Papers accepted at either of the rounds will be published in the 2024
volume of PACMPL(OOPSLA) and invited to be presented at the SPLASH
conference in October 2024.

### Scope

The OOPSLA issue of the Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages
(PACMPL) welcomes papers focusing on all practical and theoretical
investigations of programming languages, systems and environments.
Papers may target any stage of software development, including
requirements, modelling, prototyping, design, implementation,
generation, analysis, verification, testing, evaluation, maintenance,
and reuse of software systems. Contributions may include the
development of new tools, techniques, principles, and evaluations.

#### Review Process

PACMPL(OOPSLA) has two rounds of reviewing with submission deadlines
around October and April each year. As you submit your paper you will
receive around three reviews and an opportunity to provide an author
response that will be read and addressed by the reviewers in the final
decision outcome summary. There are 5 possible outcomes at the end of
the round:

*Accept*: Your paper will appear in the upcoming volume of PACMPL
(OOPSLA).

*Conditional Accept*: You will receive a list of required revisions
that you will need to address. You must submit a revised paper, a clear
explanation of how your revision addresses these comments, and
"if possible" a diff of the PDF as supplementary material. Assuming
you meet the listed requirements, after further review by the same
reviewers, your paper will very likely  be accepted. This process
*has to be completed within two months of the initial decision* for the
paper to be accepted, so we encourage timely turnaround in case
revisions take more than one cycle to be accepted.

*Minor Revision*: The reviewers have concerns that go beyond what can
be enumerated in a list. Therefore, while you may receive a list of
revisions suggested by the reviewers, this will not necessarily be
comprehensive. You will have the opportunity to resubmit your revised
paper and have it re-reviewed by the same reviewers, which may or may
not result in your paper's acceptance. When you resubmit, you should
clearly explain how the revisions address the comments of the
reviewers, by including a document describing the changes and "if
possible" a diff of the PDF as supplementary material. This process
*has to be completed within two months of the initial decision* for the
paper to be accepted in the current round, so we encourage timely
turnaround in case revisions take more than one cycle to be accepted.

*Major Revision*: You will receive a list of revisions suggested by the
reviewers. Papers in this category are *invited to submit a revision
to the next round of submissions* with a specific set of expectations
to be met. When you resubmit, you should clearly explain how the
revisions address the comments of the reviewers, by including a
document describing the changes and "if possible" a diff of the PDF as
supplementary material. The revised paper will be re-evaluated in the
next round. Resubmitted papers will retain the same reviewers
throughout the process to the extent possible.

*Reject*: Rejected papers will not be included in the upcoming volume
of PACMPL(OOPSLA). Papers in this category are not guaranteed a review
if resubmitted less than one year from the date of the original
submission. A paper will be judged to be a resubmission if it is
substantially similar to the original submission. The Chairs will
decide whether or not a paper is a resubmission of the same work.

### Submissions

Submitted papers must be at most **23 pages** in 10 point font. There
is no page limit on references. No appendices are allowed on the main
paper, instead authors can upload supplementary material with no page
or content restrictions, but reviewers may choose to ignore it.
Submissions must adhere to the "ACM Small" template available from
[the ACM](http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions). Papers
are expected to use author-year citations. Author-year citations may be
used as either a noun phrase, such as "The lambda calculus was
originally conceived by Church (1932)", or a parenthetic phase, such
as "The lambda calculus (Church 1932) was intended as a foundation for
mathematics".

PACMPL uses double-blind reviewing. Authors' identities are only
revealed if a paper is accepted. Papers must

1. omit author names and institutions,
2. use the third person when referencing your work,
3. anonymise supplementary material.

Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the
submission; see the DBR FAQ. When in doubt, contact the Review
Committee Chairs.
