SAC '08
Over the past 22 years, the ACM Symposium on
Applied Computing has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists,
computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around
the world to interact and present their work. SAC 2008 is sponsored by the ACM
Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP). For additional
information, please check the SAC web page: "http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2008". This document is also available at

PROGRAMMING
LANGUAGES (PL) TRACK
A technical track on Programming Languages will be
held at SAC'08. It will be a forum for engineers, researchers and practitioners
throughout the world to share technical ideas and experiences relating to
implementation and application of programming languages. Original papers and
experience reports are invited in all areas of programming languages. Major
topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Compiling
Techniques, Domain-Specific Languages, Formal Semantics and Syntax, Garbage
Collection, Language Design and Implementation, Languages for Modeling,
Model-Driven Development and Model Transformation, New Programming Language
Ideas and Concepts, New Programming Paradigms, Practical Experiences with
Programming Languages, Program Analysis and Verification, Program Generation
and Transformation, Programming Languages from All Paradigms (Agent-Oriented,
Aspect-Oriented, Functional, Logic, Object-Oriented, etc.), Visual Programming
Languages.
GUIDELINES
FOR SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to contribute original papers
in all areas of experimental computing and application development relevant to
the theme of the track.
This includes the following categories of
submissions:
1) Original and
unpublished research work,
2) Reports of
innovative applications to the arts, sciences, engineering, and business
areas,
3) Reports of
successful technology transfer to new problem domains,
4) Reports of
industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems.
All submissions
will be peer reviewed. Papers will be selected based on their originality,
timeliness, significance, relevance and clarity of presentation.
Accepted papers
will be published in the symposium proceedings. A set of selected papers, which
did not get accepted as full papers, will be accepted as poster papers and will
be published as extended 2-page abstracts in the symposium proceedings. After the
conference, selected accepted papers will be invited to a special issue of the
Science of Computer Programming journal (as was the case for 2006 and 2007),
SCI IF (2005) = 0.734).
The following submission guidelines must be
strictly followed:
* Use
the webpage ¡°http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2008/¡±
to submit your paper. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the paper, and
self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind
review. Only the title should be shown at the first page without the author's
information.
* The
manuscript file format should be PDF. The body of paper should not exceed 4,000
words (approximately 15 pages, double-spaced, 12-point size). We strongly
recommend you use the final copy format shown at ¡°http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html¡±.
The total number of final pages without any extra page charge will be 5.
* An
abstract (.txt format) including the title of the paper at the beginning (without
having any author's information) should be also submitted.
* If
you have any problem to submit your paper via web, please contact ¡°Jeff Allen
<jallen AT cs.iupui.edu>¡± or ¡°<sac08pl AT
ecs.fullerton.edu>¡±.
