-- ABOUT ETAPS --

The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software
(ETAPS) is the primary European forum for academic and industrial
researchers working on topics relating to Software Science. ETAPS,
established in 1998, is a confederation of five main annual confe-
rences, accompanied by satellite workshops and other events. ETAPS
2010 is the thirteenth event in the series.


-- THE HOST CITY: PAPHOS, CYPRUS --

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.

ETAPS 2010 is organized by the University of Cyprus and will take place
at the Coral Beach Hotel and Resort in Paphos, Cyprus, a 5-start hotel
overlooking the golden sandy beaches and sparkling waters of Coral bay
and adjacent to the Akamas National Park.
