I am happy to inform you that your paper has been accepted for presentation at the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Intermediate Representations (IR '95). Please confirm receipt of this message. I have attached the reviewers' comments, which I hope you will find helpful in revising your paper. Instructions for producing the camera-ready copy, and for preparing a talk for the workshop, appear below. Much of this information, plus the preliminary technical program and registration information, is available via the World Wide Web at URL http://www.research.microsoft.com/research/analysts/mernst/ir95.html or by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/user/petel/popl95/ If you (or your co-authors or institution) have a WWW home page, let me know and I will add links to them from the IR '95 page. I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco in January for the workshop and POPL. Thank you for submitting to IR '95, and please accept our congratulations on your paper's acceptance. Sincerely, Michael Ernst Conference chair, IR '95 CAMERA-READY COPY FOR THE WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS You must submit camera-ready hardcopy, and a signed ACM copyright form, by January 9, 1995. You may submit portable PostScript (formatted for printing on U.S. lettersize paper) of your paper instead, but the signed copyright form must be received by January 9. If you miss the deadline, your paper may not be included in the workshop. Send your camera-ready copy to: Michael Ernst Microsoft Research 1 Microsoft Way, 9S/1054 Redmond, WA 98052 USA telephone: +1 206 936 2272 email: ir95@research.microsoft.com The proceedings format is 9 to 11 point text on U.S. lettersize pages (8.5 by 11 inches) with side and top margins of .75 inch and bottom margin of 1.25 inch, or text area with height 9 inches and width 7 inches. Two-column papers should have a gutter width of 1/3 inch. Pages should be unnumbered, and the first page should contain the ACM copyright notice. Authors using LaTeX can use the acmconf.sty style file or acmconf.cls document class file, which are available, along with the ACM copyright form, via anonymous ftp or WWW (see above). The base page limit is 12 pages. Authors may buy additional pages up to 15 for $100/page. [No charge for the first 12 pages, no possibility for more than 15.] Camera-ready copy should be produced on a reasonably high-quality (300 dpi or better) printer, typically from .dvi, .ps, or similar source. Facsimile is not acceptable for final camera-ready copy. Proceedings will be distributed at the workshop. It is also possible that they will be reissued shortly after the workshop. If that happens, authors will have a chance to quickly revise their papers after the workshop to account for feedback received there. THE WORKSHOP PRESENTATION The workshop will be held on Sunday, January 22, 1995, in San Francisco. At the workshop, you will be allotted 20 minutes to present your work. There will be a short period for questions following your presentation, and after each group of papers, there will be time for group discussion on any of the papers or the topics common to them. Since presentations must be brief, we strongly recommend that you carefully prepare your presentation so as to make most effective use of the time. A clear, compelling, and complete summary of your paper will be more effective than a technically detailed talk that can be only half-completed in the time allowed! Concentrate on what is unique or unexpected about your research, and what lessons others can take away from it. You may assume that your audience has an interest in, and some experience with, intermediate representations, but do not pitch your talk only at those already familiar with your topic; it should be comprehensible at some level to everybody in the audience. For these reasons, it is not unusual for the format of the presented talk to differ form that of the paper. The talk should compel the interested listener to read the paper. The language for this conference is English, and it is recommended that the speaker for your paper practice sufficiently to produce an audible, clear talk. Two overhead projectors will be available; any other audio/visual equipment needs must be made clear to the conference chair (Michael Ernst) a month before the conference.
