Special Issue of Elsevier’s Science of Computer Programming (SCICO) to Feature “Advances in Dynamic Languages”

Posted on by Author Jeremy Jordan in Categories Smalltalk

In recent years, we have seen an increased interest in dynamic programming languages such as Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, PHP, JavaScript, Self, Python, Ruby and others. These languages have taken a prominent role in teaching, web development, scripting, rapid prototyping, tool building, language engineering and many other domains.

For this special issue of Elsevier’s Science of Computer Programming (SCICO), publishers are inviting high-quality papers that focus on novel research related to dynamic programming languages and applications of these languages.

They are interested in research that uses dynamic languages in the context of, but not restricted to:

  • Aspects, aspect Languages and applications
    • Ambient intelligence, ubiquitous/pervasive computing and embedded systems
  • Compilation technology, optimization and virtual machines
  • Language engineering and extensions
  • Model-driven engineering/development
  • Meta-modeling, reflection and meta-programming
  • Programming in the large — design, architectures and components
    • Programming environments, browsers, user interfaces and UI frameworks
    • Source-code analysis and manipulation (static analysis, refactoring, type inference and metrics)
  • Testing and eXtreme programming/practices
  • Web services, internet applications and event-driven programming
  • Experience reports

The special issue is associated with the Smalltalks 2011 Conference, which is part of a series of conferences (www.fast.org.ar) representing a lively forum on Smalltalk-based software technologies that brings together more than 200 people from both academia and industry for a period of three days.
