CONTEXT
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.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
* 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.
More details:
– Both full and short papers should be written in English, using the OASIcs template. Please refer to our website (http://slate-conf.org/2022/submissions) for details about the document preparation.
– Submissions will be managed through the EasyChair online system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=slate2022.
– All accepted papers will be published as post-proceedings through OASIcs — OpenAccess Series in Informatics (http://www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/oasics/) in open access mode, under an ISBN reference and a DOI, and will thus be indexed by services such as Scopus and DBLP.
– In addition, the authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to appropriate journals (more information will be posted later on the conference website).
