Juan Fumero

========================================================================
                            Call for Papers

              MPLR 2020 - 17th International Conference

              on Managed Programming Languages & Runtimes

            November 4-6, 2020 in Manchester, United Kingdom

                  https://mplr2020.cs.manchester.ac.uk/

                          Follow us @MPLR_Conf
========================================================================

The 17th International Conference on Managed Programming Languages &

Runtimes (MPLR, formerly ManLang) is a premier forum for presenting and

discussing novel results in all aspects of managed programming languages

and runtime systems, which serve as building blocks for some of the most

important computing systems in use, ranging from small-scale (embedded and

real-time systems) to large-scale (cloud-computing and big-data platforms)

and anything in between (desktop, mobile, IoT, and wearable applications).


This year, MPLR will be held in Manchester, UK, as permitted considering

Health and safety concerns.


For up-to-date details, check out the conference website:

https://mplr2020.cs.manchester.ac.uk/ and follow us on Twitter @MPLR_Conf.


The areas of interest include but are not limited to:


 * Languages and Compilers

    - Managed languages (e.g., Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, C#, F#, Clojure, Groovy, Kotlin, R, Smalltalk, Racket, Rust, Go, etc.)

    - Domain-specific languages

    - Language design

    - Compilers and interpreters

    - Type systems and program logics

    - Language interoperability

    - Parallelism, distribution, and concurrency


 * Virtual Machines

    - Managed runtime systems (e.g., JVM, Android Runtime (ART), V8, LLVM, .NET CLR, RPython, GraalVM, etc.)

    - VM design and optimization

    - VMs for mobile and embedded devices

    - VMs for real-time applications

    - Memory management and garbage collection

    - Hardware/software co-design


 * Techniques, Tools, and Applications

    - Static and dynamic program analysis

    - Testing and debugging

    - Refactoring

    - Program understanding

    - Program synthesis

    - Security and privacy

    - Performance analysis and monitoring

    - Compiler and program verification



Submission Categories

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


MPLR accepts four types of submissions:


 1. Regular research papers

      describing novel contributions involving managed language platforms.

      Research papers will be evaluated based on their relevance,

      novelty, technical rigor, and contribution to the state-of-the-art.


   Format: up to 12 pages, excluding bibliography and appendix


 2. Work-in-progress research papers

      describing promising new ideas, with perhaps less maturity than full

      Papers.

      Work-in-progress papers will be  evaluated with an emphasis on novelty
      and the potential of the new ideas instead of technical rigor and
      experimental results.


   Format: up to 6 pages, excluding bibliography and appendix


 3. Industry and tool papers

      presenting technical challenges and solutions for managed language

      platforms in the context of deployed applications and systems.

      Industry and tool papers will be evaluated on their relevance,

      usefulness, and results. Suitability for demonstration and availability

      will also be considered for tool papers.


    Format: up to 6 pages, excluding bibliography and appendix


 4. Posters

      They will be evaluated similarly to work-in-progress papers.

      Posters can accompany any submission as a way to provide additional

      demonstration and discussion opportunities.

  

    Format: poster and 1-page abstract


MPLR 2020 submissions must conform to the ACM Policy on Prior Publication

and Simultaneous Submissions and to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy.

See http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/



Author Instructions

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


Submissions need to use the ACM `acmart` format with the `sigconf` style:

https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template


If you are using LaTeX, submissions need to use the 'acmart' document class with the 'sigconf' option. For reviewing, please include page numbers in your submission

using the LaTeX command `\settopmatter{printfolios=true}`.
The standard settings of a 9 point font size and the

Libertine/Biolinum font family are to be kept.


All submissions need to be in PDF format.


MPLR uses single-blind reviewing, i.e., author names are generally included in submissions.


Please also ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black
and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct
and font sizes are legible.


Submission Site: https://mplr2020.cs.manchester.ac.uk/submissions/



Important Dates

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


Submission Deadline:     12 August 2020

Author Notification:     14 September 2020

Camera Ready:            05 October 2020

Conference Dates:     04-06 November 2020



All deadlines are 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h).


AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the

proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date

may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference.

The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent

filings related to published work.


COVID-19

--------


Given the uncertainties of the current situation, we want to assure you that

MPRL is going to happen. To increase the likelihood of having a physical conference, we are planning it for November.


If this won’t be possible, we are preparing a virtual MPLR, learning from the

conferences taking place right now and over the summer.


In either case, the submission and reviewing process will happen as outlined

to ensure timely feedback and continuity for our research work.
