Description
Partial Evaluation has reached a point where theory and techniques have matured, substantial systems have been developed, and realistic applications can benefit from partial evaluation.
This book is based on the International Seminar on Partial Evaluation held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany in February 1996. The 24 strictly refereed full papers included evaluate the progress achieved in the field during the last decade. Also included is a detailed preface by the volume editors and a subject index. All in all, this book competently reports the state of the art and future perspectives in partial evaluation and is thus compulsory reading for anybody interested in the area.
