Scope
ESOP is an annual conference devoted to fundamental issues in the
specification, design, analysis, and implementation of programming
languages and systems. ESOP seeks contributions on all aspects of
programming language research including, but not limited to, the
following areas: programming paradigms and styles, methods and tools
to specify and reason about programs and languages, programming
language foundations, methods and tools for implementation,
concurrency and distribution, applications and emerging topics.

Contributions bridging the gap between theory and practice are
particularly welcome.

Submission Categories

Research Papers are articles that advance the state-of-the-art on the
theory and practice of programming languages and systems.

For the sake of flexibility, submitted research papers may be
formatted in Springer’s LNCS, ACM's PACMPL, or ACM's TOPLAS format.
There is no page limit for submissions, but authors should be aware
that reviewers are likely to balance the review time for all papers
and that camera-ready papers may not exceed 25 pages (excluding
bibliography) and must be formatted in Springer’s LNCS.

Experience Reports are articles reporting on systems and techniques
developed in practice, such as artifacts, tools, mechanized proofs,
and educational systems, both in academic and industrial settings.
These articles must include a critical evaluation of the experience
reported.

Submitted and camera-ready experience report papers must be formatted
in Springer’s LNCS, not exceeding 15 pages (excluding bibliography).

Fresh Perspectives are articles that promote new insights on
programming languages and systems in a particularly elegant way. These
papers may offer new tutorial perspectives of known concepts or they
may introduce fresh new insights and ideas that could lead to relevant
future developments.

Submitted and camera-ready fresh perspective papers must be formatted
in Springer’s LNCS, not exceeding 15 pages (excluding bibliography).

Springer's formatting style files and other information can be found
on the Springer website:

Review Process
The review process is double-blind with a rebuttal phase. In submitted
papers, authors should omit names and institutions; refer to prior
work in the third person; and should not include acknowledgements that
might reveal their identity.
During the evaluation period authors are free to speak publicly about
their work and distribute preprints of their submitted papers.
However, authors should avoid actions that would reveal their
identities, such as directly contacting PC members.

Accepted papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series.


Artifact Evaluation
ESOP 2024 will have a post-paper-acceptance voluntary artifact
evaluation. Authors will be encouraged to submit artifacts for
evaluation after paper notification. The outcome will not alter the
paper acceptance decision. Note: Artifacts may be submitted with an
accompanying short 5 page experience report (including 1 page
bibliography), that will appear in the conference proceedings.

Journal-After Submissions

Revised and expanded versions of accepted ESOP research papers are
eligible for the ESOP Journal-After TOPLAS channel. A call will open
in January at a predefined date after the ESOP notification, and to
which all accepted papers may apply. A first light review round will
be performed by the ESOP PC, to reach Reject or Revise decisions.
Papers with Revise decisions will proceed to a second thorough review
round, in which additional reviews will be coordinated with TOPLAS,
towards a final Reject or Accept decision.
