Since 2010 SPLASH is the new umbrella conference for OOPSLA and
Onward!. This year, it features a third technical track, Wavefront,
designed to publish innovative work closely related to advanced
development and production software.

The overall theme of the conference is "The Internet as the world-wide
Virtual Machine."  This theme captures the change in the order of
magnitude of computing that happened over the past few years.
