___________________________________________________________________________ My apologies if you receive this more than once! ___________________________________________________________________________ Call For Papers Joint International Symposia SAS'98 and PLILP/ALP'98 Pisa, Italy, 14--18 September 1998 http://www.di.unipi.it/di/groups/lp/spa98 Important dates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submission: April 3, 1998 Notification: May 29, 1998 Final Version: June 26, 1998 Scope of SAS'98 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SAS'98 is the Fifth International Static Analysis Symposium. Static Analysis is increasingly recognised as a fundamental tool for high performance implementations and verification systems of high-level programming languages. The last two decades have witnessed substantial developments in this area, ranging from theoretical frameworks to design, implementation, and application of analysers in optimising compilers. Previous SAS symposia were held in Namur, Glasgow, Aachen and Paris. Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic and object-oriented programming. Survey papers that present some aspect of the above topics with a new coherence are also welcome. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of Static Analysis, including, but not limited to Abstract Interpretation Data Flow Analysis Complexity Theoretical Frameworks Experimental Evaluation Verification Systems Specific Analyses Type Inference Partial Evaluation Optimising Compilers Abstract Domains Scope of PLILP/ALP'98 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Joint International Symposium PLILP/ALP'98 unites the tenth PLILP (Programming Languages, Implementations, Logics and Programs) and the seventh ALP (Algebraic and Logic Programming) conferences. The PLILP symposia traditionally aim at stimulating research in declarative programming languages, and seek to disseminate insights in the relation between the logics of those languages, implementation techniques, and the use of these languages in constructing real programs. The ALP conferences traditionally promote the exchange of ideas and experiences among researchers from the declarative programming communities. In addition to the standard topics, the 98 Joint Symposium welcomes contributions also from other programming areas, in particular from the concurrent and object-oriented fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to Functional, Logic, and Constraint Programming Object-Oriented Programming Integration of Different Paradigms Concurrent Extensions Typing and Structuring Systems Executable Specifications Implementation of Declarative Languages Compiler Specification and Construction Parallel and Distributed Implementations Programming Environments ~~~~~~~~~ SAS Program Chair Giorgio Levi (Pisa, Italy) [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLILP/ALP Program Chair Catuscia Palamidessi (Penn State, USA) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Conference chair Maurizio Gabbrielli (Pisa, Italy) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Workshops chair Roberto Bagnara (Parma, Italy) [EMAIL PROTECTED] SAS Program Committee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alex Aiken (Berkeley, USA) Maurice Bruynooghe (Leuven, Belgium) Michael Codish (Ben Gurion, Israel) Agostino Cortesi (Venezia, Italy) Radhia Cousot (Polytechnique Paris, France) Alain Deutsch (INRIA, France) Laurie Hendren (McGill, Canada) Fritz Henglein (DIKU, Denmark) Thomas Jensen (IRISA/CNRS, France) Alan Mycroft (Cambridge, UK) Flemming Nielson (Aarhus, Denmark) Thomas Reps (Wisconsin, USA) Dave Schmidt (Kansas State, USA) Mary Lou Soffa (Pittsburgh, USA) Harald Sondergaard (Melbourne, Australia) Bernhard Steffen (Passau, Germany) PLILP/ALP Program Committee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lex Augusteijn (Philips Res., The Netherlands) Frederic Benhamou (Nantes, France) Luca Cardelli (Microsoft Res., UK) Francois Fages (CNRS, ENS, France) Moreno Falaschi (Udine, Italy) Hugh Glaser (Co-chair, Southampton, UK) Peter Kacsuk (MTA SZTAKI Res., Hungary) Xavier Leroy (INRIA, France) Jean-Jacques Levy (INRIA, France) John Lloyd (Bristol, UK) Karl Meinke (Co-chair, KTH, Sweden) Paola Mello (Ferrara, Italy) Eugenio Moggi (Genova, Italy) Peter Mosses (BRICS, Denmark) Gopalan Nadathur (Chicago, USA) Jukka Paakki (Helsinki, Finland) Simon Peyton Jones (Glasgow, UK) Benjamin Pierce (Indiana, USA) Ernesto Pimentel (Malaga, Spain) Zoltan Somogyi (Melbourne, Australia) Peter Thiemann (Nottingham, UK) Yoshihito Toyama (JAIST, Japan) Peter Wegner (Brown, USA) Reinhard Wilhelm (Saarland, Germany) Organizing Committee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ G. Amato R. Bagnara M. Gabbrielli R. Giacobazzi R. Gori G. Levi F. Scozzari F. Spoto P. Volpe Conferences venue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Symposia will take place at the Palazzo dei Congressi of Pisa, Italy. Pisa is one of the oldest towns in Italy: its Etruscanorigins go back nearly 3,000 years. In Roman times Pisa became an important port, and asserted itself as a seagoing power in the 12th century. This period was the start of a phase of economic prosperity and artistic splendour. Furthermore it became also an active centre of culture: its world famous University was founded in 1334. Nowadays Pisa's historical, cultural and artistic heritage attracts many tourists from all over the world. Pisa is well connected to the rest of Europe by its international airport, which has daily flights to the main European cities, and by good road and rail links. Paper submissions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The submission deadline is April 3, 1998. Papers must describe original, previously unpublished work, and must not be simultaneously submitted for publicaton elsewhere. They must be written in English, must not exceed 15 pages (Springer LNCS format, excluding references and figures), and must contain a cover page containing the following: a 200-word abstract, keywords, postal and electronic mailing addresses, and phone and fax numbers of one of the authors. Submission is electronic (up to exceptions): submission guidelines will appear on the web site given under Additional Information. Authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of their papers by May 29, 1998. Final versions of the accepted papers must be received in camera-ready form by June 26, 1998.

PLILP/ALP'98 will be held from September 16 to September 18, 1998. The technical program of both conferences will consist of invited lectures, tutorials, presentations of refereed papers, and software demonstrations. Publication ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Satellite events ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 1st International Workshop on Component-based software development in Computational Logic will be held on September 19. Some other postconference workshops are expected.
