Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH)

SPLASH (Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity) contains several conferences concerned with programming, languages, and software engineering, including OOPSLA (Object-oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications), Onward!, DLS (the Dynamic Languages Symposium), and GPCE.

SPLASH Steering Committee

The SPLASH Steering Committee is constituted by the following members:

  • current SIGPLAN Chair,
  • current SIGPLAN Vice chair,
  • future, current, and past three SPLASH General Chairs,
  • future, current, and past three OOPSLA Program Chairs,
  • future, current, and past three Onward! Program Chairs,
  • four members-at-large, and
  • the outgoing Chair of the Steering Committee, for one year past the end of his or her term as Chair.

The Chair of the Steering Committee is elected by the Steering Committee from among the members of the committee to serve a two-year term. The outgoing chair serves an additional year on the committee past his or her term as chair to provide institutional memory.

Steering Committee membership was expanded by adding members-at-large in 2020, with the intention of adding one member-at-large each subsequent year. Members-at-large serve 4 year terms and are selected by the Steering Committee.

The membership of the steering committee changes each year upon conclusion of that year’s conference.
