PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

Workshop proposals should be submitted by email to the ECOOP 2017
workshop organizers, Werner Dietl (wdietl at uwaterloo.ca) and Ernest
Teniente (teniente at essi.upc.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 20th, the deadline for submission April 20th, and
notification May 15th.

EVALUATION

  - Proposals will be reviewed by the ECOOP 2017 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.
