The NWPT series of annual workshops is a forum bringing together programming theorists from the Nordic and Baltic countries (but also elsewhere). The previous workshops were
held in Uppsala (1989, 1999 and 2004), Aalborg (1990), Gothenburg (1991 and 1995), Bergen (1992 and 2000), Turku (1993, 1998, and 2003), Aarhus (1994), Oslo (1996),
Tallinn (1997 and 2002), Lyngby (2001), and Copenhagen (2005). This time the workshop will visit Iceland for the first time, and will be held in Reykjavík.

Typical topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to):

    * Semantics of programs
