Dear Anton
Sorry I missed the deadline for abstracts. If it is still possible, I
would like to submit the following.
Regards
Bill
Title: A User's Introduction to the Reversible Virtual Machine.
Abstract: The "Reversible Virtual Machine" (RVM) is a version of Forth
extended to simulate logical reversibility and designed to act as a
target language for compilation. In this paper we present the RVM
programming environment and some example Forth programs.
Title: Implementation Aspects of RVM.
Authors Bill Stoddart and Frank Zeyda
Abstract: RVM is a "native code" Forth extended to simulate logical
reversibility and designed to act as a target language for compilation.
In this paper we describe the implementation of RVM for an i386 Linux
platform. We discuss the virtual machine's interaction with its Unix
environment, the Forth/C interface, meta-compilation to gnu assembler
code, code timing and optimisation, local variables with nested scopes,
the implementation of sets, garbage collection and memory leak
protection.
Title: "Popit": Implementing a Forth like language in C and Scheme as
student project topics for the Computer Science Degree course at the
University of Teesside.
Authors: Robert Lynas, Bill Stoddart, Frank Zeyda.
Abstract: As programming environments and operating systems grow in
complexity, students of Computer Science find it increasingly difficult
to gain a wholistic understanding of the computer systems they study.
"Popit" is a Forth like language designed to be implemented by students
in order to expose them to a complete, though simple, programming system
and virtual machine. The Popit implementation exercise is used in a
group project module in the second year of the course, where it is
implemented in C. In the fourth year of the course it is offered as an
individual project to be implemented in Scheme.
Anton,
sorry, I missed the
September 11th Deadline for abstracts (business/industrial stream)
If it's still possible, I'd like to submit the following paper:
Title:
"Want", a Flash Token-Threaded Virtual-Machine and Operating-System for DSPs
Author: Christophe Lavarenne (cl@..., UBIC S.A. - http://www.ubic.fr)
Abstract:
More and more low-cost applications (telecommunications, automotive, metering,
alarm systems...) embed, beside a microcontroler, a Digital-Signal-Processor
(DSP) to cope with data rates and processing under hard real-time constraints.
For such applications, the UBIC company has developed "WantOS", a multitasking
realtime operating system with interrupt-driven peripheral drivers, integrated
into "WantVM", a compact and efficient token-threaded virtual-machine running,
directly out of flash, several megabytecodes per second, programmable in either
"WantC" with a full-featured graphical user interface, or more interactively
in "WantForth". This paper presents this software architecture and the savings
it has allowed, compared to usual designs, in the hardware architecture and in
the design and life cycles of tens of thousands of remote alarm systems, and
of new realtime video-processing projects.
Best regards,
CL

Excellent place and date.
I hope this year I'll find enough time to prepare an article,
probably about "Forth and Digital Signal Processors".
Is there anybody around playing with both Forth and Esperanto?

Dear Forthians,
eventually I received a possible date for our next euro4th conference in
Dagstuhl. The weekend 19.- 22. Nov. 2004.
Everybody, please respond by letting me know how you feel about this
date. The only alternative for Dagstuhl would then be the autumn of 2005
and I think this would be too late.
For our American friends: Yes, I know, this is awfully close to
thanksgiving. But some turkeys might appreciate it, right? (Actually,
this might be the reason why this "slot" is still open.)

