ECOOP 2015 - European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming ECOOP 2015

ECOOP 2015 will embrace a broad range of topics related to object-orientation, including:
Concurrent and parallel systems
Distributed and cloud computing, mobile systems
Service-oriented and web programming
Programming environments
Versioning, refactoring, software evolution
Language definition and design, domain-specific languages
Language implementation, execution environments, compiler construction
Memory management, garbage collection
Testing, debugging, profiling, performance analysis
Metrics, empirical studies
Design methods, design patterns
Aspects, components, modularity, reflection
Software modelling, meta-modelling
Frameworks, product lines, software architectures
Theoretical foundations, type systems, ownership
Program analysis, abstract interpretation
Specification, verification, model checking, program synthesis
Security
Real-time systems
Databases, object persistence
Energy-aware software
ECOOP 2015 solicits high quality submissions describing original and unpublished results. It encourages innovative and creative solutions to real problems, evaluations of existing solutions in ways that shed new insights, or both. Following recent precedent, it also encourages the submission of reproduction studies. The programme committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each submission as well as its general relevance and accessibility to the ECOOP audience according the following criteria:
Originality
The paper presents new ideas and/or results relevant to object technology and related software development technologies, and places these appropriately within the context established by previous research in the field. The paper clearly identifies what this contribution has accomplished and how it relates to previous work.
Significance
The results in the paper have the potential to add to the state of the art or practice in important or significant ways. The paper challenges or changes informed opinion about what is possible, true or likely.
Evidence
The paper presents evidence supporting its claims. Examples of evidence include formalizations and proofs, implemented systems, experimental results, statistical analyses and case studies.
Clarity
The paper presents its claims and results clearly. It is organized so that it is easily understood by an audience with varied expertise.
For reproduction studies: Empirical Evaluation
Common in other sciences, reproduction means independently reconstructing an experiment in a different context (e.g. virtual machine, platform, class of applications) in order to validate or refute important results of earlier work. A good reproduction study will include thorough empirical evaluation, meeting high statistical standards. It will contain a detailed comparison with the previous results, seeking reasons for possible disagreements.
As is tradition, ECOOP Proceedings are published in Springer LNCS.
Paper Submission
Only papers that have not been published and are not under review for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Double submissions will be rejected without review. If major parts of an ECOOP submission have appeared elsewhere in any form, authors are required to notify the ECOOP 2015 programme chair and to explain the overlap and relationship. Authors are also required to inform the programme chair about closely related work submitted to another conference while the ECOOP submission is under review.
