PADO-II call for papers

			     Call for Papers

		 Symposium on Programs as Data Objects (PADO-II)
			 Aarhus, Denmark, May 21-23, 2001
		       http://www.brics.dk/~pado2

PADO-II will bring together researchers working in the areas of
programming and programming languages.  The symposium focuses on
techniques and supporting theory for treating programs as data objects.
Technical topics include, but are not limited to:

   * Program manipulation: program specialization, type specialization,
     partial evaluation, normalization, reflection, rewriting, run-time
     code generation, self-application.

   * Program analysis: abstract interpretation, constraints, type
     inference, binding-time analysis.

   * Theoretical issues in representing and classifying programs:
     semantics, algorithmics, logics.

   * Applications: interpretation, compilation, compiler generation,
     verification, certification, meta-programming, instrumentation,
     incremental computation, staging, prototyping, debugging.

Original results that bear on these and related topics are solicited.
Prospective authors should submit papers directly to pado2@... to
arrive no later than November 10, 2000.  Authors concerned about the
appropriateness of a topic are encouraged to consult with the program
chairs prior to submission.

Call for Papers (Continuations Workshop CW'01)

       The Third ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Continuations (CW'01)
                    London, England, Jan. 16, 2001
      Collocated with POPL '01 (Jan. 17, 2001 -- Jan. 19, 2001)

                http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~sabry/cw01/

The notion of continuations is ubiquitous in many different areas of
computer science, including category theory, compilers, logic,
operating systems, programming, and semantics.

Following on the 1992 and 1997 ACM SIGPLAN Workshops on Continuations
(http://www.brics.dk/~cw97/), we are organizing a new workshop to
provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of new results and
work in progress aimed at a better understanding of the nature of
continuations, the relation of continuations to other areas of logic
and computer science, and exciting new applications of continuations
in contexts such as mobile threads, simulation, distributed systems,
graphical user interfaces, and education.

Participants wishing to give short formal presentations are asked to
send a short abstract (less than four pages) to
 sabry@...
Abstracts will be judged on originality, significance, correctness,
and clarity. Abstracts must describe work unpublished in refereed
venues, and must not submitted for publication elsewhere (i.e., either
a conference or a journal)

An informal proceedings will be distributed at the workshop and will
be available subsequently as an Indiana University technical report.
As for CW'92 and CW'97

Postdoc and PhD Student Position Announcement


The following position announcement might be of interest to readers of
the list. I have referred to "programming language design and
implementation" as a desired area of expertise, seeing type systems as
a cornerstone of this area. -- Martin Odersky

			    EPFL Lausanne
		      Programming Methods Group
			 Prof. Martin Odersky

For the Project "Practical Implementations of Functional Nets", funded
in part by the Swiss National Science Foundation, we are looking for

 * Postdoctoral researcher (1 or 2 year term),
 * PhD student (fully funded).

The project explores novel implementation techniques for programming
languages which lie in the intersection of the functional,
object-oriented, and concurrent language families. The positions offer
exciting opportunities for research in a young but rapidly growing
group.

Postdoctoral applicants should have a strong background in  
at least two of the following areas:   

    - programming language design and implementation,
    - functional programming,
    - object-oriented programming,
    - concurrent and distributed systems.

BACKGROUND
==========
The symposium is a forum for research on all issues concerning
functional programming and logic programming.  In particular, it wants
to stimulate the cross-fertilization as well as integration of the two
paradigms.  The symposium takes place about every 1.5 years in Japan.
Previous FLOPS meetings were held in Fuji Susuno (1995), Shonan Village
(1996), Kyoto(1998), and Tsukuba (1999).

Professorship in Software Engineering

Our sister department, the dept of Computer Engineering is announcing
a chair in Software Engineering. This chair is suitable for people
in the types community who are interested in (and have worked on) more
practical application of specification and verification of software.

>From their description:

   "The professorship will deal with methods and techniques 
    for the development of software, and also in industrial settings. 
    This includes theories and applied methods for specification, 
    verification and validation of functional characteristics 
    along with issues pertaining to quality, dependability, 
    security and safety. 
    Issues related to production, maintenance and management of 
    software systems are also of interest." 

The full description can be found from their homepage

http://www.ce.chalmers.se/MenyE/

Sincerely,

Bengt Nordstrom

- To investigate applications of the new type systems for compiler
technology.  To explore applications to non-functional programming,
e.g., OOP.
