TAPSOFT'97 -- CALL FOR PAPERS
April 14-18, 1997 -- Lille, FRANCE
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS : 13 Oct 1996
TAPSOFT'97 is the Seventh International Joint Conference on the Theory
and Practice of Software Development. The TAPSOFT series was started
in Berlin in 1985, on the initiative of Hartmut Ehrig and Christiane
Floyd (among others). Since then it has been held biennially, in
Pisa, Barcelona, Brighton, Orsay and Aarhus. The overall aim of
TAPSOFT was formulated as:
to bring together theoretical computer scientists and software
engineers (researchers and practitioners) with a view to
discussing how formal methods can usefully be applied in software
development.
TAPSOFT is traditionally composed of CAAP -- Colloquium on Trees in
Algebra and Programming, and FASE -- Colloquium on Formal Approaches
in Software Engineering. In recognition of the importance of support
tools for practical use of formal approaches, TAPSOFT'97 will also
have (at least) a session where TOOLS are demonstrated.
The five first editions of CAAP were held in Lille, from 1976 to 1980.
CAAP'97 will be the last one thus it comes back to Lille. In 1998, a
new joint conference, ETAPS (European joint conferences on Theory and
Practice of Software) will be held yearly in Spring. It is the
successor of TAPSOFT and CAAP-ESOP-CC.

Programme Committee:
S. Abramsky (UK)
A. Arnold (France)
G. Ausiello (Italy)
C. Boehm (Italy)
M. Dauchet (chair, France)
J. Diaz (Spain)
H. Ehrig (Germany)

S. Tison (France)
This colloquium series was originally devoted to the algebraic and
combinatorial properties of trees, and their role in various fields of
Computer Science. Now the scope of CAAP has been extended to other
discrete data structures and CAAP'97 will cover
algebraic, logical and combinatorial properties of discrete structures
and their applications to Computer Science.
Contributions on the following topics are especially welcome:
-- properties of discrete structures,
-- the theory of formal languages,
-- syntax and semantics of programming languages,
-- algorithms and data-structures,
-- logic and formal verification,
-- theoretical problems arising in software development.

This colloquium aims at being a forum where different formal
approaches to problems of software specification, development, and
verification are presented, compared, and discussed. Contributions on
the following topics are especially welcome:
-- formal concepts for software development,
-- software development using formal methods,
-- formal approaches for real-time and distributed systems,
-- provably correct software and verification methods,
-- reports on case studies of applications of formal methods,
-- programming languages and type systems,
-- tools and environments supporting formal approaches -- possibly in
conjunction with demonstrations.

------------------------ SUBMISSION TO TAPSOFT'97 ---------------------------
- Papers:
------
Prospective authors are invited to submit
=> five copies of a full draft paper,
and => an electronic copy by e-mail
(plain text or uuencoded gziped PostScript),
and => an abstract by e-mail.
The final paper should be no more than 15 pages in the Springer-Verlag
format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (the series in which the
Proceedings of TAPSOFT'97 should be published); see the back cover of
a recent volume for details. Submissions need not adhere to that
format, but those that are clearly too long will be rejected
immediately.
Papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Papers that attempt to establish links between different
approaches and/or include expository or survey material, as well as
presenting original results, will be welcomed.
- Tools:
-----
Demonstrations of tools supporting formal approaches to software
development are welcome. Proposers of demonstrations should submit
=> five copies of a brief description of the tools, making clear
the relevance to TAPSOFT (about four pages), and an electronic
copy by e-mail (plain text or uuencoded gziped PostScript). The
final abstract of tool demonstrations should be no more than 4
pages in the Springer-Verlag format.
=> The hardware and software requirements for installing and
demonstrating the tools should be specified on a separate page.
---------------------------------- DATES -----------------------------------
13 Oct 1996 => Deadline for receipt of submissions
9 Dec 1996 => Notification of acceptance
15 Jan 1997 => Final paper due
14-18 Apr 1997 => Presentation at conference
Papers arriving late may be rejected immediately, without
refereeing. The receipt of all submitted papers will be acknowledged.
