IEEE Software Special Issue
Rapid Application Development with Dynamically Typed Languages
Call for Papers
Publication: September/October 2007
Submission Deadline: 1 February 2007
======================================================================
Dynamically typed programming languages were once seen as slow,
unreliable, and
suitable only for small throw-away tasks. However, their ability to
aid rapid systems
development and to facilitate the pervasive, mobile, and frequently
updated systems
that are increasingly in demand in the modern world has led to their
stock rising
considerably.
While developers are ever keen to find out more about the details of
dynamic programming
languages, managers are interested in finding out how they can
complement existing
approved languages without diluting their organizations' technical
focus.
We thus solicit contributions in several areas related to dynamic
programming languages.
Topics of interest include:
* Dynamic programming languages "in use".
* Organizations' experiences in integrating dynamic programming
languages
into their existing language menagerie.
* Experiences of and techniques for using dynamic programming
languages
effectively (including efficiency and scalability concerns).
* How dynamic programming languages have evolved and how they might
develop in the future.
* New techniques in challenging areas such as metaprogramming,
reflection,
dynamic reconfigurability, and mobility.
For detailed author guidelines, please visit:
http://www.computer.org/software/author.htmManuscripts must not exceed 5,400 words including figures and tables,
which count
for 200 words each. Submissions in excess of these limits may be
rejected without
refereeing. The articles we deem within the theme's scope will be
peer-reviewed and
are subject to editing for magazine style, clarity, organization, and
space.
