ACM SIGPLAN SPLASH 2017 October 22-27, 2017 Vancouver, Canada http://2017.splashcon.org
The ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) embraces all aspects of software construction, to make it the premier conference at the intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. We invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished work. Combined Call for Contributions: * SPLASH Workshops * OOPSLA * Onward! Papers * Onward! Essays * Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) * Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences (GPCE) * Software Language Engineering (SLE) * SPLASH-E * Posters * Doctoral Symposium * Student Research Competition ## SPLASH Workshops Following its long-standing tradition, SPLASH 2017 will host a variety of high-quality workshops, allowing their participants to meet and discuss research questions with peers, to mature new and exciting ideas, and to build up communities and start new collaborations. SPLASH workshops complement the main tracks of the conference and provide meetings in a smaller and more specialized setting. Workshops cultivate new ideas and concepts for the future, optionally recorded in formal proceedings. Late phase submissions due: Fri March 3, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-Workshops ## OOPSLA Papers may target any stage of software development, including requirements, modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, maintenance, and reuse of software systems. Contributions may include the development of new tools (such as language front-ends, program analyses, and runtime systems), new techniques (such as methodologies, design processes, and code organization approaches), new principles (such as formalisms, proofs, models, and paradigms), and new evaluations (such as experiments, corpora analyses, user studies, and surveys). Abstracts due: Thu April 13, 2017 Submissions due: Mon April 17, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-OOPSLA ## Onward! Papers Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages, communities, and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting on programming language and software engineering research. Submissions due: Fri April 21, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/onward-2017/onward-2017-Onward-Papers ## Onward! Essays Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community. An essay can be an exploration of a topic, its impact, or the circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is, explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps that by which the author reached an understanding of such a topic. The subject area should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings. Submissions due: Fri April 21, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/onward-2017/onward-2017-essays-2017 ## Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) From Lisp, Snobol, and Smalltalk to Python, Racket, and Javascript, Dynamic Languages have been playing a fundamental role both in programming research and practice. DLS is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners to share research and experience on all aspects on Dynamic Languages. DLS invites high quality papers reporting original research and experience related to the design, implementation, and applications of dynamic languages. Abstracts due: Fri May 26, 2017 Submissions due: Fri June 2, 2017 http://www.dynamic-languages-symposium.org/dls-17/index.html ## Generative Programming: Concepts & Experiences (GPCE) The International Conference on Generative Programming: Concepts & Experience (GPCE) is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques and tools for code generation, language implementation, and product-line development. GPCE seeks conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and technical contributions to its topics of interest, which include but are not limited to (i) program transformation, staging, macro systems, preprocessors, program synthesis, and code-recommendation systems, (ii) domain-specific languages, language embedding, language design, and language workbenches, (iii) feature-oriented programming, domain engineering, and feature interactions, (iv) applications and properties of code generation, language implementation, and product-line development. Abstracts due: Sun June 25, 2017 Submissions due: Sun July 2, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/gpce-2017/gpce-2017-GPCE-2017 ## Software Language Engineering (SLE) Software Language Engineering (SLE) is the application of systematic, disciplined, and measurable approaches to the development, use, deployment, and maintenance of software languages. The term “software language” is used broadly, and includes: general-purpose programming languages; domain-specific languages (e.g. BPMN, Simulink, Modelica); modeling and metamodeling languages (e.g. SysML and UML); data models and ontologies (e.g. XML-based and OWL-based languages and vocabularies). SLE solicits high-quality contributions in areas ranging from theoretical and conceptual contributions to tools, techniques, and frameworks in the domain of language engineering. Abstracts due: Fri June 2, 2017 Submissions due: Fri June 9, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/sle-2017/sle-2017-papers ## SPLASH-E SPLASH-E is a new (started in 2013) forum for software and languages (SE/PL) researchers with activities and interests around computing education. Some build pedagogically-oriented languages or tools; some think about pedagogic challenges around SE/PL courses; some bring computing to non-CS communities; some pursue human studies and educational research. At SPLASH-E, we share our educational ideas and challenges centered in software/languages, as well as our best ideas for advancing such work. Unlike general conferences on computing education, SPLASH-E strives to bring together researchers and those with educational interests that arise from software ideas or concerns. Submissions due: Thu June 29, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-SPLASH-E ## Posters The SPLASH Poster track provides an excellent forum for authors to present their recent or ongoing projects in an interactive setting, and receive feedback from the community. We invite submissions covering any aspect of programming, systems, languages and applications. The goal of the poster session is to encourage and facilitate small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to gather and interact. It is held early in the conference, to promote continued discussion among interested parties. Submissions due: Sat July 15, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-Posters ## Doctoral Symposium The SPLASH Doctoral Symposium provides students with useful guidance for completing their dissertation research and beginning their research careers. The symposium will provide an interactive forum for doctoral students who have progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal, but will not be defending their dissertation in the next 12 months. Submissions due: Fri June 30, 2017 http://2017.splashcon.org/track/splash-2017-Doctoral-Symposium ## Student Research Competition The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC), sponsored by Microsoft Research, offers a unique forum for ACM student members at the undergraduate and graduate levels to present their original research at SPLASH before a panel of judges and conference attendees. The SRC gives visibility to not only up-and-coming young researchers, but also exposes them to the field of computer science research and its community. This competition also gives students an opportunity to discuss their research with experts in their field, get feedback, and to help them sharpen their communication and networking skills.
