ABSTRACT

The VMIL workshop is a forum for research in virtual machines (VM) and intermediate languages (IL). It is dedicated to identifying programming mechanisms and constructs that are currently realized as code transformations or implemented in libraries but should rather be supported at the VM level. Candidates for such mechanisms and constructs include modularity mechanisms (aspects, context-dependent layers), concurrency (threads and locking, actors, software transactional memory), transactions, etc. Topics of interest include the investigation of which such mechanisms are worthwhile candidates for integration with the VM, how said mechanisms can be elegantly (and reusably) expressed at the IL level (e.g., in bytecode), how their implementations can be optimized, and how VM architectures might be shaped to facilitate such implementation efforts.
