1st Workshop on Meta-Programming Techniques and Reflection (META 2016)

The workshop is a venue for all approaches that embrace metaprogramming:

• from static to dynamic techniques

• reflection, meta-level architectures, staging, open language runtimes applications to middleware, frameworks, and DSLs

• optimization techniques to minimize runtime overhead

• contract systems, or typing of reflective programs reflection and metaobject protocols to enable tooling

• case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g., to build applications, language extensions, or tools

• empirical evaluation of metaprogramming solutions

• security in reflective systems and capability-based designs

• meta-level architectures and reflective middleware for modern runtime platforms (e.g. IoT, cyber-physical systems, mobile/cloud/grid computing, etc)

• surveys, conceptualization, and taxonomization of existing approaches

In short, we invite contributions to the workshop on a wide range of topics related to design, implementation, and application of reflective APIs and meta-programming techniques, as well as empirical studies and typing for such systems and languages.
