Call for Papers
ACM SIGPLAN '90 Conference on
Programming Language Design and Implementation
White Plains, New York, June 20-22, 1990
SIGPLAN '90 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 papers relevant to practical issues concerning the
design, development, implementation, and use of programming languages (in
contrast to the annual SIGACT/SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming
Languages, which is oriented more toward foundations). The conference does not
favor any programming paradigm or support architecture.
Among the topics encompassed by this theme are:
compiler construction
interpretation
implementation by preprocessing
design and use of languages
special-purpose languages
design of internal representations
incremental and interactive methods
translation by program transformation
benchmarks and assessment
translator validation
implementation of non-traditional languages
implementation for non-traditional architectures
programming environments
optimization techniques for scalar 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 10pt on 16pt.
Authors should submit twelve copies of an extended abstract to be received
by the program chair no later than November 20, 1989. 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 29, 1990. The accepted papers must be prepared on special
forms and be received by the program chair no later than March 19, 1990.
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 purchase 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.

The conference will be preceded by two days of tutorials on June 18-19.
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.
