Topics & Goals
LangDev is celebrated on an yearly basis around Europe. It brings together the community working & researching around Language Engineering, MDE, DSLs with a clear focus on showing progress on the state of the art with working tooling. Talks with running software demonstrations are encouraged over just theoretical papers.
Model Driven Engineering is gaining traction as one of the Key competences to be developed to foster progress (as recognized by the European Union in different programs).
For any other inquiry please write directly to langdev2025@f1re.io.

Call for Presentations
From: June 6th till July 12th (closed).
We solicit talk proposals concerning the application, development, and innovation of language engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- New language workbenches or novel extensions of existing language workbenches.
- Backend infrastructure of (web-based) language workbenches explaining solutions to collaboration, synchronization, or communication.
- Low-Code / No-Code approaches using appropriate languages
- Industrial case studies: experience reports, large-scale evaluations, best practices, and human factors to adoption.
- Novel meta languages for language construction and composition
- Holistic approaches to language engineering that cross-cut multiple language aspects (e.g., abstract and concrete syntax, semantics, transformations) and/or integrate with program analysis, validation, testing, or other advanced techniques.
- Case-studies concerning specific DSLs and their application - Languages for non-engineering domains, such as science, legal, social, or environmental sustainability issues
- Engineering new interaction models for languages (block-based, notebooks, live programming, etc.)
- Tools for debugging DSL implementation, and creating DSL debuggers.
- Applications of AI to Language Workbenches and/or language engineering.
LangDev seeks presentations that demonstrate applied aspects of language engineering. Presentations explaining the theory behind language engineering are also welcome, but they need to showcase the practical applicability of the presented approaches. Presentations about preliminary or unfinished work are welcome. This year we distinguish three kinds of presentations:
- Regular: 30 minutes presentation
- Lightning: 10 minutes
- Tech demo: 10 minutes
We encourage presenters to demonstrate their work with a demo or live coding over “just” showing slides. Additionally, we encourage speakers to accompany their presentations with a public repository (whenever is possible) with the code that helps the participants to (easily) run the presented tools, experiment with them, or tweak benchmark experiments. This helps to create a lasting contribution.
