OOPSLA Research Papers
OOPSLA 2010 solicits research papers that present new research, report novel technical results, advance the state of the art, or discuss experience or experimentation. The scope of OOPSLA includes all aspects of programming languages and software engineering, broadly construed.
Papers may address any aspect of software development, including requirements, modeling, prototyping, design, implementation, generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, project cancellation, maintenance, reuse, regeneration, replacement, and retirement of software systems. Papers on tools (such as new programming languages, dynamic or static program analyses, compilers, and garbage collectors) or techniques (such as new programming methodologies, type systems, design processes, code organization approaches, and management techniques) designed to reduce the time, effort, and/or cost of software systems are particularly welcome.

2010 ACM International Conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity.
Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN in cooperation with ACM SIGSOFT.
Selection Process
OOPSLA particularly encourages the submission of papers that diverge from the dominant trajectory of the field or challenge the existing value system. Such papers are often controversial. To enhance the ability of the program committee to accept such papers, each member of the committee will have the unilateral right to accept one paper into the conference regardless of the opinions of the other committee members. This policy is designed to favor papers that elicit strong opinions (both positive and negative) over relatively predictable papers that simply reinforce the existing status quo.
The program committee may consider the following criteria when evaluating submitted papers:
Novelty - The paper presents new ideas and/or results and places these ideas and results appropriately within the context established by previous research in the field.
Interest - The results in the paper are interesting, intriguing, or provocative. The paper challenges or changes informed opinion about what is possible, true, or likely.
Evidence - The paper presents evidence supporting its claims. Examples of evidence include formalizations and proofs, implemented systems, experimental results, statistical analyses, case studies, and anecdotes.
Clarity - The paper presents its claims and results clearly.
Submission
SIGPLAN Proceedings Format, 10 point font. Note that by default the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format produces papers in 9 point font. If you are formatting your paper using Latex, you will need to set the 10pt option in the \documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word, you may wish to use the provided Word template that provides support for this font size.
There is no page limit on submitted papers. It is, however, the responsibility of the authors to keep the reviewers interested and motivated to read the paper. Reviewers are under no obligation to read all or even a substantial portion of a paper if they do not find the initial part of the paper interesting. The committee will not accept a paper if it is not clear to the committee that the paper will fit in the OOPSLA 2010 proceedings, which will limit accepted papers to 20 pages.
OOPSLA 2010 will not accept submissions from Program Committee members.
OOPSLA 2010 submissions must conform to both the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions and the SIGPLAN Republication Policy.
