Charlottesville, Virginia, USA   PACT'2002: September 22-25, 2002

 

OVERVIEW

 

WBT-2002 will again be held with PACT in 2002, continuing a tradition of high quality presentations and papers in the field of binary translation. There are many academic and industrial projects on binary translation, optimization, and virtual machine design.  WBT-2002 will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to meet, thus stimulating the exchange of ideas and experiences with binary translation, and opening new avenues of research.  WBT-2002 presents 2 invited talks and 4 refereed papers this year. The final program is now available.
