The popular topics for papers are systems, algorithms, and experimental 
stuff like AI. Under systems, it's networking, compilers, filesystems, 
some other OS stuff like that.

A paper about ensuring const-correctness efficiently in a language that 
allows pointers might make it through. A paper about a good design for 
const? I doubt it, unless you're familiar with journals that I'm not.
