Programming Language Techniques for XML

An ACM SIGPLAN Workshop colocated with POPL 2007

Nice, France -- January 20, 2007

-- PLAN-X 2007 Aim and Scope

The XML data model and its associated languages add interesting twists
to programming language practice as well as theory. Just like its
four predecessors, the PLAN-X 2007 workshop turns the spotlight on how
programming languages can embrace, for example, tree-shaped XML data
structures, regular expression types extracted from schema
descriptions, very small or large XML instances, queries against XML
data, and XML transformations. XML reaches deep into all aspects of
language design, type systems, compilers, as well as runtimes and
PLAN-X 2007 is THE forum to present and discuss novel research work in
this area.

We invite contributions -- papers as well as software demonstrations
-- from members of the programming language, database, theory, and
document processing communities and look forward to a workshop in
which this diversity of contributions and attendees leads to lively
discussion and a fun event.

If you are architecting a software system that fuses programming
language and XML technology in interesting and innovative ways, please
submit a software demonstration proposal to PLAN-X 2007. The workshop
program will feature a special demo session. A two-page description of
the accepted software demonstrations will be included in the
proceedings.

PLAN-X 2007 will be held in cooperation with and just after POPL 2007,
the 34th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming
Languages in the Plaza Hotel in Nice, France, on Januar 20, 2007.


-- PLAN-X 2007 Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include the following (though interesting
and/or innovative papers on all aspects of programming languages for
XML are welcome):

- Design of programming and query languages for XML
- Programming in the XML data model itself (e.g., extending XQuery
into a full-fledged programming language)
- Formal accounts of XML and its processors (based on logic, automata,
variants of lambda calculus, etc.)
- Compilers and interpreters for XML-aware languages and optimization
techniques
- Type systems, schema languages, and other constraints (e.g., keys)
for tree-shaped data
- Tree automata and transducers
- Languages and systems that can cope with XML fragments (messages) or
very large XML instances (beyond main-memory size)
- Programming language glue between browsers, web services, and
databases
- Pioneering applications of XML-aware language technology


-- Proceedings

Accepted submissions will be collected to form the informal PLAN-X
2007 proceedings, to be indexed on Michael Ley's DBLP site and
distributed at the workshop. The material may thus be published
elsewhere at a later date.


-- Paper Format and Submission

The web-based paper submission site for PLAN-X 2007 is open!
Submit at URL

http://www.easychair.org/PLANX2007/

(Please register as a New User to obtain a login and
password for the submission site.)

PLAN-X 2007 calls for contributions relevant to the open list of
topics sketched above. We explicitly welcome reports on innovative,
off-beat, and ''early stage'' approaches as long as the submission
reports on original work not published or submitted elsewhere.

- Please format your papers according to the ACM guidelines and SIG
proceedings templates available at

http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html

The mandatory submission file format is PDF.

- Regular papers should not exceed 10 pages in length including
references and appendices, but shorter abstracts (of, e.g., 2000
words) often suffice and are acceptable as well.

- Software demonstration proposals are limited to 2 pages and should
include a sketch of the methods you employ as well as a description
of what exactly will be demoed. Please submit your demonstration
proposal via the regular paper submission site and add "(Demo)" to
your submission's title.


-- Important Dates

- Paper submission (extended): Tue, Oct 10, 2006, 5 PM (PDT)
- Notification of acceptance: Sat, Nov 25, 2006
