Introduction
We often use languages. Earlier, to communicate between ourselves. Later, to communicate with computers. And more recently, with the advent of networks, we found a way to make computers communicate between themselves. All these different forms of communication use languages, different languages, but they still share many similarities. In SLATE, we are interested in discussing these languages, organized in three main tracks:
- HHL Track: Processing Human-Human Languages, dedicated to the presentation and discussion of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools and applications.
- HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Languages, where researchers, developers, and educators exchange ideas and information on the latest academic or industrial work on the design, processing, assessment, and applications of programming languages.
- CCL Track: Processing Computer-Computer Languages, broad space for discussing (mark-up) languages for communication between computers, including those used for visualization and presentation of information to the end-user.
Important dates

Submission Guidelines
- Full papers — 8 to 14 pages, presented in 20+5 minutes, complete work, including a validation or discussion;
- Short papers — 6 to 8 pages, presented in 10+5 minutes, ongoing work, well anchored in the literature, but not yet fully validated;
