===========================


ECOOP is a conference about programming originally focused on object 
orientation, but now including all practical and theoretical 
investigations of programming languages, systems and environments. ECOOP 
solicits innovative solutions to real problems as well as evaluations of 
existing solutions.

Authors are asked to pick one of the following categories:

- **Research.** The most traditional category for papers that advance 
the state of the art.

- **Replication.** An empirical evaluation that reconstructs a published 
experiment in a different context in order to validate the results of 
that earlier work.

- **Experience.** Applications of known PL techniques in practice as 
well as tools. Industry papers will be reviewed by practitioners. We 
welcome negative results that may provide inspiration for future research.

- **Pearls/Brave New Ideas.** Articles that either explain a known idea 
in an elegant way or unconventional papers introducing ideas that may 
take some time to substantiate. These papers may be short.


======= Submissions =======

Submission must not have been published, or have major overlap with 
previous work. In case of doubt, contact the chairs. Proceedings are 
published in open access by Dagstuhl LIPIcs in the Dagstuhl LIPIcs 
LaTeX-style template. To reduce friction when resubmitting, ACM's PACMPL 
and TOPLAS formatted papers can be submitted as such (with the 
understanding that if accepted, they will be reformatted).

ECOOP uses double-anonymous reviewing. Authors' identities are only 
revealed if a paper is accepted. Papers must omit author names and 
institutions, and use the third person when referencing the authors' own 
work. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the 
submission; see the FAQ. If in doubt, contact the chairs.

There is no page limit on submissions, but authors must understand that 
reviewers have a fixed time budget for each paper, so the length of the 
feedback is likely to be unaffected by length. Brevity is a virtue. 
Authors also have to consider that the camera-ready version must be at 
most 25 pages in LIPIcs format (not including references).

Authors will be given a three-day period to read and respond to the 
reviews of their papers before the program committee meeting. Responses 
have no length limit.


==== Artifact Evaluation and Intent ====

To support replication of experiments, authors of research papers may 
submit artifacts to the Artifact Evaluation Committee. They will be 
asked whether they intend to submit an artifact at submission time. It 
is understood that some papers do not have artifacts. AEC members will 
serve on the extended review committee.


============ Important Dates ============

ECOOP will continue to have two deadlines for submissions. Papers 
submitted in each round can be (a) accepted, (b) rejected, or (c) asked 
for revisions. Rejected papers that are submitted to the immediate next 
round can be desk-rejected if they do not sufficiently differ from the 
previous submission. Revisions can be submitted at any later round. 
Papers retain their reviewers during revision.

   - Submission R2: April 17, 2024
   - Artifacts R2: April 23, 2024
   - Response R2: June 5, 2024
   - Notification R2: June 19, 2024


==== Journal First and Journal After ====

We have Journal First/After arrangements with ACM's Transactions on 
Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS), Elsevier's Science of 
Computer Programming (SCP) and AITO's Journal of Object Technology (JOT).

Only new research papers are eligible to be Journal First (JF). JF 
papers will have an extended abstract in the ECOOP proceedings. The 
deadline is the same as Round 1 of submissions and the notification is 
aligned with Round 2 notification. TOPLAS JF papers should be submitted 
according to this announcement. SCP JF papers should follow this call 
for papers. JF papers are presented at the conference and eligible for 
awards.

Journal After (JA) papers are papers for which the authors request to be 
considered for post conference journal publication. Once accepted by the 
ECOOP PC, these papers will be forwarded to the journal editors. Reviews 
and reviewers will be forwarded and used at the editor's discretion. JA 
papers will have an extended abstract (up to 12 pages) in the conference 
proceedings.
