Workshop on Meta-Programming Techniques and Reflection
Co-located with SPLASH 2017
October 22, 2017, Vancouver, Canada

The heterogeneity of mobile computing, cloud applications, multicore
architectures, and other systems leads to increasing complexity of software
and
requires new approaches to programming languages and software engineering
tools. To manage the complexity, we require generic solutions that can be
adapted to specific application domains or use cases, making
metaprogramming an
important topic of research once more. However, the challenges with
metaprogramming are still manifold. They start with fundamental issues such
as
typing of reflective programs, continue with practical concerns such as
performance and tooling, and reach into the empirical field to understand
how
metaprogramming is used and how it affects software maintainability. Thus,
while industry accepted metaprogramming on a wide scale with Ruby, Scala,
JavaScript and others, academia still needs to answer a wide range of
questions
to bring it to the same level of convenience, tooling, and programming
styles
to cope with the increasing complexity of software systems.
This workshop aims to explore meta-level technologies that help tackling the
heterogeneity, scalability and openness requirements of emerging
computations
platforms.
### Topics of Interest
The workshop is a venue for all approaches that embrace metaprogramming:
- from static to dynamic techniques
- reflection, meta-level architectures, staging, open language runtimes
applications to middleware, frameworks, and DSLs
- optimization techniques to minimize runtime overhead
- contract systems, or typing of reflective programs
reflection and metaobject protocols to enable tooling
- case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g., to build
applications,
language extensions, or tools
- empirical evaluation of metaprogramming solutions
- security in reflective systems and capability-based designs
- meta-level architectures and reflective middleware for modern runtime
platforms (e.g. IoT, cyber-physical systems, mobile/cloud/grid computing,
etc)
- surveys, conceptualization, and taxonomization of existing approaches
In short, we invite contributions to the workshop on a wide range of topics
related to design, implementation, and application of reflective APIs and
meta-programming techniques, as well as empirical studies and typing for
such
systems and languages.
### Workshop Format and Submissions
This workshop welcomes the presentation of new ideas and emerging problems
as
well as mature work as part of a mini-conference format. Furthermore, we
plan
interactive brainstorming and demonstration sessions between the formal
presentations to enable an active exchange of ideas.
The workshop papers will be published in the ACM DL, if not requested
otherwise by the authors. Thus, they will be part of SPLASH workshop
proceedings. Therefore, papers are to be submitted using the SIGPLAN acmart
style: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/.
Please use the provided double-column templates for
Latex
http://www.sigplan.org/sites/default/files/acmart/current/
acmart-sigplanproc-template.tex)
or Word
http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.
- technical paper: max. 8 pages, excluding references
- position and work-in-progress paper: 1-4 pages, excluding references
- technology demos or a posters: 1-page abstract
Demos, posters, position and work-in-progress papers can be submitted on a
second, later deadline to discuss the latest results and current work.
For the submission, please use the submission system at:
https://meta17.hotcrp.com/
