- Call for papers
-
- International Workshop on
- Semantics of Specification Languages
- SoSL
-
- 25-27 october, 1993, Utrecht, the Netherlands
-
- The workshop intends to investigate the problems of giving semantics
- for specification languages. It will incorporate a number of invited
- talks concentrating on giving an overview of major approaches to the
- semantics of specification languages. The workshop also intends to
- investigate general issues related to this area, such as type
- checking and the derivation of proof rules and proof obligations.
- The purpose of the workshop is to discuss various attempts of
- formally defining specification languages and to identify common
- issues that arise in this important area of formal methods. It will
- enable the various groups working in this area to interchange
- problems and ideas and possibly to identify a common programme of
- work for further investigation.
- Full original papers (up to 15 pages) are solicited, particularly in
- the following areas:
-
-
- - Semantics for specification languages;
-
- - Specification languages applied to formal software development;
-
- - Derivation of proof rules and proof obligations;
-
- - Techniques for type checking of specifications and related
- analysis;
-
- - Foundations of specification languages (logic, type theory,
- category theory, etc.).
-
-
- Survey papers of major approaches to the semantics of specification
- languages (up to 30 pages) are also solicited. Submitted papers will
- be refereed and accepted papers will be published.
-
-
- Program
- The author of an accepted research paper is expected
- to give a presentation of 25-30 minutes and the
- author of an accepted survey paper is expected
- to give a presentation of 50-60 minutes.
- Sufficient time will be scheduled for discussion
- groups.
-
- Submission
- Four copies of each submission should be sent to the
- SoSL secretariat at the address shown at the right.
- Authors who have limited access to reproduction
- facilities may submit one copy of the paper.
