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). Submissions due: Fri 5 Apr, 2019 https://2019.splashcon.org/track/splash-2019-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: Mon 22 April, 2019 https://2019.onward-conference.org/track/onward-2019-papers (transitioning to https://2019.splashcon.org/track/splash-2019-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 long or short. An essay 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 a philosophical 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. Submissions due: Mon 22 April, 2019 https://2019.onward-conference.org/track/onward-2019-Onward-Essays (transitioning to https://2019.splashcon.org/track/splash-2019-Onward-Essays) ## SPLASH-I SPLASH-I is a series of high-quality talks that highlight the challenges that are on the forefront of both research and practice across the SPLASH community's broad spectrum of domains and techniques. We invite the community to propose speakers (including themselves) through our call for contributions.
