Preliminary Call for Contributions
Technical papers
The ECOOP 2009 conference invites high quality papers presenting research or experience related to object technology. ECOOP has a wide spectrum interest in object-orientation, so the following list of suggested topics is by no means exclusive. The conference welcomes novel contributions to the field, and encourages authors from other communities whose ideas have an impact in object-orientation to submit and participate in the conference.
- Analysis, design methods and design patterns
- Concurrent, real-time or parallel systems
- Databases, persistence and transactions
- Distributed and mobile systems
- Frameworks, product lines and software architectures
- Language design and implementation
- Testing and metrics
- Programming environments and tools
- Theoretical foundations, type systems, formal methods
- Versioning, compatibility, software evolution
- Aspects, Components, Modularity, Adaptability
- Domain Specific Languages, Language Workbenches
- Dynamic, Multi-paradigm, Constraint, Rule Languages
- Collaboration, Workflow
Research papers should describe work that advances the current state of this art. Experience papers should be of broad interest and should describe insights gained from substantive practical applications.
The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity, and originality.
Technical papers must be electronically submitted through the ECOOP 2009 online submission system.
For information about formatting your paper please consult the Springer LNCS "Author Instructions". Papers must be written in English, and be not longer than 10,000 words or 25 pages in Springer LNCS format.
Please note that ECOOP, consistently with other scientific conferences, accepts only original papers that have not been published and are not under review for publication elsewhere.

Workshops
ECOOP 2009 will host a number of workshops related to object-oriented technology. Workshops serve as a forum for exchanging emerging research and practice ideas. They typically focus on in-depth or cross-domain areas related to object-oriented technology.
Workshops may last 1 or 2 days and will be held on Monday and Tuesday (6, 7 July).

Summer school
Following last year's successful experiment, ECOOP 2009 will offer a summer school, in parallel with the technical paper sessions of the conference. The purpose of a summer school session is to give a deeper or more covering insight into its area than a conventional lecture would do. Novel topics and topics of broad interest are preferred.
Summer school will be held on Wednesday and Thursday (8, 9 July).
