CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPATION
Workshop on
MULTIPARADIGM PROGRAMMING WITH OO LANGUAGES (MPOOL 2008)
at the
EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (ECOOP 2008)
7 or 8 July 2008, Paphos, Cyprus
While OO has become ubiquitously employed for design, implementation, and even
conceptualization, many practitioners recognize the concomitant need for other
programming paradigms according to problem domain. We seek answers to the
question of how to address the need for other programming paradigms--or even
domain specific languages--in the general context of OO languages.
Can OO programming languages effectively support other programming paradigms or
the embedding of other languages? The answer seems to be affirmative, at least
for some paradigms. For example, significant progress has been made for the
case of functional programming in C++. Additionally, several efforts have been
made to integrate support for other paradigms as a front-end for OO languages
(the Pizza language, extending Java, is a prominent example). Libraries and
extensions for concurrency are also being developed for new and upcoming
multi-core and heterogeneous architectures.
This workshop seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers in this
developing field to `compare notes' on their work--describe existing,
developing, or proposed techniques, idioms, methodologies, language extensions,
or software for expressing non-OO paradigms in OO languages; or theoretical
work supporting or defining the same. High-level presentations of position are
welcome, and reports of work in progress, are welcome.
Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- non-OO programming with OO languages;
- merging functional/logic/OO/other programs (language crossbinding);
- non-OO programming at the meta level (e.g. template metaprogramming);
- techniques for language embeddings (e.g. multistage programming);
- module systems vs. object systems;
- OO design patterns and their relation to functional patterns;
- multiparadigm and multilingual programming in the .NET framework;
- type system relationships across languages;
- theoretical foundations of multiparadigm programming with OO languages;
- multiparadigm approaches to support emerging hardware architectures (e.g.
multi/many-core CPUs, GPGPUs, IBM Cell, etc).
The workshop will consist of short presentations with interspersed discussion
sessions, and longer general discussions of themes or topics derived from some
common element of subsets of presentations. We expect the majority of the
participants to give presentations.
Prospective participants may submit either presentation abstracts or full
papers. All accepted materials will be distributed at the workshop and also
made available at the MPOOL 2008 Web site. A synopsis of the workshop will
be published as a chapter of the Springer LNCS ECOOP 2008 Workshop Reader.
For authors of accepted presentations who require justification for travel
the organizers can provide official letters of invitation.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Prospective authors are invited to submit abstracts or full papers in PDF,
postscript, or Microsoft Word. Authors of accepted papers are responsible for
submitting the final version using the Springer LNCS LaTeX template to ensure
inclusion in the proceedings. Submission and email correspondence to
