Being languages such a broad subject, SLATE is organized in three main tracks:
1. HCL Track: Processing Human-Computer Languages The HCL 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.
2. CCL Track: Processing Computer-Computer Languages The CCL track main goal is to provide a broad space for discussion about the XML mark-up language: examples of usage and associated technologies.
3. HHL Track: Processing Human-Human Languages The HHL track is dedicated to the discussion of research projects and ideas involving natural language processing and their industrial application.
A detailed topic list for each one of these tracks is presented below.

## SLATE PUBLICATION POLICY ##
Paper types:
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;
Lightning talks - no publication, presented in 3 to 5 minutes, research ideas or work that has just started.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and digital support. They will also integrate the OASIcs series: http://www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/oasics/. In addition, we are currently envisioning several publication follow-ups for SLATE’17 (more information will be posted later on the conference website).
Papers should be written using the OASIcs LaTeX template, using the English language. Please refer to our website (http://slate-conf.org/2017/submissions) for details about the document preparation.
