2013 International Conference on Principles and Practices of Programming on the Java platform

The Java platform is multi-faceted, covering a rich diversity of systems, languages, tools, frameworks, and techniques. PPPJ’13 – the 10th conference in the PPPJ series – provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss novel results on all aspects of programming on the Java platform including virtual machines, languages, tools, methods, frameworks, libraries, case studies, and experience reports.

TOPICS

Virtual machines for Java and Java-like language support:
– JVM and similar VMs
– VM design and optimization
– VMs for mobile and embedded devices
– Real-time VMs
– Isolation and resource control

Languages on the Java platform:
– JVM languages (Clojure, Groovy, Java, JRuby, Kotlin, Scala, …)
– Domain-specific languages
– Language design and calculi
– Compilers
– Language interoperability
– Parallelism and concurrency
– Modular and aspect-oriented programming
– Model-driven development
– Frameworks and applications
– Teaching

Techniques and tools for the Java platform:
– Static and dynamic program analysis
– Testing
– Verification
– Security and information flow
– Workload characterization

Do not hesitate to contact the PC Chair <walter.binder(at) usi.ch> to clarify whether a particular topic is in the scope of PPPJ’13 or not.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

PPPJ’13 submissions must conform to both the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions and to the SIGPLAN Republication Policy.

Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, and relevance to the conference.

Three types of paper submissions are accepted:

– Full research paper: up to 12 pages
– Short research paper: up to 6 pages
– Tool paper: up to 4 pages

Clearly indicate in the paper whether it is to be evaluated as a full research paper, short research paper, or tool paper. Papers that do not meet the formatting requirements or are too long for the respective paper type will be rejected without review.

All papers must conform to the ACM SIGPLAN style ‘sigplanconf.cls’ with a font size of 9 point (option ‘9pt’).

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM International Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the ACM Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference and present the paper. The authors of the best papers presented at PPPJ’13 will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a journal special issue.
