SAC 2005
For the past nineteen years, the ACM
Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary
gathering forum for applied computer scientists,
computer engineers, software engineers, and application
developers from around the world. SAC 2005 is
sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing,
and is hosted by New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology,
Socorro, NM, USA.
OOPS TRACK: AIMS AND
TOPICS
Today's large scale software systems are typically designed and
implemented using the concepts of the object-oriented (OO) paradigm.
However, there is still a need for existing OO languages and
architectures to continuously adapt in response to demands for
new features and innovative approaches.
These new features, to name a few, include unanticipated software evolution,
security, safety, distribution, and interoperability.
The basic aim of the OOPS track at the SAC 2005 is to promote and
stimulate further research on the object-oriented programming and
distributed-object paradigms.
This track will foster the development of extensions and
enhancements to the prevalent OO languages, such as Java, C# and
C++, the formulation of innovative OO-based middleware
approaches, and the improvements to existing and well-established
distributed-object based systems.
Specifically, this track will invite papers investigating the
applicability of new ideas to widespread, and standard
object-oriented languages and distributed-object architectures.
A medium to long-term vision is also solicited, tackling general issues about
the current and future role of prevalent OO languages and distributed
architectures in Computer Science and Engineering.
Particularly of interest for this track are those papers that provide a thorough
analysis covering following aspects: theory, design,
implementation, applicability, performance evaluation, and
comparison/integration with existing constructs and mechanisms.
Original papers and implementation reports are invited from all areas of OO
programming languages and distributed-object computing.
The specific topics of interest for the OOPS track include, but are not limited to, the following:
> Programming abstractions
> Advanced type
mechanisms and type safety
> Multi-paradigm features
>
Language features in support of open systems
> Aspect-oriented and
component-based programming
> Reflection, meta-programming
>
Program structuring, modularity, generative
programming
> Compositional languages
> Distributed objects
and concurrency
> Middleware
> Heterogeneity and
interoperability
> Applications of distributed object
computing
For prospective authors of papers that address general advances in
programming languages or do not specifically focus on the improvements
to the object-oriented domain (e.g., OO languages, OO systems, OO architectures),
please also look at the Programming Languages
track of SAC 2005.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
> Submit your paper
electronically either in the PDF or the postscript format. Please
note that neither the hardcopy nor the fax submissions will be
accepted.
> The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in
the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person.
This is to facilitate a blind review process.
> The preferred format
for the submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings Template (available through
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).
The body of the paper should not exceed 4,000 words (5 pages
according to the above style).
> All submissions must be sent by
September 3, 2004 at the e-mail address mviroli@deis.unibo.it;
the message must have the subject "OOPS
Submission", and its body must contain the paper title and the
authors' name and affiliation.
PROCEEDINGS AND SPECIAL ISSUE
Papers
accepted for the OOPS track will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2005
proceedings and in the Digital Library, with the option
(at additional expense) to add 3 more pages. A set of selected papers, which
did not get accepted as full papers, will be accepted as poster papers and
will be published as extended 2-page abstracts in the symposium
proceedings. Finally, last year a number of OOPS full papers
was selected for an extended version published on a special issue of
the Journal of Object Technology
, and we
are confident that a special issue for OOPS 2005 will follow
next year.
