*****************************************************************

This conference is held in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN, Elsevier and
planned cooperation with ACM SIGAPP, sponsored by SUN Microsystems.

SCOPE

Java is one of the most actively evolving languages with regard to the
development of new APIs, libraries, and tools. It is applicable to
problems ranging from embedded systems to enterprise applications. We invite
papers exploring all aspects of Java programming; in particular we seek
research papers covering the principles of programming in Java, teaching and
experience reports dealing with the practice of Java programming as
well as papers introducing new kinds of frameworks and tools which have been
developed using Java.

Papers must describe original work, and must not have been accepted or
submitted for publication elsewhere. Topics include but are not
limited to:

  The Java Language:
      Optimization
      VM Design
      Java Verification
      Aspect-Orientation
      Java-Specific Metrics
      Alternative languages on the Java VM
  Software Engineering with Java
      Program Design and Implementation
      Design Patterns Through Java
      Testing of Java Programs
      Performance of Java Programs
      Tools for Java Programming
      Java-Based MDD/MDA
      Java-Based MDL Tools
      Java-Based DSL Solutions
      Java for Embedded Systems
  Applications in Science, Engineering, and Business
      Novel Applications of Java
      Domain-Specific Frameworks
      Java-Based Tools
      Java-Based Enterprise Computing
  Agent-Based Java Systems
     Mobile Agents
     Massive Agent Systems

     Java and the Manufacturing Industry
  Teaching Java Programming
     Teleteaching Applications
     Teaching Methods

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not
currently under review. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three
independent referees. Papers will be evaluated according to their
significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and
relevance to the conference. At least one author of each accepted
paper is expected to attend the conference.

Four types of paper submissions will be accepted: research papers,
experience reports, industry papers, and demo papers. Submitted papers
should clearly indicate their type.

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM
International Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the
ACM Digital Library. We will invite the authors of the best papers to
provide an extended version for a special issue of Elsevier Science of
Computer Programming.

Research and experience papers must not exceed 10 pages while Demo and
Industry papers must not exceed 4 pages. The required format for the
submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings Style. Please apply the ACM
Computing Classification categories and terms. The ACM Computing
Classification scheme can be found at http://www.acm.org/class/1998/.
The author kit containing the Latex, Word and Word Perfect templates
for the required style can be found at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. More detailed
submission instructions of the papers in the PDF format will be posted
at the conference web site.

    * 7 May  - abstracts due
    * 21 May  - full papers due

ORGANIZATION

PPPJ'07 is organized by the New University of Lisbon, more specifically the
Department of Computer Science.

Computer Science Department at FCT/UNL

The DI/FCT/UNL - Departamento de Informatica da Faculdade de Ciencias e
Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa - was created in 1975 in order to
promote in Portugal the education and scientific progress at the domain of
computer science and Information technology. It has pioneered in Portugal
the education of Software Engineering and Computer Science at the University
level. DI-FCT-UNL is today a University of excelence widely recognized at
both national and international levels. It hosts two research centers CITI
(Centro de Informatica e Tecnologias da Informacao) and CENTRIA (Centro de
Inteligencia Artificial).

Conference Site

The conference site is the FCT Campus which is located in the town of Monte
de Caparica on the southern bank of the Rio Tejo (Tagus River),
approximately twelve kilometers from the center of Lisbon and four
kilometers from the lovely seaside town of Costa de Caparica. Conference
participants will enjoy the rich cosmopolitan atmosphere of Lisbon as
well as the attractions of a quiet, Atlantic Ocean resort.

VENUE

In the beautiful city of Lisbon, you will find a combination of
historical monuments and modern buildings. Lisbon is well-known for
its varied offer of
activities, from visiting the numerous monuments, museums, parks and
gardens, the EXPO'98 area and the Oceanarium to its famous gastronomy
and, of course, fado. Lisbon is also famous for its varied night life.
Lisbon's international airport is just 7km away from the city center, and the
city is also easily accessible by daily trains from several European cities. The
Lisbon Tourism Office web site is an excellent entry point for
visitors to start discovering our city. You can visit it by clicking on the logo
on the right, or by following this link: www.tourismlisbon.com/ The FCT
campus of Universidade Nova de Lisboa is readily accessible by car and rapid
public transport from the city of Lisbon and its airport. Hotel
accommodations are plentifully available both in Lisbon and Costa de
Caparica. From the standpoint of PPPJ 2007 participation, the most
convenient
accommodations are those available in Costa de Caparica although
participants should anticipate a greater time pressure to make
reservations in this seaside
resort town.
