Onward! is a premier multidisciplinary conference focused on everything to do
with programming and software: including processes, methods, languages,
communities and applications. Onward! is more radical, more visionary and more
open than other conferences to ideas that are well-argued but not yet fully
proven. We welcome different ways of thinking about, approaching and reporting
on programming language and software engineering research.
### Onward! Papers
Onward! Papers is looking for grand visions and new paradigms that could make a
big difference in how we will one day build software. But it is not looking for
research-as-usual papers; conferences like OOPSLA are the place for that. Those
conferences require rigorous validation such as theorems or empirical
experiments, which are necessary for scientific progress, but which typically
preclude discussion of early-stage ideas. Onward! papers must also supply some
degree of validation because mere speculation is not a good basis for progress.
However, Onward! accepts less rigorous methods of validation such as compelling
arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial examples. The use of
worked-out examples to support new ideas is strongly encouraged.
### Onward! Essays
Onward! Essays is looking for clear and compelling pieces of writing about
topics important to the software community. An essay can be long or short. An
essay can be an exploration of the topic and its impact, or a story about the
circumstances of its creation; it can present a personal view of what is,
explore a terrain, or lead the reader in an act of discovery; it can be a
philosophical digression or a deep analysis. It can describe a personal
journey, perhaps the one the author took to reach an understanding of the
topic. The subject area—software, programming, and programming languages—should
be interpreted broadly and can include the relationship of software to human
endeavors, or its philosophical, sociological, psychological, historical, or
anthropological underpinnings.
