Working Meeting, Language Design Task Group - FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT - sorry for the delay!
The following, hopefully complete, information about the forthcoming
meeting has now been added to the CoFI WWW pages. Please contact Radu
Grosu if you need further information about local arrangements, and
Bernd Krieg-Brueckner concerning participation and technical issues.
We shall TRY to provide some preliminary indication of the results of
the Munich meeting on this mailing-list by mid-July. Due to the
Dagstuhl meeting directly after AMAST, and the forthcoming vacation,
this won't be easy, and the details will have to wait to August.

Working Meeting, Language Design Task Group, 5-7 July 1996, Munich
Updated: 27 June
The next CoFI Language Design task group meeting will be held in Munich:
Friday 5 July (2pm) to Sunday 7 July (12.30pm), 1996.
This is immediately after the AMAST'96 conference (for info, see URL:
http://www.pst.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/amast96). Please note that the
meeting is intended only for ACTIVE participants of the Language Design task
group, and familiarity with ALL available study notes, check-lists, etc.,
will be presumed. This meeting is to resolve the remaining technical
questions concerning the tentative design proposal, and to clarify the
rationale for the various design choices. This should result in the adoption
(by the Language Design task group) of a Tentative Common Language
Description by mid-July, 1996 - although because of vacation time, it may be
mid-August before a detailed report is available.
The plan is then that the Semantics, Tools, Methodology, and Reactive
Systems task groups should assess the tentative language design from their
various perspectives, at the same time starting to prepare the relevant
associated documents that should eventually accompany the CoFI Common
Language Reference Manual. The Language Design task group should meanwhile
turn its attention to the design of a concrete syntax for the Common
Language (the tentative language design will focus on its abstract syntax)
and to preparing examples of specifications.
Provided that the changes to the tentative language design suggested by the
various task groups are not too dramatic, the plan is to converge on a
proposal for a CoFI Common Language Definition by the end of 1996. This
proposal should then be open to public debate for some months, before a CoFI
Common Language Definition based on it is submitted to IFIP WG 14.3 for
approval, probably in Spring 1997.
Note, however, that the Common Framework Initiative is a voluntary, unfunded
effort, and the plans outlined above may change, in response to fluctuations
in the available human resources.
