[ --- standard apologies for multiple postings apply -- HWL --- ] 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd APPSEM II Workshop (APPSEM05) Frauenchiemsee, Germany, 12-15 September 2005 http://lionel.tcs.ifi.lmu.de/APPSEM05/ The final workshop of the APPSEM II initiative will take place on the island of Frauenchiemsee, an island in Lake Chiemsee near Munich, from September 12 to 15, 2005. It will follow immediately onto the APPSEM II Summer School at the same location. Background and Objectives APPSEM II (Applied Semantics II) is a 36-month FP5 IST thematic network project that started in January 2003. The network consists of 20 sites (with a number of subsites) and is coordinated by Martin Hofmann (LMU München). The APPSEM'05 workshop will be held on the island Frauenchiemsee, in the lake of Chiemsee, approximately 100 km south east of Munich. This is the 3rd general annual meeting of the network. Previous meetings took place in Nottingham (APPSEM'03) and in Tallinn (APPSEM'04). All members of the network are invited to attend, but participation of non-members from both academia and industry with interests in application-oriented programming language semantics is actively encouraged, too. The purpose of the workshop is to present new results and plan future work in each of the following nine themes of the network: - Program structuring: object-oriented programming, modules, - Proof assistants, functional programming, and dependent types, - Program analysis, generation, and configuration, - Specification and verification methods, - Types and type inference in programming, - Games, sequentiality, and abstract machines, - Semantic methods for distributed computing, - Resource models and web data, - Continuous phenomena in Computer Science. For each theme there will be a session of contributed talks. In addition, there will be several invited talks, an industrial panel session, a brainstorming session and a business meeting. Following on from the workshop, an informal proceedings will be published on the web. Full refereeing will be done on revised versions of the papers after the workshop with a selection of papers being published in a formal proceedings. Submission Two kinds of contributions are solicited: - short presentations of circa 15 minutes each - full presentations of circa 30 minutes each Submission for short presentations Authors should submit a short abstract of maximal 2 pages. Short presentations offer the opportunity to advertise any work relevant for APPSEM II, either completed or in progress. These submissions will be judged by the programme committee according to interest and relevance to APPSEM II; the PC will try to accommodate in the workshop programme all short presentations that meet these criteria. Submission for full presentations Submission of full presentations is in 2 phases: phase 1 focusses on relevance of the topic to the APPSEM remit; phase 2 involves full refereeing. Phase 1: Authors should submit an extended abstract of maximal 10 pages, excluding appendices. The PC encourages high quality extended abstracts that can be considered for formal publication within few months. The submissions will be ranked by the PC according to quality and relevance to APPSEM II themes. Successful submissions will get a 30 minute slot for presentation at the workshop, and will be considered for phase 2. Other submissions will be automatically considered for 15 minute presentation slots. Authors of submissions to phase 1 automatically express a commitment to submit to phase 2 if accepted. Phase 2: Authors should submit a full paper (max 20 pages excluding appendices) that will be refereed according to usual scientific standards after the workshop. Selected papers will be published in the proceedings for the workshop. We expect to have 10-12 contributions published in the final proceedings. The exact format of these final proceedings is yet to be decided. Important dates - Submission for short presentations (max 2 pages): 8 July 2005 - Submission for full presentations (max 10 pages): 8 July 2005 - Notification of acceptance (phase 1): 12 August 2005 - Workshop: 12-15 September 2005 Programme committee The programme committee consists of one or two scientists per theme and a chairman. - Gilles Barthe - Gavin Bierman - Thierry Coquand - Pierre-Louis Curien - Peter Dybier - Philippa Gardner - Chris Hankin - Fritz Henglein - Martin Hofmann (Chair) - Neil Jones - Achim Jung - Peter O'Hearn - Eugenio Moggi - Andrew Pitts - Francois Pottier - Didier Remy - Uday Reddy - Glynn Winskel Venue The picturesque small island Frauenchiemsee is home of a Benedictine monastery, which nowadays also hosts seminars. Founded in 722 by Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria, its most famous abbess was Irmengard (died 866; beatified 1928), great-granddaughter of Charlemagne. Other historically recorded abbesses are Sabina Preindorfer (died 1609) und Magdalena Haidenbucher (died 1650). Until the 11th century the monastery was directly subordinated to the Holy Empire, later on it was subordinated to the Archbishop of Salzburg.
