Call for papers and other contributions: SPLASH 2012

*CALL FOR PAPERS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS: SPLASH 2012

The Systems, Programming, Languages, Applications: Software for Humanity
(SPLASH) conference is a key venue at the intersection of programming,
programming languages, and software engineering. SPLASH (and its
predecessor OOPSLA) have a long history of fostering innovation in areas
such as programming methods, design and analysis, testing, concurrency,
program analysis, empirical studies, and new programming languages. SPLASH
embraces all aspects of software construction and delivery, and joins all
factions of programming technologies. Since 2010 SPLASH has been the
umbrella for OOPSLA, Onward!, and the Dynamic Languages Symposium. This
year it also continues a fourth technical track, Wavefront, designed to
publish innovative work closely related to advanced development and
production software.

See http://splashcon.org for details regarding all of the following calls.
DUE APRIL 13, 2012
OOPSLA Research Papers

OOPSLA includes all aspects of programming languages and software
engineering, broadly construed. Papers may address any aspect of software
development, including requirements, modeling, prototyping, design,
implementation, generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation,
maintenance, reuse, replacement, and retirement of software systems. Papers
on tools (such as new languages, program analyses, or run-time systems) or
on techniques (such as new methodologies, design processes, code
organization approaches, and management techniques) designed to reduce the
time, effort, and/or cost of creating software systems or improving their
performance, quality and/or usability are of particular interest.

Onward! Papers

Do you have an idea that could change the world of software development?
Onward! is the place to present it and get constructive criticism from
other researchers and practitioners. We are looking for grand visions and
new paradigms that could make a big difference in how we build software in
5 or 10 years. We  also encourage practicing programmers to share their
hard-won wisdom about how to reform software development.

Onward! Essays

The Onward! Essay track is your chance to explore a line of argument or
reasoning in writing, and to share that thought process and its conclusions
with your peers.

Wavefront

Wavefront papers describe original and innovative architecture, design,
and/or implementation techniques used in leading-edge software systems.
Papers from practicing software developers are strongly encouraged.
Research or advanced development papers must address a problem of immediate
concern for such systems and present immediately applicable results.

Wavefront Experience

Wavefront Experience Reports are all about how we create practical software
systems that solve real-world problems. Wavefront experience reports are
meant to be strongly aligned with the focus of the Wavefront program, but
in the experience papers, we are looking for discussions about the use of
those technologies as opposed to their creation. How have they made you
more (or less) successful? What do you do differently now? This is your
chance to convince your peers that you have found a better way.

Workshops

Workshops are all about networking, sharing, exchanging, discussing, and
maturing new exciting ideas, to enable you to start new collaborations and
incubate new communities - whether you are seeking research partners,
projects, potential funders, or practitioners to new and emergent ideas!
SPLASH workshops are a great way to grow your knowledge and expand your
professional network. As highly interactive events, SPLASH workshops
provide a creative and collaborative environment where attendees coming
from various organizations around the world meet to discuss and solve
challenging problems related to emerging technologies and research areas.

Panels

Panel sessions can be presented within: OOPSLA, Wavefront, or Onward! Many
topics are possible, including aspects of software development, language
design issues, language implementation issues, and tools.

DUE JULY 9, 2012

Posters

Posters provide an excellent forum for authors to present their work in an
informal and interactive setting. Posters are ideal to showcase
speculative, late-breaking results or to introduce interesting, innovative
work. Posters sessions are highly interactive. They allow authors and
interested participants to connect to each other and to engage in
discussions about the presented work.

ACM Student Research Competition

This competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an
internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate
students to experience the research world, share their research results
with others, and compete for prizes. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research
Competition shares the Poster session's goal to facilitate students'
interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing both
sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research.
Additionally, the Student Research Competition affords students with
experience with both formal presentations and evaluations.

Doctoral Symposium

The Doctoral Symposium provides students with useful guidance for
completing their dissertation research and beginning their research careers.

DUE JULY 11, 2012

Dynamic Languages Symposium

The Dynamic Languages Symposium is a forum for discussion of dynamic
languages, their implementation and application. We invite high-quality
papers reporting original research, innovative contributions or experience
related to dynamic languages, their implementation and application.


DUE JULY 15, 2012

Demonstrations

Live demonstrations show the impact of software innovation. The
demonstrations track is an excellent vehicle for sharing your latest work
with an experienced and technically-savvy audience. Demonstrations are not
product sales pitches, but rather an opportunity to highlight, explain, and
present interesting technical aspects of running applications in a dynamic
and highly interactive setting. Presenters are encouraged to actively
solicit feedback from the audience, which should lead to very interesting
and entertaining demonstration sessions.*
