will be held in Rome, Italy. ECOOP will host an array of workshops on a
variety of topics in computing from July *18th through 22th*. Typically, a
workshop either addresses a focused topic in depth or explores connections
between object-oriented technologies and other areas. The workshops will
run throughout the week of the conference.

# Proposal Submission

Workshop proposals should be submitted by email to the ECOOP 2016 workshop
organizers, Francesco Logozzo (logozzo [at] fb.com) and Paley Li (pa.li
[at] neu.edu).

# Schedule

Each workshop will have to pay attention to the following estimated timing
constraints: the workshop's web page should be up two weeks after
notification of acceptance, the Call for Papers should be public by
February 26th, the deadline for submission April 15th, and notification May
13th.

# Evaluation

 - Proposals will be reviewed by the ECOOP 2016 workshop organizers once
submission has closed.
 - Notification will be sent one week after submission has closed.
 - Each proposal will be evaluated according to the value and relevance of
its workshop topic, the expertise and experience of the workshop
organizers, and the potential of the proposed workshop to attract
participants and generate useful results.
 - The number of accepted proposals will be limited by the availability of
the conference rooms.

# Special Points

We ask you to set up your PC chair and your web page as soon as possible.
When building your PC, please consider that it is important that PC members
attend the workshop to have lively discussions. It is motivating for
workshop participants to meet experts in the field.

# Dissemination

A proposal should clearly state how the results of the workshop -- the
papers and other outcomes -- will be made available to participants and
others, both before and after the workshop event. Guidance will be provided
to organizers who wish to publish their proceedings with Dagstuhl LIPIcs.
