FOSSACS seeks original papers on foundational research with a clear
significance for software science. The conference invites submissions
on theories and methods to support the analysis, integration,
synthesis, transformation, and verification of programs and software
systems.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

    * Algebraic models,
    * Automata and language theory,
    * Behavioural equivalences,
    * Categorical models,
    * Computation processes over discrete and continuous data,
    * Infinite state systems
    * Computation structures,
    * Logics of programs,
    * Modal, spatial, and temporal logics,
    * Models of concurrent, reactive, distributed, and mobile systems,
    * Process algebras and calculi,
    * Semantics of programming languages,
    * Software specification and refinement,
    * Type systems and type theory.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Unlike other ETAPS conferences, FOSSACS only accepts research papers.
A condition of submission is that an author attends to give the
presentation. Submitted papers must be in English presenting original
research. All submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted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 URL for electronic submission will be
available at http://fossacs06.ru.is/ in due course.) 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.

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referee but not for publication in the final version - for example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.
