CALL FOR PAPERS
7th INTERNATIONAL REXX SYMPOSIUM
13-15 May 1996
Sponsored by the Rexx Language Association
RECENT Deadline for submission of abstracts has been extended to
UPDATES: 8 March 1996. If you expect your submission to be near
the deadline, an email indicating "intent to submit" would
help the committee in planning.
The subject of Mike Cowlishaw's talk at the Symposium will be
NetRexx -- a new language for the Internet. NetRexx is a dialect of
Rexx that compiles to Java byte codes. You probably already know
how easy Rexx is to use; combine that with the power, flexibility,
and industry support of the Java environment and you may never need
to program in a C-like or BASIC-like language again!
Mike is currently completing the design of NetRexx and has an
experimental version working. His presentations at the Symposium
will be the first public in-depth description of the new language.
The 7th International Rexx Symposium for Developers and Users will be held at
the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Austin, Texas, on 13-15 May 1996. The Symposium
provides a focal point for information about Rexx and a venue for technical
interchange among members of the Rexx community.
The technical program features topics that range from application development
to issues associated with the implementation of Rexx interpreters. Vendor
presentations highlight new or enhanced product offerings. Presentations also
span the full range of platforms on which Rexx is implemented.
Papers and presentations are now being solicited for the technical program.
Presentations in the following topic areas are of particular interest
- Rexx in client/server applications
- Rexx and emerging technologies, including the Internet and the Web
- products that use Rexx as a scripting or macro language
- Object Rexx
- Rexx on Unix-based platforms
- designing applications for performance
- designing applications for portability
- re-hosting applications that use Rexx
- rapid prototyping in Rexx
- large-scale or mission-critical Rexx applications
- multi-platform applications
- Rexx for Windows, including Windows-NT
- Rexx compilers
- packages that provide language extensions
Presentations in other topic areas are also welcome.
Sessions are 45 minutes, including time for questions.
Abstracts for proposed presentations should be submitted to the Symposium
Program Committee for review. Submissions should include the title,
speaker(s), AV requirements (overhead projector, LCD projection device, flip
