Whether graduate students or tenured faculty, researchers need a forum to discuss new ideas and get helpful feedback from their peers. Our goal is to provide a supportive venue where early-stage work receives constructive criticism. Technical papers, insightful and clearly articulated experience reports, theoretical papers that propose and verify generalized principles, literature reviews, and position papers are also welcome. The majority of LIVE submissions are demonstrations of novel programming systems. Programming tools tailored to people will support this mode of working. People find it easier to start with concrete examples and generalize afterwards. We are interested in programming systems that make execution transparent, tangible and explorable. In the traditional view of programs, execution takes place behind the scenes, and leaves little record of what happened. “Structure-aware” programming environments understand and preserve that structure, and allow operations at the level of the structure, rather than at the level of raw text. A program is highly structured and meaningful to the programmer, even in traditionally invalid states. Liveness can also mean providing feedback about how the static meaning of the program is changing, such as its type. Live programming systems give the programmer immediate feedback on the output of a program as it is being edited, replacing the edit-compile-debug cycle with a fluid programming experience.
Here are some of the qualities that we care about: Embracing this insight leads to a different focus at LIVE compared to traditional PL workshops. Programmers don’t materialize programs out of thin air, but construct them out of existing programs. Whereas PL research traditionally focuses on programs, LIVE focuses more on the activity of programming. LIVE is a workshop exploring new user interfaces that improve the immediacy, usability, and learnability of programming.
Programming is cognitively demanding, and too difficult.
