========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ACM SIGPLAN 2003 Workshop on Interpreters, Virtual Machines and Emulators June 12, 2003 San Diego, California Co-located with PLDI'03 at FCRC'03 http://www.cs.tcd.ie/David.Gregg/ivme03 =========================================================================== The ACM SIGPLAN 2003 Workshop on Interpreters, Virtual Machines and Emulators provides a venue to bring together researchers and practitioners on interpreters, virtual machine design, emulators and machine simulators. The theme of the workshop includes novel research on new techniques, as well as experience reports on innovative real systems and applications. Papers are solicited in areas including, but not necessarily limited to, the following: o Interpreter optimisations o Virtual machine design o Virtual machines for code compression o Machine emulators o Processor simulators o Interpreters for embedded systems o Mixed-mode interpretive/compiled systems o Hardware support o Portable (retargetable) interpreters o Interpreters for very high-level languages o Simplicity, maintainability and correctness issues o Software engineering aspects (e.g. cost, time to market) o Experience reports In principle, any topic relating to the design or implementation of interpreter-based systems is suitable for this workshop. If there is any doubt about the suitability of a given topic for the workshop, please contact the program chair for confirmation. Please submit your paper electronically via the workshop web site. The final versions of papers will be formatted according the ACM proceedings format and will be no longer than 8 pages in this format. This 8 pages includes everything (i.e., it is the total length of the paper). Templates for ACM format are available for Latex, Word Perfect, and Microsoft Word are located at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Submitted versions of papers do not have to use this format, but should not be excessively long. Submissions should be in PDF or Postscript (preferred) that is interpretable by Ghostscript and printable on US Letter and A4 sized paper. Papers already being reviewed by another conference or workshop are not eligible. If a closely related paper has been submitted to a journal, the authors must notify the program chair. The deadline for submissions is March 10th 2003. Please visit the web site for submission instructions. Important Dates: o March 10th, 2003: Paper submission o April 28th 2003: Author notification o May 21st 2003: Camera ready copy o June 12th 2003: Workshop Organizers: General Chair David Gregg, Trinity College Dublin Program Chair Anton Ertl, TU Wien Program Committee Todd Austin, University of Michigan Michael Franz, University of California at Irvine Chris Fraser, Microsoft Research Etienne Gagnon, University of Quebec at Montreal Jan Hoogerbrugge, Philips Research Roberto Ierusalimschy, PUC-Rio Paul Klint, University of Amsterdam Ian Piumarta, University of Paris 6 Vitor Santos Costa, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Mario Wolczko, Sun Microsystems =============================================================================
