CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of FoSSaCS 2011 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series as Volume 6604.

Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS), which is the primary European
forum for academic and industrial researchers working on topics
relating to Software Science.
ETAPS 2011 is the 14th joint conference in this series and will be held in Paphos, Cyprus. The prior conferences have been ETAPS
1998 in Lisbon, ETAPS
1999 in Amsterdam, ETAPS
2000 in Berlin, ETAPS
2001 in Genova, ETAPS
2002 in Grenoble, ETAPS

2007 in Minho, ETAPS
2008 in Budapest, ETAPS
2009 in York and ETAPS
2010 in Paphos, Cyprus .
CALL FOR
PAPERS
FOSSACS seeks original papers on foundational research with a clear significance for software science.
The conference invites submissions on theories and methods to support the analysis, integration, synthesis,
transformation, and verification of programs and software systems.
The specific topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited
to, the following:
- Algebraic models,
- Automata and language theory,
- Behavioural equivalences,
- Categorical models,
- Computation processes over discrete and continuous data,
- Infinite state systems,
- Computation structures,
- Logics of programs,
- Modal, spatial, and temporal logics,
- Models of concurrent, reactive, distributed, and mobile systems,
- Process algebras and calculi,
- Semantics of programming languages,
- Software specification and refinement,
- Type systems and type theory.
- Fundamentals of security
- Semi-structured data
- Program correctness and verification
As FoSSaCS addresses a heterogeneous audience, potential authors are
strongly encouraged to write about their ideas and findings in general
and jargon-independent, rather than in application- and
domain-specific, terms.
IMPORTANT DATES
ETAPS 2011 conferences and other satellite events will be held March 26 - April 3, 2011.
As a part of ETAPS, FoSSaCS adheres to ETAPS submission and notification
deadlines:
- Monday, October 4, 2010
|
Submission of abstracts (postponed from October 1, 2010)
|
- Friday, 8 October 2010, 23:00 Samoa-Apia Time (worldclock,
countdown)
|
Strict deadline for submission of full papers.
|
- Friday, December 10, 2010
|
Notification of acceptance |
- Monday, January 3, 2011
|
Camera-ready paper versions due |
- March 26 - April 3, 2011
|
FoSSaCS 2011 Conference |
The paper submission deadline is STRICT. Making
the deadline for submission of abstracts a week early allows the
programme committee to start work before full versions are
available. Obviously, there is no need to wait with submission of the
full version until the final deadline.
Submission of an abstract implies no obligation to submit a full
version; abstracts with no corresponding full versions by the final
deadline will be treated as withdrawn, but authors are strongly
encouraged, in this case, to explicitly withdraw their submission by
sending an e-mail to the chairman.
SUBMISSION
GUIDELINES
Research papers cover one or more of the topics above and
are evaluated by the FoSSaCS Program Committee.
Submitted research papers must:
- be in English and have a maximum of 15 pages (including
figures and bibliography). Additional material intended for the referee
but not for publication
in the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit,
- present original research which is unpublished and not
submitted elsewhere (conferences, journals, books,...) -- in particular,
simultaneous submission of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS
conferences is forbidden.
- use the Springer-Verlag
LNCS style.
- be submitted electronically in PDF via the
EasyChair FoSSaCS 2011 Conference Service
Submissions deviating from these instructions may be rejected without review. A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one of the
authors attends the conference to give the presentation. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Final papers will be in the format specified by Springer-Verlag. Please note that FOSSACS does not accept tool demonstration papers. Any questions regarding the submission guidelines
should be directed to the Program Committee Chair Martin Hofmann
prior to submitting.
