Onward! 2018 | Call for Papers

by Robert Hirschfeld

=========================================================== Call for Papers =========================================================== Onward! 2018 Co-located with SPLASH 2018 November 4 - 9, 2018, Boston, USA https://2018.onward-conference.org 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. Onward! has two tracks that accept submissions: Papers and Essays. ### Call for Onward! Essays Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about topics important to the software community. An essay can be long or short. Anessay can be an exploration of the topic and its impact, or a story about 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 aphilosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal journey, perhaps the one the author took to reach an understanding of the topic. The subject area—software, programming, and programming languages —should be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or anthropological underpinnings. Instructions for authors and further information at: https://2018.onward-conference.org/track/onward-2018-Onward-Essays ### Call for Onward! Papers Onward! Papers is looking for grand visions and new paradigms that could make a big difference in how we will one day build software. But it is not looking for research-as-usual papers—conferences like OOPSLA are the place for that. Those conferences require rigorous validation such as theorems or empirical experiments, which are necessary for scientific progress, but which typically preclude discussion of early-stage ideas. Onward! papers must also supply some degree of validation because mere speculation is not a good basis for progress. However, Onward! accepts less rigorous methods of validation such as compelling arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial examples. The use of worked-out examples to support new ideas is strongly encouraged. Instructions for authors and further information at: https://2018.onward-conference.org/track/onward-2018-papers ### Important Dates for both Essays and Papers Submission deadline: 23 April 2018 Primary notification: 11 June 2018 Revisions deadline: 15 July 2018 Final notification: 30 July 2018 ### Program Chairs Richard P. Gabriel, Dream Songs, Inc. & HPI, USA (Essays Chair) Elisa Gonzalez Boix, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium (Papers Chair) ### Onward! 2018 Essays Program Committee Craig Anslow, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Elisa Baniassad, University of British Columbia, Canada Siobhán Clarke, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Charlotte Herzeel, imec, Belgium Graham Hutton, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom Jenny Quillien, Embodied Making Institute, United States Annette Vee, University of Pittsburgh, United States ### Onward! 2018 Papers Program Committee Craig Anslow, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Daan Leijen, Microsoft Research, USA Dave Thomas, Kx Systems, Canada Friederich Steimann, Fernuniversität, Germany Gail Murphy, University of British Columbia, Canada Guido Salvaneschi, TU Darmstadt, Germany Heather Miller, Northeastern University, USA Jonathan Edwards, MIT, USA Nada Amin, University of Cambridge, UK Peng Wu, Huawei America Research Lab, USA Philipp Haller, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Ralf Lammel, University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany Robert Hirschfeld, HPI, Germany Roberto Ierusalimschy, PUC-Rio, Brazil Sean McDirmid, Independent Shigeru Chiba, University of Tokyo, Japan Stefan Marr, University of Kent, UK Stephane Ducasse, INRIA, France Vincent St-Amour, Northeastern University, USA Wolfgang De Meuter, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium ========================================================== -- Robert Hirschfeld hirschfeld(a)acm.org www.hirschfeld.org
