The non-profit Rexx Language Association (https://www.rexxla.org) organizes the yearly International
Rexx Symposiums. This year, it will be held in the heart of Europe, in Vienna, Austria, from May 5th
through Wednesday, May 7th, preceded by a tutorial on Sunday afternoon (May 4th).
The call for presentations/papers explicitly solicits presentations for using any of the Rexx family
of programming languages and Rexx on the mainframe. So, please consider submitting a proposal for
the symposium to benefit the community.
If you do not submit a proposal but are interested in the conference, do not hesitate to attend!
Vienna is one of the few imperial cities in Europe, like London, Madrid, Paris, or Rome. As such, it
is also interesting to visit all of its historical sites and experience its cultural wealth.
Vienna's public transportation system is impressive, and one can reach any corner of Vienna by
public transportation. A little Rexx tidbit: the mainframe Rexx compiler was created and tested in
the IBM lab in Vienna.

As in the past, one can expect very interesting presentations allowing new insights and new Rexx
developments.

The Rexx Language Association invites you to participate in the 2025 International Rexx Symposium.
This more than two-and-half-day technical conference will address topics related to the Rexx family
of programming languages: Classic Rexx, NetRexx, and Open Object Rexx. Your knowledge and experience
will be welcome, and may take the form of a presentation or a formal paper.
Each presentation proposal and its submitted text will be vetted by the symposium committee, with
code reviews by a technical editor for Rexx code submitted in a paper.
The International Rexx Symposium is the only technical conference dedicated to the Rexx family of
programming languages, drawing speakers and attendees from around the world.
The technical program will feature topics addressing Rexx solutions to business problems,
application development challenges, Rexx language enhancements and extensions, novel Rexx
programming ideas, and the design and implementation of Rexx interpreters and compilers.
The full range of Rexx platforms and environments will be represented, from the mainframe to the
desktop to the phone, and from legacy operating systems to Linux to Java.
Proposals for Symposium presentations and papers are hereby solicited!
Presentations and papers in the following topic areas are of particular interest: Novel, clever, or
interesting problem solutions using ooRexx or Classic Rexx Rexx interfaces to Open Source products
such as Java, OpenOffice, Linux, etc. Cross-platform integration/automation Mainframe, large-scale,
or mission-critical Rexx applications ANSI Standard-compliant extensions to Rexx interpreters
Deploying Rexx applications on unusual or diverse platforms Multi- and cross-platform applications
Rapid prototyping in Rexx Designing Rexx applications for performance and portability Procedural and
O-O Rexx interpreters, compilers, and libraries Using Rexx with other technologies such as telephony
and wireless Re-hosting legacy Rexx applications Products that use Rexx as a scripting or macro
language Status of current Rexx language processor implementations Attendees will range from those
who are relatively new to Rexx to authors of Rexx language processors and texts. Presentations are
requested at all audience levels.
Session proposals should include the following: - presenter's name and email address - session title
(fewer than 10 words) - session abstract (fewer than 100 words) - presentation type (introductory,
tutorial, practitioner, advanced) - author/presenter's biographical note (fewer than 100 words) -
special scheduling/duration or audio/visual/connectivity requirements
Sessions are one hour long, but alternative durations can be accommodated on request. Speakers
should allow ample time for questions and demonstrations.
Presentation and formal paper proposals must be submitted by email to
presid...@rexxla.org
In order to be included in The Proceedings of the Rexx Symposium for Developers and Users(ISSN
1534-8954), a publication-ready version of the presentation or paper (preferably in PDF) must be
received by February 28, 2025.
The 2025 Rexx Symposium is sponsored by the Rexx Language Association, a non-profit member
organization incorporated in North Carolina, with the generous support of many loyal volunteers and
benefactors.
