Types in Compilation Workshop Advance Program




	   --- ACM SIGPLAN Workshop Advance Program ---

		  Types in Compilation (TIC97)

		Held in conjunction with ICFP97
		   Amsterdam, The Netherlands
			 June 8, 1997

Workshop Description

Recent advances in type theory have led to a number of new
applications of types during the compilation process. Type 
information has been found to be useful for compiler verification,
for program analysis and transformation, for optimizing dynamic
method dispatch in object-oriented languages, for code generation, 
for debugging of the compiler and a number of other applications. 
Several state-of-the-art compilers maintain an explicitly-typed
representation of the source program through the later stages of
compilation. Some compilers emit type information into the object
file to facilitate later verification of the object code.

The workshop on Types in Compilation is a one day meeting that will 
cover both theoretical aspects and practical applications of type
systems in compilation.
