<Programming> 2017: Call for papers

<Programming> 2017 : The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming

April 3-6, 2017, Brussels, Belgium
http://2017.programming-conference.org

We started a new conference and journal focused on everything to do with
programming, including the experience of programming. We call the
conference <Programming> for short. Paper submissions and publications
are handled by the journal. Accepted papers must be presented at the
conference.

********************************************************
  CALL FOR PAPERS
********************************************************

<Programming> 2017 accept scholarly papers including essays that advance
the knowledge of programming. Almost anything about programming is in
scope, but in each case there should be a clear relevance to the act and
experience of programming.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS: December 1, 2016

We accept submissions covering several areas of expertise. These areas
include, but are not limited to:

• General-purpose programming
• Distributed systems programming
• Parallel and multi-core programming
• Graphics and GPU programming
• Security programming
• User interface programming
• Database programming
• Visual and live programming
• Data mining and machine learning programming
• Interpreters, virtual machines and compilers
• Modularity and separation of concerns
• Model-based development
• Metaprogramming and reflection
• Testing and debugging
• Program verification
• Programming education
• Programming environments
• Social coding

********************************************************
  CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
********************************************************

To build a community and to foster an environment where participants can
exchange ideas and experiences related to practical software
development, ‹Programming› will host a number of workshops, during the
days before the main conference. The workshops will provide a
collaborative forum to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to
conduct intensive discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate
efforts between representatives of a technical community. They are
intended as a forum for lively discussion of innovative ideas, recent
progress, or practical experience on programming and applied software
development in general for specific aspects, specific problems, or
domain-specific needs. We also encourage practical, hands-on workshops
in which participants actually experience one or several aspects of
practical software development.

WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS: November 15, 2016

The duration of workshops is in general one day, but we encourage the
submission of half-day workshop proposals on focused topics as well. In
exceptional situations, e.g., for workshops that involve actual practice
of programming-related activities, workshop organizers can request a 2
day workshop slot. If desired, the workshop proceedings can be published
in the ACM Digital Library.
