OOPSLA (Object-oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications) is now part of SPLASH (Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity).
The SPLASH Steering Committee serves as the OOPSLA Steering Committee.
The scope of OOPSLA includes all aspects of programming languages and software engineering, broadly construed. Papers that address any aspect of software development are welcome, including requirements, modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, maintenance, reuse, replacement, and retirement of software systems. Papers may address these topics in a variety of ways, including new tools (such as languages, program analyses, and runtime systems), new techniques (such as methodologies, design processes, code organization approaches, and management techniques), and new evaluations (such as formalisms and proofs, corpora analyses, user studies, and surveys).
PACMPL Author Guidelines and Policies
Please see the Author Guidelines and Publication Policies of PACMPL that apply to all OOPSLA papers as they are published in the Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages (PACMPL). More information about PACMPL can be found here.
OOPSLA Policy on In-Person Presentations
OOPSLA papers are published in the PACMPL, which states in its procedures under governance that “authors of all accepted papers are encouraged (but not required) to present their work at the corresponding conference”. To maximise the in-person experience, we ask all the authors who choose to present their work at the conference to do so fully in person by attending the conference and registering for the full 3-day OOPSLA event. We are currently unable to support remote participation, and we suggest that the authors explore the optional “SIGPLAN Track” that is provided by some of the SIGPLAN conferences to allow the recent PACMPL published work to be presented in person for the first time.
Most Influential OOPSLA Paper Award
Each year a “Most Influential” OOPSLA paper is chosen and an presentation is made at OOPSLA. More details about this award and past winning papers can be found here. SIGPLAN also makes several other awards including an “Outstanding Dissertation Award.” Please consider making a nomination for one of these awards. More details about the SIGPLAN awards can be found here.
