- CALL FOR PAPERS
-
- Third International Conference on Algebraic
- Methodology and Software Technology, AMAST
-
- University of Twente, The Netherlands
- June 22-25, 1993
-
- Goals and Organization
-
- The goal of the third AMAST conference to be held on June 22-25, 1993, at
- the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, is to consolidate the
- trend towards using algebraic methodology as a foundation for software
- technology, and to show that universal algebra provides a practical
- mathematical alternative to the common, ad-hoc approaches to software
- engineering and development. Academia and industry are both beneficiaries
- of such a formal foundation.

- Invited Speakers
-
- To achieve the goal of the conference we aim to provide a forum in which
- leading researchers in mathematics, computer science, and software
- development, will come together to identify algebraic methodologies that
- are applicable as viable alternatives to the present software development
- approaches and to discuss the appropriateness of such alternatives with a
- view to implementation. Invited speakers, with a tentative indication of
- respective topics, include:
-
- Hubert Comon LRI, Orsay : Constraint Solving in Term
- Algebras
- Rob van Glabbeek Stanford University : Process Algebra
- Nicolas Halbwachs INPG, Grenoble : Reactive Program Synthesis
- Mike Johnson Macquarie Univ., Sydney : Category Theory for Software
- Engineering
- Giorgio Levi University of Pisa : Logic Programming
- Roger D. Maddux Iowa State University : Relation Algebra
-
- Submissions
-
- Talks reporting research in algebra and logic, suitable as a foundation
- for software technology, as well as software technologies developed by
- means of algebraic methodologies, are welcome. Demonstrations of systems
- showing the improved effectiveness of software developed on a mathematical
- basis (with or without a talk) will also be considered. To be more
- precise the organizers wish contributions on, but not limited to,
- algebraic methods for language design and compiler construction (e.g. for
- Algol-like programming languages), algebraic methodology for software
- engineering, algebraic specifications and algorithms to automatically
- build programs from such specifications, extraction of programs from
- constructive proofs, categorical, algebraic and logic programming,
- deductive databases, query language design, algebraic specification of
- concurrent systems, distributed operating systems, reactive systems,
- practical techniques and examples for verification of program and/or
- specification properties. We invite you to submit a two-page abstract
- (including a few citations of relevant work) of your talk to
-
- AMAST Conference,University of Twente,Fac. Informatica,Att. Mrs. Y. Rokker,
- P.O. Box 217,NL-7500AE Enschede,The Netherlands (phone: + 31 53 893701)
-
- Four-page abbreviated papers of the talks presented at the conference,
- together with the invited talks, will be collected in the participants'
- edition of the proceedings, which will be available to the attendees upon
- their arrival in Twente. The authors are expected to bring full versions
- of their papers at the conference, for further review and inclusion in the
- AMAST'93 Proceedings, to be published by Springer-Verlag, London. A
- special issue of Theoretical Computer Science will be dedicated to this
- conference; participants will be invited to submit their full paper for
- possible publication in this journal.
-
- Important Due Dates
- - Two page abstract submission by December 15, 1992.
- - Notification of acceptance by March 31, 1993.
- - Camera-ready four-page paper to appear in participants' proceedings
- by May 1, 1993.
- - Full paper for AMAST'93 Proceedings, at the conference.