Pleased to help where I can.
The euroforth@yahoogroups.com forum is for organising the annual euroForth conference, so we ought to move this discussion to a better place. I suggest the newsgroup comp.lang.forth would be best.
I'll send you a private message with some information about your problem.
Hosted by the Technical University of 'Vienna, the conference began with lunch in the Restaurant Habigoff, a former hat shop which has retained its 19th C interior. As well as presentations and workshops we enjoyed walks in the town centre (just adjacent to the University), in the Vienna Woods, and in the Prater, with its famous beer garden, spectacular funfare and wooded paths. Conference dinner was at the Vienna Town Hall.
There were eight presentations and two workshops.
"Primitive Sequences in General Purpose Forth Programs" by David Gregg and John Waldren continued the work from 17th EuroForth on exploration of threaded code optimisation in g-forth via "super instructions" A number of applications have been analysed to check for common instruction sequences and the effects of optimising the most common seqences from each application has been tested on the others. Both static and dynamic analysis has been investigated, with the clear result that static analysis provides the best overall performance increase, whilst dynamic analysis, which gives greater weight to frequently used sequences (e.g. inner loops) can be very effective when applied back on the application which provided the analysis.
"The Evolution of Vmgen" presented by Anton Ertl, described a virtual machine generation tool which will create C code definitions for virtual machine implementation from operation descriptions. As the tool has evolved new features allow more user configuration, the ability to describe effects on multiple stacks, handling of "super instructions", and abstraction away from the mechanics of the threaded code implementation, e.g for describing the embedding of literal values.
Jaanus Poial presented a framework for static type checking, refining the stack effect calculus he introduced in the early 1990's. If a, b, c, d are stack argument lists we start with some rules for combining type signatures such as:
( a -- b c ) ( c -- d ) = ( a -- b d )
meaning that if an operation which removes argiments a and leaves b c is followed by one which removes c and leaves d, the overall effect is to take a and leave b and d. New ideas included a more general interpretation for the effects of opeations that operate on any type (wildcards) e.g. dup swap, with rules formulated to allow for inheritence and polymorphism.
Frank Zeyda presented a general implementation of sets in Forth in which sets are held as ordered arrays. Sets of integers or strings are ordered in the obvious ways. Sets of sets are ordered first by size, then by comparing successive elements. Sets of pairs are ordered by their first elements. For data items other than integers a reference semantics is used such that a set is a list of references to data items on the heap.
Frederico de Ceballos presented a tiny UDP stack in Forth for the CS8900 Ethernet Controller, allowing simple connectivity between micro-controllers. In a second talk he described an alternative operating system for the PC and embedded targets: QNX Nuetrino is a real time operating system with a relatively small microkernal architecture which promises simple device driver and interrupt programming as well as the ability to deploy applications on single processors or across clusters of processor without special coding. Slightly dissappointed by the fact the colorforth did not run on his computer, Frederico has been looking for a more appropriate environment for his Forth applications than that provided by Linux or Windows. Further developments awaited...
I presented a paper on mechanisms for reversible computation in the context of native compiled Forth for the Pentium. Two new features are added to Forth called choice and guard. A choice construct has the form <CHOICE A [] B ... CHOICE> . This makes a provisional choice between A,B... The guard construct, now written as -->, takes a flag from the stack. If true execution continues ahead, if false execution reverses back to the most recent choice which has a still unexplored alternative. The presentation was illustrated with a Knight's Tour case study.
Anton Ertl gave a talk demonstrating the implementation of super instructions in GForth. Instruction sequences are recognised below the level of comma (compilation). lit 5 + is converted to lit+ 5. GForths built in disassembler was used to demonstrate the code generated, including cases where attemps at optimisation are frustrated by the compiler "register spilling".
We had a short workshop on parsing set expressions with demo by Daniel Ciesinger, and an extended wokshop on applying static typing.
Many thanks to Anton Ertl for organising a wonderful conference and being a perfect host.
Nick Nelson and Micro-Ross have offered to organise the 19th EuroForth at Ross on Wye, Hereforshire, UK. With possible visits to laundries and car plants to see Forth in serious action! Many thanks to them and see you there.
Dear all,
Can somebodey tell me where I can find information about the internal forth
structure and how forth is implemented on diverse processor. Are litterature
available on this? Are litteratur available on the implementation of forth
in data storage?
thanks for help

BTW, we are working hard at TU Wien, but I still don't think that it
will be very busy on a week-end during the summer vacations, so don't
be disappointed if there is a ghost-house atmosphere (however, Klaus
probably would like that).

20 rooms were reserved at Erzherzog Rainer, 10 each at the other
hotels, so at Erzherzog Rainer you may meet more of the EuroForth
people; but 10 participants should also be enough for a nice chat at
breakfast.

I would have to agree with Klaus, in that it is not just the conference
papers but the ability to talk with others of a similar vent which gives
this conference a special appeal. Like Klaus, I am having a problem
deciding which hotel to book with. Anyone have any suggestions...

Exception: If more than 70 seats are needed, we will have to split

They are within 5 minutes walking distance of each other and of the
meeting place.

Lunch and dinner will be together.

Dear Forthiacs, dear Anton,
looking at this years invitation I found that we will be dispersed
across different hotels. It is not obvious how far away they are from
each other and how far away they are from the meeting place.
Also: Will we have lunch and dinner together or is this also
"everybodies own business"?
Frankly, I do not feel compelled to come to Vienna. I value the Forth
community, living together for a prolonged week-end. This is fun. But
when I want to be in Vienna as a tourist, I would not like to interrupt
my tourismdom by listening to technical papers in a busy University.
Anybody out there to convince me why I should come?
:-(
