Topic:    Flash Player ActionScript Virtual Machine (Tamarin)

Speaker:  Rick Reitmaier
           Adobe Systems

About the talk:

The Adobe Flash Player is almost universally available on desktop
computers, yet many people are not even aware of its existence or
of its capabilities.

It is a client application that is accessible within most web
browsers and features support for vector and raster graphics,
audio and video streaming and a scripting language; ActionScript.

The scripting language is executed by a virtual machine (VM), the
internals of which, will be the focus of this talk.

I will also talk about Adobe’s recent release of the source code
of this VM to the open source community along with Mozilla’s plan
for embedding this module into the Firefox web browser.

About the speaker:

Rick Reitmaier is a Senior Scientist at Adobe Systems
Incorporated and was heavily involved in the initial design and
implementation of the ActionScript Virtual Machine currently
embedded in Adobe's Flash Player.

He has held numerous positions in a variety of companies such as
Macromedia, Cognigine, Brio, Sqribe, Exocom and Nortel.

He obtained his BMATH in Applied Mathematics from the University
of Waterloo in 1996.
