<p class=MsoNormal>The PEPM Symposium/Workshop series aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners working in the areas of program manipulation,
partial evaluation, and program generation. PEPM focuses on techniques, theory,
tools, and applications of analysis and manipulation of programs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The 2007 PEPM workshop will be based on a broad
interpretation of semantics-based program manipulation and continue last year's
successful effort to expand the scope of PEPM significantly beyond the
traditionally covered areas of partial evaluation and specialization and
include practical applications of program transformations such as refactoring
tools, and practical implementation techniques such as rule- based
transformation systems. In addition, the scope of PEPM covers manipulation and
transformations of program and system representations such as structural and
semantic models that occur in the context of model-driven development. In order
to reach out to practitioners, a separate category of tool demonstration papers
will be solicited.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Topics of interest for PEPM'07 include, but are not limited
to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> + Program and model manipulation techniques such as
transformations<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> driven by rules, patterns, or analyses, partial
evaluation,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> specialization, slicing, symbolic execution, refactoring,
aspect<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> weaving, decompilation, and obfuscation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> + Program analysis techniques that are used to drive
program/model<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> manipulation such as abstract interpretation, static
analysis,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> binding-time analysis, dynamic analysis, constraint
solving, and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> type systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> + Analysis and transformation for programs/models with
advanced<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> features such as objects, generics, ownership types,
aspects,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> reflection, XML type systems, component frameworks, and
middleware.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> + Techniques that treat programs/models as data objects
including<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> meta-programming, generative programming, staged
computation, and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> model-driven program generation and transformation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> + Application of the above techniques including
experimental studies,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> engineering needed for scalability, and benchmarking. Examples
of<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> application domains include legacy program understanding
and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> transformation, domain-specific language implementations,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> scientific computing, middleware frameworks and
infrastructure<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> needed for distributed and web-based applications, resource-limited<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> computation, and security.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We especially encourage papers that break new ground
including descriptions of how program/model manipulation tools can be
integrated into realistic software development processes, descriptions of
robust tools capable of effectively handling realistic applications, and new
areas of application such as rapidly evolving systems, distributed and
web-based programming including middleware manipulation, model-driven
development, and on-the-fly program adaptation driven by run-time or
statistical analysis. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Submission Categories and Guidelines<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Regular research papers must not exceed 10 pages in ACM
Proceedings style. Tool demonstration papers must not exceed 4 pages in ACM
Proceedings style, and authors will be expected to present a live demonstration
of the described tool at the workshop. Suggested topics, evaluation criteria,
and writing guidelines for both research tool demonstration papers will be made
available on the PEPM'07 web site. Papers should be submitted electronically
via the workshop web site. The workshop proceedings will be published in the
ACM Digital Library and selected papers will be invited for a journal special
issue dedicated to PEPM'07.<o:p></o:p></p>
