			 CALL FOR PAPERS

			Languages and Tools

Historically, UNIX has been an unparalleled breeding ground for
(scripting) languages and tools.  Languages that existed for years have
evolved to suit their users, while new languages continue to pop up.  In
recent times, we have also seen the advent of complete integrated
development environments like XML, .NET, and mono.

The Program Committee is looking for speakers with a good story to
tell about their positive and negative experiences with tools and
languages, especially in the UNIX environment.  What problems have you
encountered?  What were the solutions?  We would like to see presentations
reflecting both the technical and non-technical aspects of software
development, including discussions about analysis, design, and (project)
management.  Possible presentation topics are:

- Scripting languages like:  Python, PHP, Perl, Ruby, Javascript, etc..
- Compiled languages like:  C, C++, Java, C#, etc..
- What is the best language for a specific application?
- Practical experiences with certain languages, or the choice therefore
- Interoperability with .NET and mono
- Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
- Applications frameworks and application-generators
- Tools for the manipulation of audio, video, and photographic material
- XML tools
- Tools for embedded system development
- Programming techniques, like extreme programming
- Tools for project management
- Change and revision management tools
- Bug tracking tools
- System monitoring tools

This conference offers the opportunity for both presentations and a
limited number of tutorials.  In a presentation, the author has approx. 40
minutes to present a topic to the public.  In a tutorial, a language or
tool will be explained for 3 hours, to a select audience.  We urge
everyone with an interesting tutorial or presentation topic to submit an
abstract to the Program Committee before 1 August 2005.  Abstracts can
only be submitted via the web:
http://www.nluug.nl/cgi-bin/nj2005-abstract-en.

The accepted speakers will need to submit a paper for publication in the
conference proceedings before 3 October 2005.  These papers will be
published on the NLUUG website after the conclusion of the 2005 Fall
Conference.

Even though Dutch will be the primary language at the conference,
English-language presentations and tutorials are also welcome.
