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.
