abstract: Domain-specific knowledge is traditionally integrated in the software development process in an ad hoc and partial fashion, without much formal basis or tools. Nevertheless, the concept of domain expertise intervenes at all stages of the continuum of modeling, programming, and compiling. Putting domain expertise at the center of the software development process entails providing abstractions that are well adapted to expressing problems in the domain, providing verifications that capture essential domain properties, and providing implementation strategies that take domain requirements into account.

These issues have been considered in the fields of modeling, programming, and compiling, but in isolation. Indeed, the field of domain-specific modeling has had little influence on the design of domain-specific programming languages, and the design of domain-specific programming languages has been considered independently of implementation techniques. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers in these fields to identify possible points of synergy, common problems and solutions, and visions for the future.

abstract: SIGSOFT 2008 brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to exchange new results related to both traditional and emerging fields of software engineering. SIGSOFT 2008 includes the 16th International Symposium on Foundations of Software Engineering, which features invited speakers and technical paper presentations. SIGSOFT 2008 also includes a program of workshops on current hot topics in software engineering, sessions for educators and students, and collocated events.

SIGSOFT 2008 workshops will provide opportunities for exchanging views, advancing ideas, and discussing preliminary results in various areas of software-engineering research and applications. SIGSOFT 2008 Software Engineering Educators Symposium (SEES) will consist of sessions on practical aspects of software-engineering education. A Doctoral Symposium and a Student Poster Session will provide special activities for students. Finally, SIGSOFT 2008 will host collocated events, includ

abstract: IEEE PerCom, now in its seventh year, is established as the worldwide premier scholarly venue in the areas of pervasive computing and communications. Since 2003, the conference has grown significantly in terms of quality and variety of the technical programs - it is recognized as a top tier conference by most universities and organizations across the world.

The conference boasts many workshops that have become popular and prestigious in the community. The Mark Weiser Best Paper award sponsored by Elsevier Publications is the most prestigious annual research paper award given in pervasive computing. The best of the best technical papers from PerCom are published in a special issue of the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal. Demonstration sessions at PerCom show case the very best working prototypes. Recently introduced events such as the Work-in-Progress Posters and the PhD Forum are already high quality events with a very competitive acceptance process.

abstract: Join us in Berkeley, CA, March 30–31, 2009, for the First USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Parallelism. HotPar '09 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of parallel computing. HotPar recognizes the broad impact of multicore computing and seeks relevant contributions from all fields, including application design, languages and compilers, systems, and architecture.

abstract: You might think that since objects have become mainstream there wouldn't be much left to explore about object oriented programming. Well, think again. What's left to discover? Lots!

Like how to address today's software challenges. OOPSLA attracts attendees interested in and presenters with innovative ideas about:

Programmer productivity Secure and reliable software Changing hardware platforms Ultra-large scale systems OOPSLA is the premier conference for innovative and thought-provoking ideas, for seeking comment on works in progress, and (frequently, we're proud to say) for presenting Turing Award lecturers on significant works.
