CALL FOR PAPERS

Forth is a simple postfix programming system which prioritises
extensibility over language features. As such it can profitably
exploit ideas from every branch of computer science and electronic
engineering. Its applicability ranges over interactive programming
of small microcontrollers, powerful visual development environments,
the programming of distributed agents communicating via open
protocols, and system configuration using the IEEE Standard
"Open Boot" which is used to provide "plug and play" style
features on Power PC's, Sun Workstations and PowerMacs.

EuroForth welcomes articles on:

Forth applications and language extensions.

Open protocols and standards, including TCP/IP, HTTP, XML...

Virtual machine application and design.

Stack based architectures.

System configuration and Open Boot.

Other topics likely to be of interest to an extensible language
community.

SUBMISSIONS

Papers should normally be no more than 8 pages in length. Longer
papers should be submitted in precis with the full paper being
submitted to the Journal of Forth Application and Research.

Papers should be submitted as email attachments in postscript,
.pdf or .doc file formats and should be camera ready and without
headers of footers. The page format is A4 with a margin of 1" on
all sides.

Send your submissions to Peter Knaggs: pknaggs@...
