Redwood City, CA (Silicon Valley) This communication is an initial call for participation; a future notice will have more cost information plus hotel/travel info. The workshop will provide tutorials, "practice & experience" presentations, discussions about the future direction of PCCTS, and finally an opportunity for PCCTS users to exchange ideas. We encourage the submission of short (<=5 page) "position" papers and/or "experience" presentations (<=30 min). For more information contact Terence Parr at parrt@acm.org. S U M M A R Y SCOPE / WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED Users of PCCTS, users of other language tools, persons interested in learning more about language tools, persons interested purely in the predicated-LL(k) parsing strategy of the ANTLR parser generator, instructors interested in using PCCTS for their compiler courses (there are already a fair number of courses being taught with PCCTS), and businesses interested in evaluating PCCTS or other language tools. WHY We would like to more actively support the growing PCCTS community, to promote the exchange of ideas between users, to discuss the future directions of the tools. PROCEEDINGS We will be printing copies of the notes, presentations, position papers prior to the workshop. We also hope to make electronic copies of the proceedings available to other PCCTS users. FEE We hope to keep the fee to less than $50 and certainly will only be used to cover costs of proceedings and refreshments. When a better estimate of the number of participants is known, a price will be fixed. CURRENT SUPPORT NeXT has donated the use of a room in their large training facility. REFRESHMENTS We anticipate serving refreshments to promote informal discussions at meal times rather than forcing attendees to go off site. AFTER-SESSION ENTERTAINMENT We hope to provide suggestions and organized "field trips" to the many sites in the San Francisco Bay area.
