If you are interested in participating, there are two ways to do it! You can either contribute a short paper and/or an actual (worked) example, or you may apply to attend as a discussant.

Attending as a presenter

If you wish to present at the workshop you must submit a short paper (4 to 6 pages) and/or a (worked) example, as an e-mail attachment to alphonce@cse.buffalo.edu with subject line "OOPSLA-2008 Workshop Paper Submission". Your submission must clearly identify why the paper is relevant to the workshop, as described in Themes and Goals section, and why you believe your contribution is "killer".

Attending as a discussant

If you wish to attend the workshop as a discussant you must submit a short statement of interest (a manifesto, if you will) (1 to 2 pages) as an e-mail attachment to alphonce@cse.buffalo.edu with subject line "OOPSLA-2008 Workshop Discussant Submission". Your submission must clearly state why you are interested in attending the workshop and what OO background you have (e.g. when did you learn OO, at what level do you teach it). We seek the participation of people with a broad spectrum of backgrounds, so don't hesitate to submit an application because you think you have too little/too much experience to contribute.

How to submit

Submissions must be made on or before the submission deadline. Submissions may be in plain text, in Microsoft Word .doc format or in PDF. Each submission will be anonymously reviewed by members of the organizing committee. The decision of the organizing committee is final.

If your submission is accepted, you (or one of your co-authors) is expected to register for the workshop and attend.
