Partial evaluation technology continues to grow and mature. ACM SIGPLANsponsored conferences and workshops have provided a forum for researchers to share current results and directions of work. Partial evaluation techniques are being used in commercially available compilers (for example the Chez Scheme system). They are also being used in industrial scheduling systems (see Augustsson's article in this volume), they have been incorporated into popular commercial products (see Singh's article in this volume), and they are the basis of methodologies for implementing domain-specific languages
