                    IEEE Software Special Issue
   Rapid Application Development with Dynamically Typed Languages

                          Call for Papers

                Publication: September/October 2007
           Extended submission deadline: 15 February 2007

```

============================================================================

Dynamically typed programming languages were once seen as slow,  
unreliable,  
and suitable only for small throw-away tasks. However, their ability to  
aid  
rapid systems development and to facilitate the pervasive, mobile, and  
frequently updated systems that are increasingly in demand in the modern  
world has led to their stock rising considerably.

While developers are ever keen to find out more about the details of  
dynamic  
programming languages, managers are interested in finding out how they  
can  
complement existing approved languages without diluting their  
organizations’  
technical focus.

We thus solicit contributions in several areas related to dynamic  
programming languages. Topics of interest include:

- Dynamic programming languages “in use”.
- Organizations’ experiences in integrating dynamic programming  
languages  
into their existing language menagerie.
- Experiences of and techniques for using dynamic programming  
languages  
effectively (including efficiency and scalability concerns).
- How dynamic programming languages have evolved and how they might  
develop in the future.
- New techniques in challenging areas such as metaprogramming,  
reflection,  
dynamic reconfigurability, and mobility.

Manuscripts must not exceed 5,400 words including figures and tables,  
which  
count for 200 words each. Submissions in excess of these limits may be  
rejected without refereeing. The articles we deem within the theme’s  
scope  
will be peer-reviewed and are subject to editing for magazine style,  
clarity, organization, and space.
