Scala Days 2010 - Call for Speakers

Scala Days 2010 - Call for Speakers
====================================

Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express
common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe
way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and
functional languages.

Scala Days is a forum for researchers and practitioners to share new
ideas and results of interest to the Scala community. Scala Days
2010 will be held at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 15-16 April.

CALL FOR SPEAKERS
------------------

As part of Scala Days 2010, we will host a series of Technical
Talks, Experience Reports, and Tool Demonstrations. We invite
proposals from interested speakers who would like to present their
work experience with Scala, or give a demonstration of their project
or tool in front of a live audience; who would like to describe the
technical inner working of their Scala projects and the tools and
techniques they used to achieve their goals, or discuss Scala
technical topics of interest to the community.

We invite proposals for:

- Technical talks:
   - projects, tools, frameworks
   - programming techniques, libraries, compiler plugins,
     language extensions
   - other technical topics of interest to the Scala community

- Experience reports:
   - applications of Scala in industrial or academic contexts
   - language applications, DSLs, custom-designed libraries
   - integration in existing industrial environments
   - cost/benefit analyses, studies, results
   - experiences on Scala in education, teaching, research

- Demonstrations:
   - tools, applications, services, etc.
   - IDE integration, code development tools, programming facilities
   - interoperability with other languages or runtime environments
   - proofs of concept of projects in progress

To submit your proposal
------------------------

Please prepare an abstract of your talk (less than 1000 characters),
and submit it using the following link:

         http://days2010.scala-lang.org/node/add/submission

You may have to log in first; your usual Scala-lang account details
will work.

If you already submitted a complete paper to the First Scala
Workshop, you do not need to resubmit: your paper will be considered
for additional talks as well.

We will welcome submissions until 11 February 2010, and we will
notify all speakers by 17 February 2010.

We look forward to your proposals!
