Call for Papers
ACM SIGPLAN '88 Conference on
Programming Language Design and Implementation
Atlanta, Georgia, June 22-24, 1988
SIGPLAN '88 continues the series of Compiler Construction Conferences,
but broadens its topics so that new results in other areas can also be
presented. The conference will provide a forum for researchers and
developers to gain awareness of current practical and experimental
work across the breadth of the field. Emphasis will be placed on
experimental results and experience with the languages and techniques
described.
The conference seeks papers relevant to practical issues concerning
the design, development, implementation, and use of programming
languages (in contrast to the annual SIGACT/SIGPLAN Symposium on Prin-
ciples of Programming Languages, which is oriented more toward founda-
tions).
Among the topics encompassed by this broadened theme are:
compiler construction
interpretation
implementation by preprocessing
design and use of special-purpose languages
design of internal representations
incremental and interactive methods
translation by program transformation
benchmarks and assessment
translator validation
implementation of nontraditional languages
implementation for nontraditional architectures
As usual, papers will be selected on the basis of novelty, signifi-
cance, and overall quality of the contributions. Submissions should
be in the form of an extended abstract summarizing the major results
to be presented, their importance, and their relationship to other
work in the field. The submissions will be read and evaluated by the
program committee and should be sufficiently complete to be the basis
for selection. The extended abstract should be no more than ten
pages, typed double spaced or typeset 10pt on 16pt.
Authors should submit twelve copies of an extended abstract to be
received by the program chair no later than November 16, 1987. Per-
sons submitting papers from countries in which access to copying
machines is difficult or impossible may submit a single copy. Authors
will be notified of acceptance or rejection by January 21, 1988. The
accepted papers must be prepared on special forms and be received by
the program chair no later than March 21, 1988. Authors of accepted
papers will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release form.
Proceedings will be distributed at the conference and as a special
issue of SIGPLAN Notices; they will subsequently be available for pur-
chase from ACM. All papers published in Proceedings are eligible for
publication in refereed ACM publications at the discretion of the
editor of the particular publication.
Program Committee:
Keith D. Cooper, Rice University
Stuart I. Feldman, Bell Communications Research
Charles N. Fischer, University of Wisconsin
Robert M. Halstead, Jr., Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Robert R. Henry, University of Washington
Paul Hudak, Yale University
Robert M. Keller, Quintus Computer Systems, Inc.
Steven S. Muchnick, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Teri Payton, Unisys Corp.
Mayer D. Schwartz (Chair), Tektronix Laboratories
Gregor Snelting, Technical University of Darmstadt
The conference will be preceded by two days of tutorials on June 20-
21. This year there will be two tracks: the first, as in 1986, will
present an overview of the fundamentals of compiler construction for
languages such as FORTRAN, Pascal, and C; the second will be on the
implementation of languages such as Lisp, Smalltalk and Prolog.
