This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th
International Workshop on Reversible Computation, RC 2012, held in
Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2012. The 19 contributions presented
in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46
submissions. The papers cover theoretical considerations,
reversible software and reversible hardware, and physical
realizations and applications in quantum computing.
Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE) is a
leading -
searchconferenceonautomaticprogrammingandcomponentengineering.These
approaches to software engineering have the potential to
revolutionize software development as automation and components
revolutionized manufacturing. The conference brings together
researchers and practitioners interested in adva- ing automation
for software development. It is also a premier forum for cro-
fertilization between the programming language and software
engineering - search communities. GPCEaroseasajointconference,
mergingthepriorconferenceonGenerative and Component-Based Software
Engineering (GCSE) and the Workshop on - mantics, Applications,
andImplementationofProgramGeneration(SAIG). The
proceedingsofthepreviousGPCEconferenceswerepublishedintheLNCSseries
of Springer as volumes2487,2830, and 3286.In 2005 GPCE
wasco-locatedwith the International Conference on Functional
Programming (ICFP) and the s- posium on Trends in Functional
Programming (TFP), re?ecting the vigorous interaction between the
functional programming and generative programming research
communities. GPCE and ICFP are both sponsored by the Association
for Computing Machinery. The quality and breadth of the papers
submitted to GPCE 2005 was impr- sive. All 86 papers, including 5
papers for tool demonstrations, were rigorously reviewed by 17
highly quali?ed Program Committee members. The members of the
Program Committee ?rst provided in-depth individual reviews of the
s- mitted papers, and then debated the merits of the papers through
an extended electronicProgramCommitteemeeting.After much(friendly)
argument,25r- ular papers and 2 tool demonstration papers were
selected for publication. The ProgramCommittee provided extensive
technical feedback to the authors of the
submittedpapers.Theconferenceprogramwascomplementedwiththreeinvited

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.
What is the best way to tell a story? In this anthology, the
first-ever collection of essays by innovative, cutting-edge writers
on the theme of narration, forty of the continent's top
experimental writers describe their engagement with language,
storytelling and the world. The anthology includes renowned writers
like Kathy Acker, Dennis Cooper, Nicole Brossard, Daphne Marlatt,
Lydia Davis and Kevin Killian, writers who have spent years
pondering the meaning of storytelling and how storytelling
functions in our culture, as well as presenting a new generation of
brilliant thinkers and writers, like Christian Bok, Corey Frost,
Derek McCormack and Lisa Robertson. Contemporizing the friendly
anecdotal style of Montaigne and written by daring writers of
different ages, of different origins, from many different regions
of the continent, from Mexico to Montreal, these essays run the
gamut of mirth, prose poetry, tall tales and playful explorations
of reader/writer dynamics. They discuss aesthetics founded on new
explorations in the field of narrative, the mystery that is the
body, questions of how representation may be torqued to deal with
gender and sexuality, the experience of marginalized people, the
negotiation between different orders of time, the 'performance' of
outlaw subject matter. Brave, energetic and fresh, Biting the Error
tells a whole new story about narrative. Biting the Error is edited
by Mary Burger, Robert Gluck, Camille Roy and Gail Scott, the
co-founders of the Narrativity Website Magazine, based at the
Poetry Center, San Francisco State University.
The collected essays of the cofounder of the New Narrative
movement, on theory, identity, poetry, and muses from Kathy Acker
to Georges Bataille. I read and wrote to invoke what seemed
impossible-relation itself-in order to take part in a world that
ceaselessly makes itself up, to "wake up" to the world, to
recognize the world, to be convinced that the world exists, to take
revenge on the world for not existing. -from Communal Nude Since
cofounding San Francisco's influential New Narrative circle in
1979, Robert Gluck has been one of America's finest prose stylists
of innovative fiction, bending narrative into the service of
autobiography, politics, and gay writing. This collection brings
together for the first time Gluck's nonfiction, a revelatory body
of work that anchors his writing practice. Gluck's essays explore
the ways that storytelling and selfhood are mutually embedded
cultural forms, cohering a fractured social reality where
generating narrative means generating identity means generating
community. "I'd laugh at (make art from) any version of self,"
Gluck writes, "I write about these forms-that are myself-to
dispense with them, to demonstrate how they disintegrate before the
world, the body." For any body-or text-to know itself, it must
first see how it sees the world, and understand itself as writing.
Gluck's essays affirm this radical narratorial precept in rich
spirals of reading, self-reflection, anecdote, escapade, and
"metatext." These texts span the author's career and his creative
affinities-from lost manifestos theorizing the poetics of New
Narrative; to encomia for literary and philosophic muses (Kathy
Acker, the HOW(ever) poets, Frank O'Hara, Georges Bataille, and
others); to narrative journalism, book reviews, criticism, and
public talks. Many of the texts are culled from obscure little
magazines and ephemeral online sources; others have never been
published. As lucid as story, as lush as theory, and as
irresistible as gossip, Gluck's essays are the quintessence of New
Narrative theory in practice.
