[TYPES/announce] NWPT 2021 call for contributions - deadline 10 October
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] NWPT is a series of annual regional-scope workshops on programming theory, targeted especially at younger researchers. In 2020, the workshop had been scheduled to take place in Reykjavik, Iceland, but had to be cancelled (postponed) because of the pandemic. As the epidemiological situation in Iceland is currently relatively good, NWPT 2021 is now going ahead at short notice as a hybrid meeting, the circumstances permitting. We hope this will be a nice opportunity especially for our PhD students and postdocs to attend a real physical workshop and present their work and to meet their colleagues from elsewhere in the Nordic countries - after a break of 1.5 years. --- 32nd Nordic Workshop on Programming Theory, NWPT '21 Reykjavik, Iceland and online, 4-6 November 2021 -- Important dates Submission of abstracts 10 October Notification 17 October -- About NWPT The NWPT series of annual workshops is a forum bringing together programming theorists from the Nordic and Baltic countries, but also from elsewhere. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) - semantics of programming languages, - programming language design and programming methodology, - programming logics, - formal specification of programs, - program verification, - program construction, - tools for program verification and construction, - program transformation and refinement, - real-time and hybrid systems, - models of concurrency and distributed computing, - model-based testing, - language-based security. Contributed talks Authors wishing to give a talk at the workshop are requested to submit abstracts of 2-3 pages (pdf, printable on A4 paper, typeset with LaTeX with easychair.cls) through EasyChair (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nwpt2021__;!!IBzWLUs!CCsFzUAOG9muZEhPCn_-T4nulo_qdlW9weyvoJvmwyDp8qmCG4AsEUPCFde4FV42xQY18mluJ2YMyg$ ) by 10 October.

It is an annual event held in Europe each spring since 1998. Its twentieth edition, ETAPS 2017, will take place 23-29 April 2017 in Uppsala, Sweden. ETAPS 2017 main conferences, scheduled for 25-28 April, are: * ESOP: European Symposium on Programming * FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering * FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures * POST: Principles of Security and Trust * TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems -- SATELLITE EVENTS -- The ETAPS 2017 organizing committee invites proposals for satellite events (workshops) that will complement the main 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.

[TYPES/announce] ETAPS 2016 call for satellite events
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] 19th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software ETAPS 2016 Eindhoven, The Netherlands, April 2-8, 2016 http://www.etaps.org/2016/ Call for Satellite Events -- ABOUT ETAPS -- The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS) is the primary European forum for academic and industrial researchers working on topics relating to Software Science. ETAPS is an annual event which takes place in Europe each spring since 1998. The nineteenth conference, ETAPS 2016, will take place April 2-8, 2016 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. ETAPS main conferences will take place on April 4-7, 2016. They are: + ESOP: European Symposium on Programming, + FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, + FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures, + POST: Principles of Security and Trust, + TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems. -- SATELLITE EVENTS -- The ETAPS 2016 organizing committee invites proposals for satellite events (workshops etc.) that will complement the main 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 2016 satellite events will be held immediately before and after the main conferences, on April 2-3 and April 8, 2016. -- ARRANGEMENTS FOR SATELLITE EVENTS -- The organizers of an ETAPS 2016 satellite are expected to: + create and maintain a website for the event, + form a PC, produce a call for papers for the event (if appropriate), + advertise the event through specialist mailing lists etc. to complement the publicity of ETAPS, + review the submissions received and make acceptance decisions, + prepare an informal (pre)proceedings for the event (if appropriate), + prepare the event's program complying with any scheduling constraints defined by the ETAPS 2016 organizing committee, + prepare and organize the publication of a formal (post-)proceedings (if desired). The ETAPS 2016 organizing committee will: + promote the event on the website and in the publicity material of ETAPS 2016, + integrate the event's program into the overall program of the conference, + arrange registration for the event as a component of registration for ETAPS, collect a participation fee from the registrants, + produce a compilation USB memory stick of the informal (pre-) proceedings of the satellite events of ETAPS 2016 and distribute this to the registrants, + provide the event with a meeting room of an appropriate size, A/V equipment, coffee breaks and possibly lunch(es). As a rule, ETAPS will not contribute toward the travel or accommodation costs of invited speakers or organizers of satellite events. -- SUBMISSION OF SATELLITE EVENT PROPOSALS -- Researchers and practitioners wishing to organize satellite events are invited to submit proposals to the workshop co-chairs Julien Schmaltz and Erik de Vink using this web form. A proposal should not exceed two pages and should include: + the name and acronym of the satellite event, + the names and contact information of the organizers, + the duration of the event: one or two days, + the preferred period: April 2, April 3, April 8 or April 2-3, + the expected number of participants, + a brief description (120 words approximately) of the event topic for the website and publicity material of ETAPS 2016, + a brief explanation of the event topic and its relevance to ETAPS, + an explanation of the selection procedure of contributions to the event, the PC chair and members, if known already, information about past editions of the event, if applicable, + any other relevant information, like a special event format, invited speakers, demo sessions, special space requirements, etc., + a tentative schedule for paper submission, notification of acceptance and final versions for the (informal pre-)proceedings (the ETAPS 2016 organizing committee will need the final files by March 12, 2016), + the plans for formal publication (no formal publication, formal proceedings ready by the event, formal post-proceedings, publication venue - EPTCS or elsewhere). The proposals will be evaluated by the ETAPS 2016 organizing committee on the basis of their assessed benefit for prospective participants of ETAPS 2016.

