CALL FOR PAPERS: MFPS91
Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
March 25--28, 1991
This conference is the seventh in a series intended to bring together
computer scientists and mathematicians for discussion of research problems,
results and directions in programming language semantics.
A major goal of the series is to provide a forum for researchers in all
areas surrounding semantics to report on their research progress,
and to improve communication and interactions between mathematicians and
computer scientists who work in these areas.
The following have agreed to be invited speakers at MFPS91:
Jon Barwise, Indiana University
John Reynolds, Carnegie Mellon University
Dana Scott, Carnegie Mellon University
Mitchell Wand, Northeastern University
Glynn Winskel, Aarhus University
Papers are solicited on topics related to programming language semantics,
including:
Order-theoretic, topological and categorical approaches
Applications to programming language design and implementation
Program analysis and verification
Theory of concurrency
Types and polymorphism
This list is not exhaustive, and papers in related areas that fit
the general intentions of the conference are welcome. In particular,
we encourage submission of papers in areas represented by the invited
speakers.
Authors should mail 5 copies of a preliminary version of a paper,
limited to 12 typed or typeset pages, to:
Michael Main
Computer Science Dept., CB430
University of Colorado
Boulder, CO 80309
303-492-7579
Internet: main@boulder.colorado
Papers should provide sufficient detail for the program committee to
assess the merits of the research, and should contain appropriate references.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is October 15, 1990.
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by January 5, 1991.
We expect to publish the proceedings of the conference as a volume of
Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The date for
submission of final versions of accepted papers will be announced later.
The program committee includes:
Samson Abramsky, Imperial College
Boumediene Belkhouche, Tulane University
Bard Bloom, Cornell University
Stephen Brookes, Carnegie Mellon University
Carl Gunter, University of Pennsylvania
Michael Main, University of Colorado
Austin Melton, Kansas State University
Michael Mislove, Tulane University
John Mitchell, Stanford University
Philip Mulry, Colgate University
Frank Oles, IBM Yorktown Heights
Ana Pasztor, Florida International University
Bill Roscoe, Oxford University
Edmund Robinson, Sussex University
Andre Scedrov, University of Pennsylvania
David Schmidt, Kansas State University
Robert Tennent, Queens University
