[rvm-research] CFP for VMIL'13 (part of SPLASH'13): Deadline extended to Aug. 25th

Friends,

We extended the deadline for submissions to the 7th workshop on
Virtual Machines and Intermediate Languages (VMIL’13), to be held
as part of SPLASH 2013 in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 28,
2013.

Submissions can be made through easychair and this short link:

until Aug. 25th.

Please pass this on to students, friends and colleagues who might
be interested.

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

The VMIL workshop is a forum for research in virtual machines and
intermediate languages. It is dedicated to identifying programming
mechanisms and constructs that are currently realized as code
transformations or implemented in libraries but should rather be
supported at the VM level. Candidates for such mechanisms and
constructs include modularity mechanisms, concurrency mechanisms,
etc. Topics of interest include the investigation of which such
mechanisms are worthwhile candidates for integration with the
run-time environment, how said mechanisms can be elegantly (and
reusably) expressed at the intermediate language level (e.g., in
bytecode), how their implementations can be optimized, and how
virtual machine architectures might be shaped to facilitate such
implementation efforts. We especially welcome transformative ideas
for virtual machines, including efficient support for
game-changing IL mechanisms.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Compilation-based and interpreter-based virtual machine
designs with better support for these modularization mechanisms

- Intermediate language constructs that better support these
modularization mechanisms

- Compilation techniques from high-level languages to enhanced
intermediate languages

- Optimization strategies for reduction of runtime overhead due
to either compilation or interpretation

- Improved techniques for fast evaluation of pointcuts and other
predicates

- Use cases for deeper support in the virtual machines and
intermediate languages

- Advanced caching and memory management schemes in support of
the mechanisms

Paper Categories

In these key areas, we invite high-quality papers in the following
two categories.

Research and experience papers: These submissions should
describe work that advances the current state of the art in support
of advanced separation of concerns techniques in virtual machines
and intermediate languages. Experience papers that are of broader
interest and describe insights gained from practical applications.
The page limit for these submissions is 10 pages.

Position papers: These submissions present and defend the
author's position on a topic related to the broader area of the
workshop. The page limit for these submissions is 6 pages.

Review Process

The program committee will evaluate each paper based on its
relevance, significance, clarity and originality. Each submission
will be reviewed by at least three PC members.

Paper Submission

Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must
be unpublished and must not be under review for another workshop,
conference or journal. Submissions must conform to ACM SIGPLAN
format, use 10 pt font, include the ACM general terms and categories
on the first page, and must not exceed the page limit of the
category in which it is classified by the authors (including all
text, figures, references and appendices). Submissions which do not
conform to this will be rejected without reviews.
