ESOP seeks contributions on all aspects of programming language research including, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Programming paradigms and styles: functional programming, object-oriented programming, logic programming, constraint programming, extensible programming languages, domain-specific languages, synchronous and real-time programming languages;
• Methods and tools to write and specify programs and languages: programming techniques, logical foundations, formal semantics, meta-programming, language-based security;
• Methods and tools for reasoning about programs: type systems, static and dynamic program analysis, program verification, testing;
• Methods and tools for implementation: program transformations, rewriting systems, partial evaluation, experimental evaluations, virtual machines, intermediate languages, run-time environments;
• Concurrency and distribution: process algebras, concurrency theory, parallel programming, service-oriented computing, distributed and mobile computing.
