− Languages for Modeling,
− Model-Driven Development and Model Transformation,
− New Programming Language Ideas and Concepts,
− New Programming Paradigms,
− Practical Experiences with Programming Languages,
− Program Analysis and Verification,
− Program Generation and Transformation,
− Programming Languages from All Paradigms (Agent-Oriented, Aspect-Oriented,
Functional, Logic, Object-Oriented, etc.),

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Submissions should be in
electronic format, via the START site:
https://www.softconf.com/c/sac2013/.
Author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper,
and self-reference should be avoided and made
in the third person. Submitted papers will undergo a blind review process. 
Authors of accepted papers should submit an
editorial revision of their papers that fits within six two-column pages (an
extra two pages, to a total of eight pages,
may be available at a charge). Please comply with this page limitation already
at submission time. For accepted papers,
registration for the conference is required and allows accepted papers to be
printed in the conference proceedings.
For each accepted paper, an author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the
paper. This is a requirement for the paper
to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. A set of selected papers,
which did not get accepted as full papers,
will be accepted as poster papers and will be published as extended 2-page
abstracts in the symposium proceedings.
After the conference, selected accepted papers will be invited to a special
issue of the Computer Languages, Systems and
Structures journal
(http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-languages-systems-and-structures/).
