MPC '95 Third International Conference on the MATHEMATICS OF PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION ----------------------------------- 17th--21st July, 1995 Kloster Irsee, Germany CALL FOR PAPERS The general theme of this series of conferences is the use of crisp, clear mathematics in the discovery and design of algorithms and in the development of corresponding software or hardware. The previous two conferences were held in 1989 at Twente, Netherlands, organised by the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, and in 1992 at Oxford, United Kingdom. The conference theme reflects the growing interest in formal, mathematically based methods for the construction of software and hardware. The goal of the MPC conferences is to report on and significantly advance the state of the art in this area. TOPICS The emphasis is on the combination of c o n c i s e n e s s and p r e c i s i o n in c a l c u l a t i o n a l t e c h n i q u e s for program construction. Typical areas are: - formal specification of sequential and concurrent programs; - constructing implementations to meet specifications; in particular, - program transformation; - program analysis; - program verification; - convincing case studies. While this list is not exclusive it is intended to show the focus of the conference. The proceedings will be published as Springer LNCS, ready at the conference. VENUE Kloster Irsee is a former Baroque monastery located in the Southwest of Bavaria, Germany, close to the Alps. It can be reached by train from the airports Munich and Stuttgart. SUBMISSION Full papers should be submitted in four hardcopies or, preferably, in compressed and uuencoded Postscript format by e-mail to reach B. M\"oller till December 1, 1994. Although there is no page limit, submissions should strive for brevity.
