This is probably very interesting!

> Abstract
> -----------
>
> In industry, static languages (such as Java, C++ and C#) are much more 
> widely used than their dynamic counterparts (like CLOS, Python, Self, 
> Perl, php or Smalltalk). So it appears as though dynamic language 
> concepts were forgotten and lost the race.
>
> But this is not the case.
>
> Java and C#, the latest mainstream static languages, popularized to a 
> certain extent dynamic language features such as garbage collection, 
> portability and (limited forms of) reflection. In the near future, we 
> expect this dynamicity to increase even further. E.g., it is getting 
> clearer year after year that pervasive computing is becoming the rule 
> and that concepts such as meta programming, reflection, mobility, 
> dynamic reconfigurability and distribution are becoming increasingly 
> popular. All of these features are the domain of dynamic languages, 
> and hence it is only logical that more dynamic language concepts have 
> to be taken up by static languages, or that dynamic languages can make 
> a breakthrough.
>
> Currently, the dynamic language community is fragmented, split over a 
> multitude of paradigms (from functional over logic to 
> object-oriented), languages and syntaxes. This fragmentation severely 
> hinders research as well as acceptance, and results in either language 
> wars or, even worse, language ignorance. The goal of this symposium is 
> to provide a highly visible, international forum for researchers 
> working on dynamic features and languages. We explicitly invite 
> submissions from all kinds of paradigms (object-oriented, functional, 
> logic, ...), as can be seen
>> from the structure of the program committee.
>
> Areas of interests include, but are not limited to:
> - closures
> - delegation
> - actors, active objects
> - constraint systems
> - mixins and traits
> - reflection and meta-programming
> - language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages
> - experience reports on successful application of dynamic languages
>
> Accepted Papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

> Submission Guidelines

>
> Papers will need to be submitted using an online tracking system, of 
> which the URL will be given later.
>
> All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format (or 
> PostScript, if you do not have access to PDF-producing programs, but 
> this is not recommended). Submissions, as well as final versions, must 
> be formatted to conform to ACM Proceedings requirements: Nine point 
> font on ten point baseline, two columns per page, each column 3.33 
> inches wide by 9 inches tall, with a column gutter of 0.33 inches, 
> etc. See the ACM Proceedings Guidelines. You can save preparation time 
> by using one of the templates from that page. Note that MS Word 
> documents must be converted to PDF before being submitted.
