Implementation, Compilation, Optimization of Object-Oriented Languages, Programs and Systems: Report on the 3rd Workshop ICOOOLPS at ECOOP 2008

摘要

ICOOOLPS'2008 was the third edition of the ICOOOLPS workshop at ECOOP. ICOOOLPS intends to bring researchers and practitioners both from academia and industry together, with a spirit of openness, to try and identify and begin to address the numerous and very varied issues of optimization. After two very successful editions, this third put a stronger emphasis on exchanges and discussions amongst the participants, progressing on the bases set previous years in Nantes and Berlin. The workshop attendance was relatively successful: There was about 20 attendees which was good considering the remote location and that the general attendance of ECOOP was much lower than expected. Some of the discussions (e.g., much of the afternoon sessions) were so successful that they would required even more time than we were able to dedicate to them. That is one area we plan to further improve yet again for the next edition.
