CALL FOR PAPERS

  Special Issue on Advanced Programming Techniques
  for Construction of Robust, General and Evolutionary Programs

  http://research.nii.ac.jp/~hu/pi13/

AIMS AND SCOPE

Programming is more than just writing programs. Programmers must be
concerned with many issues of programs such as robustness,
reliability, adaptability, and maintainability, while meeting
specifications. Many advanced new programming techniques, such as
dependently typed programming, generic programming and bidirectional
programming, have been developed to deal with these issues. This 
special issue aims at publishing high quality papers on these advanced
programming techniques that can lead to practical and effective
processes for constructing robust, general and evolutionary
programs. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are
not limited to:

 - Programming with dependent types
 - Staged programming
 - Generic programming
 - Polytypic programming
 - Bidirectional programming

SUBMISSION

Submissions for this special issue can be regular research papers or
survey/tutorial papers. They should not have been published or 
submitted elsewhere.  Manuscripts should be prepared according to 
the guidelines indicated in the information "For Authors":
