Dear functional friends Here's the Call for Papers for a new Workshop on Intermediate Representations. I expect it to get a lot of papers about the JVM and program dependence graphs, but the Chair explicitly wants papers about intermediate representations for functional programs, both typed and untyped. So, do me a favour :-) and submit your paper, lest I get landed with a mountain of SSA papers to review. (Yes, SSA is just CPS in disguise. But the disguise is heavy.) The deadline is rather short: Jan 21. Happy Christmas! Simon ============================== Call for Papers International Workshop on Intermediate Representations (WIR 2011) Co-located with CGO 2011, April 2/3 2011 in Chamonix, France http://researchr.org/conference/wir-2011 Description =========== The intermediate representation is the core of any program transformation tool. Its design has a significant impact on the simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness of program transformations. The developments in concurrent programming, integrated development environments, and domain-specific languages pose new requirements on intermediate representations. This workshop provides a forum to discuss current trends and experiences in the design, implementation, and application of intermediate representations. Topics of Interest ================== The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: * intermediate representations for o parallelism and concurrency o instrumentation o JIT compilation o compiler verification o domain-specific languages o refactoring o integrated development environments * functional intermediate representations for imperative programs * translation to, and code generation from an IR * modeling low-level machine details in IRs * impact of IR on the precision of static analyzers * representing static analysis results in an IR * origin tracking Submission ========== We solicit submission of original papers on topics relevant to intermediate representations. Papers should be formatted in SIGPLAN Proceedings Format, 9 point font, and be at most 8 pages in length. * http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm Selected papers will be published in the ACM digital library (to be confirmed). Papers should be submitted electronically with easychair: * http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wir2011 Important Dates =============== * Submission: January 21, 2011 * Notification: February 25, 2011 * Camera-ready: March 18, 2011 * Workshop: April 2/3, 2011 Organizers ========== * Florent Bouchez * Sebastian Hack * Eelco Visser Program Committee ================= * Florent Bouchez (chair) * Martin Bravenboer * Albert Cohen * François de Ferrière * Robert Fuhrer * Sebastian Hack (chair) * Andrew Kennedy * Sorin Lerner * Nathaniel Nystrom * Simon Peyton Jones * Tijs van der Storm * Eelco Visser (chair)