[TYPES/announce] ETAPS 2015 call for satellite events
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] 18th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software ETAPS 2015 London, UK, April 11-19, 2015 http://www.etaps.org/2015/ Call for Satellite Events -- ABOUT ETAPS -- The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS) is the primary European forum for academic and industrial researchers working on topics relating to Software Science. ETAPS is an annual event which takes place in Europe each spring since 1998. The eighteenth conference, ETAPS 2015, will take place between April 11th and 19th, 2015 at Queen Mary University of London, in London, United Kingdom. London is one of the most visited and cosmopolitan cities on earth. It is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence. It can be reached by more people, from more destinations, in less time, than any other destination in the world. ETAPS main conferences will take place on April 13th-17th, 2015. They are: - CC: International Conference on Compiler Construction - ESOP: European Symposium on Programming - FASE: Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering - FOSSACS: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures - POST: Principles of Security and Trust - TACAS: Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems -- SATELLITE EVENTS -- The ETAPS 2015 organizing committee invites proposals for satellite events (workshops etc.) that will complement the main 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 2015 satellite events will be held immediately before and after the main conferences, on April 11th-12th and April 18th-19th, 2015. -- ARRANGEMENTS FOR SATELLITE EVENTS -- The organizers of an ETAPS 2015 satellite are expected to: - create and maintain a website for the event, - form a PC, produce a call for papers for the event (if appropriate), - advertise the event through specialist mailing lists etc. to complement the publicity of ETAPS, - review the submissions received and make acceptance decisions, - prepare an informal (pre)proceedings for the event (if appropriate), - prepare the event's program complying with any scheduling constraints defined by the ETAPS 2015 organizing committee, - prepare and organize the publication of a formal (post)proceedings (if desired). The ETAPS 2015 organizing committee will: - promote the event on the website and in the publicity material of ETAPS 2015 - integrate the event's program into the overall program of the conference, - arrange registration for the event as a component of registration for ETAPS, collect a participation fee from the registrants, - produce a compilation USB memory stick of the informal (pre)proceedings of the satellite events of ETAPS 2015 and distribute this to the registrants, - provide the event with a meeting room of an appropriate size, A/V equipment, coffee breaks and possibly lunch(es). As a rule, ETAPS will not contribute toward the travel or accommodation costs of invited speakers or organizers of satellite events. -- SUBMISSION OF SATELLITE EVENT PROPOSALS -- Researchers and practitioners wishing to organize satellite events are invited to submit proposals in plain text or pdf by e-mail to Paulo Oliva p.ol...@qmul.ac.uk). A proposal should not exceed two pages and should include: - the name and acronym of the satellite event, - the names and contact information of the organizers, - the duration of the event: one or two days, - the preferred period: April 11-12th or April 18-19th, - a 120-word description of the event topic for the website and publicity material of ETAPS 2015, - a brief explanation of the event topic and its relevance to ETAPS - a tentative schedule for paper submission, notification of acceptance and final versions (the ETAPS 2015 organizing committee will need the final files for the local proceedings by March 13, 2015), - the plans for formal publication (no formal publication, formal proceedings ready by the event, formal post-proceedings), - the expected
