These papers are limited to 4 pages.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">==============================</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">========================================</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"></div><div>*** <b>Blue Sky Ideas Track</b> ***</div><div><br></div><div>Following the lead of the Computing Research Association’s Computing Community Consortium, we invite submissions to the Blue Sky Ideas track. The emphasis of this track is on visionary ideas, long term challenges, and opportunities for research that are outside of the current mainstream topics in the Modularity conference.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions will be judged on the extent to which they expand the possibilities and horizons of the field or challenge existing assumptions prevalent in the field.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions are limited to at most four (4) pages. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings companion (and in the ACM digital library).</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">==============================</span><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">========================================</span><br></div><div>*** <b>Position Papers Track</b> ***</div><div><br></div><div>To encourage discussions about current work and problems of interest to the community, we invite submissions to the Position Papers track. The emphasis of this track is on clearly stated positions about either problems that should be solved or approaches to solving these problems.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions will be judged on originality and the creativity of the problems or approaches described, as well as how compelling the paper’s argument is.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions are limited to at most four (4) pages.

The emphasis of this track is on clear descriptions of industrial case studies. Of most interest are systems at very large scales that exhibit novel challenges. Papers should describe how the approach taken in building these systems was successful (or not), and what lessons were learned.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions will be judged on the interest and broader applicability of the ideas and lessons learned, and how clearly these are presented in the paper.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions are limited to at most four (4) pages. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings companion (and in the ACM digital library), unless authors request otherwise. If no paper is desired, it is possible to submit a PowerPoint or other slide presentation with detailed notes.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Submission Guidelines</b></div><div><br></div><div>All submissions must conform to both the <a href="http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/sim_submissions/">ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions</a> and the <a href="http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication">SIGPLAN Republication Policy</a>. The same paper cannot be simultaneously submitted to other conferences or journals. In case of doubt, please get in touch with the Program Chair.</div><div><br></div><div>Papers are to be submitted electronically to <a href="http://www.easychair.org/">EasyChair</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Please use <a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=modularity15">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=modularity15</a> to submit your paper. Submissions should use the <a href="http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm">SIGPLAN Proceedings Format</a> using 9 point font. Please include page numbers in your submission as this will be helpful for the reviewers and also for you when reading their reviews. (If your submission is written using LaTeX, please set the preprint option in the LaTeX \documentclass command to generate page numbers.) Please also ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes are legible. Papers for these tracks are limited to 4 pages in this format.</div><div><br></div><div>All submitted papers are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers from all tracks will appear in the Modularity'15 Proceedings Companion in the ACM Digital Library.</div><div><br></div><div>We are still in the process of forming the various program committees for these tracks.
