AS 2002 <http://www.brics.dk/Projects/AS/2002/> 4th International Workshop on ACTION SEMANTICS and RELATED FRAMEWORKS Copenhagen, Denmark, July 21, 2002 Affiliated with FME 2002 Action Semantics is a practical framework for formal semantic description of programming languages. Since its appearance in 1992, Action Semantics has been used to describe major languages such as Pascal, SML, ANDF, and Java, and various tools for processing action semantic descriptions have been developed. The AS 2002 workshop is to report recent developments, demonstrate tools, and coordinate future work. A special topic at this workshop is to assess the relative strengths of Action Semantics and the ASM (Abstract State Machine) framework. AS 2002 is intended primarily for those working with Action Semantics and (loosely-)related frameworks, but participation is open to all who are familiar with the basic ideas of Action Semantics. See the Proceedings of the previous workshops in this series for an impression of what to expect: AS 2000 <http://www.brics.dk/NS/00/6/>, AS'99 <http://www.brics.dk/NS/99/3/>, and AS'94 <http://www.brics.dk/NS/94/1/BRICS-NS-94-1/>. Abstracts of the accepted presentations will be made available electronically. Copies will be handed out at the workshop. The AS 2002 Proceedings with extended abstracts/full papers is to be published in the BRICS Notes Series in November 2002. Those wishing to give a presentation at the AS 2002 workshop should submit a 1-page abstract. For further information see the AS 2002 web page at <http://www.brics.dk/Projects/AS/2002/>.
