Call for Papers, Essays, Films, and Workshops -=-=-=-=-= Onward! 2011 ACM Conference on New Ideas in Programming and Reflections on Software October 22-27, 2011 Hilton Portland & Executive Tower, Portland, Oregon USA Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN http://onward-conference.org/2011/ http://onward-conference.org/2011/poster.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open than other conferences to not (yet) so well-proven but well-argued ideas. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting on programming language and software engineering research. Onward! fosters the multidisciplinarity of software development. We are interested in anything to do with programming and software. Processes, methods, languages, art, philosophy, biology, economics, communities, politics, ethics, and of course applications. Anything! Sounds good? Do you want to report on and present your new ideas to the community and get feedback? Do you have a video to show or a story to tell, an essay perhaps? Do you want to bring reflections and new insights to the community? Or do you simply want to know more about innovations, visions, and the future of programming languages and software engineering? Then... Join Onward!, the unique, creative, and collaborative environment to discuss and investigate challenging problems related to software, its creation, and nurturing. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Call for Research Papers: * http://onward-conference.org/2011/papers-call.html * Research papers submission: April 8, 2011 * Research papers notification: June 13, 2011 * Camera-ready copy of research papers due: July 25, 2011 Call for Essays: * http://onward-conference.org/2011/essays-call.html * Essays submission: April 18, 2011 * Essays notification: June 13, 2011 * Camera-ready copy of essays due: July 15, 2011 Call for Films: * http://onward-conference.org/2011/films-call.html * Films submission: May 10, 2011 * Films notification: July 1, 2011 * Final Films due: August 1, 2011 Call for Workshops: * http://onward-conference.org/2011/workshops-call.html * Workshop proposal submission: April 8, 2011 * Workshop proposal notification: May 8, 2011 * Camera-ready copy of workshop abstracts due: June 8, 2011 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Organization * General Chair: Robert Hirschfeld, Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany * Steering Committee Chair and General Co-Chair: Richard P.
