European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2017)

ECOOP 2017 solicits high quality submissions describing original and unpublished results. The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each submission as well as its general relevance and accessibility to the ECOOP audience according the following criteria:

• Originality. Papers must present new ideas and place them appropriately within the context established by previous research in the field.

• Significance. The results in the paper must have the potential to add to the state of the art or practice in significant ways.

• Evidence. The paper must present evidence supporting its claims. Examples of evidence include formalizations and proofs, implemented systems, experimental results, statistical analyses, and case studies.

• Clarity. The paper must present its contributions and results clearly.

• For Reproduction Studies: Empirical Evaluation. Common in other sciences, reproduction means independently reconstructing an experiment in a different context (e.g., virtual machine, platform, class of applications) in order to validate or refute important results of earlier work. A good reproduction study will include thorough empirical evaluation. It will contain a detailed comparison with the previous results, seeking reasons for possible disagreements.
