-- GENERAL SUBMISSION INFORMATION --

ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers
and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the procee-
dings and have presentations during the conference. Submitted papers
must be in English presenting original research. They must be 
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere (neither
conference nor journal). In particular, simultaneous submission of
the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is forbidden. One
author of each accepted paper must attend the conference to present
the paper.

Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF (preferably) or PS
(using Type 1 fonts). The proceedings will be published in the Springer-
Verlag Lecture Notes  in Computer Science series. Final papers will
be in the format specified by Springer-Verlag at the URL:

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be 
rejected immediately, without review.

-- Research Papers --

Papers should be no more than 20 pages long (including figures and
references). Additional material intended for the referee but not
for publication in the final version - for example details of proofs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. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices,
and papers must be understandable without them.

-- Tool Demonstration Papers --

Submissions should consist of two parts:

- The first part, at most four pages, should describe the tool. Please
include the URL of the tool (if available) and provide information
which illustrates the maturity and robustness of the tool. (This part
will be included in the proceedings.)

- The second part, at most six pages, should explain how the demon-
stration will be carried out and what it will show, including screen 
dumps and examples.  (This part will be not be included in the 
proceedings, but will be evaluated.)

Please note that FOSSACS does not accept tool demonstration papers.

-- SATELLITE EVENTS --

At ETAPS 2010, 19 workshops will take place.

-- Paphos --

The west coast town of Paphos with its pleasant harbour and medieval
fort, combines a cosmopolitan holiday resort, spectacular countryside
and historical sites.  With a population of just 28.000 inhabitants, 
Paphos nestles in the lee of the Western Troodos Mountains and close
to the Akamas National Park which add another dimension to this area
of scenic beauty. Paphos has an air of holiday charm combined with
history, and olden-day elegance is lent to the town by its classical
style buildings in the upper part of town which leads to the shopping
area. The lower part of the town has a life of its own, down near the
sea, home of the harbour, the fish taverns, souvenir shops and several
hotels with important archaeological sites around them. Paphos was the
island's capital, and it is famous for the remains of the Roman
Governor's palace, where extensive, fine mosaics are a major tourist
attraction. The town of Paphos is included in the official UNESCO list
of cultural and natural treasures of the world's heritage.
