[rede.APPIA] SLATE 2020 – Call for Papers

————————————————————————-
  SLATE2020: Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies

  Barcelos, Portugal, July 13-14, 2020

————————————————————————-

We often use languages. Earlier, to communicate between ourselves. Later,
to communicate with computers. And more recently, with the advent of
networks, we found a way to make computers communicate between themselves.
All these different forms of communication use languages, different
languages, but that still share many similarities. In SLATE, we are
interested in discussing these languages, organized in three main tracks:

  * HHL Track:
    Processing Human-Human Languages, dedicated to the presentation and
    discussion of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools and applications.
   
  * HCL Track:
    Processing Human-Computer Languages, where researchers, developers,
    and educators exchange ideas and information on the latest academic
    or industrial work on the design, processing, assessment, and
    applications of programming languages.

  * CCL Track:
    Processing Computer-Computer Languages, broad space for discussing
    (mark-up) languages for communication between computers, including
    those used for visualization and presentation of information to the
    end-user.
