The second ACM SIGPLAN History of Programming Languages Conference (HOPL-II) took place on April 20-23, 1993 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The papers prepared for that conference form the basis of this present volume… The Program Committee…decided to have both invited and submitted papers, and we believe that the range of languages and the quality of presentations will make this volume a classic in the history of programming literature. The languages for HOPL-II were: Ada, ALGOL 68, C, C++, CLU, Discrete Simulation Languages, Monitors and Concurrent Pascal, FORMAC, Forth, Icon, Lisp, Pascal, Prolog, Smalltalk. The results of this conference were recorded in Thomas J. Bergin and Richard G. Gibson, "History of Programming Languages" [ACM Press, New York , NY and Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Reading, MA, 1996] This Conference was preceeded by a Forum on the History of Computing, and the papers presented at the forum complete this volume.
