Practitioners' Report
The Practitioners' report track will provide an opportunity to hear
about others' experiences in applying object-oriented technologies and
related software development practices. Practitioners' reports explore
how concepts that sound good on paper (and at conferences!) work in
the real world. They are a valuable means of sharing experiences,
especially at the "bleeding edge" of technology.
ECOOP 2004 attendees can find out what it is
like to adopt a new language, use a new method, develop a common
framework, maintain a large application, or migrate to object and/or
component technology. Expectations, beliefs, and hopes can be
validated, or dashed, by the experiences reported from real-world
projects.
ECOOP 2004 attendees want objective reports
with supporting evidence for any claims made, and they particularly
want reports that discuss both benefits and drawbacks of the
approaches used. Reports may focus on a particular aspect of object
technology usage and practice, or describe broad project experiences.
Submissions that focus on people, process or development challenges
are particularly encouraged.
Product marketing or sales presentations are inappropriate for this
forum. This is an opportunity to let your technology speak for
itself.
Presentation
There will be a total of 6–8 presentations over two half days. Each
presentation will last up to 45 minutes followed by up
to 15 minutes for questions and answers.
Submission Guidelines
Your proposal should be electronically submitted through the
ECOOP 2004 online submission system
(http://cyberchair.acm.org/ecoop/).
Alternatively, you may send your proposal by email to the
practitioners' report chair
(egil.andersen@dnv.com).
Your submission is completed when you receive an acknowledgement
(via e-mail) that your submission has been received.
Your proposal must include:
- Either the complete presentation,
or alternatively a 1–4 page abstract.
The abstract should identify the issues and insights
that represent the main contribution of your talk.
- If you intend to make a short software demo during the presentation,
please describe its content in brief, and how much time you intend to
spend on it.
- The submission must contain the following information:
- All author names
- Primary contact ― the person responsible for the presentation.
- Postal mail address
- Telephone numbers
- E-mail address
- Possibly references (e.g. URLs) to your company, white papers, other
presentations, or similar.
- The submission must be files in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, PDF, HTML, or
straight 7-bit ASCII.
- A description of hardware, software (e.g., OS, applications),
and orgware (e.g., network availability) requirements for the
presentation. Ecoop 2004 may provide basic
equipment such as PCs, projection facilities, etc., but the
availability of this and potentially other type of equipment must
be clarified by consultation with the practitioners' report
chair.
Selection
Presentations will be selected on the basis of impact of your
results, technical merit, novelty, relevance to object-oriented
technology, and also expected attendee interest in your
presentation.
