Call for Workshop Proposals

(Deadline Passed)

In 2014, the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP), will be held in Uppsala, Sweden.

ECOOP 2014 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 2014 invites proposals for workshops lasting from half a day up to two days.

The workshops will be held Monday 28 July and Tuesday 29 July, 2014.

Proposals

A workshop proposal must include the following information:

1. Name of the workshop
2. Duration of the workshop (half-day, full day, 2 days)
3. Abstract: 150-200 words describing the workshop, suitable for the ECOOP web site
4. 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?
5. A description of how the workshop papers and results will be published or otherwise disseminated (see the "Dissemination of Workshop Results" section below)
6. References to previous editions of the workshop (if any), including name of host conference and number of participants to the workshop each year
7. A preliminary Call For Papers describing the workshop's focus, its main topics and its deadlines
8. A (draft) list of the workshop PC members
9. A list of the workshop organizers
10. For each organizer of the workshop:
    • name
    • affiliation
    • contact information
    • a brief biography (up to 200 words), focusing on the organizer's expertise in the field and experience (if applicable) as a workshop organizer
11. Primary contact: identify one organizer as the primary contact
12. Any special requirements that the workshop may have

If a previous edition of the workshop was hosted at a recent ECOOP, you can submit a streamlined proposal containing the following:

1. Name of the workshop
2. Duration of the workshop (half-day, full day, 2 days)
3. A link to the previous editions's web site
4. A preliminary list of the workshop's deadlines
5. A list of the workshop organizers
6. For each organizer of the workshop:
   • name
   • affiliation
   • contact information
7. Primary contact: identify one organizer as the primary contact
8. Any special requirements that the workshop may have

Workshop Schedule Constraints

Each workshop will have to pay attention to the following timing constraints:

1. The program must be made public before the early registration deadline of the conferences. We thus expect you to make it available around mid-May.
2. The workshop must be able to consider submissions of papers rejected by the main conference, and have these enter its reviewing process. Since the ECOOP acceptance notification is 7 March, we thus expect you to make your submission deadline around mid-April.
3. The workshop must send its Call For Papers at least one month before the submission deadline. We thus expect you to send your CFP around mid-March.

Proposal Submission and Review

Workshop proposals should be submitted by email to the ECOOP workshop chair at ecoop-2014-workshops@usi.ch. Proposals will be reviewed by the workshop chair as they arrive.

Proposals will be selected based on their relevance to the conference, aims, beneficiaries, and timely advances in their respective topics. In particular, proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

1. The potential to advance the state of research and practice
2. The organizers' commitment to stimulate discussion at the workshop
3. The organizers' commitment to arrange for sensible digital and permanent post-meeting proceedings
4. The organizers' experience and ability to lead a successful workshop
5. Timeliness and expected interest in the workshop topics
6. The balance and synergy between the proposed workshops
7. The continuity of previous years workshops

Notification for a given proposal will be sent two weeks after submission. Therefore, proposal acceptance will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Proposals submitted after February 2 will not be accepted.

The number of accepted proposals will be limited by the availability of the conference rooms.

Dissemination of Workshop Results

A proposal should clearly state how the results of the workshop--the papers and other outcomes--will be made available to participants and others, both before and after the workshop event. The ECOOP 2014 workshop organizers will provide guidance to the organizers of accepted workshops that wish to publish proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.
