The 19th European Conference on Object Oriented Programming http://2005.ecoop.org/ Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow, Scotland, 25-29 July 2005 Call for Papers ==== === ====== This call is available in PDF, web page and text versions. (http://2005.ecoop.org) ECOOP 2005 invites the submission of technical papers presenting research results or experience in all areas related to object technology and multi-paradigm work that incorporates object technology. Research papers should describe work that advances the current state of the art. Experience reports should be of broad interest and should describe insights gained from the practical application of object technology that are of use to other researchers and practitioners. The program committee will evaluate each contributed research and experience paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity, originality, and correctness. ECOOP is keen to broaden its coverage, so the following list of suggested topics is by no means exclusive. - Analysis and design methods - Concurrent, real-time and parallel systems - Database and object persistence - Design patterns - Distributed and mobile systems - Frameworks and software architectures - Language design and implementation - Object testing and metrics - Programming environments - Reflection, aspects and adaptability - Theoretical foundations, formal methods - Versioning, compatibility, software evolution The conference particularly welcomes contributions based on new ideas or new areas for the application of OO technology, and also and multi-paradigm work involving elements of OO technology. Submission Guidelines ---------- ---------- Technical papers must be electronically submitted through the ecoop 2005 online submission system (http://cyberchair.acm.org/ecooppapers/submit/). Other submissions will not be accepted. For information about formatting your paper please consult the Springer LNCS web site Authors' Instructions. Papers must be written in English, and be not longer than 10,000 words or 25 pages in Springer LNCS format. Referees will be instructed to ignore any material exceeding that limit. Papers arriving late or clearly longer than the limit will be rejected immediately by the programme chair. Please notice that ECOOP, along with other scientific conferences, accepts only original papers that have not been published and are not under review for publication elsewhere. Papers violating this rule will be rejected without review, and the other forum will be informed of the situation.
