested on specific research topics.

Submissions

Contributions can be written in Portuguese, English or Spanish. Those written in English can be selected for publication elsewhere (probably Elsevier Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science).

All papers and experience reports will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers should have at most 14 pages and experience reports at most 8 pages.

----

Tutorials will be published in a separate proceedings. They should cover material of postgraduate level. The tutorial submission may be only a proposal, containing:

title
author names
motivation, describing the relevance of the subject in the area of programming languages
abstract
description of the presentation (optional)

Tutorial proposals will be selected according to i) its technical quality and ii) expected relevance and interest from the community.

The final tutorial should contain at most 30 pages.

----

Contributions should use the standard format of SBC (Brazilian Computer Society). They are available in:
