************************************************************************************

From Lisp, Snobol, and Smalltalk to Python, Racket, and Javascript, Dynamic
Languages have been playing a fundamental role both in programming research and
practice. The 13th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at SPLASH 2017 is the
premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share research and experience
on all aspects on Dynamic Languages.

DLS 2017 invites high quality papers reporting original research and experience
related to the design, implementation, and applications of dynamic
languages. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

*    Innovative language features
*    Innovative implementation techniques
*    Innovative applications
*    Development environments and tools
*    Experience reports and case studies
*    Domain-oriented programming
*    Very late binding, dynamic composition, and run-time adaptation
*    Reflection and meta-programming
*    Software evolution
*    Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages
*    Dynamic optimization
*    JIT compilation
*    Soft/optional/gradual typing
*    Hardware support
*    Educational approaches and perspectives
*    Semantics of dynamic languages
*    Frameworks and languages for the Cloud and the IoT

Submissions must not have been published previously nor being under review at
other events. Research papers should describe work that advances the current
state of the art. Experience papers should be of broad interest and should
describe insights gained from substantive practical applications. The program
committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance,
significance, clarity, and originality.

Papers are to be submitted electronically at https://dls17.hotcrp.com/ in PDF
format. Submissions must be in the ACM SIGPLAN Conference acmart Format, 10
point font, and should not exceed 12 pages. Please see full details in the
instructions for authors available at:

http://conf.researchr.org/track/dls-2017/dls-2017#Instructions-for-Authors

DLS 2017 will run a two-phase reviewing process to help authors make their final
papers the best that they can be. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM
Digital Library and will be freely available for one month, starting two weeks
before the event.
