8:45 am—10:30 am

Opening Remarks, Best Paper Awards, and Keynote Address Keynote: Stop Thinking Outside the Box. There Is No Box. Robert Berry, Distinguished Engineer, The IBM Centre for Java Technology It has become crucial for developers to understand the many trends and influences driving JVM innovation today. What effect will Web services, grid exploitation, and other applications have on Java programming models and performance? Why do new applications still contain custom object managers to sidestep JVM garbage collection? What are the implications of aspect-oriented tools for languages like Java? What does the new focus on autonomic computing and self-healing systems imply for the Java VM? Finally, what effects will the current trends in hardware have? All of these offer enormous opportunities to have fun and to continue Java's extraordinary history of innovation.

9:00 am—10:30 am

Invited Talk: Research Opportunities and Research Challenges David Tarditi, Microsoft Research Microsoft's Common Language Runtime is a target for multiple languages, including C#, C++, and Visual Basic. As such, the CLR presents new opportunities and challenges for researchers working on compilers and runtime systems. I will give a brief overview of the CLR, CIL (the Common Intermediate Language), and C# and will discuss aspects of a multi-language VM that researchers may find novel or unfamiliar. I will then describe opportunities and challenges that these aspects present to researchers, drawing on my experience working on Marmot, a research optimizing compiler for Java, and Bartok, a research optimizing compiler for CIL.
