***** Call for papers *****

The 5th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at OOPSLA 2009 is a forum for 
discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation and application. 
While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, Self, 
Prolog, and APL continue to grow and inspire new converts, a new 
generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, 
Tcl, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications. DLS 
provides a place for researchers and practitioners to come together and 
share their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and 
development.

DLS 2009 invites high quality papers reporting original research, 
innovative contributions or experience related to dynamic languages, 
their implementation and application. Accepted Papers will be published 
in the ACM Digital Library.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

* Innovative language features and implementation techniques
* Development and platform support, tools
* Interesting applications
* Domain-oriented programming
* Very late binding, dynamic composition, and runtime adaptation
* Reflection and meta-programming
* Software evolution
* Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages
* Dynamic optimization
* Hardware support
* Experience reports and case studies
* Educational approaches and perspectives
* Object-oriented, aspect-oriented, and context-oriented programming

=== Submissions and proceedings ===

We invite original contributions that neither have been published 
previously nor are under review by other refereed events or 
publications. Research papers should describe work that advances the 
current state of the art. Experience papers should be of broad interest 
and should describe insights gained from substantive practical 
applications. The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper 
based on its relevance, significance, clarity, and originality.

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

Papers are to be submitted electronically at 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=dls2009 in PDF format. 
Submissions must not exceed 12 pages and need to use the ACM format, 
templates for which can be found at 
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

=== Important dates ===

Submission of papers: June 1, 2009 (hard deadline)
Author notification: July 13, 2009
Final versions due: August 4, 2009
OOPSLA 2009: October 25-29
