From: Giorgio Audrito <cl-isabelle-users@lists.cam.ac.uk>
ECOOP is Europe’s longest-standing annual Programming Languages conference,
bringing together researchers, practitioners, and students to share their
ideas and experiences in all topics related to programming languages,
software development, systems and applications. ECOOP welcomes high quality
research papers relating to these fields in a broad sense. ECOOP was
originally focused on object orientation, but now includes 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.
ECOOP is committed to affordable open access publishing. Recent year’s
publications have been published by Dagstuhl’s LIPIcs series under a
Creative Commons CC-BY license where the authors retain their copyright.
ECOOP articles have been published without open access publishing fee and
can be accessed via a DOI. LIPIcs is indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar,
Scopus and others.
In 2025, ECOOP will be hosted by the Software Engineering research group
<https://selabhvl.github.io/> at the Høgskulen på Vestlandet (Western
Norway University of Applied Sciences) <https://www.hvl.no/> in Bergen,
Norway, between June 30th and July 4th. More information can be found on
the conference website: https://2025.ecoop.org

Submissions
Submissions will be done through HotCRP <https://ecoop25.hotcrp.com> but
are not yet open at the time of this writing. Authors are asked to pick one
of the following paper 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.
Submission must not have been published, or have major overlap with
previous work. In case of doubt, contact the PC chairs (listed below).
Proceedings will be published in open access by Dagstuhl LIPIcs in the
Dagstuhl LIPIcs LaTeX-style template (
https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/LIPIcs#author). 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 need
to be reformatted and reduced to the page limit).
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 <https://2024.ecoop.org/track/ecoop-2024-papers#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.
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.
Review Criteria
Each paper will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
-
Soundness: How well the paper’s contributions are supported by rigorous
application of appropriate research methods;
-
Significance: The extent to which the paper’s contributions are novel,
original, and important, with respect to the existing body of knowledge;
-
Presentation: Whether the paper’s quality of writing meets the high
standards of ECOOP.
After author response and reviewer discussion, papers will be accepted if
the PC decides that the paper meets our high bar for Soundness and
Presentation, and if one reviewer judges the paper to meet the bar for
Significance. The goal of this process is to ensure quality of writing and
confidence in results, while assuming that if one reviewer finds the paper
to be significant then there will be readers who do so as well.
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.
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.
