(Apologies for multiple postings of...) CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Computer Society 1998 International Conference on Computer Languages Loyola University Chicago, USA, 14-16 May, 1998 (http://www.math.luc.edu/iccl98) Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Languages, in cooperation with ACM Special Interest Group on Programming Languages. This is the sixth in a series of conferences devoted to all aspects of computer languages, serving to bring together people broadly interested in machine processable descriptions. The hallmarks of ICCL are diversity, openness to a wide range of linguistic research, and international representation. The focus is on new ideas in languages and language technology which are innovative or experimental in nature. Papers are sought that describe significant new theoretical or experimental results in the design, evaluation or implementation of programming/specification languages. Areas of particular interest include but are not limited to: * Implementation/optimization * Theory/semantics * Abstract interpretation/Flow Analysis * Partial evaluation * Parallel/distributed languages * Object-oriented languages * Functional/logic languages * Multiparadigm languages * Real-time/fault-tolerant languages * Requirements/design/specification languages * Internet programming languages * Domain-specific languages Papers should be at most 20 double-spaced pages in length, should have an abstract of approximately 250 words, and a separate cover page indicating the title, authors, and a list of keywords. Papers will be judged on the basis of their relevance, significance, originality, correctness, and clarity. Accepted papers will appear in a full proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, for which authors will be expected to sign a copyright release form. Papers may be submitted electronically by sending an e-mail containing a platform-independent postscript file (which can be printed on A4 and/or on 8.5"x11" paper) to the address iccl98@csc.ncsu.edu, or by sending 5 copies of papers to Purush Iyer, program committee co-chair, at the address below. Submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter that includes a return mailing address, telephone number and email address. The papers are due by OCT 1, 1997. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by JAN 20, 1998. Camera ready versions of accepted papers will be due FEB 15, 1998. On the day prior to the Conference, a workshop on internet programming languages is being planned by Henri Bal (bal@cs.vu.nl) and Boumediene Belkhouche (bb@eecs.tulane.edu); details for this and other pre-Conference activities will be publicized in a separate announcement and are also available at http://www.math.luc.edu/iccl98.
