Tcl/Tk 2009 will be held in Portland, Oregon USA from September 28 – October 2, 2009. The program committee asks all people using and developing with Tcl/Tk and extensions to submit papers and proposals for presentations at this conference. Past conferences have seen submissions covering a wide variety of topics including and not limited to:
The submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a summary not to exceed two pages. Omit extraneous or redundant information. Length is not a direct factor in judging the quality of the submission.
Send submissions as plain text to <tcl2009 AT tcl.tk> no later than July 1, 2009. Authors of accepted abstracts will have until September 11, 2009 to submit their final paper for the inclusion in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will be made available on digital media, so extra materials such as presentation slides, code examples, code for extensions etc. are encouraged.
Printed proceedings will be produced as an on-demand book at Lulu .
The authors will have 25 minutes to present the paper at the conference.
The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the following criteria:
Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.
Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to the application. Application and experience papers should clearly explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.
Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms will be returned to the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.
The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.
The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations of related research papers.
Slots for Works-in-Progress (WIP) presentations and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BOFs) are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting in August 1, 2009. Specific instructions for reserving WIP and BOF time slots will be provided in the registration information available in June 2009. Some WIP and BOF time slots will be held open for on-site reservation. All attendees with an interesting work in progress should consider reserving a WIP slot.
More information on the conference is available the conference Web site [L2 ] and will be published on various Tcl/Tk-related information channels.
