Object-oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications — 2026

About OOPSLA

The ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Object Oriented Programming Systems Languages and Applications is a premier venue within the broader SPLASH community. OOPSLA focuses on research that advances programming language design, implementation techniques, type systems, program analysis, software architecture, and the principles that shape modern software development. Although rooted in object oriented thinking, the conference welcomes diverse approaches that improve how programmers create and reason about complex systems.

Who Should Attend

OOPSLA is ideal for programming language researchers, software engineers, tool builders, and developers who care about language expressiveness, system reliability, program structure, and new approaches to software construction. Attendees gain access to deep research, demonstrations, and discussions that push the boundaries of language and system design.

Who Should Submit Papers

Authors creating new language designs, type systems, program analyses, runtime systems, verification techniques, or methodologies that reshape software development should submit to OOPSLA. Papers that combine conceptual insight with practical implementation are especially valued.
