NEWS

PPPJ 2009 is held in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN, ACM SIGAPP, and
Elsevier, andis sponsored by the University of Calgary, Alberta, and
iCORE, the Informatics Circle of Research Excellence.

The following tutorials have been confirmed:

* Preventing Bugs with Pluggable Type-Checking, Michael D. Ernst,
University of Washington

* Alice 3 and Java for CS1 & AP CS, Wanda Dann and Don Slater, Carnegie
Mellon University, Stephen Cooper, Saint Joseph's University

Further tutorials and workshops will be announced at the conference web
page as they are confirmed.

SCOPE

Java is one of most widely used languages, with a continuously evolving
support in the form of APIs, libraries, and tools. Its applications
range from single-processor embedded systems to distributed enterprise
applications.

We invite papers exploring all aspects of Java programming. In
particular, we seek research papers covering the principles of
programming in Java, and teaching and experience reports dealing with
the practice of Java programming. Papers introducing new kinds of
frameworks and tools which have been developed using Java are also
encouraged.

In 2009 we explicitly invite contributions on language and programming
issues on the Java platform in general, including but not limited to
languages like Scala, Groovy, JRuby, Jython, Clojure, etc.

Papers must describe original work, and must not have been accepted or
submitted for publication elsewhere. Topics include but are not limited
to:

   The Java Language and Systems
   Java and Dynamic Languages
   Software Engineering with Java
   Applications in Science, Engineering, and Business
   Agent-Based Java Systems
   Mobile Java
   Practice and Experience Reports
   Teaching Java Programming

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not
currently under review. Papers will be evaluated according to their
significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and
relevance to the conference.

At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the
conference.

Four types of paper submissions will be accepted: research papers,
experience reports, industry papers, and demo papers. Submitted papers
should clearly indicate their type.

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM
International Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the
ACM Digital Library. We will invite the authors of the best papers to
provide an extended version for a special issue of Elsevier Science of
Computer Programming.

Research and experience papers must not exceed 10 pages, while
Demo and Industry papers must not exceed 4 pages. The required
format for the submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings Style.
Please apply the ACM Computing Classification categories and
terms. The ACM Computing Classification scheme can be found at
http://www.acm.org/class/1998. The author kit containing the Latex,
Word and Word Perfect templates for the required style can be found at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

Detailed paper submission instructions can be found on the conference
website.

PERFORMANCE DATA

Performance data in submitted articles should be reproducible and
you should state clearly how they have been collected (this should,
eg, include the number of runs, important runtime environment
characteristics, etc, as well as variance for the resulting data). This
will allow the reviewers to get a fuller picture of how valuable your
contribution is. As a source of inspiration you may want to look, e.g.,
at

A. Georges, D. Buytaert, and L. Eeckhout. Statistically rigorous Java
performance evaluation. In ACM Conference on Object-Oriented Programming
Systems, Languages, and Applications, pages 57–76, Montreal, Quebec,
Canada, 2007.
