ETAPS is an annual event which takes place in Europe each spring since 1998. The tenth meeting, ETAPS 2007, will take place March 24 till April 1 2007 in Braga, Portugal, hosted by the University of Minho. The main conferences of ETAPS are: - FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures - FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering - ESOP: European Symposium on Programming - CC: International Conference on Compiler Construction - TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems These conferences will take place March 26-30, 2007. -- SATELLITE EVENTS -- The ETAPS 2007 Organizing Committee invites proposals for Satellite Events (workshops, tutorials, etc.) that will complement the main ETAPS conferences. They should fall within the scope of ETAPS. This encompasses all aspects of the system development process, including specification, design, implementation, analysis and improvement, as well as the languages, methodologies and tools which support these activities, covering a spectrum from practically-motivated theory to soundly-based practice. Satellite Events provide an opportunity to discuss and report on emerging research approaches and practical experience relevant to theory and practice of software. ETAPS 2007 Satellite Events will be held immediately before and after the main conferences, on March 24-25 and March 31, and April 1, 2007. -- SUBMISSION OF SATELLITE EVENT PROPOSALS -- Researchers and practitioners wishing to organize Satellite Events are invited to submit proposals in ASCII, PDF or Postscript format by e-mail to the Satellite Events Co-chairs, Luis Barbosa and Joost Visser, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] A proposal should not exceed two pages and should include: - Satellite Event name / acronym - the names and contact information of the organizers - the preferred period: 24-25 March or 31 March-1 April - the duration of the workshop: one-day or two-day event - 120-word description of the workshop topic for later use in publicity material - a brief explanation of the workshop topic and its relevance to ETAPS - a schedule for paper submission, notification of acceptance and final versions (the latter no later than the early registration deadline of February 12, 2007) - expected number of participants - any other relevant information, like event format, invited speakers, publication policy, demo sessions, special space requirements, etc. The proposals will be evaluated by the ETAPS 2007 organizing committee on the basis of their assessed benefit for prospective participants to ETAPS 2007.
