However, a major impediment to their widespread acceptance for parallel programming is the perception that concurrent object-oriented languages are inefficient (particularly compared to C and Fortran). The purpose of the workshop is to examine the efficiency of existing concurrent object-oriented language implementations, discuss techniques for improving the efficiency of such implementations, and identify the challenges in reaching parity in efficiency. An important goal of the workshop to facilitate communication amongst researchers and practitioners working in distinct communities, particularly those building applications using concurrent object-oriented languages and those building implementations of concurrent object-oriented languages. The workshop will focus on all aspects of efficient implementation of concurrent object-oriented programs. An incomplete list of these topics include: o Fine and Coarse-grained systems o Compilation techniques (static analysis and optimization) o Supporting data parallel computations o Run time issues (load balancing, scheduling, and message driven execution) o Experience identifying efficiency problems o Large-scale concurrent object-oriented programming experience The workshop will last one day and be held in Washington, D.C. at the site of OOPSLA '93. Participants who wish to make a presentation are required to submit a short position paper (2-5 pages) and should specify if they would like to give a 20-minute or 10-minute presentation. Other participants must also submit a position statement (1 page). Papers will be accepted by the organizers on the basis of technical quality and the availability of space. All submissions should be clearly marked with the author's name and electronic (or regular) mail address and sent to the workshop coordinator. Submissions must be received by JULY 30, 1993. Participants will be notified of acceptance by August 20, 1993. All the papers will be made available to the participants of the workshop. If there is sufficient interest, we will consider a wider distribution of the papers in the appropriate format. Workshop Organizers: L. V.
