Scope

Software Language Engineering (SLE) is the application of systematic, disciplined, and measurable approaches to the development, use, deploymentT2D, and maintenanceT2B of software languages. The term “software language” is used broadly, and includes: general-purpose programming languagesT3D; domain-specific languagesT3C (e.g. BPMN, SimulinkT4E, Modelica); modeling and metamodeling languagesT3A (e.g. SysML and UML); data models and ontologiesT3E (e.g. XML-based and OWL-based languages and vocabularies).

Topics of Interest

The overall principle of SLE is to be broad-minded and inclusive about relevance and scope. We solicit high-quality contributions in areas ranging from theoretical and conceptual contributions to tools, techniques, and frameworks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Tools and methods for software language designT1A and extension (incl. meta-languagesT3A, meta-toolsT4A, language workbenchesT4A)
Generative approachesT4C, transformationT4B and transformation languagesT3B, code generationT4C
Techniques for analysingT5B software language descriptions
Techniques for software language reuseT1E, evolutionT2B and managing variation (syntactic/semantic) within language familiesT2C
Integration and coordinationT1D of software languages and tools
Engineering Domain-Specific LanguagesT3C (for modeling, simulatingT4E, generationT4C, description, checkingT5D)
Novel applications and/or empirical studiesT5E on any aspect of SLE (development, use, deploymentT2D, and maintenanceT2B of software languages)
Cross-fertilizationT6D of different technological spaces (e.g. modelwareT6D, grammarwareT6D, etc)

Types of Submissions

Research papers: These should report a substantial research contribution to SLE or successful application of SLE techniques or both. Full paper submissions must not exceed 20 pages (in LNCS format).
Tool papers: Because of SLE’s ample interest in tools, we seek papers that present software tools related to the field of SLE. Selection criteria include originality of the tool, its innovative aspects, and relevance to SLE. Tool papers should include an appendix outlining the proposed demonstration, including screenshots etc. A short video may be linked as well. Tool paper submissions must not exceed 10 pages (in LNCS Format, excluding appendix).
IndustrialT6B position papers: These papers discuss practical applicationsT6B of SLE technology with an emphasis on the advantages and disadvantages of the method, techniques, or tools used. Industry paper submissions must not exceed 10 pages (in LNCS Format).
Bridging position papers: These papers discuss bridging ideas from the different areas of SLE (e.g. modelling, PL, grammars, etc). This includes both foundational ideas and/or practical techniques. Bridging position papers must not exceed 4 pages (in LNCS Format).
