Motivation and ObjectivesModularization Mechanisms such as mix-ins, units, open classes, hyper-slices, adaptive methods, roles, composition filters, pointcut-advice, and intertype declarations have shown significant potential. They provide software engineers with new capabilities to modularize concerns that were hard to separate previously. Support for these modularization mechanisms have so far been largely limited to high-level languages and their compilers. Recent research results have shown that deeper support, e.g. in virtual machines and intermediate languages, have far-reaching impacts. In particular, more optimization opportunities open up. Development processes such as incremental compilation, debugging, etc are radically simplified. Moreover, dynamic support becomes possible without compromising on efficiency. To that end, the objective of this workshop, first in the series, is to generate interest in this topic, to frame and refine research problem formulations, and to identify and encourage the pursuit of promising opportunities and approaches. We invite novel insights from within the programming language, compilers, virtual machine community and elsewhere. Topics of InterestTopics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Paper CategoriesIn these key areas, we invite high-quality papers in the following two categories.
Review ProcessThe 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. Important Dates
Paper SubmissionPapers 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 The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review for another workshop, conference or journal.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 and must not exceed the page limit of the category in which it is classified by authors (including all text, figures, references and appendices). Submissions which do not conform to this will be rejected without reviews. Submission website for VMIL 2007 is available at: http://continue.cs.brown.edu/servlets/vmil07/continue.ss Program Committee
