Call for Papers ACM SIGPLAN'91 Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation Toronto, Ontario, Canada, June 26-28, 1991 SIGPLAN'91 continues the series of broad-based language and compiler design conferences. 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 original papers relevant to practical issues concerning the design, development, implementation, and use of programming languages (in contrast to the annual SIGACT/SIGPLAN POPL Conference which is oriented more toward foundations).The conference does not favor any particular programming paradigm or support architecture. As usual for SIGPLAN-sponsored conferences, papers awaiting acceptance to any other conference are not eligible for SIGPLAN'91; if a closely related paper has been submitted to a journal, the program chair must be notified. Among the topics encompassed by the conference are: compiler construction translation by program transformation interpretation benchmarks and assessment implementation by preprocessing translator validation design and use of languages design of internal representations special-purpose languages incremental and interactive methods programming environments implementation for non-traditional optimization techniques for scalar languages and/or architectures and parallel architectures As usual, papers will be selected on the basis of novelty, significance, 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 10 point type on 16 point spacing. Authors should submit twelve copies of an extended abstract (double sided, if possible) to be received by the program chair no later than November 19, 1990. Persons 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 28, 1991. The accepted papers must be formatted according to ACM conventions and be eceived by the program chair no later than March 18,1991. 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. All papers published in Proceedings are eligible for publication in refereed ACM publications at the discretion of the editor.

Muchnick, SUN Microsystems William Pugh, University f Maryland Barbara Ryder, Rutgers University Vivek Sarkar, IBM T J Watson Research Center Leon Sterling, Case Western Reserve University William E. Weihl, MIT The conference will be preceded by two days of tutorials on June 24-25. There will be two tracks as in previous years: the first will present an overview of the fundamentals of compiler construction for languages such as FORTRAN, Pascal, and C; the second will consider advanced topics.
