Conference
The 1st International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE)
is devoted to topics related to artificial languages in software engineering.
SLE is an international research forum that aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia to expand
the frontiers of software language engineering. Historically, SLE emerged
from two established workshop series: LDTA (Language Descriptions, Tools,
and Applications) which has been a satellite event at ETAPS for the last 8
years, and ATEM which has been co-located with MODELS and WCRE
for the last 5 years. These, as well as several other conferences and
workshops, have investigated various aspects of language design,
implementation, and evolution but from different perspectives. SLE's
foremost mission is to encourage and organize communication between
communities that have traditionally looked at software languages from
different, more specialized, and yet complementary perspectives. SLE
emphasizes the fundamental notion of languages as opposed to any
realization in specific "technical spaces".
Scope
The term "software language" comprises all sorts of artificial languages
used in software development including general purpose programming
languages, domain-specific languages, modeling and metamodeling
languages, data models, and ontologies. We use this term in its broadest
sense. Thus, for example, modeling languages include UML and
UML-based languages, synchronous languages used in safety critical
applications, business process modeling languages, and web
application modeling languages, to name a few. Perhaps less
obviously, the term "software language" also comprises APIs and
collections of design patterns that are indeed implicitly defined languages.
Software language engineering is the application of a systematic,
disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, use, and
maintenance of these languages. Thus, the SLE conference is
concerned with all phases of the lifecycle of software languages;
these include the design, implementation, documentation, testing,
deployment, evolution, recovery, and retirement of languages. Of
special interest are tools, techniques, methods and formalisms that
support these activities. In particular, tools are often based on or
even automatically generated from a formal description of the
language. Hence, of special interest is the treatment of language
descriptions as software artifacts, akin to programs - while paying
attention to the special status of language descriptions, subject to
tailored engineering principles and methods for modularization,
refactoring,refinement, composition, versioning, co-evolution, and analysis.
