                Call For Papers

Joint International Symposia SAS'98 and PLILP/ALP'98

       Pisa, Italy, 14--18 September 1998

Important dates

    Submission:     April 3, 1998
    Notification:   May 29, 1998
    Final Version:  June 26, 1998


Scope of SAS'98
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SAS'98 is the Fifth International Static Analysis Symposium. Static
Analysis is increasingly recognised as a fundamental tool for high
performance implementations and verification systems of high-level
programming languages. The last two decades have witnessed substantial
developments in this area, ranging from theoretical frameworks to
design, implementation, and application of analysers in optimising
compilers.  Previous SAS symposia were held in Namur, Glasgow, Aachen
and Paris.

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including
concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic and
object-oriented programming.  Survey papers that present some aspect
of the above topics with a new coherence are also welcome.
Contributions are welcome on all aspects of Static Analysis,
including, but not limited to


Abstract Interpretation           Data Flow Analysis
Complexity                        Theoretical Frameworks
Experimental Evaluation           Verification Systems
Specific Analyses                 Type Inference
Partial Evaluation                Optimising Compilers
Abstract Domains



Scope of PLILP/ALP'98
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Joint International Symposium PLILP/ALP'98 unites the tenth PLILP
(Programming Languages, Implementations, Logics and Programs)
 and the seventh ALP (Algebraic and Logic Programming) conferences.
The  PLILP symposia traditionally aim at stimulating research
in declarative programming languages, and seek to disseminate
insights in the relation between the logics of those languages,
implementation techniques, and the use of these languages
in constructing real programs.

The ALP conferences traditionally promote the exchange of ideas and
experiences among researchers from the declarative programming
communities.  In addition to the standard topics, the 98 Joint
Symposium welcomes contributions also from other programming
areas, in particular from the concurrent and object-oriented fields.
  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to


Functional, Logic, and Constraint Programming
Object-Oriented Programming
Integration of Different Paradigms
Concurrent Extensions
Typing and Structuring Systems
Executable Specifications
Implementation of Declarative Languages
Compiler Specification and Construction
Parallel and Distributed Implementations
Programming Environments

Conferences venue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Symposia will take place at the Palazzo dei Congressi of Pisa,
Italy.  Pisa is one of the oldest towns in Italy: its Etruscanorigins
go back nearly 3,000 years. In Roman times Pisa became an important
port, and asserted itself as a seagoing power in the 12th century.
This period was the start of a phase of economic prosperity and
artistic splendour.  Furthermore it became also an active centre of
culture: its world famous University was founded in 1334.  Nowadays
Pisa's historical, cultural and artistic heritage attracts many
tourists from all over the world.
Pisa is well connected to the rest of Europe by its international
airport, which has daily flights to the main European cities, and by
good road and rail links.


Paper submissions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The submission deadline is April 3, 1998.  Papers must describe
original, previously unpublished work, and must not be simultaneously
submitted for publicaton elsewhere.  They must be written in English,
must not exceed 15 pages (Springer LNCS format, excluding references
and figures), and must contain a cover page containing the following:
a 200-word abstract, keywords, postal and electronic mailing
addresses, and phone and fax numbers of one of the authors.
Submission is electronic (up to exceptions): submission guidelines
will appear on the web site given under Additional Information.
Authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of their
