		    Call For Papers and Participation

			    ACM Conference on
     Object Oriented Programming Systems, Languages, and Applications

            September 29 - October 2, 1986,  Portland, Oregon

OOPSLA-86 is a new ACM-sponsored conference that brings together users and
implementors of object oriented systems.  Through tutorials, papers, panel
discussions and workshops, as well as demonstrations, exhibits and videotapes,
OOPSLA-86 will provide a forum for sharing experience and knowledge among
experts and novices alike.  

We invite technical papers, case studies, and surveys in the following areas:

Theory:     		Including core definition of object oriented
			programming, semantic models and methodology.
Languages:  		Existing object oriented languages, extensions to
			conventional languages, and new languages.
Implementation:  	Including architectural support, compilation and
            		interpretation, and special techniques.
Tools and Environments:	Including user interfaces, utilities and operating
            		system support.
Applications:  		Commercial, educational, and scientific applications
			that exploit object oriented programming.
Related Work:  		The object oriented paradigm in other fields such as
			databases and operating systems.

Papers on other relevant topics are welcome, as are proposals for workshops
and panel discussions.

All papers will be refereed prior to selection and inclusion in the conference
proceedings.  Technical papers will be selected on the basis of originality and
contribution to the state of the art of design, implementation, methodology, or
practice.  Survey papers will be selected on the basis of how well they
crystallize and integrate, in a way not previously presented, knowledge about
one or more aspects of the field.

Papers must be submitted in English, and should be no longer than 25
double-spaced pages.  The cover page should include a title, an abstract of not
more than 100 words, and author's name, affiliation, address and phone number. 
Five copies must be received by the Program Chairman at the address below, no
later than April 1, 1986.  Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 1,
1986, and final versions of accepted papers will be due by June 15, 1986.  As
the proceedings of this conference will be widely disseminated, publication of
more than an abstract of a submitted paper is likely to inhibit republication
in ACM's refereed publications.

A room at the conference will be reserved for video presentations that
illustrate or supplement the concepts conveyed in other presentations. 
Submissions must run no longer than 15 minutes, and should be on 3/4-inch
U-Matic format tape.  Tapes must be received by the Video Chairman at the
address below, no later than July 1, 1986.
