Abstract
The success of the humankind relies on our ability to communicate and transform the world. For ages we developed tools and technologies that allowed us to thrive and prosper. As we expanded to every corner of the planet we created languages that enabled us to communicate and record knowledge, even if they also become barriers to communication in themselves. Technology and language have always been interconnected. Technologies to record language gave birth to history and the written language allowed us to preserve knowledge, including knowledge on technologies. Technology reshaped language as books, radio shows or motion pictures made us aware of how other people communicate. But technologies and language were not completely blend together until computers and networks become our favourite tool to communicate and transform the world. The goal of the Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE) is to be a forum to discuss the different ways in which language and technology interplay in computer science, and they are many. The symposium is divided into three main tracks, each one focusing a specific aspect of languages, from natural languages to compilers. * The HHL (Human-Human Languages) track is dedicated to the discussion of research projects and ideas involving natural language processing and their industrial application. * The HCL (Human-Computer Languages) track is where researchers, developers and educators exchange ideas and information on the latest academic or industrial work on language design, processing, assessment and applications. * The CCL (Computer-Computer Languages) track main goal is to provide a broad space for discussion about the XML markup language, examples of usage and associated technologies. SLATE follows the footsteps of two former conferences: CoRTA, the Conference on Compilers, Related Technologies and Applications; and XATA, the conference on XML, Applications and Applied Technologies, both with more than a decade of history. This volume contains the proceedings of the 2nd edition of SLATE, held in the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Portugal, during June 20-21, 2013. This year, SLATE received a total of 26 paper submissions for the three tracks. Each submission was reviewed by at least three Program Committee members, which included 55 researchers (counting sub-reviewers). At the end, 19 papers were selected for publication and presentation at the symposium, resulting in a 27% rejection rate. The set of accepted papers present a variety of contributions and were divided into the following five sessions for presentation at the symposium: * Software Development Tools, includes four articles on programming languages compilation and analysis; * XML and Applications, includes four articles on the usage of XML in different areas, ranging from the annotation of documents to its use on the semantic web; * Languages on Learning Environments, includes three articles that focus the automation on exercises generation and evaluation; * Domain Specific Languages, includes four articles on languages for specific languages, from music, robots or graphical user interfaces; * Natural Language Processing, includes four articles related to processing and teaching natural languages. In addition to these sessions, the program also included two keynote presentations, one on the PICAT system, a scalable logic-based language, by Neng-Fa Zhou (Brooklyn College, New York), and another on software languages and their history, by Jean-Marie Favre (University of Grenoble, France). The organizers of SLATE 2013 are in debt to many people without whom this event would never been possible. We wish to thank to our sponsors for making this event possible and to the EasyChair conference management system for simplifying our task. Thanks must go also to the authors of all submitted papers for their contribution and interest in the symposium and to the participants for making the event a meeting point for a fruitful exchange of ideas and feedback on recent developments. Finally, we want to express our gratitude to the Program Committee members and sub-reviewers, as the symposium would not have been possible without their dedicated time and knowledge in evaluating and ranking so many submissions from so many different topics. To all, our deepest thanks!

Software Languages: The Linguistic Continuum (Invited Talk)

Authors: Jean-Marie Favre

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 29, 2nd Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (2013)

Abstract
While computers are linguistic machines moving symbols around, Informatics is BY and FOR people. I claim here that the gap between Computer Languages and Human Languages is, as a matter of fact, filled by a wide spectrum of Software Languages. My point is that the notion of Software Language goes far beyond Programming Languages; just like Informatics is indeed much more than Computer Science. After a very brief retrospective on the history of languages and Information Technologies, I show that nowadays nearly all kinds of languages are indeed amenable to be represented as software; at least to some certain extent. Software Languages include not only the languages used typically in Software Engineering (e.g. Modeling Languages, Specification Languages, Architecture Description Languages, Query Languages, and so on), but also all kinds of Domain Specific Languages that originate from all other areas of human activities. As a matter of fact, although Scientific Languages, Engineering Languages and Business Languages existed long before Computers we all witness today the progressive transformation of these languages into their counterpart as Software Languages. Software Languages can take many different incarnations such as grammars, ontologies, schemas or metamodels. Moreover, these descriptions are often missing as many languages remain "implicit" or just exist in the form of proto-languages. I do not claim here that the notion of "Software Language" is clear cut or well understood. I just advocate that since these languages could reveal to be fundamental in the context of the Information Age they should be (1) studied from a scientific point of view in an integrative approach, and (2) developed and evolved in principled ways. This leads the emerging fields of Software Linguistics and Software anguage Engineering respectively.

