First Announcement and Call for Papers
SECOND INTERNATIONAL
MODULA-2 CONFERENCE
'MODULA-2 and BEYOND'
11-13 September 1991
Loughborough University of Technology
UK
AIMS and SCOPE
The First International Modula-2 Conference held in October 1989 at Bled,
Yugoslavia, was a major step in the history of the language. By its
tremendous success it demonstrated the benefit of such a forum for the
Modula-2 community. This Second International Conference once again
provides an opportunity for researchers, developers and users of Modula-2
and other modular languages to gather together, exchange ideas and
identify future trends. However, we are acutely aware that we are dealing
with a dynamic, not a static, subject. If the Modula-2 conferences are
not to fossilize they themselves must reflect such changes. Therefore we
have decided that the theme of this second conference will be...
'MODULA-2 and BEYOND'
In particular, the progression from Modula-2 to ISO Modula-2 and the
influences of OBERON and Modula-3 are of special significance.
The following list is a general guide to topics for which papers are
solicited, but this does not exclude other, related, topics.
Industrial and commercial applications of Modula-2
Real-time and real-time embedded systems
Safety critical applications
Parallel processing and Multiprocessor applications
Modula-2 in education
Object-oriented design and programming
Development environments
Debugging environments and tools
Compilers and compiler development
Software engineering
Operating systems
Modula-2 and formal methods
Oberon language and system
Modula-3
MODULA-2 WORKSHOP
A one-day pre-conference workshop will take place on Tuesday, 10th
September 1991, entitled MOVING TO MODULA-2. Its purpose is to provide a
broad description of the features of Modula-2 for those working with
Pascal, C and Fortran. It aims to demonstrate the benefits for such users
in changing to Modula-2, and to show how this can be implemented with
minimum disruption.
----------------------------------------------------------------
WORKSHOP PROGRAMME - Provisional
An overview of Modula-2
Software engineering benefits
Concurrency and low-level features
Real-time embedded systems programming
From Pascal to Modula-2 (parallel session)
From C to Modula-2 (parallel session)
From Fortran to Modula-2 (parallel session)
Re-using C modules from Modula-2 programs
A review of Modula-2 compilers and development environments
