ECOOP 2012 CALL FOR PAPERS

http://ecoop12.cs.purdue.edu/

The European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP) is
the premium international conference covering all areas of object
technology and related software development technologies. ECOOP 2012
will take place from 11-16 June, 2012 in Beijing, China ¡ª only the
second time ECOOP has been held outside Europe. ECOOP 2012 embraces
a broad range of topics related to object-orientation, including:

- Analysis and design methods and patterns
- Databases, persistence, transactions
- Concurrent, parallel, distributed, mobile, and real-time systems
- Empirical and application studies
- Frameworks, product lines, software architectures
- Language design and implementation
- Modularity, aspects, features, components, services, reflection
- Software development environments and tools
- Static and dynamic software analysis, testing, and metrics
- Theoretical foundations, type systems, formal methods
- Versioning, compatibility, software evolution

ECOOP 2012 solicits high quality submissions describing original and
unpublished results. Papers will be evaluated according to originality
and significance, precision and correctness, presentation and clarity,
and relevance. Incremental improvements over previously published
work should have been evaluated through systematic, comparative,
empirical or experimental evaluation. Submissions of papers describing
groundbreaking approaches to emerging problems will be considered
based on timeliness and potential impact.

Only papers that have not been published and are not under review
for publication elsewhere may be submitted. Double submissions will
be rejected without review. Authors are required to disclose prior
publication (formal or informal) of parts of the paper submitted
to ECOOP or of closely related papers. Such prior publications
must be cited and their relationship to the current submission
explained. Authors are also required to inform the ECOOP 2012 program
chair about closely related work submitted to another conference
while the ECOOP submission is under review.

Submissions will be carried out electronically via CyberChair. Papers
must be written in English, and be no longer than 25 pages, including
references, appendices and figures, and written using the LNCS
style. For more information about formatting please consult the
Springer LNCS web site at http://www.springer.com. Clearly marked
additional appendices, not intended for the final publication,
containing supporting proofs, analyses, statistics, etc, may be
included beyond the 25 page limit. The paper must stand alone,
however, and reviewers are under no obligation to read any additional
appendices. Reviewers are more likely to consult additional appendices
rather than separate technical reports. ECOOP papers will be reviewed
by the programme committee and additional expert reviewers: authors
will have the opportunity to respond to reviews before the programme
committee meeting.

For ECOOP 2012, submissions that have been submitted but not accepted
by previous prestigious conferences (such as ECOOP, OOPSLA, POPL,
PLDI, ICSE, or AOSD) may additionally submit a Note to Reviewers. The
Note to Reviewers should a) identify the previous venue(s) (e.g.,
ECOOP'2011, OOPSLA'2010); b) list the major issues identified by
the reviews at those venues; and c) describe the changes made to the
paper in response to those reviews.

Important dates

Submission deadline:		17 December 2011, 23:59 (Samoa)
Author rebuttals:		13-14 February 2012
Acceptance notification:	29 February 2012

Call for Workshops -
26th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP'2012)

ECOOP 2012 Call for Workshops

http://ecoop12.cs.purdue.edu/

ECOOP 2012 will host an exciting array of workshops that address a
variety of topics in object-oriented technology. A workshop is a forum
for exchanging ideas and theories that are still in an evolutionary
stage. Typically, a workshop will either address a focused topic in
depth or explore connections between object-oriented technologies and
other areas of interest. ECOOP 2012 invites proposals for workshops
lasting one or two days.

ECOOP 2012 workshops will be held 11-13 June, 2012.

Proposals

A workshop proposal should include the following information:

- Name of the workshop
- Duration of the workshop (half-day, full-day, multi-day)
- An abstract: 150-200 words describing the workshop, suitable for the ECOOP
  Web site
- A preliminary Call For Workshop Papers describing the workshop's focus and
  its main topics
- A summary of the workshop format: e.g., refereed papers, and/or short
  papers, and/or invited talks, and/or problem solving, and/or brainstorming
  sessions. How will papers or other submissions be reviewed?
- A description of how the workshop papers and results will be published or
  otherwise disseminated (see the "Dissemination of Workshop Results" section
  below)
- References to previous editions of the workshop (if any) including
  information about the number of participants
- About each organizer:
  + Name, affiliation, and contact information
  + Primary contact: identify one organizer as the primary contact
  + A brief biography (up to 200 words), focusing on the organizer's expertise
    in the field and experience as a workshop organizer
  + Any special requirements that the workshop may have

Proposal Submission and Review

Workshop proposals should be submitted by email to the ECOOP
2012 workshop organizers, Adam Welc and Patrick Eugster, at
ecoop12-workshops@cs.purdue.edu.

Proposals will be reviewed by the ECOOP 2012 workshop organizers
as they arrive.  Notification for a given proposal will be sent
two weeks after its submission.  Therefore, proposal acceptance
will be on a first-come, first-served basis.  The number of accepted
proposals will be limited by the availability of the conference rooms.
Each proposal will be evaluated according to the value and relevance
of its workshop topic, the expertise and experience of the workshop
organizers, and the potential of the proposed workshop to attract
participants and generate useful results.

Dissemination of Workshop Results

A proposal should clearly state how the results of the workshop,
that is the papers and other outcomes, will be made available to
participants and others, both before and after the workshop event. The
ECOOP 2012 workshop organizers will provide guidance to the organizers
of accepted workshops that wish to publish proceedings in the ACM
Digital Library.

Contact

For additional information about this Call for Workshops, please
contact the ECOOP 2012 workshop organizers, Adam Welc and Patrick
Eugster, atecoop12-workshops@cs.purdue.edu.

Subject: [ecoop-info] Deadline in one week: Nominations for the AITO
	Dahl-Nygaard Prize

[Apologies for multiple copies]

                  *** DAHL-NYGAARD PRIZE ***

The AITO Dahl-Nygaard Committee hereby requests nominations for
the Dahl-Nygaard Prize which is awarded annually to individuals
that have made significant technical contributions to the field of
Object-Orientation.  The prize is named after Ole-Johan Dahl and
Kristen Nygaard whose pioneering conceptual and technical work in
the sixties shaped that view of programming and modeling which is
now known as object-orientation.  The prize will be presented at the
ECOOP conference in 2012.

The prize consists of two awards given to a junior researcher (at most
7 years after obtaining the PhD degree) and a senior researcher.
The senior researcher should have made a significant long-term
contribution to the field in research or engineering.  The junior
researcher should have made a promising contribution to the field
through a paper, a thesis, or a prototype implementation.

          *** The deadline for nominations is September 30th, 2011 ***

Please send your nominations by email to dahl-nygaard@aito.org along
with a short motivation, using the subject 'Dahl-Nygaard junior
nomination' or 'Dahl-Nygaard senior nomination'.

PS: Did you supervise a brilliant PhD student a few years ago?
Then consider a DN junior prize nomination!
