[ecoop-info] ONWARD! Call for Participation and Early Registration

[Joao Araujo]

**************** Call For Participation *****************

Onward! 09 The conference for new ideas, new paradigms,
and reflections on everything to do with programming and software.

Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN in cooperation with SIGSOFT

Co-located with OOPSLA 2009
Orlando, Florida  October 25–29 2009

http://www.onward-conference.org

EARLY REGISTRATION 17th September
***********************************************************

Onward! is a place for highly original ideas about how technological
advances and new applications are going to shape computational fabrics
of the future. Onward! is more radical, more visionary, and more open
than other conferences to not so well proven but well argued ideas. We
welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching, and reporting
on programming languages and software engineering research. Onward!
takes a broad and inclusive view of computation and received
contributions from all fields represented at OOPSLA and other software
conferences.
