CC is interested in work on processing programs in the most general sense: analyzing, transforming or executing input that describes how a system operates, including traditional compiler construction as a special case. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Compilation and interpretation techniques, including program representation and analysis, code generation and code optimization; Run-time techniques, including memory management and dynamic and just-in-time compilation; Programming tools, from refactoring editors to checkers to compilers to virtual machines to debuggers; Techniques for specific domains, such as secure, parallel, distributed, embedded or mobile environments; Design of novel language constructs and their implementation.
