==================================================================<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Topics of Interest<br>
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
</p>
<ul style="direction: ltr;">
<li style="direction: ltr;">Compilation-based and
interpreter-based virtual machine designs with better
support for these modularization mechanisms</li>
<li style="direction: ltr;">Intermediate language constructs
that better support these modularization mechanisms</li>
<li style="direction: ltr;">Compilation techniques from
high-level languages to enhanced intermediate languages</li>
<li style="direction: ltr;">Optimization strategies for
reduction of runtime overhead due to either compilation or
interpretation</li>
<li style="direction: ltr;">Improved techniques for fast
evaluation of pointcuts and other predicates</li>
<li style="direction: ltr;">Use cases for deeper support in
the virtual machines and intermediate languages</li>
<li style="direction: ltr;">Advanced caching and memory
management schemes in support of the mechanisms</li>
</ul>
<br>
<b>Paper Categories</b><br>
In these key areas, we invite high-quality papers in the
following two categories.<br>
<br>
<b>Research and experience papers:</b> 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.<br>
<br>
<b><br>
</b><b>Position papers:</b> 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.<br>
<br>
<b>Review Process</b><br>
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.<br>
<b><br>
</b><b>Paper Submission</b><br>
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.<br>
