Scope:
------
The aim of this one day workshop is to bring together researchers
from academia and industry interested in the field of formal
language definitions and language technologies, with a special
emphasis on tools developed for or with these language
definitions. Some of the scientific areas that take advantage
from these active research fields are:
- Program analysis, transformation, generation
- Formal analysis of language properties
- Automatic generation of language processing tools
For example, language definitions can be augmented in a manner so
that not only compilers and interpreters can be automatically
generated but also other tools such as syntax-directed editors,
debuggers, partial evaluators, test generators, documentation
generators, etc. These beneficial results are well known and we
would like to make them widely exploited in current practice.
Domains of applications that are of interest for this workshop
are among others:
- Language components, modeling languages
- Re-engineering, re-factoring
- Aspect-oriented programming, adaptive programming
- Domain-specific languages
- XML processing
- Visualization and graph transformation
The workshop welcomes contributions on all aspects of formal
language definitions, with special emphasis on applications and
tools developed for or with these language definitions. We also
encourage contributions on the use of these methodologies in
education.
Tool demonstrations:
--------------------
The one day LDTA 2004 workshop program will also include a
session on tool demonstrations.
Submission procedure and publication:
-------------------------------------
Authors should submit a full paper (15-20 pages) to LDTA 2004
program committee chairs. Tool demo papers (2 pages) should also
be submitted to the PC chairs. Further information will be
available at the LDTA 2004 home page.
Accepted papers will be published and available during the
workshop. After revision, final copies of the accepted papers
will be published in Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer
Science (ENTCS), Elsevier Science. Author's instructions are
given here. The authors of the best papers will be invited to
write a journal version of their paper which will be separately
reviewed and after acceptance be published in a special issue
devoted to LDTA 2004 of the journal Science of Computer
Programming (Elsevier Science).
