egcs at FREENIX track of 1999 Usenix conference

[Nathan Torkington <gnat at frii dot com>]

Hi,

I'm on the program committee for the FREENIX track of the 1999 Usenix
annual technical conference.  We're shaking the bushes for papers to
be given at next year's conference, and would like to see a paper (or
papers) on egcs.

It's a technical conference, and papers should reflect this.  The
ideal paper would be from an egcs developer and contain low-level
hardcore technical information about a specific set of optimizations
or other improvements.  For instance, you might describe the alias
analysis optimization in loving detail, show situations where it leads
to better generated code, and give some performance figures.  The
exact topic is up to you--that's just something to give you an idea of
what we're looking for.

The conference is June 6-11 1999 at Monterey, California.  The
deadline for extended abstracts or (preferably) full papers is
December 2, 1999.  We will notify authors whether their papers where
selected or not on January 20, 1999.  We offer extensive support for
authors, both from the FREENIX panel and within the Usenix community.
We want you to make the best paper possible, and will do all we can to
help.

If you're interested in presenting a paper, please let me know (email
Nathan Torkington <gnat@frii.com>).  Feel free to contact me if you
have any other questions.

Thanks,

Nat
