     Workshop in Berlin, Germany:           July 30, 2007.


OVERVIEW


Object-oriented languages are pervasive and play a significant role in
computer science and engineering life and sometime appear as
ubiquitous and completely mature.
However, despite a large number of works, there is still a clear
need for solutions for efficient implementation and compilation of OO
languages in various application domains ranging from embedded and
real-time systems to  desktop systems.

The ICOOOLPS workshop thus aims to address this crucial issue of
optimization in OO languages, programs and systems.
It intends to do so by bringing together researchers and
practitioners working in the field of object-oriented languages
implementation and optimization.
Its main goals are identifying fundamental bases and key current issues
pertaining to the  efficient implementation, compilation and
optimization of OO languages, and outlining future challenges and
research directions.


An expected output of this workshop is a synthesis paper identifying
fundamental bases and key current issues pertaining to the
efficient implementation and compilation of OO languages, in order to
spread them further amongst the various computing systems.
It is also intended to extend this synthesis to encompass future
challenges and research directions in the field of OO languages
implementation and optimization.

Finally, this workshop was intended to become a recurrent one.
The first edition in 2006 in Nantes was a success and enables us to
capitalize on experience and attendee feedback during this second
edition, which should go on with some of last year's discussion
threads (annotations) and with new ones from this year's attendees.


TOPICS

Topics of interest for ICOOOLPS include but are not limited to:

      * implementation of fundamental OOL features:
            o inheritance (object layout, late binding, subtype test...)
            o genericity (parametric types)
            o memory management
      * runtime systems:
            o compilers
            o linkers
            o virtual machines
      * optimizations:
            o static and dynamic analyses
            o adaptive virtual machines
      * resource constraints:
            o real-time systems
            o embedded systems (space, low power)...
      * relevant choices and tradeoffs:
            o constant time vs. non-constant time mechanisms
            o separate compilation vs. global compilation
            o dynamic loading vs. global linking
            o dynamic checking vs. proof-carrying code
            o annotations vs. no annotations


SUBMISSION AND ATTENDANCE

ICOOOLPS attendance is limited to 30 people, on a first-come
first-served basis, with highest priority to authors presenting
their paper.

The workshop will last two consecutive half-days, to allow for at
least two discussion sessions to take place.

All attendants will be given 1 (one) minute to informally introduce
themselves and their work.

Nonetheless, in order to have a solid basis on which the discussions
will be based and to keep them focussed, we strongly suggest that each
prospective participant submits either a short paper describing
ongoing work or a position paper describing an open issue, likely
solutions, drawbacks of current solutions or alternative solutions to
well known problems.
Papers should range from 2 pages to a grand maximum of 8 pages (4 pages
recommended).
The precise submission guidelines are provided on the workshop web
site (http://icooolps.loria.fr).

Selected papers will be presented during the workshop, each
presentation lasting 5 to 10 minutes, in order to set the stage for
following discussions.
