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.

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.
