The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming

Call for Papers for Volume 4, Issue 3

http://programming-journal.org/cfp/ Follow us on Twitter: @programmingconf ========================================================================

The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming was created with the goal of placing the wonderful art of programming on the map of scholarly works. Many academic journals and conferences exist that publish research related to programming, starting with programming languages, software engineering, and expanding to the whole Computer Science field. Yet, many of us feel that, as the field of Computer Science expanded, programming, in itself, has been neglected to a secondary role not worthy of scholarly attention. That is a serious gap, as much of the progress in Computer Science lies on the basis of computer programs, the people who write them, and the concepts and tools available to them to express computational tasks.

The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming aims at closing this gap by focusing primarily on programming: the art itself (programming styles, pearls, models, languages), the emerging science of understanding what works and what doesn’t work in general and in specific contexts, as well as more established engineering and mathematical perspectives.

We solicit papers describing work from one of the following perspectives:

Art: knowledge and technical skills acquired through practice and personal experiences. Examples include libraries, frameworks, languages, APIs, programming models and styles, programming pearls, and essays about programming.

Science (Theoretical): knowledge and technical skills acquired through mathematical formalisms. Examples include formal programming models and proofs.

Science (Empirical): knowledge and technical skills acquired through experiments and systematic observations. Examples include user studies and programming-related data mining.

Engineering: knowledge and technical skills acquired through designing and building large systems and through calculated application of principles in building those systems. Examples include measurements of artifacts’ properties, development processes and tools, and quality assurance methods.

Independent of the type of work, the journal accepts submissions covering several areas of expertise, including but not limited to:

- General-purpose programming - Data mining and machine learning programming, and for programming - Database programming - Distributed systems programming - Graphics and GPU programming - Interpreters, virtual machines, and compilers - Metaprogramming and reflection - Model-based development - Modularity and separation of concerns - Parallel and multi-core programming - Program verification - Programming education - Programming environments - Security programming - Social coding - Testing and debugging - User interface programming - Visual and live programming

All details, including the selection process are described on http://programming-journal.org/cfp/

Details on the submission processed are available at http://programming-journal.org/submission/

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present at the <Programming>’20 conference in Porto, Portugal from March 23-26: https://2020.programming-conference.org/
