=======================================================<br>The Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages is a well-established symposium which provides a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in the fundamental principles and innovations in the design and implementation of programming languages and systems. SBLP 2016 will be held in Maringá, in the Southern region of Brazil, and will be the 20th edition of the symposium. SBLP is part of the 7th edition of CBSoft, the Brazilian Congress on Software: Theory and Practice.

Contributions should be written in Portuguese or English.<br><br>Papers should fall into one of two different categories: regular papers, which can be up to 15 pages long in LNCS format, or short papers, with up to 6 pages in LNCS format. Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated. We encourage the submission of short papers reporting partial results of on-going master dissertations or doctoral theses. <br><br>Accepted papers written in English will be published in a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), by Springer. Both regular and short papers must be prepared using the LNCS format, available at <a href="http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0" target="_blank">http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0</a>.<br><br>Papers must be submitted electronically (in PDF format) via the Easychair System: <a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2016" target="_blank">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sblp2016</a>.<br><br>As in previous editions, after the conference, authors of selected regular papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to be considered for publication in a journal special issue. Since 2009, selected papers of each SBPL edition are being published in a special issue of Science of Computer Programming, by Elsevier.<br><br><br>PROGRAM CHAIRS<br><br>Fernando Castor, Federal University of Pernambuco<br>Yu David Liu, State University of New York, Binghamton<br> <br><br>PROGRAM COMMITTEE<br><br>Luis Barbosa, University of Minho <br>Mariza Bigonha, Federal University of Minas Gerais <br>Roberto Bigonha, Federal University of Minas Gerais <br>Andre Rauber Du Bois, Federal University of Pelotas<br>Christiano Braga, Fluminense Federal University <br>Carlos Camarão, Federal University of Minas Gerais <br>Francisco Carvalho-Junior, Federal University of Ceara <br>Fernando Castor, Federal University of Pernambuco <br>Marcelo D'Amorim, Federal University of Pernambuco <br>João Paulo Fernandes, University of Beira Interior<br>João Ferreira, Teesside University <br>Lucilia Figueiredo, Federal University of Ouro Preto <br>Ismael Figueroa, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaiso <br>Alex Garcia, IME <br>Rodrigo Geraldo, Federal University of Ouro Preto <br>Roberto Ierusalimschy, PUC-Rio <br>Rafael Lins, Federal University of Pernambuco <br>Yu David Liu, State University of New York at Binghamton<br>Hans-Wolfgang Loidl, Heriot-Watt University <br>Marcelo Maia, Federal University of Uberlândia <br>Manuel-A.
