                   Montreal, Canada, 17 September 2000

         The workshop forms part of PLI 2000, which consists

       NOTE: [The Web page now contains instructions for submission.]

============================================================================

Background and Theme:
---------------------

   Over the past few years, Scheme and its implementations have made
   tremendous progress in support of generative programming, shell
   scripting, COMponent support and distributed programming, graphics
   and GUI support, OO programming, and various other aspects of
   engineering real-world software. We are calling on implementors and
   users of Scheme systems to share their ideas at a workshop during
   PLI 2000 in Montreal.

   The organizers goal is to attract presentations on a broad spectrum
   of topics:

    * applications

Four lectureships in Nottingham

Dear all,

We are currently advertising four new lectureships in Nottingham.  
There are no particular research areas specified for these positions,
but applications from type systems researchers would be most welcome.

Graham Hutton

----------------------------------------------------------------------

		     THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM

	School of Computer Science and Information Technology

			  Four lectureships

Applications are  invited for the  above posts in a  rapidly expanding
School   based   at   one   of   the   UK's   strongest   research-led
universities. The School was graded  4 in the 1996 Research Assessment
Exercise and is  now building up its research  strengths for a further
improvement in  grade.  These posts are  part of a  steady increase in
the  size of the  School accompanied  by a  move to  new purpose-built
accommodation  in September 1999.  Although the  successful candidates
will have the opportunity of  teaching within their specialist area at
undergraduate and postgraduate level, there will also be a requirement
to teach  general computer science and  information technology modules
outside of any particular specialisation.

Candidates should already  have a PhD in computer  science, or another
closely related discipline, together  with strong evidence of existing

PhD grant at INRIA Sophia Antipolis

See the second part of this message for a translation in English.

  Bourse de doctorat à l'INRIA Sophia Antipolis
                Projet Lemme

le projet Lemme de l'INRIA Sophia Antipolis propose une bourse de
doctorat centrée sur les méthodes formelles basées sur Coq et sur la
description de langages de programmation adaptés aux cartes à puces.
Cette thèse s'intègrera dans le cadre d'une collaboration avec GemPlus,
entreprise à la pointe du développement des cartes à puces, Les
techniques étudiées devront permettre de développer des vérificateurs
de byte-code formellement certifiés pour des langages approximant le
langage JavaCard.  L'objectif à terme est de fournir un vérificateur
de byte-code entièrement prouvé correct pour le langage JavaCard tel
qu'il est défini par JavaSun.

L'étudiant travaillant avec cette bourse doctorale aura l'occasion
d'approfondir ses compétences dans un domaine à l'intersection des
domaines théoriques les plus ambitieux de la logique et de
l'informatique fondamentale et des champs d'applications les plus
dynamiques de l'évolution récente des technologies de l'information et 
de la communication (authentification, sécurité sur les réseaux,
commerce électronique...).

Les candidats intéressés devront envoyer un curriculum vitae et une
lettre de motivation à Yves Bertot (Yves.Bertot@...).

Christopher Strachey

The original reference to parametric and ad-hoc polymorphism is finally
published: Christopher Strachey's "Fundamental concepts in programming
languages" is available online at
	http://www.wkap.nl/journals/lasc
(Click on "Free Online Sample Copy".)

At the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Christopher Strachey's passing
away, the journal Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation is dedicating to
his memory a special issue, containing "Fundamental concepts" (with a
foreword by Peter Mosses), the original monograph on continuations (with
a foreword by Christopher Wadsworth), and a collection of tributes by Rod
Burstall, R. Kent Dybvig, Mike Gordon, David Hartley, Tony Hoare, Michael
Jackson (the computer scientist), Peter Landin, Robert Milne, Roger
Penrose, Martin Richards, David Schmidt, Dana Scott, Bob Tennent, and Dan
Ghica.

For the next coming weeks, the special issue is freely available online.
(If your institution subscribes to HOSC online, then the issue is
permanently available by clicking on "Browse through the Table of
Contents" and then on "Volume 13, Issue 1/2, April 2000".)
