CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

12th International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology
Urbana, Illinois, United States
July 28th - 31st, 2008
http://amast08.cs.uiuc.edu


The major goal of the AMAST conferences is to promote research towards setting
software technology on a firm, mathematical basis. Work towards this goal is a
collaborative, international effort with contributions from both academia and 
industry. The conference series has become widely known for disseminating 
academic and industrial achievements within the broad AMAST areas of interest.
Through these meetings AMAST has attracted an international following among 
researchers and practitioners interested in software technology, programming 
methodology and their algebraic and logical foundations.


Registration for AMAST'08 is now open.


EARLY REGISTRATION: June 29, 2008.
