The Dynamic Languages Symposium is a one-day event that takes place October 18th 2005. We are pleased to announce that Gerald Sussman will give a keynote speech at the Dynamic Languages Symposium. We also have three invited speeches from a number of well-known people: Gilad Bracha, Brian E. Foote and Jans Aasman.

Five papers have been accepted for the symposium and will be presented. We have devided them in the following two groups:

• Language Mechanisms and Extensions:
  • Language Constructs for Context-oriented Programming - An Overview of ContextL (Pascal Costanza, Robert Hirschfeld).
  • Flexible Object Encapsulation for Ambient-Oriented Programming (Wolfgang De Meuter, Éric Tanter, Stijn Mostinckx, Tom Van Cutsem, Jessie Dedecker).
  • Higher Order Messaging (Marcel Weiher, Stéphane Ducasse)
• Language Reasoning:
  • Dynamic Data Polyvariance Using Source-Tagged Classes (S. Alexander Spoon and Olin Shivers).
  • Compile-time meta-programming in a dynamically typed OO language (Laurence Tratt).

Besides these talks there will also be a "Birds of a Feather Session" session on Implementing Dynamic Languages on the .NET CLR, organized by John Gough. This will be from 15:30 till 17:00 in the Sunrise room.
