Abstract

Safe programming languages offer safety and security features making them attractive for developing extensible environments on a wide variety of platforms, ranging from large servers all the way down to hand-held devices. Extensible environments facilitate dynamic hosting of a variety of potentially untrusted codes. This requires mechanisms to guarantee isolation among hosted applications and to control their usage of resources. While most safe languages provide certain isolation properties, typically resource management is difficult with the current standard APIs and existing virtual machines.This one-day workshop brought together practitioners and researchers working on various approaches to these problems to share ideas and experience.
