[PRL] Fwd: [Pl-seminar] Semantics Seminar Schedule

[Matthias Felleisen]

If you would like to meet with Jacob during the afternoon, please let 
me know. In addition to the semantics of interoperability, he's also 
interested in the rewriting semantics for macros and DSLs especially 
web-server-based ones.

> Software developers have long understood that real applications are
> built out of components in different languages and connected using a
> variety of different strategies. For example, foreign function
> interface systems like SWIG connect high-level languages to low-level
> languages; component frameworks like COM and; CORBA connect high-level
> languages to; each other; and domain-specific languages such as Yacc
> are embedded into their host languages in such a away that control and
> data flow back and forth between the programs.

> In this talk I will present a general technique for modelling the
> operational semantics of multilanguage systems such as these. The
> technique is simple and general, and surprisingly connects traditional
> multilanguage systems to seemingly unrelated concepts such as
> contracts.