Towards Formally Verified Optimizing Compilation in Flight Control Software

Authors: Ricardo Bedin França, Denis Favre-Felix, Xavier Leroy, Marc Pantel, and Jean Souyris

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 18, Bringing Theory to Practice: Predictability and Performance in Embedded Systems (2011)

Abstract
This work presents a preliminary evaluation of the use of the CompCert formally specified and verified optimizing compiler for the development of level A critical flight control software. First, the motivation for choosing CompCert is presented, as well as the requirements and constraints for safety-critical avionics software. The main point is to allow optimized code generation by relying on the formal proof of correctness instead of the current un-optimized generation required to produce assembly code structurally similar to the algorithmic language (and even the initial models) source code. The evaluation of its performance (measured using WCET) is presented and the results are compared to those obtained with the currently used compiler. Finally, the paper discusses verification and certification issues that are raised when one seeks to use CompCert for the development of such critical software.

Megamodelling and Etymology

Authors: Jean-Marie Favre

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5161, Transformation Techniques in Software Engineering (2006)

Abstract
Is a model of a model, a metamodel? Is the relational model a metamodel? Is it a model? What is a component metamodel? Is it a model of a component model? The word MODEL is subject to a lot of debates in Model Driven Engineering. Add the notion of metamodel on top of it and you will just enter what some people call the Meta-muddle. Recently megamodels have been proposed to avoid the meta-muddle. This approach is very promising but it does not solve however the primary problem. That is, even a simple use of the word Model could lead to misunderstanding and confusion. This paper tackles this problem from its very source: the polysemic nature of the word MODEL. The evolution and semantic variations of the word MODEL are modelled from many different perspectives. This papers tells how the prefix MED in indo-european has lead, five millenniums after, to the acronym MDE, and this via the word MODEL. Based on an extensive study of encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauri, and etymological sources, it is shown that the many senses of the word MODEL can be clustered into four groups, namely model-as-representation, model-as-example, model-as-type, and model-as-mold. All these groups are fundamental to understand the real nature of Model Driven Engineering. Megamodels and Etymology are indeed keys to avoid the Meta-muddle.on.

Foundations of Meta-Pyramids: Languages vs. Metamodels – Episode II: Story of Thotus the Baboon

Authors: Jean-Marie Favre

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4101, Language Engineering for Model-Driven Software Development (2005)

Abstract
Despite the recent interest for Model Driven Engineering approaches, the so-called four-layers metamodelling architecture is subject to a lot of debate. The relationship that exists between a model and a metamodel is often called instanceOf, but this terminology, which comes directly from the object oriented technology, is not appropriate for the modelling of similar meta-pyramids in other domains. The goal of this paper is to study which are the foundations of the meta-pyramids independently from a particular technology. This paper is actually the second episode of the series "From Ancient Egypt to Model Driven Engineering". In the pilot episode, the notion of megamodel was introduced to model essential Model Driven Engineering concepts. The notion of models was thoroughly discussed and only one association, namely RepresentationOf was introduced. In this paper the megamodel is extended with one fundamental relation in order to model the notion of languages and of metamodels. It is shown how Thotus the Baboon helped Nivizeb the priest in designing strong foundations for meta-pyramids. The secrets of some ancient pyramids are revealed.

Foundations of Model (Driven) (Reverse) Engineering : Models – Episode I: Stories of The Fidus Papyrus and of The Solarus

Authors: Jean-Marie Favre

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4101, Language Engineering for Model-Driven Software Development (2005)

Abstract
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) received a lot of attention in the last years, both from academia and industry. However, there is still a debate on which basic concepts form the foundation of MDE. The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) from the OMG does not provided clear answers to this question. This standard instead provides a complex set of interdependent technologies. This paper is the first of a series aiming at defining the foundations of MDE independently from a particular technology. A megamodel is introduced in this paper and incrementally refined in further papers from the series. This paper is devoted to a single concept, the concept of model, and to a single relation, the RepresentationOf relation. The lack of strong foundations for the MDA 4-layers meta-pyramid leads to a common mockery: ``So, MDA is just about Egyptology?!''. This paper is the pilot of the series called ``From Ancient Egypt to Model Driven Engineering''. The various episodes of this series show that Egyptology is actually a good model to study MDE.
