VIMPL (Value Independence in Modern Programming Languages) intends to welcome a wide range of topics and perspectives relevant to value independence. We will accept three kinds of submissions:

• Research papers (10 pages, excluding references) documenting past or ongoing effort to use and/or leverage value independence in new or existing programming languages.
• Extended abstracts (2 pages) summarizing the design and implementation of applications or libraries centered around value independence.
• Position papers (2 pages) presenting the authors’ opinion on a topic related to the workshop.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Programming languages designed to support value independence;
• Inclusion of value types in reference-oriented languages (e.g., Java, Python, or Javascript);
• Aliasing restriction mechanisms designed to support value independence in reference-oriented languages (e.g., ownership and uniqueness);
• Memory representation and garbage collection of value types;
• Optimization strategies based on value independence;
• Empirical studies on the use, usability, and/or performance of mechanisms to promote value independence.

Papers should strictly adhere to the ACM `acmart` format v1.87 or newer and be submitted as PDF: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Please use the following LaTeX class configuration: `\documentclass[sigconf,screen]{acmart}`.
