LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
MPC 2000
5th International Conference on
MATHEMATICS OF PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION
-----------------------------------
http://www.di.uminho.pt/mpc2000
3--5 July, 2000
Ponte de Lima, Portugal
This conference aims to promote the development of mathematical principles
and techniques that are demonstrably useful and usable in the process of
constructing computer programs (whether implemented in hardware or software).
The focus of the conference is on techniques that combine precision with
concision, enabling programs to be constructed by formal calculation.
Within this theme, the scope of the conference is very diverse.
We welcome contributions to programming methodology (for example, formal
methods for program specification and transformation), to programming
paradigms (for example, generic programming techniques and type systems)
and to language design (for example, programming calculi and programming
language semantics). Theoretical contributions are welcome provided their
relevance to program construction is evident; discussion of applications is
welcome provided the mathematical basis is evident.
A number of workshops will be organised in conjunction with the conference.
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submission of papers: 3rd January, 2000
Notification of acceptance/rejection: 29th February, 2000
Final papers due: 17th April, 2000
PAPER SUBMISSION
Full papers should be submitted in Postscript format by e-mail to reach
Jose Oliveira by 3rd January, 2000.
There are no fixed page limits on submissions but authors are warned that
submitted papers should not be unduly long. As a guide, papers exceeding twenty
A4 pages will be regarded as long.
PROCEEDINGS
