oopsla-topic-selection

separate

Use when judging whether a project is OOPSLA-shaped — a PL contribution whose evidence spans design, implementation, formalism, or empirical study — and routing within the SIGPLAN family from OOPSLA's seat: POPL for theory-first, PLDI for implementation-performance, ICFP for functional, Onward! for vision, ECOOP, or SE venues.

When to use

• judging whether a project is OOPSLA-shaped
• routing within the SIGPLAN family
• identifying center of mass
• checking exemplar precedent
• verifying current scope text
• committing to a round or re-route

When not to use

• product description novelty
• theorems standing alone without implementation story
• evaluation as speedup contribution
• speculative ideas needing permission
