Denmark.

We invite papers on all topics related to trace compilation, including
but not limited to:

Trace recording and compilation
Trace compilation for static and dynamic languages
VM integration of trace compilers
Novel optimizations for trace based compilers
Novel intermediate representations for trace based compilers
Formal aspects of traces
Integration of trace compilers and method compilers
Traces in binary translation systems
Trace collection and analysis
Testing of trace based compilers
Industry / experience papers
Tool demonstration

First International Workshop on Trace Compilation

I realised your intended audience is experts in the field, but you
posted to a number of general newsgroups. It would be polite to
explain just what trace compilation is for the average programmer, and
some examples of trace languages.
