============================================================================ Call for Papers: MoreVMs'18 2nd Workshop on Modern Language Runtimes, and Ecosystems Co-located with <Programming>'18 April 9th, 2018, Nice, France https://2018.programming-conference.org/track/MoreVMs-2018 ============================================================================ The MoreVMs'18 workshop aims to bring together industrial and academic programmers to discuss the design, implementation, and usage of modern languages and runtimes. This includes aspects such as reuse of language runtimes, modular implementation, language design and compilation strategies. The workshop aims to enable a diverse discussion on how languages and runtimes are currently being utilized, and where they need to improve further. We welcome presentation proposals in the form of extended abstracts discussing experiences, work-in-progress, as well as future visions, from either an academic or industrial perspective. Relevant topics include, but are definitely not limited to, the following: - Extensible VM design (compiler- or interpreter-based VMs) - Reusable components (e.g. interpreters, garbage collectors, ...) - Static and dynamic compilation techniques - Techniques for targeting high-level languages such as JavaScript - Interoperability between languages - Tooling support (e.g. debugging, profiling, etc.) - Programming language development environments - Case studies of existing language implementation approaches - Language implementation challenges and trade-offs - Surveys and usage reports to understand usage in the wild - Ideas for more predictable performance - Ideas for how VMs could take advantage of new hardware features - Ideas for how we should build languages in the future Workshop Format and Submissions ------------------------------- Submissions should use the ACM Conference acmart Format with the ‘sigconf’ option with a font size of 10 point and the font family Times New Roman. All submissions should be in PDF format. If you use LaTeX or Word, please use the provided ACM acmart templates. Otherwise, please follow the ACM author instructions. https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template If you are formatting your paper using LaTeX, you will need to set the 10pt option in the \documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word, you may wish to use the provided Word template that supports this font size. Please include page numbers in your submission for review using the LaTeX command \settopmatter{printfolios=true} (see examples in template). Please also ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes are legible.
