_______________________________________________________________________ My apologies if you receive this more than once! _______________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------- LAST CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Principles of Abstract Machines in conjunction with the Joint International Symposia SAS'98 and PLILP/ALP'98 Pisa, Italy 14-18. September 1998 (http://www.di.unipi.it/di/groups/lp/spa98) ----------------------------------------------------------- This CFP is also available online: http://www.cs.uni-sb.de/~diehl/amworkshop ----------------------------------------------------------- Recently the topic of abstract machines has got a new boost by the success of the Java Virtual Machine. For many years abstract machines have been designed for different sorts of languages including imperative, object-oriented, eager functional, lazy functional, constraint and logic languages, as well as hybrid languages. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and developers working on different language paradigms. We are especially looking for papers which investigate principles underlying several abstract machines, analyse the relation of language semantics and abstract machines or discuss implementation alternatives. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: * relation to programming language semantics * relation to program analyses (or non-standard semantics) * comparison of implementation techniques * just-in-time compilation * garbage collection * internet programming (e.g. security, fault-tolerance) * analyses of abstract machine programs * compiling other languages to JVM * hybrid languages * concurrency Important Dates Submission Deadline: Friday June 19 Notification: Friday July 24 Final version: Friday August 14 Submission The submission deadline is June 19. Papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Papers must describe original, previously unpublished work, and must not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. They must be written in English, must not exceed 10 pages (Springer LNCS format, excluding references and figures), and must contain a cover page containing the following: a 200-word abstract, keywords, postal and electronic mailing addresses, and phone and fax numbers of one of the authors. Submission is electronic (up to exceptions) via e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organizers Stephan Diehl (Saarbruecken, Germany) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peter Sestoft (Copenhagen, Denmark) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Program Committee Michael Franz (Irvine, California) Michael Hanus (Aachen, Germany) Pieter Hartel (Southampton, UK) Peter van Roy (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium)
