INTRODUCTION

Reactive programming and event-based programming are two closely related
programming styles that are becoming more important with the ever
increasing requirement for applications to run on the web or on mobile
devices,
and the advent of advanced High-Performance Computing (HPC) technology.

A number of publications on middleware and language design -- so-called
reactive and event-based languages and systems (REBLS) -- have already seen
the
light, but the field still raises several questions. For example, the
interaction with mainstream language concepts is poorly understood,
implementation technology is still lacking, and modularity mechanisms remain
largely unexplored. Moreover, large applications are still to be developed,
and, consequently, patterns and tools for developing large reactive
applications are still in their infancy.

This workshop will gather researchers in reactive and event-based languages
and
systems. The goal of the workshop is to exchange new technical research
results
and to better define the field by developing taxonomies and discussing
overviews of the existing work.

We welcome all submissions on reactive programming, functional reactive
programming, and event- and aspect- oriented systems, including but not
limited
to:

* Language design, implementation, runtime systems, program analysis,
  software metrics, patterns and benchmarks.

* Formal models for reactive and event-based programming.

* Study of the paradigm: interaction of reactive and event-based
  programming with existing language features such as object-oriented
  programming, pure functional programming, mutable state, concurrency.

* Modularity and abstraction mechanisms in large systems.

* Advanced event systems, event quantification, event composition,
  aspect-oriented programming for reactive applications.

* Functional Reactive Programming (FRP), self-adjusting computation and
  incremental computing.

* Synchronous languages, modeling real-time systems, safety-critical
  reactive and embedded systems.

* Applications, case studies that show the efficacy of reactive
  programming.

* Empirical studies that motivate further research in the field.

* Patterns and best-practices.

* Related fields, such as complex event processing, reactive data
  structures, view maintenance, constraint-based languages, and their
  integration with reactive programming.

* Implementation technology, language runtimes, virtual machine support,
  compilers.

* IDEs, Tools.

The format of the workshop is that of a mini-conference. Participants can
present their work in slots of 30 mins with Q&A included. Because of the
declarative nature of reactive programs, it is often hard to understand
their semantics just by looking at the code. We therefore also encourage
authors to use their slots for presenting their work based on live demos.

SUBMISSIONS

REBLS encourages submissions of two types of papers:

* Full papers: papers that describe complete research results. These papers
  will be published in the ACM digital library.

* In-progress papers: papers that have the potential of triggering an
  interesting discussion at the workshop or present new ideas that require
  further systematic investigation. These papers will not be published in
  the ACM digital library.

Format:

* Submissions should use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference acmart Format with the
  two-column, sigplan Subformat, 10 point font, using Biolinum as sans-serif
  font and Libertine as serif font. All submissions should be in PDF
format. If
  you use LaTeX or Word, please use the ACM SIGPLAN acmart Templates.

  The page http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format contains
  instructions for authors, and a package that includes an example file
  acmart-sigplan.tex.

* Authors are required to explicitly specify the type of paper in the
  submission (i.e., full paper, in-progress paper).

* Full papers can be *up to* 12 pages in length, excluding references.
  In-progress papers can be *up to* 6 pages, excluding references.
  Papers do not need to make use of all pages, but they will be summarily
  rejected if they exceed the page limits.

Instructions for the Authors:

* Papers should be submitted through: https://rebls20.hotcrp.com/

* For fairness reasons, all submitted papers should conform to the
formatting
  instructions. Submissions that violate these instructions will be
summarily
  rejected.

* Program Committee members are allowed to submit papers, but their papers
will
  be held to a higher standard.

* Papers must describe unpublished work that is not currently submitted for
  publication elsewhere as described by SIGPLAN’s Republication Policy
  (http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication).
  Submitters should also be aware of ACM’s Policy and Procedures on
Plagiarism.

* All submissions are expected to comply with the ACM Policies for
Authorship
  detailed at
https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors.
