	   ESOP 2006: The European Symposium on Programming

		       Affiliated with ETAPS'06
	      Vienna, Austria, 25 March to 2 April 2006


CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION

ESOP is an annual conference devoted to fundamental issues in the
specification, analysis, and implementation of programming languages
and systems. This includes:

    * design of programming languages and calculi and their formal
      properties

    * techniques, methods, and tools for their implementation

    * exploitation of programming styles within different programming
      paradigms

    * automatic and manual methods for generating and reasoning about
      programs

    * the design and invention of systems and tools to assist in
      exploitation of the languages

Contributions bridging the gap between theory and practice are
particularly welcome.  Topics traditionally covered by ESOP include
programming paradigms and their integration, semantics, calculi of
computation, security and privacy, advanced type systems, program
analysis, program transformation, and practical algorithms based on
theoretical developments.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers
and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the
proceedings and have presentations during the conference. A
condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one of
the authors attends the conference to give the presentation. All
submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. In particular, simultaneous submission of the same
contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is forbidden.

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

It is recommended that submissions adhere to the specified format and
length.  Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected
immediately.

A link to the electronic submission system will available shortly on
the ESOP 2006 home page (http://www.itu.dk/research/esop06/).

RESEARCH PAPERS: Final papers will be not more than 15 pages long, and
should present original research. 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referee but not for publication in the final version - for example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.

TOOL DEMONSTRATION PAPERS: Submissions should consist of two parts:
The first part, at most four pages, should describe the tool
presented. 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
demonstration 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.)
