****************************************************************



The European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP) is a
premium conference covering all areas of object technology and related
software development technologies. ECOOP 2011 will take place on 25 -
29 July, 2011 in Lancaster, UK. Of particular interest to ECOOP 2011
are advancements of object technology and related software development
technologies to serve the needs of the current software landscape
characterized by the presence of multicore computers, mobile devices
and new kinds of platforms like the cloud, as well as the move from
stand-alone systems to services, advanced web applications, software
product lines and ultra-large systems. ECOOP 2011 wishes to embrace a
broad range of topics related to object-orientation, so the following
list of suggested topics is by no means exclusive.

- Analysis and design methods and patterns
- Databases, persistence, transactions
- Distributed, concurrent, mobile, real-time systems
- Empirical and application studies
- Frameworks, product lines, software architectures
- Language design and implementation
- Modularity, aspects, features, components, services, reflection
- Software development environments and tools
- Static and dynamic software analysis, testing, and metrics
- Theoretical foundations, type systems, formal methods
- Versioning, compatibility, software evolution

ECOOP 2011 solicits high quality submissions describing original and
unpublished results. Papers will be evaluated according to originality
and significance, precision and correctness, presentation and clarity,
and relevance. Incremental improvements over previously published work
should have been evaluated through systematic, comparative, empirical
or experimental evaluation. Submissions of papers describing
groundbreaking approaches to emerging problems will be considered
based on timeliness and potential impact.

Only papers that have not been published and are not under review for
publication elsewhere may be submitted. Double submissions will be
rejected without review. Authors are required to disclose prior
publication (formal or informal) of parts of the paper submitted to
ECOOP or of closely related papers. Such prior publications must be
cited and their relationship to the current submission explained.
Authors are also required to inform the ECOOP 2011 program chair about
closely related work submitted to another conference while the ECOOP
submission is under review.

Submissions will be carried out electronically via CyberChair. Papers
must be written in English, and be no longer than 25 pages, including
references, appendices and figures, and written using the LNCS style.
