News: - Because of the number of requests for extensions, the deadline of PADO-II is extended uniformly until Friday 1st of December. - A satellite workshop on Implicit Computational Complexity, ICC'01, is now co-located with PADO-II and MFPS XVII. ---------- Call for Papers Symposium on Programs as Data Objects (PADO-II) Aarhus, Denmark, May 21-23, 2001 http://www.brics.dk/pado2/ PADO-II will bring together researchers working in the areas of programming and programming languages. The symposium focuses on techniques and supporting theory for treating programs as data objects. Technical topics include, but are not limited to: * Program manipulation: program specialization, type specialization, partial evaluation, normalization, reflection, rewriting, run-time code generation, self-application. * Program analysis: abstract interpretation, constraints, type inference, binding-time analysis. * Theoretical issues in representing and classifying programs: semantics, algorithmics, logics. * Applications: interpretation, compilation, compiler generation, verification, certification, meta-programming, instrumentation, incremental computation, staging, prototyping, debugging. Original results that bear on these and related topics are solicited. Prospective authors should submit papers through PADO-II's home page to arrive no later than December 1, 2000, which is an extended deadline. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are encouraged to consult with the program chairs prior to submission. Complete papers should be submitted electronically, either in PostScript or in PDF. (If this is a problem, please contact the program chairs.) Filenames should result from the catenation of the names of its authors (ie, *not* "paper.ps", "pado2.ps", "popl00.ps", etc., but, eg, "dupond-dupont.ps.gz", "brown-al.ps.gz", or "pedersen.ps.gz"). Submissions should not exceed 14 pages in the LNCS format <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html>. They must designate a corresponding author, include an e-mail address, and contain page numbers (just add "\pagestyle{plain}" before "\begin{document}"). Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of relevance, significance, correctness, originality, and clarity. They should include a clear identification of what has been accomplished and why it is significant. Submissions must include an abstract and a discussion of related work. They must describe work that has not previously been published in a major forum. The authors should indicate if a closely related paper is also being considered for another conference or journal. Authors will be notified of acceptance by January 16, 2001. Full versions of the accepted papers should be formatted in the LNCS format, and received no later than February 16, 2001. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and will appear in the proceedings, which will be published as a Springer LNCS volume. Further information about the symposium is available in its home page at <http://www.brics.dk/pado2/>.
