First Call for Papers
---------------------

The VI Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP'2002) will
cia Universidade Catlica 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) andg
aims to provide a forum where researchers, educators, and
practitioners present and discuss the latest theoretical and practical
work on programming languages.

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.
