What to bring and read for the Language Design Meeting

[Bernd-Krieg-Brückner <bkb@informatik.uni-bremen.de>]

Dear friends,
the CoFI Workshop in Cachan, Sat 7th - Tue 10th November, 1998, is
getting nearer.
This serves as a reminder for what you should have read!
Also there is an extra item on the agenda (at the end):
relation to programming languages.

So let me repeat the agenda here (slightly updated): 

The first session on Language Design will be devoted to 
- an overview of Language Design changes from v0.99 to v1.0 [Till]
- a (rather non-technical) of the resp. Semantics changes
- a discussion on publication, revision procedure etc.
- organisation of work on extensions
- relationship of extensions (here) and Reactive extensions
  [this item could also be discussed in the first Reactive session]
If there is time, we will continue with the agenda below, otherwise
in the second and third sessions:
- sublanguages of CASL (cf. Study Notes L-7 and L-9) [Till]
- Higher-Order extension of CASL (cf. Study Note L-10) [Till]
- parametrized types, existential types/ dynamic binding, 
  polymorphism, "structure-polymorphism" similar to Haskell type classes
- other extensions
- relation to programming languages ( 

For the last item (which we may wish to discuss or at least do a
brainstorming for much earlier), please bring the (old) language
design note EA+GR-2
	Egidio Astesiano and Gianna Reggio: Development process methodology.
