Call for Papers ESOP 2006: The European Symposium on Programming http://www.itu.dk/research/esop06/ Affiliated with ETAPS'06 Vienna, Austria, 25 March to 2 April 2006 CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION ESOP is an annual conference devoted to fundamental issues in the specification, analysis, and implementation of programming languages and systems. This includes: * design of programming languages and calculi and their formal properties * techniques, methods, and tools for their implementation * exploitation of programming styles within different programming paradigms * automatic and manual methods for generating and reasoning about programs * the design and invention of systems and tools to assist in exploitation of the languages Contributions bridging the gap between theory and practice are particularly welcome. Topics traditionally covered by ESOP include programming paradigms and their integration, semantics, calculi of computation, security and privacy, advanced type systems, program analysis, program transformation, and practical algorithms based on theoretical developments. More information about ESOP can be found at ESOP's home page: http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~riis/esop.html ESOP'06 is one of the main conferences of ETAPS'06 with sister events CC, FASE, FOSSACS, TACAS, see: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/etaps06/ IMPORTANT DATES Friday 7 October 2005 Submission deadline for abstracts Friday 14 October 2005 Submission deadline for full papers (strict) Friday 9 December 2005 Notification of acceptance/rejection Friday 6 January 2006 Camera-ready version due Saturday 25 March to Sunday 2 April 2006 ETAPS 2006 SUBMISSION INFORMATION ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the proceedings and have presentations during the conference. A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation. All submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. In particular, simultaneous submission of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is forbidden. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF (preferably) or PS (using Type 1 fonts). The proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Final papers will be in the format specified by Springer-Verlag at the URL: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html It is recommended that submissions adhere to the specified format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately. A link to the electronic submission system will available shortly on the ESOP 2006 home page (http://www.itu.dk/research/esop06/). RESEARCH PAPERS: Final papers will be not more than 15 pages long, and should present original research. Additional material intended for the referee but not for publication in the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit. TOOL DEMONSTRATION PAPERS: Submissions should consist of two parts: The first part, at most four pages, should describe the tool presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and provide information which illustrates the maturity and robustness of the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.) The second part, at most six pages, should explain how the demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the proceedings, but will be evaluated.)
