Authors are invited to submit papers on all aspects of programming language
translation. The emphasis of the symposium is on pragmatic techniques and
practical experience. Topics of interest include:

o solutions to specific language translation problems;
o new techniques for compiling specific language families;
o techniques for retargetable and rehostable compilers;
o code optimization techniques and their practical effect;
o compiler generation tools;
o measuring and achieving compile time or execution time efficiency;
o compiler testing;
o compiler aspects of programming environments;
o compilation for parallel environments;
o intermediate language and syntax tables;
o fast compilation techniques and semantics-based compilation.

Please send nine (9) copies of an extended summary to the program chairman:
Stuart I. Feldman (201) 829-4305
Bell Communications Research
435 South Street - Room 2D-396
Morristown, N. J. 07960 USA

Summaries should explain what is new and interesting about the work. Be
specific about what has actually been accomplished. The committee will
consider the appropriateness, clarity, originality, explained relationship
to previous work, practicality, significance and overall quality of each
summary. The summary should be 8 to 12 pages, typed double space or typeset
10pt on 16pt. Persons submitting papers from countries in which access to
copying machines is difficult may submit a single copy of the summary.

December 1, 1985: Summaries must be received by the program chairman.
January 27, 1986: Notification of acceptance will be mailed to authors.
April 1, 1986: The accepted papers must be received in camera-ready
form by the program chairman.

Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign an ACM copyright release
form. Proceedings will be distributed at the symposium and will
subsequently be available for purchase from ACM.

COMPILER DEMONSTRATIONS AND TUTORIALS ON COMPILATION
TECHNIQUES ARE PLANNED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONFERENCE.
