Does anyone plan (or know of someone who is planning) to reply to this with
a Forth related paper?  Are any Forth people going?

				CALL FOR PAPERS

   IEEE Computer Society 1992 International Conference on Computer Languages

	       San Francisco, California, USA, April 20-23, 1992

    Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer
	    Languages.  In cooperation with IFIP Working Group 2.4.

This is the fourth in a series of conferences devoted to all aspects of
computer languages, serving to bring together people broadly interested in
machine processable descriptions.  The hallmarks of ICCL are diversity,
openness to a wide range of linguistic research, and international
representation.  The focus is on new ideas in languages and language technology
which are innovative or experimental in design, implementation, specification
or application.  The conference normally includes a number of panel discussions
on particular linguistic issues as well as a formal tutorial on a topic of
general interest to the computing community.

Papers are sought that describe significant new theoretical results or
approaches, novel language features and designs, clever implementation
techniques, notable application experiences, or insightful evaluations.  Areas
of particular interest include but are not limited to:

	language design & implementation
	language processing & analysis 
	language theory & semantics
	language abstract interpretation 
	reqm'ts/design/specification languages
	functional/relational/logic languages
	distributed/parallel/real-time languages
	object-oriented languages
	multiparadigm languages
	visual/graphical languages
	application-specific languages
	prototyping languages

Papers should be at most 20 double-spaced pages (10 pt on 16 pt) in length,
should have an abstract of approximately 250 words, and a separate cover page
indicating the title, authors, and a list of keywords.  Papers will be judged
on the basis of their relevance, significance, originality, correctness, and
clarity.  Accepted papers will appear in a full proceedings published by the
IEEE Computer Society Press, for which authors will be expected to sign a
copyright release form.

Also sought are proposals for panel sessions on linguistic topics of general
interest to the computing community.  Panel session proposals must include a
title, organizer's name, approximately 250 word overview, and a list of
panelists that have agreed to participate if the proposed panel session is
accepted.

Submit 4 copies of papers or 3 copies of panel session proposals by September
15, 1991 to Professor J.R. Cordy, program committee chair, at the address
below. Submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter that includes a
return mailing address, telephone number and email address (if known).  Authors
will be notified of acceptance or rejection by December 1, 1991.  Camera ready
versions of accepted papers will be due January 15, 1992.

I presented a graph reduction paper at ICCL '90 (my technique was based
on threaded interpretation).  Take a look at the program/steering
committee and you will see it is a typical CS/theoretical conference.
My guess is that Forth will not get a warm reception (but, they did
promise to be open-minded).  If you want to submit a paper, look up
a couple of old conference proceedings to get the flavor of the conference
before you expend time and effort on writing the paper.  I don't
plan to submit nor attend again.
