Dear all, Please consider submitting a short or long paper to this symposium to be held in Tallinn in October. The symposium is timed to coincide with the next (more informal) Estonian Theory Days meeting so authors are welcome to attend both events. The symposium is local in a linguistic sense and alternates between Estonia, Finland and Hungary. After the symposium selected authors will be invited to revise their papers for a journal special issue published by the Estonian Academy of Sciences. We would be delighted to see submissions from the Haskell community! See below for further information. Regards, James Chapman Call for Papers SPLST'11 12th Symposium on Programming Languages and Software Tools http://www.cs.ioc.ee/splst11/ October 5-7, 2011, Tallinn, Estonia IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: Monday, August 22 Author Notification: Saturday, September 10 Camera ready manuscript: Monday, September 19 Registration: Monday, September 19 BACKGROUND This symposium is the twelfth in a series of conferences which started in 1989 in Szeged, Hungary. Since then it has been organized biannually. The twelfth symposium will be hosted by the Institute of Cybernetics at Tallinn University of Technology (IoC) and organized in co-operation with the Estonian Centre of Excellence in Computer Science (EXCS). AIMS AND SCOPE The Symposium on Programming Languages and Software Tools will provide a forum for software scientists to present and discuss recent research and development in computer science. The scope of the symposium covers ongoing research related to languages, tools and methods for software development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: programming and modeling languages and systems, formal methods and algorithms, parallel and distributed systems, techniques for embedded, database, web and ubiquitous systems, techniques and tools for software engineering, model-driven software engineering, software evolution, refactoring and re-engineering, software architectures and software processes, etc. PROCEEDINGS All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings as a report of IoC with ISBN. The authors of selected talks will be invited to revise their papers in order to be published as a special issue of the Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences (http://www.eap.ee/proceedings) in 2012. The papers submitted to this special issue will undergo standard journal referee process. SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit full research papers (at most 12 pages) or short research papers (4-6 pages) in PDF-format before August 22nd. Submissions should be written in English and formatted using the easychair.cls LaTeX class (can be obtained from http://www.easychair.org/easychair.zip). All submitted papers will be reviewed by members of the program committee and the accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. Submissions should contain sufficient detail to allow to evaluate its validity, quality, originality and relevance. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or journals is not allowed. Paper submission and reviewing is handled via Easychair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=splst11 PROGRAM COMMITTEE James Chapman - Institute of Cybernetics, Estonia Hassan Charaf - Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Marlon Dumas - University of Tartu, Estonia Tibor Gyimóthy - University of Szeged, Hungary Zoltán Horváth - Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary Akos Kiss - University of Szeged, Hungary Kai Koskimies - Tampere University of Technology, Finland Tamas Kozsik - Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary Merik Meriste - University of Tartu, Estonia Erkki Mäkinen - University of Tampere, Finland Jukka Paakki - University of Helsinki, Finland András Pataricza - Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Jaan Penjam - Institute of Cybernetics, Estonia Jari Peltonen - Tampere University of Technology, Finland Attila Pethõ - University of Debrecen, Hungary Luigia Petre - Åbo Akademi University, Finland Kari Smolander - Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland Tarja Systä - Tampere University of Technology, Finland Jorma Tarhio - Aalto University, Finland Kuldar Taveter - Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia Tarmo Uustalu - Institute of Cybernetics, Estonia Margus Veanes - Microsoft Research, Redmond USA Varmo Vene - University of Tartu, Estonia STEERING COMMITTEE Kai Koskimies - Tampere University of Technology, Finland Zoltán Horváth - Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary Jaan Penjam - Institute of Cybernetics, Estonia The SPLSTʼ11 symposium will be followed by the Estonian Computer Science Theory Days on October 7- 9, 2011.
