SPLASH is now accepting submissions. We invite high quality submissions describing original and unpublished work. ** Demos ** The SPLASH Demonstrations track is an excellent vehicle for sharing your latest work with an experienced and technically savvy audience. Live demonstrations show the impact of software innovation. Demonstrations are not product sales pitches, but rather an opportunity to highlight, explain, and present interesting technical aspects of running applications in a dynamic and highly interactive setting. Presenters are encouraged to actively solicit feedback from the audience, which should lead to very interesting and entertaining demonstration sessions. Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-demos ** 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: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-ds ** OOPSLA Artifacts ** The Artifact Evaluation process is a service provided by the community to help authors of accepted papers provide more substantial supplements to their papers so future researchers can more effectively build on and compare with previous work. The Artifact Evaluation Committee has been formed to assess how well paper authors prepare artifacts in support of such future researchers. Roughly, authors of papers who wish to participate are invited to submit an artifact that supports the conclusions of the paper. Submissions Due: 9 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-artifacts ** 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. Posters can be independent presentations or associated with one of the other parts of SPLASH. Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-posters ** SPLASH-E ** The SPLASH-E track brings together researchers and educators to share educational results, ideas, and challenges centered in Software and Programming Languages. Submission formats vary, including papers, tool demos, lightning talks, challenge-topics for discussion, and suggested themes for "unconference" sessions. Help us create an engaging forum for educational issues related to SPLASH! Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-splash-e ** Student Research Competition ** The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition (ACM SRC) is an internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and SPLASH attendees. The competition has separate categories for undergraduate and graduate students and awards prizes to the top three students in each category. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition shares the Poster session’s goal to facilitate interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing both sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research. Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-src ** Student Volunteers ** The SPLASH Student Volunteer program provides an opportunity for students from around the world to associate with some of the leading personalities in industry and research in the following areas: programming languages, object-oriented technology and software development. Student volunteers contribute to the smooth running of the conference by performing tasks such as: assisting with registration, providing information about the conference to attendees, assisting session organizers and monitoring sessions. Submissions Due: 7 August, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-sv ** Tutorials ** The SPLASH 2015 Tutorials programme will consist of prestigious tutorials on current topics in software, systems, and languages research. The scope of Tutorials is the same as the conference itself: all aspects of software construction and delivery at the intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. Tutorials in particular focus on the nexus between research and practice, including work that takes inspiration from or builds connections to areas not commonly considered at SPLASH. Tutorials should introduce researchers to current research in an area, or show important new tools that can be used in research. Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-tutorials ** Wavefront ** The SPLASH Wavefront track is looking for presentations and technology talks of interest to the software community, particularly to software professionals working in companies large and small. Wavefront is a forum for presenting experience reports and tutorials about innovative tools, technologies, and software practices. Submissions Due: 30 June, 2015 http://2015.splashcon.org/track/splash2015-wavefront ** Workshops ** The SPLASH Workshops track 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.
