SAC '04
Over the past eighteen 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 2004
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/sac2004".
This document is also available at "http://www.ecs.fullerton.edu/~jo/sac/" and "http://www.ecs.fullerton.edu/~jo/sac/sac2004-PL-CFP.pdf".
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES (PL) Track
A technical track on Programming
Languages will be held at SAC'04. 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,
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1) Original and unpublished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. Expanded versions of the accepted
papers will be considered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP quarterly Applied
Computing Review. 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.
The following submission guidelines must be strictly followed:
· Submit the original manuscripts in an electronic format to: <sacpl@ecs.fullerton.edu>. The file format should be PDF. The title of the submission should be the last name of the first author (e.g., If the first author is John Smith then the submission should be titled as "smith.pdf").
· 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.
· A separate cover sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and FAX) to which correspondence should be sent. This sheet should also be submitted in an electronic format to <sacpl@ecs.fullerton.edu> and it should be titled as "smith-cover.pdf".
· The body of paper should not exceed 4,000 words (approximately 15 pages, double-spaced, 12-point size). You may refer to the final copy format 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 including the title of the paper at the beginning (without having any author’s information) as a separate text file should be submitted. It should be titled as "smith-abstract.txt"
· Submit a cover page (PDF format), a manuscript (PDF format) and an abstract (TEXT format) as attachments to your email. Your submission email text should include the author(s) name(s), the title, and a contact point (name and email address) you prefer.
·
All submissions must be received by September 6, 2003.
