  FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

 11th International Conference on
  Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology, AMAST '06

   colocated with MPC '06

Kuressaare, Estonia,  5-8 July 2006
 

http://cs.ioc.ee/mpc-amast06/amast/ 



Background

The major goal of the AMAST conferences is to promote research that
may lead to the setting of software technology on a firm, mathematical
basis. This goal is advanced by a large international cooperation with
contributions from both academia and industry. The virtues of a
software technology developed on a mathematical basis have been
envisioned as being capable of providing software that is (a) correct,
and the correctness can be proved mathematically, (b) safe, so that it
can be used in the implementation of critical systems, (c) portable,
i.e., independent of computing platforms and language generations, and
(d) evolutionary, i.e., it is self-adaptable and evolves with the
problem domain.

The previous conferences were held in Iowa City, Iowa, USA (1989, 1991
and 2000), Twente, The Netherlands (1993), Montreal, Canada (1995),
Munich, Germany (1996), Sydney, Australia (1997), Manaus, Amazonia,
Brazil (1998), Reunion Island, France (2002) and Stirling, UK (2004,
colocated with MPC' 04). The 2006 conference will be held at
Kuressaare, Estonia, colocated with MPC '06. 

The conference series has become widely known for disseminating 
academic and industrial achievements within the broad AMAST areas
of interest. Through these meetings AMAST has attracted an international
following among researchers and practitioners interested in software
technology, programming methodology and their algebraic and logical
foundations.


Important dates

  languages and tools, formal specification and development case studies.

* Algebraic and logical foundations: logic, category theory, relation
  algebra, computational algebra, algebraic foundations for languages
  and systems, coinduction, theorem proving and logical frameworks for
  reasoning, logics of programs, algebra and coalgebra.

* Systems and tools (for system demonstrations or ordinary papers):
  software development environments, support for correct software
  development, system support for reuse, tools for prototyping, component
  based software development tools, validation and verification, computer
  algebra systems, theorem proving systems.


Submission and publication

Two kinds of submissions are solicited for this conference: technical
papers and system demonstrations.  Papers may report academic or
industrial progress, and papers which deal with both are especially
well-regarded.

Submission is in two stages. Abstracts (plain text) must be submitted by 3
February 2006 (extended). Full papers (pdf) adhering to the llncs style and
not longer than 15 pages (6 pages for system demonstrations) must be
submitted by 10 February 2006 (extended). The web-based submission system
is open. Papers must report previously unpublished work and not be
submitted concurrently to another conference with refereed proceedings.
Accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors.

All papers will be refereed by the programme committee, and will be 
judged based on their significance, technical merit, and relevance 
to the conference.

The proceedings of AMAST '06 will be published in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science series of Springer-Verlag.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

   8th International Conference on 
 Mathematics of Program Construction
   MPC '06

 Kuressaare, Estonia,  3-5 July 2006

  http://cs.ioc.ee/mpc-amast06/mpc/


   colocated with AMAST '06


Background

The biennial MPC conferences aim to promote the development of
mathematical principles and techniques that are demonstrably useful
and usable in the process of constructing computer programs. Topics of
interest range from algorithmics to support for program construction
in programming languages and systems.

The previous conferences were held in Twente, The Netherlands (1989),
Oxford, UK (1992), Kloster Irsee, Germany (1995), Marstrand, Sweden
(1998), Ponte de Lima, Portugal (2000), Dagstuhl, Germany (2002) and
Stirling, UK (2004, colocated with AMAST '04). The 2006 conference
will be held at Kuressaare, Estonia, colocated with AMAST '06.


Invited speakers

Olivier Danvy, Aarhus Universitet
Oege de Moor, University of Oxford


Important dates

* Submission of abstracts: 3 February 2006 (extended)
* Submission of full papers: 10 February 2006 (extended)
* Notification of authors: 17 March 2006
* Camera-ready version: 14 April 2006


Topics

Papers are solicited on mathematical methods and tools put to use in
program construction. Topics of interest range from algorithmics to
support for program construction in programming languages and
systems. Some typical areas are type systems, program analysis and
transformation, programming language semantics, program logics.
Theoretical contributions are welcome provided their relevance for
program construction is clear. Reports on applications are welcome
provided their mathematical basis is evident.


Submission and publication

Submission is in two stages. Abstracts (plain text) must be submitted
by 3 February 2006 (extended). Full papers (pdf) adhering to the llncs
style must be submitted by 10 February 2006 (extended). There is no
official page limit, but authors should strive for brevity. The
web-based submission system is open. Papers must report previously
unpublished work and not be submitted concurrently to another
conference with refereed proceedings. PC members may submit. Accepted
papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors.

The proceedings of MPC '06 will be published in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series of Springer-Verlag.

After the conference, the authors of the best papers will be invited
to submit revised versions to a special issue of the Science of
Computer Programming journal of Elsevier.

Satellite workshops

Two workshops will be held in conjunction with MPC 2006 as satellites
on 2 July 2006:

5th International Workshop on Constructive Methods for 
Parallel Programming, CMPP 2006

Workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming, 
MSFP 2006



Venue

Kuressaare (pop. 16000) is the main town on Saaremaa, the
second-largest island of the Baltic Sea. Kuressaare is a charming
seaside resort on the shores of the Gulf of Riga highly popular with
Estonians as well as visitors to Estonia.

The scientific sessions of MPC/AMAST 2006 will take place at Saaremaa
Spa Hotel Meri, one among the several new spa hotels in the town. The
social events will involve a number of sites, including the
14th-century episcopal castle. Accommodation will be at Saaremaa Spa
Hotels Meri and Rüütli.

To get to Kuressaare and away, one must pass through Tallinn
(pop. 402000), Estonia's capital city. Tallinn is famous for its
picturesque medieval Old Town, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage
List.


Local organizers

MPC/AMAST 2006 is organized by Institute of Cybernetics, a research
institute of Tallinn University of Technology.

The local organizers are Tarmo Uustalu (chair), Monika Perkmann, Juhan
Ernits, Ando Saabas, Olha Shkaravska, Kristi Uustalu.

LaTeX – A Document Preparation System says in subsection B.1.2:

The bibliography style determines whether or not a title is 
capitalized; the
titles of books usually are, the titles of articles usually are not.

For URLs, MediaWiki converts every space into an underscore.  So if the page 
name is "Books and tutorials" then the URL is 
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Books_and_tutorials.
