CALL FOR PAPERS
Reflection'99
The Second International Conference on
Meta-Level Architectures and Reflection
Saint-Malo, France
July 19--21, 1999
reflection99@emn.fr
OBJECTIVES
Over the last 15 years, Meta-Level Architectures and
Reflection have attracted the attention of researchers
throughout computer science. Reflective and meta-level
techniques have now matured to the point where they are
being used to address real-world problems in such areas
as: programming languages, operating systems, databases,
distributed computing, expert systems and web-computing.
Following Reflection'96 held in San Francisco, this
conference will provide an opportunity for researchers
with a broad range of interests in meta-level architectures
and reflective techniques to discuss recent developments
in this field. It will also provide an opportunity for
researchers to discuss their work with colleagues from
other parts of computing. The conference aims not only at
advances within the field of reflection and meta-level
architectures, but also seeks to bridge related
developments in other fields of computer science using
reflection as the binding theme. In addition to paper
presentations and invited talks, time will be reserved for
intensive discussions on topics ranging from conceptual
foundations to practical applications.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers will be accepted on topics including, but not
limited to, the following:
SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS
Reflective operating systems
Reflective middleware
Concurrent and distributed systems
Network management systems
Embedded systems
Fault-tolerant systems
Mobile computing
Database systems
Collaborative systems
Adaptive web-servers
AI and knowledge-based systems
Agents
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Reflective programming languages (OO, functional, parallel, distributed, etc.)
Implementation techniques (open compilers, specializers, analysis, etc.)
REFLECTIVE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
Metaobject protocols
Reflective programming methodologies and environments
Aspect-Oriented Programming
Adaptative software components
Metamodels (UML, CORBA, etc.)
Formal methods
Safety and security issues
FOUNDATIONAL
Conceptual and theoretical foundations of reflection
Reflective logics
Semantics of reflective languages
An original manuscript lpr-written in English, should be submitted no
later than February 1, 1999 to the program chair.
Electronic submissions of up to 20 pages (Postscript
format following the LNCS guidelines) to
reflection99@emn.fr are highly encouraged. An electronic
mail address should be included; confirmation and all further
correspondence with the program chair can be done electronically.
Papers will be reviewed by the program committee;
acceptance will be based on depth, quality, relevance, and
scope. Accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings, which will appear in the
series ``Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences'' (LNCS) from
Springer-Verlag.
LOCATION
Saint-Malo is located in Brittany, approximately 400 km
west of Paris, on the Channel. Known as the
corsair city, its area is truly wonderful, including
the famous Mont St-Michel abbey. For more information (in
French), see http://www.ville-saint-malo.fr/.
The congress center, le Palais du Grand Large, is located
on the sea front, 200 meters away from the historical
center.
