SBLP 2018 is the 22nd edition of the Brazilian Symposium on
Programming Languages. It is promoted by the Brazilian Computer
Society (SBC) and constitutes a forum for researchers, students and
professionals to present and discuss ideas and innovations in the
design, definition, analysis, implementation and practical use of
programming languages.

SBLP's first edition was in 1996. Since 2010, it is part of CBSoft,
the Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice
(http://cbsoft.org/cbsoft2018/).

Submission Guidelines
________________________________________________________________________________

Papers can be written in Portuguese or English. Submission in English
is strongly encouraged since the symposium proceedings are indexed in
the ACM Digital Library. The acceptance of a paper implies that at
least one of its authors will register for the symposium to present
it. Papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to
another journal or conference.

Papers must be submitted electronically (in PDF format) via the
Easychair System:
   http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2018

The following paper categories are welcome (page limits include
figures, references and appendices):

     Full papers: up to 8 pages long in ACM 2-column conference
     format, available at
     http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

     Short papers: up to 3 pages in the same format, can discuss new
     ideas which are at an early stage of development or can report
     partial results of on-going dissertations or theses.

List of Topics (related but not limited to the following)
________________________________________________________________________________

    • Programming paradigms and styles, scripting and domain-specific
      languages and support for real-time, service-oriented,
      multi-threaded, parallel, and distributed programming
    • Program generation and transformation
    • Formal semantics and theoretical foundations: denotational,
      operational, algebraic and categorical
