Proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Implementation, Compilation, Optimization of Object-Oriented Languages, Programs and Systems

This volume contains the proceedings of the Sixth Workshop on the Implementation, Compilation, Optimization of Object-Oriented Languages, Programs and Systems (ICOOOLPS). Computer programming languages, especially Object-Oriented languages, are pervasive and play a significant role in computer science and engineering life and sometime appear as ubiquitous and completely mature. However, despite a large number of works, there still is a clear need for solutions for efficient implementation and compilation of OO languages in various application domains ranging from embedded and real-time systems to desktop systems. The ICOOOLPS workshop thus aims to address this crucial issue of optimization, mainly but not only in OO languages, programs and systems. It intends to do so by bringing together researchers and practitioners working in the field of implementation and optimization of programming languages. Its main goals are identifying fundamental bases and key current issues pertaining to the efficient implementation, compilation and optimization of OO languages, and outlining future challenges and research directions.
