SUMMARY:Cake: a language for linking mismatched object code - Stephen Kell
  (University of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20090512T120000Z

UID:TALK18459@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Stephen Kell
DESCRIPTION:Conventional linkers and compilers do not adequately support c
 omposition of mismatched software components\, since they implicitly assum
 e components to be plug-compatible and homogeneous. Cake is a special-purp
 ose linking language which complements conventional tools by describing co
 rrespondences (or relations) between mismatched preexisting components. I'
 ll briefly describe the benefits of the Cake language and the case-studies
  which have shaped its design.\n\n[This is a five-minute practice talk for
  a short paper track at ICSE. Those who attended my longer CPRG talk on th
 e same subject shouldn't expect to learn much new from  attending. I'll be
  doing a further practice run-through of the longer talk immediately after
  the netos meeting\, which any interested audience members are invited to 
 stay for.]
