Dear colleges,

You might want to consider Dyla’07 as a good venue to present your work  
using your favourite programming language

Regards,

# Objective

The goal of this workshop is to act as a forum where we can discuss new  
advances in the conception, implementation and application of  
object-oriented languages that radically diverge from the statically  
typed class-based reflectionless doctrine. The goal of the workshop is  
to discuss new as well as older “forgotten” languages and features in  
this context. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited  
to:

- agents, actors, active object, distribution, concurrency and  
mobility
- delegation, prototypes, mixins
- first-class closures, continuations, environments
- reflection and meta-programming
- (dynamic) aspects for dynamic languages
- higher-order objects & messages
- … other exotic dynamic features which you would categorize as OO
- multi-paradigm & static/dynamic-marriages
- (concurrent/distributed/mobile/aspect) virtual machines
- optimisation of dynamic languages
- automated reasoning about dynamic languages
- “regular” syntactic schemes (cf. S-expressions, Smalltalk, Self)
- Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, Scheme, Lisp, Self, ABCL, Prolog, …
- … any topic relevant in applying and/or supporting dynamic  
languages.

We solicit high-quality submissions on research results  
and/or experience. Submitted papers must be unpublished  
and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions  
should not exceed 10 pages, LNCS format ([Lecture Notes in Computer Science LNCS | Springer | Springer — International Publisher](http://www.springer.com/lncs)).

# Submission

Prospective attendees are requested to submit a position paper or an  
essay (max 10 pages, references included) on a topic relevant to the  
workshop to Alexandre Bergel (removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid). Submissions  
are demanded to be in .pdf format and should arrive before May 13, 2007.

A selection of the best papers will be made, which will require an  
extension for an inclusion in a special issue in Electronic  
Communications of the EASST ([eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de](http://eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de)). For this  
purpose, a new deadline will be set after the workshop.

Moreover, Springer publishes a Workshop-Reader (as in the case of  
previous ECOOPs) which appears after the Conference and which contains  
Workshop-Reports (written by the organizers) and not the position papers  
submitted by the participants.
