  The last years have witnessed a flurry of new results in the area of partial
  evaluation.  These results  include:  (1)  a  better  understanding  of  the
  underlying mathematical principles,  (2) better strategies  for implementing
  partial evaluation systems, and (3)  new extensions that widen  the range of
  applications and thus should broaden the  community of users.  This tutorial
  surveys the field, presents a  critical assessment of the  state of the art,
  and explores  promising directions  where partial  evaluation  can be  used.
  Concrete examples are given.
