SAC '96
=======

Over the past ten years, the ACM Symposium on  Applied  Computing has become a
primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers  from
around the world to interact and present their work.  SAC '96 is sponsored  by
the ACM Special Interest Groups SIGAda, SIGAPP, SIGBIO,  SIGCUE,  and  SIGICE.
Authors are invited to contribute original papers in all areas of experimental
computing and application development for the technical sessions.

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES TRACK
===========================

A special track on programming languages will be held at SAC '96.  It will  be
a  forum  for engineers, researchers and practitioners throughout the world to
share  technical  ideas  and  experiences  relating  to   implementation   and
application  of  programming  languages. Original papers and tutorial (half or
full day) and panel proposals are invited in all areas of programming language
technology.  Major  topics  of  interest  include  but  are not limited to the
following:

AI Languages                            Automatic Parallelization
Automatic Programming                   Compiling Techniques
Database Programming Languages          Formal Semantics
Functional Programming                  Logic Programming
Meta and Higher-order Programming       Object-Oriented Programming
Programming Languages for               Specification Languages
     Parallel/Distributed Execution


GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
=========================

Original papers from the above-mentioned areas will be  considered.  This  in-
cludes three categories of submissions:  1) original and unpublished research;
2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts,  sciences,  engi-
neering, business, government, education  and  industry;  and  3)  reports  of
successful technology  transfer to new problem domains.  Each category of sub-
missions will be  reviewed  by  peer  groups  appropriate  to  that  category.
Accepted papers in all categories will be  published in the symposium proceed-
ings.  Expanded versions of selected papers  from  all categories will be con-
sidered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP quarterly Applied  Computing  Review
or one of the other participating SIGs' publications.

Submission guidelines must be strictly followed:

*   Submit six (6) copies of original manuscripts to the following SAC  '96
    Programming Languages Track Co-Chair.
