Call For Papers
Workshop on Implementation, Compilation, Optimization of
Object-Oriented Languages, Programs and Systems (ICOOOLPS'2006)
July 3, 2006, Nantes (France)
http://icooolps.loria.fr/
Co-located with the
20th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2006)
OVERVIEW:
Object-oriented languages are pervasive and play a significant role in
computer science and engineering life and sometime appear as
ubiquitous and completely mature. However, despite a large number of
works, there is still a clear need for solutions for efficient
implementation and compilation of OO languages in various application
domains ranging from embedded and real-time systems to desktop
systems.
The ICOOOLPS workshop thus aims to address this crucial issue of
optimization in OO languages, programs and systems. It intends to do
so by bringing together researchers and practitioners working in the
field of object-oriented languages implementation and
optimization. Its main goals are identifying fundamental bases and key
current issues pertaining to the efficient implementation, compilation
and optimization of OO languages, and outlining future challenges and
research directions.
An expected output of this workshop is a synthesis paper identifying
fundamental bases and key current issues pertaining to the efficient
implementation and compilation of OO languages, in order to spread
them further amongst the various computing systems. It is also
intended to extend this synthesis to encompass future challenges and
research directions in the field of OO languages implementation and
optimization.
Finally, this workshop is intended to become a recurrent one. Thus,
the organization (most relevant format and hottest topics) of this
workshop future occurrences will be defined by the organizers and
attendees, based on the main outcome of the workshop discussions.
TOPICS:
Topics of interest for ICOOOLPS include but are not limited to:
* implementation of fundamental OOL features:
o inheritance (object layout, late binding, subtype test...)
o genericity (parametric types)
o memory management
* runtime systems:
o compilers
o linkers
o virtual machines
* optimizations:
o static and dynamic analyses
o adaptive virtual machines
* resource constraints:
o real-time systems
o embedded systems (space, low power)...
* relevant choices and tradeoffs:
o constant time vs. non-constant time mechanisms
o separate compilation vs. global compilation
o dynamic loading vs. global linking
o dynamic checking vs. proof-carrying code
SUBMISSION AND ATTENDANCE:
ICOOOLPS attendance is limited to 30 people.
In order to have a solid basis on which the discussions will be based
and to keep them focussed, each prospective participant will be
required to submit either a short paper describing ongoing work or a
position paper describing an open issue, likely solutions, drawbacks
of current solutions or alternative solutions to well known problems.
Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 4 pages with
the LNCS style templates available at
http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html.
Papers must be submitted as an email containing the abstract in plain
text and the paper as a PDF attachment. This email must be sent by
April 1, 2006, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject "ICOOOLPS
submission".
Papers will be presented during the workshop, each presentation
lasting a few minutes, in order to set the stage for following
discussion(s). The workshop will last two half-days, to allow for at
least two discussion sessions to take place.
The ICOOOLPS workshop report will be included in the ECOOP Workshop
Reader, that should be published by Springer-Verlag. The latter may
also publish proceedings for ICOOOLPS as part of a selection of the
workshops.
