Call for Papers ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Intermediate Representations (IR '95) January 22, 1995, San Francisco, California Held in conjunction with POPL '95 An intermediate representation is the basis of any tool for manipulating computer programs. A good representation permits powerful operations to be performed more simply, and may enable operations that a weaker representation cannot support. This workshop will examine current trends and research in the design and use of intermediate representations. Submissions are invited for this workshop; the range of topics includes * new intermediate representations, and extensions to existing ones * intermediate representations for parallel or functional languages * application of intermediate representations to compilers, optimizers, parallelizers, error checkers, specification provers, debuggers, and other program development tools * translation into, or code generation from, an intermediate representation * novel applications of intermediate representations * reports on experiences with innovations in intermediate representations Program Committee: Bob Ballance, Object Science Michael Ernst, Microsoft Research (chair) Jeanne Ferrante, University of California at San Diego Susan Horwitz, University of Wisconsin Steve Muchnick, Sun Microsystems Carl Offner, Digital Equipment Corporation Keshav Pingali, Cornell University David Tarditi, Carnegie-Mellon University POPL General Chair: Ron Cytron, Washington University Submission: Authors should submit 9 copies of a detailed summary not to exceed 5000 words (approximately 10 pages) to the program chair by September 30, 1994. Excessively long submissions may not be fully reviewed. Electronic submission of portable PostScript is also permitted. The cover page should include a return postal address and an electronic mail address (if possible). The research should not be submitted or published elsewhere. Please follow the same guidelines as for writing summaries for the POPL conference. More information is available via the World Wide Web at URL http://www.research.microsoft.com:/~mernst/ir95.html or by anonymous FTP from directory ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/user/petel/popl95 Authors will be notified of paper acceptance by November 30, 1994. Final versions of accepted papers are due on January 6, 1995. A proceedings containing the accepted papers will be distributed at the workshop.
