I like the idea of this workshop. If someone is
going to OOPSLA
this year,
this may be interesting.
If someone plan to go there, let me know.
Cheers,
Alexandre

OOPSLA/Onward!)
Final version TBA
Workshop TBA, one-half or one-full day between October 25
and 29
SCOPE
Programming languages exist to enable programmers to develop
software
effectively. But how efficiently programmers can write software
depends on the usability of the languages and tools that they
develop
with. The aim of this workshop is to discuss methods, metrics and
techniques for evaluating the usability of languages and language
tools. The supposed benefits of such languages and tools cover a
large
space, including making programs easier to read, write, and
maintain;
allowing programmers to write more flexible and powerful programs;
and
restricting programs to make them more safe and secure.
We plan to gather the intersection of researchers in the programming
language, programming tool, and human-computer interaction
communities
to share their research and discuss the future of evaluation and
usability of programming languages and tools. We are also interested
in the input of other members of the programming research community
working on related areas, such as refactoring, design patterns,
program analysis, program comprehension, software visualization,
end-user programming, and other programming language paradigms. Some
particular areas of interest are:
- empirical studies of programming languages
- methodologies and philosophies behind language and tool evaluation
- software design metrics and their relations to the underlying
language
- user studies of language features and software engineering tools
- visual techniques for understanding programming languages
- critical comparisons of programming paradigms, such as
object-oriented vs. functional
- tools to support evaluating programming languages
SUBMISSIONS
Participants are invited to submit a position paper describing their
on going work. We will accept papers (from 4 to 6 pages) that
describe
work-in-progress or recently completed work based on the themes and
goals of the workshop or related topics, report on experiences
gained,
question accepted wisdom, raise challenging open problems, or
propose
speculative new approaches. Longer submissions will be considered,
but
all submissions must be fewer than 10 pages.
Submissions and final papers should be formatted using the ACM
SIGPLAN
10 point format. Templates for Word and LaTeX are available at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm; this site
also
contains links to useful information on how to write effective
submissions.
Accepted submissions will be made available through this website and
workshop participants are encouraged to have read the position
papers
before attending the workshop. Participants are also asked to
prepare
a presentation to support their position paper.
